facebook spamming

spending the afternoon with my darling Renée (i finally know now how to get the é :) im very proud of this new technology skill i have acquired)


we have been good girls and doing our homework all day, now its break time aka blog time.
we often (when we are in separate destinations with access to an computer and internet) are known to spam each others facebooks with random images.
Renée is a crazy cat lady so majority of her pictures are of cats, trying to convert me no doubt.
these images are from the most recent to least recent...

(pot plant cake and ice cream)

copying all these made me laugh and remember how much i love and adore our friendship!

love you fwend!!

xbox update; 9 weeks and still waiting..

ANZAC Day

Lest we Forget;


today in Australia marks the day we remember and appreciate what our men and women did to give us the country we live in today.
they gave us their lives as they fought on the front line of the wars passed.
they worked day and night in tents of the war zones to try and save those who were injured in battle.
they gave us more than we could ask them for.
for that we thank and remember them.
their strength, their loyalty, their hope and their courage to fight for our country.
war is a horrible thing, so its important to appreciate and dedicate our thought and time to those who are not with us today because of these times.


[They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old;


Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning,

We will remember them.]

exposed.

alone.
simple as that.
the overwhelming feeling of loneliness is consuming.
sitting there,
in the water completely exposed.
[physically and emotionally]
tears running down her cheeks,
mixing with the bath water
why?
the one constant question swimming through her head.
blacks and whites are not so bold any more.
the edges are blurred.
this loneliness is followed by guilt,
the guilt of the luck she beholds,
the life she leads.
there are lives taken or lost everyday,
war.
death.
starvation.
suffering at life's hands.
what does she have to complain about?
the heart that beats beneath her skin,
behind her ribs.
pumping the life around her body,
also holds love.
so much love but no where for it to go,
no one to give it to.
stubborn,
wearing this heart on her sleeve,
is not working so well.
[it does not seem to be enough]
not enough for anyone to encounter her.
to let the curiosity consume them and woo her.
she may not be as mysterious as she believes.
[an open book with a boring story]
day by day,
the ups and downs.
one minute the world is sunny,
the next is it the dark and stars refuse to shine.
where is her happy medium?
why does it feel like a lie?
the joy seems short lived..
[yet]
she does not take it for granted.
wishing upon stars should be left to children,
with hearts of gold,
and innocence that left her long ago.
life showed her what is true and what is not.
still waiting for that one to walk into her life,
see her for what she is;
a scared girl trying to be a adult in this spinning world.
fearful of getting hurt,
but more so of not being able to share herself fully with anyone.
will she leave her mark on the world or on someone's heart?
will she exist for this time on earth,
then disappear without a trace?
just a whisper in the dark,
given back to the nature she originated from.
beginning to end.

ed sheeran

this video confused me!
i like Ed Sheeran and i have his album...
and i watched this with the most puzzled look on my face then promptly 
discussed with a fellow colleague about if this was or was not Ron Weasley!
(i was watching this on my lunch break)
gosh.
i still love them both.
ah rangas <3 
enjoy.

you know you've got some amazing friends when they give you your birthday present 
[17 days early]
a portable hard drive, and they have already put some of my favourite shows on it
all because i kept asking if i could put data on my xbox hard drive.
:D
definitely feel the love!
lady Renee i appreciate you!! because i know you're the brains behind it all.
and my many thanks for my present was seeing her through the window about to walk out the door scaring her by creeping up to the front door and waiting for her open it to then unexpectedly see my face!!
tee hee


that is probably the only really exciting news apart from Renee graduating yesterday from her Honors yesterday! and this was celebrated with laksa and wine! favourite!!
such a lovely night with lovely people.


however i am frustrated by still the lack of my xbox or money to replace my xbox!!
gaaaaaaaah!
AND that now my back light on my blackberry is not working, so i have an extremely dark screen and can hardly read a thing!
[help!]


i really cant complain about much else. my friends are amazing.
my family are amazing.
my house mates are amazing! i love where i live now! :D


now due to my phone being broken i have no photos to upload...
and im yet to put the photos from my camera onto my computer... but NOW because i have a hard drive i can put my photos on there :D yaaaaay
*happy dance*


photos to come!

boy ban

ok so i have been contemplating the past entry i am going to keep my boy ban!
i am not going to toy with the idea of him any longer as i need to focus on myself.
be selfish and enjoy the things i want without the drama of said situations
distracting me.
i realised im in my last year of uni and there is possibility i wont even be here next year.
ill be working, starting my GNP and soaking up the sunshine in Brisbane.
then the thoughts of joining the army pop into my mind.
an idea ive been playing with since my ED placement.
all of these things are challenges and future possibilities for me and its not fair on myself or the person i may involve if we do start something now.


to be honest, im happy being single.
i was having drinks with a friend last night, and we were discussing relationship issues
and i was actually glad at that moment in time i did not have to worry about anything like that.
unfortunate for my friend however.
there is nothing wrong, at all, to be single.
you can do just as much as any taken individual.
some things can be a little more awkward but can also be rewarding and exhilarating.
i found that taking that step to do things by myself, like go to the movies, can be nice and makes you feel so much more comfortable with yourself!
i appreciate the time i spend with friends but i also appreciate my alone time.
to read, to sleep, to write, to walk, to play, to just think.


i know me better than anyone and i know that im not really ready to be anyone's. 
the idea of having someone is lovely.
and im not against it if the situation arises.
but for now, im happy being me with me and no need for any other.


he is lovely but im not going to hold my breath for anything more. 

