<br />
yeah<br />
<br />
idk...im hungry<br />
<br />
NO I DONT WANT TO EAT YOU<br />
<br />
geez<br />
<br />
okey dokey<br />
<br />
So I'm sure most of you will be following the Hunger Games casting that has been happening :)<br />
<br />
and I want to talk about it here!!<br />
<br />
So first we'll starts off with KATNISS<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://static.poponthepop.com/images/gallery/jennifer-lawrence-hot-picture.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320px" i8="true" src="http://static.poponthepop.com/images/gallery/jennifer-lawrence-hot-picture.jpg" width="213px" /></a></div>hmmmmm<br />
I talked about this with my friend and she says that she's too pretty and perfect to be katniss...I kind of agree, now I havent see her act so I dont know what shes going to be like on screen but they must have hired her for a reason....if she darkens her hair, looks a bit more tough and gritty and gets silver contacts I reckon she would look FIERCE...or katniss like...the girl...not the plant <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.austinbug.com/larvalbugbio/pondhyacinth.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320px" i8="true" src="http://www.austinbug.com/larvalbugbio/pondhyacinth.jpg" width="240px" /></a></div>obviously she doesnt look like THIS<br />
<br />
duh<br />
<br />
ok so PEETA next!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCR4F-SrL9-Fu4syCeT1R3kvQwxIhVffJKprxmKhUv84lH7-E0AkWamkl9xxos2x-QYwWZA0cIhxINuoT04fMoDogsnSQL8MKCmvJ26anp5KFhbbeUoPj9_t-2tbiBXupKBSwoW9mFfBw/s1600/josh-hutcherson.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320px" i8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCR4F-SrL9-Fu4syCeT1R3kvQwxIhVffJKprxmKhUv84lH7-E0AkWamkl9xxos2x-QYwWZA0cIhxINuoT04fMoDogsnSQL8MKCmvJ26anp5KFhbbeUoPj9_t-2tbiBXupKBSwoW9mFfBw/s320/josh-hutcherson.jpg" width="213px" /></a></div>swoon... :D so I have seen him act! And I think HE IS BRILLIANT! He does have to get blonder hair and blue eyes...no questions asked. Appart from that I think he'll do really well, it'll be interesting for him to do this role...hmmm<br />
<br />
NEXT...GALE<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://modoration.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Liam-Hemsworth.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320px" i8="true" src="http://modoration.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Liam-Hemsworth.jpg" width="225px" /></a></div>gale, gale, gale....NO!! WHY DID YOU HIRE LIAM HEMSWORTH!??!? WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY?<br />
HE DOES NOT LOOK LIKE GALE<br />
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO<br />
*proceeds to cry into an old-fashioned hankie*<br />
apparently he is a good actor...but he just does NOT look like GALE, HE DOESNT<br />
grrrrrr<br />
<br />
:( :( :( <br />
<br />
(no offence if you like him :P)<br />
<br />
ONTO RUE!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.mtv.com/movies/photos/h/hunger_games_cast/amandla_stenberg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320px" i8="true" src="http://www.mtv.com/movies/photos/h/hunger_games_cast/amandla_stenberg.jpg" width="213px" /></a></div>zawwwww<br />
she is so cute!!! <3<br />
I haven't seen her act, but I think she looks so adorable!<br />
my rue looks a little different, but amandla is just so cute :p<br />
<br />
ONTO THRESH<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/110418/DAYO-OKENIYI_350.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320px" i8="true" src="http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/110418/DAYO-OKENIYI_350.jpg" width="224px" /></a></div>didn't imagine thresh like this...but I think..it kind of looks like him now that I think of it :D<br />
he looks like he wouldn't hurt a fly,but he looks dangerous too :)<br />
<br />
ONTO GLIMMER<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.boomtron.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/leven_rambin_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320px" i8="true" src="http://www.boomtron.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/leven_rambin_1.jpg" width="236px" /></a></div>yeah, yeah...she's ok....i kind of imagined her meaner looking, and prettier<br />
my friend thinks she should be pretty heavy, but I think that district 1 was more tall and lean than heavy...but they ARE careers...so?<br />
<br />
ONTO MARVEL<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.mtv.com/movies/photos/h/hunger_games_cast/jack_quaid.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320px" i8="true" src="http://www.mtv.com/movies/photos/h/hunger_games_cast/jack_quaid.jpg" width="213px" /></a></div>so i didn't really imagine marvel like this...I imagined him like shorn hair, but respectable yet scary and muscly looking...but pretty at the same time? hmmm we'll see<br />
<br />
ONTO PRIM!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.whatsplaying.com.au/uploads/willow-shields-239x300.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" i8="true" src="http://www.whatsplaying.com.au/uploads/willow-shields-239x300.png" /></a></div>hnm......she needs blue contacts :/ she looks a bit to...fierce? I imagined her more sweet and very innocent like... :) but once again...we'll seeeee<br />
<br />
ok, so...Haymitch (as of now) has not been cast yet<br />
<br />
the role has been offered to John Reilly, but he has been offered another role too in the movie Oz, right now he is choosing between one or the other...personally I want Johnny Depp as my Haymitch :D heheheh he would make an EXCELLENT drunk/Haymitch<br />
<br />
JOHN!<br />
<br />
<br />

