a lion in love...with LA.

the city where sunshine

and moonshine collide

the glittering lights

and golden rays

fill your soul with light

and your head with dreams.

a lion in......

i don't like to feel like i am living. i like to feel like i am alive.

LA lady

so here i am in the city of angels. well santa monica to be exact. it's cold. the weather is like i hardly left melbourne at all. bring on the california sunshine i say. but despite the weather, it is truly wonderful. it's so strange to be here because none of anything feels real. i have watched this way of life so much on television and in movies that to be here feels as though you are living in a tv program. it's such a bazaar feeling. cruising down the street on my way from the airport i looked out the window at what feels like a giant set and at people who appear to be paid extras. but i know in my heart of hearts that this is not the case. for me however, i have always left the line the between reality and fantasy a little blurry. it's a childlike quality i never quite grew out of. probably because i never quite grew up. and probably never will. therefore LA will suit me just fine.....

i don't know where i'm going,
i'm on my way,
taking my time and i don't know where.'

the end of the guilt.

This is to all those people who feel guilty about spending too much on that one special item. Be it shoes, a dress, a hat or in my case a $300 skirt. I have a new system to ease the guilt for purchases such as these , because let's face it, at times you just have to splurge!
From now on, everytime I recieve a compliment from someone about a splurge item, I deduct one "compliment dollar" from the amount it cost me. For example my dream skirt cost $300 and so far I think I recieved about 8 compliments (I have only worn it a couple of times) therefore in my mind it has only cost $292. Yes I have a long way to go to make up the difference but it all helps! And if I feel as though the compliment is from someone of importance or whose opinion I respect, I deduct $5. One of my compliments was in fact from a fashion designer so the total cost of my skirt to date is actually down to $288!
$1 or in some cases $5 is a small price to pay for all the self esteem your "compliment dollars" will buy you. Therefore your your guilt debt will be paid in no time!
