Things I Love Thursday
[ 28 January 2009 ]
Louise L. Hay — I watched the movie of You Can Heal Your Life a few days ago & was blown away. I’ve heard a lot about the book, & had a friend in Auckland who was obsessed with it, but I’ve never even flicked through it. Well, the film version is tremendous, & is really less about healing your life than it is about moving forward & creating the kind of life you’ve always wanted. I recommend getting your hands on it however you can!
Mystic Medusa — I love her. I discovered her thanks to a nonpareil recommendation this week, read one blog entry & immediately signed up for her daily horoscopes. I’m really loving them, too — she talks about how the planets are moving & how that impacts us. The one I got this morning was incredible! Her blog is great as well, check it out, especially if you’re interested in astrology like I am. I feel like I am learning plenty just by reading it! (& I really want to get a reading, aaaaargh! If I do I will let you all know how it goes!)
Girl Talk — Just like his show in New York City, his show in Wellington on Saturday was brilliant. It was also a roaring, rollicking, orgasmic, deliciously nutritious, no-holds-barred, good old-fashioned sweatfest. I have never been so sweaty in my entire life. I know this does not sound sexy, but it is the truth. The whole room was going NUTS. It was like someone had gone wild with a hose. This was not an “Oh gee how embarrassing, I have sweat patches on my t-shirt” thing. This was a “My entire t-shirt is soaked & stuck to me” thing. This was a “Why is my cardigan, which is tied onto my bag, damp? OH, because it has been TOUCHING MY LEGS OCCASIONALLY”. Suffice to say, it was completely amazing, I had a rad time, & it was hilarious to be around so many sodden people.
This photo!
Try It On Everything — Yes, another movie! I’ve watched a few this week but I made a point to watch things that were going to improve my life in some way, not just distract me or provide some kind of downtime, & funnily enough, I keep finding movies that are of direct interest to me. So I’ve been watching them. Anyway, Try It On Everything is a movie about EFT, one of my favourite things ever. Those of you who are new to iCiNG might not have heard me talk about it — it’s a healing technique that I swear by & has completely changed my life. The movie is incredible, & you can watch the trailer at the above link.
Travel plans — I am deeply embroiled in itinerarymania. As a Virgo, this is one of my favourite parts of the travel process: organising it. Where am I going to go, & with whom? I’m currently plotting my late February/early March trip, which goes from Los Angeles to San Francisco to Austin to New York City. Mmmmmhmm. I am about to start making lists. Among the things I want to do are see the bat caves & the bat statue in Austin (!) & visit Charles Manson’s house in San Francisco. Uh huh. FUN. I am going to go to Borders, sit in the travel section & make extensive notes. What a nerd!
Honorary mentions: Re-reading old journals (& even better, reading them aloud to your friends & laughing until you can’t breathe); tidying, cleaning, re-organising when your brain feels like a slumbering cephalopod; Beastie Boys; enormous sunglasses with diamantes on the arms; sweet girls at MAC who make you over for fun; Lunice; rapping while hooping (Juicy is a perennial favourite); rapping at karaoke (haha, ditto); the phrase “leapfrog-the-homeless” (!!!); this!; weiiiird dreams; friends who encourage you to go on adventures; Dior couture (drool-o-rama); coming first place in Gran Turismo (& I haven’t played a video game in about 5 years); going out for dinner with my parents & laughing the whole time; the new Antony & the Johnsons album; Mercury retrograde drawing to a swift close (this weekend!); swimming in the sea (in sunglasses & a headscarf no less); Sara Bareilles; pretending that irritating people are actually just performing for your entertainment & putting on a really bad play; dreaming about spending sprees in Agent Provocateur; Lily Allen’s He Wasn’t There; Soul Position; being really proud of & excited for my friends; DJ Z-Trip; Jake; “...& then we all got chest infections”, & watching the President & First Lady dance to Beyonce. Yes, I cried. It was an amazing moment.
