she always wears yellow

The heat today is suffocating, and a thick haze of summer has descended on the city. its making me feel lethargic [and due to the rubgy this morning i wish that i could be doing nothing in the sunshine]

listening to: the cd my lovely boyfriend gave me yesterday
"Because when she acts like herself
I swear that she outshines everyone else
But shes been feeling alone
And nobody's fine on their own
Don't you know

And shes been wearing gray
Without a thought of change
And I've been desperately
Trying to make her see
That even when it rains
The sun is still ablaze
And right now in the dark
She is my shining star"

"So you try to think of someone else you’re mad at, and the unavoidable answer pops into your little warped brain: everyone." -Ellen Hopkins

[i think its time for bed]

too much tea

"I will cling to that old rugged cross & exchange it someday for a crown"
Good afternoon. I am feeling seriously energetic today as always on the first day of term...you dont need to be too concerned though, it usually fades by tuesday. Hm, whats new? The last term of the year- only 9 weeks and then im on vacation for forever! Until January. whatever.

[Im going to let you in on a secret and tell you that I've been wearing the same jersey for 3days straight, I should wash it and preserve its cashmere-ness] How sweet is this list?

Last week my dad got home from Mongolia and he brought us panda chocolates, argh now I want a panda, or atleast to stroke one.
Ah its cupcake monday! but as of now-ish the cupcakes are going to apper on the new blog! [yay new blog] http://anobviousobsession.blogspot.com/

the big pink

Happy spring! Happy monday! the weather is glorious in capetown today, which is probably why my "work" day has morphed into a lie-in-the-sun-and-read-day.

Tomorrow is baking day. I am really excited. It's been way too long since my house was graced with the presence of cupcakes. [the following cupcakes are for P&N. you are lovely]I woke up to Florence&the machine- how perfect? It makes everything feel more like spring.

It's been a difficult weekend. tough and sad.[G, come home soon. so I can remind you how lucky I am to have you]

As soon as I love her it's been too long
Talks of future with you caves me in
Swallow my sugar kiss and eat it alone
Hearts get light and smash any dreams of love

Three words we shared said too early on
Stuck with forever float upon a tear
Swimming with the fear where we slowly drown
Ending at never arching melody

As soon as I love her it's been too long
And I really loved breaking your heart
These silver apples will shine on I was wrong
The hottest love has the coldest end

burgers and a boyfriend

I'm coming to the last of my green jelly, and all I want now is real food. or nutella.
[I found some of my food pictures. I can hardly keep going down the green-jelly road when I look at these]

what the heck? How is this a food picture? [its lovely to look at all the same]

ohgosh. the weather outside is wonderful. I just want to be at the beach- in the sun. not inside under my blanket with a headache. [the weekend is almost upon us!! something to make me happier]
peace out x

a jelly monster

Happy wednesday. Goodness, I can't believe the week is more than half way to being over. It's been a long week. I've been in bed with a throat infection since Monday [this is not all bad as my mother has made an endless supply of jelly for me] but after 2days in bed I felt bleh. So this afternoon I went crazy with nailpolish and hair masks and face masks- in the hope of making myself feel like I look better than I do.

[many episodes of the metalist and sex&the city has helped too]

And I've made some headway in Maia by richard Adams- which was painful in the beginning (mostly because It's all about the life of girl sex slaves- not the most amazing topic)

[tries to think of something witty to say but hunger gets the better of her, jelly and red velvet cupcakes are not an ideal breakfast!]

And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the Daffodils

As much a I try to convince myself that it's getting warmer, the weather seems to be working hard to oppose my happy thoughts. [Happily though, monday is almost over! and it's less than 3weeks until September holidays] [I haven't done this in a long time] happy cupcake monday! The cupcakes below are pumpkin cupcakes. ah! How I wish they were in my tummy right now. Yesterday G & i were reading poetry and when i read this to him i'd forgotten how much i loved it. [it reminds me of summer]

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way, They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
