TiLT - TWENTY ONE!

Yo, yo, yiggedy yo!

Hope everyone's had a good week. My week's been pretty good, busy but good.

Things I'm living this particular thursday are:

- Old Gold (70% cocoa) dark chocolate... I bought some cos it was on sale at Big W, I saw it when I dropped my film off to be developed. It's so tasty, I've missed eating dark chocolate, I haven't in ages. It was like $3. I can't afford it but I had to have it, it's been keeping me happy.

- The Decemberists' new album - Hazards of Love. I've been obsessed with this one since Alison gave me it, oh man, it's a goodie. I love all their stuff but it's nice to have something new from them to sink my teeth into. It's different to their older stuff but I still really like it. I like how the whole album is one giant story and the songs blend from one to the next, it's grand.

- The fact that I am now on uni holidays until the 20th April! Yessss! Been desperate for some time away from uni for a while now, and it's finally here! I'm going to sleep in and catch up with some friends and whatnot. It'd be better if I didn't have about 5 assignments to work on but oh well.

- My action sampler camera! I got my first roll of film I've taken with it developed. It's ok considering I don't use film much, alot of the photos are over exposed which is really weird, but they still look kinda cool.

- The Hive. This is not a new love, but a renewed one. The Hive's moved locations, we had a volunteers meeting last night and now everything's back in full swing. I jumped in with both feet and am volunteering for the opening show at the new location, which is next saturday, it's gonna be grrrrreat.

- Rachel and Alisonnnn! We hung out tuesday and it was rad. I love those girls. Had Al over tuesday night, we watched trashy tv, it was lovely.

And that's pretty much it, this week's been so full of uni I haven't had much time to love things, but now I'm on holidays so I can relax a little, so yay.

The end

Self documentation

Good evening everyone,

This is what I wore tonight to a meeting at The Hive. Not a very interesting outfit but a fairly standard one for me, jeans and a shirt. Yep. I like my hair. I'm waiting for it to grow, it's taking forever.

The meeting was good, it's nice to be involved in The Hive again after me not being able to go to shows for a while cos of work. The only bonus of being unemployed is I have more free time. Apart from that, there are no other bonuses, I'm really, really poor.

Anyway... as some of you may or may not know, I sometimes take daily photos of my outfits in an effort to "cultivate my personal style" and basically keep track of what I wear and how I look each day. I'm trying to put more effort into my appearance. I stole the idea from Gala. I take the outfit photos all the time but I've never actually done anything with them, I just have them in a folder on my pc.... until today! I dunno why but I just felt like actually posting today's outfit on the web.

Weird and narcassistic as it is, I think it's useful to take daily outfit photos. I find it really interesting to be able to look back through what I've worn over the year so far, plus I'm obsessed with documentation. I like taking photos of everything and writing everything down, and this is just another way for me to document my life.
This month I'm aiming to take a photo of my outfit every day for a whole month, so far I haven't missed a day. Woo. I may or may not ever actually post another outfit online again, but for today, you can see what I wore.

That's pretty much it. Business as usual. Still job hunting. I've applied for 17 jobs in total so far. And I'm stressing over uni, but really, really looking forward to friday and beyond - EASTER HOLIDAYS! Yesss. I'm also stressing over money, I'm running out of money, fast... Sad thing is I'm not even buying exciting things, it's all just stuff for uni, train tickets, petrol and phone credit. Bleh. I went and saw Rachel's new house on tuesday! Yay! It's nice. And had Alisonnnn over last night, we watched trashy tv for hours on end. She's great. Today was full of errands and the gym and other things. I put my first roll of film from my 4 lens action sampler in to be developed, I'm going to pick it up tomorrow... I hope at least some of the shots turned out. I'm pretty sure the film was about 4 or more years old, haha. Apart from that not much else is going on.

I'm going to stop writing and go to bed now... I have to be up in 7.5hrs. Gosh.
Good night,
xx

TiLT - Week Twenty + more!

GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE!

Happy sunday!



My TiLT is 4 days late! OH YEAH.
Hope you've all had a lovely week.
My week's been all over the place in both good and bad ways... Stressful from uni and busy with classes and assignments and stressing out in general about uni, life and money (or lack there of). However, the last few days have been awesome. Back to reality tomorrow when I have to go to class and do work concentrate, compared to all my adventures of the last few days... gah.