I know there was no TiLT last week — I unwittingly upped my MSM dosage & spent the day feeling horrific — so let’s make this one a bumper edition! Write a big big big love list, pile scoops of it up high like a $1000 ice-cream sundae drizzled with chocolate sauce & gold flakes. Tell your twin sister to get in on it, ask your grandma what she’d add, & think bigger, bolder & more magically than ever before!
Love letters & feather headdresses,

Lots of love!
XOXO
The book Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer – I have cried and laughed out loud a hundred times it. is. the. best. book. of. the. year. Even if you don’t like reading it is sooo worth the effort! All centred around New York too – bonus!
Also: * Planning the Icing Challenge! Yippee I am sooo excited!
* The kids I work with and their crazy and awesome ways of thinking!
* My parents & eating their wonderful home grown food!
* Being so darned excited about life (even in 43 degree heat here in Australia!)
* Having new movies to watch! (thx Gala!)
* And really … just being alive and loving it!
Going away for 6 days with my family and cousins (9 people) and just having the best time soaking up the beautifulness of New Zealand (we went waaay up north, close enough to pop up to the Cape). This amazing weather is just making everything so easy!
Different hairstyles every day (for a week!).
Brushing my teeth in the shower; somehow less tiresome.
Sewing. I just love it.
Left-handedness. (Barack!)
Maps of Prydain. www.flickr.com/photos/22775726
My rotary clothesline. SO much better than a stationary one.
Cherries. Yum.
The movie Australia – a big, gorgeous, simple story. I loved it.
- Watching the inauguration on the airplane on the little TVs in the backs of the seats and people clapping afterward – purple skinny jeans – dancing at a rooftop bar with my umbrella in the rain – gorgeous sunsets that that I don’t expect to see in the winter – making plans to participate in the iTC this time around! – my sweet old neighbor who gives me homemade chicken soup – silent reading time
:)
-to do lists! (and crossing things out)
-funny videos on the internet that are actually funny and not accompanied by awful comments
-sleeping in
-sleeping naked!
-productivity
-my sleeping dog
-mini trampolines!
-signing my name
-future apartment planning
-thinking about trying out holistic healing
-self portraits
-plush mustaches!
Louise Hay is amazing…i have her flip book so I can just open it when my certain body part is off and say her affirmations!
1. pulling myself together after looong stinky funk
2. finally joining facebook and LOVING IT!
3. roasted green beans with honey and thyme
4. the pineapple express
Thank you Gala!! I remember the exact moment I fell in love with Louise, picking up You Can Heal Your Life (the pretty and colorful copy with huge love hearts all of it) in 1999 I have not let it out of my sight since..in fact I have my hand on it right now. Obsessed? You betcha!
OK my TiLT – The amount of bling I have in my bag in prep for a visit with my cosmic twin Bunny Hoop Star. – Shopping for おみあげ (gifts/souvenirs) – Silver and gold lycra with stars all over it – Dancing with fire – Jumping into a warm futon with freezing cold toes – Dreaming of adventures
Thursday loving to you!
-I have love/hate relationship with the weather right now. It ruined my date, but the snow is just so pretty…
-“Transatlanticism”, Death Cab for Cutie. The whole album, but the song in particular.
-Spontaneous adventures.
-Red hair! YES!
-The break from school.
-Russian pop music!
-Filling up pages in new notebook.
-Anticipating the ITC
Speaking of Agent Provocateur. Violet Blue just did a post showing their helpful reminder about Valentine’s Day. It’s brilliant!
My TiLT:
1. Charm City Cakes- They’re edible art and they bring my love of cake to an all new orgasmic high.
2. The Tenth Stage- I just discovered this Australian band that I can’t pigeonhole into a genre because they don’t sound like they belong in one.
3. Hula Hooping- I blame you for rekindling my childhood romance with the hula hoop. I forgot how much fun it is.
4. Lingerie- The store I work at just got a whole bunch of stuff in for Valentine’s Day, but I’m a firm believer of wearing lingerie everyday and not just for special occasions.
