Yes Ma'am!

Here’s something that appeals to some part of me.

The seducing authoritative stance of a girl in uniform (or at least an item that belongs to some sort of uniform). You kind of get the idea that this babe will just own you like you’re her bitch but while still keeping intact the graceful charm of a beautiful woman.

It’s kind of hard to explain, especially considering that the Creative Spoon didn’t feed my mouth today, so I’ll illustrate with a few piccies from piccsy.com

Natalie, my babes.

Mmmmmm....

I Go to Seek The Great Perhaps

So I recently felt a sense of nostalgia while looking through old memories and i came across a passage i had written from one of my favourite high school books, Looking for Alaska.

I also remembered how much of an effect this book had on me and recalled it being possibly one of the best books i had ever read.

And so the search began!

I didn't have to look far, I found it in the first Exclusive Books I walked into and I bought it without hesitation (because I'm a fearless bitch) and after finishing in within 24 hours, I was left in tears and hellishly happy that it was just as good as I remembered it to be.

It's by John Green and if you don't get your little paws on it now, I'll um... Well I don't know what I'll do but it'll be your own loss, so stop being a whiney bitch and do something I tell you, just for once.

This is the original book cover from what I can remember

And this is what the current one looks like

Pretty passages from the book

Rain, Rain, Please Don't Go Away

 When it rains I think of infinity and how the rain can make those who believe, infinite. Infinite in that we belong to the rain and just as the rain always comes back, so will we.

When I think of the rain I think of a line from my favourite movie, “God is in the rain” and it gives me a feeling of faith, that if I just feel and listen, with my hands turned up, to the drops of liquid heaven that for a moment I’ll be a part of something ever-knowing and always forgiving.

“God is in the rain.”

Just think about it, while other runs for shelter or look for safety in cars or homes or even sharing the cover of a corrugated iron bust stop with strangers, the purest form of love is spilling from the sky. Why run? Why don’t they believe in the rain the way I do? Imagine being drenched in life and feeling for just a moment, as if you’re infinite, that if it had to end right now you’d never be lost only ever found in every summer shower and winter downpour.

When I think of the rain I think of ideas and how they’re invincible. No one can stop you from dreaming or thinking and even when you’re gone your ideas will live on. Just as the rain touches so many lives, washes down on them, so will the way I lived be remembered amongst those who I met and learned to love.

When it rains I think of those people and how even though they’re so far away, we’re connected by these floods and when I’m spinning around with up-turned hands, I can feel their love and I can hear their ideas. They too have become infinite.

It's True, I Was Made For You

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to

It's true...I was made for you

I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
But baby I broke them all for you
Because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks
You do

I was made for you

You see the smile that's on my mouth
It's hiding the words that don't come out
And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't know my head is a mess
No, they don't know who I really am
And they don't know what
I've been through like you do

And I was made for you...

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to

It's true...I was made for you<3

We Have Sinned

Fireflies
By Ron Pope

When the streetlights come on and the fireflies flicker,
I am walking her home making plans.
With her shoes in her hands, I am watching her dance,
As the hem of her dress gently kisses the grass.

It suddenly rains on us,
She is laughing and turns up her hands.

Like autumn turns leaves, winter will breathe, cold on our necks, snow in our paths.
Wherever she goes, all that I know about us is that beautiful things never last,
That's why fireflies flash.

When this summertime ends, we will not part as friends,
Things were promised in blood; we have sinned.
Now there's tears in her eyes as she's screaming goodbye,
As I run 'long side the car turning numb to the sound.

I notice a chill in the air,
September is creeping up fast.

Like autumn turns leaves, winter will breathe, cold on our necks, snow in our paths.
Wherever she goes, all that I know about us is that beautiful things never last,
That's why fireflies flash.

Innocence didn't mean we're immune to these things,
Let's blame the passage of time.
Love and loss, truth it costs more than I can spare right now.
Maybe it's simpler to lie...

Like autumn turns leaves, winter will breathe, cold on our necks, snow in our paths.
Wherever she goes, all that I know about us is that beautiful things never last,
That's why fireflies flash.

People. The Same Old People.

There's an undeniable truth that people never really change. This I find applies for the most part in relationships (if it even reaches that point).

No one is ever really happy with what they have; they constantly want more, the next best thing. No one is willing to fight for someone in the sense that they find fault and give up at the smallest of mistakes. That’s the reason no one makes it these days. People have to learn to be more understanding, especially if it’s with someone you love or really like, it’s worth fighting through the pain and working it out rather than just quitting (or putting that person into a guilt trip and making them feel like a shitty, lousy person.)

