White Unicorns

Well, just watched The Hunger Games last week and was thoroughly impressed!
I'd read the books and was already a fan but wow,
the indie feel of the movie was perfect for the book.
Honestly, I'd rather that people are thinking critically about the future than discussing whether or not
Bella should really be having feral vampire babies.
I mean, humans used to have gladiators battle to the death, 
who's to say that something this horrific would never happen again?


All the cast members have had to go on a crazy tour.
I will do a post featuring all the dresses that Jennifer Lawrence (Katniss) and Elizabeth Banks (Effie) wore!
Look forward to it munchkins!

And I feel like such a pedo because Josh Hutcherson is really cute as Peeta...
I may have been perving a little bit. 
Maybe.
But he's only 19. And I'm 20. 
I feel like a cougar D;

Time for an impromptu poem!
Oh Peeta don't die in the Hunger Games,
unfortunate that yours was chosen out of all those names
and please don't be burned by Cinna's flames,
Just make me some love-bread.
EX-OH-EX-OH



Okay, enough of this Hunger Games crap.
As Miranda says on her titular sitcom, 
"on with the show!" 


The red cardigan is from Eva's Attic, 
the designer clothing charity shop where I volunteered during summer.
It's on Cuba St in Wellington, go take a look!
You might find some unloved, preloved jems in there!



A good friend from high school moved back to America for college.
I miss her so much!
I remember making funny videos at her house for my 16th birthday (costume!) party.

She often sends me packages of American candy and other amusing things (eg. a cherry pitter hahaha!) 
And once she sent me a ring.
The bobbly orange one up top.
It's got a Halloween theme to it. Very cute!
It makes funny noises when I jingle my hand.
Thanks buddy! :)




I have so many ridiculous blooper ones from this 'shoot
I'll save them for another post! ;)

Have a nice weekend!

Bejeweled


New Year's up North!

Hello Hello!

Uni started 2 weeks ago, and I'm in the process of handing in my first assignment of the year.
Anyone used R for stats before?
It's supposedly one of the easiest, most useful programmes for statisticians
yet I can't get through any of the questions on the assignment without asking a tutor for help.
I think this really proves my stupidity (-_-)"
Oh Zeus, why didn't you bless me with amay-za-zing computer skills?

I have a new tutor for one of my Psych papers who is (reasonably) cute.
I think what made me conclude this was his stubbly beard and beige pants.
I really don't get what my "type" is nowadays.
It seems I like the weirdest, dorkiest people around.
My poor, poor future children 
(they're gonna have a couple of screwed-up dorky parents...).

I should probably mention that I'm not going to put up many close-up photos of the people
I went on holiday with because this blog isn't private.
(And they're so vain that they want to approve every photo of themselves before I upload them
Haha)





This is me being a crane.
Thank god the arm of the chair was there or else I may have flashed a little bit of something.

For a few nights we drank baileys, laughed and made cranes until early morning.
I distinctly remember that we nearly stayed up until sunrise after New Year's
making cranes and talking about nothing and everything.
My friends probably wouldn't have wanted me to disclose this information
("woohoo origami cranes SO HARD-CORE BRO")
but I don't care!
I had oodles and noodles of fun :D

(By the end of the holiday the approximate final count of cranes was 834...
we plan to send them off to Hiroshima)




Above are my friend and I taking advantage of the beautiful pink sunset.
I did an outfit post in Jan of the peach dress I wore.
I'm so afraid to wear it to Uni - I fear that it might rip or something. 
Right, I love it too much to wear it.
Isn't that nuts?


Above is the Coromandel beach.
So big and long and beautiful!
("that's what she said" 
bahahahahaha
sorry, couldn't help it)

Below are photos of us walking to one of the top 100 beaches in the world 
(I forgot the name of it... woops)





Us on the last day of the holiday, 
hanging out on the grass outside the batch.



And to finish off, some unflattering blooper photos of me.
I hope my constipated poses make you giggle, you filthy minx!
