August 30 What a life!!!Geez! What a day! What a life! I wrote my first Psychology Test for this semester!!!! It was multiple choice...but damn! I think I used up all my poor little brain cells! :) Apart from that harrowing experience...heehee...I had a rehearsal with my director (Marc) for Arabian Nights..I can safely say that my character work for the play seems to be coming along rather well! :) I know the first 3 pages of words...now only 37 more to go! Woohooo! :) But life is not so rosy and wonderful for me at home right now... :( Domestic issues....but hey! I guess everybody has there share of family disasters...but I'm really trying not to let it affect me! So cheers to being Miss positive! I just want to concentrate on finishing my semester at university this year...and getting on that plane and leaving for Italy .... Rome! Beautiful Rome! :) I'm having a picnic with a friend tomorrow...so there's something else to look forward to...lots of coffee and cakes!!!! Yay!!!!!!!!! :) More rehearsals...and and Italian Oral! Today I learnt that babies smile instinctively...yeah! Even blind babies that don't even have anything to look at....so smiling is an instinctive human capability..did you know that??!!! Weird! Mostly everything else we do is learned from our experience with the world and others...so that really is a feat of great importance! :) I've been doing some thinking..and for those of you who don't know..I come from South Africa...apart from our sunny beaches and wonderful weather...we're known for the land of apartheid. Unfortunately..that was a time pre-1994 when racism prevailed...white people were thought of as superior and anyone dark-skinned was labeled black and unworthy. But thank to greats like Nelson Mandela the land 'freed' itself...but how free are we right now? They came up with the Truth and Reconciliation committee...they're job was to hear the nasty things people had done to them or their families...like seeing their son burnt alive...or walking into a room of decaying bodies to find their children who were killed only because they were 'black'! And trust me...there's worse stories! But this committee was suppose to hear the victims and the accused out...and allow them forgiveness! How do you as a human being decide whether the man who says he shot a little kid in the head...whether he should be given amnesty!!!??? What a world we live in! And honestly...this is happening now in places like America and Saudia Arabia..a similar brutality....is it right to blow up an innocent family all in the name of state power and what seems politically 'correct'??? Think about that tonight my friends! Our world is turning into a pit of hell....I just hope someone saves us before it's too late!
<punk rock princess> August 28 Evolution and Intelligence......hmmmmI think my brain is totally fried! I spent the whole morning learning about learning!!! Heehee! Yeah! I 've been doing my psychology readings for my big test on wednesday...it's all about evolution and intelligence and Piaget theory of development....all very interesting....just very stressful! But when you think about the marvelous ways that each species can adapt to their environments and then think about how in heavens name they know how to do that...it's actually ingenius!!! *Yaaaawn* I am really tired now though..but I gotta study some more...so I can go out tonight and play with my sister (whose back home for a holiday!) :) I was listening to my coldplay cd's and damn they are so brilliant! Don't you just love the way they're able to pin point your exact feelings and hold it in an excrutiating gesture of melodic mourning??? Hahahaha! :) Yes...I know..I know ...I've gone completely mad! Thanks, but I already know that! ;) Cheers dear world..till I have something of mere importance to say! Mwhaaaaaaa!
August 27 LEAVING ON A JETPLANE....heehee...My trip to Italy has officially been booked everyone!!!!! :) Aaaaah! I'm so excited!!!!
I leave on November 28th and travel through Air Emirates...so I go through Dubai...which is such a lovely place (I've been there twice!)...and then I arrive at the brilliant Rome on the 29th of November!!!! heehee! :) Woohoo!!!
I still can't believe I'm going to Italy!!!! :) What a dream!
I've been very busy busy busy....I had my first read through of the script for Arabian Nights! :)
I get to play the princess...but I also get to be other characters as I tell the story....I get to be ALADDIN!!!! and a captain..and a spy..and an old crone...how very exciting!!! :) So I'm working on different characterizations and accents and stuff! ;)
As for my love life...I'm not too sure whats going on there...!!!???....sometimes I think I know and sometimes I really don't....*my prince*...where are YOU!????
Song to inspire everyone out there today: 'You gotta be'- Desree
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together...