I actually wrote my TiLT for this week on WEDNESDAY night, but haven't had a chance to blog it until now because of assignments and my car breaking down and various social outings and such.

Things I was loving this thursday are (this list is short cos the week up until thursday was rather dull but whatever) -
- EBAY. Oh man. Whoever invented Ebay, I love you. Best place to find interesting cameras.
- CARD READER IN MY LAPTOP! Yeah I'm a total dork. I've had my laptop since like December 07, and only just realised there's a SD card reader in the side of it, near some of the other ports I never use. It's hidden away underneath the edge of the the laptop, and I just never noticed it cos I don't ever actually look at all the ports I never use. Anyway, my inbuilt card reader is now my new best friend.
- DIGITAL PHOTO PROFESSIONAL! Again, more camera related things. This's the software that came with my Canon DSLR, and it rocks. Like photoshop but it's also a RAW converter, which is super useful and easy to use :D
- SKINS. I'm well an truly addicted now. Oh man. It's so great. I love Cassie and Maxi and Chris and Jai (spelling?). Yeah. They're my faves. They rock.
- GOSSIP GIRL. It's so freaking trashy and juicy. I want my own Dan Humphrey. Serena doesn't love him like I do. Lol.
- MY FAB FRIENDS! Jade, Dan, Al, Jack and Rach all came to visit me when I was painting my TSB last weekend. Totally made my day, thanks boys and girls <3>
- MY NORTHSIDE VET CARE GIRLS! They were so excited to see me on thursday when I went in! Hugs all round, I felt special.
- Looking forward to: Easter hols! 10th - 19th April! Yeeeeow! Also looking forward to getting my K-Rudd money so I won't be broke anymore. Thanks K-Rudd!


In other news, I've had the best last 3 days I've had in a long time. That sentence is retarded but whatever.
The last 3 days have been awesome, they are as follows -

FRIDAY - Went to uni, handed in my first actual photography assignment and matching tech report in my Prac 1A tut. Then we played with the Rollei Flex 6 x 6 cameras (they're old and heavy and use 120mm film which is SO COOL) and set up our own studio spaces with lighting, reflector boards, soft boxes and backgrounds! SO MUCH FUN. Friday after uni I went back to my car after getting the train from uni, to find I'd left my lights on. The car battery was dead. RACQ saved my day and I got home ok, where Kev then charged my car battery for me. In the mean time Jade came and picked me up! We went to hers, she bleached my hair some more, we went to radio, we then got HJ's (monster burgers zomg!) and went back to hers for hours and hours of IT Crowd. I'm in love with the IT Crowd. OH MAN IT'S SO GREAT I WANT TO WATCH IT RIGHT NOW. Haha. Then I stayed over Jade's. Thankyouuu Jadeeeee for Friday night!

SATURDAY - Jade dropped me home, I got ready to go and see Matt in the city for lunch... got in my car to leave for the train, and BOM BOM BOM it wouldn't start. Again. Which doesn't make sense cos the battery was fully charged and mum even drove it for me on friday night when I was out. Nevertheless, Mum took me to the bus at Chermy. I went and hung out with Matt and we had lunch at Nandos and took lots of photos on our multiple cameras and it was nice. Between us we had 5 cameras, 7 if you include our mobile phones! The photo is mine and Matt's lunch, our many cameras and a bit of Matt himself. Thanks for saturday Matt! I also went and visited lovely Rachel at work J I MISS YOU RACHEL. Gosh. We need to catch up soon! Yes so, city with Matt, visited Rach, then I got the bus home… And who should be on my bus but the amazing CRYSTAL! We screamed with excitement when I got on the bus and we saw each other. Man I miss you girl! It was such a lovely surprise to see Crystal! Anywho, so I eventually got home after coffee with Mum and Chermy and my car still wouldn’t start so I thought I’d have a night in, until Jack rings me! Him and Dan ended up coming and picking me up and we went to the train, where we ran into a whole bunch of people I hadn’t seen since high school, which was sweet as! Anywho, Dan, Jack and I went to The Hanger at Red Hill and met up with Alison and Katers. THE HANGER IS SO COOL. I WANT TO LIVE THERE. It’s a derelict indie gig place that’s underneath a bunch of random shops. It was so cool. We saw Fickle Beasts among other bands and generally had a great time! This photo is of Jack, Katers and Al at The Hanger. Good times. I wanna go there again soon. It had a wall of old tvs as the background behind where the bands played, plus lots of couches, bean bags and fridges. It was great and full of random stuff.

