by...
1. eating entire packets of (brown and multigrain) (!!!!!) rice biscuits
2. Browsing about 50 different tumblr blogs of Melbourne artists & downloading all the links they upload of their favourite songs.
3. Feeling inadequate because I suck at making links, I don't have a lastfm account (made one today! Wow, the things I do when I'm 'studying'), I'm not creative, my hair isn't long, my roots are gonna take absolutley fucking ages to grow out, I don't know enough cool music, I will never have the time to listen to everything I've downloaded anyway, I don't live in Collingwood/am waaay too comfortable with living off my parents, will never have enough willpower to turn down processed food, have already used up my credit card limit so can't download anything new off bandcamp, am too lazy to browse through 55,000 new clothes on etsy...oh well. I do, at least, have a keepcup for when I buy take-away coffee?
4. Spending 45 minutes trying to open the packaging for my new Megastick Fanfare cd that came in the mail - until I found the scissors (fail)
5. Restarting my computer fifteen billion times & re-naming my essays to: 'SWM5421: Assignment 2 (Autosaved)'
6. Listening to my old Aloha cd.
7. Actually going for a walk! And not being waaaay too cold in 3/4 leggings.
8. Wearing my tracksuit pants the wrong-way-round, and not realising for three hours.
9. Yelling at my Dad - he dared to eat the last Berry Bliss flavoured yoghurt!!! I am extremely pissed off. I swear to GOD it was the last Ski D'Light Berry Bliss flavoured yoghurt in the whole of Melbourne. I forced myself to have the strawberry last night because I wanted to save the Berry for tonight (best till last, you know), and now its GONE. Devastated. Dad thought his was hilarious :(
10. If you haven't guessed, avoiding my assignment. Ignorance can be bliss.

the perks of being a wallflower
OMG. I just found out (via celebritygossip.net, don't judge me) that there's a movie being made about the book 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' (I'd read this book not long before I started this blog). I am so excited because
1. Admittedly it's been ages since I read the book & I can't really remember it. All I do remember is reading it in one sitting in the RMIT City library one evening & really, really enjoying it.
2. Emma Watson (from the Harry Potter series) is in it!!! Wow.
3. It's being directed or whatever by Stephen Chbosky, who wrote the book. So at least it's not gonna get totally ruined.
4. Obviously all the book & music references in the novel, will they come to life?
yeah yeah I'm procrastinating BYE

essay stalling
My community engagement essay/report is coming along reasonably well considering it's not even 2pm, I woke up at 9 (2 hours later than usual) and I've already had breakfast and lunch. 800ish words so far today, SO PRODUCTIVE! This might be to do with the fact it's basically a pretty easy descriptive sort-of report & I haven't added any references yet, but I'm feeling productive & if I finish this shit before 8:30pm I will literally be bursting with joy. Not that there's anything on tv, not that I don't have another 4000 words of another essay to write or a house to clean before my parents return from overseas tomorrow (shit) but I can sit in my happiness and be happy, right? Also, the Hills is absolutely fucking hilarious and never fails to make me feel good about myself. The City is basically the Hills with better clothes except model Ally makes me feel even fatter & also makes me nostalgic for the days when I had Whitney Port-esque legs. I should be forbidden from entering the junk food aisle of supermarkets.
Anyway, I thought I'd procrastinate some more by sharing some of those 'I wish songs played in epic moments of my life and not just in movies' moments for me in the last few days:
Driving to uni on a cold, wet, grey & miserable Thursday morning:
http://youtu.be/-CviqQkJ1Q0
To work on Thursday arvo, repeat as above but in a happier mood:
Friday:
Um, so originally I went youtube cruisin' to find Lady Gaga - Born this Way and found this:
*brought tears to my eyes. How embarrassing. How old is this kid? Jeez. So cute! The facial expressions get me every time!
[I've now watched about 5 of this girl Maria's video's and she's not THAT cute, she wasn't very good at 'Pokerface' or 'Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)' but still so adorable I hope she wins the MTV award she's up for!!!)
Friday night:
& my new favourite song (Track 4, I suck at links):
(I've wasted too much time to justify spending time copy/pasting links to share songs now. Happy Study Sunday to all my friends that read this, STOP PROCRASTINATING RIGHT NOW hahaha love xx)

