I hate hats

I hate those little hats that girls wear that look stupid and fedoras that guys wear, also girls wearing fedoras more so. I only like big floppy hats. All other hats serve no purpose and have no individuality at all.

These are the kinds of hats girls wear that are ridiculous. That baby looks adorable, but I still hate them!

Dear people that wear those hats,
Stop it.

Sincerely,
Ellie Self
Wearer of big floppy hats and co.

Review of Lush Running to the Embassy

Lush: Foot scrub, moisturiser and conditioner. If you walk a lot, run, stand around in high heels, stand around on bare feet or just feel like a pedicure to scrub away your surplus skin, grab your minty Running to the Embassy bar. Get yourself a bowl of warm water and give each foot a soak, a soothing African Marigold, spearmint and peppermint massage and a good old scrub. Peace for feet.

I so agree. I love mint, all things minty are delicious (I'm so far loving the new Dirty line at Lush)

So here's some stuff about it:
>Smells awesome
>Has a good, not to hard scrub - kind of like a pumice stone, if it had cocoa butter in it and lathered
>It has a nice creamy lather that doesn't take away from the scrub
>Takes off heaps of dead skin

I love this, this is great

"We must always be vigilant, ready at a moment’s notice to descend into mass hysteria"

I like this quote, it's related to the recent somewhat crazy meltdown most Lushies had after the big cheese of Lush mentioned something on the forums about selling Lush to L'occitane. Then after seeing Living The Lush Life's (where the quote is from) post about it and all the freaked out people in the comments, he told us that they were not planning on selling Lush and that we should all calm down.

A collective sigh of relief among Lushies around the world.

I'm kinda pissed with the top fudge at Lush, right now. Why would he say that even somewhat if it wasn't remotely true? Was he trying to get a rise out of us? Make us think they were selling and stock up on our favourite products? What did you want?!

I still love Lush, but I'm worried now that they could sell at any moment and my entire regime would change.

If you want to read where the quote is from, it's here and also the above link.

There is a light in my lounge room on a timer

and it turns off at 9:55PM every night. Yet night after night I don't turn on the regular light or expect the room to suddenly go dark. Every night it makes me jump and takes me ages before I actually decide it's worth it to turn on the ceiling light Hey! I have a lot of shit to do, okay?

Instead I just turn on my keyboard back lighting and ignore the creepy feeling that is quickly sinking in around me.


I keep on getting emails from "Denise", it's my fault, I subscribed to her newsletter, except, every time I get the email, my inner monologue is like "ugh, another no last named person trying to sell me something" and then I realise who it is and realise it's not the man version "Dennis", it's the female version "Denise". Though she isn't really helping it when her newsletter is just a typed email with nothing interesting or different about it. Her emails really do seem like a scammer's emails.

That isn't related to anything, I just got an email from Denise and I thought I'd tell you about it.
Whatcha gonna do about it?
Nothin', that's right.

Anyway, it is 10:02PM in Australia time and I am getting sleepy, which means I need to take my flaxseed and iron tablet. I'm taking flaxseed for being tired all the time (Tim Ferris, interpreted by my brother, says it'll help). I used to take the pills, but apparently the liquid oily version works better, so I'm trying that and let me tell you, it's horrible. It's really, really frightfully gross and creepy.
What I just wrote was really boring...Oh well. I'm sure you'll get over it and get on with your life.

Now I'm gonna go drink (gross, drink) two tablespoons of flaxseed oil and try not to gag. See you guys in a few days.

I don't like to ride the bus for a few reasons...

When I get a text, my phone makes nearly the exact same noise as the next stop ding the bus makes. 9 out of 10 times, I reach for my phone a bit before every stop.

Getting up and walking to the front of the bus before my stop is scary and makes me stumble and feel like I'm about to face plant.

If a friend sits next to me, they always want to talk and I feel rude if I want to listen to music. I'm tired after school/anywhere else a bus can take me, I really just want to listen to my tunes.

Reading on the bus makes me feel sick, so my only options are the above two (it also makes me feel dorky).

Sometimes the guy I like catches my bus, but he has heaps of friends on the bus, so I'm just sitting there staring at him whilst listening to Band of Skulls tell me "It's impossible", feeling sorry for myself.

Buses rarely stop right outside your house and sometimes it rains.

Buses don't have their own wifi.

And that is why I don't like buses, though they are convenient and otherwise useful.

Ahhh! New episode of Doctor Who! Oh my God! I can't even comprehend what I just watched

(spoilers, probably (definitely))


AHHHHHHH! How could they end it like that?! Amy, my God, what just happened!

Damn you, Moffat! Why would you do that to me?!?

I'M SO CONFUSED!

People who have already watched the newest episode of Doctor Who (S06E01 for future people), what is going on?! Moffat, you crazy bastard. Did Amy just shoot a little girl/boy (still confused about the gender)? Did Moffat seriously just end it there?! I have a weird feeling that she didn't actually kill the child, but she shot River instead? I feel like River is going to end up being the astronaut (all I can imagine is her in the space suit in The Library) and she keeps being really suspicious about her future. Is it just me or was that episode really, really different to all the other episodes? (I get with the new producer and everything, it's going to be different, but I'm worried). Are those creatures "The silence"? It seemed that they were, but how can so many creatures be one thing?

Pretty sure that if The Doctor is actually supposed to die in the first episode, there will be Whovians all over the world that will revolt and possibly destroy Steven Moffat, and not just because it's The Doctor dying, because we were all so excited for a new season and if it turns out to be completely based around River, Amy and Rory, I will personally send a very angry letter to Steven Moffat and he will not be pleased with it at all.

Hey! People with fairly long series that are probably watched by a whole lot of nerds

I have a beef with you! Please stop releasing box sets of DVDs with like fifty million DVDs that only have two episodes on each disk. That's really annoying.

