stripy sweaters & sweet caroline

When I procrastinate during exam-time, I end up downloading a ton of music. I also end up paying heaps of attention to my hair, waiting for the pins & needles in one/both of my legs to go away (most frustrating thing ever) & oscillating between panic & this state of pure zen.

this is what I look like when I'm in the midst of doing everything listed above.

Yay for chunky peachy stone bracelets!! I've found I tend to buy cheap jewelry based on weight over design, weird huh? I also purchased a TON of bobby pins for $2.50. Confession: I've never really used bobby pins til this year. I've never been able to put them in my hair properly, and as a consequence, I never knew my wavy fringe had the option of not splaying out over my forehead when I didn't straighten the living daylights out of it. RIDICULOUS. But then my flatmate D was all 'Bitch, here, a bobby pin' & I was all, O. HAI.

Cool story, bro.

OH, and also, also, Shaun & I were like OH MEH Butterflies Hospice Shop, because it's one of those op shops that has cottoned on to the secondhand trend (read: hiked up prices to make a profit) and part of the excitement of op shops is the possibility of finding buried treasure and opshops that know their shit kind of take away from that feeling. But then when we went in today he found an awesome sweater, this striped Billabong one for $8, and usually I would never pay $8 for anything op-shoppy, but he looked so darn cute that I totes caved & let me tell you, it is in SUPERB condition. He found a Threadless tee a couple of weeks ago; this boy learns quick!