All I know, All I know...is love will save the day! ;) August 22 What is wrong with people today???!Ok...so I'm really really disappointed with the world right now for one many reasons...but the mostly : because of it's incessant need to make everything about BEAUTY!!!!!!!!!!! A girl in my class at university asked me if I wanted to do this promotion job thing....but get this..the only reason she asked me is because 'they looking for pretty indian girls'!!! Yeah! They not looking for brains! They not looking for humour!! They're damn looking for PRETTY!!!!!Grrrr! That really pisses me off! I should feel complimented many people say...but it just makes me sooo mad! Why? O why does being pretty have to be a requirement on everyones list??? It's so frustrating!!! So obviously..I will decline the job on the basis of my fundamental principles that I defy society and it's dumbass needs to make everything about those who seem fit for their stupid standards!!!! On a lighter note....my sister is coming for holidays on Thursday..so I'm really really happy about that! :)
I've been reading 'Piaget's Theory of Intellectual Development'..for Psychology...it's really quite interesting! A little mindboggling at first...but it gets simple once you grasp the actual concepts! :)
I must make a special mention for a blogger friend: Claudine!!! Bonjour mon ami! Je suis desole! Everytime I try to leave you a comment...my computer goes wack!!! But thanks for all your comments dudette! I really look forward to them! And damn! I love your bike!!!!
Ok...now that I've done all those things...I better get back to my studies!

<PUNK ROCK PRINCESS> August 15 I miss my sister.... :(Dear Sister aka Sally
I really really miss you!!!!! :( Waiting for you to come down for the holidays!!!
Jillybean August 11 Live each day as if it is your last!It is very important for every one to remember that there is no such thing as 'the future'...if you live your life that way..always looking towards the future, then you will never find happiness in the here and now! So...it's time to stop fretting about the past...time to leave your dreams to the wind (and hope destiny will be on your side)...and live each second as if tomorrow will never come...it is by doing this...by savouring each present moment that you find enlightenment and peace in your self and others! :) I know this is a bit odd coming from me...but each new moment is a learning gift! So go out there and give your life a total blast! :) Who knows what you could find.... August 10 Today's adventures....Today I learnt alot about Italian culture....it seems, in Italy...their Friday the 13th is actually Tuesday the 14th..interesting!!! Its like a completely different little world isn't it? I 'm so amazed! heehee! :)
Apparently..Italians also don't really get married and have big weddings like before...they just live together! I guess that would be cheaper...???....and if you get divorced..you have to stay unmarried and on your own for 5 years!!! How odd!
Oh..and the first floor is actually the second floor.....heehee! Very very interesting indeed! Besides my italian lecture learning about the house...and italian life...not much occurred today! We did have un ragazzo italiano take us on our italian pronunciation....but thats pretty much it! My friend was sooooo drunk today! Heehee! Way to go dude! But drinking and university don't really go very well I think! We sang along to Maneater (Nelly Furtado) and Loosen up my Buttons (Pussycat Dolls)..I love those songs right now..heehee! Isis (my cat) has been officially selected as part of my 'list of people I would take to my graduation' this year! heehee! Isis' reply: mmmmeow...now get me some food you irritating gurl!!!! HAHAHA! :)
Hope everyone is having a splendid evening...and love is shining a starry glower upon their faces!!! Mwhaaaaaa! August 08 MY FIRST RIDE ON A MOTORBIKE!!!:)How totally awesome!!!! Like friggin' brilliant!!!! I just had my first ride EVER on a motorbike!!!!!! Heehee...and it was sooooo amazing! :) I definitely want to own one! Its one of the most beautiful experiences ever!!!! And I lie NOT!!!! :) So yes...I recommend this to everyone....although I didn't ride with a helmut (and thats very dangerous!)....heehee! The speed...the adrenaline....the wind blowing in your face....its just super INCREDIBLE!!!!! :) So thanks to my best friend, Nishay...you promised to take me ages ago dude!!!!! But thanks for finally taking me! Heehee! Have a splendid day world!!!!!!!!!!!! Bye! Coz I need to go...need to get away tonight!"It's never really easy,but it's ok"!!!! Aaaargh! I went for my drivers license today...and guess what???? Before I even started the damn thing the examiner made me burst into tears!!!! Asshole! I'm really sensitive...one of my bad traits....and he was soooo rude and he screamed at me in front of all these people and I started crying....just great! :( So as you can expect....I was shaking and sniffing and couldn't park the car properly..so that was the end of that! But fear not! I will not give up so easily...I'm going for a standby on thursday....so wish me luck for that!!!!!!!! :) Todays lesson for everyone in this god forsaken planet is....when you're dealt really bad cards in life...don't be afraid to make mistakes Mwhaaaaa! Ok...now I'm going for a ride with my friend in his motorbike!!!!!!!!! Yay!!!!!!!! Ciao ciao!!!! August 06 Confused DreamerConfused Dreamer your eyes are like the wind
they never settle for long enough.