I am so so so so so so so so so so incredibly sorry :/<br />
I have alot to explain<br />
<br />
ok so remember that camp I talked about last post? yer well that's where I was! :) for 5 whole weeks I was living on a farm working with my classmates 24/7. The reason I didnt explain this before I left was because I thought I would have enough time, I could just quickly pack and spend an hour or so blogging and saying goodbyee. Unfortunately it did not work out like that...I took almost 3 hours to pack, and this included getting all my stuff in the car, I had to clean my room and stuff also so it would look nice when I came back to it, basically it was a crazy day, so crazy that I forgot to eat the chocolate lollipop my mum gave me!<br />
<br />
Anyway, I had an AMAZING time...and I would do it 3 more times if I could, I loved it so much :D<br />
<br />
but yeah, I missed my blog so much!!! and I missed all of your posts too :) So naturally when I came back I had loads of fun catching up on all the posts, they are all soooooo goood :D<br />
<br />
so I was trying to think of what I could do this post on, and then it came to me :)<br />
<br />
NEBULAAAAA<br />
<br />
nebula has been a huge craze going round lately, I have always loved stars and the universe, but at the same time it also kind of scares me...how big and open and endless it is...<br />
so yeah, I went GOOGLING! (huzzah, cue irish dancers) <br />
<br />

Even though my blog is RED.<br />
I have always loved the colour blue, my room is painted blue, I have blue titanic posters on my wall and I have white furniture to match the sea-feel of it.<br />
<br />
I LOVE BLUE<br />
<br />
So I was surprised the other day to find so much red in my life O_O<br />
<br />
okay so no 1. I BOUGHT DOCS OMZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">A whileeeeee ago I posted about wanting to buy a pair of Docs, I am about to go on this HUGEEE camp (more about that later) and I need some shoes that I can easily wear around and not get blisters with (hem*CONVERSE*hem) so I FINALLY persuaded my mum to get me some YAY</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">and they are a lovely cherry red & <3</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.shoebuy.com/pi/drmar/drmar9173_7639_lg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" h5="true" src="http://www.shoebuy.com/pi/drmar/drmar9173_7639_lg.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">I didn't want to get shiny, lacquered ones because apparently they are harder to break in AND the shine scratches off, and I always thought these looked lovely, and (I'm not sure why) but they always reminded me a little of the boots Katniss wears in The Hunger Games...AND (and this is where it gets reeeaaaallyyyy clever) THEY MATCH MY BLOG!!!!! So I have to find some way to incorporate that into that...</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">But yes & <3 them (although they haven't arrived yet) I got them NEW and CHEAP off eBay! And they should be here in a week... :D</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">no. 2 : my absolute favourite lolly in the world, are JAFFAS <3 yum</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">I would continue but i just came up with a brill idea!</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">So when I was on YouTube the other day, I noticed all these people doing stuff like 'oooh my favourite brand of makeup is MAC, TAG your it' (um yeah, and you can afford it, but I'm a blogger so I CANT) so I eventually got the hang of the whole 'tag' thing...so imma do a tag...cuz it's fun!</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">ok, so the tag is...grab the thing nearest you and talk/review/comment about it!</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">um...so the closest thing to me at the moment is actually my Egyptian Magic</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">I don't know if you guys have heard of it, but it looks like this...</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.lovelula.com/prod_images_large/egyptian_magic_l1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.lovelula.com/prod_images_large/egyptian_magic_l1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">It's basically an all natural, all purpose cream! (I know it says skin...but it's much more much MORE, than just SKIN)</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">yeah, it's only got 6 ingredients in it (and I can actually read them!) Olive oil, Beeswax, honey, royal jelly, pollen and propolis extract (and divine love...or so it says)</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">I got it about a week and a bit ago, I got it off eBay and it was about $40? With shipping (AUS money)</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">For me I don't really like using it as much, because it's basically a solid oil, you take a TINY amount and rub in between your finger tips, and it will immediately turn to oil, then you just apply it wherever you need too. Most people I've seen apply it to their face, I apply it sometimes but not so much. but I use it for EVERYTHING else.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">A while ago I was at the beach and I was mucking around on this huge pipe sticking out into the ocean, and WHAM I suddenly slipped in slicing my foot open from the arch of my foot to above my ankle, it was BAD. It's scarred up now, but it's still pretty bad and itchy, so I apply it to that, and it's slowly fading! I also put it on my sisters sunburn, and the next day it was only a light pink colour! AMAZING! I also sometimes use it on the tips of my hair as a conditioner, mozzie bites, bruises, etc...I highly recommend this product, since you only need a TINY amount every day</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">BUT only apply it at night, because it leaves your face looking SUPER oily for a while </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">:)</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">done</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">So TAG you're it, grab the thing closest to you and talk about it! </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">I also said above that I was gonna talk about a camp, but it's a long story, so I'll dedicate a longer post to it, and I'm tired... ^O^ <yawning smiley=""></yawning></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">It's also valentines day soon!</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">yay</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">(I'm not a HUGE fan of valentine's day sorry :p but I still like it <3)</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