TODAY – My mum got me a new car battery (my dead one was under warranty, thank god!) and so my car is now up and running again! I went to Chermy and had lunch with the lovely James! J It was really nice to see him and catch up. Now I'm at home enjoying the live set of The Kooks on JJJ and sitting around in my new pjs.

And that’s pretty much the best bits of the last three days in my life.
Long story short the last three days were so insanely awesome cos I saw so many people I love! Jade, Dan, Jack, Rach, Alison, Matt, Katers, Crystal and James :D Yay yay yay.

So yeah. I’m in a good mood. I have freshly blonded chunks in my hair and Barbie pink fingernails andddd I’m wearing my new pjs. Mum took pity on me cos I’m poor and bought me new pjs. They’re adorable and have gold fish on them! Thanks Mum<3

Hope you all enjoyed reading all that, haha.
Love
xx













p.s This last photo is of me and Katey at The Hanger. It's way over exposed. You can only see our hair. I love it.
p.p.s One more thing - the hair compliments have continued, and now are even more common since Jade re-blonded my hair. Jack, Dan and a random chick in the loo at The Hanger last night complimented me on my hair and skirt. And I don't remember who else from last night. And all the people I ran into from school on the train complimented me on my hair. And James did today too :D I feel special.

Lennox + TiLT 19

HELLO BLOGGERS!

Welcome to my long, long overdue blog of updates and general awesomeness.
I haven't blogged in 16 days for a variety of reasons, but I'm here now and that's the main thing.

I feel rather terrible for missing two TiLTs in a row! I did email the one from two weeks ago (TiLT number 18) to Jd and Rach, but thursday last week I was away on PHOTOGRAPHY CAMP AT LENNOX HEADS and didn't have access to a computer until I got home on friday afternoon, so I just kind of never wrote one for last week. Nevertheless, I've written one for today!

Here's what I'm loving this thursday:
- My ever expanding camera collection! Mum gave me two hand-me-down cameras earlier this week, one from the early 1900's and one from the 1950's, they're both ah-mazing! These two plus my new action sampler bring my collection to a grand total of 9 cameras! And Matt's got me a three lense film one from Ebay for a late birthday present, and I am going to buy a Fujifilm Instax when (or if?!) I get my K-Rudd money! Wooo! I'm obsesseddddddd.
- Getting compliments on my hair! If I had $1 for every time some one had asked me "Do you curl your hair like that every morning?" or "Where do you get your hair dyed like that?" I would be a zillionare. OH MAN, I'M NOT EVEN EXAGGERATING, IT'S ALMOST SCARY. I've been getting them hardcore over the last two weeks. At photography camp almost every single person I talked to complimented on my hair - the curls, the colour, the cut or all three. I had oodles of randoms at camp coming up to me just to tell me they liked my hair. IT WAS NUTS. Also, I've had randoms in the real world outside camp also complimenting me on my hair, alot. Like, it's really strange! People from camp, people I don't even know, friends' mums, friends from uni, friends not from uni, even when I was handing out resumes people complimented me on my hair at three of the places I went into! I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE SUDDEN INFLUX OF LOVE FOR MY HAIR, IT'S WEIRD BUT ALSO KIND OF NICE. THANKS JADE FOR BLEACHING IT, EVEN THOUGH THAT WAS LIKE 4 OR 6 WEEKS AGO NOW, HAHA. Anywho.
- My new photography friends at uni, man it's nice knowing more than two people that I've made friends with in my course...
- Being able to say "I'm studying photography at the Queensland College of Art". Lame, I know, but hey, I think it's pretty cool.
- Using manual focus on my DSLR. Man, it makes for some wicked rad photos! The pic of the green shoes was taken on camp, I did it usuing selective focus, pretty cool I think, but hard to tell cos I uploaded it in the smallest size possible but oh well.
- Jade. She cheered me up when I was rather down on tuesday, and she even made me a polyvore! Thanks babe.

And that's pretty much it. Had a rather non-happy week full of stress and exhaustion, but hey, it's friday tomorrow.

So, seeings as I've been a slack blogger, here's some things that have happened since the 10th of March when I last blogged - I'll try and put them in sequential order, so you can all be totally up to date on the last few weeks of life in the land of Lou...