5. Rediscovering why I love certain musicians- After listening to Tori Amos, Interpol, Sonic Youth and Belle & Sebastian for most of the day I rediscovered why.
My TiLT: – Compressed schedules in college – Party Cake ice cream – 2 year olds who play hide and seek with birthday hats – My peacock binder – Fetish Boots!
- New haircut, which makes me feel so much more human and pretty and in love with my hair again
- Big amazing tattoos and endorphines (even though ow it hurts and is all ink-leaking grossness right now, half an hour after we finished)
- Planning my wedding HOLY SHIT WE DECIDED ON A DATE ARGH, and also I get to go wedding-dress trying-on. Because even though I’m going to make mine, you can’t pass up trying on princess dresses with your best friend and little sister!
- Amazing handbags (Gala, your last post made me go looking for more bright pink bags and now I can’t get this Vivienne Westwood bag out of my head: www.viviennewestwoodonline.co…. . The NZ exchange rate is so bad and I’ve already mentally spent my course-related costs and paychecks for the next six months on tattoos, I can’t go lusting after beautiful handbags now!)
- Deciding to take my life in order and start going to a gym and eating better. Our meals may not be low-fat and 100% healthy (my partner and I have a serious addiction to dairy), but not giving in to a junk-food whim at 3am is making me feel so much better!
- The new Fruju iceblock. I’m not sure how well this meshes with my previous item, but they’re amazing and delicious! Grapefruit and lemon-lime sorbet, YUM! New Zealand summer just isn’t the same without an iceblock on a stick dripping down your fingers on one of these long hot days
My mum bought me “You Can Heal Your Life” when I was struggling with moving away for uni. But I’ve never read it as I’ve always thought of it containing some crazy, over optimistic mantras. Maybe I should give it a go.
Girl Talk = awesome!! They play him on triple j, but I’ve not been able to get his CD. I went and saw The Ting Tings, and that concert was the same mind-blowing, sweat fest that you described – best feeling ever.
It’s hard this week – I’m grumpy and PMSing and just got a letter notifying me of a rent increase, gahh … but I’ll try, I’ll try.
• Wearing a child’s silk kimono and the swooshy-ness of the sleeves.
• Getting everything in order for my next group exhibition. Feeling organised and on top of it.
• Taking advantage of northern hemisphere sales and buying reduced-price cashmere!
• New sunglasses from awesomeboy.
• Talking to my parents on the phone who calm me down and make everything seem so manageable.
Ooh yay for movies! You should check out the movie Flakes with Zooey Deschanel: one word—ADORABLE.
Ah I’m so excited about my zineeee! We’re saving for a trip to Chicago and everything’s starting to come together… We just need an interview with a magical pink-haired girl… Wherever shall we find one? ;) Haha.
Do you know of any websites or stuff on starting a zine? Perhaps an article? Is there an existing article on how to be a magazine editor? I think I recall one… Lemme Search. Kisses!
xoxo

While you are in LA you should go up to our Bat Cave which is where they filmed the opening to the classic Adam West era series. It’s too kitsch to pass up and it’s right up there with the Hollywood Sign.

Such beautiful photos. Wonderful concept.
I just listened to Girl Talk for the first time about a week ago… dude. It’s crazy. Good music to listen to while you’re building a computer. Hell, it even makes cleaning the apartment feel like a super cool party lifestyle thing to do.

Things I love today…
1. I love school. I am old but I still love learning. I am so greatful and thankful that I live in a country that allows me to be who ever I want to be.
2. I love my independence. I am a single mother and I love the fact that I have my own house, car, and make my own money. I love that I can come and go as I please, I don’t have to answer to anyone. I make lots of mistakes as I go but I have to opportunity to make it right in the second round. I don’t know what kind of wife I would be if I got married. I think that I am too independent. But that is okay with me.
3. I love precut chicken. I know weird, but I got a pack of chicken from costco and it was already cut and skinned and ready to cook. I love it.
