Seriously Ruined: Ruby Rose X MAXIM

oh my Ruby Rose!

New Babes!

2011-09-17T14:20:00.001-07:00

Got this done during the week.
Tattoos for my two favourite people, Mum and Nana.

Some photos of the past few weeks!

2011-05-27T21:47:00.000-07:00

I haven't died, just took a short vacation from the blog world.

Here is some photos from the past few weeks...

Cupcakes with chocolate middles, nutella, coconut and chopped nuts topping. Yum!

Even Bunnies like cupcakes!

This little man passed away. He is very missed. R.I.P. my little Gunther.
(This is still a little hard for me to deal with even though it's been over 3 weeks, he'll pop into my head and tears come to my eyes. It's also very hard to watch his brother be alone.)

Silly pouty photo!

New hair, In the standard zombie colours. Green and Purple.
I get so many nice comments regarding my hair, everyone seems to love it and say something along the lines of it's different and it suits me.
Now if only I could get the guts to get a bright pink mohawk!

New Hair!
I think I must be a bit A.D.D., if i don't constantly change something whether it be my appearence or moving around stuff in my room etc I get frustrated and start feeling really bad.
So it was the hair that had to go this time around.

A Big kid

I admit I miss being a kid and getting grazed knees, having someone do everything for me and being able to make friends with someone just because they have peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

You see when I was young, all i wanted was to be older and now that I am older I wish I was younger... I miss simple things.
My boyfriend has a 6 year old daughter and i'm pretty jealous, she doesn't have to worry about looking good, getting dirty or getting food all over her face, actually I think she sets out to get as grotty as is possible. She doesn't have to worry about what she's having for dinner because it's prepared for her, she doesn't have to clean up because it's done for her, she can eat popcorn in bed and leave crumbs everywhere and she doesn't get in trouble for it.
She doesn't have to go to work, AND every other kid she sees is her friend.

Getting old just means getting serious and losing out on fun.

Silliness

No work today, so decided i'd take some silly pictures before going to the bank this morning!

I decided to have something realy healthy for lunch, Cos lettuce, tomato, red capsicum, cucumber and a boiled egg. Not something i'd normally eat but I know given my bad health that I should eat a lot healthier. Any ideas on healthy foods I could easily and quickly whip up for lunch?

How do you see your fellow bloggers?

As a female blogger (a rather new one at that) I'm still rather familar with blogs, I have so many added to my bookmarks that it's impossible to get through them all in one sitting! About 98% of those blogs are written by females, smart, intelligent, crafty, independent females.

Even though i've never met any of these bloggers I still feel inspired by them, the way they dress, the yummy things they bake, the interesting way in which they lead their lives. They certainly have an effect on me. If it wasn't for other female bloggers I wouldn't have started this blog.

It still sometimes feels a little odd to read a blog article and not comment or at least send an email to that person saying I am reading. It's a bit stalkerish, maybe not as stalkerish as facebook though. (What is the deal with people whom never spoke to me than, actually trying to poke me or friend me?) Does anyone else feel this way?

The big question is how do you feel about your fellow female bloggers? Do you feel like it's a bit of girls taking over the internet given that there is so many female bloggers? Are you at all jealous of your fellow bloggers or do you see them as inspirational, fun people you'd love to meet?

Are you a housewife in this modern world?

“I would be content being a housewife if I could find the kind of man who wouldn't treat me like one”

(Terry McMillan)

I'm not too sure how to write this without anyone reading it thinking i'm a whinger or a complete pushover. Maybe I am, truthfully sometimes I ask myself these things.

