ME WANT CLOGS

20 Jun

So I had a bit more of a play with polyvore today. It would be quite good for when I am thinking of buying, oh say.. these awesome black clogs that are a clear Chanel rip off – and then trying to figure out what the hell they would even go with. I suppose it’s more of a summer thing? I don’t know if wooden heels would do so well in the winter. What, with all the rain and all.

Honestly, I need to be convinced. I am about to press “checkout” and own a pair of these babies. But I can’t, can I? Oh no, I suppose I should just wait. I’m sure H&M has some rip offs of these rip offs.

Cheer Up Keanu Day and more!

A simple Reddit thread about these here Keanu Reeves photos has exploded into another meme. Apparently, there are many MANY stories about Keanu Reeves buying people motorcycles, hanging out with movie crews, helping jumpstart a broken down car .. it makes me think about much this poor guy got a bad rap before. These meme’s are usually making fun of someone. You know, like David Hasselhof and Chuck Norris. Rick Roll dude. Tom Selleck (who is getting much love in the iiOffice). I mean for sure, this meme is making fun of this sad-looking photo of Keanu eating a sandwich which has since spawned sadkeanu.com. But it’s also spawned thankyoukeanu.com because he’s such a standup guy – according to all the stories about him. I mean… honestly very weird but entertaining at the same time.

When I think of it, I would look that way too if all I wanted was to eat a damn sandwich and people were taking my picture. I hate it when people watch me when I eat. Which is why I’d prefer to be alone. Maybe not quite in a toilet. But not really eating in front of people. This does wonders for me in social situations.

it’s beginning to FEEL a lot like Christmas

14 Aug

My family used to go ALL out for Christmas. Ever since I was born, I would always look forward to lots of presents from them and the rest of my family. I was spoiled, yes. But before you think my family are a bunch of bible bashers – we’re not. We just buy into the American style Christmas – all about gifts, nothing about Jesus. Just the way we like it.

Knowing that I had a lot to look forward to on Christmas day, I used to get so excited that I basically couldn’t eat or sleep in the days leading up to the ceremonial gift giving. Or sometimes I would eat so much because the feeling in my stomach felt like hunger – but I couldn’t tell.

Anyone close to me will tell you that I have wanted an iPhone since they came out. I am not an Apple fangirl. I’m not one of those douchebags who are like, “Ooh Windows sucks! Apple is the best! LOLZZ!!”. No. Windows does suck. But so does Apple. ALL computers suck. But. BUT. I love the look, functionality and style of the iphone. Most of all, I loved that I could have my ipod and a phone in one. Perfect.

Every time I have went to get one, it’s almost as though it has been snatched away from me. Or maybe I have just bought too many clothes. Either way, I have just never been able to get my hands on one. On Tuesday I thought – fuck it – here I go, I’m gonna get one. And I did. And then I thought – I have to WAIT until Friday to get it. What an anti-climax.

I had this weird feeling of not being able to sleep, either not eating or eating too much, feeling as though there were a thousand butterflies in my stomach, all ready to burst out. And I stopped. What was this feeling I was experiencing? I hadn’t experienced it since… Christmas ..when I was a little girl. My god. It felt as though it was Christmas, sometime between 1989 to 1994. What. The Fuck.

See, I’m old now. And I just do not get that excited about anything anymore. Not even my own birthday. Not EVEN Slayer and Megadeth on the same bill (I know – shame!). I’m excited about an inanimate object that will serve me no real purpose, other than to make a phone call. How worrying.
