Things I Love Thursday
[ 9 April 2009 ]
Dear Antipodeans,
I’m so sorry that you are getting this on a Friday morning. (Hopefully it will help kick your weekend off in style, though!) I’m going to do my best to get more organised so that TiLT posts at midnight New York time — 4pm Thursday in New Zealand, & somewhere around noon in Australia. I love you!
Horror movies in bed on a Sunday; boys who make you breakfast & coffee in the morning; listening to records until 4am; spending time with really great, strong, hilarious women; boys with clean houses (cannot be overestimated); CHLOE; Pure’s S&M salad; accessory-buying binges at Forever 21; Cadbury mini eggs (with a candy shell!); international playgirl breakfast meetings; Deftones’ Around The Fur (oh to be an angsty teenager again); technicolour pool parties; Trent Reznor’s current playlist; KRS-One; cupcakes for breakfast (always); people who value good coffee; New York’s weather (always keeps me guessing?!); wearing bunny ears on the subway; dancing on trains in high heels; thugs on the street who tell you they love your hair; getting my creative spark back; fun writing projects (I have to write about my experiences with my Time Out New York dating profile — SO excited!); talking about the power & magic of names; NUBBY; decorating International Playgirl HQ; catching up on my sleep; constantly meeting smart, funny, cute, good people; lying in bed & laughing; sudden snowflakes; upcoming shows in the planetarium at the Museum of Natural History (hell yes); making midnight snack dates; massages; calling super-fun hot girls “supertramps”; the guys at the deli downstairs (they are always so cute & happy); singing Don’t Stop Believin’ with Jenah (new BFF uh huh) at the top of our lungs at a bar in Queens; sandwiches & Drake.
Oh Biggie, give me one more chance…

Your turn, little star-lover. Tell us what is making your galaxy bloom & explode with delight!
Love letters & feather headdresses,

Love the list. I love Cadbury mini eggs too…definitely cravin’ some right now…
Yes! Trent Reznor’s playlist is so good. Have a fantastic weekend Gala :D
Being with a friend of mine, finding out that we don’t have any money for the bus, and therefore walking at the side of the road reading poems aloud; travelling with my friend; drinking juice on a bus at 10.30 in the morning; taking pictures; sweet messages from my boyfriend (he’s been missing me!
+therapy
+peeps!
+dubstep remixes
+sunshine
+my hair
+hugging
+long naps
+lily allen’s song “the fear”
+twittering
+night gowns
+grades that make you feel good, even if they aren’t A’s.
How did you meet Jenah???
Magicakes — She’s a friend of my friend… & she’s hilarious :D
Today I love asparagus, shiny nails, wavy hair, and friends who travel a long way to visit me.
I prefer the Cadbury Caramel Eggs, but finding just one is hard, and it would be dangerous for me to purchase a whole box of twelve.
+Getting cute flickrmails from cute boys
+Red dresses
+My Panda :“http://www.lacasapanda.com” friend n_n
+Lady Gaga oh yeah!
+The Twilight DVD n_n (I love FF to the scenes with Jasper in them)
+Twitter
+The fact that I over prepared for the water supply cut that is happening in Mexico City
+The new Safari
+Excitement over new Macbook (which is coming SOON!)
Sweet find on the Trent Reznor playlist!
Silly vlogs from far away friends, 3am wake up phone calls from the studio, the new KTV album, laptop shopping, twitter, Minneapolis travel planning, Rock The Bells announcements, Mayda, heart shaped vinyl, silly voicemails, and snail mail surprises.
Oh! Cadbury Mini Eggs are my fave Easter candy- maybe my fave seasonal candy all-around! I love to suck on them until the candy shells cracks and dissolves..
My Tilt:
+ Making great customer connections at work (making other people feel good makes ME, in turn, feel so good!)
+ Late night driving epiphanies
+ The full moon & sky last night..so eerie.
+ My new F21 sunnies- they make me feel like a supafine ’50s/‘60s glamour movie star.
+ Making plans to go to Playa Del Fuego
+ Fresh fruit smoothies for lunch daily.
Mmm mini eggs, I buy a load of those, as well as creme eggs every year and hoard them to eat when they’ve left the shop shelves! They never last more than a few weeks though!
Good coffee is my absolute lifeblood, it always makes me happy to find another good cafe to spend my time in!
My TiLT is here: sparkleandglitter.co.uk/2009/0…
warm weather, mimosas, leggings with buttons on the bottoms, twee pop, a pet mouse that i rescued from becoming snake food, movie nights, this one pair of tights that i get compliments on every time i wear them, sporcle.com, hula hoops
gala, have you ever read “the pesky meddling girl’s guide to life”? i feel like you could have written it.
My friend was very “Team Jenah” during her stint on ANTM.
I’ve been enjoying working out, I’ve been doing it alot more consistently lately and it feels good.
Oh man, Mini Eggs! They have such a distinctive smell, which is driving me crazy this year (I am never EVER giving chocolate up again!)
Birdie — He posted about it on Twitter! twitter.com/trent_reznor !!!
diana — So funny you say that, I actually ordered that book off Amazon last week & received it the other day! I’ve had a flick through but not had time to really delve into it yet, but I have known about Jennifur for years!
Nicole — She is totally unlike what I was expecting, though I can’t really say what I was expecting… She is hilarious & awesome, though!
You were in Queens? Whereabouts?
Hey, I don’t know if you’re up for meeting more of your loyal readers, but my lovely housemates and I have been going brunch-hunting recently, and have found some awesome places in Astoria. Would you care to join us sometime? We are definitely some of those good people you’re talking about, and there’s nothing like mimosas on a Sunday morning! :)
@ Diana – I own the Pesky Meddling Girl’s guide, and I LOVE it. It’s so fun and inspiring! :) I also have her book “Life is a Movie, Starring You.”
IKEA.
Possibly actual Bob Bryan following me on Twitter.
Life has been pretty, meh for the past 6 months.
Oh, and by the way, here’s the big thing I love this week:
The fact that the editor of a website where I applied to be a daily blogger, while not hiring me for the original position, so loves my work that he’s trying to figure out another way for us to work together and is LOOKING for money to pay me! :) If that’s not an ego boost, I don’t know what is!
Oranges and peeling oranges, early morning cuddle sessions, running into people on the street and everywhere else in between, late-night ice cream and midnight breakfast runs, Yaffa Cafe, Sundaes and Cones, taro ice cream, matcha lattes, getting a letter back that I wrote last summer to myself at orientation (was it really that long ago? or rather, that short ago?), going to poetry readings, getting my inspiration back, smiling at everyone, calling old friends, silly emails from my mom, bright red bags with big bows, wearing my hot pink flats out again, rose quartz hearts, unexpected text messages from cute boys, going to the Met in a pretty dress, all the Renaissance drawings, being complimented by museum curators who called me “beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!” and holding hands at seven in the morning. heehee
we lurves you gala!
okay, i know i say something about my blog for TiLT, but I seriously love love love my post about drinking and dieting:

