I have ebola

Ok more just a stomach bug, but seriously, Im dieing! I've spent two nights camped in the bathroom. And that one I'm not lieing about. I had a towel as a mattress, a robe as a blanket, a pillow, a glass of water next to me and a good book for those less nausious times.

A perfect day for a dentist appointment!

I jingle and I jangle with my dangle

Boy: (While watching 'Two and a Half Men') OMG You totally just saw his wang!
Me: What? Where?
Boy: Below his chest but above his knees. Around his boxers.

I created post its...

OK so on paper it sounds really good - I am 21 and run my own business as a make-up artist, and own a home with my partner of nearly 4 years. Good right? I sound kinda successful?

Out in the real world - I am nearly 22, I am living out in a shit hole of a small town. I just quit my job and am trying to set up a company which I've already closed down once in an industry I have not worked in in nearly 2 years. I still have a decent debt on my one house that I own with my partner of 3 years who I fight with constantly (that's a healthy thing, I like the fighting).

I have my high school reunion in exactly 1 week and I'm starting to get scared. I think I've gone over the kind of school I went to once before but to recap - Private all girls school, snobs, feminists and all round spoilt petty bitches. Of course there was exceptions to that but they were few and far between and had usually gone through so much shit keeping the friends they had that they didn't want any more.

I don't know why I am going back, quite a few of my friends aren't going for the sole reason of why go visit the people that we tried so hard to escape from for 5 years. All of the people that I want to catch up with I have on Facebook and the others? Well its like when you see some thing really gross, you really really don't want to go there but some masochistic part of you wants to look.

So I'm doing the best I can, I'm putting on my armor. Hopefully there will be less that can be picked on if I wrap my self up in something I know and try to hide the little holes of failure that creep through. I started today with my nails, this weekend will be the tan, next week will be the waxes, scrubs and hair.

Wish me luck!

Retribution

**UPDATE*** So as my last day progresses on these are a few of the things I have heard that have been said about me:
I
am bulimic, that is why I cant keep my food down.I faked going into hospital last month just to have a few days of work.
There is nothing wrong with my stomach I should just get over it and shut up
I am a slut
I do no work at all, the other girl has to do work for two people.

And there is more to come....

Any advice on how to return the favor this thing has persented me would be muchly appreciated!

Wednesday 9 April 2008

i suck

i do, majorly. I didn't post last week. I'm sooooorrrryyyyyyyy! I kept meaning to then this horrible black cloud would come over me and all would be bad and I would just want to curl up in a ball and go to sleep. mackay is not my friend. I'm hating it here. We're flying back enough that missing family isn't a big thing but just the people are backwards. See where as I know I haven't seen much in this world, they think Mackay IS the world. Its very depressing.

Plus my work has banned any non work related Internet so I have nothing to get me through the hell of work.

Blah blah blah Arly is sad, now shut up.

Ok.

So I didn't post last week but I will post three, yes you heard right, THREE times this week to make up for it!!!! One extra post free of cost just for you my readers!

We flew down to Brisbane on Saturday morning for the Millencolin concert. If you dont know who Millencolin are check them out this second, awesome Swedish semi-punk bank. Very fun.

So we're sitting on the plane its just starting to take off and "SHIT" Boy is all, "omg what??? Did the wing fall off???" and I'm all "omg.... i left the tickets on the fridge" Great big stress out. By the time we land in Brisbane we've calmed down with the resolution that I will go in to Ticketec, ask for the tickets to be reissued and if not then buy new ones. Well.... Concert is sold out. Great. Oh and the Tivoli doesn't reissue tickets. After bursting into tears in the ticketec office and begging the lady to double check she calls head office, stays on hold for half an hour and in the end yes they could reissue our tickets at the gate if we go an hour early. All good!! The concert rocked, I have many a bruise from the barrier! AND I got the set list WOOOOOO

I also spent the weekend dress shopping with Big Sis. She chose her wedding gown and omg I cried when I saw her in it. I cant even describe how stunning it is... I'm so proud of her :D

And I think we chose the bridesmaid gowns. We're going for black because the reception is black tie and she wanted something we can wear again. I think its going to be a corset which is white with black lace over it and a black satin belt with a floor length black satin skirt. And seen as its in the middle of winter we need some little fluffy thing to keep us warm. Not sure about that yet though.

