arms.

things i am looking forward to (a lot):



1. the convict comes home in nine days:] this makes me ridiculously happy. i'm on my dad's laptop cos i'm t home and i was looking through all my old photos and suddenly realised that this is the first photo i ever took of him (right hand side, in odd "staring at crotch/floor" pose), not the one i had previously thought. it's at a party about a year and a half ago and i remember we called him the convict cos of his shaved head. do you ever see things like this and find it hard to believe that the person in the photo and the person you know now are actually one and the same??

2. PAVEMENT!! or, hopefully pavement, in may!! they're playing a gig in dublin in may and my bfff is going to try to get us tickets as my birthday present. imagine how close to complete my life would be if i got to see pavement live??...and buy a tee shirt??

yeh, that's right; i used a photograph of a piece of pavement with reference to the band. cos i had it on my laptop...and i imagine the experience of seeing pavement play live would be as exciting as this photograph is to look at (for me anyway). so sue me. :]

i don't care...

...how absolutely mental lady gaga is. and i don't give a fuck that she is completely dead behind the eyes. the woman is an absolute machine.



...a machine with LILAC LIPS!! she makes me want to dye my hair blonde (oh wait...already tried that, worst 48 hours of my life...i remember now) and put lilac streaks in it. and wear lilac lipstick...as if my obsession with unnatural lip colours wasn't already verging on worrisome.

this is one of the few issues in life where my boyfriend doesn't concur. the only other i can think of is our very differing opinions on the influence of the glamrock movement on the origins of 80s metal and the true definition of "punk" as a concept and/or lifestyle.

he doesn't know what he's missing. :]

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!!

new things.

ive been talking about "exciting impending events" for a ridiculously long time now. so in short...here are few new occurrences (one slightly unexpected) to keep everyone up to speed...


new house...with a bitchin' blue wall in the back yard...for which my mother has promised to give me one of her 12 foot tall sunflowers!!:] we're currently trying to get the place in order to whatever extent our highly impoverished selves can afford...so maybe i'll do a little post about the place once it feels ready.


new (dash kind of old if anyone picks up on previous posts he's featured in) boy shaped thing. he likes the dismemberment plan and my sidecut. he aiiite. :]



new project that i am contributing to. it's a belfast/northern ireland music blog-meets-zine type thing. i'm really excited for this cos it has loads of potential. it is still in the early stages but that just seems to make it more fun to be involved in. check it out if yr in any way musically inclined cos it covers a lot of stuff such as live reviews for touring bands etc etc etc.:
tracemagazine.wordpress.com.

i'll put a link up to the side anyway.

and fiiinally...i can reveal that there are new musical aspiration based things taking place as well. but no more about that until i have more to share. oop!!:]

last but not least...it is my little sister's seventeenth birthday on sunday. i can't believe she is seventeen...unreal!! but i also can't believe how little money i have at such a crucial time of the year. i have promised to buy her an N*E*R*D tee shirt when i am at pukkelpop in a few weekends time...but any suggestions as per nice (but ridiculously cheap, or preferably, FREE) small gifts i could give dash make for her on the day would be highly appreciated.

happy weekending!!

back in action...

this is the black flag tee shirt i mentioned in my last post. or at least i think it is...the one i am getting may be black, which is fine...though i reckon i'd prefer white what with my continuing anti-darks summer kick.



in other news, aforementioned glaswegian friend is an actual genius. i left the country for five days and came back to a completely fixed laptop free of charge. i owe him too many shots.

lyon was amazing. photos will be posted soon. right now i'm attempting to write my last ever essay for spanish university so i can head out tonight. pretty emotional stuff.

i'm so clever, oh but clever ain't wise...

zara dress, jonathan aston tights, babyshambles tee shirt (attacked with scissors), primark mens cardigan (stolen from gavin).

i've literally just had one of the best weeks ever!! from days spent reading and lying in the sun at the harbour, burritos and coffee dates with my dad, mountain walks and breakfasts/lunches with my mum, wee nights out dancing and watching a friend's band, nights in with my boos, a birthday cake and chill out time in the park and a pin-up themed fancy dress party...all in all, a ridiculous amount of fun!!

i'll put up a few photos as soon as i get the chance...but for now i'm going to make some hot chocolate and curl up in bed with a book...as this is my first chance to get an early(-ish) night since last wednesday!! also...i figured i'd post a quick outfit. i got the babysambles tee shirt two or three years ago at a gig but haven't worn it in ages...so i decided to cut it into a shape i might wear a bit more often. i had to put the little fabric star over the "u" to clam my mum down when i first got it, hee. :] the world may disagree, but i think pete doherty is amazing!!

pink bullets...

last night's outfit...h+m shirt, primark shorts, tesco tights.
okay so i broke my own plaid ban...but just this once...and only because i was at a loss for what to wear when i have so many nights out to attend this week.

today i skipped class for the first time this semester and stayed in bed because my head hurt (free of charge or not- whiskey, tia maria and vodka is not a friendly drink) and i was not in a happy place. i'm skipping the asian buffet tonight also (sad face) for some down time...such a sham.

sometimes when i feel strange and not myself and pointless all it takes is a text with a song name in it to remind me of who i am again. <3

"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. :]

i am a five year old boy at heart.

please forgive the terrible quality of this photo and the terrible rushed post but today has been filled with running a million errands. i feel like my feet are only touching the ground now and it is half past midnight.

unfortunately, after making up and breaking down and recompiling several to-do lists, i am only now realising just how much work and other stuff i have to do within the next two weeks. eek. hence the hi-tops and oversized shirt combo today:] for me, menswear=instant comfort whilst still looking a little different.

i love this teeshirt...i love iggy and the stooges...i wish i had iggy pop's energy just over the next few weeks. i bet he would get everything on my lists done and still feel wound up enough to party every night!!


teeshirt-iggy and the stooges gig, vest-primark, jeans-topshop, shoes-primark.

i...on the other hand, just feel like crawling into bed. espcially tonight because today i picked up the most awesome kid's comforter blanket thing on sale for 6€!! i must have been channelling my inner boy all day, between this and the outfit...but nonetheless i am a massive comicbook geek so couldn't pass up the amazing spiderman(or "speederman" as the spanish pronounce it...which always makes me laugh...more cos it's cute than that i'm trying to insult anyone). aaand, it is pretty much the softest material ever!!


yes, yes there is a heffalump in my bed:] and can you tell i miss my friends from home?? ha.

anyway...i'm off to make some hot chocolate and watch some gilmore girls before sleep(ah...i'm a girl after all!!).

thanks again for the really sweet comments...it's totally unexpected and a real boost!!

you know i dreamed about you...

look what arrived in the mail today:]...


i have a bit of an obsession with childish transfer tattoos(despite being far too indecisive of what i could ever get as a real tattoo...or maybe due to it??) and have wanted this one ever since i first saw it on etsy. it is by an amazing illustrator//artist called julia pott who is also the genius behind the beautiful video for the new casiotone for the painfully alone single. anyway, last week i finally decided that my birthday was the perfect excuse to buy it. so in a couple of weeks it will adorn my arm as i dance all night in madrid(and hopefully last until my second party at home??). for now, it is stuck up on my wall(i think i will be quite sad when it is gone). i mean really...how awesome is it??

oh...and julia also wins a prize for this brilliant stamp:

today i slept in and missed my first class...oops!! looks like the weekend is finally catching up on me. i think i might have to ignore my ridiculously long to-do list for just one day and get an early night.


jumper-primark, vest-topshop, skirt-h&m, tights-primark, shoes-converse.

now i'm off to make a pb+j for dinner...beyond lazy!!
