i'd like to dedicate this post to a little lady who thinks she should be on my blog more than once.

the fun theory

these are so funny! i wish perth was this cool!

holy-days

the holidays were so bitchin'.

26

i haven't written for ever. i have been trying to over come my complete addiction to the computer. what is happening to this ever growing world of technology? i always like to imagine what people will invent next. like did people see the invention of phones coming or did they just suddenly appear and rock peoples world? these are the questions I'm faced with from day to day, like; what if people were dogs and dogs were people? stupid things like that. i always think about questions that don't make any fucking sense what so ever and make myself really think about them when i should be thinking about something more important like, lets say, maths? i find myself writing answers to these questions down rather than writing maths questions or notes. just the other day i found myself unexpectedly witting about a problem i am dealing with at the moment down in my English book. i was writing what i was thinking and this i think is a trait. i blame this trait on a little something called school. i mean, if i wasn't at school i wouldn't be thinking these stupid questions because i wouldn't be civilized enough (even smart if you like) to be thinking these kinds of things! the moral of the story is; don't go to school kids. because it just fucks with your head. i mean how many times will you need to know how to find the vertex of a parabola in day to day life? i can almost guarantee you wont ever look at a curve in the road and try to work out the vertex. its rediu-lars! to top it all off 90% of my teachers are tits so i dont even bother trying to suck up to them because they hate me anyway.

to end on a good note, i leave for france in 26 days! i dont know what to expect...

blue afternoons

so, im sure by the title of this post you can already tell what im going to say. im feeling so very blue. i want a hug from the whole world, excluding those which don't. you make me hurt, so much

so very happy

im so happy to be back at school! its so nice being will all my friends again. plus i was starting to suffer from holly-loss syndrome. being sick actually made me realize that i don't mind school all that much and so i ended that week with a very nice ending involving crying and drinking too much. it was fun all the same, not that i remember that much to be honest.

push it

i have had this in my head all day! x

maak en herstel on etsy

my sister, annabel, hand makes all these beautiful children's tee's and baby wraps and has just recently opened an etsy shop! now i know most of the people reading this probably dont have children. but im sure you all know plenty! they are such wonderful ideas for presents and you can even get bundles which is a baby wrap and a matching tee! genius!
so anyway, check out her stuff on maakenherstel.etsy.com

ill

i was lying in my bed just minding my own business, coughing and watching the wackness, when my dear mother waltzed in the door with a rather large dosage of cough medicine, my latest batch of antibiotics, two vitamin C tablets and a nurofen. she informed me that her share prices were no longer negative eight thousand dollars and that she had made positive seven hundred and fifty seven dollars and thirty five cents. not that i ever understand what the hell she is going on about but i do take my tablets wisely, "sigh" i press my head back into my pillow. i am ill, and i hate it. firstly because being ill is not at all fun when you have been at home for four days listening to my mother sanding the back wall and the radio, which is on station 720. my mother is a 'do it yourself' woman. even if she doesnt do it right, she still does it. if you think that enough torture. try going into a doctors surgery and having a rather depressed doctor go just a little to close to your boob with a stethoscope. my bed is cold and its wind outside. i would, personally, rather be in a warm classroom swapping notes on how to make after shave and watching hurried children rush to "be the first one to the toasty machine'. not that you would be surprised that i had once won that medal.
i have come to respect school after spending 94 hours at home. i haven't seen holly or tess for almost a week and spending all this time on my own is starting to make me go really crazy. why just last night i wrote a story about a girl who feeds baggets to maggots and has tea parties with black cats and mushrooms.
this was all rather inspired by the addams family, which; might i add, i have watched exactly seven and a half times in two days. i almost know all the lines. hence my myspace name.
anyway, i better go and draw up some maggots and dead cats. x

new york city life

what a dazzling collection of photography. this just so happens to be a very good friend of mines fathers photography from their time in America earlier on in this year. when riley told me about all of this i had no doubt it was going to brilliant, but i didn't expect it to be this brilliant! so anyway, visit the website and spend every last dollar on these photos because they are bloody well worth it! what i would give to have a house and a half full of these dreamy shots..

youtubing madness

i havent blogged for ages, well too long for my liking.

so here, this is how i spend my mondays. quite plain really.
school, work, dinner, youtubeing. i know, makes me sounds like a total nerd but there are some marvelous ones out there!
check out this one for starters;



im convincingly in complete love with Twiggy, she is just a darling. this youtube proves it!

