Last October Hampshire and I got married. This means that for ten months of 2011 I was planning a wedding. For the record: I haven’t been planning 'my special day" since I was seven. I don't fetishise white dresses, white tuxes, white ponies and carriages. I am very uncomfortable with grown women using the word "Princess" to describe themselves. Or even worse, that appalling B-word: Bridezilla

The lovely Deidre from Decoybetty tagged me in her post so I have to do this and am meant to tag others. Unfortunately I am kinda new to being an active part of the blogging community, so I doubt I will be able to tag 11 and will certainly have to tag people I have had next to no contact with. Oh well, new contact? :) Apparently, we need to talk about the rules... 1) You must post these rules.

Hello all, I’m The Doctor. Thanks to the lovely Ruby for asking me to write this! I don’t blog, but I do tweet a lot as @Eovaai. I made a list of things that I wanted from 2012 on the last day of 2011. 2011 was a good year for me.  Lots of basking in achievements and relaxing, which I can definitely deal with.  It was the culmination of a lot of work, a lot of sacrifice and was a welcome

All of the few friends I have in Melbourne (hey, I am new here, give me a break huh! ;) )  are busy this weekend. You know what that means? I have plenty of time to get cracking on my projects! The "Curtain" Project is currently well underway, just awaiting the end of budgetary restrictions for completion. We are not here, however, to speak of curtains! No!

Well hello, Ruby’s blog! I’m (not) Deidre, and I blog over at Decoybetty. Let’s talk about 2012. I read this post over at Living Apockylypse about creating a word to sum up how you’d like to live in 2012.  Hers was Unprocrastinate which is obviously a fantastic choice. But for me, the queen of grudge holding, I need something a bit more…releasing. Letgive See, the thing about me is that I

In line with my "All I Want for 2012..." ethos of moving forward, taking control and basically being fabulous I currently have a number of "projects" in the works.  I have always been a fabulous starter and terrible finisher of things. I love the creativity of conceptualising, the thrill of gathering materials and the sense of purpose of 'starting' - it's just that whole boring/sometimes

Dear 2012, We've only just met so a quick introduction, I'm [removed] but you can call me "Miss Can't Drink in Texas Just Yet". A twenty year old music lover who now calls Melbourne home. I'm writing to you because 2011 is leaving me. We shared some great memories, and admittedly some not so good memories, but nothing we couldn't work through. 2011 taught me a lot about myself, and for once I

After all the optimism of the last week, today has just been tough. I dreamt of my ex and the girl he left me for last night and it has plagued me all day. Right now, as I try to sleep, all I can think of is how much I miss him. I hate myself for that because I know I am better off without him and I know he is still poisonous based on things he has said to me very recently and subsequent actions

(To be sung to the tune of "All I Want for Christmas" by Mariah Carey - no, just joking!) In order to inspire myself to actually get cracking on writing a 2012 preview post I decided to invite numerous friends to contribute their thoughts on 2012 to the blog. You will thus see featured on these here pages over January, and possibly beyond, what my nearest and dearest are hoping 2012

It is now a full year since a trip to Europe to spend Christmas with the family of my ex (notice how I avoided having to work out how to spell ex's?!?). It was a pretty emotional time for me, my relationship was not in a good place, I was terribly unhappy and unfulfilled at work and I felt pretty hopeless about the future because I thought I had missed my chance of living and working overseas.

So, kind readers, you would be aware of the fact that this year saw the end of my long term relationship. Whether it be for better or for worse (for the record, it's most likely for the better) I can easily say it's the hardest thing I have been through. It has been a particularly messy break-up and I miss him every day. I have been strong for long periods, avoiding all contact with him but

1. Feeling constantly out of place - I grew up in a very suburban middle class area. Most people I went to school with married in their 20s, settled down with children and work in jobs that have worked in forever because it is stable. Each to their own I guess but I never really felt like I belonged there. 2. The pressure to have a romantic interest - I never saw the point of having a boyfriend

We also interrupt this apparent blog freeze as well. So recently I was dumped by my boyfriend of close to two years. It was rather unexpected given that two weeks earlier we were talking about marriage but not unsurprising given that he has significant mental issues of the narcissistic/BPD variety.I plan to blog more about the whole episode soon, for cathartic reasons.

