See all the trouble you started?

she jumped from roof to roof,
and saw an amazing thing,
the boy from round the way,
with his heart on a string.



eeeeeek! silly, childish love stuff.

Quite all right, but you did give me quite a turn.

if i find a spade big enough, i'll dig a tunnel to your front door.

Excellent, excellent. Now just hop down the chimney and pull that monster out of there.

i so want to wear a flower headdress to some place.
ya think this is a little over the top?

teehee.
LOVE IT.

See all the trouble you started?

I so badly need to go down to the mall to change this heinous skirt i bought on impulse.
and to spend a CNA voucher i found in the back of my cupboard [strange]
and i need to think of a get rich quick scheme.
so i can get rich.

tonight i am headed to Roar in Cape Town to see my friends, Yes Sir! Mister Machine, The Lottery Tickets and This Quilt play...
should be fun.

A few of my favourites out of Antipodiums lastest collection:

Bill, my lad. Have you ever been down a chimney?

lucy can't dance, but she can't concentrate either.
eeeeeeeek!

If you think we're waxworks, you ought to pay, you know

too many people, but not one person.
so afraid of being left out,'
so afraid of coming last,
so afraid of the unknown.

paper birds.
something out of nothing.



> I'm not making sense. I don't want to. I am upset. with you, with them, with her. <

There's only one way to stop a MAD WATCH.

14 days until Christmas.
yippeee.
working on my wish list.
i cut my butt last night.
i slid onto a bench, and onto a piece of glass.
and sliced my butt.
and my pants.

i haven't had ice-cream for so long. and i miss it.

Not me, your grace! The ace, the ace!

The train passed by my window yesterday.
I didn't notice.
Only, now i wish i had.

Can you stand on your head?

{this little girls name is Iza. she is the sweetest thing.}

when did bath time stop being fun?
i guess a lot of things lose their excitement as we get older.
it's sad, really.

If I were looking for a white rabbit, I'd ask the Mad Hatter.

My Grandparents on the night of their engagement.
one day when I'm married, I'd like to be as happy as they are.

I think my gran looks pretty and my Pops, dashing.



I do wish they lived next door so i could hop the fence and visit,
to hear stories about my Pops childhood in Madeira and coming to South Africa alone as a seventeen year old with R50 in his back pocket.
And to bake biscuits with my gran.


Just like when i was a little girl.


-Patterns exam tomorrow,if I fail it,I fail the year. No pressure.-

Who's been painting my roses red?

{not my polaroid}

marry me and build me a tee-pee,
so we can sit in the garden and pretend we are not here.

marry me and write me a song,
so they'll know you loved me long after we're gone.

marry me now.
while I'm still young.
ill make toffee apples and we'll bask in the sun.





[Had my plaster removed today.Seriously hardcore scare left behind...]

Do you suppose she's a wildflower?

Jenny Curran: Why are you so good to me?
Forrest Gump: You're my girl!
Jenny Curran: I'll always be your girl.

Oh, you can't help that. Most everyone's mad here.

I have so much work to do today.
drawing and beading and cutting and pasting.
usually when i have a lot of work, i find other things to do.

like look at blogs and such.

i love these illustrations by Esther Kim

Dear God, make me a bird. So I could fly far. Far far away from here.

so, turns out.
those recurring stomach pains weren't from stress.
my appendix was trying to let me know it needed some time out.
I didn't wanna listen.
so it burst.
spent three nights in the hospital.
but I'll post soon. Just gotta get me better.

i don't know if its the medication or lack of fresh air-but I'm thinking with an Alabama/Texan accent. is that normal?

the grandparents arrive tomorrow. can't wait.

Well, I must say, I've never heard it that way before.

Lately, when i am stressed out, my body reacts by going into distress.
and then i suffer from the most intense stomach pains i have ever experienced.

I have procrastinated and now i have a large sum of work i need to get done.
and my body doesn't like it.

i cannot take it.
