RECLINER ROOM

2012-02-12T09:29:00.001-08:00

I'm posting this at 4:30am from the recliner room of the Spirit of Tasmania. It's been completely hilarious listening to all these people snore and mutter in their sleep around me.
Also, the super hot guy in the seat next to me (who'd be played by Bryan Greenberg in the movie) who has chatted away and snuggled into my shoulder while he snored the long night away. I'm not really sure what to do about it, so I've let him be.
Less fun was the old fat fuck in front of me who snorted loudly all night and farted. Get a damn room next time and contain it incase you shit your pants.

MY WEEK WITH MARILYN

Oh my gosh, I can't wait for this! How amazing is Michelle Williams?! Divine!
I've been watching the trailer on iTunes for weeks and weeks now.
She is perfection.

THE SUNDAY SESSIONS

2012-01-15T05:09:00.000-08:00

I get one Sunday off a month and tonight was it. Dinner with the gays, a walk around Salamanca Wharf to look at MONA FOMA (j'taime) and a later drink with my ladies.

Aaaah, Hobart is so great when MOFO is on ♥ Girltalk is playing on Wednesday, can't wait!
And how good does that steak look? I love me some Ball & Chain. Yummmm.

DATE WITH AN EX.

2012-01-11T04:43:00.000-08:00

I wore this to dinner and a movie last night with an ex. I now realize my colour coordinating resembles a watermelon. In appropriate weather, I think that would be ok, but even though it's summer here in Hobart it's still fucking freezing. God damn.

Anyways, the important thing out of this post is that Titanic is coming out in 3D in April! The Romeo & Juliet poster there reminded me.
FUCKINGFUCKYEAHIALMOSTFUCKINGDIED.
I will be first in line, I swear to God. And I promise I'll slay any bitches that get in my way, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE BORN AFTER 1997. YOU JUST DON'T FUCKING GET IT, RIGHT?

Also, we were early for the movie, so we ventured around Kmart (romantic, I know) and I bought all the Harry Potter DVD's for $9 each (Except the last two) and I've been marathon'ing them all day while I baked. Yup. I baked.
I baked and I'm doing my ex. The world really has gone mad.

Important things:
Jacket: Sussans
Pink top: Crossroads
Jeans: Target
Shoes: Novo
Necklace: Lovisa

I look like I have really big hair, hey? Nah, it's just in a top knot bun. The bigger the hair the closer to God, right? Pft.
Oh! And I'll take some photos of my "What Would Jesus Wear?" magnets tomorrow for you all. They're amazeballs.

CRICKET

2012-01-09T05:28:00.000-08:00

In a desperate attempt to do loads of things over the summer, we rugged up in January and went to the Hobart Vs. Melbourne 20/20 cricket match.
Silly me forgot to take a photo, but along with this being the first time I've ever been to the cricket, it was also the first time I've ever eaten a Chicko Roll. True story. Probably the last too.

We did however make it onto TV! Yay! We didn't see, but my boss took a photo and MMS'd it to me! Surprise! I blocked the other people out, but that's me on the end clearly not looking at the game. The people sitting in front there left after about 20 minutes into the game declaring that it was already over and Melbourne had won. What a waste of seating, as the game was sold out.
I didn't watch a lot of the game, I was too busy watching the 13,700 other people.
Oh, and Hobart lost. Silly sport.

RESOLUTIONS 2

Okay people, lets visit last years resolutions.

2011:
"Eat less, drink less = weigh less.
Listen to more classical music, practice more = Be better and do AMus already.
STOP SPENDING ALL MY MONEY!, open a savings account = Being richer.


EDIT: Oh, and get rid of all the shit guys in my life. Haha."

GOOD MORNING LUCY! JUST A GIANT REMINDER THAT ALL YOUR EX'S ARE GETTING ENGAGED AND YOU'RE STILL SINGLE! JUST REMINDING YOU THAT THERE'S OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU! OH AND EVEN YOUR MOTHER THINKS YOU'RE SOME SORT OF LONELY SPINSTER AT THE RIPE OLD AGE OF 25! HAVE A NICE DAY NOW!

I like being single at Christmas time, I only have to buy presents for meeeeeee. Fuck yeah.
Cheers to singledom.

DRINKS WITH THE LADIES

2011-11-30T15:20:00.000-08:00

We had a ladies drinks and dinner last night, and I left the house despite my god awful cold.
I bought this necklace forever ago and forgot about it! Finally bought it out to play and fell completely in love with it.