I have a major fetish for brightly coloured tights. I easily own over 30 pairs and basically use them to add a little colour to my day. I always get at least 1 compliment on my tights a week. Colour makes you feel good people!Sometimes I wonder though if I am subconsciously sending messages by my choice of tight colour - does bright red mean "Stay away people!"? Is bright blue and indication that

I have a number of these people because I am crap at keeping in touch! I hate talking on the phone so don't like to call people to catch up which also acts a hindrance. Due to a recent major life change though I have been getting in touch with some of these people I left behind and it's been fantastic!

This one is easy as it is also the cause of much angst at the moment. I want to live and work in Europe. Being over 31 does make it difficult though, hence the angst. That's enough on that. Sick of feeling shit about it. :(

At the moment I am really struggling with the fact that I am desperate to live and work in Europe. I am currently over the age threshold for a working holiday visa so, whilst the door is not totally closed, it is a little tough to get a visa unless I manage to get sponsored.I am living with major regret that I didn't take more of a punt when I was younger and head over, even if it would have been

Big laugh at how much trouble I had trying to decide what to write here. So typical of a female to be able to write straight away the things she doesn't like about herself but struggle to find the things she does.SO...I am going to turn around the thing I listed as "hating" about myself and demonstrate the side of it that I love! And that is...I am really aware of myself. I don't always have it

So I am a serial thinker - actually over-thinker would be the most suitable term for my brand of thinking. I mull over, consider, stress about, cry about, lose sleep over the most inane things and just can't seem to interrupt my brain. It has caused major issues for me in life and I believe it is the major source of most of my discontentment. How can one be happy when one is constantly

She's Come UndoneWally Lamb Wow, I mean really, wow. The halfway point of this book (conveniently marked with a "Part 2" - thanks Wally!) is graphic and emotional. Watching as characters are set up as one thing and turn into another is like looking at a beautiful painting and then suddenly noticing all the layers of paint taken to make it. Lamb nails the art with 'She's Come Undone'.This is one

When we think back on good books we have read we always think of the 'whole' experience and, let's face it, sometimes good books turn bad by the end. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to remember the good bits? So I thought I would start a series called 'Half Way Through Book Reviews". Basically, I write about the current book I am reading when I am roughly at it's half way point. In later blog

My current favourite song is "Blackberry Stone" by Laura Marling. I was lucky to see her live (again) last night and she is so inspiring. I think the lyrics to 'Blackberry Stone' are so insightful and capture how I feel about depression.

On a recent visit I demanded my friends take me out for Parma which gave me the fantastic idea of starting a Parmagiana tribute band called...wait for it....PARMA COUNTRY!!!!Our hits could include:Parma ChameleonCheese lovin' in your eyes all the wayIf I had Napoli sauce would you

Sometimes I like to think about the really "ordinary" things in life and how strangely bizarre they actually are.One such thing are Shops. Think about it for a while - we build very large buildings which we then divide into many compartments. In these compartments we put racks and shelves on which we place a variety of weird and wonderful objects. Let's forget for a while that food used to be

Exciting news today, my beloved Collingwood Magpies do not have to part with my equally beloved Mick Malthouse and we get to have buckers on the coaching staff as well! Today is a good day...a good day indeed...

Today I had THE BEST FLASHBACK EVER. Remember in the late 80s when you used to get sent to school with a popper (juice box for all you mexican idiots!) and if you were lucky enough to get Prima juice they had a sticker from "Masters of the Universe" on them? Well? Huh! Awesome hey.Anyway today I tried to find a picture of this from the internet and failed. I will give a prize to anyone who can

In the continuation of the whole idea that the world can be divided into "two kinds of people" I would like to bring up Peas.I am a fan of eating raw peas straight out of the pod - one of my favourite healthy treats, if not the favourite. Growing up in a middle class family suburb my father and I would frequently purchase peas on the pod and sit watching TV together eating them. Yesterday I went

Another find which really ticked all the boxes:http://tinyurl.com/3ddnv4I have long been opposed to the "The Customer is Always Right" adage - I think it started from a desire to encourage customer loyalty by treating people well. Then it somehow mutated into its current form in which people now naturally believe that having money to hand over gives them an entitlement to be an absolute asshole!