- Jack and I saw Sparkadia at their last Brissy show for a while on the 13th. Oh man, it was a good night after the stress of Jack not having a ticket was resolved (he bought the last one available at the door) it was a good show. The Jezabels (did I spell that right?) were pretty cool, John Steel Singers were, as always, fabulous and Sparkadia were pretty good but did leave a bit to be desired. I thought seeings as Sparkadia won't be back in Australia for a year or more, they'd jazz things up for their last show in Brissy for a while, but they didn't really, just played a steady set, not leaving much room for talking between songs. Nevertheless they were enjoyable, even if they did lack a bit of energy, they were still pretty amazing as far as live bands go, perhaps I expected too much, I don't know. But yes a good night overall, Jackus and I had fun. Faavourite quotes from Jack from that night are: *I tie up my hair into a bun* Jack: *Looks at me for a while* "Did you... stop wearing something just then?". Other fave quote - on the train ride home at 1am, Jack whilst leaning on me: "Shut up, I need to sleep! Louises are for sleeping on!" Good times, haha.
- I went on a road trip to Maleney and Montville with Wilko on the 14th... check my facebook for pictures. It was a super fun day and nice just to not think about uni or work or anything for a few hours. Wilko and I went op shopping and scored some bargains, had lunch in Montville, coffee in Maleny and even went to the Witta cemetery for a while. Good times, good times.
- I did my last shift at NVC on the 15th. Yeah. Grrr. Sad and frustrating. Let's not go there.
- I went on Photography camp at Lake Ainsworth near Lennox Head in Northern NSW from 17th - 20th... again check my facebook for more pictures. Photography camp was MEGA awesomecore. I did about 9 workshops over the 4 days, made heaps of new photography friends and generally just had a great time. The location was beautiful too - right between Lake Ainsworth and the beach, so lovely! The workshops were super rad too, especially working with the 10 X 8 camera (which we took on the beach! It was such an odd thing to see!) and also making pinhole cameras out of every day objects and developing the prints ourselves, I'm now addicted to anything to do with a dark room. I could go on about every workshop I did, but I won't bore you. Long story short, it was awesome, I learnt lots, got to play with some wicked film and digital cameras and made some cool new friends, all the time somehow managing to avoid swimming in the pool, lake or ocean, cos I'm too cool for that. (JOKES, I just don't dig swimming that much.)
- I had Jack, Al and Rach over randomly on the 20th for dessert and a chat at 9pm, it was great. Woulda been greater if I wasn't totally exhausted from camp though, haha. Love you threeee.
- I've become very poor from a lack of employment... Jack and Alison, how do you do it?! I'm hanging out for the K-Rudd money and the payment for a photography job I did about a month ago...
- I babysat on the 21st for cash, it was good because I'm rather poor right now. Easy money. If you know anyone who has kids and needs a good babysitter, give them my number haha.
- I spent the weekend 21st - 22nd applying for jobs. I applied for 11 in total, most of which were businesses that had multiple locations/offices so I really applied for more than 11 places but yeah. I'm considering having a break from vet nursing, and working in either a pet shop or perhaps a clothes shop, just for something a bit different.
- I went back to class after photography camp this monday - 23rd - and then became completely inundated with uni work and assignments and have spent this whole week running around taking photos for my many assignments. Bleh. I also have a 1000 word modernism essay to write... should probably start that, haha.
- I bought a cheap ($12AU) film camera from ebay! It's a lomo action sampler and has 4 lenses, it's wicked rad and made of cheap plastic and I love it. I picked it up from the post office on the 24th, and I've started using it. Can't wait to see if any of the pictures are decent or not!
- I had a job interview today at Ally (it's girls/womens clothes store for those who don't know) I'll find out tomorrow if I've been short listed or not. Woo. I don't really mind either way.
I'm waiting to hear back from Pet Barn to see if I'll get an interview there for one of their stores.
- Overall things have been rather hectic and exhausting lately, trying to find a job and do uni classes and assignments whilst still managing to have a regular sleep pattern is hard. I've spent this whole week taking photos and getting them printed for uni, I want a holiday so bad! I'm drowning, so much so that Jade was actually going to buy me floaties. Yes, floaties.

So there. Now you're all up to date on the more interesting happenings of my life over the past few weeks.
Yep.