1. It amazes me how I've managed to not write one word for 4 hours. Meanwhile, I think I can do another 400 by the end of tonight, as well as ABC tv, cooking dinner, shower, and Winners & Losers.
2. One thing I've been meaning to do in my procrastination is back up all my music again. I usually avoid doing this because it takes HOURS (literally), and the external hard-drive I've got needs a power-point, and because it's a dodgy cheap American-made one the charger is huge to the extent I can't fit in my laptop power-cord in the wall at the same time, so my laptop usually runs out of battery while I back up. Seeing as I've only got about 30gig left on my laptop hard-drive I'm panicking, I need to delete the multiple copies of things I've saved on my laptop so I have more space (I have an intensly rigid method of downloading music: downloaded music folder > iTunes (I convert files) so therefore have 2 copies > when can be fucked, copy downloaded copy to external hard-drive and delete downloaded copy off laptop hard-drive)
3. Also, repeat process with downloaded tv shows/movies. And then with photos. Current seasons are kept on laptop hard-drive, old seasons are usually not. If I'm particularly attached to a tv show I'll end up buying the real dvd version anyway. And it's not like I'll ever get around to actually watching it all.
4. Kettle chips are amazing. Really. I was growing tired of them, because they changed their packaging and became less fatty so they could compete with Red Rock Deli Chips but OMG they have gone back to being fatty again so they taste better. I've eaten more than 4 of the 'recommended serving size' portions of them today. Whoops. But the rest of my diet is really really healthy so its okay?
5. I hate washing machines and ironing.
6. I LOVE ducted heaters probably more than I love Kettle Chips.
7. I have waay too many electronic gadget chargers in my life.
8. Cold. So. Fucking. Cold.
9. My passport photo is ugly.
10. Only 1 hour until my music's backed up!!!

still incapable of writing paragraphs; still writing lists
1. I honestly don't think I'll get any homework done today. I fell asleep roughly 3:20am this morning & woke up at 7:45am. I can't shake the early-morning wake-up. It sucks. I feel like a zombie.
2. Being woken up at 7:16am via a text-message which meant I was late & had to be ready to walk out the door is something i never, ever want to have to deal with again. Why oh why did I turn off my alarm at 6am because it was too early when I really needed to be up? Feel so so guilty, I NEVER sleep in, I'm ALWAYS the one waiting for people, not the other-way-round.
3. Wooooooo for not being at work the day before Mother's Day.
4. Woooooo for fundraising for Caring & Living As Neighbours (CLAN) Raised a shitload of money, yaaay
5. Boo for being absolutely freezing cold the whole day, shivering, goosebumps, wobbly knees.
6. Being a p-plater and staying sober is no fun. On the other hand, sipping other people's drinks DOES NOT COUNT (alcoholic drink count wise or calorie-wise).
7. Samboy chips were probably a much healthier option than Lord of the fries. HOWEVER I was thoroughly disappointed that the vending machine didn't have Kettle original or Kettle salt & vinegar. Who actually has chives & sour cream flavoured chips? Or sweet chilli & whatever. EEEWW.
8. I hate cleaning. I don't mind the dishes because the house is FREEZING and I like warming my hands & blasting cds downstairs but yeah, generally, I HATE ANYTHING DOMESTIC.
9. However I did manage to make some pretty-fucking-awesome looking cupcakes for the fundraiser yesterday. More on this in another post, but yeah, I was pretty proud of myself. This was Friday though & I still have bowls of icing in the fridge because I couldn't be fucked to wash up/I'd already done one sink of dishes/if I left them out on the bench we'd have ants/yeah.
10. Really need to lose about 5kg or grow a money tree so I can wear my jeans/buy new ones. Maybe I should just stop eating so much? FUCK.
okay I'm going to take a dump then go back to bed. It's too early for this shit.

stress, driving & soundcloud links.
The fact I'm listening to Cat Power & depressing guitar-based stuff reflects my mood. At least I haven't got to the 'let's explore my high-school cds' and pull out Brand New or TBS or something yet.
Cat Power-Moonshiner by torsten.veblen
My motivation is pretty poor, considering I've only done 1500/10, 500 words, which has to be finished by May 23. Uni is stressing me the FUCK out, omgz totes can't wait till its over, like, omg, fml (stress has made me forget how to use proper english). I'm distracting myself at every opportunity, sleeping badly, eating badly, rarely attending to my gorgeous dog, not bothering to shower every day or pick up my clothes off the floor, forgetting what day it is & doing too many things at once but achieving nothing. What's worse, I'm reading through the SAME reviews on music blogs & stalking the same people on facebook over and over because I'm going all out to procrastinate & am I in that much of a frenzy that I can't remember what I've done? That being said I have higher expectations of myself to fit things in (i.e., socialising)...I took the sensible option of being a designated driver so I wouldn't be hungover, but, by golly, I am the SHITTEST at directions in the dark. I thought I'd be okay. I'm ashamed of the fact 18-19 year olds are just so much more, well, competent at this shit compared to me. Not knowing where I am going makes me feel confident enough to do things I NEVER do in daylight or on my own - like drive through a library carpark, go through a stop sign & do a three point turn on a main road. Yeah, i set such a good example for the red-p-plater children I drive around.
On a higher note, a big Happy Birthday(!!!!!!!) to a dear my friend today. I know you read this & will know i'm referring to you, it's the 3rd of May woooooo. Haha. Yes. Moving on now.
I think I will go power-walking now to the New Weird Australia cd I downloaded off bandcamp. Till next time folks:
Teeth & Tongue - Walls by Teeth & Tongue
(see, I told you my latest music obsessions reflect my mood)
