Things I Love Thursday
[ 28 February 2008 ]
Hello cuties! I know that lots of you are now doing Things I Love Thursday on your own sites & blogs! It makes me so happy, I’m like a proud mother! Cluck cluck! Anyway, I have made up some little banners that you can use if you want to (it’s not compulsory!) — they just have cute pictures & say “Things I Love Thursday” on them. If you want to swipe one, you can check them out on the Participate page!
Et maintenant, without further ado, here is my list of Things I LOVE Thursday!
Soy hazelnut hot chocolate — Shamefully, it is from Starbucks, but it is very tasty! I think it probably has about 36,000 pounds of sugar in it but, well, sometimes a major chocolate shot is just what a girl needs to get her through the day.
Karl Lagerfeld — The one & only. He’s just so fabulous. I love seeing him in documentaries — he speaks so quickly & everything he says is brilliant & bold. He’s like a hilarious quote generator. I just adore him.
My new digital dictaphone — It’s an Olympus WS-300M (as recommended by Miranda, thank you!) & it rocks my world! I love it so much. I have been carrying it around with me & rambling into it as I see fit. It’s tiny, about the size of a packet of chewing gum, & it is sooo much fun. I had a dictaphone when I was a kid & as an only child, it was my favourite toy ever. Even better than Nintendo if you ask me. So, it brings back very fond memories (mostly of wandering around putting on voices & making up stories). I have grand plans for this dictaphone, let me tell you! I also think I’m going to buy some super-shiny crystal stickers & bling it up… Ooh! I’m such a magpie!
Dhrumil — Of We Like It Raw & Give It To Me Raw fame. He is a champ. Listen to this & this & just try to tell me differently! I love his energy & charisma, it’s so exciting just to listen to!
Clearing my intentions — There’s some old saying that goes, “If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything”. I like to use this in terms of working out what I want, too. If I don’t know what I want in certain areas (work, lifestyle, relationships), I attract all kinds of things that aren’t quite right. The best way I know to clear your intentions is to grab some index cards, write headings at the top (like ‘Friends’ or ‘Myself’) & then do a bullet-point list of how you would like those things to be. Phrase it positively, i.e., instead of “Not a liar”, you’d write “Honest”. Look at the cards regularly & add to them & change them, but focus on them & visualise those things being true for you NOW. You will be amazed at what happens, I promise!
Dubstep — One of my new favourite things. If you haven’t heard Burial’s Untrue album, you are missing out in a big way. I also strongly recommend getting your paws on anything by Skream, Benga, Arovane, Monolake & Boxcutter. It’s all perfect grey sky music — which describes this morning pretty well!
Rhymesayers Entertainment — Best independent hip-hop label in existence (& since it was founded by my favourite rapper, it has a special place in my heart). They’re so cool & down to earth & are devoted to breaking new ground, & every time I have any kind of interaction with them, I feel good afterwards. If you want a real crash course in what great hip-hop is like, go to their site & buy a bunch of albums!
I think Slug is one of the most crushed-on rappers of all time.
Holographic nails! I can’t help myself, it is my magpie nature. My favourite holographic nailpolish is OPI’s ‘Glamour’ from their Designer Series. (It’s not on their site any more but you could definitely find it on Ebay.) It’s a fabulous violet with miniscule holographic flacks — the perfect polish for any intergalactic love warrior!
Going through old pictures — I haven’t saved much to Flickr recently, so I’ve been going through my pictures to find something for this post. I don’t know how it happened, maybe just good planning, but somehow I have managed to keep all my pictures since… well, basically since I got online (1996). It is amazing to see what I liked & what I saved. It is basically a catalogue of my taste from my teenage years through to the present day, which I think is incredible. All morning I’ve been looking through the photos of these girls whose sites I used to read & whose words I used to treasure. Who knows where they are today or what they’re doing?
Honourable mentions: Procellous grey skies; cosy sweatshirts that feel like a hug; vibrant connections with people in other cities; watching Angel in bed with loverboy; making travel plans; meeting new people with passion that matches your own; reading about finance (haha); excitement & anticipation!
I asked Audrey for his TiLT list too, & he said…
My new hair! After having to spend just over a week with my shock of red, I had a consult with the amazing Kat at Wildilocks. Despite their obvious love of all things dark and kooky, she embraced the chance to get her hands dirty and play around with the colour. It was a great experience — the staff are open and friendly yet there’s still a definite air of professionalism in the salon. Everything was discussed and explained, which I think is important when somebody is mixing chemicals to put on your scalp. And the end result is perfect: I feel like me again.
iTunes and iPod! I finally bit the bullet and joined the 21st Century and bought my first ever iPod. This isn’t just a ‘I want to look cool and ignore the rest of the world while I’m on the tram’ thing either. I’m actually on a quest to simplify and organise my life and the amount of stuff I have. Once I have all my music organised I can get rid of a lot of clutter (finally).
Reorganising my music collection which has also made me nostalgic for the songs I grew up on. I’m now playing all my old albums as I rip them into iTunes and I’m having all sorts of flashbacks to high school and the like.
Gossip Girl. Yes, I too have succumbed to the hype and am totally hooked. I love the way that B is the bitchy, power-hungry mogul of their scene, yet seems to be the smallest character. Not sure if it’s just an accident from casting, but I think there’s actually a deeper, hidden meaning behind the way this pint sized little girl can be so manipulative and evil. Also, Chuck is officially on my Style Icon list. Those blazers and those SCARVES! Wow.
The weather today! It’s gloomy and rain is pelting on the roof. Lord, its so good. A good excuse to stay inside and get jobs done. Plus I’ve finally pulled my coats and jackets out from storage. Can’t wait to get out there, grab some warm caffeinated beverages, jump in puddles and take advantage of this briskness.
