Since my last entry, I got my dresses from Kris. They're amazing. I love them so so much. I'll try to take some pictures for you Erica :D haha
I've been a busy little bee making my handmade purses, bags, creatures, etc. And some jewellery. Mum and I went up to the Sydney Trade Show last weekend, and i picked up a whole heap of new beads and jewellery making supplies. Tonight I made a few bracelets, earrings and necklaces - which are up for sale on my myspace.com/marielladesigns
A made a cute bow range, which is great for formals! Which are coming up in the next month or so for all you school goers.

My hairs grown a little bit, I have gotten used to it now, but seeing as I am doing hair extensions for girls in the shoalhaven, I should have some in my hair! So next week, I will have longish hair again - getting them layered this time so they aren't the one length. I WILL post pics once I get it done.

kris is buying me $280 worth of amazing summer dresses. We may have our fights, and we may hate each other a lot but he knows the way to my heart and how to make up for all the bad things. The dresses are amazing, so nice for summer. I love him so much for this! <3

Would you donate a kidney or bone marrow to a stranger?

Yes, I'm an organ donar (I decided when I went for my license). I ticked everything except my eyes and my skin.
On a different note, my wanker of a father told me my haircut makes me look like a boy and that i need to put my hair extensions back. So, all day I have been utterly depressed and cursing my haircut. There may be 5 minutes out of 24hrs that I think "hey, it looks cute" and the rest of the time if I catch my reflection, I sigh and walk away. It's not that I hate the haircut, it's nice. I more hate the dicky, uneven short fringe she gave me. And I am a very impatient person, I want it to grow, grow, grow, now, now, now! But, there are 20 days until I have to go anywhere important, so until then, I'll be sitting in my room, drinking tea and hiding under my blankets with a beanie on my head <3

Have you ever had your feelings hurt by an animal?

Bella (my sausage dog) constantly hurts my feelings. She's a very stubborn, very rude dog at times. When I sit with her on the lounge, she gets up almost immediately and goes and sits with my father and looks at me the entire time as if to say 'am i hurting your feelings mum, look! look! i'm sitting with someone else, haha'. It isn't nice. When you talk to her, she raises one eyebrow and makes you look like a fool. If you ask her for a kiss on the cheek she won't do it and then when mum comes over she gives mum so many kisses it's ridiculous.

Yes, I have had my feelings hurt by an anaimal many times - just goes to prove, my life revolves too much around my little sausage dog. haha.

On a happier note! I got my hair cut! They cut my fringe a tad too short for my liking, but my fringe grows quickly, so it wont be long until it's back to how i like it. photos tomorrow. xxox

off with her head !

2009-08-19T09:54:44Z

Thinking of cutting my hair short (taking out extensions/keeping my fringe straight).

With a straight fringe, probably a bit longer then chin length. I like the concave look (a bit longer a the sides/front then the back). but not sure. I am scared I guess, that i might look like a boy or hate it. But then again, If I hate it, I can always put my extensions back in (Y).

Opinions?

They suck! My head hurts so bad and I have taken panadol, it just needs to work faster! My new phone (i ordered myself a nokia n97 - preeetttttty) should arrive tomorrow or the next day, so excited for that.

Sasha and Karma attacked a kangaroo this afternoon. I was appalled. They are locked outside tonight in the cold, I'm not even letting them on the verandah. Karma copped a huge gouge in the her chest from the kangaroos claws - I'm not a total bitch, i cleaned it all up and am taking her to the vet tomorrow when I take Sasha to be desexed. But they deserve their punishment. The kangaroo wasn't harmed very badly, I got there in time to get them away. It took the poor little thing all day to get over it and hop away though...

Annnyways, my head is killing me and the dog making high pitched crying noises at mum because she wants some of her cuppa, isn't helping. Seriously, this dog is a tea addict! Everytime the jug boils, the dog gets all highly strung and starts following whomever boiled the jug around. Once she sees the tea cup, it's goodbye silence. She whimpers and whines and if you don't save her a bit in the bottom of the cup, she will shoot you dirty looks for the rest of the night. ha.

Oh, and Happy Birthday David, the big 20.

We live on a mountain
Right at the top
There's a beautiful view
From the top of the mountain
Every morning I walk towards the edge
And throw little things off
Like:
Car parts, bottles and cutler
Or whatever I find lying around?
It's become a habit
A way
To start the day?
I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you

It's early morning
No one is awake
I'm back at my cliff
Still throwing things off
I listen to the sounds they make
On their way down
I follow with my eyes 'til they crash
Imagine what my body would sound like
Slamming against those rocks

When it lands
Will my eyes
Be closed or open?