90s time climb

i would, if i could, go back to childhood!
holly sent me this video which was like going back in time to my dads house when i was but a young child. the 90s infact. good years, wonderful, happy years!
remember these videos? i sure do! i jumped for joy at the sound of their synthetic yet original theme tunes.

the selby

honesty addictive. i spend hours and hours on this site just looking at peoples awesome houses. its fun and takes up unwanted time. i mean isn't that what you want in a website anyway? im not going on the computer to have fun, im doing homework! kidding.
this website inspires me to clean and make everything Selby-worthy! im sure it will make you too!

cabin fever

oh yes, thats right. i have actually become obsessed. i love it so much there, its like my little harmony. which is eventually disturbed by someone else visiting. free tea and lollies and whatnot. oh its so nice and cozy in there. it should probably be called cave fever. although i think cabin does have a nicer ring to it don't you think? so, its a part of pigeonhole in Bon Marche Arcade in the city. there is stuff you can buy and don't forget pigeonhole is right next door just incase you run out of something important, not including food, maybe some cakie-pops? mmmmmmm!


love. x

fine, design, line, spine, wine, swine?

not exactly swine, but its contagious! i kind of like it. although some of the interiors are kind of gross.

http://www.designspongeonline.com
just discovered this! its pretty marvelous! check it out kids! x

hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle.

So today was a day of most days. school, school and more school. which always makes my week such a marvelous one. although i could tell you that i would definitely rather be out somewhere other than school. although i had to model my wearable art which was pretty funny. have to do it again tomorrow! but in fount of little children so i wont be as nervous. anyway, sewing... back to sewing. im getting so lazy with my blogs! i need someone to come and tell me to keep writing on it. else it will never get written on. although i do love it.
on the weekend we did go to ECU open day though. it was pretty good except for the lame nova music which was playing. plus we didn't really look at much. i can't really go there anyway because they don't have an architecture cause but i did like the campus!



ahah i love these funny iphone fake Polaroids. i really don't see the point seeing i have a Polaroid anyway but still! they are like Polaroids on the go!



tessy.



much love, love yasmin. x

everything is horrible and horrible is everything

king of pop

Born august 29, died June 25th. pauvre Michael. he lived a life of almost pure harmony. i mean i would kill to live in neverland! it looks like the most blissful place in the world. and i, being a fan of rides and pools, would definitely benefit from such an adventure.


i think i would probably cry if i went there. although Michael Jackson not being there may be a bit benefit. although i love him with most of my heart, i have my doubts. the rubber story i just watched on tele sat in my head for a good few hours.
whatever, he is the king of pop and will remain the king of pop forever and ever.

cute suit

these have to be the cutest baby clothes!(second from maak en herstel of cause!) i want a baby so i can dress it up it pretty little sailor outfits! i can't stop "nawwww"ing!!!

Prager

So today I was madly rushing about in the rain to get to the local newsagent to get the new Frankie. It was cold, and wet but I loved it. I love the happiness when i can finally lay my hands on a new issue of Frankie or Dazed magazine, it makes me shiver with joy. especially when its winter because i can curl up into a ball under my duvet with a flash torch and a cup of hot tea. Although the duvet does end up becoming quite damp from the mist. its such a lovely way to spend the afternoon don't you think? so anyway, across the lovely glossy pages i stumbled across some of Alex Pragers photography, i have to admit it does have a certain buzz about it don't you think?
I really like it! the wigs and make-up look amazing and the angles and shots are wonderful!

too cool for school

right so ever since i went on work experience to Donaldson + Warn i have been having second thoughts about my career. i mean, im really starting to think about changing my mind path down another alleyway. as if i am ever ever going to get high enough scores to be an architect. after all, im failing maths about 66% or some shit. the annoying part is that when i study i don't even do so well! so i have totally given up on that.
anyway, this makes my heart leap with joy. if there was ever a cool-school-of-the-world medal this would be the go school. fucking awesome.
i think Jenny(yes thats right my best friend Jenny, who told me that she would "chop my head off" for calling her Jenny, god that made me love her even more) should be having second thoughts of where the school is going. there is some tough competition out there. this has left me pondering...