Masseurs. I’m going through a rough patch at the moment, but guys can benefit from a little pampering just as much as girls.
“The moment you have in your heart this extraordinary thing called love & feel the depth, the delight, the ecstasy of it, you will discover that for you the world is transformed.” — Jiddu Krishnamurti
Join us for a big love-fest (or as Madonna would say, “a metaphysical orgy”)! What do you love this week? Big cups of tea? The promise of spring? Fashion shows? Dressing in only one colour? Your boyfriend’s moustache?! Tell us — we’ll all blow kisses in the same direction!
Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala

Yay! Soy hazelnut lattes from Starbuck are on my list too! I’m not so much a chocolate person but these do it for me!
Also:
~~ making new friends at University
~~ rainy days where you’re rugged up warm
~~ umbrellas that match your outfit
~~ cold air coming through the window (it sort of matches the rainy day one) and staying in bed.
Things I love this Thursday…
! Panic at the Disco. Yeah, yeah, laugh! But nothing cheers me up like watching Brendon Urie make ridiculous faces and then launch into a gorgeous cover of “The Weight”.
! Neon. I’m very excited for the set of our school’s upcoming production! I’m designing the set, and we get to purchase neon lighting, how cool!
! Tea. How I ever lived without it is unknown to me!
! Being able to record shows on the TV. In fact, the latest Steven’s Untitled Rock Show is waiting for me to watch it RIGHT NOW.
! Local bands. A scene full of sweethearts and gorgeous boys and astounding, amazing musical talent! It’s a treat to hit up my favorite local coffee-shops/community centers to see my favorite bands almost every weekend.
Honorable mentions include: my My Chemical Romance: Black Parade jacket, the internet, music videos, cutting up t-shirts. Gala!
Aimee — Aw, you cutie. xx
snow! i love it. i’ve only gone snowboarding once this winter, but that will soon change! [8
-my new blackblackblack hair (just in time for winter… not having orange hair makes it so much easier to wear crazy colourful stuff! but it kinda freaks me out to see my natural colour heheh)
-my new $19 polkadot dress from Shibuya (which I definitely could not have worn with orange hair)
-the last hurrah of parties/fundraisers/dinners/coffees/catch-ups before uni starts again
-dressing up for the Hollywood glamour party next week
-amazing secondhand books for $2
-yellow post-it notes
-chinese kitsch
-fashion week
-food co-op tofu burgers
-uniball signo gelstick pens in dark dark purple
-rain… or more specifically, sitting by the window in my favourite local cafe with a leatherbound notebook and portishead on my phones and a thick white cup of green tea, listening to the rain…
-and probably most of all, this strange but comforting feeling of having my life sorta back on track. good things are happening!
Holographic nails? How cool! Shiny things are so great.
TiLT-
+Cute, old-fashioned art shops full of gold-leaf sheets, shelves of oil paint and watercolours and endless amounts of coloured pencils in every colour imaginable. Oh and the best quality brushes.
+Painting landscapes with lovely expensive oil paints from said art shop.
+My new hairbrush
+Joining a million clubs and societies at university… i have a social life again!
+Public transport- eavesdropping on other people’s conversations, reading their newspapers over their shoulder, admiring their outfits, wondering what kind of job they have/if they’re happy in their career/whether or not they’re straight.
*The feeling of being DONE (with finals, that is) and ready to start my spring break (even if I am not going anywhere warm, a break is a break).
*Straightening my hair—wow! why didn’t i do this before??
*Day old bagel sales- there is a bagel shop literally one block away from me and i scored the softest bagels ever from them…6 for $2.50…because they were “too old”. ha!
*Plugs- I am continuing my stretching adventures (my ears are 4g right now) and moving up to the next size after about 4 months at this one. I bought sparkly bling for them, as well as weather-proof black kao tunnels, and the last pair of beautiful blue diamond horn plugs in 2g (http://bodyartforms.com/productdetails.asp?ProductID=3985)
*pink strawberry happiness blog (http://ichigogeisha.blogspot.com/) and her other blog , kuma kuma hotcakes and other cute things(http://kumahotcakes.blogspot.com/). they are indescribably cute!
*Starting over fresh—I gave myself a new AIM screen name and theme, limiting the list of people who got the new name, and so far it’s been a beautiful new start.
*Chips and salsa- Every night. I cannot stop. Sooo good and I don’t even like Mexican food (well, except Margaritas).
*My boyfriend’s passion- for his job, for learning, for me, for our relationship, and yes, even for silly anime shows and video games.
*Speaking of anime, the series NANA. I lovvvve Ai Yazawa and have ever since I first read Paradise Kiss as a high school sophomore. I was happy to start reading NANA and I am almost done watching all the episodes online. They are so wonderful and her style of drawing is beautiful, even if you have no other interest in anime or manga, you should check them out. Paradise Kiss is all about fashion, for crying out loud!
*Inspiring fortune cookie fortunes that make me blush madly when I read them or think about them—for example, one was, “you will be very happy in marriage” and another was, “you are the guiding star of his existence.”
*the UPS tracking site. I swear, I want to order more things online just to track them. It’s amazing to watch all the places your package goes and totally raises the anticipation level :)
The boy being back in town!
Madame X by Posset Perfumes – I smell like some not-quite-identifiable yummy treat, until you put fresh coffee near me – then I smell like a caramel macchiato!
Maroon-bellied conures – particularly the two that will be mine in about a week!
Blue-dome days (remember Augie Auer, any of you Kiwis out there?)
Being only the third person to notice a friend’s new glasses
Anticipation of Mationals (Marching NZ)
Anticipation of samba post-Nationals
Jane, I know how that last point feels. That kind of makes it onto my list too. Here it is:
* Running in the cold February evenings with a cranking playlist on my iPod and someone beside me to stop me from slowing down or stopping * The sunniest February in UK record (not sure if it’s entirely true, but dang it, it’s believeable. It’s like a brisbane winter here! yipee) * Amazing teenagers who have manners and work hard to do well. I’m only 24 and have been teaching for 2 years and I’ve found that these students are unfortunately very rare.
and finally…
* exercising throughout the week, chipping away at my to do list, cooking really healthy food for dinner and feeling almost on top of things.