I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you

Birds can fly so high...

My first few days and nights in Brisbane have been full of bus hopping, kisses on the cheek, hugs, and laughter. And then the more intimate things, like tingling kisses and nights spent awake with a loved one, talking and laughing and being close. I must say, I am happy where I am right now. Even though there are things I would want to change, I am happy. I love being surrounded by people who love me, by people who make me laugh and smile until my face starts to hurt. I love being told how good I look, or how desirable I am. It's always nice to hear such things, after such a long time without it. On the sixth, I caught the bus up to the sunshine coast to see my lovely Cindy. We spent a few hours shopping, talking, laughing and just catching up. I have never taken notice of just how much I depend on her friendship to get me through the rough times, the blue times and even the most happiest of times. I don't think many people realise just how amazing Cynthia Griffen actually is. Deep down, there is the most sweetest, most caring friend, and I don't think many of you take the time to get to know her. Most of you judge her, and that's a blow to you, not to her. I had the best day catching up with her and laughing; It felt like a friendship should feel.

Wednesday, I am seeing Danni and Amelia, Thursday, Tornii.

I love where I am right now.

Do you still use a landline at home, or do you rely completely on your cell phone?

We have a home phone, but usually i use my mobile. Some days I use the home phone, spesh to call work and ring up to book things or pay over the phone, its more reliable then my mobile, just so it doesn't cut out half way through :)

Brisbane tomorrow !! :D

I still haven't packet my suitcase, and I only have tomorrow left! I have all accessories and toiletries packed and ready, but outfits - that's the hard part. I always fear, when ever I am packing to stay over someones house, or travel, that I will leave something I need behind. So, I often over-pack, or fret so much about actually packing that I end up packing multiples. But tomorrow everything will come together and I will be ready to jet off to Brisbane for a few weeks holidays.

Plastic Surgery, The Only Security.

2009-05-13T11:10:21Z

Hold your own, know your name, go your own way.

I’m really into mini dresses as of late. I absolutely love mini dresses over tights for the colder months. And a good pair of cute ankle boots. Which reminds me, I really should go shopping for a pair next time I have the chance. I am really looking forward to doing some shopping while I am in Brisbane later this month. However, I do love Sydney’s shopping (and I am one of those people who think Sydney shopping is better than Brisbane shopping) but I just need a change of scenery. I also want to duck up to the mall one day when I am doing a hospital visit, really want to pick up some deep red hair dye to mix in with my chocolate brown (to make a nice warm autumn glow).

I cannot comprehend how fast time goes sometimes. This morning I went onto Facebook to check any messages/comments regarding my brother and Danni had on her status that her beautiful daughter Amelia-Ruby turns 5months old today. I can’t believe time has gone so quickly. It seems like only weeks ago that I was talking to Danni about her pregnancy and that I bet she can’t wait to give birth and hold her little girl in her arms. And now she’s been holding her in her arms for five whole months! I can’t wait to see them both later this month.

Dave (my brother) went into surgery this morning. Mum called at 3pm and he was still in there. From what I’ve heard, it’s a fairly complicated surgery. It’s not just a shoulder reconstruction, they actually have to go in and piece his shoulder back together, make him a new one from what they have. At first they wanted to put in a plastic shoulder head, but no one wanted to do that because he is only 21 and with a plastic shoulder head he wouldn’t have full use of his shoulder/arm again. So, once mum calls and tells us how the surgery went, I will have some more information to update with.

I will leave you with a lovely photography by William Wegman to end this post.

*Note; Mum called, Daves surgery was complicated but they fixed his shoulder, he lost 1.5ltres of blood and it took over five hours to do, he seemed really happy and relieved when I talked to him on the phone :)

No You Girls

2009-05-11T09:11:40Z

People are so easily broken. Everyones asking if i'm okay and I think it's so silly. Paul told me it's because something like this can emotionally hurt a person but that's not the case with me. Him before me. I went to see my brother today, he didn't look so bad. His left shoulder is shattered into five peices, and he broke the top section (above the elbow) of his arm, they were the wrost inuries. I think they also said he broke his collar bone and a bone behind his ribs?. His back and neck are fractured and he has to wear braces for them to heal themselves. Tomorrow he is having his shoulder operated on and pieced back together, so mum and dad are going to go see him after that happens. I'll go up to see him next time and bring him some home made goodies to make his cubicle look more homely. The doctors said 6-8 weeks recovery, for his operation its about 4-6 weeks. So, after tomorrow it's all up hill. The neck and body brace look a tad uncomfortable, but he must do as the doctors say forhis bones to heal as quickly as possible. They reckon he can come home in a week and do home care, which he will love because one day in the hospital and he hates it already. I don't blame him. It's cold, unhomely, and he has a noisy neighbour in the next bed who snores.

