My Technologic Crutch

Why are people so uncomfortable to sit, wait or travel without technology with them. Don't get me wrong I am so guilty of doing it too. I always have my phone/iPod there for those 5 minute breaks where I will possibly be alone and there is no way I would ever not want it. Why is this the case? What is it about society that makes us (me) feel that unless I am constantly communicating that my social life is not enough? I wish this had some kind of inspirational point where I could say that I'm giving up my technologic crutch, but I really don't think I am anywhere near strong enough at this point. If anyone can answer my questions please help me out!

Thruples man

Do you know what a 'thruple' is? It's a three-way couple and I'm in one. My friends, who are dating, told that I am in one with them. Do you wanna know why? They said it's because I am so forever-alone. They say I'm in this thing with them cause they feel so sorry for me. They feel bad because I'm not in this plastic mould of a perfect relationship like they are. Well I am sorry that my lack of relationship saddens you, but why does it? If I am perfectly content and happy with my relationship status why should I have to become like you? Feeling sorry for me wont change anything anyway, so just stop please!
Anyway rant over.
Toodles!

Girls just wanna have fun & slightly experiment with their style?

My grandfather loves me more than the world. He thinks that I am still that precious six year old that will look up to him with my big blue eyes and ask to sit on his lap and watch the broncos game (that NRL in case you’re wondering). Now, of course, my allegiance is still with the broncos and I still love my grandfather but I do have a bone to pick with him. He saw my fairly recently (last 4 months) pierced nose and looked at me like I just committed a murder! Come on grandpa I have to have some fun with my life. Before you start talking to me about how ‘he was raised to think like that’ or ‘tradition blah blah etc’, I know all of that. I’m fine with the fact that it’s just what he thinks, but cut me some slack and let me vent, ok? He should still be proud of me! I’m not an addict or in jail or worse. I just have a tiny little piece of silver in my nose. This is as hectic as my rebellion has gotten (that he knows about anyway) so grandpa I love you, but let me be 19 please!

Yolo Dope Swag?

So a few months ago I attended this speaking competition and the winner spoke about hipsters. Okay ok hate me for talking about hipsters, but this speaker really took a new aspect to hipsters. Rather than these instagram-obsessed, “trend-setting” people we normally associate with hipsters, it was suggested to think of hipsters as forward thinkers within society. Giving examples like Thomas Edison and Nelson Mandela I couldn’t help but laugh when I imagined such strong figures dressed like hipsters. More seriously, these ‘hipsters’ changed society because they thought about change and the future. They were the first of their kind to step out of the norm and think wildly to achieve something brilliant. These are the kind of hipsters that I would love to see more of, not those choc-chai double-foamed latte or whatever those lame hipsters drink to feel cool.

Toodles (or is that something a hipster would say :/...)

Long term leave

Oh my goodness. I have been a very bad blogger haven't I? So it's been around a month since my last post and I feel downright awful. I can't even use the excuse of no internet cause I had plenty... I was working lots if that is a better excuse. Really I'm just sorry and won't let it happen again. Please scold me if it does! Anyway in that time I didn't do much, except for go to SPLENDOUR!! Now if you don't know what that is 'Splendour in the Grass' is an Australian music festival that is just three days of absolute musical genius! I had so much fun and there are stories to come from that.
Just thought I would give a quick update before getting into the real gritty stuff. Ha!

Oops I Broke The Challenge!

I went to the second state of origin game. Go Queenslander! It was a glorious game and not to mention exciting. Boy, was it exciting! So exciting that I accidently forgot about my ‘Dry June/July’. Oops. I am very sorry to tell you all this, but I was contemplating just lying to you. I thought that would be wrong, so here is my guilt-ridden confession. I, Tiarna, broke my 30-day no-drinking challenge in less than one day. Since that mild relapse I have not touched another drop of alcohol so please be somewhat proud. Also, my convincing mother who said that it was un-Queenslander not to have a beer at the footy roped me into it. Ok so that is not a legitimate excuse, but I vow to stick it out to the end from now on.

Cry Me A River

Did a coffee workshop today and made a beautiful flower art on my latte. I was so proud until I saw the pro's do it and then I realised I pretty much sucked (so that's what the title is about)...
But tonight my roomie and I are relaxing with a homemade shepards pie and a disney marathon with friends. After a long productive day I am really keen to just relax and watch some Hercules (among some others).
Better check the oven,

Holy crap of oopsness

Ok so the title obviously isn't made of real words, but man I got so lazy last week!
So exams have almost been over for a week and I stupidly broke this blog habit from that moment. But I'm backkkk.
Today is the start of my '30 day no drinking challenge'. I decided a few days ago that over uni holidays I would kick my filthy habit of drinking (just kidding guys I *always* drink in moderation!). Anyway it's not for any particular reason I just have recently got a little bored from drinking when I go out and thought what the hell I might as well! (did you see that rhyme I should be a singer :P)
Yes, I will keep an update on this dry month cause I have a few challenges like one of my best friends 20th and other big events. However, I am determined to succeed. Especially cause now it is official.
Also, my determination will lead to more frequent blogging (hopefully)! So lucky you guys :P
Anyway I have an early morning,

Those moments

Do you ever have those moments where you don't know what to do? Of course everyone does, but what about those really serious moments where it could change everything you know? Sorry about the cryptic text. I just can't imagine this happening and also not happening. What a perfect opportunity to have fun or a terrible way to create havoc...