<br />
I'm so so sorry, I haven't been posting in a while, as you all may know school has started for me! <br />
I just finished my second week, and MY it was HEC-TIC<br />
but now I'm sort of in the balance of things and am getting used to mainstream school now, it has been hard going from a school with 130 people in it to a school with 3,000 people in it....<br />
<br />
so to the point of this pooooost<br />
<br />
not to long ago, I <a href="http://redrosemanhattan.blogspot.com/2011/01/ahoi-everybody-i-suuuuuuck-i-havent.html">posted</a> (YEAH YOU BETTER KNOW ABOUT THIS POST uhhh) about the floods and stuff happening here, thankfully, that has all calmed down now...BUT (be prepared, if you are ever planning a visit to Australia tell me so I can tell you when to go and when NOT to go)<br />
<br />
we had a cyclone<br />
<br />
thankfully (again) it didn't hit us, but it hit Cairns pretty bad....we called it Cyclone Yasi (the one thing I never got was the weird names they call the cyclones) but anyways, it was a level 5 cyclone (which is the highest you can get I'm pretty sure) and by midnight (on the night it hit) it was travelling at about 300km/h...<br />
like wow (haha <a href="http://thegirlinthepurplepants.blogspot.com/2011/02/operation-anne-frank-legacy.html">Jen</a>, made me think of your post! [which btw is awesome!]) <br />
<br />
One person died because something happened with a generator<br />
I won't say...but yeah<br />
<br />
and that made me think<br />
<br />
I think the world is going MENTAL<br />
<br />
I MEAN SERIOUSLY WHAT THE FACE<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://assets.wtface.com/hashed_silo_content/silo_content/3025/resized/3a_033.jpg?1267140373" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" h5="true" height="240" src="http://assets.wtface.com/hashed_silo_content/silo_content/3025/resized/3a_033.jpg?1267140373" width="320" /></a></div><br />
there's this probably-about-to-be-civil-war going on in Egypt, not too long ago there was the shooting in Arizona, there's floods and hurricanes and tsunamis, and I've also heard of really bad snow in USA etc...I seriously think there is something wrong here<br />
<br />
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not about to run around with a wooden sign screaming 'THE WORLD IS GOING TO END' style<br />
no<br />
<br />
MY theory is that the world is either:<br />
A: going through a mid-life crisis<br />
or B: going through a Detox phase<br />
<br />
and if you ask me, the detox sounds much more....peaceful<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://wwwdelivery.superstock.com/WI/223/1589/PreviewComp/SuperStock_1589R-54678.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" h5="true" height="320" src="http://wwwdelivery.superstock.com/WI/223/1589/PreviewComp/SuperStock_1589R-54678.jpg" width="234" /></a></div><br />
^^^ it's not a tent it's someone detoxing their face -.-<br />
<br />
I think the world is getting rid of all it's ugliness and grossness and is exfoliating (like all my beauty puns? ^_^) away all that stuff, in preparation for what the Mayans called 'A New Beginning' or something with a lunar stage<br />
<br />
but yeah, I just hope the world detoxes quickly and smoothly and that no more HORRIBLE stuff happens anymore<br />
<br />
oooh guess what??<br />
<br />
MY MUM WON THE LOTTO<br />
<br />
I'M RIIIICH<br />
<br />
by $80...<br />
<br />
we won $80 in the lotto! so we're having a celebratory pizza followed by a celebratory Glee, and a celebratory episode of 7th Heaven and Dr.Quinn<br />
<br />
Whaaaaat a wiiiiiild night<br />
<br />
I've also signed up for ARCHERY at school, when I found out I got in I was like asekghsjka;ghsdfjkgdfh AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH <br />
<br />
In my head of course, otherwise people would find out I blog<br />
<br />
but yeah, I was sooo psyched because my mum is always on me about finding a 'sport' (but I'm a blogger mum! That IS a sport!) <br />
but apparently archery is NOT a sport<br />
<br />
pffft, whatever I'll be the one with the insane Katniss skills<br />
<br />
this will be my model<br />

<3 *sigh totoro*<br />
<br />
Totoro is this creature from a movie called 'My Neighbour Totoro' (I haven't seen it yet, but I've reserved it in the library) and it was just love at first sight (cue slow mo and sandy beaches) but yeah I saw a tutorial by bubzbeauty on YouTube and she was painting him on a mug (as you do) I SCREAMED, because it was just so adorable!!!!!<br />
<br />
So I proceeded to draw 3 pictures of him, and a painting...and a shrine...just kidding! (About the shrine)<br />
<br />
here they are!<br />
*I would post the painting, but the camera is stuffed so I can't*<br />

so me thinking that this was some sweet innocent kid with some sweet innocent friends, call out to them 'HEY I LIKE YOUR PHONE' and the sweet angelic little child turns around, looks me up and down, sneers then says 'It's and iPhone 4G' and stalks off, and her posse behind her go 'yeaaah *rubs noses* it's a 4G' and saunter off into their little corner and put their little hands over their little mouths and make little snide remarks...<br />

In our day they would have been slapped....not really, just kidding!!!<br />
<br />
But yeah, this has me thinking more and more about how our world is turning out to be, the fact that little kids are being given expensive gifts and phones like that is astounding!<br />
<br />
This year a bunch of kids from the Primary school are coming up to the high school (personally I don't understand how they can start high school, most of them are 11)<br />
and apparently, they all got razors for Christmas! RAZORS AT 11! one of them even got her eyebrows waxed professionally, a few of them got highlights and layers, and most of them went out and bought a brand new wardrobe...<br />
<br />
It's like a GINORMOUS version of The Pretty Committee...honestly I'm gonna go back the high school one day and find 11 year old Paris Hilton minions running around the place...<br />
<br />
argh I know it sounds like I'm ranting (which I am) but it's just really sad that little kids are being forced to grow up to quickly, kids are supposed to be innocent to these kinds of things...it's like they were robbed of their childhood innocence :(<br />
<br />
But anyways<br />
<br />
My dog got a shave!!! She was all knotty but fluffy, but now that it's (finally) sunny, we thought we'd give her a summer do!<br />

