Story of my life

‘The many gap years’

In the years since I have finished high school I have (probably) grown in many ways. However my ambitions seem to have reverted to that of my four year old self. You remember when you felt you could do anything and the thought excited you? Now knowing I could do anything make my hands sweat. I think I have been through as many perspective career choices as I have hair changes (30) all of which seem like my dream come true. Till I see some young twenty something, develop a girl crush and decided that actually whatever they do has been my big dream for years and I just didn’t know it.
I have done many different courses before I fell the social pressure and I ‘decided’ to go to university. What I would be studying there has been irrelevant for so long now and has changed as much as when I wanted to be a cat one day and a horse the next. My goal,
achieving independence in the eyes of the government. Being from a middle class family is the pits as far as the Centrelink hierarchy. The poor get rich, the rich get richer and everyone in between is left to fend for themselves.
Working my way though various as the office bitch for two years has got me nearly on my way, mixed with the pity of friends around me doing uni and telling me to keep fighting the good fight. A word of advice, if you know someone that’s in my situation DON’T tell them stories of all the people you know that don’t deserve youth allowance and get it. There is no way I would have been able to get even this far with out changing jobs, the only people the new centerlink independence rules will benefit are the people that are already laughing at them behind there backs.
I have been in fact working so hard toward my goal of joining the ranks of those ‘Valuable’ members of society that I missed the cut off for applications and have to pay an extra 100 bucks. Story of my life.

"I've had the most amazing day"

Im a bit worn out today, back at work. However i do like being the queen of my own tiny little health food shop kingdom.

im here more then anyone else so i know everything thats going down. Its a bit to much responsibilty like now when things are all turning pear shapped and I want to run with my tail between my legs to a nice easy telemarkting job.

yesterday was one of my only days off and I packed it compeletly full of action.
Marlee and I wandered around all the best parts of newcastle and had fresh juices from a questionable store.
That afternoon I made home made bread, pizza and garlic bread and ran errands with melanie and fell asleep to the soothing sounds of harry potter 1 ahhh, what a day.

Movie to take notice of, "Beyond Biba"
She and her partner "Fitz" were part of what made the 60s so special.
Its a story of her entire life and how her stores changed the face of fashion in th 60s. the movie also shows a lot of her young life as well.

Can not wait to see it! see the tralier below.
