What's this? Two posts in one week‽

I have a lovely list of things i need to do, i love lists! Do you love lists? I think they're amazing, means i don't have to keep everything up in my crowded and currently highly stressed brain!
That and i love the sense of accomplishment when i get to cross something off :D


I'm still having trouble deciding on a hair colour! Last time this happened, i decided on purple and black, then got to the hairdressers and thought "no, actually that isn't what i want" and went auburn instead. Then i thought 'that was a great spur of the moment decision! lets make another!' and got her to cut most of my hair off. That was NOT a great spur of the moment decision. But it's alright, it's growing back! Slowly.


I still need to sort out my room. I have to buy two bookcases and get rid of my desk somehow. I also need to sew a birthday present by Friday night/Saturday morning. Then i need to iron my costume and organise exactly which bits and pieces of my makeup collection to take with me to the pre-horror party Doctor Who marathon that we're having.
Yes, i know, my friends are the greatest!


For now, i am buggered. Jacqui and i went to Flinders Uni today and grabbed as much free stuff as we could find. Then we bussed it to Adelaide and UniSA, but most of the free stuff was gone by then! I now have lovely sunburn on my chest and shoulders, sore feet and a headache. Not to mention a partially swollen lip due to stress. FFFFUUUUUUU. 
I dislike being stressed. So i am going to sleep before half 10. Which is like 4 minutes away... okay, well i am actually in bed, so i just need to post this and roll over! right‽
Oh, Craig Ferguson is on....
Scratch that, i'm going to sleep after the Late Late Show :D


Alright, i'll leave it at that. Fairly boring update. I need to get back into the swing of things with this blogging stuff :/
<3

Challenge!

RIGHT.
I don't blog enough. You want to know how i can tell? I reveal a lot, and i mean A LOT of information about myself on facebook and twitter and dailybooth. Recently i've thought about it and realised it's because i don't really talk about myself, i'm partial to writing it down. And i kind of feel like i have to write it all down so that it's not fluttering around in my brain like a moth around your ceiling light at 12am when all you're trying to do is write a blog post but it wont go away!! irrelevant.
but somehow relevant.
So, i am going to use this blog as a form of diary, i did actually put in my resolutions that i have to keepa  diary this year, so this will have to do!
Therefore; updates are necessary!
My room is changing. Change is one of those things that i'm never sure of... This change is good, but for the meantime it's really not. All of my things are in boxes so i can't get to them, Uni starts next week and i don't think my room will be finished by then, which is a bugger.
But i've constructed a chest of drawers! Hurray!
Other majorly important things that my future self would want to remember are things such as; my zombie makeup for Alex Ogden's 19th birthday party, the fact that i am in love with my ginger hair, gardening makes me happy, as does reading, i currently don't know about doing Nursing... oh and ihaveanalmostboyfriend.

Basically, i have re-discovered my love of painting and art in general, and i'm sitting here weighing up the pros and cons of doing art vs. nursing... nursing= a lifetime job with good pay and the ability to travel, whereas i'd be happier doing art, broke for most of my life and i wouldn't be able to afford to go anywhere... BUT STILL.

There is a boy in my life! Alright, there already were boys in my life, but this one is a potential 'significant other'. i know, i know, tori you have had several of these, last time you told us to tell you not to go there if i ever became smitten with another one... well i don't care. i'm not going to give up this time! i'll see it through, try harder, let my barriers down... hopefully.

He makes me really happy, i wont bore or sicken you all with details, but he really does.

Doctor Who starts again soon!! SERIOUSLY CANNOT WAIT. HURRY UP MOFFAT I WANT MY EPISODES SO I CAN WATCH THEM A MILLION TIMES EACH.

I'm going to try to read more this year, do more University readings and spend less time online.
I'm going to try, in a few weeks or so, going without the internet entirely for a week apart from updating my blog here, and doing University-related research, readings and emails.
I know a  few people will freak out that i've died, but i couldn't care less.

Long blog post is long.
I'll stop now and write another tomorrow i think :)

Goals

You know how it goes, five minutes past midnight on January 1st and suddenly you're going to be a better person, eat healthy, run twice a day, be nicer to the people around you, donate money to a charity three times this year and never be seen again with that creep you knew last year.
Two days later you're eating slightly healthier than before, you've put $50 away to start saving to donate to the Royal Society of the Blind, and you've managed to avoid poor Fred, who doesn't understand why you haven't been returning his calls.
Two months down the track and you're back to exactly the same routine, the $50 was spent a month ago towards a new kettle after you threw your old one to the ground in the middle of a family argument, and Fred's asleep on your couch.
To try and fight this, i thought about why people never really finish their resolutions, and i realised most of the time, it's because they forget about them. Considering New Years resolutions are usually made when drunk, this isn't surprising.
This year, i undertook a challenge called 101 in 365.
It's an online to-do list, one hundred and one items long, and you have 365 days to finish all the things on your list.
It's a really great idea, and they send you email updates every now and then to let you know how many days and items you still have left.
They monitor your progress, and if you have an item on your list that's going to be completed in sections, you can even put in the percentage of the item you have completed.

IF YOU'VE READ THIS FAR
i love you.
No, i'm not joking, send me a relationship request on facebook :)

so if you're reading this, can you leave a comment? that would mean a lot to me, really
anyway, i have an essay due in 5.5 hours, and i'm getting nowhere with it. it needs to be 2,500 words long, and i've done a grand total of 400 words. i can get it finished, the question is am i motivated enough? THE ANSWER IS NO.
i have a headache, i feel sick and tired and i just want to lie in the sun and go to sleep. then come inside and knit a scarf. then bake a cake. then eat the cake while knitting in the sun. and then sleep some more....
i just don't want to have to do thiiissss aaahhhh
this happens every single time. this essay is 50% of my grade. i don't want to fail it. but i have no idea what i am doing anymore. grrr.

so if you're still reading this, you've been following my blog

and that's the only reason you've found this!
unless you're a REALLY good stalker o__o
you know what i don't get? why i'm so happy around everyone! even people i can't stand, i laugh ALL THE TIME. i keep getting weird looks because i often go into fits of laughter and can't stop. life is just so much fun! however, i dislike that some people question my happiness. i mean really.
i barely go three minutes without smiling, it's kind of great :)
i also like to run places. not many people do. are they lazy? or normal? am i just on speed or something? i don't even know.
i'm gonna start vlogging again soon, give me three weeks!
loveyou
<3 tori xxo