Oh and last big news - I AM OFFICIALLY A TRADING MAKE-UP ARTIST AGAIN! See I trained with Napoleon back in 2004. Absolutely loved it. But in order to buy a house I needed a full time job (being 18 the banks don't have much faith in you) so I had to put the company on hold and go work behind a desk. After a while I gave up on my dream and deregistered my company. I cried a lot that day. But ever since when someone would ask me what I "was" I always said "I'm a make-up artist but I'm working in admin at the moment" The admin bit always made me feel kinda dirty and wrong.

So last post i wrote about how scared I was about doing the make-up for my sis' wedding but something has clicked in me. I AM a make-up artist. This is what I've always loved. Talking about it gives me a rush and changing someone from drab to stunning is just a feeling I cant explain. So yesterday I reregistered my ABN and went to Napoleon and restocked my bases. I'm going back later this week to buy some new colours and omg I cant explain the excitement.

Ohh and thats two more crossed off my list :D

Wednesday 26 March 2008

Woe-is-me

Work - I mentioned a few weeks ago to remind me to mention work next time but you suck and didnt remind me... well I remembered now didnt I!

I like to think I am a fairly good person. I am friendly, I'm trust worthy, I try to be happy and smily even when I'm not, I laugh when I dont even find jokes funny. But I seem to be surrounded by people that don't like me and I really dont know why... I go to work everyday and I feel like I am back in high school. I have never seen such petty bitchiness in anyone over 16. Like to the point where I will say good morning and not get any responce, sure claim that you didnt hear me once but every. single. day. ??? Righto!

I am stuck doing shit kicker work because the girl that is meant to be training me doesnt even look at me anymore. I have no idea why other then she is a screaming homophobe (we all know what thats hiding!)

Thats another thing, I have never met a bunch of people that are so bigoted! They call Aborigines "Blackies", they call gays "faggots" and any of you on here that know me well know that word makes me want to throw up I just dont know how people can be so closed minded. They see something that is different and want to ruin it.... I just find that pathetic.

Meanwhile at home my Big Sis is going wedding dress shopping and planning the wedding and I cant be there to help... My dad is crazy stressed (as always) and wish I was there to spend more time with him. PLUS I own a beautiful home which I have big plans for that I could be working on and it has a huge back yard where I could have my puppy....

On another note, I spent $97 on drugs today, and Im not talking the fun kind.... god that makes me sad... More stuff for my stomach to help with my reflux, oh I also have a urine tract infection - pissing out needles, now thats a WHOLE lotta fun!!! Ohh wait.... its really not...

You really wanted to know that didn't you?



Ohh but on the list side I have walked for 5 days in a row now! No where near my 1 month mark but its a start...

Wednesday 19 March 2008

The most rambling and incoherent post in the history of rambling and incoherent posts

Look at me, third week in a row! Woot! Yes I just Woot-ed for the second time ever, :s Well I’ve not made much progress on the list this week, things were a bit crazy between the flights and the hospital and the casino and the hangovers but lots of stuff happened so I can update on that :D.

I finally tried both the Durian and Butternut pumpkin last night so I can OFFICIALLY cross those off my list! I am not sure the Durian was completely ripe but it was rather smelly! I didn’t hate it so I am going to buy another one from the markets this weekend and eat it when it is ripe this time. The butternut pumpkin was a hit in my special salad. Boy still rates Sweet Potato and Pumpkin over it (in that order) but it has totally overtaken Pumpkin in my stakes. (on another note I am sure you are loving my vegetable rambles, it is what you come here for right? Not the naked pictures? Damn because I was going to add one of those but I wont now)

I neeeeearly bought proper cupcake making things, but then I found Homer Hudson ice-cream here for the first time and decided to buy a million tubs of those instead. Even though I’m not even a huge fan of ice-cream, and I bought flavours I didn’t even want thinking Boy wouldn’t get so angry at me if I bought them in the flavours he likes… it didn’t work L

I told my Big Sis and Potato Head that I have to do 40 sit ups and push ups within a year, so that’s kinda like doing them…. My sister laughed at me but that’s not the point!