All thats left when you've blown away
are traces of you...memories of dust.
Confused Dreamer...why do you make promises
as if you can fulfill them
when you know the morning sunrise will take you further away.
You've passed your confusion on to me
and left me here to face it
I wrap those dreams in tiny boxes and send them back to you
Confused Dreamer...live as my dream...confused...confused...forever.
By punk rock princess August 04 Is it possible to care too much???Bonjour world! I think I've finally had an epiphany...one of those startling discoveries that make you question yourself! So here's the story...all my life I think I've relied on others way too much to give me a feeling of acceptance and love. So I found this really great guy right...and I think I scared him away because I cared too much for him in such a short period of time! It's not that I'm clingy or psycho..please don't get me wrong dear world..it's just that I've been through so much ...so many lifetimes in the last couple years...that I've learned when something really good comes along, you just HAVE to appreciate it!!!! So I did...because I wanted him to know how special I feel he is..and now..well....he is no where to be found! Just vanished..off the planet!!! :( I guess I shouldn't have been so overwhelming in the first place...but it really makes me think..where do you draw the line when you fall in love? Isn't love about that euphoric feeling that makes you want to do crazy things? Is love not when you start going overboard with doing things..because you're just so goo-goo-ga-ga over the person??? I don't know anymore! But one things for sure....I will save myself now...for the right guy...and only once I truly know he is the right one...will I show him exactly how special he truly is...Mr Right....come and save me!!!! heehee...hmmm..you know what..I don't think I really need saving right now...I'm pretty happy by myself! So respect! To all those single gals (like me) out there in this male-dominated and ferocious world! You go sisters!!!! Have a great night everyone!!!!! August 03 YOU HAVE TO HEAR THIS STORY!!!!!!:)Hahahaha! I just HAVE to share this with you world!!!! Apparently, there exists a species (probably insects i think) that rely on deceptive measures to ...well, basically..'get sum'!!! Heehee! Yeah! What the males of this species do ,is they wrap a stone or pebble or something using their secretions and give it to the female under the impression that it is food of some sort ...the female in eager anticipation begins to unwrap her gift which takes some time, due to it being wrapped and all...and while she is busy doing this, the male has sex with her!!!! How queer!!!!???!!! Who would have thought that insects had the ability to be so deceitful!! It was just a bit of totally useless information that I just had to share with everyone! :)
So you see...human males are not the only ones who bullshit us dudettes!!!! heehee! :)
<punk rock princess> Time to think about 'yourself'....READ THIS CAREFULLY: AND BELIEVE YOU'RE BETTER THAN YOU THINK ;)
Song lyrics : 'Fly' Hilary Duff
Any moment, everything can change,
Feel the wind on your shoulder, For a minute, all the world can wait, Let go of your yesterday. Can you hear it calling? Can you feel it in your soul? Can you trust this longing? And take control, Fly Open up the part of you that wants to hide away You can shine, Forget about the reasons why you cant in life, And start to try, cause it's your time, Time to fly. All your worries, leave them somewhere else, Find a dream you can follow, Reach for something, when there's nothing left, And the world's feeling hollow. Can you hear it calling? Can you feel it in your soul? Can you trust this longing? And take control, Fly Open up the part of you that wants to hide away You can shine, Forget about the reasons why you cant in life, And start to try, cause it's your time, Time to fly. And when you're down and feel alone, And want to run away, Trust yourself and don't give up, You know you better than anyone else, Any moment, everything can change, Feel the wind on your shoulder, For a minute, all the world can wait, Let go of your yesterday, Fly Open up the part of you that wants to hide away You can shine, Forget about the reasons why you cant in life, And start to try, Forget about the reasons why you can't in life, And start to try, cause it's your time, Time to fly. Any moment, everything can change August 02 Losing my faith in human beingsI think that there comes a time when you just have to realise that people are people. Once you put your trust or faith in someone else...the chances are they'll kick you in the face! So today I recommend