Oh boy, I can't describe how in love I am with these head adornments. I ♡ Agent Lover;




Today I am carpooling back to Dungog with my friend Manneh and my mum. It should be fun. I have to go to Dungog to practice a song tomorrow with my old high school music teacher as I'm singing at a wedding next weekend (Across The Universe).

Here's some lovely mail I've received of late;


^ A lovely collaged envelope from Linsey.


^ Envelopes from a swap, they all fit inside one another. Inside the last envelope were these gorgeous swap tags the sender made for me;




^ This beautiful postcard from Erika.

& Here's an envelope I decorated for GirlZootZilla, close your eyes if you're reading!;


I sent her back twenty questions. Here are a couple I put in;



I'd love a pack of these postcards/notecards to send to my dearests, from here;


Here's some images I've saved in my Tumblr recently;

Hope you can read my handwriting. One of my favourite things to discover about people is what their handwriting looks like, closely followed by what their bedroom looks like, what their parents look like and their music taste. The remainder of the list is here.

& here's a photo I took the other day I thought was funny;

Morrissey: My favourite Brit got taken to hospital last night during a show, so my music Monday goes to him. I hope he's feeling better. After I texted her to say "A world without Morrissey isn't a world worth living in", my friend Paige, who is also a Morrissey enthusiast, replied that she is pretty certain that Morrissey can't die. Thankfully, Morrissey isn't dead. I love that the show's patrons started booing when he stopped singing, as they assumed it was another of his many cancellations.


^ I think this was a B side? One of my favourite obscure Moz songs.


^ I've been listening to a lot of Jeff Buckley lately and I know it may be blasphemy to say so, but I think I might like this version just a teeny tiny bit more than the original. I might retract that comment later.

Q: What’s the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning?
A: Wish I hadn’t.

- Morrissey.

Song of the day: Shadows by Yo La Tengo

Dear anonymous vandals,
I have no idea why you turned two taps on in the yard of the empty house in our street and left them running for several hours. We walked past and heard the noise and went home and got torches and turned them off. Don't do it again, please. Wasted water makes me angrier than broken windows or spray paint!

Sincerely annoyed,
Bianca.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear C,
Thank you for making me hundreds of cups of hot chocolate, being so lovely and enduring my abuse :)

Love always,
Bianca.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Spotlight,
Tomorrow I am going to hand in my resume to you. Please employ me. I love all of the things you sell and it would be an pleasure to work at you!

Yours hopefully,
Bianca.

Dear yelling Newcastle lady Jets fans,
Thank you for chanting for the entire game and making us feel better about our 5-1 loss. Your chants were very amusing and seemed to effectively enrage the 'white trash' Central Coast supporters.

Yours loud and obnoxiously,
Bianca.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Why?,
You are my all-time favourite band. You are playing in Sydney in two months. I am so poor I can't even afford the $40 to come see you, so could you please let me in for free or come to my house to play instead?

Yours hopefully,
Bianca

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Anxiety,
Please make me stop biting my nails until they hurt and feeling like I want to cry for no reason whenever I have to leave my house.

Yours anxiously,
Bianca.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear ingredients in our cupboard,
Please whip yourselves together into a delicious meal.

Yours hungrily,
Bianca.

I think I'll do this again sometime :) Taken from the lovely miss Carrie, who found it here;



Some things I found interesting today:

^ A water sculpture in China made from 10, 000 toilets. One of those internet finds that makes you say 'WOW' out loud (link).


^ As you might already know, Halloween isn't celebrated in Australia, and as a result I am totally fascinated by it. If we did, I would totally try to carve a pumpkin like one of these! (link) Have you ever carved a pumpkin? Is it difficult? :D

These wonderful blogs:

Today C and I went to our friend Michelle's baby's name-giving celebration (his name is Van) and her elder son, Zahn's, 15th birthday party later on, and in between we went to see the lady Jets play. I hadn't really dressed up or put on make-up in some time, so I decided to today and it was kind of fun, ha. Here is what I looked like today (Please forgive awful quality Macbook shots, ha);


^ This is me and part of the wall above my desk. If you send me mail, this is where it ends up!


Please ignore messy house and awkward expressions/poses. Of course, with an actual camera (I'm dreaming of a Canon EOS), I imagine I could take and post one perfect shot and not several mediocre ones!

C and I have been talking a lot lately about our 'happy fat'. I guess I just feel at an in-between size. I love curves, I just like them in the right places :P Of course, the two options are; do something about it (more physical activity!) or decide to feel good about myself as is. Both seem equally labour intensive! In the meantime I'm might just stick 'Operation Beautiful' themed notes in places for other people to find and feel good about themselves :D