it was delish! Instead of snow I blended up some ice cubes and made something like snow...I poured the maple syrup over it and it all seemed to be working just fine, except for when I had wrapped the toffee around the Popsicle stick it was still kind of gooey, but I was hungry and wanted some sugar so I ate it anyway and it was DELISH, thanks for the recipe!!!!<br />
<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Me: Happy New Year!!!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Everyone: Yeah!!!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Me: Hey guess what?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Everyone:.....What?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Me: You are all hobos!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Everyone:....um why?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Me: Because *cue drum roll* you have all been wearing these clothes since last year!!!!!!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And then we all toasted to our new found hobo-ness</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So how has everyone been? Good hopefully :) I'm so zealous you all have snow! All we have in Australia is rain, rain, rain, floods, and rain</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Speaking of, all this rain has become really serious, it's no longer a EHMAGAWD ITS RAINING MY HAIR IS RUINED!!! BEAN GET INSIDE THE HOUSE NOW! DON'T PLAY WITH TODD! (just a little clique-ness for you all :p)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But the rain has turned into full on flood-landia...for example about 20 minutes from where I live a flash flood killed about 12 people, and now over 72 people are missing! (This was yesterday so I don't even know where we stand today) 4 of the deaths were little kids.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> know this is all really depressing and all, but it makes me so sad, I was almost crying yesterday when I heard the news, I mean it's a brand new year, and then BAM it floods, thankfully, none of our friends have been affected, the worst that has happened to them and to us is a flooded road or a blocked off highway or a water in the storage room, there's grossness everywhere, snakes in the river (one guy found 1000 SNAKES in his house)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's a really sad subject, on top of the shooting in Arizona (thanks </span><a href="http://thegirlinthepurplepants.blogspot.com/2011/01/arizona-shooting.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;">Jen</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> for the post on that) 2011 is not off to a brilliant start...</span><br />

<br />
^^ this quote was inspired by the typical pre-Christmas-last-minute-run-to-the-shops rush...<br />
<br />
The most interesting thing I find doing in a mall is People Watching, it's really amazing watching how many people can step on the same place that you had stepped on 10 minutes ago, it made me realise just how many people are in this world...<br />
<br />
It's kinda freaky thinking about the fact that this time next month is next year...if that made any sense at all :)<br />
<br />
Which also made me think about the fact what a <span style="font-size: large;">HUGE</span> year it was. So inspired by Frankie Magazine I have decided to make a list of 20 things that have happened to me this year...it was amazingly reflective :D<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple;">1.</span> Slept through New Year due to a migraine but had an amazing Sun Rise ceremony at Woodford Folk Festival on the 1st<br />
<span style="color: purple;">2.</span> Fell out with a best friend<br />
<span style="color: purple;">3.</span> Had first frozen hot chocolate<br />
<span style="color: purple;">4.</span> Bought MY AMAZING PINK COAT (!!!)<br />
<span style="color: purple;">5.</span> Received an academic scholarship<br />
<span style="color: purple;">6.</span> Traveled to America for a month<br />
<span style="color: purple;">7.</span> Saw a real life piece of the Titanic (EHMAGAWD)<br />
<span style="color: purple;">8.</span> Saw the Grand Canyon and befriended a squirrel (I can't believe how many squirrels you guys have!!!)<br />
<span style="color: purple;">9.</span> Went to HP world (!)<br />
<span style="color: purple;">10.</span> Saw the White House<br />
<span style="color: purple;">11.</span> Flew to Germany to visit our family for the first time in 4 years<br />
<span style="color: purple;">12</span>. Met my cousin for the first time<br />
<span style="color: purple;">13.</span> My dad was diagnosed with cancer<br />
<span style="color: purple;">14.</span> Flew back home...(not under great circumstances)<br />
<span style="color: purple;">15.</span> Started blogging!! (best thing ever)<br />
<span style="color: purple;">16.</span> Found out that I had saved up over $600<br />
<span style="color: purple;">17.</span> Won a writing competition<br />
<span style="color: purple;">18.</span> Got a job that starts next year<br />
<span style="color: purple;">19.</span>Entered two speech competitions, came 2nd in the first one because I forgot the ending of my speech because I didn't bring any palm cards up, almost won the second one but the judge was the mother of the winner...<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: purple;"></span><span style="color: purple;">20.</span>Discovered the Hunger Games (waaay back in March) and sent in my resume to Debra Zane<br />
<br />
<i>***these are not all in order since I thought up random ones as I went along</i><br />
<br />
I hope you all enjoy the list :) I suggest you make one too, because it gave me a chance to look back on an amazing year...<br />
<br />
And now some happy pics!!!<br />

I DIY'd all these throughout a period of time...the ones with the cream and red floral print on them is all made from 1/2 metre of fabric which I though was pretty cool :D<br />
<br />
I hope you all have a merry Christmas (or Hanukkah) and a happy happy new year... :)<br />

Will we still be wanting that 60,0000000 Egyptian thread count sheet? Or the newest iPhone? Will it matter if we went to the Hampton's for the holidays? Or if we spilt sauce all over ourselves at a formal dinner? Will it matter that we have the latest of everything? <br /><br />Or will it matter that we always hugged our parents everyday? That we went to bed smiling? That we made sure that our loved ones knew how much we care for them? That we made sure we always said goodbye with a smile? That we showed someone our love in their time of need? That we inspired something? That we changed someones life? That we made sure the world we will leave someday is perfect for the generations to come? That we lived everyday to the fullest? That we didn't hide out emotions and our fears and show them to the world so that we can be helped? That we got the freedom to be just us? That when we die we can safely say that you had the best time ever?<br /><br />One day every material thing we have will be gone, materialistic things and objects can disappear in seconds, but memories, experiences and love can't. One day we will be beyond hoarding stuff in our rooms for the comfort and the pleasure of it. One day everything will be gone, everything except for the memories you left behind, if the impact you made was that strong.<br /><br />In our ever changing world it is hard to make dents that leave behind any sort of trace, it is hard to arouse a memory of you in 200 years. <br /><br />One day in the near (or in the distant) future everything will be different, everything will have shifted from its original place, everything is always moving, always changing.<br /><br />It is up to us to make the change that truly matters. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO3YTzct3ZZZEWPtLQbrTg2ziTGmZXrfg0mai4A0R-cqRPDHE-tJYk3HYQQRPHpG-9rkwq4c0j0uNN1XBmRgAk9_KRo7enE7YqT-sW2NMXFu-u8LbzBqUrLAaRi9DrcPJz6es_04U9d-s4/s1600/underwater_large.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer;