everyone slap themselves...it saves you the trouble of having someone else do it. Who defines beauty?Why is it that modern society is so completely besotted with superficial beauty??? It seems the amount of people rushing to plastic surgeons, getting facelifts and re-sculpting their bodies...is increasing by the second! Everyone wants to be this idea of 'perfect'...but what is perfect beauty, and how do we define it??? Whose to say that something I find beautiful, may be completely hideous to you??? There is this preconceived notion that beauty is being the perfect slim fair-skinned blonde with fancy clothes and immaculate nails!!!! What the hell is going on in our world???? Really!!!! What I love about Post Modernity thinking is its ability to re-define beauty...to take ordinary simple things and see it in all its glory! Something as simple a s an eye-lash maybe...do you get my point? Being beautiful is not and I repeat NOT on the outside, it's inside....the most gorgeous woman or man could be a cruel bitter dog-kicker..and that person on the train you thought wasn't much..that could become the center of your universe...because they have the ability to see past your imperfections and love you! So you see...there really is more to life....I guess coz I'm back at campus and going for lectures...it gives me the opportunity to learn new ideas and re-construct my thinking of 'the world' we live in. Superficial people everywhere.....get a life!!! :)
<PUNK rock Princess> August 01 Ghost of you...."Ghost of You" Howie Day Lyrics
Lately i've been thinking, lately i've been dreaming with you i'm so resistent to this type of thinking oh now its shining through. i was alone for the last time before my night's vacation with you alive from the first now i'm denied by the ghost of you oh you take yourself a photograph and laugh at me please. i know there's little use in crying its my wide awake and dying than i'm used to. i thought we'd walk these streets together and now i'm hoping that i'll never have to meet you step aside from all this anger and somewhere in between i can feel you ask me should we try again i'm thinking oh no, its not what i believe in its not what i believe in. oh won't you take yourself a photograph and laugh at me please you make yourself a photograph and laugh at me please. no i, want a taste your love no i, no i...no i just want a taste of love oh no i... standing in your shoes i turn and now you're standing bare in my doorway i only wish that i had been prepared i'm going to have to go along with your way just take the plastic camera out its in the pants you borrowed in the driveway alive from the first now i'm denied by the ghost of you. make yourself a photograph and laugh at me please you make yourself a photograph and laugh at me please. no i, want a taste of love no i, no i, i was alive from the first now i'm denied by the ghost of you. Define your truth..define YOURSELF!!!!Hey! Hey! :) Todays topic is a little bit hectic, in that it requires everyone to look deep into themselves, their society and the people around them! Yes...it's time to stop for a moment and realise what makes you...YOU! Interesting enough, we conceptualise ourselves according to our cultures and the status quo...the term 'self' becomes a fusion of what we are...want to be...want others to see..etc.. It's time to stop living the porcelain doll house idea of what we think others want us to be people!!!!! Define yourself...find your own truths in this ever chaotic world..and make your own set of priorities and values to live by! And no! I don't suggest you totally rebel law enforced rules and go out there and kill somebody! Quite the contrary....just think about what is important to you...thats how I plan to live my life from now on! ;) I vow to rebel against structured ways of thinking and acting...because no I am not a sheep!!! I refuse to be one dammit! God gave me a beautiful thing called a mind of my own and its abilities are far superior than we're even capable of fathoming! It's really interesting how ever since Realism and Modernity hit our earth...how we've become so adamant about what the real 'grand narrative' about life and history and society is! But grand narratives are other peoples perceptions and we need not agree with them..because we have our very own set of perspectives ...do we not???!!!! So how about using more of your minds! Really! I'm sick of seeing people trying so desperately hard to conform to everyone they think is 'soooo cool'! Come on! Get yourselves a life worth remembering for heaven's sake! I trust anyone reading my space is in total agreement with me! ;)
See you later! <punk rock princess> |
