i'm currently resisting the urge to do something like this to my hair. my friend sophie has a sidecut a bit like mine and when her hair was blonde she dyed the shaved part slush puppy blue. it was ace. by resisting it's important to note that i mean i don't really plan on resisting at all, just tweaking the idea a little.

"this is an emergency, you're not you anymore and i don't feel like me."

i was in dublin, briefly, this week. it was fantastic fun and i wish i never had to leave. i'd like to say "photos to come" but that would be a massive lie as i was far too drunk and far too distracted to even remember i had my camera, save for a ew pictures of a cat and me eating my weight in food.

today i got anooother injection. my last for a few months though, yay. i will not miss that dreaded sore arm feeling. though this one has been less painful than the others so here's hoping it stays that way.

i'm going to southampton next weekend but i want to be there NOW.

i'm thinking of (dash probably definitely going to be) dyeing my hair orange. like, bright orange. like, fifth element orange. like, this-

...probably even orange-y-er actually. it is an obsession. and one of those things i think i just need to get out of my system. and yes, everybody seems to think i am insane. i just want to have it already. i saw a little kid in town this week in skinny jeans, a knitted baby pink jumper with a snowflake on it, a black parka and bright orange hair (natural!! bitch!!...okay she was like six...but jealousy ahoy.) the same length as mine. i think she is my current muse/style icon.

upon rereading, this is a post full of impatience. you wouldn't think i had a zillion things to do for uni before my life as i plan it can actually begin.

i'llwrapyouroundmyfingerwhileyouhavemebythethroat...

...yr still a heartbreaker and i'm just an idiot.




housemate's jumper, topshop vest, nanny's belt, h+m skirt, primark shoes.

yeh so i still have that aversion to looking at the camera and tend to awkwardly attempt to fix my hair mid shot. :]
i've been ill, but got convinced/coerced into going out tonight...which i can't really complain about cos i did have fun miscellaneous banter with people i hadn't seen in a while.
these pictures are just to illustrate two of the loves of my life right now.
first: this grey jumper that belongs to my male housemate (who's wardrobe is becoming my go-to zone for the cosiest and softest winter knits i've ever worn plus the most extensive scarf collection known to man). i have been wearing it for the past three days straight over all my outfits. it is just TOO comfortable and soft...like a hug. and really slouchy...i enjoy slouchy things, as i'm sure is obvious by now.
second: a black waisted cummerbund style belt my nanny gave me during the aforementioned clearout of her closet. she gave my little sister and i an absolute heap of amazing vintage belts and this is one of my favourites. i'll try to take some more detailed pictures of it tomorrow, along with some of the others.

my housemate's worklife is beginning to intertwine with the business transactions of my father!! how weird is that?? it does essentially mean i never have to pay for indian food again though, so no complaints here. :]

tonight i got called "boatwreck"...which was pleasant. but then some complete stranger girl told me she thought i looked like karen o (i think it's the new hair that does this...) and that she really like karen o and hoped i did too. which was a nice thing to hear, i think. :]

dirty mirror kissers.

i found this giant mirror sitting in the hall of my mum and dad's house. it is amazing. i want to steal it but i'm pretty sure they would notice right away due to it's absolute gargantuan size. i tried to take some picture to show how huge it really is but they just don't do it justice. aaand it has the prettiest frame ever.





also, this is one of my favourite jumpers in the world. i picked it up in a thrift shop three years ago for just five pounds!! it's so comfy and so easy. :]

i'm beat.

okay so you can't really see anything in this picture (of my little sister and i being idiots together as per) but i figured it was better than nothing. new hair new hair. it's so short...but i'm really excited about what i can do with it.

and so to bed. i had a trip to the doctor today and i have been prodded and poked and weighed and measured and injected far too much for my own liking. i just need sleeeeep now.

if i could just leave my body for one night...

...then we could be dancing, no more missing you when i'm gone
there we could be dancing, and you'd smile and say "i like this song!!"...



this is pretty much the only song i am listening to this week (well, besides the black lips and jay z...but what's new there??). it is kind of my life. it kind of makes me want to cry whilst filling me with comforting warmth simultaneously.

we have internet in the house now...how novel!!:] so that plus the fact that classes recommence this week should mean a hasty return to regular posting.

not much has been going on...i have just been getting settled in the new house, working my balls off in firetrap and being ridiculously skint. le boy went back to england on friday (yes, i am very good at putting myself in long distance relationship situations:[). he is missed. but hallowe'en isn't too far away and i have a scary amount of work to keep me occupied in the meantime.

aaand...in true "ru in hair boredom shockerrr" mode, i am getting my hurrr did tomorrow morning. my friend needs models and i'm sick of having this bird's nest in my way so i'm giving her free reign. then...i'm thinking about dyeing it orange. thoughts??

hope everyone has been keeping well!!

i have no sympathy...

