Hello! I am back from my very short holiday.
While I was away I....
slept (yay!)
ate chocolate, lots of chocolate
made fashion collages
watched Julie & Julia (which was very up-beat and delightful) and Raging Bull (not so up-beat with lots of crazy wife beating, but the cinematography was amazing and Cathy Moriarty is stunning. I think she is my new girl crush) and this doco about photographer Anton Corbijn who directed Control (which I really must see!)
continued reading The Diamond As Big As The Ritz and this super awesome edition of Frankie magazine
Frankie had this section called 'The Year That's Been' or something like that where a bunch of variously famous people like Miff Warhurst, Sally Seltman and Karen Walker listed 20 things they did in 2010. It inspired me to try it myself. So here goes but I will indulge and do 21 for obvious reasons...
In 2010 I....
1. Learnt to love myself 2. One hearts with my baking skills (specifically vegan chocolate cup cakes, renamed "vegasims") 3. Was heart broken 4. Found true friendship 5. Wrote 10 or more? poems 6. Almost finished uni 7. Started taking yogalaties classes 8. Participated in the joys of email correspondence 9. Was inspired by
The Runaways to embrace my inner 'girl power' 10. Turned 21, 11. Learnt to cook spontaneously with whatever is at hand 12. Got close to nature in Tasmania (slept under the stars and went skinny dipping) 13. Went to the Astor and saw

Freaks and
The Red Shoes 14. Read
The Bell Jar 15. Saw the play
Much Ado About Nothing two times and laughed my head off with C at a man doing air punches in the 2nd row 16. Sheepishly took part in a 'Free Hugs' stand at Flinders St Station 17. Had beer giggles and wore red, blue and white on 'French (Anna Karina) Day' with Char 18. Watched Char graduate 19. Learnt to make vegan cheesecake 20. Visited
Edgar's Mission21. Started a new blog
When you put it like that it seems incredible the amount achieved in a year. You should try it. It's a great way to reminisce and it makes you feel special.
In the meantime, my cat is not yet back from his undesired holiday at the cattery...you never realise how comforting the company of a pet is until they are not there.
I miss you kitten!
