If those walls could talk.....

I got to my familie's house for dinner last night only to see that my sister had been moving into my bedroom all day.
I have been moved out of home since October last year, but it's still really hard to see my room being taken over by her. We built that house from scratch and my room was built especially for me.

I walked into Nat's 'new room' and looked over at my boy and I think he could tell I was fighting back tears. It's one thing to move out but another to have your room taken over by your sister. My walk-in wardrobe, my wall - which is now covered - completely in Jesse MaCartney posters, Britney Spears song words and the odd Girlfriend cover is offically not mine. I spose I can't be upset. I have the coolest apartment with my boy and living out of home has alot of perks. Maybe I should just be happy for my sis. I've had a lot of fun times in my room and now she can have too! It is the biggest room (out of the 3 children's). I spent the prime of my teen years in there, crying in my wardrobe when dad wouldn't let me go out, speaking ot friends for hours on end (those walls have heard alot of interesting info) and now she can too. So sis if you're reading this, please look after it and I won't mention the fact that one of my dear friends gave her brother $800 to move into his room.

The Cutest Things I have ever seen. EVER!

OK I know I've already posted today but I just happened to be trying to kill time and surfing the net when I stumbled across this cute website which (ironically) is www.cuteoverload.com, I just had to share!
These are the cutest pics I've seen since Liz's 'Friday Afternoon Love' emails. For those of you who don't know what Friday Afternoon Love is, it's when Liz (the gorge Art Director at GF) sent round cutesy emails to excite us for the weekend! YAY! So I have posted some pics for you to enjoy in memory of Friday Afternoon Love. Let's call it 'Thursday, just because it's cute'.

Genie in a bottle, Pregnant to the Candyman?

I have just read that Christina Aguilera is pregnant! A source told Star: "Jordan (her hubby) was blown away! He told her the baby was the greatest present ever! Christina's always been maternal. There's no doubt Christina will make a fabulous mother."

I am over the moon for her. Not just for because she'll be a mother BUT I am happy because she will be fat and no longer be that hot songstress I pine to look like (just have a look at the pic if you don't believe me). She's no Jessica Simpson, but it is not humanly possible to look that hot in a two-piece flight attendant uniform (she wears in her Candyman videoclip).
The news hasn't been confirmed from her rep yet.

In other news Erica Baxter and James packer have wed and had two ceremonies, yes that's TWO! Yawn! OK she's gorgeous, OK he's a scientologist, OK he's a millionaire and OK they've got too much money but really, two ceremonies? Whatev! All I know is I'm having a massive bunch of cupcakes for my wedding cake; they'll have all different designs on them and will melt in your mouth. Not that I'm getting married anytime soon....and going off onto random tangents in my writing.....

Ooh it's also my last day at vega today! Hip, hip, hooray!

Enjoy the sunshine,

New York, New York.....

As I sit here at my desk and this gross weather goes on outside I wonder what it would be like to be out of temperamental Sydney and in busy, bright lights New York. I've always wanted to go there and to live there would be a dream of mine come true. But if I did move over there what about my friends, my boyfriend, my family? I don't think I could do it without at least one of them. I've imagined what it would be like to work at a magazine over there. Teen Vogue's glossy pages spring to my mind. Everyday would be like a scene out of 'The Devil Wears Prada' trying to impress work colleagues with my fashion choices, trying to work my way up to my dream. I don;t know why my career means to much to me. I've always been really ambitious and always thought I would put my career before anything.
Someone once told me it shouldn't matter what everyone else wants, it's about what you want in your life. I'm at a time in my life where I want to be somewhere without having to take backwards steps to get there. I'm the kinda gal who needs to be praised upon for the things that she does, reassured that what I do is really meaning something and not nothing. I know I will get there and i am still young but I can't help thinking that life is getting away from me as well. If it's one thing I've realised lately is that life is too short. Too short for being angry, too short for getting upset and too short for doing things that other people want you to do.
What do you think?

A night to remember...

Haha as I write this I am still laughing to myself! What a funny night, filled with laughter, drinking and some really bad singing!

Milli and Mandy's mum's house is where the night begun with photos, nibblies and excitement. Next the bus. Some say this was the highlight of their night. Maybe it was Simo getting up and doing his Johnny Farnham solo, maybe it was the relief of the toilet stops (on the side of the road, near the art museum!). Or maybe it was the whole 35 of us dressed up as our fave rockstars from the 80's. Whatever it was there was not a face without a smile and a hand without a drink.

Karaoke World was pretty interesting... $22 for a bottle of champers (hey, once you're drunk you'll pay anything. A little out of control with the handling of the mikes. But I got my Spice girls solo in with the girls which is all I wanted to achieve in the karaoke stakes. Table dancing seemed to be the only way to get noticed if you didn't have a mike in your hand. Not that I did that or anything.

After a well and truly good boogie. And I mean good, a couple of us wandered into a few other rooms to join in on other people's fun, another thing that I was not involved in.

After losing a few of the crew and a couple of really abusive phone calls (sorry baby) we headed onto The Retro. Before you all ask what the heck is The Retro? I will explain...Cool club on Sussex St, well cool, coz it's got like 5 levels and has different eras of music playing throughout, ie. 70's, 80's, not cool coz we almost had to pay $20 to get in (thanks Mandy). After we'd boogied til we could not boogie anymore (well actually I could have kept going coz I was on a super-high after Spice Girls 'Who do you think you are' came on) it was time to leave.
So I walked down the 4 flights of stairs with Kel and waited out the front. Waited and waited until a couple of our friends walked out crying (Poor Milli). All of a sudden 2 cop cars pulled up and two of our mates walked out with bleeding noses and black eyes. Hhhmm had I missed something? Yes apparently there was a bit of a ker-fuffle with the bouncers (SOO not cool!) and some of the crew ended up at our local hospital getting stitches.
All in all it was an amazing night and the Twinnies had a ball which is the main thing! Yay!
Pics above to see how hot we all looked! See if you can spot Tina Turner...!

One to get you smiling before the weekend

I'm not usually one to pass on lame emails or chain letters and I HATE whenever I see that someone has forwarded a forward to my inbox.
BUT I just had to share this one with you. Convict by Paris Hilton (pictured left), no it's really not a new fragrance by Paris, but a mere stab at the heiress.
Poor Paris, you know I love her and really feel for her as she's now back in jail and all(bless poor Paris), but this will really make you smile, if not laugh out loud with crazy, evil laughter!
Enjoy and have a fab-tabulous weekend! I know I will!