I donated $5 to the RSPCA lady out the front of Woolworths the other day. It was a proper note not just spare change!! I was proud of that. Plus I have started buying dog food each time I go shopping again. No I am not crazy, I know I do not have a dog (yet… shhh) BUT what I do is each time I go to the shops I buy a can of dog food, I collect a whole bunch and take them to the RSPCA so they have more food for the puppies so they can keep them alive for longer! I do not really have money to give at the moment but I can give food J Now this is a great idea, and we collected HEAPS of food, but then we moved to Mackay and it is all still sitting in my sisters pantry, they do not have a dog either….

I bought a present for one of my favourite flickrs/bloggers, but seen as I think she is, at this moment, popping out a little Bex then I doubt she got the email saying “give me your address pregnant woman!” L So that is sitting in my bag at the moment mocking me and my childless state.

We bought birthday presents for both my Big Bro and Boys Mummy, this keeps us on track with presents for everyone!!

We received the tickets to the Millencolin concert in 2 weeks!!! YAY!!!

I am totally, as I write this calling about getting my boat licence! Wait ok voicemail…. Nope do not like leaving voicemail, I’ll call back later… bugger

I have totally been looking for a photography group in Mackay but I think they do not exist L If any body knows of/can find one pleeeease let me know!

Hmmm I went for a walk this morning so I might start my “walk everyday for a month” thing now… Let’s try it, I am sure I am going to fail a few times so better start trying early!!

Now the make-up company thing… This is getting scarier and scarier. You know how when you love something a lot you are really scared at failing. Like my friend Catty who had her first daughter over Christmas. She was really worried about being a bad mum or hurting Lil’K somehow. I know this is like a HUGE scale of what I am talking about but I just have this HUGE fear of failing at make-up. I have no friends in Mackay to practice on so all I can do is just jump back in and book a job, but then what if I get someone’s wedding or something and I fail. I turn them into Miz Bobbi Brickhouse the Manly Goddess?? What if I ruin some ladies wedding by making her look like a drag queen?!? That scares the crap out of me. It is even giving me nightmares. See I have some awesome news…

MY BIG SIS IS GETTING MARRIED!!! She got engaged to her partner of 11 years on Sunday night. (you are toally wondering what this has to do with my fear of make-up right? Did I confuse you with my jump? No I do not have ADD just keep reading and you’ll figure it out… that’s if you have lasted through the other ramblings…) This is sooo exciting. Even earlier that day she said to me “how are you going to be my make-up artist, photographer and Bridesmaid?” It was a funny little joke until she rang me up the next night and said “so will you be my bridesmaid” and I was all “OMG OFCOURSE!” And I am so excited and I just can’t even imagine how stunning she will look on the day (which is only 3 months away, no - not shot gun, they are moving to London so kinda shot gun but no babies involved). But what if I fuck it up? What if it is all exciting because I am going to be her make-up artist and I crack and ruin it? Will she always hate me? Will her extremely attractive, successful, wealthy friends laugh and mock and it will be on my head. I actually woke up screaming last night from a horrible nightmare. Do you want to know what happened? Ok it may sound stupid to most of you but it is horridly scary to me….

I was doing a trial make-up run for Big Sis wedding. (A trial run is exactly that, you get all of the bridal party together and you do their make-up as a test to see if they like it and how long it will take and what colours will be used on the day.) So I was doing this trial but for some reason there were two other artists their doing two other bridesmaids. Those artists were both younger, prettier and less experienced then me. And for some reason I just kept stuffing up. I didn’t have all of my equipment so I had to keep running around the house looking for it. I streaked concealer ALL over my models face. I forgot to put lashes on. I used a pink base on a yellow tone. And I hadn’t even finished my base when the other two artists were finished the whole face and packing up. They were really mean as well. And omg it is making me hyperventilate just thinking about it.

