Die Antwoord – Fatty Boom Boom

February is insane, apparently. I mean, summer is ending up here and I’ve definitely been making the most of it. From pub crawls leading to seeing The Drums DJ with a collection of beautiful Swedish blokes, to finally seeing Tiffany after her trip to Hong Kong, to coffee with new and old friends, to one of the most enjoyable nights out celebrating Garrett’s birthday I’ve had in a while, it’s fair to say I’ve been substantially busy.

It’s been bitter sweet though – on Saturday Chrystal, Michelle and Lilli are leaving to move for university. I mean they are some of my closest friends, and they’re moving 4 hours away. Monday we had a bit of a gathering to farewell them, but I don’t know, just doesn’t feel enough. Bit of sad times right now, hey.

Ah well, at least the new Die Antwoord album rules. And I have a few more fun things lined up – lots of uni stuff to organise. BLAH.

Keep on movin’ – Five

Hi, my name is Jess and I change my hair very frequently.

The past week has been rather busy. Saw Sherlock Holmes on Monday with Samantha, and rather loved it. Saw Clinton that night too which I hadn’t since… before November, actually. Coffee with Sophia Tuesday, living at Chrystal’s for the rest of the week. She did my hair on Thursday (she’s been my hairdresser for AGES now), and that night went out to celebrate Jess’ birthday with a bunch of people I hadn’t seen for so long – Michael, Nick, Adrian and Max (aswell as the usual gang). Friday night Jess had a proper dinner celebration thing with ~the girls~, drinking really badly made cocktails right out of the mixer.

Saturday night – where the majority of these photos are from – was Bec’s 18th. It was a decent house party, save the shit from a whole bunch of drunk teens. Came home covered in mud and suddenly best friends with people I thought didn’t know who I was. Bit cute.

God this post screams 90210 drama. At least it’s not Baywatch drama – which is my new favourite show.

Ohhhh summer holidays.

3 Doors Down – Kryptonite

Friday has been the most busy day anyone could imagine. A 7am wakeup to make a 9am barista course – I am now an internationally recognised barista, so watch out – to rush to a 5:30 early dinner to farewell my friend Cynthia (second photo with karate headband) before she left for university – she moved from Sydney today. It was actually a really nice dinner, with a bunch of people from highschool I never really hung out with besides at school. The cocktails were lovely too.

The night ended at my friend Sarah’s 18th. Haven’t been to a house party in a while so that was ace. Also has been the first week all year I haven’t gone out “clubbing” too, it’s been a rare thing, so that night made up for the boring week.

Who would believe things all of a sudden have gotten so busy? Next week is full on. Oh well. One month left until university, best enjoy it.

Florence and the Machine – Only if for A Night

Things are busy. I am a few days and a few modifications off finishing my final major project on my father’s home business’ website, meaning I’ll get to stop working for him. This makes me happier than anything. Sooner or later I’ll need a proper job but MAN this is good news. I have also been accepted into University. I’ll be going to the University of Technology (Sydney), to study a bachelor in Interior and Spatial Design. Excited as hell. I got my first preference at the university I’ve wanted to be at since I was 12. I have friends in that course too so I’m excited.

What else? Been going out, the above photos are from Friday night. I’ve cut my hair too, again. Clearly I need to fix my roots but I’m avoiding further damaging my hair from all the times I dyed it last year.

I’m also getting back into sketching, and hope to get a few online sooner or later. My current trend thing is so mash-up old sketches so who knows. Might get a little collection going.

Exciting life and times.

Count your Bruises – The Flatliners

That is probably one of the best songs I’ve been listening to lately. SO good.

How have we been passing the time leading into the new year? Work, a lot (working for your Dad isn’t nearly as fun as you’d hope it would be). Or going out every odd night and meeting everyone named Luke Wilson in Sydney (I met two, at the same bar, exactly a week apart. It’s just weird). Or watching American Horror Story well into the night.

Or going on cute outings with Chrystal. We went to the markets this weekend and she bought me the most beautiful (faux) fur jacket as a belated birthday gift. The amount of jokes about me looking like a polar bear in it and thus part of Polar Bear Club… I’m a menace. But its gorgeous. Nothing gets better than fur in the summer, accompanied by vegan nachos and apple and mint frappes. I’ve hoarded a lot of fun clothes over the past few weeks so I’ll have to do a post all about that, too. So many gems.

This new year is being wonderful so far. They say this is the best summer of your life (post high school graduation, just before university claims my soul) and to be honest, it really is.