Today I love black coffee made by Italians. I also love Achilles (who happens to be Italian) who I met on Valentines Day (which was on a Thursday, would you believe it), and one day we’re going to get married because he is the most good looking boy I’ve ever seen.
I also love books by Ian McEwan, who’s the best author alive, right now. In my opinion.
- My new romance was born pink stockings from Alice Euphemia! If only I could work out how to send you a picture of them!
- Personal replies to emails.
- Sleepovers with my boyfriend. We’re saving for our trip to Europe so we’re both living at home but every day I stay over it makes my stomach flip and I never sleep as well as that.
- When people compliment my Japanese speaking. Seeing as though I have not been there I am working as a freelance tour guide and those Japanese people saying I am “totemo jyouzu” (very good) is so uplifting and the reason I do it.
- Cold weather
- Chocolate crackles. My birthday party weakness food. I hardly ever have them but when someone makes them…watch out! So simply, I know I know very naughty but as you said….sometimes a girl needs a chocolate hit to get through the day!
Getting more and more excited about going to Japan in three weeks!! Aaah, I can’t wait. And university being so close to finishing for the Easter holidays, too.
Sitting on my windowsill with my laptop, playing happy music and taking photos of the sky every hour or so because it just keeps getting prettier.
Going to a talk by a philosophy academic this evening all by myself, and actually understanding everything that was said… and not being massively scared of all the intellectual-looking types that showed up, too. Normally I’d have felt so out of my depth I wouldn’t even have gone, but I made an effort, and I’m so glad!
Washing my fleecey dressing gown yesterday so it went all fluffy and soft again… mmm.
And my beautiful boy for bringing me flowers today. They are a gorgeous mess of bright, clashing colours… so cheering and happy =)
* Getting excited about life because of a Career Development seminar held at work. We did Myers Briggs Type Indicators tests and activities and I’m learning alot about myself. We also get four 1 on 1 sessions with the guy who ran it. Something my employer has done right for once!
* Pink pink pink. Bright pink. To go with all of my clothes, which are black :]
* Getting a massage and paying for my BF to get one too. So much better at the actual therapists studio than at work in the horrible uncomforatble massage chair.
* Cheap mangoes and avocados. Yum.
* My boyfriend actually getting excited about things. He’s not very expressive so I find it hard to pick up on the things he really likes. He does however love his job as a graduate Architect and expressed his undying love for Mangoes last night. lol. Reminds me of That 70’s Show where Eric says he loves cake.
+My purple pen – writing with it makes everything seem more fun, even if it’s just a to-do list or writing assignments in my planner
+Doing my makeup – I just got a bunch of stuff from MAC and am loving it.
+“The Fallen” by Franz Ferdinand
+Apollo Justice for my Nintendo DS – I only bought it a few days ago and am nearly done (and it’s not exactly a short game) Oops! :)
+Ordering things on Etsy – just safety eyes and an engagement ring for my boyfriend (!!!) but I’m eyeing up yarn and cosmetic bags now.
+Craft Swaps – it’s so much fun to spoil people. :D
~ Watching One Piece. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Piece)
~ My new short, straightened hair with bangs! It’s long in the front and short in back; I feel like an anime girl!
~ Baking bread with my boyfriend.
~ Playing my cello again.
~ Beirut! My favorite band in the world right now.
Becca — Engagement ring? ROCK OUT! Did you ask him or did he ask you &... details!!!!
Aimee — another Panic fan! How excited are you for the new record!? I’m dying, oh man.
Anyway, my TILT list —
* making positive changes * working at loving myself * new hair! “Cherry Coke” colour, dark dark brown with some red * making plans with friends for Epic Adventures * sticking to good routines * sending letters
Becca — Apollo Justice! I’ve been wanting to play this so badly, is it as fun as it looks? Do you need to play the first Phoenix Wright to understand it? :D
Each time i read a new post here, i get so so excited! Everything is just soo amazing. I loved the “things i love thursday”.
Today I love:
-Passion fruit juice
-Chinese lucky stars
-My new wordpress \o/
-Tea tea tea (lemongrass)
-House MD
-The Beatles
-The orange cake’s smell
-Ballet slippers which i bought some months ago but i hadnt used yet (hope to use them next week eee \o/)
Gala— Thanks, aww. It’s not my fault I am overwhelmed by awesome things every day (especially when they are Brendon Urie?)! TiLT makes my weeks better, especially this one.
telis— I am so excited I can barely sleep or eat! I am on an all Panic, all the time diet. Have you seen recent concert footage of That Green Gentleman or Mad As Rabbits? I am trying to decide whether to watch or wait, ugh! Holding myself off with the cover of The Band’s “The Weight” I found from the HCT announcement. :)
Oooh! Shiny nail polish (currently rocking Demi-Glace from the MAC N collection — seriously underrated), finding antique/thrift store treasures, the Etsy seller “imyourpresent”, new flavors of macaron (orange blossom! chocolate chili!) and the promise of a roasted beet/goat cheese sandwich at the local French bakery, Pixel Pink lipstick, and the chance to win a Vespa at my local Sephora (!!!!). Getting direct deposits in my bank account! Going to the ballet last weekend and crying because of the beauty of it.
Well, it is still Wednesday on my side of the world. Actually I’m sitting in my Operative Systems class and I’m supposed to listen to what my professor is saying.
I can’t wait until tomorrow so my list is here:
Free days: Yesterday I had a free day at college because all of my classes were canceled n_n.
