My heart has a picture:

My heart has a poem:

We wander through these jasmine days, of mystery and hope, with knotted hands and brittle hearts and breaths of tear-stained words. We wander and we hide, we hide and we stay. Possessing an ember, possessing an embrace. Hiding still amongst the ivory birds; growing backwards, learning goodbyes and stumbling into new memories.

My heart has a quote:

"Living is a form of not being sure, not knowing what next or how. The moment you know how, you begin to die a little. An Artist never entirely knows. We guess. We may be wrong, but we take leap after leap in the dark." -Agnes DeMile

My heart has an outfit:

My silver mini-dress, black sequined tights, home-made Ruby slippers, calculator watch, black leather headband (worn as a bracelet), amber bracelet, concert wirst-band, vintage blue & gold French bracelet and British Airways bag.

My heart has a place:

The old tree in my back garden.

My heart has songs:

Almost Lovers - A Fine Frenzy * Breathe Me - Sia

Typography Again!!

All I can be is myself…whatever that is.

*this title has been left intentionally blank*

I'm trying my hand at 'typography'! Yay! What do you think?
'THINGS TO REMEMBER: Everyone feels like everyone else, just not at the same time. People are unpredictable. Letting go is better than maintaining control. Absolutely nothing good can come out of over thinking things.' As long as you believe in me, nothing else matters. I'm sorry if I ever hurt you, you just deserve better. xoxox

My Arty Farty Blog

I'm going to keep it short 'n' sweet. I have made a new blog for all of my Art and favourite arty things. www.theseteenagelips.blogspot.com I'm trying to figure out how to put music on there too. Have fun browsing! xoxox

A Challenge!

Try watching Jeopardy without saying the answers out loud when you know them. Just you try.

Photography: The Window to My Soul

So, I'm beginning my Portfolio for photography, and so far it's been Katie and Megan running the ship and me just tagging along. And if you know me, you'll know how much that pees me off. Especially when it comes to Art.
You can also be expecting a request for models, as I NEED MODELS!! I'm sick of being one. So there. This is the official end of my short-lived modelling career. I'll be doing a series of collages and B&Ws, but I only have a Nikon, so they probably won't be too great. Yay! Art! XOXOX

Caitlin, Perms and the End of the World

This post has nothing to do with Caitlin or perms. I'm sorry. Apparently, the Aztec calender ends on the 21st December 2012. So the world is going to end then. It was only a matter of time before it came and ruined MY birthday. Never mind that it didn't end on all the other days it was supposed to...why can't the Apocalypse just be co-operative? Why does it have to be so lazy? Jeez. It's not too much to ask, is it?
Birthday Invitation for the Year 2012: It's Elly's 18th Birthday today! You can be sure of 5 things (count 'em, five!) There will be *Tables *Chairs *Pizza *Happiness ..AND.. *The end of existance! (nothing else is garuanteed) -Spend your last hours on Earth in style! Hope y'all can make it! Best. Party. Ever. We got chairs!
Just got out of the shower and decided that I am no longer to be trusted with pointy things- I have acquired three new slashes on my legs and knees. THREE!! I nearly bled to death on the bathroom floor.

"I Will Prove That I'm Better Than You"

Skills on toast for real, y'all!

On one of my posts, some of you replied with Xs and Os. Thanks for all replies re:the Xs and Os of love. But now I am more confused than ever. What if I lean in for an X, but get an O? Wait...Is the X the kiss and the O the hug? The X seems almost too aggressive to stand for an act of affection. Maybe it means ANGRY KISS...like I LOVE YOOOOO *grrrrrr*

Fly Haiku

A note to the fly, who flew straight into my mouth; you forgot a leg.

Sock Haiku

An odd dream last night; all my socks had got divorced, and my feet were sad.

Cookie Haiku

Spoon of cookie dough, dessert for the impatient. Oven's too damn slow.

Skills On Toast

~Music Or Some Such Whimsical Nonsense~

No, YOU'RE doing it wrong!!

Mood: Fine, thank you very much.

Listening to: Songs that remind me of people. (Emmy-Lou *Emma* = Story of a Girl by Nine Days. Caitlin = Drops of Jupiter by Train. Rach = Curse of Curves by Cute Is What We Aim For. Ashlee *Lurch* = Papercut Skin by The Matches..or..You Can Breathe Now by Jack's Mannequin. Teagan *Smithy* = Don't Dream It's Over by Crowded House. Teagan *Ford* = Bodies by Little Birdy. Daniel = Ohio Is For Lovers by Hawthorne Heights. Justin = Riot by Sugarcult. Jack = Barbie Girl by Aqua. Jake *Turtle* = Run by Snow Patrol..or..Still Fond by Cut Off Your Hands. Vince = Kelly by Van She. Travis = Release Me by Mae (but only the chorus)..or..Toothpaste Kisses by The Maccabees. Tom *Giggles* = My Name Is Jonas by Wheezer. Raoul = Autumn's Monologue by From Autumn to Ashes..or..All the Small Things by Blink 182)

Where You At? The secret HQ for the 'Van Morrison and Miley Cyrus Haters Not-Anonymous'. We have corn-on-the-cob. *Pulls out banana* Nyom nyom nyom -eats-

In conclusion, here are some things that make me *and, to a certain degree, a small amount of you* skill. #1 I like keeping small change in my wallet 'cause then it feels full of money..and I jingle when I walk. #2 Dude, I'm tripping balls. #3 I actually LIKE old movies. I don't just say that I do to be cool..Katie..pfft. #4 I know lots and lots of webcomics. None of which you can know. #5 Sometimes, I wear the same pair of jeans for over three weeks straight, and they still feel uncomfortably clean. #6 I'm a sociologist / tattoo artist / museum curator / author / gallery curator / art-historian / art restorer / Indie muso goddess in training. #7 Dude, I'm tripping balls.