cursor:hand;width: 311px; height: 362px;" src="http://www.artsjournal.com/bookdaddy/Home_Photo_books.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />BOOOOOOKS, yes children the magical world of books...<br />books are possibly the coolest thing ever invented, they are also absolutely timeless, I mean in 20 years are people gonna be like 'yeah remember that movie that came out? wow it was great!' or are they gonna say 'het, remember that really amazing book we read ages ago, I wonder if they still stock it...' personally I think it will be the latter. <br />But what I think is amazing is that words written on a page can bring real tears to someones eyes, or make someone laugh, or be turned into a movie franchise, or a theme park, it was books that originally sparked all this. We wouldn't have Shakespeare's plays without books, we would hardly know a thing about botany or dinosaurs without books (sort of) I actually cant imagine a WORLD without books (yes I'm looking at you Kindle)<br /><br />So in honour of my stoic book thoughts I have put together a little list (a list!!! yay) for all of you, consisting of my favourite pieces of literature...<br /><br /><strong>My Sisters Keeper by Jodie Picoult </strong><br /><br /><a href="http://www.jodipicoult.com/images/my-sisters-keeper-lg.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 430px; height: 670px;" src="http://www.jodipicoult.com/images/my-sisters-keeper-lg.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />This book made me cry, and I don't mean like a delicate Bambi tear, but a full on cry...<br /><br />Pros: It was an amazing read, totally inspiring and insightful :)<br />Cons: too sad :(<br /><br /><strong>Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare</strong> (der)<br /><br /><a href="http://agoodstoppingpoint.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/romeo-and-juliet2.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 292px; height: 475px;" src="http://agoodstoppingpoint.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/romeo-and-juliet2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />I love the language and the death scene always makes me cry...(I know, I cry to much *sigh*)<br /><br />Pros: The language is amazing, and it's a classic piece of literature in itself...it's just Romeo and Juliet that make Romeo and Juliet so amazing...if that makes sense<br />Cons: It can get quite boring at bits<br /><br /><strong>The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins</strong><br /><br /><a href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41s3YXYchbL._SL500_AA300_.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41s3YXYchbL._SL500_AA300_.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />No questions asked THE best trilogy of books ever written<br /><br />Pros: um all of it :D seriously<br />Cons: There should be MORE books...<br /><br /><strong>The Uglies series by Scott Westerfield</strong><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0lkJTqr-sOs5jmK1QwgL7trj5xD_DIBaGaZjLQ3E3CZDRRg7ej9Kta5SBYDMoFQPMypr0sAsDihFvgQ-DLOtlYMrLmaA8RvcdN9oo9DvqEVKEkgOrOnyAvCsfYxKMtY_f_Tg4M3VSyTH0/s1600/Uglies.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 197px; height: 276px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0lkJTqr-sOs5jmK1QwgL7trj5xD_DIBaGaZjLQ3E3CZDRRg7ej9Kta5SBYDMoFQPMypr0sAsDihFvgQ-DLOtlYMrLmaA8RvcdN9oo9DvqEVKEkgOrOnyAvCsfYxKMtY_f_Tg4M3VSyTH0/s1600/Uglies.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />I haven't finished the series yet, because my library is foolish, but its brill so far<br /><br />Pros: I love how there's all these underlying details to it, and how its a huge conspiracy and all that<br />Cons: It can drag on a bit at some points, also so far the plot is kind of repetitive<br /><br /><strong>Fill Out This Application and Wait over There .... (forgot sorry)</strong><br /><br /><a href="https://www.scool.scholastic.com.au/Store/content/images/7926121_Z.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 230px; height: 252px;" src="https://www.scool.scholastic.com.au/Store/content/images/7926121_Z.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />I've read this book like a zillion times and I still love it :)<br /><br />Pros: It's funny, and I love how the whole book is like a diary, I love how it gives you behind the scenes of THE WORKING WORLD<br />Cons:(! eeh) she can be kind of irritating sometimes :P<br /><br /><strong>A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett (I think that's how u spell it)</strong><br /><br /><a href="http://www.breslichfoss.co.uk/data/images/ALittlePrincess.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 333px;" src="http://www.breslichfoss.co.uk/data/images/ALittlePrincess.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Once again I have read this a million times, I think I also love it because I was in the play version of this in the city<br /><br />Pros: It's a classic, and I love how Sara speaks, it also has a happy ending<br />Cons:I honestly don't know<br /><br /><strong>Ballet Shoes by...?</strong><br /><br /><a href="http://scarvell.net/dararat/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/ballet-shoes2.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 423px; height: 648px;" src="http://scarvell.net/dararat/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/ballet-shoes2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />I just read this and I loved it :)<br /><br />Pros:I love theatre and stuff like that, and it talks about that all the time (and the Titanic is in there!!!!)<br />Cons: It can be too dramatic<br /><br />So this is my list of books, there is probably more that I have just forgotten about, and it will probably EXPAAAAND after Christmas (OMG CHRISTMAS HUZZAH) <br /><br />also while we're talking about the Chrissie times I just wanted to say I got one Christmas present already!!! (look I know it's not Christmas, but whatever) I got the pretty 'heart of the ocean' style necklace off etsy!!! See my friend and I celebrated Christmas a bit early (we couldn't stand the excitement!!) you can see the necklace on <a href="http://redrosemanhattan.blogspot.com/2010/11/i-cant-begin-to-fathom-how-incredibly.html">THIS</a> post :) I loveee it, but it's a bit smaller than I imagine, thanks <a href="http://wattherandom.blogspot.com/">Brooke</a>!!! <br /><br />So I think this was a pretty big post lol, and OH I also went to LUSH today!!!! I didn't have that much money because i bought a really cool radio, but I spent it all on a lip scrub made form sugar, vanilla and chocolate :D (which is seriously like heaven) I've scrubbed my lips 4 times today, teehee, but my mum has threatened to take it off me if I don't stop because she thinks my lips will fall off...(HINT I HOPE THERE ARE LOTS OF LUSH GOODIES UNDER THE TREE DEAR SANTA MAN) <br /><br />I also have been struck my much inspiration lately so xpect a few more posts :) and I'm pretty sure I will have a CHRISTMAS post soon (eeeeek I cant wait)<br /><br />take care everyone, make sure you don't get eaten by a man eating traffic cone....there have been quite a few on the run lately<br /><br />-C xxx<br /><br />p.s I also forgot to mention Harry Potter books, but I thought that was a given :)Caroline :)http://www.blogger.com/profile/16934766238602651353noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1962783393648547104.post-47309978981302921552010-11-23T17:00:00.000-08:002010-11-23T17:45:46.109-08:00oh gosh, lets be glambitious YUM potato saladfrom the title you can OBVIOUSLYYY guess what this post is about...right???<br />not so much<br /><br />so (I know right!