My inters: They are such dears and they try to help me get my own intern work done ASAP.
Meeting with old friends: Yesterday, my sister and I went to a friend’s house to meet up with another friend who we haven’t seen for 8 years. He’s now married and lives in Switzerland.
Finishing my homework early: Because that way I leave my Thursday free to go to the movies with Liz. We’re watching JUNO.
My w600i: Because of its speaker and its camera, I can paparazzi away while in school and no one notices n_n.
Cupcake: I love looking at my in box and reading it when I’m supposed to be paying attention to a very boring class.
Tashi Pops: They are rice and cheese balls that are fried. They are from my campus’ sushi stand called Tashi.
My Russian Professor: Specially when he talks about his life in Russia. It was really weird when he told us that he asked American tourists for chewing gum n_n.
Well, my professor just caught on my not paying attention.
My complete list later on on my blog. BTW, thanks for the badges, I’ll put one up as soon as I get home.
Loads of kisses.
Gala – He hasn’t actually asked yet (the ring’s not done yet, it’s a custom thing apparently) but we’ve known we were going to get married for over a year now. :) But yeah, he’ll be asking me sometime in April (he’s so bad at keeping secrets. the only reason I don’t know the exact date is because he hasn’t decided yet). Haha. This is the ring I got him though: www.etsy.com/view_transaction….
Meg – It’s super-fun! You don’t need to play the Phoenix Wright games to understand it, because they re-explain anything important, but they do throw in some stuff that makes more sense if you have played the games. So you could play Apollo first, but I would definitely suggest playing the Phoenix Wright games (especially Trials and Tribulations) eventually. I like the characters in Phoenix better, personally, but the gameplay in Apollo is much more complex, which I really enjoy.
~~ “Magic Moments” by Perry Como. How can you not listen to this song and just SMILE!
~~ Pushing Daisies. The cutest show ever in the whole wide world. I now look forward to Monday nights
~~ The Rolling Stones
~~ Vanity Fair Feb 08. The Alfred Hitchcock movie photo shoot is amazing
~~ Peanut Butter Cookies
~~ Finishing my Anatomy and Physiology course YAY :D
Becca — That’s a lovely ring. Aw, yay! So happy for you!
awesome! been waiting for this all week
*my new job! it’s just office work but everyone i work with is nice, the company has REAL morals & principles in their dealings with customers, & i like my trainers. so awesome, thanks Universe!
*my boyfriend blush we got back together (i know, ‘bad’, but it was real craziness that ripped us apart), & it’s great because we’re ‘dating’ this time around which is a first… giving eachother our space & time to do our own thing, but we just couldn’t deny how much we loved eachother any longer. so i’m taking it sloooow but loving it!
*mike dooley. I can’t WAIT for the talk in March, woop woop!
*tuna, dill & pasta salad. YUM.
*water. i haven’t been drinking enough of it but it’s my task this week.
*rainy days, squelching around in my wet shoes all day isn’t so great but it reminds me of home & gives me an excuse to buy a cute new ‘brolly.
*everything! i’m seriously having a great week, even though it’s busy & jam-packed with things to do/people to see/places to go…
woo wah woo!
~making mix tapes. even though my friends all have intimidatingly brilliant and varied taste in music, it’s cool to just share my favourites with them.
~this is kind of weird; but memories of how my life was five years ago; weirdly i like thinking about catching the ferry from devonport into auckland city. i miss the ferry!!
~similar to one of yours gala; knowing what i want in a friend, and having enough ace people in my life not to have to bother with someone if they’re not totally awesome imo.
~new hair, as is my thing i love thursday every 3 weeksish- this time black bob with white blonde fringe. it’s totally gothic but i don’t care! i love me some gothics!
~forgiving myself for hurting people in the past; i have made mistakes, but i’ve never did anything out of malice, and i still love anyone i’ve ever loved. so i’m not so bad.
~and yeah, life can be tough but at least theres dancin’!

-Spring uniform!
Our winter uniform (horrible sweater vest with horrible socks with horrible button up shirt with horrible shoes) is ending, and the most relaxed, prettier, less-time-in-the-morning uniform is afoot! A white polo and a skirt, with the sneakers and the flats that have been sitting lonely in my closet over the last month. Another reason to love spring!
-Von Willebrand Disease
Actually, this isn’t really that interesting. I’m just writing a brochure on it.
-Marie Antoinette
She is interesting. I’m writing my argumentative term paper on her and her role in the French Revolution. So much fascinating things to be found in old books!
i love buying baby clothes from target and the smell of mecca cosmetica hand cream
Friends: Making time to hang out with them even though I have a huge pile of work to do and wasting our time playing Guitar Hero.
Grades: Getting the highest grade in a class where I felt I was going to fail.
Books: Realizing that I own too many books that they no longer fit in my bookshelves yet still continue to buy even more. What makes it even better is that I’ve read all of them.
Shoes: There’s nothing sweeter than getting a new pair of shoes especially when they were given to me by a love interest.
x. chipotle, an american chain resturant with the yummiest mexican food (sour cream, cilantro rice, and queso shouldn’t be such a delicious combination).
x. strawberry hello panda cookies. cute and pink and yummy.
x. the “across the universe soundtrack”. songs that were previously just giddy little love songs from my adolescence mean something completely different when sung slowly and sofly (especially “i wanna hold your hand”).
x. gourmet sweets. i just returned from new orleans where i ate detroit bumpy cake, tahitian vanilla milkshakes, chipotle pepper/cinnamon/chickory truffles, blood orange macaroons, chocolate macaroons, brown sugar/macadamia nut/double white chocolate chip cookies, and chai gelato.
x. the way my little dog is always at the door when i arrive home. she doesn’t sit and wait for hours, but somehow she knows when i’m about to show up.
x. being missed. by the person i went to new orleans to see, the person i left in kansas city, and most of all, my little dog.
