Picture perfect

My last blog "media distortion" got close to two hundred views, most of the traffic coming from the URL www.Facebook.com. So thank you all my Facebook friends who took the time to read something that was rather important to me. Hopefully this blog is a good read to.

How many of you have said or thought at one point, I wish my life were like a movie. I know i have. Lately iv been ahh i guess you could call it, taking it easy. Im waiting for uni to start and apart from going to dancing to teach a few afternoons/evenings a week and doing dance prep I havent really had alot going on. This has made me take full advantage of the shit weather and sit inside a lot watching hopeless soap operas or reality tv series. They include: The entire first and second season of gossip girl (watching them again), Jersey shore, Geordie shore, Shortland street (I know) and Australia: X factor. And Oh Em Gee, because of these bloody programmes I have some seriously loopy thoughts and outlooks on the way my life should be.

Ill start with the one that girls fuss over the most. Romance. Its because of movies like dear john or ten things i hate about you that we have such high expectations with guys. They give love letters, they take you on cute dates and have amazing first kisses in the rain or during paint balling. Unless you have yourself a real charmer most of the time with our age group first kisses are in the middle of the pub dance floor or in the car after hes taken you to cheap Tuesday movies. I think we need to cut guys a little slack cause lets face it, our love lives aren't like that. Maybe if we were around in the 1920s when the words "bang" "smash" and "root" weren't used in sexual terms and guys asked you out on a date. Its called cheesy romance and its great and everything on the movie's but in my own personal opinion its the nice little things like a kiss on the forehead lying in bed thats really amazing. Its not always a happy ending. One word. Reality.

The crazy little bubble that im living in at the moment seems to be that i think every night should be party night. I know I know waaaayyy to much geordie and jersey shore but holey shit they have the time of their lives! I seriously think i could make it big on one of those programmes. I was watching it in bed the other night and didnt even realise that i was bopping up and down when they walked into a club with a cool song. Had to stop myself! Also when i confided in my best friend telling her that i feel like i know them personally and she thought i was nuts i knew id taken it too far. God i sound crazy. Sorry bex but partying cant be done every night in the real life. Theres this thing called money and weekdays and studying.

I think part of the reason girls bitch and argue is because they secretly thrive off it. Nothing better than a little bit of gossip. I even know guys that constantly want "the latest" on everyone. This is all very well until its about you. Gossip girl is a perfect example for people thriving off drama. We watch it (or programmes similar) we love seeing the drama, we love seeing them make up and then we automatically programme our minds to think that thats what should take place in real life with all of us. Just because we see the happy ending on t.v doesnt mean its gunna work out like that for us. We dont have a script to follow like them. There's drama and then there's just plain bullshit drama and most of the time its bullshit drama cause people are bored.

To the guys who are reading and watch these kind of shows purely cause the girls are banging. Sorry that we dont look like that every second of the day. Unfortunately it cost way to much money to have a personal stylist follow us around. But we try :)

Money? Pfft thats no problem!... In movies and T.V series. For us life is about working for money all the time and then dying with none. Unfortunately we arent all from the "upper east side" and cant just go and buy the new couture dress.

Even the X factor made me wanna go and be a rockstar. But thats just a bit of a giggle topic and entirely different matter. Youll see one day when your buying my album on itunes or downloading it illegally. Its on my bucket list and I plan to tick it off.

Thanks for tuning in on the latest you thriving boys and girls.

Xoxo Gossip Girl

Wedding season!

So far this year iv already been lucky enough to be a guest at one of my oldest friends wedding. I grew up with gabby and the day couldnt have been more perfect for her. From the reception decorating to the dress everything suited her amazingly. Now this weekend im attending my other childhood friends wedding. Hayley. Except this time im lucky enough to be a little more involved and do hair and make up for her and her two bridesmaids. I have had a practise trial on hayley and she looked absolutely stunning so i know this is going to be yet another perfect day enjoyed with beautiful friends and family.

Weddings make everyone so happy for the entire day. I love it. Its quite a shame that im never going to have one as iv already decided on becoming the cat lady but nevertheless i will still enjoy being a guest and some day bridesmaid i hope at close friends big day! :)

Remember if your ever in need of a hair stylist and make up artist get in touch with me.

When i grow up!

I think all of us say when we are little what we wanna be when we grow up. And then change it about ten times along the way. Mine was "when i grow up im going to be a school teacher!" id line all my teddies and dollies up, even made my mum buy me a roll book so i could write fake names in it and i popped the lenses out of my sunglasses and wore them as pretend specs.

Now look at me, im at university studying a bachelor of communications hoping to major in radio. Really has nothing to do with teaching. But at the same time i wanna be a hair and make up stylist, a hairdresser, an actor, a dance teacher, an english teacher, an events co-ordinator.. the list goes on. I thought i was starting in the right place. University. I did my first year and achieved good results, started my second year and after the first semester i decided my head was all over the place and uni wasnt good for me. But now im a week away from going back again and this time i think im finally ready after going out and experiencing some full time work.

Full time work, its safe to say, for sure has its ups and downs. The ups being having more money to play around with, the idea of once your shift is finished you dont have to go home and do more work, meeting different people every day and getting life experience under your belt. The downs being having to get up so early every morning, working weekends and not having the option of not going in like you do with uni.