4. I love family. I am very proud of the background that I have and where I have come from. In my background, I have tremendous amounts of culture and tradition, for that I am who I am. I am very lucky to be able to practice the traditions that have been passed down from many generations, and I am proud to say that I am Johnnabah.
5. I love having goals. Some are small, some are big. But they help me stay on track. I think that I work better knowing that I have a reward waiting for me at the end of the tunnel.
Well, that’s it. I know sometimes I am too deep, but honestly, I have a lot to be thankful for and I love a lot of stuff, so, I try to think about it before I get to Thursday. HAHA. I hope you enjoyed.
-My Angel, she is my life and everything in it. 11 months yesterday!
-Fountain pens!
-Learning more in the first month of work than in the 5 years of school I took to get here.
-Fine dining, food tastes better the more it costs.
Curious to hear your reasons for taking MSM (if you’d like to share). I was recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia and have seen that come up as possible supplements to help.
-I love snow days when the entire college shuts down and my roommate and I brave the super deep slush puddles just to get to a coffee shop to celebrate!
-I love how when I’m feeling insignificant I can tell me best friend and she wont get all crazy and tell me to knock it off, she’ll say that everyone does sometimes and she’ll remind me that she loves me.
-I love Tazo Tea lattes from Starbucks!!! (1 of 2 drinks that I like from them, I’m not really a Starbucks girl)
-Amanda Palmer’s solo cd, Who Killed Amanda Palmer (highly recommend it to anyone with a slightly unusual music taste)
-My pretty notebook for Organic Chemistry. I figured if the notebook was cool enough I might not hate the subject so much. We’ll see…
TiLt!!!

I love:
Green tea with lemon, Slumdog Millionaire, studying in coffee shops, the Highlands (Scotland), caramel shortbread, the Koala Brothers, learning, Cloud Atlas, skirts, my family, long chats with Emily, making progress, planning for the iTC, getting to live somewhere new for a while, moon rainbows and ribbons in my hair!!
Hooping!:Thank you Gala for my new obsession! I was so excited to start hooping I ran out and bought all the supplies to make my own hoop because I couldn’t bear the idea of waiting for one to come in the mail. After the first 3 days I had a decent sized bruise on my hip and my midsection was quite sore but I love every minute of it.
The upcoming transformation challenge: I’m super excited to use my new enthusiasm for hooping as my challenge.
Mercury retrograde ending!!!: I can not express enough how happy I will be when mercury retrograde is over! I’m a Gemini and I really felt it this time!
Spring Break: Even though its a little over a month away I’m sooo excited to go visit my friends in Portland and take awesome road trips to San Fran, Seattle and possibly Canada :)
Things I’m loving….
*tea-length dresses *super-energizing trips to the gym with friends. Gossiping on the rowing machines FTW! *English muffins smothered in honey. Mmmm… *finally feeling like I belong *my graphic design internship with a women’s magazine! Whooo-hooo!
My Tilt is comsumed by one thing and one thing only:
The three month trip to Peru and Bolivia that I leave for tomorrow! Ahhhhh! Squeeeee! Puuuuuke!
surf lessons! witch doctors! carnival! $5 hostel rooms!
And most importantly? Lots and lots of llamas.
Oh, I haven’t done a TiLT in ages! It’s far past time!
- Ballet lessons! I’ve been taking a class every Saturday, which is awesome! (It also makes me try new and exciting outfits, since I’m wearing tights and skirts instead of jeans, ooh la!)
- BABIES! I know of four impending babies among my coworkers, friends/friends’ families, and so I’m already hard at work knitting away on baby blankets.
- People’s generosity! I’m trying to help out my roommate’s dog with some fundraising giveaways, and people have been so kind with their help!
- Mercury retrograde ending on Sunday! Yes, I’m totally stoked about this too.
- Boys! I had a first date last Saturday that went really well, which was exciting, and I’ll likely be seeing him again this Saturday… so it’s exciting!
