Big things disguised as little things.

My Dad just told me he loves me.
It's the first time he has said that in 10 years.

It made me smile.

Laugh In Their Faces

I've spent all day listening to The Whitlams.
I find their music so loaded.
I played 'Love This City' on repeat through Year 12.
'Torch the Moon' brings me back into my relationship with Chris.
And 'Eternal Nightcap' makes me thankful of my best friend Tim.

Humm... I should stop procrastinating and get back to study.
But quite fittingly 'Laugh In Their Faces' is playing.

"...and they wouldn't have a clue about what it's like to be lazy when you've got too much to do!"
The story of my life. x

Sick of being sick!

Not a very interesting title I know.

I blame my lack of original thought on my current state of feeling "blah". Sickness has filled my weekend with sleep. Yes, that is all I have done. Ohh... that and eat (i [heart] strawberry jam on toast... drool!)

It's never good being sick, but it does have some positives. I've watched six episodes of 'America's Next Top Model', I haven't had to make my bed (because I am always in it), and I have rediscovered my blog!

So... I've dusted off the virtual cobwebs, read through some old blogs, and am ready to write something profound!

Humm... "i LiKE STUFF?!"

Okay, I agree... that was very lame. I think it's time for more Panadol and a small 'Nanna Nap'. I will try this 'blogging' business some other time. x

A snipit from a conversation with Amrita...

"Just because there is no one better in your life doesn't mean you don't deserve better."

It's just a 'mocha' phase!

I've changed.
And not in a 'I-haven't-showered-in-two-days-and-I’m-finally-changing-into-a-new-set-of-clothes' kinda way.
My change is more subtle.
It is from within.
And I am just starting to notice it.

No longer can I define myself as a 'double-strength-skinny-cap' kinda gal.
Now I'm a 'mocha' lady.

I don't know what made me turn to the 'dark chocolate side'.
Maybe it's the sweet aftertaste, or maybe it's my desire for to be different.
But I couldn't deny it any longer.
I had to admit it.

I told my Mum the news last night. She cried.
I told my co-workers at the coffee shop. They said it is just a phase.

The only support I got was from my Step Dad. He congratulated me, and said he knew I'd eventually see the joy of a good mocha.

So now I sit at my computer. Rain pouring outside; mocha in hand. I put the warm chocolaty drink to my lips, and savor the taste.
It is a little piece of heaven.

And I think to myself....
"this isn't a phase, it's a lifestyle choice!"

RUBBiSH



Work is rubbish... but it gives me time to draw rubbish illustrations.

Nuff' said, Vee

If you carry your childhood with you, you never become older!


I have been manipulating photographs from my childhood over the past few weeks. After a lot of Photoshop, stacks of cutting and a bit of painting I have come up with this.
I love how the piece evokes both confusion and nostalgia from the viewer... and am looking forward to creating more when holidays begin!!!