I dont think leaving uni for a semester made me a failure or anything, i leant alot in that time. Full time work is definately hard stuff and i had some time to figure myself out a little more as cliche as that sounds.

The truth is when i come out of uni with a degree i really dont know where it will go from there. I dont even know if this is really what i wanna do but i had to start somewhere and i think i could be good at radio. When you think about it no one goes into a degree knowing its one hundred percent what they are gunna wanna do for the rest of their lives, they are just finding a starting point in a new chapter. Being at uni makes me feel like im doing something useful with my time which is good i just hope its all worth it in the end.

So if anyone is ever unsure about what they are doing, dont worry your not the only one. I wouldnt have a clue what im really good at so iv just picked something i enjoy and gone for it! :)

Happy studying fellow students. Hope uni goes well for you all this year.

Media distortion.

This blog isnt the easiest for me to post but hey ill take a leap and give it a go. Its a blog about what most normal chicks/women worry about. How they look, what they weigh and how other people see them. If you were to ask my group of guy mates and even some of my girlfriends what the most memorable thing about me is they would most likely respond "she has a massive rack". Quite true but doesnt mean i want it to be the most memorable part about me. Im a curvy chick, its in my genes but when my perky friends get more attention than my face i get jealous of them.

Today in the media there is such pressure for girls to be a perfect size 6. Now... people like me trying to squeeze into a six? Its just not gunna happen. Does that make me hideous? Uh no. People that call a size 12 over weight and fat are either drop kick shallow guys that you shouldnt wanna associate yourself with or someone that has a very big insecurity about themself so they try and put the focus on someone else.

I dont think anyone can ever completely love their whole self. (Apart from the most vein bitches out there). Whether it be their nose, their hips their legs or the sound of their voice there is usually always something that someone wishes they could change about themselves. Personally, i put it down to the media painting a picture of how we should be. Well sorry bout it but we weren't put on this world to all be the same.

Im not saying that every size six out there is a skinny bitch that us twelves are jealous of. No not at all, if your a size six thats naturally like that then embrace it girl! Show those legs off. Im just saying if your not meant to be that small its ridiculous to try to be. I know lots of small girls that eat whatever they want and just dont put on weight. You honeys are blessed with an amazing metabolism. However curvy girls also have it going on. Simply look at all the songs people sing or rap about these days: I like big butts and i cannot lie, booty booty booty booty rock it everywhere, you love my lady lumps, my milkshakes bring all the boys to the yard the list goes on.

Point to this blog? All im saying is its pretty hard to walk into a room with confidence when this world is so influenced by the media to be judgemental towards a girls image. I think everyone has atleast one thing about them thats gorgeous and i think whether your a size six or a size 16 your beautiful. Dont believe its not true just because its coming from one of your girlfriends instead of a guy in a club or pub. They are dick heads that go home and only have there hands to keep them happy usually anyway and most of the time those dick heads dont have much to wrap their hands around hence why they are jerks. Compensating for something.

I dunno, think what you want of this. Could be "Shes totally right" or could be "shes only saying this cause shes one of the curvy ones" i dont really care as long as im getting high views :)

Life as we know it.

Was talking to a friend the other day about a couple of problems shes having with life just in general. I was trying to give her some good advice and then i came up with it, so todays blog is short simple and sweet yet if you take what im about to say and give it some thought youll find its completely true and kind of relieving as well.

Life takes time. Dont rush it. Because if we got everything done in the first couple of years of adulthood then we would have nothing to look forward to later on in life. We have a check list almost. Fall in love, get a degree, buy a house, get married, travel, have kids, get a career. That check list isnt a race against yourself. Itll all happen in due course. If we rush it or force it then it wont happen how its supposed to.

I was pretty impressed that i could come up with such shit. Buts its true shit.

Im Baaaaaaaaack!

Yo yo my fellow homies. Welcome to 2012, the year we all die. But personally i dont believe in all that bullshit so hey lets get on with it. Break new years resolutions in the first three months, make more mistakes so at the end of the year we can promise to never do them again, gain friends, fight with family members and heres my favourite, get drunk! This year will be a goodie for me im hoping as im turning twenty one, going back to uni and getting my name well known.. no not like that. I mean get it out there for my hair and make up business i have going on. Its spreading like an STD and i couldnt be more proud :)

Still single. Tried dating a couple of idiots and realised i was way to cool for them so moved right along. Still have the same friends and they are still nuts. Living at home again to save money but works out good cause the food is amazing. Still teaching dancing.. so really life is STILL the same but i still call myself one of the luckiest girls in the world.

Pointless thoughts iv had this year so far:
1. As cute and funny as ashton kutcher is he will never replace charlie on two and a half men.
2. Friends should never be just a convenience thing.
3. My cat is definately going to kill me because i try and cuddle her to much.
4. Nothing sucks more than a moment during an argument that you realise you are very very wrong.
5. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
6. The only time i look forward to a red light is when im trying to finish an important text.
7. Bad decisions make great stories.
8. Whenever im facebook stalking and find out their profile is public im like a kid on xmas morning. 700 Photos? Dont mind if i do!
9. I think the freezer deserves a light as well. Its hard to find the icecream at one am in the morning!
10. How many times is it appropriate to say "what?" in a conversation before you just nod and smile because you still didnt hear what they said?

Hmmm well theres the first blog of the year done. Many more to come.. maybe. Cheers :)
