Escapades: 6. Stop this train- John Mayer Posted 5/16/2007 10:56:19 PM I cut my hair last week. Since then, I've been having bipolar emotions towards it. Right now, I really don't like it. It's not sitting on my head very nicely and this makes me sad. This week has been particularly boring, especially in the go-to-uni-then-go-to-work-then-procrastinate-and-watch-tv sense. Today was meant to be the most exciting day yet but several reasons meant that I stay at home and catch up on my personality psychology lectures. And if I'm really good, perhaps even start learning Design and Statistics which I'm failing because I know nothing. Which, although probably beneficial in the long run, is actually quite disappointing at this very moment. What happened to going out to dinner and ferris wheels and fairy floss stands and pretty dresses? Man, how I miss that. I hate Sydney for shutting down Wonderland. It was the best thing outside Drive In cinemas. I really wanted to go shopping today. And lie under the sun, blowing dandelion clocks. And to be fair, I guess I can go another day. But when you’re disappointed, nothing else matches up to what today could have been. … I just glanced in the mirror. My hair is feral. (0) Comments

Escapades: 5: One by one- Enya Posted 5/9/2007 3:02:34 AM Lost in translation is the best definition of my life right now. I’m stuck in a foreign world and they’re all speaking a language I can’t interpret. What happened to talking with your hands? It died five years ago it seems. You want that, you go to Italy. (Not saying they’re five years late. They just like their history) Today, I stayed home so I could catch up the six hours of my psychology lectures. Instead, I have fallen behind eight hours. I want to save up enough money to fly to Europe. Although, it doesn’t help if what I’m doing right now is trying to think of the best way not to go to work tonight. I hope I find Scarlett Johansson soon. (0) Comments

Escapades: 4: The heart of life- John Mayer Posted 4/14/2007 9:21:36 PM Happy Sri Lankan New Year! It's one thing to host a fashion parade, but completely another thing to host an entire concert. Which I'm not really doing, but one is allowed to exaggerate. But smile! For it's a new year and there are sweets to be eaten, photos to be taken, sarees to be worn and friends to laugh with. Oh did I mention presents to get excited about? (0) Comments

Escapades: 3: Fast car- Tracy Chapman Posted 4/7/2007 10:50:02 AM I've got Tracy Chapman's Fast Car in my head. It reminds me of high school nostalgia and plans that never quite turn out. That song! The one that reminds you of orange leaves, sunlight through tree tops and feet sinking into wet sand. Summer in a sight that still makes you smile. (You also agree in teenage angst). Then there's the image of lying on a best friend's trampoline, day after high school finals, hair in curls and massive sunglasses as you lie there, playing the cloud game. And then you remember you haven't given them a second thought lately. So where are you? Here? Hello? I miss you. Hold my hand, lets get high. (0) Comments

Escapades: 2: Hey now now- The Cloud Room Posted 4/2/2007 8:25:50 AM Oh how I don't want to get a disappointing mark for Psychology. COMPROMISE 1: Finish writing up Lectures 3 and 4 and start rereading the nonsensical lecture notes from Weeks 4 and 5. COMPROMISE 2: Finish writing up Lectures 3, 4 and 5 COMPROMISE 3: Get up early in the morning and start fresh ... REALITY: Wake up at 12pm, work at 3-7 and there goes that day. (1) Comments

Escapades: 1: Girls just wanna have fun- Cyndi Lauper Posted 3/31/2007 7:32:37 PM I've recently decided that in the modern world, there exists too many social... something. Conventions? Perhaps. A word lingers at the back of my head which captures my trail of thought (implications? values?), but let me continue. I am happy. I truly am. Memories of last night makes me beam in a ridiculous sort of way and encourages me to stand on my computer table and close my eyes with my arms open, and balance on the edge with a grin on my face. Because I know when I open my eyes, it's my life that I see. Captured in the 50 odd photos that are glutaked to the wall. Memory One: Last night. I'm in the middle of the circle with three of my best friends and we're laughing because it's her birthday and we're jumping because its an overplayed dance song and we're holding hands because I've known them since my timetables (I was a smart kid). And yet I want to escape. On a cruise with many wildly attractive men. Just so I can have my own stories. But I can't. Because those who do, risk a love that's tainted. So says social ... sigma. There's my word. (0) Comments
