Things I Love Thursday
[ 12 March 2010 ]
So sorry this is a day late!!!
Happy Phagwah!
Last Sunday, Chloe & Krysti & I went to celebrate Holi in Queens. I have lots of pictures & stuff to show you, hold please! [Insert the dulcet tones of Barbara Streisand here.]
Being a gym bunny!
(Hop hop!) Okay, so I now do 30 push-ups every time I go to the gym. (Twice a week.) I find this completely amazing! My trainer is rad & we talk about music, & he is optimistic & cool. I can feel myself getting stronger & my inner resolve strengthening. I love pushing myself beyond what I think I can achieve. Honestly I love love love going to the gym (& I would bet money that I am the only person who goes there wearing false eyelashes). It is kind of making me feel nuts that I have to miss two sessions next week!
Seeing friends who live elsewhere!
Yay! I don’t get to see Stef very much, but he was in town playing a show on Tuesday so we took the opportunity to go shopping, get pizza slices & enjoy the spring weather. Later that night I saw him, Dessa Darling & Astronautilus perform at the Bowery Ballroom (A+++) & they were completely brilliant. Hopefully I will see him again soon. Fingers crossed for Soundset 2010! (Finally!) The kid’s still on tour so for God’s sake, go & see him! Now I’m in Austin staying with my friend Ed (who I met at Burning Man in 2006!) & it’s so good to get caught up on all our news & life changes! Soon I’ll get to see Angel, Amelia, Tina, Violet etc. & I’m so thrilled!
Fantastic new projects in the works!
Honestly, couldn’t be more excited. Just you wait!
Honourable mentions: Stephen Colbert performing magic tricks!; arm/leg/dog piles; LE DISH; not sneezing; oversized earrings; pumpkin soup!; ahahahahahaha!; being played cheesy Christmas songs to illustrate a point; Boingo wifi (a lifesaver in airports, especially with the prevalence of delayed flights); the woman who checked me in to my SouthWest flight who talked my ear off about Peter Pan (happens a lot with my surname); Blistex Lip Medex (new favourite lip balm, it actually !!!works!!! & is a vast improvement on anything else I have ever used. Even better, I bought it on a total whim); new towels; drinking tomato juice with ice on the plane (I only ever order water, apple or tomato juice on a plane for some reason, & I love it); xo texts; laughing at Entourage on the plane; excitement over my SXSW schedule (Melissa Auf der Maur, Born Ruffians, Dustin O’Halloran, Motörhead [?!], Hudson Mohawke, Nas & Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley, Flying Lotus, Nicole Atkins featuring Future Clouds and Radar, Kam Moye aka Supastition, Nappy Roots, Ninjasonik, GZA, The Crystal Method, Sage Francis, The Glitch Mob, Classixx (DJs For The Night), Mayer Hawthorne & The County, David Dallas, Metric, Raphael Saadiq, Team Facelift, Jimmy Gnecco, Blue Scholars, Redman, Kristen Schaal, Pharoahe Monch, Theophilus London, Anti-Pop Consortium, The xx, B T, Daedelus, Hole [WHAT], & The Very Best, not to mention the myriad of panels, talks, madness etc.!), my new skull sweater; “I actually prefer R&B to hip-hop” “Oh yeah, who’s your favourite?” “Boyz II Men”; when planes begin their descent; noise-cancelling headphones; brass knuckle zipper pulls; 11 hour sleeps; “I feel like you need to be supervised. I feel like… I’m dating the Ritalin Kid”; voodoo chicken sandwiches & cinnamon apple pie & warm weather…
I read this in Southwest Airlines Spirit magazine last night & had to share it!
Grateful people reported feeling 25 percent more happiness & energy & 20 percent less envy & resentment in several recent studies at the University of California. They also slept 10 percent longer each night & exercised 33 percent more if they wrote down what they felt thankful for. “Gratitude,” Lyubomirsky says, “is an antidote to negative emotions.”
So of course I’d love to hear what’s making you really happy this week!
Additionally, YO! I am in Texas! I’m here for SXSW Interactive, Music & Film until the 20th! I’m not going to be posting every day, but if you want to know what I’m up to, you can always follow me on Twitter! If you’re here too, you should definitely come & see my session Selling Subculture Without Selling Out!
We should resume our regular schedule in a little over a week’s time… Much love!
Love & love & love,