Isn't it amazing how sometimes you start thinking about something and then you seem to see it everywhere? Channel 7 in Australia has sunk to a new low (yes, even lower than Mel and Kochie) with its show "Look 10 years younger in 10 days". Basically they take fairly ordinary looking people, who look older than they are, completely destroy any shred of self confidence they may have and then set

So I have recently discovered the ultimate in internet time wasting - Stumbleupon! And whilst this amazing piece of internet technology has turned up gems time and time again nothing excited me so much as this:Television TunesMy first thought upon seeing the words "Television Tunes" was my friend Pandora, whose love of all things edgy television made me think how much she would love this site.

Part 1 of my report from my little Japanese adventure.THE TOILETS.Yes, toilets. I arrived in Osaka at my Capsule Hotel (more on that another time!) to be greeted by my first seat warmer & bideau (sp?). This trend continued but went on to dull in the wider context. So here in point form is a summary of toileting in Japan.1. Toilet shoes. In line with the whole 'taking off your shoes inside' thing,

And good riddance I say. So Two thousand and great turned out to be two thousand and shite, hopefully 2009 will be better!Things I am hoping for in 2009:1. Excitement - i need a change, reinvigoration. I am seriously considering savings my pennies to escape for a while - see if I can't go somewhere and recreate myself like my friend Pandora.2. Happiness - to leave my black dog behind.3. New Folk

Ok, time for a 2008 review. Not long to go now in the year, how is Ruby going with her 'resolutions'?From About.Com's Top 10 I choose to take up:1. Fit in Fitness - I went for a walk the other day. Was planning on doing it again soon.2. Enjoy Life More - hmmm, struggling. I did plant more plants though. Botany? Eh. Eh!3. Get out of Debt - still working towards this. But I am in bad debt this week

Jonno Siedler's review of 'Walking on a Dream' by Empire of the Sun. (Brag Magazine, 13/10/08). Yes Jonno, I agree. I have bolded the good bits. I will avoid my usual rant about the 'committee voted/sheep mentality of portions of the Australian music industry'.'I won't lie: I've been waiting for this day to come for a very, very long time.

So I have successfully been avoiding the flu all winter long here. Whilst my friends, family and work colleagues were dropping likes flies I was powering on. This is very strange as I am usually the first one to get sick, especially with the amount of time I spend around dirty teenagers!So I was wondering what my success at staying well should be attributed to, when it occurred to me that my run

To borrow the song title from the delightful Clare Bowditch, I have discovered that grief is, of course, one of the worst things that you can have to deal with, especially if you have no time to prepare for it. I almost want to say I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy, but frankly I would wish it on him. I have never in my life come into contact with someone who treats someone else so poorly.BUT

Before I start let's just clear something up from a previous post - as the 'fake singing girl' furore erupts worldwide after the Beijing 2008 Opening Ceremony was found to be none too authentic I think my previous post regarding the rhythm of chinese people needs to be revisted. Obviously they don't. They have to fake it, or if they do have rhythm, they don't possess good looks. Something like

So the mighty mighty Collingwood Magpies beat Geelong by 86 points this weekend. Geelong are widely tipped to win the premiership this year so that kinda made what has been an otherwise really shit weekend, a good one! One has to love Dale Thomas though, I am pretty sure I have mentioned that before but check this shizit out.I am not really sure what else I wanted to contribute to the world that

Ok so some friends and I were engaged in a rather humourous and occassionally heated discussion about which races have the most rhythm. Of course there were the african american and south american/latino folks right up there, but my friends claimed that the Asian folk should be right up there as well. Now I am willing to cop it on the chin that certain racial groups within the wider

Oh.My.God. What more can one say really about this?Words really are not enough so I won't try to encapsulate the joy that is Sufjan.This week has got me thinking though.
