just a short introduction 2.0

If you haven't noticed, I've deleted the 2 most recent posts. Mainly because they were both stupid and worthless =D So now a real post. On January 1st it was the 2 year anniversary of this blog. It's had many different faces, it started out as Cupcakes & Mustangs and then early last year it was Eclectic Geekery, and now the more vague and elusive title of The Importance Of Getting Lost. I don't know if I'm the only one that changes her blog title (and URL) so often, (It will probably change even more in the future) Does anyone else change theirs?

My first post was an introduction, it is pretty much what I'm like now, but with a couple of changes (like age =P) I've decided to re-introduce myself to all my new followers who probably haven't gone back in the achieve that far =D

Howdy, I'm Melissa. I'm 23 and live in Western Australia. I still live at home with my parents, but that's because it's too expensive to move out, especially if I don't have anyone to share with because I'm sad and only have online friends =D I drive a Honda Jazz. He's purple and named Stanley (<-- he even has his own blog label) I used to dress like an Emo, but I've never been overly Emo. I actually think I'm more Emo now, even though I no longer dress Emo =D I'm a GEEK. 138% Geek. Mostly film/tv and music geek, but it's more a mixture of everything. I work at Blockbuster, have done for almost 2 years. I'm the girl you need if you need to know what "that movie was called staring that guy who was in that other movie with that other guy" is. I usually get it, even if I haven't seen the movie. I don't know how I hold all this information about movies and tv without my brain exploding, but I do. I don't get addicted to things, but I do become obsessed. Most recent obsessions include, Billy Talent (band), Tim Roth (actor), The Sims 3 and so on.... If you go back over my blogs you can usually figure out who I'm obsessed with for that week.

My Favourite Actor is Karl Urban, hence the fact he has his own label too. I've met him. He was awesome and smelt very nice =D

My favourite bands are: Muse, Him, Billy Talent, The Used, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, The Rasmus, 30 Seconds to Mars.... the list goes on and one. I suggest (if you're interested) check out my Last.FM, because it's pretty much running 24/7.

I could go on for days about the stuff I love, but one thing that everyone knows about me, is I have a short attention span. So about now, I'm starting to get bored of writing. So I'm going to post some photos =D

I drive a long way in a year

My car just passed 20000km. in just over a year.

And We're Back!

Back from Perth, it was fun and relatively uneventful.
Stanley did well, he likes driving fast =D

I bought:

• 2 pairs of converses
• moleskine 2009 diary
• umbrella academy: dallas vol 1
• watchman complete collection
• batman belt
• lots of iron-on patches
• get backers manga
• goth juice
  

and thats about it =D, really didn't do that much shopping. It was hot and crowded.
I enjoyed driving in Perth, it's fun! I did heaps of driving, only got lost ONCE and that was on our way home. Didn't like spending 20 minutes looking for a carpark at Garden City.
Glad I'm home, probably will never live in Perth. Don't really like it there much =(

Dot Points & Ducks =(

My blogging has become slightly lapsed i think. Not much happening in the world of princess geek, well nothing that I can be bothered blogging about. The last couple of days have bee really stormy, looks of Lightning etc. It's finally starting to get cooler again (finally! I hate heat, and not being able to use my computer during storms)

Heres some dot points of what happened this last week.

• run over a duck in my car (and got very sad that I killed a duck and pretty much cried myself to sleep )= )
• it's turtle season, so they lowered the speed limit along Golf Links Road from 80 to 50... I wanted to see why, and as I'm driving along the road I had to stop 3 times for turtles crossing the road to lay there eggs (pretty cool, except for the poor one that got runned over, I hope the person that did it feels bad... if not they need to go to hell... I felt bad for killing the duck, and it was either the duck or me!)
• i forgot to do the wallpaper for this week... thats because it was stormy on monday!

I have to go to work soon, so thats it for today... maybe more posts later...

Feeling BLAH!

The Rasmus via last.fm

I have to go to work in an hour, but I don't want too. I just feel so BLAH! not even In The Shadows by The Rasmus seems to pull me out of this blah mood. It's a collection of a couple of things. PMS, the weather, the fact my environment (my room) looks like a bombsite, and I feel like i'm just not contributing to society enough... (don't ask... it's just how I feel) I tried to go shopping, but it depressed me even more, I'm not eating, because it makes me depressed and I'm not sleeping because I lay awake worrying about strange things that are out of my control or I can't do anything about because it's midnight. But even with all that, I'm yet to have a breakdown. I cried last night, but that was because the movie I was watching was sad. I'm just hoping the breakdown doesn't come tonight while I'm at work. =D

In other unemotional news, I bought Stanley carseat covers, they're only cheap ones, but they have green and blue stars on them.

... and I haven't heard from "Hater" yet, but to tell you the truth I'm over it. I feel sorry for R!CHB!TCH, and I will continue being her friend, but it's getting annoying deleting and blocking comments on my sets about it. Polyvore is about to be about FUN!!

anyway, going to get ready for work now! Bye-ee

Rain and Facebook!

I have friends from Perth coming down today, and you can so tell... because it started raining at midnight last night. It always rains when there is someone going down, or you plan something! BAH!

I'm on facebook, well technically I've been on facebook for awhile, but I've actually started figuring out how to use it. Before it was just a place, where I could have a list of my old highschool friends, but now I'm actually using it. Nobody hurt me, but I like "new facebook"! At this current moment, I'm uploading photos of Stanley (my car).

If you have facebook and want to add me, there is a link in the sidebar under "FIND ME HERE" which (if I've coded correctly) will take you there!

Yay! Sneeze. Shun!

Plus, you'll be happy to know, my room is now, relatively clean! =D I need to vacume again. And put some more posters up. But overall it's clean... cleaner than what it was a couple of days ago!

I'm still patiently waiting for my computer. I know it could take awhile. I'm just excited that it's happening! Finally. My current computer is almost 6 years old! =O I'm ashamed of myself! I'm an IT geek and I'm using a 6 year old computer!!!! (Shun!)

Anyhoo, have to go and put petrol in my car and pick my sister up from school!

Nullaki

havn't really geeked stanley out yet. except for the heartagram decals on the back windows, I'm not really sure about putting stuff on the dash board (fine it's huge) but it's kinda has lots of tiny indents in it and if bluetrack gets in them (which it already has) it's a bitch to get off again. So on friday it was stanleys 1 week "birthday" and well he needs a bath, I might wash him this afternoon!
Dad and I went out to Nullaki yesterday (which is out near denmark) to visit dad's american friends. they're pretty awesome. they live in this awesome house with and awesome view, and they have peacocks... OMG they're so beautiful I love peacocks. The people are from San Francisco, and they have really american accents which I love. it was so cool listening to them tell stories about when they were at College, and how dirty LA is... haha
anyway time for lunch!
might blog later!
