| thinking about a few girly thoughts aloud |
[09 Nov 2006|02:53pm] |
so lately (unconsciously) i've been immersing myself in the arms of wonderful, talented and beautiful women!
sofia coppola
nikki gemmell
audrey hepburn (as always ♥)
tori amos
natalie portman
yes, even kylie minogue
admiration for: anita jacoby & meryl streep
it could be this period of my life where i am yearning for some reassurance for my actions to be individualistic, to be unhindered by chauvinistic males, to be able to be the girl that i want to be; have an education, to pursue her interests, to work creatively for herself and her friends, be a daughter, partner, careerist and friend, have the ability to be independent and self reliant and hopefully have the capability to look after those around her (to participate in the community).
i guess this is the kind of attitude my dad would be proud of. my dad is a feminist after all!
( question + answer (if you're a girl, maybe you'd like to give these a go!) )

i've been asked by a friend to accompany him to spring racing at randwick. should i go?
it'll cost so much $$$!!
- new hat
- new frock
- new shoes
- new bag
and i am not even betting on anything.
...but i really want to go.
( i want to wear this dress with a tiara hairclip...or something like it )
at three o'clock i'm going to the city for dinner and youth group.
tomorrow i have work from 12-5 and dinner & a movie (maybe) or window shopping with mitchell and a visit to his new home! and guess what? i only have $25! for this weekend and uni two days next week (including transport costs) :(
does anyone know any cheap-skate tricks?
"MUUUUUUUUUUUM NEED MONEY!"
i liked this look so much i took some photos, i just couldn't resist!
knee high socks with a knee length 'parachute' denim skirt (because it's so floaty and bubble-like), tight black tee with a vintage belt around the waist and jewellery (and a six button black jacket if it gets cold)
( knee high ♥ )

aw, this shih tzu puppy is so adorable. i want to squeeze him to death!
if this puppy was mine, i'd call him alexander (the great) ! and he will go on lively adventures with me, trekking through the bush, twisting in and around the great wall of china, hiding in my backpack through mongolia, seeing the fireworks in amsterdam, hopping into a parisian cab in louis vuitton, nuzzling blueberries in the english countryside, stopping at central park zoo in new york to see alexander's furry friends, having brunch in the ivy los angeles, hot springs in japan, biking it in india...
we will conquer the world we will, with a marc jacobs carry all tote, nikon digi cam and a visa card.

I WANT A GRAND ADVENTURE! SOMETHING NEW, SOMETHING ODD TO SEE & DO!
to be able to write, take photos, see friends and go somewhere we've never been with only a map, some money and lot's and lot's of soul.
next christmas i am going to dare myself to buy a plane ticket and jump into a different country with a couple of friends and do something fucking crazy. anyone here want to jump into our parents' car, drive up to the airport, board an international flight and go up up up and away?
p.s. back here in the sydney cbd, i want to go out and experience culture somewhere closer to home. i want to go see the great wall of china exhibition at the powerhouse museum. should i take my parents? go it alone? take a friend? go with a couple of friends? would you like to come?

my dad's computer does not have msword so i am typing away at wordpad which = times new roman, no bold, no double spacing, borders, footnotes or page outlines. i have to use my dad's computer because i have to access internet pdf files and my dad's laptop which i use (which has msword) does not have internet connection so i cannot use it. dad needs to get some technology updates happening!
i've been living off dial up internet for four years now, i feel so old :( i still use my sony walkman. again, i feel so old :(
i remember when i was in high school last year and i used to go the school library with friends, and i always wondered if anyone was going to steal my walkman if i left it in my bag outside. do you think anyone would steal a walkman? i always thought it'd be an oddity if one did. the only valuable thing my walkman would contain would be my mixtape but then again, what fourteen year old teenage girl into rihanna & paris hilton would like listening to indie-punk radio show reruns from two weeks ago? by the way, are walkmans still in production? last time i looked, they were selling at kmart for $13, and one can purchase a discman at a minimum from jb hi fi for $20.
it's so sad, even video tapes are becoming extinct!
video tapes, movies. there are so many movies i want to see: (here are a few i can list right now, in 3 secs)
funny face - starring audrey hepburn
my fair lady - audrey hepburn
the virgin suicides - again
reality bites
mona lisa smile
the devil wears prada - again
the departed
marie antoinette
children of men
anyway, i have a 2,500 - 3000 word essay due on tuesday.
last time i checked i have written only 318 words and it's 3:36am.
social policy should die!