See the thing I love about HP movies is that it's not entirely serious and morbid, but they include humour (mostly thanks to Rupert Grint) I also found myself loving a few of the things that they were wearing in the movie, especially the Deathly Hallows pendant from Mr.Lovegood.

No? HANDS UP?...sad<br />I went strawberry picking today...which is a shame really because I can't look at another strawberry ever again (hahhah are you kidding me?)<br />But anyway, being out in the field all day (for about 20 minutes) gave me a chance to reflect on life and Plato-ish things alike...like for example, don't pick strawberries on the same lane someone else is picking because you will take all the good berries and leave them with NOTHING (this thought started off philosophically and then it started to go gibberish, as do so many other things)<br />moving on<br /><br />So recently I have found a really big liking for summer-sand-dessert-sun drenched type photos....they be so pretty<br />I don't know why this is, maybe because I like the idea of sitting on a sandy slope in a lacy white dress with the sun setting in the far distance...and white horses galloping joyfully (really? how low I have sunk (hahahahahah anyone else get the pun?)) mmmm that kind of romantic thinking calms me....<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">PICTURES!!!!!</span><span style="font-style:italic;">ITALICS!!!!</span><span style="font-style:italic;">ITALIC PICTURES!!(ha I wish)</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.thesweetestoccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/outdoor-breakfast-buffet-wedding-reception-ideas.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 600px; height: 402px;" src="http://www.thesweetestoccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/outdoor-breakfast-buffet-wedding-reception-ideas.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://mustardandsage.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/kling4.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px; height: 333px;" src="http://mustardandsage.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/kling4.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://tropicalpeterpan.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/lucilebrokawharpersbazaardecember19.png?w=395&h=501"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 395px; height: 501px;" src="http://tropicalpeterpan.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/lucilebrokawharpersbazaardecember19.png?w=395&h=501" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/pub/21publish/fashion/2_694.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/pub/21publish/fashion/2_694.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.allykatdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/step9.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 574px; height: 853px;" src="http://www.allykatdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/step9.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i.models.com/feed/uploads/1085485151_orig_iDJanuary2009coverphMattJonesstylistTinaChaiAnneVyalitsynaatWomenManagementNewYorkCalvinKleinFanciscoCostaTheManhoodIssue3.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px; height: 726px;" src="http://i.models.com/feed/uploads/1085485151_orig_iDJanuary2009coverphMattJonesstylistTinaChaiAnneVyalitsynaatWomenManagementNewYorkCalvinKleinFanciscoCostaTheManhoodIssue3.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />i think they all feel kind of drowsy, Sunday afternoon haze type thing....<br />except for the black and white one, where I was trying to portray a 50's beachy-I-know-what-you-did-last-summer-stalker vibe...I hope that came CLEARLY across<br />I hope you all have a spledifurous weekend ^_^<br /><br />-C xxxCaroline :)http://www.blogger.com/profile/16934766238602651353noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1962783393648547104.post-71823324767786199072010-11-03T18:51:00.000-07:002010-11-03T19:09:09.465-07:00So super excited!!!!<br /><br />Ok so on Halloween I entered this dress up competition with my friend Brooke, we entered it in this website, and now whats happening is that THE PUBLIC get to vote for the winning costume.