x. new dresses. i bought a beautiful one in new orleans (http://www.kiyonna.com/plus-size-clothing/Dresses/12072202) and i’m on the hunt for a cotton sundress, or two.
x. looking for a new place to live.
xo. maroon 5. they are only the most amazing band EVER. there songs are sexy and gorgeous, but totally meaningful. plus adam levine is pretty cute, so he pulls it all together.
xo. baritone saxophone. i just got my own, and i love it with all of my heart. it’s just a little shorter than me, and has such a beautiful, low, bold sound.
xo. my lovely german friend. he’s so funny, i can’t help but smile everytime i see his spiky little head.
xo. my new bathing suit!! it’s grey, which is a really strange color for a swim suit… but i love it.
xo. checking iCiNG in exploring technology class. i always check it in the last couple minutes of class. the guy who sits next to me likes to read it over my shoulder.
xo. MAC. i just bought a foundation there, and i love it! plus, they had AMAZING customer service, and they gave me cute little samples of two moisturizers and their exfoliator, which has totally cleared my skin up.
xo. getting nice and organized for the next day. i love to sort myself out the night before so i’m not stressed out in the morning.
xo. ralph lauren cool perfume. it’s the neglected cousin of the hot perfume. it’s so sexy, it smells like cucumber, melon and lily of the valley. i want to dance around when i wear it.
xo. singing songs from musicals. right now, i’ve been singing songs from hairspray and grease.
wow, that’s the longest tilt list i’ve written in a while. ;D
Ohh, I’m so tired, so coherence is not guaranteed . .
I love all the sweet happy comments. And Perry Como/‘Magic Moments’ – yes! And blue-dome days (RIP, Augie). And bec, I was a 24-yr-old teacher too, once. Go you good thing!
I love the beach and catching amazing waves on my own. I love being able to make myself let go and get over it when people mess with my head. I love word-of-mouth: sign up for my ballet classes! Tell your friends! I love providing counselling to my friends, not saying anything especially mind-blowing, just letting them know they are heard and understood. I loved Peter Urlich’s heartfelt performance on Dancing with the Stars, and I desperately love Hayley Holt. I love my new ipod and I love that it was my man’s birthday the other day, and I love Flight of the Conchords on DVD (hi-res hotness) and I LOVE Jemaine!
And I love thinking about things I’ve learnt and use in my life, and the way the people who taught me those things were just doing their job, but have made such a difference to me.
Like you for example, Miss Gala. xxx
YES, dubstep. burial is so so good. i stumbled upon a compilation cd of (sf) bay area dubstep and it is amazing and right across the bay from me. i’m so excited!
~My New Manga. I want more more more. They’re so fun to read and there’s such great art and wonderful expressions.
~My Chai Tea bags. Chai tea is sooo delicious. Such a nice spice flavour.
~Trix Cereal.
~Ramen Noodles.
~My research paper. Even though I haven’t really started it (I’m such a procrastinator) I got this really nice, huge book called The Definitive Illustrated Encyclopedia of Rock.
~Getting my Art for school done. It was so much fun experimenting with a new style.
TiLT! I haven’t participated in like…FOREVER.
= Thursday! Because I’m going to get my hair done! Eep! I’m excited. RED HIGHLIGHTS. What better way to spend 3 hours of my workday (and get PAID) than getting my hair colored and cut for free!? Guh I looove working at a salon.
= Bright pink (FREE) CHI flat irons.
= New sunglasses!

brainstorming with my friends
trying not to criticize, condemn or complain during the day
i fell in love with hayao miyazaki again though he makes me cry
we have some crazy sun here
& i love waiting for updates from gala!!
I have lots of love for my boyfriend this week for things such as back massages, him chasing me round Melbourne Central trying to tickle me, and him singing Mighty Boosh songs at me (and when done at extremely inappropriate moments, make me collapse in a fit of giggles)
I don’t remember having this much fun in a relationship before and I’m loving it to bits.
Sleeping all day and eating biscuits in bed.
Nouvelle Vague at the Prince this Sunday! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ro2hjM…
Finding a new housemate
Planning my new bedroom for when I get to swap rooms.
Aimee — Oh man, I am going stir-crazy! I haven’t watched any videos, I want to be surprised! I watched the stuff from the HCT announcement and I decided I wanted the rest of the album to be a total surprise. I totally can’t wait, augh!!
+ yogurt and granola
i am currently into all things delicious and delicious-smelling!+ mochi ice cream
+ my brand new cucumber-scented lotion
Audrey I totally agree about Chuck from Gossip Girl! I love love love his scarves <3
Things I love this Thursday? Well… where to begin?!
+ Heating up my heat-pack & curling up with Harry Potter while it rains outside.
+ Having a Milo after school that has just as much Milo as milk :P
+ Making new friends & discovering our shared love for Buffy the Vampire Slayer!!
+ Receiving another letter from my good friend. We have recently been writing letters to each other full our random humor & silly made-up words – it’s so exciting when I get one in the mail!
+ Last but certainly not least has got to be searching for new hairstyles because I’m getting a haircut on Saturday. The possibilities are endless!
Have a great Thursday all
xoxo
I lurrrrve:
-The first sings of spring here in Finland
-singing along to Hawaiian and Arabic songs
-learning to play tambourine in a mind-blowing manner
-writing my own songs and planning on releasing them someday
-the dark and soft gaze of my crushes eyes…sigh
-my rocking new green hair
-planning to dress like Annie Hall to the next formal party I go to!
I´m sending massive love around the world to all of you! embrace yourself and give yourself a hug right now, trut me… it feels so good! :)
Things I Love Thursday are:
- My puppy Missy:
she is the best thing that has happened to me since sliced bread! Yesterday was the day I realized that I really do love her. I took her to Puppy Preschool and she was so scared. All she did was cuddle up too me and looked at me with those eyes. I knew then that she loves me too.