lately, i have been reading captivating by john & stasi eldredge, a book a friend had given to me for my birthday. i wouldn't call it fiction, and it wouldn't be a memoir entirely. a work of non-fiction, yes. some may even call it a self-help book. but it has been one of the most truthful books i have ever read. besides being philosophically challenging in a religious sense, it discusses the core of females; why they feel and think the way they do. at times it can be incredibly, 'positive' with over-usage of nouns; 'wonderful', 'beautiful', 'lovely' which made me grit my teeth, not that females are not wonderful, beautiful, lovely, charismatic, troubling or broken (to name a few negative perceptions), but such words can make one a cynic and form a conception of the book's authors as liars or too overly optimistic. but despite this, the book delivers some truths about females and why they are (i) insecure, (ii) always feeling the need to fill a void in their heart, to feel loved, wanted and beautiful (iii) why they are subject to attention from their partners, (iv) how they work to fill up the void in their heart and why it never completely satisfies their longing for intimacy. with the inclusion of personal memoirs, the book assists the reader in understanding the points presented and how it has related to realistic circumstances. i have yet to finish this book and i have absolutely no idea why i am typing out a review when i haven't even finished the book and still have 2,682 words to write up for my essay. in concluding, 'captivating' is a nice name for a book and certainly, captivating it is.
you know what would be just looov-erly? a kitten. a cute little kitten of my own. or a cute little puppy who likes to smile a lot, or just one that looks overly optimistic. i want a miniature pet i can take care of. although a more practical pet for me right now would be a tamagotchi.
p.s. i bought a 24k gold eyelash curler, i don't know why i couldn't have bought a 'normal' silver one for eight dollars.
p.p.s. aim: finish up to 1,000 words minimum before 7 am. i am too lenient on myself *sigh*

hello,
i feel pretty good today even though it's awfully cloudy. i woke up this morning at 8am and i was so going to be late for school. :( it's not my fault, my new haircut needs taming. i love spending time to curl it. it's so time consuming and high maintenance but i really do love it.
guess what? i forgot to hand in my reference list for my psychology lab report last week. the tutor just told me today. she said i might lose a few marks. how awful! but as consolation, she said she liked my report. mmm. hope it is ok.
i got to see my friends today and i always love seeing them, and my dad wrote me an absence letter for my social policy tutor tomorrow. daddy is wonderful even though i wasn't sick last week when i missed class. i just hate those two hours i spend at social policy class. so boring!
but look, isn't this the cutest look ever? black tights underneath a gray pleated skirt with a black t-shirt and silver jewellery. ♥

bonjour, je sens que l'assez bon bien que c'est terriblement nuageux. je me suis réveillé ce matin à 8am et j'étais si allant être en retard pour l'école. :( ce n'est pas mon défaut, ma nouvelle coupe de cheveux a besoin d'apprivoiser. j'aime passant du temps pour le boucler. c'est si le temps consommant et l'haut entretien mais je l'aime vraiment.
que deviner-il? j'ai oublié de remettre ma liste de référence pour mon rapport de laboratoire de psychologie la semaine dernière. le professeur m'a dit juste aujourd'hui. elle a dit que je pourrais perdre quelques marques. comment terrible! mais comme la consolation, elle a dit qu'elle a aimé mon rapport. mmm. espère c'est bien.
j'ai obtenu pour voir mes amis aujourd'hui et je toujours aime voir les, et mon papa m'a écrit une lettre d'absence pour mon professeur de politique social demain. le papa est merveilleux bien que je n'étais pas malade la semaine dernière quand j'ai manqué la classe. je juste déteste ces deux heures que je dépense à la classe de politique sociale. si ennuyant!
mais le regard, ceci n'est pas le regard le plus mignon jamais? noir tendu au-dessous d'une jupe plissé grise avec un tee-shirt noir et au-dessous des bijoux argents. ♥

dear audrey!
you have influenced my life so much over the past couple of weeks in such a positive way (excluding your smoking habit). your films, your style, your persona although i'd be blaspheming if i ever said i truely knew you because i don't know you at all and i never will, not even close. but you allowed me to dream, to believe in them, to believe in myself and to grow into a girl i thought i'd never be. this year has been so hard, sometimes i felt like i lost everything, everyone but the characters you played for 109 minutes as either truman capote's holly golightly, sabrina, princess anne, eliza doolittle or jo stockton have helped me see the beauty and the realism of life, and never to forget to smile and dream.
thank you!
your presence will never be missed in my life.
if i ever have a little girl i want to call her audrey, it is such a pretty name for a pretty girl.
love,
priscilla
p.s. i have a crush on george peppard and it's all your fault.