Happy snappy

i guarantee you this song will make you nine hundred and ninety nine percent happier. its like a creepy form of hypnotism! it kind of reminds me of a pedophile... is that a good thing? i especially like the fact that it has absolutely no meaning whatsoever.

it makes me want to jump around!
Courtesy of papa Tony, Tess and Morgan... how they found it i have no idea but its stuck in my head!
just like sim said; if only life was a musical!
have a happy day! love Yasmin.
happy...happy...happy...happy...happy

lomo joy

its surprising how happy a parcel can make you.
just getting a letter makes me jump with unbearable joy! especially when the package contains something which you will love and care about for quite a long while.
my new lomo. brings me so much joy. my father thought i had caught swine flu as i was jumping around like mad.
lomos are so fantastic. well, its hard to explain but they are. they have the most wonderful colour and they come in all shapes, sizes and colors. they have every type of film imaginable and are just completely and utterly amazingly great.
after feeling rather sad about not having my polaroids anymore i invested in a actionsampler!
over and out, love love from yasmin.
p.s. i wish you all the best for fighting away swine flu.
i say everyone go to bed for a week. just like the bears do in winter. although i think i would get rather restless!
love, x

just yesterday

well, infact it wasn't... remember when i had long hair? well i certainly do.
look at all of these extremely old pictures of me with long luscious hair. and my hair is blonde-er might i add! some of which are so embarrassing it hurts; as yasmin, im more than happy to share with you some embarrassing photos.

i remember this so clearly! this was on Katie's boat during year 8. gosh! i remember once me and katie went to see the faries live. we had tiaras and everything. and we had these tops which said best friends forever on them and they had little plastic pockets where you put a picture in it. genious! i have never ever seen anything quite like them...

if i haden't capured these moments through a lens when i did. i would never have remembered them. imagine if we didn't have cameras... how dull and boring would life be.

this reminds me of that add where the boy is doing a back flip off a boat. unworry?

i do believe this is possibly one of the best pictures i have ever seen. well maybe not but i do love this picture.


look at that lack of style.

well children theres a few things for you to ponder.
love love yasmin

en herstel?

maak en herstel launch was such fun. i can't say i recognized as many as people who recognized me.
although i am impressed that people did recognize me! some people i had not seen since i was about 7 inches tall. (not that i remembered anyway). i had people of all sorts coming up to me and aksing me if i remembered them. although i did try my best, i must admit i told a few white lies whilst i was there. it is most embarrassing when you do not remember and i do tend to just play along with that kind of a thing.
actually, the strangest thing happened to me today. i got all these bizarre messages from an unknown number... then the person rang me. holding myself back from not answering the phone; i have never been able to resist you know, ever since i was a little tot. picking up the phone.
and you know when you haven't talked for ages and your voice goes all weird? like a small boy whose voice has just broken but not quite. well my voice sounded like that, and might i also add that i also have a blocked nose and over the phone my voice does sound about one billion times stranger.
so anyway, i answered this strange yet exiting phone call with a sort of grumble noise. now im not sure if it was a girl or a boy who talked back but im guessing it was a mixture of both. a 'sheman' and i like to call it.
she started having a conversation with me and i was getting all embarrassed and shy and going into my confused and quiet mode. after a while i just sort of stop listening and hung up.
im glad she didn't call again because i wouldn't have known what to say! i feel it is my duty to report to you about these stupid and embarrassing times in my life. it doesn't happen very often as i try my best to cover it up. well thats in my life forever now, its trapped in my brain like a fly caught helplessly in a web.
anway the rest of maak en herstel night pretty much consisted of eating chocolate rocks, bathing in confusingness, making and drinking other peoples beer spit and making flowers out of whine.
all comes for quite a riot.
love love love yasyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

4.. Y

Im totally in love with Edie Sedgwick!
I think she is just fabulous... i wish she wasn't dead.

31

I feel sad for those who died in air bus330. It makes me value my life so much more than I do at the moment, what a way to go!
lets morn for a moment
.
.

.
.
It made me feel so upset that i couldn't even do a cross word yesterday! i love crosswords! Its so strange how things happen like that, I really do hate to say it but it makes me wonder if 'god' actually exists. Its simply not fair! one of lifes many questions... why do these things happen? It intrigues me so, I simply cannot help but read all the articles and watch all of the news reports. I find this sort of a thing oh so fascinating! I guess its probably just one of those things that will always make me stop and listen.
but, I guess I cannot do much about it right? Its not like i can take back time and fly out in a red cape and see what happened and try to stop it. no one even knew anything like this could happen! you would think that planes would have enough technology to stop this kind of a thing happening.
its simply awful. but seriously; imagine dying for your job. being a pilot must be very mind boggling. My pa said its just as dangerous as being a bus driver but I don't think so. Planes can be so dangerous. you would think they would have invented those machines on Futurama by now!
Simply horrible. so sorry.


much love love yasmin,