After researching palm oil for a little bit I was shocked to find what it actually is, and the consequences it leaves behind. For in fact palm oil kills millions, upon billions of forests and wildlife every year, including orangutans, Orangutans are already a VERY endangered creature and the fact that you exploit them for food and for taste is beyond humane.<br /> They are taken out of their natural environment, as a matter of fact the natural environment is taken out of them, they are killed, and so are the trees which have been growing around them for millions of years, feeding their ancestors, themselves and their children. <br />The fact that you include an ingredient with so many fatal consequences attributed to it is atrocious. What's even more horrific is that you advertise the product that the ingredient is in, as a HAPPY and HEALTHY one, let me tell you dear Healtheries killing orangutans for the pleasure of what goes in our stomachs is sickening, which I don't makes a very good marketing slogan, as it is an oxymoron. <br />Moreover the fact that this product is directed at children is horrible. Giving children something to eat under the pretence that it is 'healthy' and good for you, is very misleading, teaching our children a horrible lesson, you are telling them that it is ok to include said ingredient (palm oil) into our daily foods, that you decorate so inappropriately with smiling children and happy orange colours (which ironically is also the colour of an orangutan)<br />I would like to share with you this brief snapshot of what palm oil really does, I believe not following this link would be, on your behalf, extremely petulant and cowardly, please enjoy,<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RljdGj547GM<br /><br />Now that we viewed this interesting video I would like to leave you with this final thought.<br />In our ever changing community one voice is not enough, a major company which influences so many households and which people so casually toss into their shopping trolleys would be enough. If you, Healtheries, find the courage to say NO to this slaughter (the killing of orangutans and rainforest) then more people would listen. As you can see in one of the comments of the video 'if we can get the government to ban palm oil...that is the only way to save the orangutans'....that is the ONLY WAY to save the orangutans...<br />Please dear Healtheries think about my email, before you hit delete think about what message you are casting aside. It is wrong to violate the safety and lives of animals, endangered animals. If you take Palm Oil off your ingredients list forever then you will make a real difference.<br /><br />I am very happy with this email, and I am really looking forward to their reaction :) <br />These people use palm oil in their products which is VERY BAD (thus the email)<br />I am about to keel over form tired-ness from writing that email. I will post the reply as soon as it comes<br /><br />an orangutan :)<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://media.rd.com/rd/images/rdc/mag0811/jungle-rescue-save-orangutans-01-af.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 492px; height: 400px;" src="http://media.rd.com/rd/images/rdc/mag0811/jungle-rescue-save-orangutans-01-af.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />-C xxxCaroline :)http://www.blogger.com/profile/16934766238602651353noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1962783393648547104.post-67618440801028570712010-10-22T02:23:00.000-07:002010-10-22T02:37:04.946-07:00lack of oxygen oooo <---- (oxygen bubbles)OH HELLO THERE PEOPLE OF THE SUN!

