Things I Love Thursday
[ 4 March 2010 ]
Okay, putting the finishing touches on this as quickly as possible given I just took a Sudafed & know I am going to be a complete space cadet in 5… 4… 3…
What’s on my list of intergalactic treasures this week? (Let’s dive for sunken pleasure!)
Having a personal trainer!
I think I am a convert. (Uh oh.) I kinda feel like I have tried everything else & this is the thing that makes the most sense to me. It makes such a difference to have someone who
a) can instruct you properly
b) gives you tasks
c) encourages you
d) won’t let you give in
e) you are accountable to
f) you have a regular “date” with.
In my first proper session I did THIRTY PUSH-UPS, are you kidding me, I had no idea I could do that many because normally I just collapse into a little puddle! Yes, I am still in agony & can hardly take my clothing off, but it is irrelevant! I can feel it working! It’s happening babe, it’s finally happening! So excited!
Little rituals...
Like lighting candles when The Dish gets home, going to get coffee together & kissing goodbye on the corner, et cetera. It might sound boring but having little routines makes me feel really good.
My friends...
Because they are so brilliant & diverse & they make me smile. I love that even though I don’t see them every day, when we do see one another, we make it count. I love looking forward to having them visit New York & I love it when we meet up in other cities. I love planning adventures with them & I love even more when the adventures come to fruition! It took me a long time to meet a big handful of people who I really connect with, which makes me appreciate them even more. Major love!
Les honourable mentions: Email from my friend Ed who I am staying with in Texas which simply says: “Excitement building. Eek!” & my response: “YAY!!!! ME TOOO!!!!!!”; “I’m going to take a shower, don’t touch my trap”; San Pellegrino Aranciata (some of my favourite words in the English… um, Italian… language); browsing through bookstores & running my fingers along the spines (I forgot how much I missed it!); looking forward to fairy times with Angeliska; The Dish The Dish The Dish; a huge (I really do mean huge) guacamole delivery which resulted in me gobbling it ALL WEEKEND; packages when you aren’t expecting them; hot pink dangly gun earrings; Tool Academy followed by Iconoclasts; Shutter Island (any movie that has you discussing it all the way back to the house is a good one); Daft Punk; pink sparkly bikinis & glitter-covered Oxfords; In The Meantime; cleaning & getting rid of (read: putting into storage) the stuff I don’t need any more (feels so good!); Jurassic 5; huge oversized bow headbands; see also oversized sunglasses; daytime napping with Hank Williams; polka-dot shoes; “you must have had the devil for a stepfather”; watching Secret Diary Of A Call Girl & eating really good sandwiches (with chipotle & avocado & tomato, mmmm); The Millionaire Matchmaker; cozy lounge & athletic wear from The Gap; when friends call you just to chat; stashing chocolate bars in my desk drawer; putting “le” in front of everything (it is more fun that way, & by “it” I mean “life”); all you can eat tacos (see also tacos über alles); Found magazine; putting all my jewellery in a massive glass candy jar; that “pastel hair” is “in”; watching Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle & wanting to learn to ride a dirtbike SO BADLY; my virtual assistant (hello I love you), & did I mention The Dish?
“Celebrate what you want to see more of.” — Tom Peters
P.S. This is my song of the day:
What’s filling your galaxy with wonder this week? Consider this more official Radical Self Love homework! Don’t make me get my whip!

finally having sunshine here in the uk!; browsing bookshops; #radicalselflove; the style evolution i am currently in the midst of!; my beloved iPOD touch; feeling like my life just keeps getting better; getting excited to do exercise (who’d have thought it?!); having wonderful friends; applying for my dream course (fingers crossed!); finding the perfect foundation; my gorgeous doggy; ‘if we ever meet again’ by timbaland; the endless inspiration from the blogosphere.

I love the pair of tickets & 3D glasses in my bag right now anticipating the midnight premiere of Alice in Wonderland!
the sun finally shining here in DC, my 2 best friends in Upstate NY, my determination, David and Charles, and finally smiling again.
I’m loving the photo of ‘Joy’ in Carnaby Street. I think that the photographer is from my home city of Brighton, UK.
You would love Brighton Gala, my darling, love it. I swear x
I know I would be more committed to exercise with a personal trainer. I am horrible at motivating myself to exercise.
Unfortunately I cannot afford one. I can’t even afford to join a gym. Yay for hula hoops!
the only thing i gotta say: LEGENDARY PINK DOTS, OH YEAH!
Today I love that I am laying on the floor, making maps.
I’ve been craving avocados all week, guacamole sounds so good…
I love the concert tickets that are by my desk, and the record that is waiting for me at home, the sunshine, warmer weather, my new shoes and I love, love, love the Troggs
FIRST, starting a blahhhhg!
zeolitefuhrman.blogspot.com/
(It’s just a baby)
SECOND, the epic flower headdress I made for the Satyricon-themed party we are having tonight.
THIRD, winning $2000 for an English paper I wrote.
FOURTH, my mom for bringing me giant vanilla muffins from home.
Honorable mentions are: the prospects of going to Brooklyn over spring break and getting my roots redone.
Heh, I think I need a personal trainer, or perhaps some form of drill sergeant – I have so many good intentions about exercise but I quit at the first sign of pain or slight tiredness!
Secret Diary of a Call Girl is ace, I’m totally addicted to it!
My TiLT is here: sparkleandglitter.co.uk/2010/0…
having my FIRST giveaway ever on my blog! (I love picking out presents & making packages for others!)