** Plotting vacations…even if they may not happen.
**Making new friends, then introducing them to all your favorite spots
**Going home this weekend to see my family and the dogs!

Local places that offer ‘suicide’ as a flavor option for their hot & spicy wings :D
KNOWING YOU’LL FINALLY HAVE SEX FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOUR MONTHS THIS WEEKEND WOO!
:D
Being real.
Being confident in who I am, which might be “a little person” to other people, but I’m okay with that.
Not compromising my passions to achieve superficial compensation.
Never forgetting that I set out to achieve happiness, and never allowing my head to get too big.
Always having reminders of these things whenever I see what I COULD become if I stopped trying. ;)
Chocolate shops, external hard drives, collecting pretty pictures, new music, searching for the perfect notebook to start the semester with, buying pens, helping my sister design her dining room, and a bunch of other things! I posted a big list up on my blog! :D

Oh my god I have been SO busy . . . and like you say, I keep missing TiLT coz by the time it goes up I’ve already left town for the weekend (and no, I DON’T take my internet with me!).
My list:
Zumba! Are you ready to party? I qualified as an instructor last weekend. Whoo!
It’s Easter. Which means hot X buns and school holidays and its 10.30am and every single person in this house is still in their jamas.
More on school holidays – Term One was huge and I changed my life so much, bigging up my career. Now it’s done! It was like a ten-week iCiNG transformation challenge. I’m exhausted but so much stronger.
Daniel Merriweather.
Go Girls (I know !). I love Cody and Kevin. And Britta’s hair (v. jealous).
- watching the it crowd, while i’ve been sick
- being a bit poor this week, so i’ve been giving haircuts at my house in exchange for food!
- my mother finding vegan mini eggs with a candy shell, covered in gold leaf – and sending me a huge package of them.
- grey days, an incredible pink dress in the mail, new boots!
This week I love:
Turning 21! It was my birthday yesterday, and now I can buy all the alcohol I fancy. In accordance with that, I also love frou-frou cocktails.
My new birthday presents to myself: makeup from Sephora, a Beatles t-shirt from Lucky Brand and some fabulous thrift store rings!
I also love: warm weather, happy hour, sweet kisses, laying in bed with the boy, keeping the pullout bed out and snuggling with all my friends, sitting on the roof, dreaming of summer, free magazines, Jezebel, and nogoodforme.com
Now that the weather is finally (kind of) getting warm there’s so many things to love!
+ Crocuses
+ Spring thunderstorms
+ Wearing skirts again
+ Lemon tea
+ Walks along the river
(o:
The film August Rush. Watch it. It will make your heart explode with wonder.
It truly is brilliant.

