I Survived....

My skydive was just amazing...I was nervous and excited well before I arrived but less so as I went through the training and got on the plane. My tandem partner/instructer/guy who has my life in his hands Stu was totally awesome and funny and made me feel very comfortable what a awesome job that would be. It was about a 40 minute flight up to 14,000 feet I didn't have any time to back out lol! not that I would...by the time everyone else had jumped we were the last out and from the point of are you ready, to jumping was like 30 seconds...I don't know how to describe the feeling kind of like freedom, not what I imagined flying to be like, I got the fly through clouds they feel amazing, the free fall was about 60 seconds my sister thinks I went a tad longer than everyone else, I also got to steer the parachute which was super cool... I was on such a high all day I would do it again in a heart beat, if I was made of money I would do it every weekend...it's love! I wish I had that high right now as last night was Halloween in Oz and I had a party to go to got all zombied up and rocked out til the wee hours of the morning....I've had no luck trying to get a little nap in today now I have to work til 10pm tonight....

Kudos to OzHead




Soooo when my sister moved out she took her GHD straightener with her....at first i was like damn you! (sisterly love) and so i did some research and came across some really awesome reviews for OzHead straighteners so i had a sneak peek at their website and there are some serious pros there
  • Only $154.50 nearly $100 cheaper than a GHD
  •  Awesome reviews at product review
  • 3 year warranty
  •  AUSTRALIAN owned and operated
  •  FREE mini straightener...which does curls 1000 times better than a GHD straightener and they hold without product
  • 4 heat settings
  • 14 day money back guarantee
  • The cord doesn't get all tangled up
  • My hair feels a lot healthier after using this compared to the GHD
So all in all I'm super satisfied the only think I would change is think pink written on it but hey it pretty much lives in my bathroom draw so not such a issue. It also comes in a felt box with a carry pouch.

Yoga


I've just completed my first yoga class after a year of not practising....it was wonderful, I feel super relaxed and stress free. I can't wait to also get my yoga body back. Yoga may seem like a simple thing to do that isn't hard at all but it is quite deceiving it's quite a work out and the body ends up looking as hard and flexible as the positions, plus the mind is given one and a half hours of quiet.

Yoga = Soul Satisfaction!

Soul Discovery



I've begun on a path to find my truly satisfies my soul....it is beginning to be a wonderful journey from reading awe inspiring books to listening to music that I have discovered through random means, buying crazy weird clothes and not caring what people think, finding cute little musical instruments that make my mind still playing with them...trying to find a way of quieting my social anxiety without going down the medication road, feeling at ease with who i am and what i am doing, stopping to smell to roses and enjoying the simple pleasures i choose to seek...life is good!

Facebook deletion = Soul Satisfaction



I feel so much better since deleting my facebook there is some sort of freedom in getting rid of it, there  is a peace of not having to go in a site to see what people you never see are doing, to see friends and listen to what they have been doing rather than already knowing what they have been up to, it opens back up communication in its finest form speech. It is allowing me to listen to myself and what I want to be doing, I have so much spare time now...it's quite funny that a "social" networking site can be so unsociable...

un·so·cia·ble/ˌənˈsōSHəbəl/Adjective

1. Not enjoying or making an effort to behave sociably in the company of others.
2. Not conducive to friendly social relations.
I really feel for the people not that much younger than myself who have known nothing but social networking and internet everywhere..it will be interesting to see what kind of generation comes out of this technology overload....I was explaining all of this to my boss and he said "you must be getting old, you sound like us now" 

I do hope that someone reads this and decides that they too have much better things to do with their time and ultimately choose to also delete their facebook and discover what the "real" world has to offer....it is a amazing place

Imag-ine

Isn't it sad that people now define themselves more by facebook than music...to me that's insanity
 do not let yourself stop yourself from what you yearn to do...
 don't be afraid to be yourself
 I do love balloons especially popping them :)

Change is happening



This last week has been full of change it all started on Friday when my mother was offered either a redundancy package or 6 hours a week work which was a bit of a no brainer she is taking the redundancy which means she has to hand in her company car which means I am now looking for a cheap little car considering that I am driving mums other car as she will need it when she finds a new job. Yesterday my sister finally secured a rental property which has been a long time coming as she has never been able to find something at the right price that she likes....man I will miss her she is alot of fun, we have one of those sibiling relationships that will never be able to replace we understand each other (which for me is miraculous as alot of people don't REALLY understand me) she's only moving to a town down the road so I will still see her. Yesterday I started reading Eat, Pray, Love, there is something about the idea of this book that speaks to me just packing up and finding yourself, this is something I now struggle with daily, who am I and what do I want? I have probably said this before but I  have deleted my facebook I think it is something that holds me back I spend so much damn time on it that I could be doing other things like reading, finding new bands of interest, doing make-up, making prosthetics, finishing all of the projects I have begun...so that is what I am going to do I am going to finish all of the things I have started and I am going to tick off all the things on my list that I want completed by the end of 2010. Interestingly I did read a article in the paper yesterday which stated that young people from 16-25 now find that facebook defines them more that music which used to be the top dog....What is wrong with our society that we are so lazy that we can sit down for hours and play stupid facebook games, stalk people we don't even know anymore and just waste time.
We should be doing amazing things with out time, things that are good for the body and the soul....

words

words by themselves don't really mean much at all but when strung together can be inspiring, powerful, heart breaking and beautiful

here are some words that have been strung together that satisfy my soul....

i will follow you into the dark...


in all this chaos we found safety...


No lies, just love...


i want the drama, of it all. i want the fights, the yelling & screaming, the make-ups and falling asleep in each others arms. i want you through the good times and the bad...


and you're still out of my reach
and you're still all of the things i want in my life
how could i ask you to leave?
and we were just kids in love
the summer was full of mistakes we wouldn't learn from...


the first kiss stole the breath from my lips
why did the last one tear us apart?...

you make me feel like a person...

if they don't chase you when you walk away....keep walking...


you were made just for me...


we sleep so we can dream...


reality is for people who lack imagination...


i'm sure i must belong somewhere...


i wish you could see yourself through my eyes...


who are you?


sometimes i think, sometimes i don't


i want to be his happiest hello and his hardest goodbye...


they are just words but why are they so scary?...
