A Sleepy Girl



a sleepy girl once told the world
she'd had enough she couldn't fight
a sad little girl once loved the world
goodnight goodnight sleep well tonight

she'd held the world this crying girl
her eyes now gray her soul decayed
a sleepy girl once told the world
goodnight goodnight sleep well tonight

* Spending all day watching Bathurst (the biggest V8 Supercar race of the year) with my Dad. All Holden podium, oh yeah!

* Being back home after a few days away.

* I love social networking sites. Even though they are so often filled with time wasting crap, I love having that instant, or almost instant contact with friends, especially those who live far away.

* Showers after a workout, especially on a hot day!

* Getting packages of beads in the mail! Fun!

* Foot cream.

* Making the coolest pair of earrings for my shop, loving them so much I had to make a pair for myself. They have skulls&crossbones. Nuff said.

That's all the purple goodness for this week, my friends! XOXO

October Goals/Things To Do...

I've decided that I need to start making Monthly Goals lists again. I still have my daily to do lists - I don't think I'd ever get anything done without them! - but I need to think/plan a bit further ahead. There is so much that I want to be doing - stuff I said I'd do back in January, that I haven't gotten around to doing yet. Part of the problem is that I am an amazing procrastinator. I'm very good at planning and equally good at putting things off 'until tomorrow'. And I feel so silly because these are things that I really want to be doing. But they require effort and patience and I've gotten in the habit of pushing them aside into the 'too-hard-basket'. I'm too good at making excuses, at finding reasons not to do things. I'm a creature of habit. I want to change, but I don't want to go through the actual process of changing, which kind of defeats the purpose.

But I don't want to waste my time or my life anymore. I don't want to keep putting things off or I'll regret it more than I already do. So,

October Goals!
* haircut and colour.
* work out 4-5 times a week.
* do vocal exercises everyday.
* draw more.
* write more.
* start playing guitar again; practise 3-4 times a week.
* get as close to 200 Belladonna Beads sales as I can.
* get sewing machine fixed.
* sew a few tote bags for Purple Pixie Stuff.
* get 5 sales from Purple Pixie Stuff.
* catch up with a friend (in person) once a week.

Wish me luck!

Love...

It's being hugged tightly, so tight it's as if you are literally being held together.

It's not having to talk or explain because you are already understood.

It's being kissed on the forehead, of having your hair gently pushed off your face.

It's holding hands as you fall asleep.

It's lack of inhibition, of complete and pure trust.

It's feeling safe.

It's knowing you belong in each other's lives - even if it's not in the way you intially wanted.

It's knowing you are not alone.

It's being able to talk and laugh together for hours about nothing.

It's making ridiculous plans for the future - knowing they'll never happen, but being able to visualise them anyway.

It's wanting nothing more than for them to be happy.

It's seeing someone after so many years and feeling like it was just yesterday that you last saw them.

It's being accepted, just as you are.

It's unconditional.

It's letting them go.

It's everything.

It's everywhere.
