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.

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,
