I am in a foul mood

I woke up today and decided that I was really PISSED OFF

I'm so misunderstood!

Why doesnt anyone get me...?? I want POWER, RECOGNITION and to boss ppl around! Not to be some charity-giving stay-at-home freelancing barbie with an empty-shell holdings company.

ARGH

*scream**rage**fury**


And im a WHAAAAAAALE, im a HIIIIIIIIPPO, im a WAAAAAALRUS


Oh and omg omg omg... I found that this morning that the "unnamed person" who is making my life hell is also a Gemini.

LOL

Xtine darl, looks like we're destined to have one @ home and one @ work.

I am so hungry and fatigued right now all I want is a Harry's Tiger pie w loads of worcestershire sauce and an Oreo-loaded McFlurry...





Oh YUUUUMMMMMMS!

Hug me Harry~~ Kiss me Ronald...


Im so sad. I tried to be ano for a week and it only lasted 1 day :(

And I was bloated that day so you couldn't even tell..

I think crankiness has become me today - plz remind me not to go2 a late gig ever again on a weeknight - although I must admit that my mates band Saving Grace were AWESOME - too high, but still pretty great. I made a kick-ass sign that said "I'm Grace. Save Me." LOL! It was HOT, ill have to put the pic up later...

I know I'm starting to ramble now so here's some aesthetic relief for all you illiterate suckers out there:



Karl Lagerfeld's bridal couture dress for Chanel. Niiiiice



Katie Holmes is looking so fine! Get me some of that Scientology potion yea



Choc-gasm! A Godiva demo room unveiled in Manhatten yesterday, set to be recreated for the Bryant Park Hotel. Godiva couches and Godiva walls? Pissy Valentines promo? Who gives a FF??

I'm sold...


Let's part with something a little lighter and less calorie (and carat) - laden...



muahahahaha....

Thats the way blokes!

**edit** I'm over it, sorry froggie - the love runs deeper than any momentary insanity

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood...

A friend of mine told me something the other day that really got me thinking.

She said “Cancers不能没有爱情” … Cancers cant live without love.

I wonder if that’s true, and if that is what my problem is…?

Everyone else in the world seems to function fine without it, but I just seem to build my entire life around this notion of finding blissful solace with a long-awaited soulmate – fawning over some half-baked conception that this time its gonna be the one…

BLAH

No wonder I keep stuffing up my life and career. Seriously, can I really afford to make another mistake? NO.

But according to my friend’s theory, I won’t be happy unless I am basking in an all-consuming, life-absorbing, completely indulgent, feverishly passionate and heart-wretchedly painful love affair.

I admit it. I’m a masochist. I like to think I know exactly what I want, and then when I get it I don’t believe in it.

Its terrible. I actually hate my life at the moment. I’m miserable and demotivated and utterly at a crossroads. Do I really need to travel halfway across the world to find my answer…?

And would that cure me? Will the drama stop…? And if it does, will complacency breed resentment and boredom, or will it transcend into a poised and solid permanence…?

No one knows.

I think I’m depressed.

I want to make this decision but I’m scared that it won’t be real. Frogs turn into princes, but only when they’re with the right princess…


Even Robert Frost does not have all the answers~~~

A hangover, 2 beautiful men, too much food, a new hairdo and.... a BIG sigh of relief

So I spent the long weekend getting crunked...

























hungover...














stuffing my face...
















































and watching Denzel and Johnny...




... or at least, trying to....




Ok, I dozed off for 5 mins before Sweeney Todd started, and for about a split second during American Gangster. But can I just say - both were brilliant and I loved it. An acquired taste I must admit - but only for an educated palate like mine :p


To be honest, I dont really know what happened on Fri night but I dont think I'm gonna let it happen again. The next day I had a revelation... the only reason I act like this is because I think I CAN - the reason I never did it with 报表 is cos I knew I would never get away with it... hence my theory:


I need to be controlled. Otherwise I just run around like a bloody barking mad lunatic...


Then the epiphany came to me.


I dont wanna lose control. 为什么终要别人管我呢?能管的了我的人都是圣经病... 管不了我的人会很伤心...


Maybe its time to grow up. 我是不是真的该自己学会照顾自己~~要不然怎么能去照顾别人呢...?


叹..


我苦啊


Anyway, after a whole night of dreams that played out like a stop frame horror flick, I woke up this morning utterly disoriented and v v anxious abt froggie's test...


What a dramatic bastard - actually having the gall to tell me he was stressed out. He passed with flying colours even when he was late for the damn thing. Goooooood work.


Heart attack aside, I decided that I was a big fat pig and needed to run on the treadmill for 2 hours. As I was about to leave the house, I took a quick look in the mirror and decided ... fuck it. I'm gonna go do my hair instead.


5 hours later....





















































That was for your benefit Sammi, hope that's enough shots for u...


I am SO FUCKING RELIEVED that this stoooopid test is finally over. No more convoluted and stressed-out phone convos. Praise the Lord. 4 more days of hell left to go....


p.s. if someone can tell me why the page is looking so funny that would be very helpful. Thx.

Yes, and I'm well aware that noone cares about the last 2 categories besides I.

My tips are Johnny Depp for best actor (cos I love him and he is my other pretend husband - but it will probably be Daniel Day or Clooney the Looney); Phillip Seymour Hoffman; Cate Blanchett; and I want it to be "Atonement" but it will probably end up being "Michael Clayton" - might I just add, that the only one ive seen from the list is Atonement so LOL - - -

BIG SIGH

Am really feeling the sharp pangs of not having a real-life by-my-side boyfriend today. I had a flat tyre on the way to a big pitch and I didnt even know - just thought "hmmm, I wonder why the car sounds so funny" b4 I realised that everyone was flashing their high beams @ me and yelling 'You've got a flat tyre bitch!"