-my fiance’s new facial hair being all scratchy-scratchy
-spring approaching!!
this week i am LOVE LOVE LOVING:
european anticipation amidst much “concern” & criticism from family & friends, i have accepted a year-long au pair job in copenhagen! i’ve never been to europe and speak ZERO danish, & i know watching three little ones will be a handful, but this is something i’ve always dreamed of doing & now it is HAPPENING BABY! ahhh! i simply cannot stop daydreaming about traipsing through the city streets in delightful little outfits & having mini-adventures everyday. i am determined to be fashion-queen of the au pair world (or at least MY world!) :D
my ability to make things happen i was able to procure a temporary job to earn a little money before i move continents in approximately TWENTY HOURS from application to offer of employment (in a tiny, tiny town no less). this just reinforces in my mind the fact that if i want something i know i can make it happen. my mom says it’s because i “live a good life”, but i think it’s just because i honestly 100% believe in myself. MAD SELF LOVE, yo.
eating well days when i subsist on greek yogurt, honey, fresh fruit & veggies make me feel radiant & healthy & just plain good.
staying positive in the face of harsh & hurtful words (from family, no less), remaining calm & collected & taking the high road is a tough job but immensely satisfying. also, smiling despite a possible illness is an everyday challenge but a necessary one.
nature the beauty of winter never ceases to inspire awe in me!
future scheming brainstorming ideas for future business endeavors (in the bathtub, natch) is endlessly fun & stimulating.
lots of other things, including “cold weather music” (yes, in my mind there is such a thing), reading by the fire, steaming cups of coffee with almond creamer, blankets & slippers, trying new recipes, snuggling with the pup, drinking lots & lots of water, bright sunshine on crisp mornings, fresh country air, inspiration in general, plotting style concepts, tv documentaries, MURRAY HEWITT (fave EVER, hands down), & grey skies.
whoa, that’s a LOT of lurve this week. fairly self-indulgent too, but if not during RADICAL SELF LOVE WEEK, then when? :D
I took a personal day from work today and slept in until 10:30. Fabulous. I also discovered there’s a Madewell store like 40 minutes from me so I’ll probably be going over there to check it out later. Woooo!
Coffee, watching people do ridiculous dances to luau music (you had to be there), that when my camera was getting lens errors (sadness!) the boyfriend was able to fix it for me (happiness!), Purple & Yellow, earrings that dangle, hoods.

-You are! Your posts are reminding me just how much I really love myself and my life even though it’s far from perfect!
-Getting to see Alice in Wonderland at midnight tonight. I’m sick and on 4 different medications until the 10th (I’m getting my tonsils out, eeps!) but absolutely nothing can stop me from seeing this!
-Setting up reward systems to get stuff done (ie, I don’t get painkillers in the morning until I do my homework and get dressed for class or I don’t get a break from sewing until I finish hand hemming)
Finally accepting this break up, taking time for myself, jay z and swizz beats, eating tons of sunflower seeds, my new hair color, ice cold water, jelly belly jelly beans, regular manicures, looking for paintings at thrift stores. My roomie and i are going to las vegas in two weeks!!! SO excited!
My lovely boyfriend Tommy, the lovely meal we’ll be having tonight, all the birthday parties the lovely Shauna at work arranges for everyone, cherry Slushees!, lebanese food at my local cafe, Innocent veg pots, mini eggs, prosciutto and palma ham, my boots, chunky monkey ice cream, the bacon sarnies Tommy makes me, Alice in Wonderland 3d staff preview tonight! and peri peri chicken (although even mild is too hot for me). I also love how much my TILT is about food this week!
my birthday :), my new blonde hair, watching good old school movies (Splendor in the Grass, however bittersweet, is fantastic), finally getting some semblance of warm weather, delicious doughnuts, Frank Turner (youtube him! good stuff), getting back into politics, & my favorite NBC shows coming back on tonight!
Moosh moosh moosh!
Guacamole delivery? Um, are you serious?
That would kid of make my life complete- if I had a little guy that brought me guacamole EVERY DAY! Eeee!
I can’t wait to see you too, sweet bunnyhead! We are gonna have magical times indeed.
Here’s my TIT, mm-mmm-mm: – Peachyblossoms on my peachtrees! – daffodils in my garden! – poppies popping up! – Um, Spring! Can you tell I’m freaking excited? – My puppy-friends (always, always) – Manifesting magic things for the future – Lighting cobalt blue candles + making it happen! – Meditating on love before sleep – Ginger-honey-yogurt granola right now – Massive amounts of free sushi! – Reducing my wardrobe by half! – Metallic green strappy vintage heels! Beetle shoes!
Okay, that’s what I got for the moment. Feel better, you! xoxoxo A.