Tomorrow I'm off to uni for the fourth day this week, as per usual, then probably to the gym.. And I'm (most likely, so long as it doesn't rain) going to FINALLY painting by TSB at Chermside this weekend, all weekend. No relaxing weekend for me, just paint and (hopefully not but probably) sunburn.

Hope you're all going ok and arn't needing floaties like I am.
How is uni/school/work/life in general going for everyone?
Love from your little photographer girl,
xx

p.s I made me into a polyvore the other day... Check it :P
I have this dress in purple in real life... and I want that fisheye camera!

Blue Lou - by Louchasy on Polyvore.com

p.p.s I wanted to upload ALOT more photos into this blog but blogger was being annoying and it took me 4 tries just to get these two pics up so... yeah. Look on my facebook for more if you're keen.
p.p.p.s DAN I MISS YOU. GET WELL SOON MATE.
p.p.p.p.s Sorry to all my regular readers for me being so so so slack. Won't (hopefully) happen again, also hello to all of you who I haven't already meantioned :)

Antlers

GOOD EVENING READERS!

Warning! This blog has no real point or direction, but hey, what else is new?!

I'm just going to dive right into things...
So, as mentioned in my TiLT, here's a photo from the vet's house who likes to hunt in his spare time. More pictures to come but this is all I have for now. I like it though.
It's so unsual to see a deer in someone's living room. Think about it.
It was so confronting at the time, I'm still mulling it over in my brain.

Apart from this I don't have many other interesting things to report.
I'm slowly coming to terms with the fact that I'm a student again. I did actual work outside of class today... researching artists and photocopying their photography counts as me doing work right? Righttt? Haha.
Photography at uni is so full on and in depth, and it's only the second week of classes! It's nuts! I bought one of my required text books today though, so I have all the good intentions of actually being a good student and actually studying.
We'll see how long that lasts.

In other news, Gossip Girl is the highlight of my week, no, really.
That and the fact that the new edition of Empty Mag will be appearing in my letter box any day now, I can't wait to get my hot little hands on it! I've been itching for the new edition for about a month now!
So yeah... My life is mega mundane and not interesting at the moment.
I'm going on photography camp next week, should be wicked awesome, no idea how I'm getting there though considering it's down near Byron Bay. But hey, it should be pretty cool. It'll be like school camp but with alot of expensive cameras and alcohol. And we're in dorms that're mixed and we pretty much decide everything about what we do, where/if we sleep, whether we want to actual do the photography workshops or not etc etc etc. Should be interesting, thats for sure.

Moving right along... I'm meant to be painting another TSB tomorrow but the weather forcast is rain. Everytime I go to paint this particular TSB something stops me - holiday to the coast, being really sick for 3 weeks, loosing my job, having to go to uni, and now on my one day where I don't have uni the predicition is rain, like, wtf mate. Not fair.

Anywho... As of this weekend I'm unemployed. I need to fix my resume and start handing it out places but I'm so just in denial that I've actually lost one of the few things that's been a constant in my life over the past 3.5 years. I'll no longer be Louise-who-works-at-the-vet. I'll just be Louise-who-used-to-have-a-cool-job-at-the-vet-and-is-now-unemployed-angry-and-poor.
Bleh. I'll find a new job somewhere I'm sure. In a few weeks, maybe. When I've got my shit together.

That's pretty much it for now. I think I shall go to bed.
The end.


















p.s I straightened my hair on sunday for the first time in a longgggg time. I had to take a picture. Me with straight hair is a rarity. Woo. It's so yellow under fluro light.

Now I'm really going to bed.
Nite.

TiLT - Week Seventeen, and other random stuff, yo!

Welcome bloggers and the like!

So it's been a week since my last blog and although not too many ground breaking things have happened since then, a small update is in need. But, first let's get down to business - I've got a TiLT to publicise here.
On a random side note I am rather proud of myself for blogging fairly frequently over the last 5 or so months, makes me feel good, even if barely anyone actually ends up reading what I write.

Things that I'm loving this week are as follows:

Ok so almost everything on my TiLT list this week is uni and/or photography related, because I'm having a bit of a tough time trying to focus on work because I get sad but oh well. It's where my head is at right now.