...when you waste such time, you waste such time. i have no sympathy for you.






i've been helping my mum clear out her closet. it's probably the least i could do seeing as she didn't mind the sidecut incident. basically...i've been threatening to shave my head for a long time now. i told her i'd do it in stages so she could get used to it bit by bit. on sunday i asked her to help me do a sidecut. she hid the hair shears. so i took matters into my own hands (well, ella's very capable hands but you get my drift).

in the end she just did that thing where she tuts and rolls her eyes, then an hour later says "it is actually quite YOU*."

and now i have an exciting multi-coloured, fleecey, pocketed, jumper-dress thing that she hasn't worn in years but could well become my new festival/BBQ staple. the other jumper is one she just finished knitting for herself that i have yet to convince her to send my way...but i'm hoping it's only a matter of time.

sorry for the (even more) awful (than usual) photo quality but i'm working with my dad's camera, which clearly doesn't agree with me.

*i have yet to fully decide whether my parents use the word "you" in this sense with me in a derogatory way or a positive one.

"hanging on the telephone..."

okay so i shall keep you in suspense no longer. THIS is what the new hair looks like:

((please excuse my aversion for looking directly at cameras...this is the pic i took to show my boyfriend otherwise i'd never post such a close up of my face...i'm not a fan:]))

i'm getting a little more used to it now so it's not so bad as the initial shock at unwanted black hair was. i am, however, a little worried that i will have to pin my fringe back constantly as when it is down the whole look is just too much. the black is a bit all encompassing and when it is covering half my face with my hair already being so long, i look a little too emo for my own good(no offence to any emos out there...i just don't think it's a look a can work).

anywayyy...i am STILL no further in my essaying but have promised myself it will be done by thursday so that all weekend birthday fun can occur unhindered. today i was meant to finish off my christmas shopping but we decided to leave it until wednesday as everyone was just too tired. instead i bought a couple of silly little things on etsy for the boyfriend(which i can't post here in case he sees them, sadly)...all for under $20...i am a very happy panda indeed.

i officially have only five days of actual classes left before i go home...i'm getting ridiculously impatient. especially cos i want it to be saturday already do i can see my boyfriend and allie-boo NOW!!

"all i wana do is stay inside and look out the window..."

so far this weekend i have done...two and a half pages of french. oops.

but the christmas lights are onnn:


and i have done some christmas shopping and some epic amounts of eating. and cat and i watched "in her shoes" and "four weddings and a funeral" cos we were feeling especially girly last night.

and i may or may not have went for the hair dye thing. then decide i didnt like it and dye it brown again. only for it to go JET BLACK!!...not good.

my camera is fooked otherwise i would show you the hilarious pictures i have from the "three hair colours in three days" excitement.

seabear have been getting me through it though. banjoes always make me feel uber-christmassy...something to do with a cousin's christmas present when we were wee and sufjan and his many christmas albums i think.


hope everyone had an awesome...less targic hair story filled...weekend. :]

deadlines and dye??

i get bored pretty easily...because of this, i tend to change my hair cut and colour...a lot.


well i guess the point is, i'm bored at th moment. blonde is the only colour that i have never dyed my hair. i always kind of thought it was one of those things that looked great on others but just wasn't me. had you asked me five years ago if i would ever dye my hair blonde i'd have been incredibly dubious about the whole thing.

...and yet now i am curious. i am considering doing it just to see what it's like?! so basically was just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the issue?? or even other colour suggestions?? i'll probably do whatever i decide to do with it over the weekend so all thoughts apreciated asap.

i want to cut it really short too but the look i have in mind would involve it being really dark brown...and i don't feel quite ready to chop it all off(again) just yet...hence the wanting to keep it long and experiment with colour a little first.

also...i wish i could have this for breakfast every day of my life(well not quite, but almost):

but i've promised my boyfriend i won't eat any more of them without him...as long as he doesn't go for burritos without me until i get home for christmas. :]

nine days:]

happy puente everyone!!
