**I am a princess, all girls are. Even if they live in tiny old attics. Even if they dress in rags, even if they aren’t pretty or smart or young. They’re still princesses. All of us. Didn’t your father ever tell you that? Did he? He told me.**

I’ve had a good weekend. Apart from having to work saturday, I went to Roxi’s and we stayed up late talking, eating and watching Aladdin. Drinking absinthe… well, not much absinthe on my part, but still.

We also watched Whip It. Now, I’m a HUGE fan of Ellen Page. I love her. She’s quirky and freaky and a pretty good actor. She has balls, that girl, and is also TINY. (Lol.)

I’ve been begging my mum to teach me how to skate properly for ages, because I only know how to blade, and it seems far more skillful to be able to skate. (Also, I’m pretty sure she was some sort of speedskating demon/champion, which is awesome).

I’m thinking I might just start spending extra time getting my skate on. I mean, I can already skate I’m just not so good with the skates, I’m down with the blades. Plus, I need to be more active, blargh.

P.S. I need to dress more like Ellen Page ^_^

Next week though, it will be mental. Easter next weekend means fun times at work =/ But also, by thursday it will be over, and I will have the rest of Easter to do absolutely nothing but have fun at Autumn Gathering. Mum’s been busy sewing me, like, everything, and I’m working my way through my embroidery projects as fast as I can without mucking them up…

What’s goin on with chu?

Ten Things I Love This Week

Filed under: Uncategorized — by acheshirekitten @ 10:36 pm

* Blue Skies and White Clouds – after the two and a half hour journey home monday, forty minute wait for food and evening by candle light, I’ll never take electricity for granted again.

* Big couches – you frigging rock. Big, fluffy, wide, arm rests, yeah, that’s how it’s meant to be. As a side note – recliners = FTW

* Glitter – it’s getting closer to my birthday and quite honestly, there’s glitter everywhere. I’m getting so excited!

* Embroidery – I’m really enjoying the work I’ve been doing. I can’t wait to start the next project!

* Knitting – I’m considering taking it up. I already learned to crochet, not that I remember how =P but I’ve seen some really cute knits around lately and I’d love to have some cute things for winter (that no one else has). Plus, my head is like, big, so normal hats, like girl hats, only just fit my head, and for once, dammit, I’d like a knitted hat that sits comfortably!

* Movie Nights – yewwwwwwww. Popcorn, aka copporn, is the best. Any excuse.

* Silly photos. Sometimes I receive amusing photos during the day which make me laugh my ass off, and also get me in trouble with the manager because then I have to explain why I’m laughing my ass off. But still, my friends are awesome.

* Running Wiv Little Scissorz

* Working on Saturdays – Nah, I’m just shitting you.

* Easter eggs, because seriously, is there a flavour they don’t come in?

Birthdayness

Filed under: Uncategorized — by acheshirekitten @ 1:55 pm

It will soon be my birthday. Honestly I’m kind of crapping myself. I’ll be one of those real adults. You know…. 21. But I’m not going to grow up. I’ll still be as fun and immature and silly and ridiculous, because that’s just me, and I’ll mature in my own way.

Hell, the theme for my party this year is Faerie!

I went to Starfish Lane (www.starfishlane.com.au) the other night with mother, who is wonderfully doing my invitations. That place is incredible. They didn’t have as many stamps as they used to which was kind of dissapointing, but the range of paper… *drool*

Unfortunately it cost more than we had initally anticipated… and mum ended up paying for it. Let’s not talk about how much it was, but yeah… feeling incredibly guilty over here.

The new place is finally feeling comfortable… occasionally I have to go rummaging through boxes to find something I need. Took me fifteen minutes this morning to find the whisk =/ But it’s coming along, getting easier, slowly getting neccessities unpacked. Only what we need, because we’re only here for three months. Super, super inconvenient.

Holy. Crap. I’m currently watching an episode of Star Trek – Next Gen, and one of the lieutenants, one of the female lieutenants manning the transporter console, is Teri Frikking Hatcher! No way! It was then verified by Wikipedia. Teri Hatcher! LOL!

Kittin Expresses Her Views on Modern Fashion Trends

Filed under: Uncategorized — by acheshirekitten @ 1:49 pm

Why can’t we get a little Elizabethan all up in here? Or a little later, with sweet dresses and cardigans, nice pants and blazers… Brogues and victorian boots… and please, why can’t we make clothes out of materials that actually last? Shoes out of proper materials, leather/suede? None of this vinyl, pleather and synthetic shite. My shoes should last more than a month.