People also love playing games and having back-up plans. Whatever happened to romance? Today it’s the new rage to chat up at least two people at the same time so when one goes sour there will always be the other one to pick up the pieces and kiss it all better. It’s bullshit. I like the idea of having a romance that is shared between only two people, something that only happens in the movies these days, something that is worth telling stories about.

To all you babes out there who are playing second fiddle, it’s time to say, “like, wtf bru?”
Haha okay maybe that lacks a certain etiquette, but you get the idea. How about being someone’s one and only instead of being another option for them. Be with someone who isn’t scared to put all their faith in you and put enough faith in yourself to know that you are worth all the romance any Shakespearian Wannabe can muster up. You’re beautiful. You’re beautiful and you should know that.

Sorry about the rant session but it is a Moanday after all.

Underrated

Let me just talk about a babe that is totes underrated.

Ashley Greene

You will know her from the Twilight Saga as Edward's future-seeing sister, Alice. But I know her as the babe who pretty much makes my knees weak. Have you ever taken the time to really admire this fox?

She's almost a perfect 10 with huge, smoldering eyes, perfectly shaped lips and cheek bones that will make any well-known gay designer squeel with joy. Don't believe me? Take a look for yourself...

Believe Me When I Tell You

Oh Darling
By Florence + The Machine
Original by The Beatles

Oh! Darling, please believe me
I'll never do you no harm
Believe me when I tell you
I'll never do you no harm

Oh! Darling, if you leave me
I'll never make it alone
Believe me when I beg you
Don't ever leave me alone

When you told me you didn't need me anymore
Well you know I nearly broke down and cried
When you told me you didn't need me anymore
Well you know I nearly broke down and died

Oh! Darling, if you leave me
I'll never make it alone
Believe me when I tell you
I'll never do you no harm

When you told me you didn't need me anymore
Well you know I nearly broke down and cried
When you told me you didn't need me anymore
Well you know I nearly broke down and died

Oh! Darling, please believe me
I'll never let you down
Believe me when I tell you
I'll never do you no harm

The Life We'd Like to Lead - In the Kruger

So many people love the idea of leaving the hustle and bustle of the big city, leaving everything they know behind. But like most big decisions, something like that would take balls and I'm not talking about your average human-sized balls, I'm talking about the kind that would get the whole neighbourhood talking and that's just what my parents did. After working themselves into a craze and having to deal with guns being pointed in their faces, they decided that there was more for them than that.

Being the out-doorzie people they are, the most appealing option was moving everything to the Kruger and building their own lodge. My dad (who now goes by the name of Ranger Bob besides having nothing to do with his actual name) is now taking people on game walks and drives and livin' his gangsta life shooting monkies, while my stepmom has taken up the lovely art of baking. I'm not complaining.

Being a city gal, I'm used to the bright lights and music of traffic day in and day out and although I hardly ever get to go to exotic destinations, I find great comfort in knowing that my home away from home is a little piece of wildlife heaven.

The lodge, which has been named Raptor Retreat, is still being built but here's a taste of what the house and that look like:

The logo

One of the many rooms. That thing in the corner is a shower.

My parent's room. You can't see it but just to the right is their walk-in closet.

Yes. This is a bath. IN THE WINDOW. So while you're relaxing in some bubbles, feel free to watch any passing by wild animals.

Sorry about the poor lightingbut thisthe lounge.

The patio where we just laze away and check out some bitchin' animals.

Another view of our patio. That thing on the right is a swing chair. sigh. My favourite.

The boma where we make fires and braai and smoke hubbly.

The little pool area that looks WAY better in summer.

Outside view of the house:)

This is Missy the tame impala. She's too cute to live. Her favourite activities include licking my leg, head butting people and chewing on cushions. What a babe.

My little piece of heaven<3

Jamaica Me Crazy

Don't let the name fool you, this place happens to make the best burger in town!

It's a camembert burger and comes on your choice of beef, chicken or veggie with a fat piece of camembert on the top, covered in sweet chilli sauce.

Not only that but your burger is also accompanied by some heavenly onionrings and chips!!! (I know right)

They make cocktails that will even the manliest guy want to drink a pink drink and these are available for R16 every day from 5-6pm.

Perfection

Have you ever met someone who just seems to be perfect? Or kind of just everything you're looking for? (maybe even in a friend,
if not a lover)

The more and more you talk to them, the more you realise how all of your desires and fascinations are embodied in this one person. And just my luck, this person happens to be hours away from me.

This tall babe happens to play guitar, act, write poetry, she's into Post-Modernism, she's into photography, she can cook, she drinks as much as I do, she appreciates pretty gals and I just happen to get along with her sister really well.