We shared a few pizzas over scotch and coke at Cargo before moving on the Observatory bar for a dance and to check out the talent ;)

I also apologize for my iPhone pictures, my camera has shat itself and I still haven't replaced it. Thank god for Instagram, that's all I can say. You can follow me: my link is in the side bar over there ---->

BOYZ II MEN 'TWENTY'

2011-11-18T07:02:00.001-08:00

I have to say, I died a little of excitement when I found out Boyz II Men were releasing a new album, with new recordings of their old hits. I know, I know, I'm ruining my street cred, but seriously, who DOESN'T love a bit of 90's R&B, right?

OUT ON FRIDAY

2011-11-18T05:33:00.000-08:00

It was cold here, so rugging up before heading out for drinks with my ladies was necessary.

A PROBLEM WITH EBAY

2011-10-18T07:06:00.000-07:00

I own all these things that I don't need, and then a few things more! Whoops! My posty and I are on a name-to-name basis, and he always waits longer at the door because he knows I work night shift and might need a minute to get down the stairs. What a champion!
Can't wait to get my mitts on that sparkly gold cardi though, it's gonna look great left open over something pretty with skinny jeans and heels this summer. I've been pouncing on the letterbox every morning since I paid for it in hopes that it's arrived!
Love the fur jacket, too heavy for the weather now, but it'll be great once winter rolls around again.
Sequined jacket for those sparkly nights out with my girls, and a large vintage glomesh bag when you really want to amp it up! An oversized, studded leather clutch to toughen up a pretty girly outfit now that all the fashion is back to floaty, floral see-through tops with tanks.
Oh eBay, someone needs to change my password, I have no self control!

HOME ON A FRIDAY NIGHT

2011-10-07T05:33:00.000-07:00

I've never seen Dirty Dancing. I know, I'm shocked too.

Here's my hanging space BEFORE I've set up the other one. See that mound of clothes there on the right? Under that is a rocking chair that I haven't seen in about a year. Fuck.

I forgot to take some photos of me setting that up, I was busy swearing and throwing tantrums over it instead.

Clothes, clothes, clothes for an upcoming OOTD post. Finally.

Also, today is a year since I got my missing kitty back ♥♥♥♥

FACEBOOK

2011-03-08T07:31:00.000-08:00

Seriously, I don't even remember WHY I have Facebook anymore.

There is no reason to ask anyone about anything anymore. Pretty much if you have to ask someone about their weekend/day/whatever then you've been to lazy to read their status. Things are just weird and impersonal, and that's reason enough to delete it.

I had an incident with a colleague where I innocently posted on their wall a few days ago. Tonight; three missed calls, 4 texts and a voice message awaited me on my first break at work, and that was just from him. Wifey saw the post and went off. She'd sent something slightly nasty over facebook and deleted me from his friends list. How old are you lady? 13? Now if only she knew the shit he'd sent me over the years I highly doubt I would be the one in trouble.
I'm bored of these stupid politics and Facebook etiquette. I don't want to be tiptoeing about the interwebs just because someone has a jealous wife or whatever the stupid reason is. IT'S THE FUCKING INTERNET, WHY DON'T YOU FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT?

So. I'm deactivating my account as of 12pm tomorrow for a week.

Let's see how long this lasts.....

Hey everyone, I've deleted most of my posts in order to start again. I accidentally fucked up the photos on the weekend (I'm a twat) and in the next post you can read about my list of "changes" around here! Exciting things planned, so keep watching 99strokes, things are about to get interesting.

MAKEUP IN MELBOURNE

2011-03-04T21:41:00.000-08:00

Too Faced "Natural Eye" collection
Prestiege Total Intensity eyeliner in "Fearless Teal"
Becca Eye Tint in "Baroque"
Becca Lip and Cheek Tint in "Watermelon"
Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat #1
Elizabeth Arden Lip-Fix Cream
Benefit BrowZings in "Medium"
Becca Line and Pore Corrector
Becca Mineral SPF30 Primer
Yves Saint Laurent "Belle D'Opium"
Gucci "Flora"

Apparently I've had a really good time in DJ's :) The Too Faced palette is completely divine, I wish I'd bought the "Romance" one as well now, and the new Opium is TO DIE FOR. It's just Wow! So many comments on it already. Also finally got my mitts on the Prestiege eyeliner I've been lusting after! Why do no Priceline stores ever have it in stock? Now I know the answer.. it's AMAZING. I use this colour as a substitute for black on my inner rim, just to give my smokey eye a bit of zing. Works a treat, every time!