Leaving my cryptic nonsense for another time, 

Toodles

Done done done

I am so happy that exams are finally over! Today I even went shopping for some new makeup and now I feel all pretty and happy :) now I'm finally relaxing by watching some of my guilty pleasure tv. Wah I'm just so proud that I think I did so well (speaking for the majority of them anyway) and I just really want to be super smart all the time and be forever getting good grades.

Oh god I can't commit

Oops. How many days have I forgotten to write? Granted I had my two most painful exams which are now over (thanks goodness!!). So I'm now 3 down with 1 to go an holy crap I can't wait. Oh also can I possibly suggest to never make a cake at 1am because you'll melt the icing out of excitement because you won't let the cake cool and all your friends will laugh at your failure. Not fun! 

Anyway gotta get back to it,

Oopsie

So yesterday was so hectic with my first exam happening and then my complete exhaustion and finally watching 'Pretty Little Liars'! Oh my goodness gracious I love that show. I don't know when I got so obsessed, but now I can't imagine not watching it and freaking myself out by watching it at night :/ Actually I think I might just have an obsession with television shows... I only used to watch 'Skins' and 'Misfits' and cute, quirky shows like that, but then something happened and I just started watching tv more regularly and having lots of series to follow (most are irregular followings for when I'm bored, I don't watch them all every single week or anything :/). Still the number is quite large, so I'll give you a quick run down of the shows I like to clear my mind with! Skins (obviously), Pretty Little Liars, Community, Game of Thrones, How I Met Your Mother, True Blood, Awkward, Teen Wolf, New Girl, Sherlock and I've already finished Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Misfits is over :( Holy moly that is a lot of tv! I guess it's ok because I don't watch them all constantly? Maybe that makes it better or I really have a problem... Anyway, while I didn't want to study for the dreaded economics *dun duuuu* (imagine dramatic noises there please) I thought I would share how I kill my brain through tv, but now I just feel kind of lame with how obsessed I am. Like oh my don't even get me started on all of my ships for those shows, I would die!
I better go try and get HDs on this exam (haha the sarcasm is dripping off that sentence).

Public interactions...

Oh god tomorrow is my first exam and I don't even know how to feel anymore! My oh my I just have kind of lost hope, direction and all my cares... But I think I'm more worried that this will be my first time out of the house in about a week :/ I don't even know if I know how to function properly in society anymore. No, maybe it's not actually that bad, but its been a while since I've had human contact that isn't just talking to myself :P
Quick hello and now goodbye as I gotta cram.

Hey did you hear that joke about... oh god I'm talking to myself again

So another day of boring study is almost over, but today was different. I really managed to get into the zone and kick some serious study butt! Through all the typing and business processes I'm pretty sure I managed to kill my roommates ears though :/ The second I put my earphones in I am in another world just singing along to whatever is playing. She was pretty scared when I started busting out to 'California Uber Alles' and the likes of that. In the midst of all of my wailing I realised that I was actually going stir-crazy, when I started having two-way conversations with myself. I wish I was kidding, but I recall telling myself jokes and laughing at them... Just another day of my SWOTVAC insanity! (notice the bold on insanity because I am actually worried about dwindling social skills)
And now I'm back to the books.

How can I make myself study better?

So yes, like I said yesterday, I am a uni student and right now it is swotvac. I have so much to do, but for some reason I have this crazy notion that it all doesn't matter. WRONG. But I can't stop not studying properly. Instead I am listening to Triple J's hottest 100 from the past 20 years!! Don't get me wrong it's so worth it, but it just means that study is not consistently happening! Though I would much rather continue belting out to the likes of Zombie or Stinkfist right now I do actually have some concerns about my lack of consistent study! Yeah I know blogging right now doesn't help my efforts in trying to be a good student, but I feel like I really needed to just take a pause and give out some word vomit before I get back into it. So before I get judged for procrasti-blogging just be aware that it's just a little break, not heavy procrastination :P
Anyway let's all get back to the hottest100 and all have our individual dance raves!

My first post!

So I have always believed that my thoughts are as interesting as everyone elses, so I finally decided to write a blog with these 'great' thoughts.
I am a uni student struggling with her existence and future (like everyone else it seems) but I know that I like boring people with my ideas and opinions so I decided to study journalism! Along with a few other majors, journalism is really shaping out to be something I enjoy, so I will see where it takes me.
I'm not making any promises with this blog, but I am hoping for it to become a part of life.
Anyway that's enough procrastinating for today!