- The new friendships in my life:
ever since July last year I have made some great new friendships. Over time these friendships have grown and grown. I am so glad to have some special people in my life. As time goes on and I experience new things (a job for example), I find myself creating new and lifelong friends along the way.
-The old friendships in my life:
as well as the new friendships, I must mention my old friendships. I don’t have a lot of friends from primary school nor high school. But I believe it is the quality of your friendships rather than the quantity. I am lucky enough to have the greatest friendship with my best friend Karen.
- Lawn Bowls:
yes I know it is an older person’s sport, but hopefully if the weather is nice to us, I am going to be playing lawn bowls with people from work tonight. I am so excited.
- Salsa dancing
if though I am not that good at it, it is still nice to go out and learn something new. I never thought I could learn so easily. The social dancing after class is fantastic too. It’s your time to shine!
- The weather at the moment
i know it is not as good as a sunny day, but don’t you just love staying inside, all nice and warm reading a book or watching a movie? I know I do. At the moment I am reading Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice.
- The book Pride & Prejudice
I reckon it is one of the most beautifulest books I have read in all my life (mind you are not a big reader). The characters are brilliant and the plot of romance is breath taking.
So there you have it, things I love Thursday!
Enjoy
Miss Beckz
xxoo
i love this thursday to sleep… after i get home from work to just sleep. BLISSFUL BLISSFUL sleep. oh my goodness me. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz… xoxox
Hey Gala, after reading this I decided to do my own Things I Love Thursday on my blog. I mention you a few times and I included some of your banners. :]
Here is a link if you want to read it:
blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fus…
xx
~ That there’s another ‘Meg’ already on this list. Viva la Megs.
~ I have a whole three comments on my blog now (I know that’s nothing, but my blog isn’t a comment/people magnet, and I don’t care much – but it still makes me very happy to get one every now and then)
~ African chants, Jason Issacs as Captain Hook (possibly my favorite fictional Character EVER – aside for what Disney’s animation team did to him…humiliation grr.) and putting all the random green or metal beads left from other projects into my hair then finguring out that the strand now can act as a hairtie as well.
~ sorting though comments on galadarling.com and finding who Gala’s other fans are.
*my boyfriend’s beard
*sex
*no work
*mangoes
*staying in bed watching the simpsons all day
*more sex
*project runway
*poetry
*online classes
Okay things I love Thursday?
-Giving a Cute guy my cellphone Number. It sounds consited but I’ve never really had the courage to do this before and well I figured why not? and he gave it to me back.
-....I’m sure I’ll think of something else? :)
At first I thought Audrey meant Massuer sandals (the horrid massage for your feet things). I couldn’t believe it! The boy has style… and then this? Then it clicked for me!
TiLT – The amazing Creative Thinking workshop I did yesterday, and applying it for real – Hot, dry weather (42 today!) – Meeting new, different people I wouldn’t usually come across – Body Pump class! – Noodle soup – New lingerie
Well its been a difficult week with a car crash, having to find $2000 to pay excess on car insurance for said crash and having issues with a certain government department; so its taken me a few hours to get through that and think of the positives in my life:
1. Amy, my very best friend, since we were 14. We hadn’t spent much time together over the past 3 years but lately we have really been reconnecting. Its so wonderful! Shes wonderful! And talking about all our issues and the future rocks.
2. New shoes. OK so I think I have an addiction, well a second one if you count my bag addiction. I’ve brought 5 pairs of shoes in a fortnight. They’re GORGEOUS. And after years of not being able to buy nice shoes because of big feet, places have started stocking my size regularly. Yay. Though no more shoes until that $2000 for the insurance excess is paid :(
3. Selling ‘stuff’ on Trade Me (the NZ equivalent of Ebay). Over the last week we did a major clean out and listed a heap of stuff on trade me, instead of just taking it to the dump. The amount of money we made on things we thought were worthless is amazing!
4. My finally finished Design Studio/Study. Its so exciting, equipped with sewing machine, easel etc. On the wall are paintings and my sketches for my Winter 08 Wardrobe. Now I have my own space to sew/design/paint/draw and study that doesn’t need to be constantly cleared away or interupted!
5. Knowing that tomorrow is a whole nother day and things can only get better!!!!
My gorgeous organic soy candle that my boyfriend bought me from a market… it’s in this glass mosaic holder thing in different shades of pink so it glows all pretty-like! and it smells divine!!!
Excitement over going to the Soundwave festival tomorrow in Melbourne. It’s all that pre-gig adrenaline pumping already!
“Memoirs of a Geisha”. I’m reading it for the second time!
Drinking green tea in the theater at school with friends in my spare and talking to our teacher about musicals.
Skid Row’s album Skid Row!! I’m a sucker for old rock bands.
Playing computer/on my DS. Age of Empires & Super Princess Peach here I come!!!
x Making close friends really quickly. It’s magic.
x Having less than three months left at school.
x Poetry. Just in general, really.
x Everyone getting really excited by the earthquake, it’s so amusing.
x Having chosen my firm & insurance university offers – no more waiting for decisions! Yes!
x Kenickie. How can anyone not love the lyric ‘we dob’t have time to be sad / come out 2nite, you’ve got to grab it if you want to have it’?!
x The interrobang. Best punctuation mark ever‽
Oh my goodnesssss, this is my first tilt! I am pretty excited.
x. The song Speakerphone by Kylie Minogue. I am currently listening to it for the 20th time in a row tonight. I think I may need to cut myself off soon.
x. Getting all silly and tummy-fluttering when I see the boy I like at work
x. Not having to go to class tomorrow and getting to sleep in!
x. Buying concert tickets! My bff and I are, within the span of 24 hours, going to see both Panic at the Disco AND My Chemical Romance in May, and I cannot wait.
x. Tomato soup
x. My ridiculous yellow armchair
Haven’t joined in for a while, so here goes…
I love…
+ having met 4 new friends recently, and enjoying conversations.
