I got this charm bracelet with some Christmas money from my Grandfather. First charm on it (also with Christmas money), is a book that opens and has a worm inside. The second charm I bought because it reminded me of one of my best friends and I had already decided that I wanted to get charms to represent each of them. This friend of mine, once upon a time he had a bit of an obsession with cows – it was very cute (and I’m sure he’d hate me for saying that!)

My feet were worthy of being removed after the weekend.

Oh the joys of lacking motivation, a broken blog, and laziness. These are the reasons I hadn’t uploaded them yet – sorry!

004/365There are no words for how I was feeling when I took this yesterday. I had been so uptight and anxious, and I kept getting a blood nose and really bad headaches – it was just not nice.
Day late in uploading, but I was too busy trying to sort things out with shuffling my blog along. I decided that while wordpress has it’s advantages, I don’t want to buy hosting again, I’ll just keep my domain name and use it over here at blogger. (It’s all right – my url is still http://www.lolitajaynescarlet.com)
Fingers crossed that today is a better day ♥

003/365My head is off in the clouds right now – I’ll be back to Earth later! Oh, and I can’t believe I’m up to day three already! Wow – I have to admit, that for me, this is dedication ♥ The words are lyrics from Within Temptation’s song, Angels.
Hope you’re all having a wonderful day lovelies! xx

This is me ♥Photospam.
This is a mixture of new photos, with re-edited old ones that I’ve uploaded over the last few days. I hope you enjoy them, and there are more up at my photostream (and I’ve updated my profile)!

002/365I hate it when I feel down and can’t seem to pick myself up again. I think that I’m coming up again, when something else hits me and I feel sad all over again. Today is just one of those days.
“You’re my star girl. ♥ me ★”
Once upon a time, I would go through several notebooks a year – I would sit there and just write random things onto the pages, or pass it along to a friend so that they could write me a letter, so I could look back on it at a later date. Sometimes we would even have conversations in there. One friend declared me incapable of proper human social interaction – I could only converse through the means of my notebooks.
I dug some of them out today and was reading them. Some of it was lovely – but some of it was equally horrid. I was such a bad friend to my best friend, I certainly never deserved their friendship. They opened up so much, and I never saw it until now, when it was too late and I’d hurt them.
One of my resolutions for the new year was to rebuild bridges that I have burned – I hope that it is possible.
Do you believe it is possible to fix things that you have ruined with flame?

This year I will do the 365 project, so sadly for all of you… you may need to get used to seeing me!
Hope you’re all well ♥

This month over at the Lace and Flora community, they have a double theme: Winter Holidays / People Who Inspire You. As it is Summer here in Australia, I’m obviously unable to do the first of the two themes. Even with the second theme, I can’t show you all of the people who inspire me, as they’ve requested I get their permission before uploading photos of them (and this is a spur of the moment post!) or I haven’t asked their permission yet. Those people are Kyle, Brendan and Joel, but here are those I can show you:

click images for their source
It looks like a fantastically dreary day here in Melbourne ♥
I haven’t finished NaNo yet, but I have over 48,000 words now. Before I do any more word wars though, I must head out and buy some fabric so that I can make my dress for this Saturday – I’m hoping for something green to bring out my eyes, and match with my silver and gold shoes and silver tiara. Wish me luck – on both counts!
I’m feeling miserable at the moment, so hopefully achieving these two things will cheer me up.

click on image for source I know, it’s perhaps silly. Making sure to keep memories preserved, and backed up. After what happened on February 7th though, it reminded me of the value of photos and special written notes. My brother got called out to fight a small bushfire nearby this morning. Apparently it’s small, but keeps jumping containment lines. It just served as a timely reminder though, that we are in the fire season again. After the dreadful death toll last February, my family and I have decided that we won’t stay and defend.
What if we aren’t there to grab the important legal documents though? Or all the family photos, and notes from my grandparents, and great aunt’s that we have lying around the house? I won’t manage to get it all together, but I have started scanning things in. My laptop goes everywhere with me, so we will still have some treasured things safe.
It’s a daunting task though. My mum has suitcases full of photos, it’s going to be a lot of work. It isn’t a nice way to live in the meantime… the fear… but as long as I can get together as many things as possible. I’m sure we’ll be okay. I have a very bad memory – photos serve as a prompting device, I see an image and it starts to bring things back. Where would I be if photos from my childhood, my parent’s and grandparent’s childhoods were lost? I’d forget so much.
I know it probably seems silly, but it’s important. To me, at least anyway.
