Week One. No idea how much I weigh. Don’t really care about losing weight that much, just want to tone my thighs/stomach/arms. Get rid of my love handles. Get my butt perky again. What better motivation than to post embarrassing pictures online. I’ll post progress shots weekly! #me #fitness #weight #tone #fat #skinny #bodyimage #exercise #healthydiet #challenge (Taken with instagram)

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.

Just fell in love with this ASOS model. I want to look like her!

After spending all day cleaning, my Friday evening so far has consisted of: painting my nails, drinking a lovely cheap rosé, watching lots of episodes of The New Girl and doing minimal graphic design work (which was originally my reason for staying in).

Oh, and I just ordered pizza, so let’s add “getting fat” to the list haha.