abolutely everything made me happy this week…it was imperfectly perfect and i love it…and tomorrow i celebrate my two week anniversary as a newlywed…it still feels so weird and AMAZING...just amazing…my husband is amazing…
sigh and a smile
I’m thankful that I finally got my tonsils out! I’ve needed them out since I was 7, I’m now 19. I can already feel the difference in my energy levels, and I can’t wait till the healing period is over so I can reap all the benefits of my new life! :]
I love the stats on gratitude! Definetely going to work on that :)
.diet dr.pepper . The new Gorillaz video . a little girl randomly throwing me a kiss at Target yesterday :) . extra foamy expresso . the cute messages on the inside of Dove chocolate wrapping. Bumping into someone after months of not seeing them and having them squeeze me and shout “oh I love you! I’m so glad you’re back in my life!” . middle of the night cuddling with the hubs . the fact that I haven’t yet given up on my plans for an amazing 2010!

It’s actually Friday here but I need this!
This week I have been loving: books, fountain pen filled up with ink, trying to write neatly (and mostly failing, but hey!), family, the blue butterfly brooch I’ve had since childhood, charity shop clothes, my big purple-velvet bag, wearing nail polish, pink eyeshadow, blogs, my local library, the charity shop I volunteer in and my fellow volunteers and funny customers, rediscovering old jewellery, parcels, saving beautiful pictures to my hard drive, listening to positive/uplifting/inspiring podcasts over and over until I start to memorise bits of them, not eating any chocolate (I’m going cold turkey because I’d started to need to eat a lot again for it to taste good – it’s going to be so amazing when I get an Easter Egg!), drinking warm water, boots, my bed, making plans.
And many more things :)
Yarrrrr, Motorhead! You’ll have a blast! (apart from Melissa, that’s the only name I recognise on the list – I’ve seen them twice and they’re awesome)
I’m thankful for an opportunity I can’t reveal yet, but it’s a big dead for me and a step toward my dream!

What subculture are you going to be representing? Sounds like a cool panel. :)
Love the photos. And your positivity :)
Motörhead! My friend’s band opened for them in the UK last year, they said it was “mental.”
Things I’m lovin’ this week: SPRING BREAK, friendly bartenders, fancy cheese, new umbrella, running out doors in a beautiful Victorian cemetery, new bedsheets, homemade graham crackers, eggs and soldiers for breakfast, planning a ginormous easter brunch. So much on the up and up!
Gala you can’t be a gym bunny unless you wear bunny ears to the gym! Anyway, here’s what I love this week:
the adorable hobo kitten that stayed with us for a few days, hanging with randy, swordfights, warriors, listening to Emilie Autumn recite poetry in my room, nice dreams, party planning, birds tweeting, reading in my room, waking up early, wonderland, doing tarot readings for new clients, making new friends, the law of attraction in action, daydreaming of a disney vacation to germany, attending tea parties, wonderland wackiness, dressing up, mushrooms, watching movies, my new Forest Green victorian ottoman that I carried home in the rain, a corset & tutu. school daze, painting my nails ‘Cheshire Cat Colored’, all things alice, art classes, old friends, new friends, fun, fairy blessings, curse words written in cursive
Devendra Banhart, having my first tattoo finished!! It’s beautiful, and I finally got it done because of Radical Self-Love, so thank you Gala! Good coffee, meeting my new boy’s mom for dinner (aah!) but having it go well, new books, rearranging my bedroom, the aforementioned boy, being lazy on my spring break, a local Buffalo restaurant that has awesome vegetarian/vegan fare called Amy’s Place, seeing my best friend tomorrow for the first time in months!!, splurging and treating myself to new clothes, new shoes, and a new iPod (I haven’t had one in years!). It’s a blue nano, and I named it Sexypants. Basically I just love my life!! :)