-my OWL MUG!!! it is pink and soooooo cute. m bought it for me as a late x-mas present as i HAD to have it. I LOVE IT!!! AHHH!!
(http://www.target.com/Valentine-Owl-Latte-Mug-Set/dp/B001ELPFY0?node=16065951)
-raw carrots!
-Dayvan Cowboy by Boards of Canada

the first time i heard this song i had been drinking shots of soco by the sink with a good friend and i was laying on his bed, staring at the ceiling contemplating life, feeling warm and fuzzy, and he played this song for me. it blew my mind because it seemed to go on forever. i just found out the name of it and listened to it for the first time in two years. still powerful stuff. i like their other music too.
-spiced cider packets
-learning to shoot basketball and playing with friends (every time i play i feel like i am in one tree hill)!
-anatomy lab
-looking at pictures of sushi on flickr (for actualization purposes, haha).
-m. he is truly amazing and i love him so much, we’re just having such a good time in our relationship right now and it is exciting. i feel a lot more easy-going and secure this time around.
not quitting at anything-video games, class work, etc.-the lj group ofmornings
-going to bed “early” (well, before 2am)
+ Chatting it up with tall, dark, and handsome Dominican boys
+ Having a father-daughter afternoon at the bookstore
+ Finding out the local Blockbuster added a new Foreign Film section!!
+ Moving on to the final semester of high school
+ Not being so stressed anymore
- My mom. She is wonderful, and amazing, and has this beautiful loving compassion for me when I make those stupid mistakes that most teenagers manage to make. Even when they’re really big stupid mistakes. She always has perspective.
- My cat. Always, always knows when I’m having a horrible day. He spent all night curled up right next to me…a soft white fluffy blob of purring comfort!
- Days to myself. I have my school schedule set that I have Thursdays off, and I really, really needed it today. I can get some decent sleep, make tea, feel sorry for myself, procrastinate on homework by finding things online, and so on and so forth.
- Tea.
- Planning. I love planning. I don’t always follow through. But I love calendars and lists and schedules and planning things a few months in advance.
- Good books. They’re amazing. I have officially hit That Stage of my winter, where I want to burrow into a pile of pillows and blankets with a huge store of tea and soft french baguettes and chocolate and all of the books I own, and not come out until approximately August.
I have been having a pretty hard time of it for the past several weeks, so I’m just grateful for the simple things that make me feel better today. =]
Things I Love this week:
-Because we missed last week, I have to include it now: the inauguration of Barack Obama! I was there! And it was awesome.
-I just a job! Yay for income!
-My new clothes from Old Navy. My new brown cords, grey denim pencil skirt, and high-waisted black tulip skirt fit amazingly and work with everything in my wardrobe!
-Lavender eyeshadow
-Fresh salads
-Preparing for the iTC!
-Trying to get to bed at a reasonable time
Oh, I forgot!
- Planning next term! I am so excited. I am taking 12 credits instead of 16, I am taking a business class that I’ve wanted to take all year, and I am super stoked. I can’t wait to have all that free time to pursue my outside-of-school desires and activities! And I can’t wait to take that business class. AND it will be spring term, which means that when it’s over, I’ll have officially survived my first year of college!
making insane weekend plans to make up for the monotony of our weekdays, the feeling that something amazing is about to happen, cheek twitches, new dresses, phonecalls, the colour grey (englands skies !)
love it :)
HELLO DARLINGS!
I Love:
FOCALIN It’s really helping! I was recently diagnosed with adult ADHD. I learned that ADHD persons have problems procrastinating, can’t remember things, can’t finish anything, and basically like a million other things that I do too. I am so excited for positive changes!
PINK HAIR at 5:30 today, I will go from half pink to full pink! I am SO EXCITED! Mexico needs a pink haired backpacker!
TOMORROW IS MY LAST DAY AT WORK Ahhhhhhhhh!!
TWHIRL