So, I just published my first TILT list in weeks. It felt good to write one again!
Also, I am experimenting with possible magic pills. I will keep you posted! I remember when you were posting all the magic things you were finding.

Hello! I’m in a really good mood on this Thursday evening. Why? Well:
1. Soy cinammon hot chocolates, made from scratch in my kitchen.
2. A new (and very awesome) flatmate will be moving in with me in 2 weeks.
3. Plans involving homemade cake (and afternoon tea at posh hotels) for this weekend!
4. A sense of accomplishment for pushing through moments of weakness.
YAY.
I looooooove that song.
** Having out-of-town guests staying with me!
** Meeting someone for the first time and immediately becoming BFFs!
** Seeing NYC through the eyes of someone who’s never been here before!
I LOVE my friends and I LOVE this city!
That is all. :)
Happy Thursday, everyone!

Sending said mantra to my friend I’m visiting in L.A. and his response: “I feel infinite and you are an omen in the wind. I can feel you getting closer. It makes me excited!!!”
Changing habits.
Best girl-friends, with no jealousy or competition, for the first time in my life really.
The sunset I can see through these ancient-looking barred windows right now.

“Me Time”. I’ve been a little low on free time lately, so I use my downtown-traffic filled commutes as chill time. I crank up my radio and screech out every song at the top of my lungs.
Spring Break. Tomorrow is the last day that I have work or school until the 15th! Ahh I’m so excited! I’ve begun planning – I will be using every second of this break to my advantage.
My New-Old Car. 1967 Ford Mustang. It’s light blue. I’m in love.
Springtime Anticipation. I am so ready for warm weather.
Plans. I have a zillion fantastic ideas floating around in my head. Ready to get going!
My Peoples. I am so lucky to have so many amazing people in my life. Even when I am cranky with sleep deprivation and can’t spend much quality time with them, they are always there for me. Thanks guys, I love you.

Shutter Island… I need to see it!
TiL..Lately.

+ School mascots
I will recommend not to hold off until you earn enough cash to order all you need! You should just take the <a href=“http://lowest-rate-loans.com/topics/home-loans”>home loans</a> or just financial loan and feel yourself fine
I’m seeing Alice in Wonderland tomorrow!; going out for dinner with my buds on Monday night and spending all evening talking about sex; scoring myself a date to watching Alice in Wonderland in 3D next week (I’m only eeing 2D tomorrow); my bloody Cosmo magazine finally arrived today; the day I was dreading passed without incident; phone call crying to my gay boyfriend who is such a sweetheart and helped me put myself back together; rain today!; I got a rave review for my proposal for Extension English 2; a friend’s 18th on the weekend (cake and drink and trashy music!); vodka; school photos on Monday and my class dressed up like dorks for a muck-up photo; spending an insane amount of time throwing balled up paper at our Video Conference cameras and giggling like maniacs every time the teacher didn’t notice.
I know what you mean about friends life gets so busy but I always look forward to catching up with my friends and make the most of every moment
Lighting candles first thing in the morn (blueberry this week!) which reminds me to be in the moment, catching up with old friends who I haven’t seen since primary school, giving back, volunteering at my uni’s food co-op and meeting some rad people, catching the early train, spending a night studding my new boots, an arvo talking about crushes, strangers who smile at you, my lovely doggies who I come home and cuddle after a day of uni & rain, dressing in whatever I feel like!
mine is here _ I keep it on my blog now, it feels so good!
I love that I have put on 5 kilos, much needed. I love that I have gotton rid of negative people, and I love that I have taken a few steps to make my life easier… Next week I am hoping by the end of the week I would have maximised making my life as easy as possible. Less Clutter, more fruits, more vegies, more exercise, doctors check up, sorted out finance situations (will be over tomorrow morning yay), going to start a saving plan for travel, and work my ass off at second year uni.
I love long hair, and perfectly arched eyebrows, and facial piercings on boys, and glasses on boys, and kissing a friend of 7 years, and it feeling completely right. Completely and utterly right. I like that I will be starting my online magazine, and how much I love my friend in germany despite all his faults. xoxoxoxox
It’s been a fab and full-on week but here we go!
-kittens! my cat has had kittens and yesterday was the first day that they were out and about on their own. I am loving their furry kisses and being able to fit all six of them into my lap when they all fall asleep in a pile.
-writing. I am writing a script for a friend and it is going swimmingly. My mind is just snapping, crackling and popping with ideas. – going to see alice in wonderland with my favorite guy on Sunday. – orange eyeshadow. Whoda thunk it? It actually looks really great blended with gold tones and makes my blue eyes pop. – my little brother, who is doing so well during his first week living on his own.
Things I love Thursday? MY BUSINESS WEBSITE IS NOW FINALLY UP AND RUNNING!!! I have taken a huge leap of faith this year and have invested a lot of time and money officially getting it off the ground- please check out my new makeup website darlingartistry.com.au and have a look! (Incidentally, I named my business in honour of Gala Darling, who inspired me to make a massive change in my life and I am eternally thankful :) )