1301

my goodness so much has happened in the last week, ive enjoyed an afternoon of baking with Nikki and shared an awesome indian dinner with probably too much wine, i spent an amazing weekend away on a houseboat with the most lovely people and managed to move into a new house as well!

our baking adventures had both its ups and downs. Nikki's cake for the Kombi van unfortunately fell apart, because of the telemarketer interrupting her but its freaking delicious none the less! the cupcakes and cookies turned out amazing but the macaroons also had a less than desirable outcome.

my new house :) with photos of my new room also.

gosh i love it there.

my house mates are so lovely and thoughtful!

Jayke makes me laugh so much and i love hearing him play the piano and sing in the afternoons while he cooks <3

 
my cousin visited me yesterday so i got to spend some quality time with
this little blonde munchkin! gosh i love him!
little jack jack.

once i upload the photos from my SLR onto my computer ill share some of the images from the houseboat.

i am in such a good frame of mind right now, surrounded by positive vibes.

i love it.

the only thing i am confusing myself with is how i feel about him, 

and what exactly we mean to each other.

oh boys.

there is one special boy that i have known for years, and we have always stayed friends.

he is lovely and grown so much as a person, he is enchanting and i swore to myself that i was on a boy ban. but gosh he makes it hard.

sweet texts yet we have both been so busy that we haven't even been able to spend any time together... humph!

i guess we will just have to see how it all pans out, go with the flow.

fingers crossed.

its baking day!

i am spending the day with Nikki (Renee's boyfriend Joel- his sister)
[i really should do a little about them sections, and add all the quirky little things i love about each of my friends...add that to list, check!]
she is adorable!! we are getting our secret squirrel business on today to create some
amazing birthday treats for Renee whilst we are on the house boat this weekend.
we brain stormed some ideas at the derby and im so excited about what we are making.
4 scrumptious little treats for our darling girl.
Nikki has been up early baking the first of our creations..
it will be hard not to take photos and post them straight away!
so stay tuned for the results of this baking adventure!


love and peace, Skye x

5.24am.... wtf?!

i am unable to sleep so i find myself sitting here,

in front of my computer with jam on toast and a cup of tea.

im not sure if it was my lack of dinner last night or the fact im so excited

but i could come to believe it is because..

I HAVE A NEW HOUSE!

as things have not exactly been working out here, well with the amount of the dirt the boys do not see, the lack of respect for my belonging and their owing me several bottles of wine,

i ventured to seek a new residence.

which i have most luckily found and within a week!

speaking to my new house mate Jayke last night, i found out it was either between myself or an adelaide united fan that Jase (the other house mate, yes two boys again) thought could be the kind of person to go through your belongings and sniff your underwear or possibly murder you in your sleep.

i forgot to ask if he wore a bumbag?

safe to say, i am now sitting here in a half empty room, courtesy of Renee,

with a giant smile on my face contemplating my future in this new home.

and it is lovely to say the least! a REAL home. with a real kitchen any everything!

not a [insert renee's description of this house to Jayke, including words like broken down drug house, harsh words but she lives in reality which i have obviously been absent from for too long. i would like to add though, that my room was exempt from that description]

my new room is about a metre and half smaller than my room here and lacking a bay window, but honestly the stress and mess i deal with is not worth keeping this room.

im not 100% sure what Renee's motives were for moving me so quick, it could be the realisation on how much i was stressing about where my bed resides now, the fact she could get her 'Jenga Queen' on and some how pack so much more of my belongings into my car than what i thought possible OR the fact that i am now literally around the corner from her own how, a 2minute car ride? i like the think it is all of the above, and i think she would agree :)

gosh i am so bless to have her, she is absolutely irreplaceable! 

and i dont think i tell her enough how much i 'appreciate yooooou!' x

i owe her more than i can explain especially because she was helping me move from 7pm-12am last night. true friendship right there!

and the fact she gave me a key to her house and is willing to share her internet with me so i dont have to by a dongle... or whatever the portable internet sticks are, warms my heart!!

she never fails to surprise me with her generosity or amazing friendship.

shes definitely a keeper ;)

eventually i will be posting photos not only of the new house, myself in the new house, but also of the boys once i con them into letting me take their photo and post it on the internet..

i dont think either of them will have a problem really.

so yeah, that's on my mind at the moment, as well as how much more money i might be able to get from centrelink because at the moment with work being so slow, i am actually paying my rent and bills with no left over to spare..

ugh the harsh reality of life and how everything must come with a cost.

nevermind, i will get on top of things. 

i think that this step is just an amazing new start and i couldnt be happier right now.

i shall drink my nightcap (lemon and honey tea) and try to get some more sleep.

fingers crossed. x

- shared by a friend on facebook.

break free.

i try to look past the imperfections
to see what is best in those that show the least
to imagine a world that is more beautiful
but i struggle with this mess and haze
the smoke is blinding me
and pulling me down
everything is piling up and all i want to do is tear it apart
the storm is brewing 
the lightening and thunder are creeping forward
my body can no longer resist
as it passes my heart in flames
the throbbing of my throat
to escape in a thrilling scream!
silence..
an aroma seeps through the air
i breathe in the scent
unravelling with no way to stop it
i see another day, 
new light
possibilities that exist
i begin to wonder
i want to stand up for myself and my thoughts
stop those leaving footprints, marking my skin
to take control finally and say stop!
life has been breathed back into me
i am ready for what come next
arent i?
no. i will no longer question my integrity
i leave behind me all that held me back
that has now made me stronger
to look forward to a brighter future
you do not deserve me
and no longer will i succumb to your childish ways
you do not get me back
i deserve better


love.
peace.
happiness?

wall decals

i found an etsy page that has very pretty wall decals.
i wish i had the money to buy one of these for every room..
when i have my own house.
the thing i like about these is that they are removable and dont tarnish your walls.
handy for if you are renting.
check them out, they have mature styles, vintage and kids designs too!
i find them a lovely way to brighten a room and add a bit of art to a space :)