I’m super thankful for a Twitter friend giving me her SXSWi badge. I’m excited to listen and think and get inspired and meet new people thinking new thoughts! Hope you enjoy our beautiful weather — make sure you smell some of the mountain laurels that just bloomed, they’re another of my favorite things. They smell just like grape soda!
I’m excited to check out your panel and spend a few days among people who are daring to do what I’m starting to believe is possible — find meaningful work that also pays. ;]
well, a short but happy list:
—> My blahhhg: for real!! It’s just a baby, but one week down and I love having a place to write about shit and post my photos on a blank space.
zeolitefuhrman.blogspot.com/
(in case you were curious ;)
—> Being home: my family rules so hard. So do new clothes.
—> Flavored chapstick: well, I discovered some from middle school. I guess I bought it for kissing games.
—> Thesis progress: It feels like I’m writing a book on incredibly dense subject matter, but I am making progress! Especially thanks to the SelfControl mac application I downloaded, which lets you block specific websites you procrastinate on. Gold.
—> Minimal techno: just because.
I love that I got to see my boyfriend (who live in SC and I in TX) for a week….he is amazing!!
I have a wonderful family who loves me and gives me support each and every day.
I have wonderful friends.
I love glitter and hot pink lipstick.
And Gala, so glad to hear you are in Texas…you aren’t far away from me, as I am in Houston. And yes the weather is beautiful. You should some drive to Houston for the Rodeo, it is the world’s biggest rodeo…and soo fun!!
You are wonderful ;0)
-Paige
I’ve certainly found that participating in TiLT each week helps me feel more optimistic and “bouncy”!
Your SXSW panel sounds really interesting, is it going to be available Online either in video or transcript form at all? It’s the type of subject area I love to geek about, I’m dying to attend myself sometime, possibly in a year or two!
My TiLT is here: sparkleandglitter.co.uk/2010/0…
Well I woke up ill today & haven’t done a TILT in over a year, so maybe it’s time.
Today (two days late, oops) I am grateful for:
• A lovely night with friends, a red satin 50’s dress, vegan thai food ...
• My gallerist liking the work I’ve made recently for his show.
• The feeling that i have been working very, very hard since graduating and that this will beget more lovely things.
• Early early planning for the move to London all by my lonesome.
• My housemate who will go out the the farmer’s market to buy vegetables when I am holed up in bed feeling terrible.
• All three of my jobs, however busy they keep me, they are spectacular, and I work with wonderful people.
• The fact that there is glitter on the ceilings of my house, haha.
• A Vivienne Westwood red label jacket that is MINE. MINE MINE MINE. For a ridiculously small price.
That did feel nice, writing it all down :)
Music boxes, spring rolls, raw organic apple cider vinegar, discovering music of all kinds again, mostly raw food, organizing, creating till I drop, yerba mate, pixie mate and green tea instead of coffee, biking instead of driving (if it’s raining it feels like dancing in the rain), friendship, RSL!, Dreaming, believing, raising standards for myself, being in touch with myself, everything fairy tale, sparkly, magical and bringing it into this reality, appreciation, individuation, and you are great! All of you!
Better late than never, I suppose. So!
+Alice in Wonderland, and dressing up as the Red Queen [in her weekend outfit] to go see it.
+Watching old Looney Toons making fun of Hitler&Goering in history. So hilarious, and an amazing excuse for an assignment.