I've been with my boyfriend for almost two years, which is the longest relationship i've ever being in. He is a lovely man and would more than likely die for me (Yes, that dedicated!). We have pet names for each other, I call him Silver, he calls me Sweet Pea. We probably tell each other a million times a day that we love each other.
So what's my problem?
He doesn't do any cleaning, washing, helping me out at all! I believe in the past year that we've started living together he has made the bed once! Just once! He does the dishes maybe once a month, his idea of making dinner is just buying hungry jacks or mcdonalds or pizza.
I'm not asking him to do this stuff everyday, i'm quiet happy to do it the majority of the time but I work 3-4 days a week so a break would be a godsend once in a while. Even on the days i'm not at work, i'm still working. Washing his clothes, making him dinner, making him lunch for work, vacumming, doing his dishes, basically all in all keeping him happy while I struggle to look after myself.

The question i'm sending out is how does your boyfriend/girlfriend help you out? If they help you out at all? What do you think I should do in this situation?
I've even had a coworker suggest I use sex as a reward, if he physically makes dinner, or does something nice for me than I should reward him with sex. Do you as a female use your sexuality to get what you want?

Hi there,
First off I know i've abandoned this blog, But i'm back.
In the past few months my life has being getting sorted, I've had many things happening and writing a blog just hasn't being something i've wanted to do or even thought I should do (Just because my mind has being racing with so many crazy thoughts).

For those whom did read this towards the end of last year and was wondering if I was still alive, I am, and after many blood tests, doctors visits etc I was diagonosed with chronic fatigue syndrome. I'm currently on medication and it's helping. I call them my magic pills! I'm also in the process of getting my sinus and middle ear infections fixed, or at least sorted out. So it feels like life is sorting itself out and I'm trying to get back into good habits.

For new readers (hello, I hope their is a few of you!), I'm Amy, a 22 year old lady, learning the ropes of life. I enjoy most of all my pets, fashion, beauty products, make- up, reading other blogs, magazines, going to the beach (when the weather is fine), and trying to keep up with everything going on around me.
I've started this blog as a sort of diary/ journal/ scrapbook of my day to day life, so I hope you enjoy it, as much as I enjoy writing it!

Feeling a lot better about life? Sure am!

2010-10-30T12:52:00.000-07:00

I've started to feel a lot better about things in general lately. Sure, I still have the same insercurities, the same feelings, the same life but i'm improving.

And I'm going to the coast today, top down style!

I've being bad!

2010-09-03T14:20:00.001-07:00

I know, I know, I know... I never post!

Life's too hectic, too much washing, cleaning, making lunch, doing too much for someone else, somewhere in the process I lost myself. What is it that I like again? No idea.

I used to go to shows, I used to love music and know stupid little facts about bands I loved, bands I didn't love, but most of all I knew music. Now I feel like I have no idea. Who knew Jake Grigg of SWN and Shaun from the Matches had a new project called Maniac? I should of known that!

I used to have a love for drinking Smirnoff vodka and listening to music in the dark, I haven't done that in over a year and haven't even had a drink since March. Maybe thats something to be proud of, the not drinking but it was something that I enjoyed, something that became a part of me.

I used to dress up, like put actually put some form of effort into how i looked but because I barely go out anymore I don't bother. What's the point when your just going down the road?

I have just have no sense of who I am. Or who i'm meant to be.

Tegan, Marry me?

Stupid kids

2010-05-19T13:33:00.000-07:00

Last week we had 4 broken windows at work, 5 in the past month. 4 in a week is a little too much, especially when the insurance only covers a percentage so my boss was out to catch the culprits!

Her husband actually slept in the shop Friday, Saturday and Sunday night... Funny because I believe he is a 60 something year old man, if it was some awful big gang of men he was likely to get beat the shit out of. He set up a blow up mattress and blankets out the back and 3am Sunday morning heard the sound of window getting smashed so he raced out into the carpark, no shoes, just pants. Four 14 year old GIRLS were standing there with a big rock, one insisted she "didn't do it THIS TIME" (this time, what? so she did it last time?), one said "silly old man go put some shoes on", the bosses husband asked them why they were doing it their answer was they are angry.
Funny this is they didn't try to run, they sat at the bus stop across the road til the police came, mind you the police has already spoke to them twice that same night.

