Once upon a time, Jess & I decided to do something to brush away our boredom. So we created the HAPPY WEBCAM PROJECT. Basically: we set topics for people to talk about, and add challenges to make everything more trivial. For our very first challenge, we had to talk about things that made us happy, with the aid of a sock puppet. My contribution:

Anywho, now that I have promoted the Happy Webcam Challenge enough, it's time to GET EXCITED FOR THE CRUISE!
ONE DAY LEFT. Well, approximately 48 hours but I'm counting it as 1 day because the actual 'day of' does not count. I just finished making my dress this morning WHICH IS REALLY REALLY GOOD, because I was all panicked and worried that I wasn't going to finish my dress in time.
The bad news: it's going to be something like 17 degrees max on Thursday. We will be on water in the city at night= the perfect recipe for human iceburgs. I wish you all luck in finding adequate warmth-providers.
I lost my diary so I will type up my to-do and to-bring lists for the cruise. Chances are you don't know me personally, you don't know the people I will talk about, or you won't give a crap. Feel free to just skip straight to the comments (why yes, I am implying that you should comment.)
TO-DO LIST
- Try to get rid of the stupid arm disease I have on my arm (I've had it for half my life, chances are it's not going to go away before the cruise, but wishing never hurt anyone)
- Wax and shave
- Try to get rid of my leg scars (doubt I can, do people make concealer for knees?)
- Make clutch
- Find a giant coat (or cream to protect me against frost-bite, if such a thing exists)
- Figure out how to do makeup
- Get rid of disgusting layers and layers of nailpolish building up on toe-, and finger nails
- Pray that the blisters on my foot will heal (I can't crazydance in my heels if I still have blisters by Thursday)
I'm going to Jessica's house before to have a BIG FUN GIRLY TIME, and hopefully (unlike last year), there will be no last minute wardrobe malfunctions, I will not have to create my headpiece 3 hours before the actual event, I will not have to sew up someone's dress so it can fit, I will not run around stressing out and screaming, and I will not turn up an hour late.
- My dress
- Jessica's dress
- David's waistcoat
- My shoes
- Hair straightener
- Make up (double check for plum nailpolish, eyeliner, lipstick, gold powder)
- Thread + scissors + needle
- My clutch (WITH PHONE AND CAMERA, CHARGED AND RECHARGED)
YESTERDAY: I watched 500 Days of Summer, which was REALLY REALLY GOOD. I recommend you to all go watch it. The music was soooooo good, Zoey Deschanel was sooooooo pretty, and I literally laughed until I cried. Other than that, I also got massive blisters from trying to go shopping in 14cm wedges, ended up buying sparkly black sandals to walk in, and getting (what I believe) some kind of foot fungi or mould or magic mushrooms growing on my feet as a result of walking through a puddle. Long story short- it started crazy raining which I did not expect (and was not at all prepared for). I ended up spontaneously buying a tacky (but hilarious) leopard print umbrella, and sharing it with Van who tried to hide her face in shame. And that was how I walked through a puddle almost bare-foot (TALK ABOUT IMPRACTICAL, I HATE FLIPFLOPS, THEY LOOK DISGUSTING AND THEY ARE DISGUSTING TO WEAR, ESPECIALLY IF ITS RAINING.)
TODAY: I watched The September Issue (WHICH WAS ALSO REALLY REALLY GOOD, except it's only showing at like three cinemas in Sydney), then tried to catch hailstones from my window. [/day][/post]
