2014: the year ahead and what it could bring

Happy new year everybody!
I wonder what 2014 will hold? Will good things come? One thing I know for sure is that it won't be status quo like this last year anyway, good or bad I'm enrolled at uni so that will be a major change from the get go. I'll turn 27 in march, which I'm not looking forward to-I always try to do something for my birthday so it doesn't pass unmarked, like going out to eat with the family, any suggestions for me? Another year older is getting scarier each time, I'm so far from where I thought I'd be, where I want to be. It makes me reluctant to plan forward, even though I know the years will pass with or without my doing anything, it feels scary to think I may be 28 before I go on exchange, that I may be 30 when I get a working visa. Or that maybe I won't do any of those things at all. I can't help but think that with each year that passes my chances of finding a partner get lower and lower. I also imagine once uni starts my posts will be less frequent (unless of course there are heaps of the 'OMG what was I thinking, I'm going to fail!' type ones....I make no promises), I really enjoy writing posts and reading comments-makes me feel like I'm a real girl or something ;) So thanks to you guys for putting up with me-I hope you continue to follow along as I muddle through just as I intend to continue to keep up with you guys. Who I consider my internet friends :))
I'm off to the uni tomorrow to get my student ID card and talk to my course convener-if you think of any questions I should be asking let me know! So far I'm going to ask about exchange and about my open electives.

I also wanted to share this makeup tutorial I found, what do you guys think? Is this a nice not-overdone look that would be okay for both uni/a date (if I ever go on one!)? I think it's really pretty but not too heavy and would make my greeny-blue eyes stand out.



I aslo wanted to share this link for those of us who wonder what's wrong with us or if we just have the wrong 'look' to find love:

This amazing lady has found love despite what many of us would think was an insurmountable obstacle. She's australian, I'd love to meet her.

PS I have to admit I'm looking forward to the new sherlock series too :) Hopefully they won't make us Aussies wait too long to see it!

  1. 1) Happy New Year! Hope 2014 brings you joy and that uni goes well.

    2) I like the rose-gold, you should give it a shot. Heck, I think I will give it a shot.

    3) I <3 anything Sherlock Holmes and am looking forward to the new series too. Do you watch "Elementary" with Lucy Liu and Jonny Lee Miller? Love that show as well. Sherlock is probably my favorite fictional character (although I do love James Bond and the Bond girls as well)

    4) Carly is freakin' amazing! 'Nuff said.

  2. The new urban decay naked palette looks good. I little too expensive though. I got the urban decay vice palette as a gift and I think their eye-shadow is great.

    You should do the harbour bridge climb if budget permits for your birthday. It's something i've always wanted to do but never got around to doing.

    And the for "with each year that passes my chances of finding a partner get lower and lower" part, I kind of started thinking that a year or so ago. I'm at the point now I have just kind of given up :p

    1. Very expensive! But I only have one palette other then it so I figure I haven't spent much at all LOL

      That's a great idea! I'll look into it :)

      Well don't give up or I'll have to as well ;) Besides you need to keep your eyes peeled for green shirt guy!

  3. Happy New Year! It's never too late to find a partner - people meet people at all sorts of times of life. I think sometimes the media makes it look like only really young people who look a very specific way find love or have sex, but that's not reality. There are plenty of guys out there who would like to date you and there still will be in 5 or 10 years too. All you have to do is start going on some dates when you're ready! ;) Oh, and I think the make-up looks nice.

    1. Happy new year back!
      I hope you're right! My sister still looks pretty good at 36 so hopefully I will too :)
      The makeup is nice...now to get to a point that I can do it without looking like someone punched me in the eye ;)

  5. Hey
    Thanks for sharing my blog on the forum and also here (my blog stats alerted me).
    I feel very happy and content with my love. Though he's not my first boyfriend nor experience with a man, he is my first real reciprocated, grown up relationship. It is really hard to find love when you look different - I've written a lot about that on my blog. So glad I found him, he's amazing.
    As for your story - it's interesting. Glad to find your blog. I've written a lot about the idea of skin hunger - sensory deprivation - for so long I lacked being touched. I guess you have experienced skn hunger.

    1. Hi Carly,
      No problem, the more the merrier :) People can be cruel if you look different-they can also be cruel if you are different in personality, being painfully shy and awkward has been my burden to carry. I'm looking forward to reading back through your blog :)
      Yes I think I have definitely experienced skin hunger-I can only hope I will experience someones affection and touch one day.
