if someone asked me what i was dreaming for RIGHT now in my life i think i would be a bit stuck.

i sort of know where i want to be in 5 - 6 years. but for right now.. what i want to achieve as a 21 or as a 22 year old i'm at a bit of a loss. i thought am i doing what i want to be doing right now? and to be honest i rarely think about the present, more the future.

are you where you thought you would be right now? are you further ahead even in your goals and aspirations? or behind? are you okay with that?

i live in a smallish suburb i guess

but i like it.

it's about 30 - 40 min drive or train ride into the CBD, or a five minute drive to a larger shopping centre (mall).

i live 15 minutes from the beach and it's cosy and cute.




but what i love most about where i live is the local shops.

we have our own local shops (actually we have three lots of shops: a bigger lot in the main street (like lots of shops), and two smaller lots elsewhere (of about 5 shops - like corner shops and hairdressers and shiz)).

all the butcher's remember my name and they know that i am my parent's daughter. they joke around and are very nice.

everyone at my favourite cafe remember my name, and the owner always notices ANY change to my hair.

the local trinket shop owner remember my name and they know that i am my parent's daughter. she always asks who i'm buying something for, and remembers to ask if they liked it if it was a gift.

the staff at my local bank all remember my name, and that i am my mother's daughter. i am almost fairly certain they know my account number as well, as i am ALWAYS forgetting.

the owner of the local post office remembers my name and often remembers my po box number. he always says 'thanks jess' when i leave.

the (not-so-local) hairdresser that i occasionally visit (now that i often go to my friend instead) remember things like where i had my 21st, and why i was in there last.

i like community






and when it bugs me i can just go into the cbd for impersonal staff.

maybe it's creepy for some of you. but i like it.

i am very much quite possibly graduating on monday 30 november 2009

but i think i need a new colour for summer, not light brown. thoughts?

I am struggling so hard today. I have a headache and no painkillers. I am so thirsty. I need water and I have not yet had a coffee. My stomach isn't sensitive but it's not happy either.

And my right ear is blocked.

Wah

i was talking to someone at my cousin's wedding reception today. she was totally awesome and very cool and spoke about how her and her awesome crafty shiz things she does [insert vagueness here] has been featured in the newspaper before.

the following... followed.

me: "ohhh so you're REAL famous"
her: graciously "uh yeah i guess i am" or something to that affect. omfg jebmemory ftl
me: "i'm not famous. i'm fake famous"

[random interlude including some reference to threadless]

me: "i'm famous on threadless"








i realise just now i have drunkenly said i am famous on the internet. fml

i don't even consider myself famous on threadless, i mean wtf?

not to mention who says that?

this is what happens when you do not eat, dehydrate in the heat, and drink champagne. don't do it kids.

and goodnight

my glasses are not particularly nerdish at all. but i get so used to my contacts that my glasses feel clunky and feel very obvious...

lately i have taken to wearing my contacts for as much as possible, but i need to give my eyes a rest from the contacts every now and then and so i need to wear my glasses. when i put them on they feel like such a barrier. i am used to forgeting they are even there, but nowadays i am more than aware of their presence on my face.

i am wearing my glasses.

i feel totally nerdish right now.

zoink.