+ sharing quotes and links with thoughtful people
+ wearing the “right” underwear for an outfit
+ itunes podcast listings, Theatre of the Mind and some of the BBC ones ooohh!
+ carrots! munch munch
+‘psychic companions’, a beautiful phrase I read today that describes those individuals in life with whom you connect psyches with as if they’re meant to be in your life.
+ being open, and seeing how people respond differently towards you as a result!
Thanks for asking, Gala!
xx
TiLt:
my trainee colleagues at the new job..all so different yet so funny& sweet
Wildilocks: I just had a consult! they havent even done anything yet and I’m already so impressed with the service! Kat was very honest, open &knowledgeable. So my new possible haircut and colours has been a pretty constant fantasy right now.
Mexican ‘day of the dead’ skulls : A girl at my new job was talking about the celebration &had a skirt with the decorated skulls drawn on it..I’m really not sure why but I love the idea and the graphicness..I just find them really beautiful & striking.
My little brother (though he’s much taller than me) – we don’t talk much but when I get a chance to even have a little catchup chat & to just talk about eachother &his plans really warms my heart. He’s a really good guy & I love having him as a little brother.
xxoo
! COFFEE in the mornings (I’d given it up for a while and missed it)
! My returning to ginger hair – I dyed it brunette, which was great fun but I like that it’s returning
! My rowing crew and racing. Being proud of said crew.
! Queen – rediscovered on my itunes
! Cycling everywhere
! Dresses
! Anna Wintour (I saw her at the Union, see my blog for my review!)
! Comments on my blog :)
! Phone calls to people from home who I’ve not seen in ages
! Sending out really positive emails and having people tell me it made their day :)
! Other blogs and re-finding them after my computer crashed and lost my links list
! Fair trade products. My new year’s resolution was to buy only fair trade chocolate, but I’m thinking I might expand to something like coffee as well. There’s a great fairtrade shop in Oxford that I’m going to visit more – this is one of those things I think we should spend a little bit more money on (I’m not a fan of organic though!)
Man Man the band with the husky voice and the tribal percussion..I can’t stop listening!
My favorite waitress at the diner where I study. She always has a new tea for me to try and she’s charming and entertaining. I love to leave her really ridiculous tips.
Beautiful sunny days and daydreaming of summer. canoeing, camping, sundresses and sandals. I just can’t wait.
Songs written for me by my favorite young man, who is just so talented.
Cultural anthropology is just so interesting. Margaret Mead’s books are fueling more daydreams of sorting through the rubble of civilizations long abandoned, or unfolding the ancient traditions of the bush people of some tribe somewhere.

— Preparing to show my friend around my favorite parts of London and England.
— Long letters from my grandmas.
— The boy is picking me up from the airport when I get back and I’m staying at his that night. :)
— The fact that all my scrimping and saving over the past few months has paid off and I’ll come back to the States with even more money than my goal amount!
— I have a lead on a place to live when I come back. I really hope it works out!
I love:
~ Free foot massages from my boy! I always return the favour, of course!
~ Ann Summers chocolate flavoured body paint that my best friend bought for me while she was in England, delicious! My boy loves this one too =P
~ Shot Glasses! My best friend and I collect them. She got me some neat English and Scottish ones when she was overseas too.
~ Rain. It’s been pouring here for 2 days straight, and I really don’t mind at all.
~ Autumn…Summer will be over in 2 days [not that we have had THAT much of a Summer this year!] and I am really looking forward to rugging up in Wintery clothes. This will require shopping of course!
~ Grey’s Anatomy. Just because. It recently started again on Tv here, I hate that we have such a huge delay in getting it after the US. Now that it’s on again everything just seems a little bit better.
~ Making new friends! Since starting Uni it has been so lovely to surround myself with awesome people. There are so many different people at Uni, so unlike High School…you can’t possibly feel like the odd one out. It’s an awesome mishmash of interesting people.
I look forward to this all week!
This Thursday, I am loving…
- My new black DVF wool minidress. 60% off in the sale, it’s perfect with a little tee inside, very warm and very stylish. And so comfortable, I want to wear it all the time.
- Arrested Development. The best show EVER (apologies to fans of SATC and Gossip Girl!) – I just ordered dvds of AD, and I can’t remember the last time I laughed so hard. Brilliant!
- Feeling positive and celebrating new, exciting developments in my professional life. It’s been a good week…hee hee.
- Cupcakes. Just because.
TiLT:
Gala & TiLT & iCiNG – Like the most loyal loving friends ever! Even if you haven’t checked in on them in a while, you’re still welcomed back with open arms. You’ve saved me in some pretty sad moments!!
Grand Plans – i’m currently waiting to hear back about an awesome overseas job opportunity… BUT even if I don’t get it, I have other plans that I’m just as excited about. (But i’m in the final 44 and they take 30 people… cross the fingers for my kids!!)
Russh – Seriously, if you don’t read this magazine, get on the train now!!! It’s the greatest!! It’s like Vogue’s way cooler little sister. I want to work for them one day.
New Gym – My new gym opened a couple of weeks ago and it totally rocks my socks! The classes are great and the instructors are awesome-ly inspiring. I have so much more energy and am sleeping and eating better!! (I couldn’t do the raw thing tho kids, I need beeeeef. hehe)
Tea – As someone else said, I don’t know how I coped before I hit the tea circuit!! My bestie gave me a mixed pack of fancy teas for Christmas with a gigantor cup & saucer. The mixed pack is long gone but Lipton make pretty solid versions of the faves!! Green tea perks me up so so much!! I love it!!
