Playing the ukulele is almost as fun as doing this other thing



Ignore my facial expression. Guys, bicentennial park is dangerous. It was like a war out there, mozzies vs. Aussies. And the Aussies were outnumbered, exhausted and some of the soldiers were fighting on an empty stomach and insufficient hours of sleep (i.e. me). I'm not even kidding when I say my whole left leg is swollen red from mosquito bites, and I'm pretty sure I contracted malaria or something because my arms are tingling....or maybe thats the result of spending an hour resizing, uploading and tagging 150 photos for Facebook last night. I'd prefer to say I got malaria, though. Its like bruising your shin from doing something lame, like ...falling in the toilet, but telling people a wild rhino headbutted your leg.



Wearing:
Striped blue and white "man" shirt: Salvos ($3).
Tiered lace skirt: Some random store ($20).
Tan boots that failed me and broke, leaving me running around yelling 'HAS ANYONE SEEN MY SOLE???': Dotti ages ago ($20).
Tan and navy bag: Salvos, ($5)
Bird necklace: Forever21 ($???)
UKULELELELELELELE!: $70



In other news, we got kicked out of karaoke because the others were drinking and being silly tits. Which sucked, I hadn't gone to karaoke in so long and I was really getting into the groove of yelling lyrics to rap songs and the Backstreet Boys. OH GUYS PS, these photos were taken by my good frond Shirley with my camera. Check her out.





Lately I haven't been doing any homework. I bought my ukulele, which is probably the worst decision I have ever made in my entire life up to this point, because now I have so many avenues of procrastination to wander down, it's frightening. I keep telling myself that I'll do this and I'll do that as soon as I finish doing THAT. But it never happens, and I end up doing THAT for hours and hours.



Anyway, say hi to my ukulele! I only brang it to the BBQ so my musical genius of a friend Timothy could tune it for me (BY EAR TOO, HOW AMAZING IS HE?), and it ended up being the plaything of the day. Half the photos stemming from that day had my ukulele in them. I love you ukulele. Now I need a name for it, any suggestions?
