Now that we've sorted the weeds from... from t-the flowers (that's not even a thing) (but I'm pretty much calling u a flower so don't complain) I want to talk about TIME.
This topic was inspired by Days Of Our Lives. I tune in almost every day to get my fix of people-with-freakishly-white-teeth-talking-to-each-other-without-any-attempt-of-making-eye-contact but this time, more so than others, I was struck by the existential implications of the theme song.
The rhythmic violins quickly lulled me into a dream-like state and my eyes became transfixed on the hypnotic hourglass spinning in its clockwise rotation. And finally when the majestic "DAYS OF OUR LIVES" title emerged in the foreground I couldn't help but think about life and how short it is (lol I think I'm the first person to ever think about these crazy connections. #revolutionary #deep #poet #poetic #poetry #shakespeare)

It's been more than two weeks since I last posted and I honestly don't know what I've done in that time. It's just a vague blur of:
Playlist #1- SORE TOOTH
On these loosely connected themes of time, crying about subway sandwiches and the inevitability of my failed career in journalism, I think it's a perfectly optimistic moment to shut up and hand you over to the new playlist. This time I've put it on 8tracks so you can actually play it through in its entirety.
- drinking passion pop like this random woman on google images
- my card getting rejected at Subway because apparently I don't even have $7.95 to my name
- crying because of my card getting rejected at Subway and I don't have $7.95 to my name
- being inspired by YOLO
- staring at this photo for 3 days straight and wondering what life means
- tearing up and shouting "GOOD ON HER" over and over again when an old woman won $100,000 on Hot Seat
- and drunkenly walking into a sliding glass door at 7/11 (lol is that why I can't remember anything) (I mean there was lots of blood and I passed out for 5 hours but I don't think that rly means anything haha =])
As you can see with the above list, it seems that I'm quickly spiralling into a life of mundanity. Time is escaping me. Have I hit rock bottom? Is that why all my friends and family are surrounding me right now, crying on each other's shoulders and screaming 'stop doing this to yourself' at me :S? Also what does 'intervention' mean?
But as a journalism/ PR/ media student I know that I'll have to get used to this life. You know, since Gina Rinehart (who suspiciously has the same name and same body shape as Gina Lash) ate 18% of Fairfax. And, you know, since I can't even get a job at the local supermarket. I think I just wanna become a full-time blanket cocoon now. Either that or a duckling.