Why don’t people grow their hair long these days? I take such pride in long hair… It’s versatile and lovely. Not that I don’t like some of the edgy shorter cuts, but people just seem to chop it all off for no reason. Oh, my hair is annoying, it’s summer, I might hack it all off, it’ll grow back. But it won’t grow back by winter, and you’re sitting there all cold and wishing you hadn’t.

Here are some of the most disgusting awful fashion trends I’ve seen out and about lately & sarcastic comments.

* Harem Pants – Please, help me to understand. They look awful. Unless you’re actually partaking in a spot of bellydancing, it makes no sense. (Not that a belly dancer would have any inclination to buy a pair for dancing in, because they’re entirely the wrong cut to actually be real harem pants. I know – I have a pair.) I have only ever once seen them actually looking nice. It was a slightly older lady, wearing black heavily buckled cork high heels, black pants and a white singlet with a braided belt over that. Not what I would have picked, but the only time I’ve seen them looking vaguely right.

* Crocs – I simply don’t understand. Not only do they look AWFUL, they have holes in them, so are clearly not weather proof, and are made from hideous foamy crap. Why? Why?! Oh, let’s add some delightful jewels, or daisies, or PIRATE HEADS. HIDEOUS.

* BamBam hairstyles – Now I’m not saying I’ve got anything against BamBam, cause she was pretty cute. But, she had a dinosaur for a pet, and was a baby. Why, school girls, do you think it’s cool and pretty and the “in thing”, to put your hair in a blob directly on top of your head, and tie a ribbon around it? You look fucking ridiculous.

* Tiny tiny skirts – Yes, we get it, if your skirt was a centimetre higher we could actually see your anus. Why is this attractive? Because, I would really rather not stand behind you on the escalator if you’re going to flash me your ass. That CAN’T be comfortable. Ok, you’ve got legs. Nice to see them. But did we really need to see them all the way to your crotch?

* Thongs – I don’t know if this is just a me thing… but I hate thongs. I think they look awful, they place horrid strain on your feet and toes, and quite frankly, I don’t want to see your toes at all. When it comes to women wearing strappy sandals/thongs, pretty much ninety nine percent of the time they actually have nice, well groomed, un-ugly toes and toe nails. Let’s talk about men shall we? Fucking trim your toenails you disgusting specimens. You’re incredibly gross and make me want to vomit. Do men just have this irrational fear of their own toes? My boy is always immaculately groomed, (thank GOD), so it can’t be a gender wide thing… I think it all comes down to one thing – if you have awful toes/toenails, then you shouldn’t be allowed to wear open shoes, like, by law.

* Beanies – Ugliest Hats Ever. I will make an exception in saying that knitted ones for women and girls in pastel colours or cute shapes, (like monkey and panda faces), are adorable. But dude, you’re wearing a Jim Beam beanie. You have it pulled all the way down your neck, because you have a small head and would have to fold it up, but that isn’t applicable in bogan code for some reason. You have either a disgusting mullet, or tiny weird curls sticking out from underneath the awful hat, giving you the appearance of a dumbass, a peanut in it’s shell, or a woodland creature. (No, forgive me woodland creatures, you’re mostly lovely, even if you do try to bite my arms off).

* Gladiator sandals – Fuck. Me. Have you ever seen a real gladiators sandal? They’re actually a bit of alright. You know, if you’re a gladiator, or rocking the grecian styles. But the SHIT they’re coming out with these days, straps and buckles, no worries, but just strips of vinyl and synthetic crap strung together to look like a boot? AWFUL. Please don’t wear them with leggings and a singlet, because you look stupid. Really. Really. Stupid.

* Now this is completely not fashion related, but it needs to be said. Showers. Please. You know what they are. Old dude, I know you like coleslaw, you come in every day to get a tub of it, and it’s like you’re afraid of water, because you smell like ass. I can see that your hair is wet, and with anyone else I’d think, “Gee, that person must have just had a shower before they came to the shops, to visit me where I work in the deli section, and perchance buy some ham”, but you, oh no. It’s like wow, “Pretty sure you’ve been getting down with the pigs and they gave you a urine rinse for your hair. And now… Now they demand coleslaw.”

I um. I think I might be done now.

Whaaaa?