Dani and mum have been there for him the most keeping him company and helping him with tasks. He and Dani are still fighting but I know he really appreciates her being there. She's just got to look after herself as well as him. You can tell she really cares about him. She's a good girl.

I will keep you updated. Love you brother.

prevent this tragedy

2009-05-10T07:33:13Z

My brother crashed his motorbike. Fractured a bone in his neck, fractured three bones in his back, broke his colarbone, broke his arm, there is a random floating bone somewhere and if he moves the wrong way it could sever his spinal cord.

And all the dickhead is worried about is ruining mothers day. God, he could have died! He's getting airlifted to a city hospital in thirty minutes and mums staying with him until she has to leave. He's going to be in hospital for a while. Is getting a neck brace and back brace to stop that floating bone and they operate on his broken arm tomorrow.

They don't want to operate on his spine. Neither do i.

I love you, brother. Please be good and listen to the doctors.

Dead and Gone

2009-05-06T09:39:57Z

Hello fellow bloggers,

I have sort of let this blog die, which is unfortunate, I should try to revive you livejournal. I am also thinking of starting up a blogspot account, I had one a long time ago. I will keep you updated.

To start off this update, I will post a booklist;

Books currently read/reading;

· Vampire Academy Books 1, 2, 3; I surprisingly enjoyed this series, it even made me a little teary towards the end. And the 4^th book comes out in August, which I am patiently awaiting, I can’t wait to see what happens between Rose and Dimitri.

· Gone by Michael Grant; my mum bought me this book because she thought it sounded interesting, for those who haven’t heard of it, it is about a town where everyone over the age of 15 disappears, the kids in the town are there all alone and some of them are gaining weird powers, like one of the main characters can shoot lasers from his hands and another is ridiculously strong and another can be in one room and blink and then be in a different room. Coyotes have found a demon in a cave which they obey and it gave them the ability to speak to humans. Another girl can heal herself and heal others. I found it to be a really interesting book, and there is a sequel coming out in April 2010 called ‘Hunger’

· Tomorrow Series By John Marsden; I have loved this series ever since the first time I read it in high school and just recently decided to read it again. Also the ‘Ellie Chronicles’ is really great.

· The Sookie Stackhouse (southern vampires) series, again I am a HUGE fan of this series and am waiting for the 9^th book to arrive in the mail. Also the 10^th is so be released next year I am informed

· Anita Blake series; there is nothing like another vampire series to grasp my attention. :)

· Sookie Stackhouse series sub-novels :)

Books currently awaiting release;

· Vampire Academy 4; “Blood Promise”

· Evernight 2; “stargazer”

· The Hunger Games 2

· Hunger: buy Michael Grant

In a few weeks I’m finally making my trip up to QLD for a week or two to see the lovely Danni and Amelia and spend some time with Kris and a few other friends. When I get back I get to move into my new room, I need to buy some furniture though, maybe a nice lounge, some nice bedding, a wall sticker or two to dress it up a bit. The beginning of this week, I went into the city and bought some nice new winter clothes, what I really want is a cute black leather look jacket.

Mums (well, I have for her) opened up an online store for her business;

www.myspace.com/thingamabobsonline

www.thingamabobsplace.com

I really hope it takes off for her, we have some really good stock and it’s reasonably priced, cheaper then websites like freez.com and all that. So hopefully it takes off for her. Fingers crossed.

Mum and dad are going away for a week just after mothers day, I will be home alone for that week, I’m pretty excited about it, I get to clean out my new room and pack some things up and eat as much ice cream as I like lol.

Out of all of your favorite books, pick just one you'd recommend everyone read. As a bonus: why did you pick that one?

View 504 Answers

I have two; Tuesdays with Morrie and The Time Traveller's Wife.
Both books made me cry. Both books are incredibly amazing stories.

Speaking about books, mum got me the Vampire Academy Series by Richelle Mead. And the series is actually good. I actually like it and haven't been able to stop reading. I'm on the final book now, the fourth one comes out at the end of this year. I wasn't expecting much, so it was a nice suprise to find I am actually enjoying the series. :) Thanks mum <3
