They'll name a city after us..

I adore buttons. I'm not sure why. They're very cute I think. Maybe what brought this on was that in textiles we have to make a skirt. So I have been paying close attention to skirts. In magazines, walking down the street. I want a skirt with buttons. Big buttons. Scattered in two straight lines down the skirt. Either square or circular. Big buttons like the buttons on the 'Miss Marmelstein' dress. Maybe my skirt can be vintage. Wouldn't that be interesting? Well you will have to see. I saw some gorgeous black and white checkered material. But I won't reveal too much :P


I am hot, tired and wishing for some freak reason to call the swimming carnival off. There are many reasons why. Firstly, I am not a swimmer. Never have been, never will be. Secondly, I can't dive. Not one bit. Thirdly, If I go in backstroke (only one where you don't have to dive), I don't have a one piece. And I am not embarrassing myself in front of 1200 people. No siree.

Did everyone listen to 'Down with love'? Clever lyrics I reckon.

I am about to go to the RSL club. Quite nice food, actually. When the food doesn't go cold. Oh, my sisters singing the ad for the RSL. So, you know...listen out for it.

Please have an open mind people. You know how they say 'when one door closes, another one opens'? Well they cant get the door open if your blocking the way. Let things happen. Be spontaneous.

'Absent minded me, I'm losing a key, or missing a glove, just like me to lose my love' - Absent minded me.

Dedications

I'd like to dedicate this post to everyone who has ever been rejected, dumped, or had unrequited love for someone. You are not alone, and though you might feel like crap today, tomorrow will be brighter and better. You were too good for them anyway.

This is one of my favorite songs on this topic. The lift your spirits here is a fantastic rendition of the song, 'Down with love' (click the link)

Patience...

I am not very patient, and I know it. Not 5 minutes ago, I was bored from watching the start of a tennis match on TV so I walked down here. I'm not patient with people, and with other things too. But when I want to do something I want to do it well. I haven't opened my 'learn Dutch in 3 months' cassette yet. I still have to fill out an application to dance. I need to go on a diet, but I just ate some cake.
When I obsess over something (or someone) I really feel for it. I don't give up. I just forgot what I was going to say. I'm reading my Barbra Streisand biography. Its really interesting. When mum would talk about her before I became a fan, I thought the same thing you all thought when your reading this. But I was open to change, I was open to new music and it has been one of the best things ever. It has broadened my music choice, it has given me hope to go for my dream (to be a famous musical theater actress - or any actress for that matter. ) and it has told me that being different won't stop you from doing what you want. Example, Barbra Streisand was gawky, had a big nose, odd fashion, an over-the-top Brooklyn accent and was controlling. But she knew what she wanted to be, and she went for it. Isn't that something? It just shows that if you want something bad enough, it will happen. Watch this space.

Back to my 'patience' issue, I need coaching on how to be more patient. I fidget, think about the strangest things when I'm bored and even if I've worked to get somewhere so hard (eg. dance ensemble) when I'm doing it I get bored and just want to go home. If I want to be an actress, I will have to learn to be more patient.
All through last night, I had (and still have) the song 'I believe in love' from 'A star is born' (1976) in my head. Seriously, I remember waking up through the night twice, and having the phrases run through my head constantly. That doesn't usually happen.