But not that many as there was a disappointing number of good stuff, there was mostly just stuff...that smelled funny.<br /><br />I took a picture of everything but then I found out that my memory corrupted and had a spaz so it took FOREVER to upload them...here ya go<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvqERGqXWcYVupU4S_To9AcoStev2Ll1L2Hj65OEF7gmRKZRH2GTXoZGRbAzFyrxw2fwe4_9KPM8g2w1dWCRAW2eI7bmF_oakmHwUjtEVtxN79H7Rs-324mfO8fXmon1JzuUfWFZkTSDvO/s1600/2008_12100090.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvqERGqXWcYVupU4S_To9AcoStev2Ll1L2Hj65OEF7gmRKZRH2GTXoZGRbAzFyrxw2fwe4_9KPM8g2w1dWCRAW2eI7bmF_oakmHwUjtEVtxN79H7Rs-324mfO8fXmon1JzuUfWFZkTSDvO/s320/2008_12100090.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521121613960509410" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRQltWJ9E0ayFOAfq-SeIv6DCcKdjcMdgpXYIaW3lf7e1Nb-KiwLFYtZoc8fdLvyyypf5Ui6dNKWn7RR1D3waMjvq2YFOyIGUWyWeFLfYsFdzw8nWbIvZnf7PAwjCq2XS-CeUsv_Cuz6xy/s1600/2008_12100086.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRQltWJ9E0ayFOAfq-SeIv6DCcKdjcMdgpXYIaW3lf7e1Nb-KiwLFYtZoc8fdLvyyypf5Ui6dNKWn7RR1D3waMjvq2YFOyIGUWyWeFLfYsFdzw8nWbIvZnf7PAwjCq2XS-CeUsv_Cuz6xy/s320/2008_12100086.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521121611072055506" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjplBUQ27stUdEeiml9JNQhNcK7ElLUeQm4AsRfaMkKlKep4iawpj28CLa5HyreOWPg9DbRXUs_qY6d-0-Z9w4U2wjS4pBnRz_z-OPxN3q4mt8q9Qroyk4xHQwlDTlQF3ENYNTDhJm48lQ8/s1600/2008_12100083.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjplBUQ27stUdEeiml9JNQhNcK7ElLUeQm4AsRfaMkKlKep4iawpj28CLa5HyreOWPg9DbRXUs_qY6d-0-Z9w4U2wjS4pBnRz_z-OPxN3q4mt8q9Qroyk4xHQwlDTlQF3ENYNTDhJm48lQ8/s320/2008_12100083.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521121602161867970" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivpJnKeDJcFXjqDAq-mdEynHtZTlTIjINIV5pPiFJ7s_2NqaWz3TaLfMTWeymmYOsF1IVM05ARo_88BvyodXJzENL1BMtAaDGwzAD05cXoaixJTbrpwuWKAno3gsJ2F286jeXjlrwobD1H/s1600/2008_12100082.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivpJnKeDJcFXjqDAq-mdEynHtZTlTIjINIV5pPiFJ7s_2NqaWz3TaLfMTWeymmYOsF1IVM05ARo_88BvyodXJzENL1BMtAaDGwzAD05cXoaixJTbrpwuWKAno3gsJ2F286jeXjlrwobD1H/s320/2008_12100082.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521121599580650642" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjl2rZYkGv9Ooe2TLCewsMc3bmzwngkiO34FfcPKMHZLB-mFNbweLZ0DtS7h3nmbnDTGHCJBNoMXyo9fN5Ikqg1va2gdkvoEh77V4pcLnBety9xNZbR-X22YTad9df1nIDtVF2exFs8H0U/s1600/2008_12100080.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjl2rZYkGv9Ooe2TLCewsMc3bmzwngkiO34FfcPKMHZLB-mFNbweLZ0DtS7h3nmbnDTGHCJBNoMXyo9fN5Ikqg1va2gdkvoEh77V4pcLnBety9xNZbR-X22YTad9df1nIDtVF2exFs8H0U/s320/2008_12100080.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521121594742382178" /></a><br /><br />The long white jacket was a kind of practical/inspirational buy as it goes well with a skirt I recently bought for some fancy-pants debating thing that I have to go to<br />The other white jacket was kind of random, but looks cute on<br />The flower top I bought because it looks pretty over my swimsuit this summer<br />um, the Tartan looking jacket was another RANDOM buy, it just looked so funny and colourful and made me think of terriers and those yummy crumbly biscuits with cream in them...it looks nice on though and it's sooo big it almost goes down to my knees, but I'm getting really sick of the whole flannelet thing that's happening right now so I thought this was like a twist on it hahah<br />and then we come to the leather jacket...THE BEAUTIFUL LEATHER JACKET!!!! When I saw it I just grabbed it...CUZ IT WAS SO AMAZING, it goes down past my thighs, and the leather is so soft and worn, the inside is silky, it reminded me so much of the leather jacket Katniss has in the Hunger Games... :)<br /><br />AND ALL OF THIS FOR THE GRAND PRICE OF...$2!!!!!!!!!!! BARGAIN BUYS<br /><br />besides with the whole white jacket thing, and the leather jacket I CAN DO THE SUIT FLICK!!! hurrah! (the suit flick post was a while back haha)<br /><br />And I will just share this last piece of news...tomorrow is the first day of term 4!! nooooo, IT'S MY LAST YEAR IN THAT SCHOOL...:( going to be sooo sad, so I'm going to take my corrupted memory card camera into school everyday and have like a creepy stalker like collage of this year...<br /><br />Farewell fellow thrifters<br />-C xxCaroline :)http://www.blogger.com/profile/16934766238602651353noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1962783393648547104.post-19624116551908670622010-09-22T17:43:00.000-07:002010-09-22T19:12:00.040-07:00I wanna travel the woooorld, stupid ice-bergMy dad called me over to the computer this morning and showed me the story that had just appeared on the news<br /><br />I have been obsessed with the Titanic ever since I saw the film (yes, I know a strange thing to be obsessed with) <br /><br /><a href="http://lostcruiseliners.webs.com/0_paintings_titanic%5B1%5D.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 359px; height: 360px;" src="http://lostcruiseliners.webs.com/0_paintings_titanic%5B1%5D.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />But it is a MASSIVE obsession, I have done tonnes of speeches at school about it, I have read almost every single book about it, every time someone says something inaccurate about the Titanic I basically start a debate and I try to include the Titanic in everything I can...in short I AM SO OBSESSED IT'S WEIRD. (but like my mum says at least I'm not obsessed with make-up) When I went to the Titanic exhibition in Las Vegas I spent over $60 on souvenirs and was crying in some bits of the exhibition...the whole exhibition was beautiful, truly amazing. They had plates and jewelry from the wreck and the story line was written all along the walls...When you went in you got a 'passenger' ticket, and at the end you found out if you survived the sinking, I survived (hurrah!)<br /><br />But it was so incredibly sad, and the Titanic is a really close subject for me, a while back I watched this documentary on it, all these mysteries of it were uncovered and all that, and I just sat there bawling, I was in shock for like an hour afterwards :(<br /><br />But anyway back to the main point of this post...apparently the whole the Titanic sunk in a such a short space of time after hitting an iceberg thing, caused a few people to get suspicious, so they started digging around (argh I was so jealous!!) and they found that the Titanic had actually sunk because of a steering mistake, it was BECAUSE of that mistake that they hit the iceberg, which made me so sad(der)<br /><br />but you can read the article <a href="http://au.news.yahoo.com/queensland/a/-/world/7996943/titanic-sunk-by-steering-mistake-author-says/">here</a><br /><br />there is such a looooooong history of the Titanic and so many things that could have possibly prevented it from sinking!!!<br /><br />For example:<br /><br />1. When one guy was fired from the Titanic crew because they had one to many, he 'accidentally' took the key for the spyglasses that were for the crows nest, the iceberg would probably have been seen sooner<br /><br />2. THE LIFEBOATS!!! They didn't have enough! But a little known fact is that the Titanic had actually exceeded the number of lifeboats originally, and the White Star Line said 'hey guys! You don't need that lifeboats, people want to be able to see the sea (parson the pun) so let's leave about 12 ok?' Obviously if they have MORE lifeboats, not as many people would have died<br /><br />3. On the night the Titanic sunk the Californian (a ship near the Titanic) was sending signals out it telling them that there were ice bergs nearby...on the Titanic a high pitched noise came out of the headset, and the guy who was in charge of the telegrams sent back a message insulting the Californian...the Californian turned off their headset, during the sinking various messages were sent out to no avail, the Californian due it's close proximity could have saved every person on that ship.<br /><br />4. When the Titanic was being furnished and they put in a grand staircase the owner of the ship (who btw jumped of the ship when it was sinking and saved himself while the Captain and the Crew all died) said that it wasn't 'grand' enough, so he made it bigger and lowered the bulkheads by 5 feet, due to this the watertight chambers filled up faster and sunk, if the bulkheads hadn't been lowered it would have filled slower and it would have stayed afloat while help came<br /><br />Yes, as you can see from my freakish list I am obsessed!<br /><br />AND THEN I FOUND THIS REALLY AMAZING HOTEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ahhhhh I want to go to it!I'm putting it on my wish list, <a href="http://www.titanic.com.tr/">here's</a> the link for the Titanic Hotels (yes hotelS!!!)