+My Commercial Design class, which is always so amazing. Our teacher bought the whole class 4gb flashdrives and we got to pick which one we wanted.
+PURPLE HAIR! HAPPENING TOMORROW!!!!!

Hi Gala Darling!
I am writing to you while sitting in a intenet cafe on Brunswick st.
I thought to comment as you inspired me ever so much today. I was going to to the melbourne Bridal Stampade (a bunch of girls dressed as brides chase a guy through Melbourne CBD) but alas arrived too late!
So sitting in a cafe on swanston st having a coffee and feeling rather mournful. You see, other than missing an event I had so wanted to go too it it meant also that I was wearing a full wedding dress, veil, above-the-elbow white satin gloves and carrying a HUGE bouquet of white roses on a saturady in the middle of the city and ALL ON MY OWN. and then I thought-WHAT WOULD SHE, the indomitable Miss Gala Dalring DO!!
and saw that there was a same cex marriage rally on so I made myself useful and helped hand out leaflets and than marched with 1,200 people (good thing I was also wearing doc martin’s under my dress), got hit on by about 20 lovely butch girls-if only I was single and swung that way-and then found a garage sale with some PERFECT black satin gloves.
Just thinking of your lovely work made the whole day bearable and COMPLETELY changed my perspective.
I went from feeling misrably overdressed to oddly frivious and I mean, sure homeless people keep coming up and congratulating me, middle aged wowsers keep making snide coments as I pass about my groom-less state and well meaning ladies keep asking where everyone else is BUT GOSH there is something fun about wandering around in a wedding dress and boots! Even if it means having some random artist take about 300 shots of me smoking in a wedding dress in front of a gay rights banner banner. Something about smokers being the new communists..
SO Thank You SO MUCH!! I have yet to go home and change but I JUST had, simply was compelled to write and express my delight and gratitude! Your writing is a such a gorgeous felicity to have in my world!
Seeing Alice In Wonderland last Saturday, and proceeding to gnaw my father’s ear off about the original novel, and Tim Burton; spending a lovely afternoon with my best friend and her boyfriend, listening to Paramore, discussing gay rights and slurping obnoxiously loud on two-minute noodles; watching my English teacher during her very first Kumiai Ryu lesson and trying not to laugh; scoring an admirable 100% on a project I spent so long on and nearly drove myself to madness stressing about; having a fantastically long and deep conversation with a boy from my class that I get along with, but never really talk to that much; finishing all my Advanced English work for the rest of the term; finally settling on my major artwork for my Visual Arts course; my best friend being a doll and buying me an adorable wicker basket and some pyschology books whilst she was out op-shopping; getting lots of footage so I can start making my class’ graduation video for the end of the year; eating waffles and ice cream at 3 in the morning; seeing old photos of me and realising that I was stunning once upon a time; dressing up in skirts whenever I want; making lunch dates with my best friend; seeing my friends from out of town; my luxuriously decadent bed; and getting glorious amounts of perving on Friday night from a girl that used to be in my class (my oh my, how she has matured!).
long talks with fabulous friends + delicious caramel hot chocolate + my best friends gorgeous baby boy + how adorable my doggy looked in his pink bandages when he got back from the vets + having incredible parents + having stacks of books to read + new projects + running + endless inspiration + getting lots of sleep.
Thing I’m Loving This Week:
-Tattooing, I’m almost done with my apprenticeship.
-My best friend moving in with me next month from out in California.
-My boyfriend.
-The tattoo shop I work at.
-Paintball game anticipation.
-New tattoos
-Waking up to warm weather finally.
There’s more but it would go on forever.
I’m loving my life right now.
XoXo
This thursday I love:
- Doing great at work – Meeting up with an old friend – that spring is coming – having the courage to stand up for myself!

This week I’m loving…
Mah job. I could be going full-time very soon and I am so excited about all the opportunities I have.
My girl. She is really fantastic.
Alice in Wonderland. Haven’t been to the movies in way too long, it was great.
Spring Break! Wow I needed that.
My family. :)
Eating healthy. For the past week or so I have pretty much cut processed food from my diet and have been fueled by fresh fruit, veggies, green tea and water. Feels great.
Getting it done. I can almost taste May. I am so ready for this semester to be over, but I am keeping strong and getting it done.
Belatedly, my TiLT:

+ salt & vinegar soy crisps
+ running into friends I haven’t seen in awhile.
+ dark chocolate cadbury mini eggs HELLO!
+ kitten cuddles
+ late night phone calls with my man where we make little happy noises to each other…
+ & his first improv performance- it was so good & he was the best!
+ spooning in the early morning
My TILT is my Thusday night concert I attended at Massey Hall with my favorite band in the world Marianas Trench. I’m also loving on Carley Rae Jepsen who was wonderful enough to sign her cd for me! I played it all day Friday while driving around in the merky, grey, rain & it was like having my own personal bit of sunshine with me in my car!
I’m loving being on spring break, seeing old friends from H.S. I actually liked, strong margaritas!, laughing at Paul Mooney with my dad and brother, new highlights, playing rock band in the middle of best buy with my bestie, chilling in vip drinking perfect gin and tonics, finding out Band of Horses is playing at my school!!!
What’s a voodoo chicken sandwhich?! It sounds delicious :d
listening to stephen fry’s podcasts in the library whilst “studying” – random ke$ha singalongs – late night chit chat with my big sister – putting tabasco in everything – alice in wonderland themed parties – swirly flowery facepaint – apple vodka – cheerful old men who talk to me at work – sensible shoes – drinking pints of iced water with a slice of lime, mmmm – big hair – finally doing something about getting a new job – poking the venus fly traps at the botanic gardens – discovering a whole new street of vintage shops – pleasant people who are really into their work and like talking about it – taking the day off and laying around in the sun with wee sis – exotic smoothies – stumbling across the PERFECT outfit – pizza – gig tickets – lazy afternoons.

Thanks for getting me hooked on Polyvore!
I just posted an apartment wish list on my blog. It’s such an addictive site!
gala my dear, if you can, you should try to check out ‘cyrus’ at SXSW! it’s the first semi-mainstream film by the duplass brothers, who are fantastic, super-super-low- budget mumblecore directors/writers/actors. i am so jealous that i can’t see it, so i will live vicariously through those who can! xo