Anyway, I had no one to call - so I phoned my Managing Director - hahahaha. DEFINATELY not pretend-husband material but useful during emergencies...

It turned out that there were 10+ holes in my tyre - I must've been driving it flat for ages...

Cars are so expensive, I'm gonna get rid of mine. It is officially now a piece of SHIT. How appropriate that I also put that word in a browny diarrheoa colour.

Happy Australia Day - as if anyone cares, just another excuse to get smashed, eat prawns, and play cricket - wtf? Ok, I got that one from an ad on the radio.

OMG - which takes me to my next revelation. I have become a compulsive liar since working in PR. I realised the other day just how much we LIE in this industry.

"I have an exclusive scoop for you" (that I havent already sold to 5 other publications);

"I can get you direct quotes from the CEO" (that I didnt make up myself);

"I've got first hand info/pictures" (that were not taken 2 years ago and retouched to look like they're new);

"I have worked on other clients in your industry before" (that were not imaginary);

"You're shoes look hot" (I saw them last week in K-Mart);

"I know from experience that this works" (cos I heard my MD say that last time);

"We are fully transparent and accountable for everything we say and do" (that we report back to you)...

etc etc

Shock horror? Gutted to think that the only things you read in the news that are true are reports on crime and natural disasters? Guess what, those stories aint entirely true either. Cos you can bet-your-uncle's-smelly-feet that whatever Constable or Government Dept that comments on the event has been briefed by guys like us first.

I am so gonna get fired for this.

PRIA is probably reading this and planning my public execution as I type...

Screw it. Stone me mofos.

I'm over it.

OMG - STOP PRESS!!

BLACK TUESDAY....



has officially turned into DEAD WEDNESDAY....




the journos are having a field day I tell you...


MEANWHILE - it’s the day of exoneration for me. Transient moments and ephemeral revelations are well and truly put to bed. I bid thee farewell DRAMA, I salute you PAIN, I part with you SORROW!
Valediction and good riddance to fleeting nostalgia and conflict. And a grand accolade to my loyal white stallion :(

I love because I am. I am because I love.

结婚不是做给别人看的 - 东西是永远都要不完的

我要看人,不是看情况

最主要的是... 我要对自己付责任

Mary J Blige would be so proud…

What's happening to the stock market...?


******
~ edit @ 5pm~ The Market is now at a A$90b freefall - down 7% and the worst since WWII, and the CommSec website crashed LOL. Yes yes. I know what that means. I'm very sorry investors and traders, dearie me... And I'm really happy for you, financial journos - milk it mofos, u love it...

******

A very busy and stressed out man told me last night that the market is unravelling.

3 months ago I would have said: “And… this affects me how…?”

Now I say .... “Omg - its the Apocalypse”

Needless to say, I got to work before 8am this morning and proceeded to dash for the AFR, only to be blinded by the headline “Market rout slices 6pc off super returns”

WTF

I don’t give a shit about retirement woes – tell me how this affects ME.

Thank god for Eli Greenblat – my Market Wrap man always explains everything with such precision and clarity: “Shares head for bear territory”

OK. I get it. Bull is good, bear is bad.

I then (very loudly) decided to yell halfway across the room to my Managing Director “Tim, whats happening to the stock market?” to which he replied “My friends who work in the markets are all liquidating their shares. Now stop thinking about your bf and get back to work.”

LOL.

Ok – liquidate. I don’t really know what that means but I think that’s bad too.

Its a bloodbath of bears! The market is melting! (oh gracie, what great use of alliteration, you eloquent woman)

Anyway, moving on…

Check out Amy Winehouse on her way to her hubby’s court case:


Again – repeat after me. Trash. Gutter. Sewerage. UGH.

Some news for the week:


1. Angela has a new toy. And the clairvoyant was spot on... He’s a white version of Phil, completely infatuated with her, and he wears a bucket hat. LOL. Good job I say Ange – bring’em out the morning after to show all your friends, that’s the way! 3 words. PUSSY. WHIPPED. HARD.


2. I have decided to make up with Jack. Not only because he is depressed and wants to have all-you-can-eat-bungalow8-mussels with me (lol!), but more because he is TOTALLY splurging on himself atm – helllloooo?? 2 new suits in 1 week? Does the cash have no shelter? Should we find it a home? Bring on the lobster dude, wtf is mussels…?


3. I'm absolutely gutted - I was in a stupid meeting when we got Bon Jovi tickets for tonight, so I missed out! And they're sitting in a suite with free food and drinks~!! O...M...G.... That's so not fair! I LOVE JON BON JOVI! He was my pretend husband all through primary school and part of high school. Redic. Now I have to settle for Victoria and Kerry blabbing on abt it in the morning. I am so not coming into work tomorrow...

4. Emily didn’t get fired from her job. She thought she did so she went into the shop and bought like a million dresses so she could get the 50% discount – only to find out this week that she is in fact, still on the roster. Muahahaha…


5. I am on a Dairy Farmers account atm, rebranding Lite White Milk… riveting stuff. Please, someone tell me why a journo would want to write a story about new packaging on milk that tastes and smells exactly the same, has the same no. of calories, and comes out of the same animal. Moooooooo I say. MOO. **edit – 2hrs later** oops I totally take that back – this project just got interesting – Pnau is in the TVC so now its become SEXY– woot woot! Photo shoots, Sydney Confidential and Big Day Out tickets!!


6. OMG – Atonement was outstanding. I looooooved it. Hilarious for having a MA+ rating yet no sex scenes, violence, or drugs … just a “wet sweet cunt” … hahahaha! If you haven’t seen it, its not what you think! If you have – how utterly bizarre yet painfully profound and brilliant was it…?


I’ll leave you with Keira in THAT dress...



Green... just like froggie....
