I want to grow my hair long again! I’m trying to grow out my fringe and I want my hair to be long and luxurious so it will look rad balayage style! Oh yeah.

Anyway, I think it’s been a little while since I’ve written a proper update. I’ve been obsessed with making SocialCam videos (download the iPhone or Android app if you don’t have it already!) and think it’s an easy & effective way to keep my friends back in Adelaide updated with what’s going on in my life. I’ve also met some super lovely and interesting people from all over the world on there. So get on it, if you’re not already!

Wellllll, my job at Subway lasted a whole 2 weeks until I got taken off the roster for being ill (yeah, you heard right). After half a week of being mopey and emo, I landed a job at Wow Sight and Sound! I start properly next week and can’t wait - it’s right up my alley!

Bethany and Josh came to visit and it was lots of fun. I was really sad to see them leave. Only two sleeps until my brother and sister come to visit and just three sleeps until my Mum, Dad, Vince, my car and art supplies arrive. Weeeee!

I have to move, as one of our housemates is allergic to cats but I’ve already sussed out temporary accommodation and (hopefully) a more long term solution as of March (pool included!).

After lots of ups and downs (mostly downs), I feel like everything’s heading UP again! I’m so happy at the moment! :D

After pretty much writing off my whole day due to a particularly nasty hangover yesterday, this afternoon Mike, Motez and I are off to the Gold Coast. Motez has a gig down there and I’m excited for some sun, GC Jersey Shore-types and some chilled cocktails. Whoop whoop!

Creepiest thumbs up ever.

ANYWAY.

I’m super happy because I just got a job! Money problems solved (hopefully!)! I’m going to be a sandwich artist… moving up in the world! It’s not the best pay and it’s probably not going to be the best job, but it’s something to do and a source of at least an extra couple $100 a week which is going to make SO MUCH difference.

I had a free trial at a gym the other day. I’m still sore. So unfit, haha. I’ve been walking daily as well and it’s super hilly around where I live, so my legs/butt are/is sore too.

This weekend is going to be pretty full on. Mike has a DJ friend who is staying with us and we have gigs to go to every night (with free/cheap drinks!). I wish I had something new to wear though.

Nexxxxxt week, I start my job, Paul is coming up for a couple of days and Bethany & Josh are spending the whole weekend with me! :D Can’t wait!!

I’m in such better spirits, can you tell?

Oh my gosh,

I might ACTUALLY be spending my 23rd birthday watching Underoath at Brisbane soundwave with one of my favourite people in the world Kara West.

I’m so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

I REALLY  hope we can make this happen! I love Miss Amy and I haven’t seen her since May! xoxox

I’ve been a bit down in the dumps the last few days. I think this whole being poor/job search cycle is getting to me. I haven’t been out of the house very much by myself, and the more time I’m spending indoors, the harder I’m finding it to go out. HELLO AGORAPHOBIC.

I’m finding myself getting snappy at Mike and I don’t want to be like that. I’m not sure if I’m feeling resentful because he has a job, money, his car, etc and I feel so dependent on him. I spend my days sleeping, job searching, cleaning & repeat. Then when he gets home, I’m always grumpy and annoying. I care about him so much, he’s constantly trying to cheer me up and I’m being a bit of a bitch, so I need to snap out of it!

My wifey/besty Bethany is coming to visit me next weekend - I have that to look forward to! Also, my parents, sister & brother have planned a trip mid-February, they’re bringing up my car, some of my art supplies AND VINCE (!!!) so that’ll be good. I can’t wait to see everyone!

I’m feeling lonely, dependent and stuck in a rut. Need to get myself out of this funk, la la la. I’m going to go and get a free trial for one of the nearby gyms, so hopefully that’ll make me feel better! Blahhhhhhhh.

Aww fanmail is so cute!
Love you Amy xoxoxox 

OH HAI THERE!

It’s been just over a week and a half since I moved to Brisbane, and I’m starting to feel settled. I’m living with my boyfriend and 2 other guys, sleeping in my boyfriend’s room and just last night I finally cleared space in *MY* room so I actually have a room to call my own now. I’m feeling a lot better about that. :)

I have been applying for 5-10 jobs daily and still no luck. I don’t start uni until the last week of February, I don’t have many friends at all up here so I’m going a bit insane not having any money, or really much to do during the day besides cleaning. Now that I have my desk set up though, I’m keen to get into some more arty stuff and also work on some design work for a couple of clients.

I am missing my family and friends like crazy. It actually feels like I’ve been gone for a lot longer. I’m especially missing Vince but hopefully he’ll be coming up soon to keep me company.

Anyway… that’s all for now… I’ll probably make sporadic updates when/if interesting things happen. :)

I think this accurately sums up how drunk we were yesterday. Disgraceful hahaha

Oh yeah, Melbourne Cup, yeah!

I feel like I’m getting back on top of things. I dropped out of uni for the rest of the year because I was fed up with trying to juggle paid/interesting work and non-paid/shit/generic work that I wouldn’t even be able to use in my portfolio. The former won, obviously. I’ve had a new job for just over a month as well. I sell Apple products, it’s fun. I’m getting bored with a lot of the things that have been occupying my time over the past few months and feel like I’m getting my focus back onto things that matter.

I’m sick of disappointing people, but I really do need to put myself first for a change. I’ve spent so long putting other people before me and it hasn’t really gotten me anywhere, I feel more like it’s allowed others to take advantage of me and/or take me for granted.

End rambling… for now.

Pre-Flashdance drinks ;)

I have super hot friends. I love how Tahlia & Ashlee look like sisters instead of me & Tahlia! :p
