Year end/brand new year greetings and all that assorted jazz

Let's see. Stuff that's happened since the last time I was here:

Had 2 of my best friends visit me, got a job (not as glamourous or even close to what I'd like but still a job nonetheless – I haven't even stepped into the office and already I've received my first paid leave), have developed a penchant for guzzling tea of any sort: green, peppermint, chamomile... by the tumblerful (I initially typed "tumblr", does that finally mean I'm one of the kewl people?), received enough pajamas and underwear in my xmas stocking to last the year, spent my new year's eve in Bali where I fired my first roman candle, chopped off several inches of my hair again, packed up all my winter coats and boots and everything fuzzy into boxes for future use (if ever again), begun working on an exponentially increasing necklace collection...

Cut out my affinity for verbosity and there really hasn't been much going on at all.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I've been really into monochromatic outfits of late. Observe:

Trouser Fixation

Let it be known that my countless trouser-hunting escapades have been all but successful. In fact, I've taken to steering clear of bottoms that restrict any sort of movement when on such hunts which has really limited me to lazy, sloppy dressing comprising my denim cut-offs. That miiight just be because I'm lazy. Still, I continue on my quest for the perfect pair of trousers because dammit I deserve them.

TL;DR: Need me some non-skintight pants.

I'm sure it's pretty evident 7 posts into this whole blogging thing that coming up with titles isn't my strongest suit/Stuff I Want

Would overdo this nail-and-lip-colour super combo every day of my life just to satiate my inner cybergoth. Just because never had truer words been spoken than when Lydia Deetz, she of the carefully separated spikey bangs, and of the translucent, almost corpse-like pallor that I strive to perfect muttered those words that would forever resonate within me, "My whole life is a dark room. One. Big. Dark. Room."

Dark.

Sunken eye sockets subtly rimmed in brown against stark white. And look at that half snarl – Alice Glass-ing it up way before Alice Glass did.

Uni worries have given way to a whole slew of other woes; a general lack of direction in life. It's so funny that just a month ago I had all these aspirations and ambitions set out for myself, who knew everything would get shat on in just a few weeks? Yeah, so funny I might just retch. It's just been a fucking torrential rain of fairy sprinkles and kitty hugs.

Oookay. Anyway, in an attempt not to stray too far from the topic at hand, I wouldn't say no to any of the things listed below.