You know what I don’t understand, dear readers? When people put pictures of their dogs or cats as profile pictures on Facebook. What are they thinking? Is it because you don’t want to show your face? Is it because the public would find your image frightening? Do you wish you were as pretty as that bulldog you’ve picked for your display picture? Are you ashamed of your unphotogenicity?

Because we can tell that Mr. Muggles isn’t you. We’re pretty sure that Trevor Elvaston isn’t the name you picked for your dog, because then there surely must be something wrong with you. (Besides the fact that you’d clearly made a profile for your pet on a social networking site).

We go into your display picture album, and there’s frighteningly close shots of your dogs face, or in your proper albums, because surely you’re not a puppy, but lo and behold, there’s plently of shots in an album entitled ‘My Babies’, and not-quite-a-million poses.

Ok. We get it. You love your dog.

Updatey Date

Filed under: Uncategorized — by acheshirekitten @ 7:43 am

Well. My loooong post-free absence has been due to The Move. I’ve been moving house, and let me tell you, getting three peoples collective shite moved down the road should not have been as mental as it was =/

I ended up losing my deoderant for three days and having to use man smelly until I got paid. I’ve lost all my reading materials, and have nothing to do on the train any more, having completed my sewing project finally, to the point where I actually have to sit down with it to go any further.

The house is wonderful and large, and I know we aren’t going to find anything as large, the pity being that we only have three months here. Not cool. The stupid woman wants to develop =( (Stupid because she wants to transport her DOUBLE BRICK HOME to another location).

So I’m still running on borrowed sleep, I’m only just getting to be able to move around the house, not having to step over boxes anymore…

Hopefully, my posts will be more frequent as of now, because I sure need a little more structure and a little more fun!

Blargh.

Filed under: Uncategorized — by acheshirekitten @ 7:45 am

Sick of -
* Breathing acrid train fumes
* Walking behind slow people
* Always being warm
* Sleepless nights
* Shitty hair
* THONGS – they are the worst, most awful footwear.
* Never having pennies
* Continuing weird dreams about boys I’ve never ever met
* Disgusting hacking coughs from olds on the train
* Never being able to find a comfortable skirt that lasts more than a few months
* Summer
* Instability
* Moron customers (Yes, the fish department is temporarily closed for renovating, signified by the large sign that reads “Closed until friday”, and yes, you can still get fish, as the sign also says ” Fillets available at the Juice Bar”, which is the bar, at the front of the store, THAT SELLS JUICE.)

I Wish For Rain.

February Readin

Filed under: Uncategorized — by acheshirekitten @ 8:28 am

What a busy month. My reading did not go as well as I imagined, obviously looking at january ^_^

Reading For The Month Of February

* Harlequin – Ian Watson
Why did Meh’lindi have to die! She was so awesome!

* Chaos Child – Ian Watson

So as you can see, I didn’t get much reading done. I’ve been packing and cleaning and gardening. Oh gardening yesterday in the heat… my limbs are on fire today. I don’t quite know how I’ll survive a day of work, but I must do what I must do…

Hopefully we hear back in the nest couple of days, about the house we applied for. It’s really a very nice house, biggish rooms, backyard, big kitchen, air con. Oh sweet air con… and it’s proximity to the train station – it is maybe a two minute walk – I’ll never bug anyone about a lift again!

Ten Things I Love This Week

Filed under: Uncategorized — by acheshirekitten @ 8:31 pm

* Errr… Star Trek…. Watching Voyager and Next Gen at the moment – WIN

* Dr. Horrible’s Singalong Blog. Have you seen this work of pure genius? I don’t understand why all of Joss Whedons creations end up cancelled.

* Finally getting all that god damn gardening done. The front yard looks Awesome – thanks to me.

* Running With Little Scizzorz.

* Pineapple/Coconut icey blocks – low in sugar, no dairy, 99% fat free. Awwww yeah.

* Spray Bottle Is My Friend. It’s too figging hot, and the air con doesn’t even feel like it’s on, so the only way I stay cool is by spraying my limbs with water and having a fan pointed at me *sigh*

* Icey water. After two hours of labouring in the garden – on Labour Day =/ that icey water was just the most delicious thing I’d ever tasted.

* Snossage Sizzle – s’best thing when you just don’t give a shit about fancy food. Onions, ketchup, mustard *drool*

* I know I’ve already said this – but my handbag is figging wicked. The longer I have it, the more awesome it appears to be. Perfection!

* The Technical End Of Summer. I know it’s still really hot, but I know from this point, that it will steadily get cooler. Die summer, die!