New Friends – I made some new ones at uni this week. It’s so exciting because i’ve been doing my course for 3 years but haven’t connected with these people before! It’s really cool!
New Challenges – I had a job with a rugby league team throughout last season and i’m working with them again this year BUT with a different role. It’s going to be harder but it’s more like what I want to be when i grow up so it’ll will be deffo worth it.
Old Friends – similar to Natasja, the ex is sort of back on the scene… it’s cool having someone floating around that you shared such fun times with. And it’s nice to have my pillow smelling like sexy boy cologne.. mmm
love to all
xoxox
+ My new gladiator sandals! I bought them on sale. They are so cool.
+ Waffles. With vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce. Yummy!
+ Beverly Hills 90210. I used to love it as a kid. I guess I just couldn’t understand what went on. Recently I downloaded the pilot episode. It’s so funny and Brandon is sooo cute.
+ Kymia Dawson and The Moldy Peaches. Amazing music.
+ Queen! Love Freddy.
+ Listening to music. It’s so relaxing.
+ Cabaret, the movie. Love Liza and her nails and the MC. Everything looks so good.
+ My friend Lifte. He’s cute as a button and so sweet and nice to me. We went to dinner the other night and it was just so funny.
+ International phonecalls. With Spain, Germany and Denmark. Relatives and friends.
Greetings from Argentina,
This week I’ve been loving:
Audrey Kawasaki. I just adore the lyrical eroticism of her work. It’s so delicate and not at all obvious, and it moves me in ways I can’t explain.
LMFF. It’s coming, it’s coming! I plan to get totally dressed up, take notes on not only the runway shows but also the people attending, get as many goodie bags as possible and generally indulge in all things fashion.
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. I have been cyber stalking them like mad this week. :D
Chili Chocolate. I bought some Lindt chili chocolate today and it was all kinds of delicious. Sweet, but with a fiery finish. I like.
24. I am SO late on the bandwagon with this one, but ohmygod, 24 is such a great TV show. I have a huge crush on Kiefer Sutherland and I’m not afraid to admit it!
Things I love:
Super long fantastic chats with my sister – in the last few months or so she has stopped being a grumpy teenager and it is so awesome to have her back! In-jokes and talking nonsense all the way!
My ballet class – the teacher made us work very hard on tuesday but I have been feeling awesome ever since! Also I did pointe again for the first time in ages which was brilliant!
Being super organised and getting lots of studying done – sounds silly but I do love my subject very very much I just don’t often get the chance to remember how much. Also just achieving thigs is ace
My coffee maker! My parents got me it for Christmas and I have been happily inventing yummy drinks for my flatmates…
:)
Yay! My books from Amazon just arrived! Perfect timing!!!!
oooh sorry one more I forgot:
My socks – they have tiny bells on so I jingle as I walk/dance/jump around excitedly!
:)
I love…
# My Lonely Planet Blue List book which I picked up from the tip ship for….$1!! I was so impressed.
# The scarf I saw in Sussan this arvo, it’s old school hippy and so soft, and my mum said she has one like it, so I didn’t even have to spend money.
# Planning a book group and looking at the book catalogue.
# The feeling I have after leaving yoga.
# Looking forward to learning heaps of interesting stuff this semester at uni.
# Hugging my recently bathed little dog.
# Drinking chai latte with my mummy darling.
# Doing my bit by clicking daily on these WEBSITES...

Recently got cheated on so less things than usual to be happy about…however:
* Ginger tea. Tastes exactly like a gingerbread person, only in liquid form. lovely.
* My new-old (ebay) Claude Maus skirt with ghosties, axes, stars & vacuum cleaners on it. My new favourite.
This is all.
Thursday is almost over but there are many things that I LOVED today…
- sitting at a busy Tokyo train station oblivious to the crowds and frosty evening wind, totally immersed in divine conversation with a new friend who feels instantly like and old pal
- crossing things off the TO DO list
- hearing the door bell ring knowing it is the postie with my 7 new books from Amazon, one being New Earth by Eckhart Tolle
- frozen bananas and strawberries blended until they transform into ICE CREAM
- hugging and rubbing frosty noses together
I love the way that B is the bitchy, power-hungry mogul of their scene, yet seems to be the smallest character.
Just like Nicolas Sarkozy! Sorry, this French girl couldn’t help it.
And the things I love this week: books by Tanith Lee and Francesca Lia Block (you got me hooked), ginger tea brought in bed, organizing and decluttering my apartment, seaweed spread on whole bread, my new auburn hair, www.thecherryblossomgirl.com/, and the fact that I just got a long-overdue payment for a job, which means shopping!
barley green – otherwise known as barley grass. its this powder that you mix with water or juice and it looks like you’re drinking moss and if its with water it tastes like grass but it is amazing! it gives you so much energy, and lasts forever plus its really good for you, 11 times more calcuim than milk, 5 times more iron than spinach and 7 times more vitamin c than an orange. and you only need a glass in the morning
my new hair – I’ve gone red again yay!
life – its amazing. I’m so happy at the moment :)
~Not being sick anymore!
~The prospect of school being over!
~Being the friend who cares for once!
~Leap year!
~People that love me!
~Reading you blog the night before the real day! (I live in Michigan ;)
In other news… I MUST see picture of Audrey’s new hair! MUST!
Thanks Gala! You’re amazing…
This week I am loving not having to go into uni for a whole week and having no work to do!
I am also loving surprising my boyfriend when he comes home by baking him some form of delicious treat. Today it’s going to be shortbread, I just have to decide what shapes! :o)
Oh and getting text messages saying that my friend from home is coming up for the weekend for a surprise visit to see me!!! Uber excited as I miss my friends lots when I’m away.
I love TiLT, it always gives me something to look forward to, and if I’m feeling low, it shows me that there is no need to be, especially when there are so many things out there that I love!
Sunshin