There is no way I would make Big Sis pay for a make-up artist for the big day when I can just do it but omg…. I have to deal with this fear….



Ohh HAPPY EASTER everyone! If I dont post before the weekend have a great time and eat lots of chocolate!

Wednesday 12 March 2008

I did it!

Look at me, posting for the second week in a row! Amazing right? I know you are amazed. I'm pretty darn excited as well. Because, not only do I get to subject my 2 readers to the excitingly dull week I have had BUT I get to cross another thing half off my 'To-Do' List!! Lets see what else I have gotten off it in just 1 week since I started it...

1. Try 10 new fruits/vegetables I’ve never tried before or thought I didn’t like Ok well I've not tried 10 vegetables but I have made a start. I bought a Durian and a Butternut Pumpkin, both of which I DO plan on eating at some stage... just not right now. But I will add them to the list once I've eaten them :)

14. Send a small gift or letter to some of my favorite flickrites/bloggers
The lovely Muirnait/Heather got a CD. So that is a start!

15. Buy birthday presents for everybody in both families
It is my Brothers birthday today (HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIG BRO!) And I've already bought his present. It is also Boy's mums birthday this weekend and although we haven't bought the present yet we have ideas and WILL be buying her one.

16. Post a real blog (not just from Flickr) on ChickenTherapy at least once a week Here is my start!!!

20. Attend a Concert
I booked tickets to see Millencolin next month. Sooooo excited about that but I wont add that to the list till after we go!

54. Go to the Saturday fruit markets
We went and other then getting in trouble by one of the stall owners for taking a snap of her fancy soaps (after asking if I could and being told it was fine!) it kinda rocked and I now plan on going EVERY Saturday!

57. Plant a herb garden
Done! YAY!

60. Set up Make-up Company and begin trading again
My hairdresser has asked me to do a hair competition she is doing in July so that is a start. I still have to set up the company, re-stock my kit and regain my confidence but hopefully that will come!

Ok So I think I have done fairly well for the first week. I just hope I keep it up from here!!! I am really proud of the list and thank you all for your great feed back on here, flickr and emails. Its been a great push to actually follow through (I hate saying follow through, ever since watching that Ali G movie :s)

Other then all of that I've not done much else this week. Boy and I spent the weekend at the Harbour which is lovely. Beautiful sunny days, good beer, good food. Nothing more I could ask for. Got a bit burnt at the beach on Saturday and instead of my horrid English skin peeling it has settled to a hot tan! Woo don't have to pay for it this time!!!

I also got my hair done, again, last night. I got my mullet cut off which is the last of my spiky hair gone! I cant believe its grown so much since September! But damn happy that it has!! Its now kind of a long bob with a large sweeping fringe with a pink foil. I will try and get a good photo of it later for Flickr.

We are heading back to Brisbane tomorrow, again! Very excited! I am going into hospital on Friday for more stuff to do with my stomach, most of you would remember but for anyone new you can read about it here. Yep its still going on. Nearly 2 years now. Hopefully this time I will have some proper answers.

Remind me next time to talk about work.... and the hell that it is.
:D

The list

Ok I keep meaning to do up a list of things I want to do for ages and I've done a couple but none more then 10 things. All pretty useless really. But I have been given inspiration from the fabulous Miss Zoot and her '101 things in 1001 days' list. Now we all know I am way to lazy and uncommitted to follow anything through for 1001 days, hell I couldnt even get through 365. So I have cut it down a bit just to get through things I want to do without having too much pressure. Now I am giving myself 1 year to do all of these things. I'm pretty sure I can handle that and I hope that I get them all done but if I dont its no big let down because its not a thing. I will be crossing them off and dating them as I go and Im sure I'll make a big song and dance about each one on here and Flickr so not much chance on missing out on any!

So here we go, let me know what you think or if Im missing anything!