*Footnote - 'Dude, I'm tripping balls' is a colloquial term for the feeling of being 'high as a kite', or stoned. Yes.

Ashlee - or Dream Meanings.

To my dear pal Ashlee, on her second day of *sicks* Get un-sicks soon!

And now for the other part of the post. I've been having some odd dreams lately, and am a very strong believer in the unconcioud messages of dreams, so I decided to find out what I was telling myslef.

In my dreams, I'm walking in the snow, and see a red jacket half-buried. Snow represents repressed emotions and strains; finding something in the snow is an exploration of new talents. To see red is an indication of raw energy and frustration, while a jacket shows your protective nature and a feeling of isolation.

I won't describe the rest of the dream, as we could be here all day, but here's a brief summary of the meanings. An axe suggests that you need to cut up all of your workload/problems into smaller peices. Cake means that you need to share or allocate your workload, and be more open with emotions. To be attacked by someone shows that you are feeling stressed, hurt or vulnerable. Blue represents a desire to get away or express yourself and gain clarity of mind. Silver signifies tranquility and protective energy.

*please tell me if you have any unusual dreams, and I'd be more than happy to research them for you*

Another Pointless Post -or- Personality Test

Mood: meh, bit dejected.

Listening to: You're So Last Summer - Taking Back Sunday
Why I like it: I don't really, but I love the line '..you could slit my throat, and with my one last gasping breath, I'd apologize for bleeding on your shirt' -best punk love song ever!

Where you at? My house, yo.

Doing: Art projects, geography stuff and math homework.

Colour Personality Test- choose your favourite colour from the list below and check the comments to discover what your choice says about your personality!! Yay! Quiz!!!

Red Pink Orange Yellow *White* Green Blue Purple Black

Colour Test 2- for this test, you have to think six people you know, and assign their name to a colour, and you can't repeat names. Check comments for your results. Find out what the people in your life mean to you!! Yay! -again. Red Blue *White* Yellow Green Orange

*Ashlee* I was looking for your Hal-new-easter-ween-en-time Day present, and I found an

early one, but I don't think you'll be getting it because I hate you. And your lousy gosh-darned face.

Crappucino

So. Dad got me a coffee today. I mean a non-instant coffee. A 'real' coffee. A full-strength skinny latte coffee. Not that great - he got annoyed when I put like 5 packets of 'Equal' into it, and I pointed out that I'm pretty new to this whole thing (with the exception of the weak-ass sugar-saturated instant that I had at Teagan's).
I'm going to watch "The Science of Sleep" in a minute, also watching "Moving McAllister", so I'll let you know how that goes. Your own little movie guru!
Op-shopping is AWESOME!!! I got a $3 dress, $10 shoes, $0.20 watch, $0.50 shiny-licious leggings and a $5 super-dooper awesome desk (it's got an atlas on the top). I'll put up photos of my newest finds in a couple of days, because I have to pick up the desk on Monday.
Until next time! :)

Some Stuff Y'all Need To Know

In the dirt, no one can hear you scream.
Anywho...I eat honey from packets, I CANNOT sleep in total silence, I hate open doors in small rooms, mostly I read magazines from back-to-front, bare feet scare me, I can only eat my cereal with a teaspoon (I don't understand how people can eat toast without anything on it), I count bathroom tiles and I hum too much.

Anything odd that you guys do? If so, please let me know!

XD Elly

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

So, I may not be able to blog tomorrow, but I bring early tidings of sickeningly pink joy to all!!
I find the whole back-story to Valentine's Day (or V Day, as it is known in the anti-circles) deeply disturbing. What with being shot in the heart by some nappy-wearing psycho...in the event that the winged cherub misses his mark and kills me, consider yourself invited to my funeral!
<3 Elly

Poem

So. I haven't written a poem in a while. Here are a few haikus.

...

Midnight snack search.

Sad, futile fridge excursions.

So cold, so empty.

...

I wished on a star

That one day, you would love me.

My wish has come true.

...

This watch is too loud.

It tick-tocks my life away.

And with sarcasm.

...

Thank you, thank you *bows*

Meanwhile, In A Town Called Spoons...

My favourite is the bottom right one, "Topaz is my favourite gemstone. It's the colour of your eyes today." Nyaaw!! *Valentine's Pressie idea* Caitlin and Travis - you have vampire eyes!! Ashlee - yours are more like hazel, sorry..that you're boring. Another one I like is "Cold, angsty and shiny." and that's why I love Edward. Because he's shiny. And angsty. But mainly shiny. I'm proud to say that I have OCD (Obsessive Cullen Disorder) I LOVE TWILIGHT!!!!

P.S - the title is funny if you've read the books. Or seen the movie.

P.P.S - which Twilight character are you? I'm Bella! YAY!!!

And So, A Lurch Is Born.

Ashlee is now to be called Lurch...I shall explain. She's so tall, she's weird, she likes the Janitor in Scrubs, and one day she's going to crack and murder everyone. So it suits her! No longer is she to be referred to as Ashlee, just Lurch. Yay!!
