To make some room in my wardrobe for winter clothes I plan on buying (cos I have a slight shopping problem, heh) I'm selling some stuff.
All brand new, with tags. I've either lost the receipt to them so I can't exchange or the store won't exchange after this period of time. They have been well looked after in my wardrobe!
Check it out here.
Email me at missriss@gmail.com if you want to buy anything.

FYI: all the saucy entries in this journal are "friend's only".
Yeah, I've become a LiveJournal elitist, but there are some things that I don't want everyone to know about ;p
Tell me if you'd like me to add you to my friends list.

Jason Mraz is so my boyfriend! Mwhahaha.
I just got home from seeing him play at The Brass Monkey, and after 3 hours of wonderful ear (and eye) candy, I can safely say that it was the best $10 I've ever spent!!!!
He completely shats all over John Mayer. And everyone knows how much I *heart* John Mayer.
Jason's voice is just amazing and you can't help but go gaga (for lack of a better word) over it. Sexy to the nth power indeed.
Need sleep. Pictures and more stories to come...

| Soundtrack to 2002 |
[30 Dec 2002|11:41am] |
It’s about this time of year that surveys and lists about people’s favourite things of the year- movies, memories, parties etc. are floating around. Here is my little contribution.
As I’ve said before, music is the soundtrack to my life in more ways than I can begin to describe. The following songs (released this year) have been ear candy for me at some point during the last 12 months. Selected not only because I think they all sound good, but also because they all have some lyrical significance to me and were played at/remind me of memorable moments.
01. All You Wanted – Michelle Branch
If you want to, I can save you, I can take you away from here
02. Sweetness – Jimmy Eat World
Sinking into sweet uncertainty…
Lyrical significance, but also reminds me of the night we had JEW’s cd on coming home from a party with 7 of us squished into Sam’s car. Somewhere near Brighton we had to pull over during this song and pile out because two of the guys had to throw up.
03. No Such Thing – John Mayer
I'd like to think the best of me is still hiding up my sleeve
‘Who is this?’ was what all my friends were saying at the start of the year when I started playing his CD that my aunt had sent me from America because it wasn’t going to be released in Australia for months. Now I have successfully converted all of them into being fans, hehe. One of the highlights of my year was going to his concert! But yeah, I guess most people know that ;)
04. Wherever You Will Go – The Calling
05. Echo – Incubus
There's something about the look in your eyes
Something I noticed when the light was just right
It reminded me twice that I was alive
If someone were to ask me what my favourite song of the year is, this would be it. I remember actually considering changing the day of my 21st birthday party after everyone had RSVPed, reservations were made, cake ordered etc. when I found out Incubus were in Sydney for a concert on the same night. Haha, my mum cracked the shits and I couldn’t change it. They also played the next night but it was Kathryn’s 21st party and she would have killed me if I didn’t turn up.
More subtle than something someone contrives
Your movements echo that I've seen the real thing...
06. Passenger Seat – Stephen Speaks
Aww, I just think this is an incredibly sweet song.
07. Special Ones – George
So rather than trying to open my heart, I’m going to lock it with a key
So that only the special ones can ever get through to me
I thought this song was fitting when I was going through my ‘males are an overrated waste of space’ phase. Actually, I'm still there but it's slightly been amended to 'males are an overrated waste of space, but there are a few exceptions' phase ;)
08. The Scientist – Coldplay
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
09. Cochise – Audioslave
I've been drinking life while you’ve been nauseous
10. Screaming Infidelities – Dashboard Confessional
After one of my close friends broke up with her boyfriend of 3 years she had this song playing in her car on repeat for about 2 months. We didn’t know what else we could say or do to help her get over the cheating fuckwit him. Quite depressing really, but I still think the song rocks.
11. Breathe In – Frou Frou
And I'm high enough from all the waiting, to ride a wave on your inhaling
12. On a High – Duncan Sheik
If you’re fine then you’re fine- it’s all how you see it
‘cause there will never be no conspiracy of happiness
13. Come Away With Me – Norah Jones
And I want to wake up with the rain
Falling on a tin roof
While I’m safe there in your arms
14. A Thousand Miles – Vanessa Carlton
This was actually the ring tone on my mobile for the majority of the year, hehe.
15. Everywhere – Michelle Branch
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
If I had bonus material on my CD, I’d include the music video of ‘Like I Love You’ by Justin Timberlake so I could oogle him dancing, as well as John Mayer's video for ‘Your Body is a Wonderland’ because what he does in it is so sweet, it gets me everytime.
If anyone else can be bothered to do this, post it. It'll be interesting to see what 15 songs other people would pick that reflect the last 12 months of their life :)

I know I've mentioned it before about finishing university, but that was just assignments, classes, and exams. Now that i have my results from finals and successfully passed all my subjects I can officially say: I'M FINISHED! I'M DONE! I'M FREE!!!
YAY!!!!!!!!!!
*dances*
My graduation ceremony is May 13, 2003. How exciting :)
Although I don't understand why there is such a big gap from now to when our actual ceremony is...oh well, I don't care because IT'S OVER!!!!!!!!!! NO MORE UNIVERSITY FOREVER!!
Weeeeeee!!!

Your Body is a Wonderland
Something's Missing
Love Song for No One (this totally rocked, his intro was hilarious)
Not Myself
My Stupid Mouth
83
Back to You
3x5
Encore:
Comfortable (by far my fave song, it was just him and his guitar...so beautiful)
Neon
I can't be bothered to study now, I just wanna bask in the afterglow of John Mayer goodness, hee ;)

I like the fact that livejournal has the 'friends only' posting feature.
The majority of my entries from now in this will be 'friends only' and be viewable only by those who are on my friends list. It's not that I have any secrets, it's just nicer being able to keep track of who is reading and exactly who I am opening up to...

"Comfortable"- John Mayer |

the miramis.org server is down :(
anyway i finally got through. my marks were pretty good, but i can't help thinking that i could have gone better.
i do this all the time, i work my ass off throughout the semester, getting distinctions in almost all the assessments but come finals i get lazy, and don't put enough effort into studying. this semester especially was like that for me. we had so many huge assignments due, come finals time i was just so tired and over it.
oh well, i shouldn't complain.
only one more semester left. less than 5 months to go and i'll be finished with this all. and i'm scared shitless.

There are some things I guess you can never know, things that you just can't figure out until the time comes. Should I go with what my head tells me is rational and good? Or should I just listen to my heart and just go on inuition and follow where that may lead?
It's hard to just go blindly on faith and just accept whatever happens.
...I'm going to start using this now for the 'friends only' entries option...gotta love the privacy features on this thing.

I don't use my livejournal to actually post my journal entries.
Having a livejournal account makes it easier for me to leave random comments in the livejournal's I stalk on a daily basis, heh.
If you would like to read my daily ramblings and feeble attempts at being philosophical, visit my website.