Yeah, I'm talking to you, Torchwood.
I love you, but you're ridiculous sometimes. I have to put my foot down, Torchwood. Can you put all your shows on like two disks or something? I'd manage if it was less than four, but seven. Seven disks? Why?

In other news, I love Ianto.

Dobby, NOOOOOOOO!

I just finished watching HP Deathy Hallows Part 1. Everyone told me "Dobby dies, Ellie. He dies!" but I didn't listen, 'There's no way Dobby can die', I told myself. But he does!

Dobby, NOOOOOOOO!

I'm not gonna lie, I cried.

Now I'm watching Doctor Who to cheer myself up.

My friend, Hannah, which I drew in Math

My messy living room table

I tried drawing my brother, but it just ended up looking like Spock. So this is Spock.

My Mum's glasses

I'm not really sure what this is. They're kind of like zombies, but they're an old married couple...and also zombies.

I would be much more inclined to watch football if there were sound effects

They could have a sword slash when they throw the ball to each other and an explosion when everyone dog piles on whoever has the ball (I have no idea how to play football).

I would be way more interested in it. Now, I'm just watching for when they grab each others crotches and any particularly good dog piles. Also getting excited when the crowd "goes wild".

What is going on?

I had the most ridiculously hilarious night.

Me and Pa went to Benihana for a little father-daughter bonding and boy did we have fun.

So first off, our chef, Jejean, was so humorous. He kept making innuendoes regarding chicken breasts and catching things in your mouth, he was quite the laugh.

Every time he added butter to something he would say "Jenny Craig!"

There was so much food, you guys, my god, so much food. We couldn't eat it all, it just wasn't physically possible. We got them to pack it up for my breakfast and my dog's dinner. I am very much so looking forward to breakfast.

Then! We go to get a cab outside and there are two free limos. So my Pa's like "Wanna get a limo?" and I'm like "OKAY!" And so we got the limo and my Pa got Diver man to stop at the bottle shop too.

Driver man turned on the radio to some rave music and then Paramore came on and he changed the station to rock music. Nice choice, Driver man, nice choice. I'm pretty sure there were mints as well.

As my friends, Maddy, would say, that's insane. (it's better if you can hear her voice)

Drawings!

Haaagnh!

That is the noise I make when there is a large spider in my bathroom and my hand needs to go close to it.

Why do spiders keep surrounding me?! I'd let you live in my bathroom if you weren't so creepy and motionless all the time! Geez, guys, how about you just get less furry and leggy? Then maybe we'll talk.


Another spider decided my bathroom was a nice place to live. It was probably the size of my palm and all brown and stripy and somewhat hairy. It was sitting next to my toilet...right when I really had to pee. You bastard spider, you. But, alas, I still would like to keep my rein as Spider Queen, so I didn't kill it. I feel like he didn't appreciate how uncomfortable catching him made me.

I got a takeout container and a magazine and approached him, I had my container poised ready to trap him, nope, container was too small and see-through, freaks me out too much.
The next attempt was an opaque red ice-cream container, that was better (I couldn't find anything bigger), but my hand was still dangerously close to the spider. It took me a good twenty minutes to get the courage to place the container over him, little did I know, that was the easy bit.
I, eventually, got my magazine under the container, I thought it was going pretty well, now just to lift the container and magazine at the same time off the side of the wall, like vertically. I never realised that the majority of spiders I had freed were conveniently on the floor or ceiling.
That probably took me another twenty minutes. Freaking magazines and their bending ways.

Anywho, the spider is outside (along with the container and magazine which I pretty much just threw into my garden - screw it, I'll get it when the sun comes up) and hopefully still has all it's legs and hopefully won't come and visit me again, unless it's to tell me that my spider army is ready and we can take over Australia now (running the whole world is too hard, I'd rather just have Australia - I like our accents).

So wish me luck on my future spider freeing adventures.

So what'd you do today?

Oh you know, I ate stuff...watched a lot of Doctor Who (Season 5 btdubs), watched The Office, watched Supernatural, realised that I've wasted my day doing absolutely nothing productive. Although we did get our new couch today, which we ordered freaking ages ago, but I didn't have anything to do with that...so, yep, did nothing today except caught up on some much needed tv watching and ate things.


I'm lovin' Supernatural, but I have no idea why I actually like it. It freaks me out and makes me more paranoid than usual, I don't understand how they've roped me into needing to watch it. Those clever bastards. When I'm watching it, if something gruesome could happen, I'm expecting it to cut off before it happens, but it doesn't! Every freaking time. And always with the things in people's eyes! Gah! That's my least favourite place to see someone be stabbed/burnt/butter knifed (different to stabbed). Why do they do this to me?!

Just thought I'd rant about how I love Supernatural, but it also scares me.

What did I learn between January and March 2011?

1. Japan is freaking awesome

2. I'm not as good at speaking Japanese as I thought I was, but I'm better at comprehending than I thought

3. Stuff isn't as cheap in Japan as people say

4. People care about appearance too much

5. All apple products are amazing

6. Lush makes me happy

7. Coconut contains saturated fats

8. My orthodontist is a perfectionist and this worries me

9. The cups in my cupboard that I thought were plastic are actually glass

10. My horse has been fed more than usual because he needs to gain weight and that's why he's so energetic lately

11. Year 11 is harder than year 10

12. All the bookstores near me are going bankrupt. iPad rules all.

13. Cutting stencils is really frustrating and hard

14. I love Supernatural, but I have no idea why

15. Sewing machines break easily

16. And I no longer know who my favourite Doctor is. I love David Tennant, I still do, but Matt Smith is awesome too.

Both are good

I like both these facial expressions, and it's always really awesome when he gets angry about humans doing stupid things.