What are 14 year old girls doing out at 3am in the morning? wondering streets. I'd be a little worried if I was that young about getting bashed, raped, murdered, especially considering what goes on in this suburb.
Where are kids parents these days?

Saw 6!

2010-05-13T13:04:00.000-07:00

Am I the only person who thinks the Saw movies are unwatchable?

Last night the boyfriend and I decided we'd settle in, lay in bed and watch Saw 6... within the first 10 minutes I decided I could not keep watching and turned away and went to sleep. It's disturbing, so visual and as much as I love guts and gore I just can not get into it.
Am I the only one whom finds it utterly repulsive?

Sorry Blog, I've being ignoring you!

2010-05-10T13:26:00.000-07:00

I know i'm a hopeless blogger, I knew i'd be hopeless at it when I started this blog. A part of me thought it would help me stick to something, but i'm easily distracted and get bored far too easily.
I'm considering starting to plan out posts and do something a little different here, which will involve more pictures, more writing and me explaining things a bit more... cause I guess no one out there really knows much about me.

If you're a reader here's a little introduction...
I'm Amy, 21 years old (16th of November, remember folks, I expect cards/ gifts), living in Queensland Australia. I live down a street that floods when it rains, which results in a horrible mouldy, wet smell in my living space. Great, hey?
I get horrible sininitus and allergies so i'm always using nose sprays, taking painkillers and trying to keep on top of my horrible snotty nose. I'm also prone to migriaines, tension headaches from stress, i'm a stress head. I worry about the little things.
I have a pretty amazing boyfriend, we've being together almost a year (july 6th, once again, i want cards/ gifts!) and he has made me grow up a lot. His 8 years older than me and I guess that has a lot to do with it, you'd never guess he was almost 30 though, his a big kid!
My daily life usually consists of me getting up around 5:30am, doing computer stuffs, playing with my ratties, going to work, coming home, cleaning up somewhat, having dinner, showering and going to bed... pretty boring really!
I love writing and receiving mail (send me mail, PLEASE), music, reading, tickling my boyfriend, poking him up the nose/ear/bum... anything to make him laugh, playing with my 2 pet rats, looking at art/graff/ anything that someone has created, crafts are awesome (except i'm not crafty at all) and just existing in this world.

That is all!

2010-03-20T13:59:00.000-07:00

A Staffy!
Yesterday when I was walking home, this little black staffy ran out of a yard and followed me, she'd keep running in front of me and turning around to make sure I was still walking her way.
Everytime she'd go the opposite way she'd look back see me and run towards me. We reached my house and she just came in the yard, walked up the stairs and stood there, luckily she had a name and number on her collar. Her name was Bella (I wonder if it's a Twilight reference?)
Her number was called and her owner came to pick her up. When the owner was walking around the corner, I turned Bella's head and said "Is that your mum?" and she ran up to the lady and jumped all over her.
She really was a lovely, fun, happy dog, she kept giving me dog kisses!

The Ultimate girl crush!

2010-03-07T12:14:00.000-08:00

So I have the ultimate girl crush on this fantastic, talented, amazing woman.
Her name is Brody Dalle...

You may remember her as the singer of punk band The Distillers, well now she's in a just as amazing band called Spinnerette. I was lucky enough to see them play on Thursday night and i'm still on a high from it. They were great. Probably the best show i've ever seen.
So today i'm telling everyone about my undying love for Brody Dalle.

Her style has changed a lot over the last 10 years. From a really punk look she had when she was in The Distillers...

Through the dimise of The Distillers, her marriage to Tim Armstrong (she married while still in her teens) ending, to getting married again (this time to Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age), having a child and starting Spinnerette.

If you haven't heard anything but Spinnerette, please check them out. They are a really great band.

Ouch!

2010-02-21T12:32:00.001-08:00

My wisdom teeth are coming through and i'm in a bit of pain.
I wish it would just hurry up already and be done with.

One Teaspoon love...