- Being at uni again! It's so nice to be learning and actually engaging my brain in some sort of learning process is great. I've been taking notes in all my classes like crazy cos I really like writing and I learn more if I write it down. It's also really nice to be studying something I'm so infatuated with! It's amazing! All my tutors and lecturers are the most interesting and inspiring assortment of men and women too, it's so great. I'm going to re-read this blog in a few weeks when I'm stressed out to the max to remind myself why I liked uni in the first place.

- Making new photography friends! Following on from my first point, making new uni friends is awesome! I've met a few great people and I'm sure I'll meet more as the weeks go by, it's only week one after all. I'm sure once week 3 arrives and we go on crazy photography camp I'll meet loads more people! Woo!

- Being a photography student! Ok so following on again, uni is wicked rad. The photo of the bird of paradise is one I took today in my studio class. We were let loose in South Bank for an hour with a list of expercises for apeture, depth of field, ISO and shutter speed to complete. We then went back to the studio and some of us (those who were brave.. including me) gave our SD cards and we went through our shots in front of the class. The tutor said my shots were "good", which made me feel pretty cool considering he just said most other people's were "fine". Haha. Sometimes I feel I'm already in over my head in terms of the maths and science side of everything, but the actual practical stuff does make the maths make more sense.

- Birds of Tokyo and Trial Kennedy with Dan! Such a great night out, except for the whole drama of Dan forgetting his ticket. Haha. But yes, fantastic show put on by TK and Birds, I was throughly impressed. I sung along to all the songs and bopped my way through the whole gig whilst taking photos. The one to left is of the support, some random crazy Perth DJ named Thomas Ford. He gets 10 points for entertainment value alone, he was wearing a strand of light bulbs!

- Randoms complimenting me on my photos! Following on from my previous point, some random lady saw me taking photos during the gig and was looking over my shoulder when I was showing Dan, and then random leans down to me (Dan and I were sitting down on the ground between bands) and is all like: "Omg your photos are amazing! Wow! They're so good!" Etc. I was like: "Oh.. wow, thankyou... I'm a photography student" and then we chatted for a while. Turns out she went to school with the TK boys! So, after TK finish playing this random lady (the one who complimented me on my photos) goes down to talk to the lead singer of TK, Dan and I follow and end up meeting and getting our picture with the lead singer of TK! SO AWESOME. I HAD SUCH A GOOD NIGHT. THANKYOU DAN.

- Freelance photography work and being paid for it! I'm loving that I keep getting money for taking photos, it's pretty cool to earn money doing something you love. If you have a photography job for me let me know and I'll take photos for you! The photo to the left is a random one I took of the tulips Michelle got me. I was taking photos of them every day, sort of like a time lapse thing, seeing how they slowly wiltered and eventually died. I liked this shot in particular.

- Taco Tuesday! This tuesday I finally made it to the Alibi Room for Taco Tuesday, it was a great night out despite the fact that their air con was broken and we all literally had sweat dripping off us! Jack, Dan, Al and I ate mexican and then went and got gelati and spent hours chatting and eating, it was so lovely. I love you guys so freakin' much.

Special mentions: Budget shopping at Woolies with Jade and seeing Jade in general. Woooo. Yep. Also: Discovering that one of the vets at work has a hunting fettish and as a result has a zebra skin rug in his house, along with some buffallo, deer and gizelle heads mounted on the walls. It was amazing, horrifying and breath taking all at once. I've now patted my first zebra(!) - I just wish the zebra wasn't flat on the living room floor. Moving on... Other mentions go to: Subway, Woolies choch chip cookies, lemon lime and bitters soft drink that's no brand and cost me 80 cents, coleslaw (always a fave), Caitey from work cos she's great, my new face scrub cos it's awesome, the under water photos I took up the coast actually turning out and being hilarious (can't remember if I've mentioned that before or not... Not gonna re-read all my blogs to re-check either), the song "Love Lockdown" by Kanye West - I don't mind a bit of Kanye now and then, and I've had that one on repeat all week, actually logging into my DeviantArt account and considering updating things, taking photos of puppies and just about everything else, doing new tattoo designs on the train and finally - blackberry chupa chups.
The photo of the german shepard pup is one I took at work. Look close. He's winking. It's adorable.

For the second week in a row I've been slack and posted my TiLT on a friday.. I should change my post names to TiLF but that sounds weird. I'll try really hard to actually post it on thursday next week, I will!