The sad part? I won't get to hang out with her until September :/

If some people have all the luck, I'm definitely not some people.

And on a side note, straight girls are never a good idea.

I hope you lovelies have a delicious Sunday, I'm off to listen to Bon Iver, Band of Horses, Manchester Orchestra and The Maccabees.

*insert something cute and sincere*

Say NO to Hangovers

Can I tell you what's fun? 2 for 1 drink specials and partying the night away with your awesomely bitchin' friends.

Now can I tell you what's not fun? 2 for 1 specials and spending the next day bed ridden and immobile because one wrong move and your gag reflexes will take advantage of your vulnerable stomach.

I did, however, have one of the best nights last night. It was my friend, Claudia's 20th birthday. We've been friends for close to seven years now and she just gets more banging every year. I hope she had the best night ever. It meant a lot to me to be able to share it with her. Ah Claw Claw I'll be spending a lot more with you I hopezies :D

Now that the sentimental stuff is done, let me just tell you how painful my day was. Not only could I hardly move but I was also strangely hilarious and I just happened to make myself genuinely laugh out loud. What's so bad about that, you ask? Well laughing is like taking the safety button off the gag reflexes and tempting fate. And then to make matters worse, I got hiccups.

I am also stuck in bed feeling sorry for myself when I could be at a babe's house watching dvds with her and trying to resist the urge to kiss her faccia off.

Do you feel sorry for me? Probably not because I brought this upon myself but I'm glad I got to waste a few vital moments of your precious lives.

Happy Thursday Y'all :D

Your Body is a Symphony

Calender
By Panic! At The Disco

*only for you


"They said if you don't let it out
You're gonna let it eat you away
I'd rather be a cannibal, baby
Animals like me don't talk anyway

Feel like an ambulance
Chase her away
Pray I could replace her
Forget the way her tears taste
Oh, the way her tears taste

Put another X on the calendar
Summers on its deathbed
There is simply nothing worse
Than knowing how it ends
And I meant everything I said that night
I will come back to life
But only for you
Only for you

The world may call it a second chance
But when I came back it was more the relapse
Anticipation is on the other line
And obsession called while you were out
Yeah it called while you were out

Put another X on the calendar
Summers on its deathbed
There is simply nothing worse
Than knowing how it ends
And I meant everything I said that night
I will come back to life
But only for you
Only for you

Asleep in a hive
I guess all the buzzing got to me
While I'm still alive
At night your body is a symphony
And I'm conducting

It said if you don't let it out
You're gonna let it eat you away

Put another X on the calendar
Summers on its deathbed
There is simply nothing worse
Than knowing how it ends
And I meant everything I said that night
I will come back to life
But only for you
Only for you
Only for you
Only for you
Only for you
Only for you"

She

She knows what she wants without really knowing at all. She's kept all these secrets bottled up inside but they spill out with every move she makes. Is it weird that I'd rather watch her live than hear her tell me about her life? She has this way of needing me and then using me all up as if my touch has an expiry date.

I like to watch her when she's lost in thought. She makes these faces that paint the silence, paints it in the colours of all those late nights and early mornings... My bed was always black and white without her...

Its hard to talk to her because there's always a song in my head when she's close. I'd hate to mix up reality with my hopeless songs of pretty muddled up words.

Pretty because they're about her.

She must be dreamt up, some niche in my subconscious. She crumbles at skin on skin and I'm left with the dust of a girl who couldn't be this real to anyone else. Real because I can still hear her breathing.

She's always lost and I'm always searching. I need her to know that she has a resting place. She belongs somewhere. She belongs with me.

Don't Run

If only you saw what I see...

"You got these little things that you've been running from
You either love it or guess you don't
You're such a pretty thing to be running from anyone
A vision with nowhere to go

So tell me right now, you think you're ready for it
I wanna know why you got me going
So let's go, we'll take it outta here
I think I'm ready to leap, I'm ready to live

I'm ready to go"

Yes, Everybody Did Get Down Like Animals

Its hard to not love Joburg night life.

My first night out being back and as always, bitches got crazy. It was amazing to see so many familiar faces that I love all under the same roof. As anyone would expect a night that starts with car bar can only end in people losing their shit on the dance floor to PH Fat and ending up somewhere in the gutter mumbling traces of "mmmfine"

But it was all so worth it. Obviously.

Here's to nights of carbar.cane.wine.pina coladas.caramel vodka.stolen radios.bushy bushy blonde hair do.kisses.broken atm.almost threesomes.beautiful people.missed friendships.new friendships in the bathroom.jager.long hair.bitches throwing up.serenades.jelly boobs.stolen kisses.

I love my life!