You know that Trent Reznor must always be pronounced rez-NOR so that you bellow out the last bit. It’s funny I promise you.
I love being back in Auckland, somehow I love Auckland now even though I never used to.
I love hearing cute kiwi accents all the time. And cute kiwi boys! Especially nerdy cute kiwi boys! I want to give all the nerdy cute kiwi boys in the world a big kiss. I love being at uni, this time a course I actually like! Biology! I love nerds the most. NERDS!

my friends Oh friends how i love you, i love your fairness, your patience, the way you can inspire me when all else seem to fail. I’ve been having a better week just because of a phonecall, an email, long night talks untill its almost sunrise, forgotten friends that suddenly reach out to you.

My oh so understanding bf who can even calm me down long distance, My new dinosaur tshirt, Just to put this on the background in the hope someone wants to conversate with me about it ,
- Trent Reznor’s Digg interview. He never ceases to amaze me. Absolutely love him to death.

*Pilates! Im doing them by myself after doing it at the gym for a year. Rocks my socks off!

*Having strong wise women around me- my mum and my sister. I love then so so much!

Happy long weekend!!

-work flirt partners
-spring! spring flowers!
-climbing things that I’m not supposed to :)
OMG. My week has been really cool. Anyway, wanted to do the list.
root beer w/ liquor in it—drinks, being outgoing and trying new things with other people, realizing happiness is near, getting sweet and thoughtful compliments, getting my hoop taped, getting crafty stuff done, wearing bunny ears and heart shaped sunglasses all day, entering myself into a hot dog eating contest with three other people.
I think that’s it. :)
I love my friends. I’ve been away from them for six months, and they’ve all been so cool about it and even cooler about the fact that I might now soon leave them permanently to go live on the other side of the planet!
I love my family. Spent half the week with them and it just reminded me that even though we are very different, we still really stick together and have tons of fun. It’s super lovely.
I love Copenhagen in the springtime! I can’t even describe this in words. It’s just perfect.
Brighton
Buying a really warm hoodie
Sleeping
Spending loads of time with my friends
Half term
Being blonde again
Pigeons
I’m in LOVE with Cadbury mini eggs! Every time I eat one, I want another one! Mmmmmmm I love Easter feasts
I thought this submitted before but i guess not…
+my amazing angel, without her i’m nothing!
+having dinner with the inlaws for the first time, so nervous!
+reading, my book is so great
+long weekends
My TiLT:
The fact that my Birthday is only 3 days away! Eff Yeah!
Easter. Pounds of food, ridiculous dresses, bunnies.. Its gonna rock.
Planning for my trip to Florida. Its still a month away but I am so freaking excited!
Getting a few minutes to rest. This week has been super crazy. Makes me appreciate the little moments when nothing major is happening.
Notorious BIG; dark nail polish; super smelly candles; KITTIES; iPod touch; sunshine; skinny jeans; bike rides on my granny bike (while I ride I looove listening to death metal…I wish I had a loud speaker); cofffeeee
+ The new book I bought ‘queuing for beginners’ by Joe Moran.
It’s fascinating.
+ Lady Gaga.
She’s just getting popular here in the UK.. Her music is amazing.
+ Discovering food stores that only sell vegan/vegetarian/organic products.
Not easy to find over here but I’m so glad I have.
+ Cute independent second hand book stores which coincidentally have the most amazing coffee too.
I could happily sit in there all day.
+ Finally making sense of the life I want to live and making positive steps to getting there.
Scary, but exciting at the same time.
+ Ben & Jerry’s cookie dough ice cream.
Yes please!
+ Next college year.
I am SO excited to start the next term in September.. I finally feel like I’ve chosen the classes I want to do & the ones I’m happy with.
+ Agreeing to fresh starts with family members you never thought you could get along with.
I was so close to my cousin when we were young, but she made some bad choices and hurt people that I love but has definitely changed now. I never thought I could get past what she did but it feels SO refreshing to not have those bad feelings all the time & life is too just too short frankly.
+ Steve Pavlina’s blog.
Never ceases to amaze and inspire me and make me question my life! (in a good way!).
+ Writing.
I really don’t know how I would cope if I didn’t write.
Things I love…..
+ sleeping in on rainy days
+ spooning
+ rose flavored cupcakes
+ traveling to see people you miss way too much
+ dancing like a fool
+ the smell of coffee
+ your pink hair! :)