Ok so I'm writing this TiLT then going to bed. I'm rather tired. My eyelids are drooping. And yet, my brain just wants to keep on going. I'm buzzing with ideas and thoughts about photography from my first week of uni. It's been really great so far. I've learnt so much and it's only been a week!













Following on with the lack of actual structure and logical thought sequences in this blog - I'm considering starting a photo blog, but I really like writing too so I'd be way too tempted to write loads of stuff everytime I posted a photo.
So, instead, I'm going to just keep blogging here and upload loads of photos (but hey, what else is new?!) as I blog. So there.
What a waste of a paragraph, haha. Oh well. This photo is an out of focus one of my fish. My fish are pretty cool, as far as fish go, the orange one, Norbert, has a bit of a fungal infection or something going on on some of his scales at the moment, I'm not really sure what to do but I'll take him to work soon and get someone to look at him.

ALSO! THE ITC! IT'S OVER! I FAILED (KINDA)! WOO! Well I didn't fail entirely, I went to the gym a fair bit but because I was sick for most of February it kinda ruined the ITC for me. But hey, the intentions and goals were there, haha. I haven't given up though. I'm after a life style change that's permanent, not just a one month challenge, so I'm going to try and keep it up. I've been to the gym twice this week despite having to work and/or go to uni everyday except wednesday! Woo!

Ok so I think I'm done randomly blogging for now. Hope you all had lots of things you were loving this thursday!

p.s Sam! HOW ARE YOU! Long time no talk! How's school? And the library? And Yogi?

p.p.s I've just discovered the "compose" button when you're creating a blog.. I've always just done it in the "edit html" part and not ever clicked the "compose" option.. I've now discovered the amazing world of being able to change fonts, and the colour and size of my text. This will be exciting, oh yes.

Tilt - WEEK SIXTEEN! FOUR MONTHS OF TILTING!

Hi all!

Ok, so yes, my TiLT list is a few days late, but, I had it written on thursday as normal then totally forgot to blog it!

I had a very shit week last week but here goes:

- "Looking for Alaska" by John Green - Rachel lent it to me, I'm addicted. I'm almost done, like 10 pages left and I've only had it just over a week. Brilliant stuff. I want to read Paper Towns next!
- Uni O Week - It was pretty daunting, and the maths tut was scary but the week over all was pretty great. Such a large variety of people enrolled in photography, some have been into it for years like me, others just decided over the summer to enrol in the course on a whim! Amazing!
- British India + Blood poets with Rachel last thursday! It was super fun times, we need to have more of these nights Rach!
- Lily Allen's new cd "It's not me, it's you" - Jade bought it for me and man, I've had it on repeat in my cd player ever since!
- The Week That Was and Port OBrien - Two bands I've been meaning to get into for aaaages and finally have, now I'm obsessed! Love!
- Eye make up! i'm slowly getting more confident, and with that, more addicted. Lime Crime is so much funnnn, especially when I use it with a wet brush!
- Sexy cameras! We had a photography expo at uni on thursday, mand that was amazing. I also discovered both my lenses for my DSLR are above and beyond the requirements that I need for uni, so I was pretty stoaked about that! Can't wait to get into it all!
- The nurses who I’ve come to call my family at work and are still on my side after everything. I loast my job on monday, and all my nurses have stuck by me so well. Michelle even got me a gorgeous bunch of tulips!
- Wilko! He took me out for Nandos and a late night romp in the park on thursday night! Cheered me up immensely :) Thankyou buddy!
- Jade! Sticking by me when my life is falling apart, even if hers is too, that is commitment right there.
- Dan giving me hugs.
- Making a few friends at a new Uni, and running in to lovely Erin today at uni! I'm thinking this year will be a good one!
- Bumming around with Jack. I LOVE YOU. Doing nothing but talk for 3 and a bit hours today was lovely!

Looking forawrd to : Photography camp and getting drunk with all my new photography class mates (apparently it's a tradition that everyone gets very drunk each night on camp! LOL!).
Birds of Tokyo and Trial Kennedy with Dan.
Sparkadia with Jade and Jack.
Catching up with all my mates who're going to uni at QUT!
Reading A Clockwork Orange that Jack lent me!

That's all.
Hope you all had a fabulous week, I didn't really, but the things I listed above sure helped cheer me up when I needed it most.

The end!
xx

p.s RACHEL I MISS YOU. ALISON I MISS YOU ALSO.