I have a girl crush on Peaches Geldof...

2010-02-10T01:52:00.000-08:00

I think she's a great role model for younger girls (maybe not the drug scandel) but she isn't stick thin like a lot of other IT girls her age.
Plus she has some pretty unique tattoos!

I hate looking for somewhere to live...

2010-02-10T01:40:00.000-08:00

It's too hard.

So my boyfriend and I are looking for somewhere to live. He has to move out of the house he is living at now and so we're taking the plunge and moving in together. This isn't so bad because we spend so much time together now and I think we have a pretty good relationship. I get him, he gets me. (Even if I do get grumpy sometimes). And we love each other, all you need is love, right?

Neither of us have great jobs, at the moment my boyfriend is unemployed and I work 4 days a week so we can't afford anything to fanciful, all we really want is a 1 or 2 bedroom flat. A place where we can just go about our lives.

Anyone have any advice for me? What are essentials for someone whom is living out of home for the first time?

Newspaper Earrings

2010-02-03T13:21:00.000-08:00

How rad are these newspaper earrings I just discovered on Etsy?
I must have them!

Drew Barrymore is kind of cute!

2010-02-03T13:06:00.000-08:00

My boyfriend loves Drew Barrymore and I think it's starting to rub off onto me... She's rather cute.

Shopping list for Tuesday!

2010-02-01T12:04:00.000-08:00

I need to go shopping for...

Hair dye- I have blonde roots showing, it's not a good look.

Rat food- The boys are slowing running out of rat seed. I can't leave them starve.

Soy Milk- I love milk but I must be lactose intolerant because I can't drink cows milk without wanting to vomit. Soy milk tastes better anyway.

Dad's birthday gift- My dad's birthday is soon, very soon. I need to get him a gift I have no idea what though. What do you get your parents for their birthdays?

What it's like to be a porn star...

2010-01-29T19:52:00.000-08:00

Just started reading this...

"confessions of an aussie porn star, absolute mayhem".

I can't put it down.

Have you read it? Heard anything about Monica Mayhem? Maybe seen one of her adult films?

Katy Perry always looks gorgeous

2010-01-27T11:58:00.000-08:00

and i'm a little jealous!

and she is reportedly marrying this man...

Very lucky indeed.

Vintage Christian Dior sunglasses... Yes please!

2010-01-25T21:37:00.000-08:00

I WANT THESE!

Egg Head...

2010-01-25T00:32:00.000-08:00

I just hit my head on the an open cupboard door.
As in just turned around and walked into it, I now have a big bump on my forehead!

Happy Monday!

2010-01-24T22:16:00.000-08:00

I'm not the biggest fan of Mondays, going back to work after a nice weekend just isn't my idea of a good time.

I work in hospitality, yes, I serve idiots all day. As well as clean up after idiots all day. By the end of the day i'm tired, grumpy and just want to sleep.
So to put myself in a better mood i'm going to post some pictures of things I find cute, pretty, and just inspire me...

silliness!

BEFORE

AFTER

Isn't he just dandy?

I had an accident.

2010-01-15T11:20:00.000-08:00

I had a bit of an accident last week which involved my camera dropping in a bucket of water!

Now it won't work, won't turn on, the lense won't move. Stupid me!

What I wore...

2009-12-30T12:57:00.000-08:00

Well I kind of wore it yesterday, for a few hours.
I had intentions of going out to buy some food (Yes, mum didn't go grocery shopping again this week and that means no food in the cupboards and me starving) but I am sick and probably would of passed out or vomitted while out.
Doesn't matter too much, I don't feel like eating because my throat is in pain.

Dress- Sportsgirl, Sunglasses- Sportsgirl, Shoes- Rubi Shoes, Belt- stolen from my little sisters wardrobe.

This is my new helix piercing I got 2 weeks ago, I love how it looks and it's being healing really well. It's being far too long since I got a piercing. I believe the last was my medusa in March of this year. Thats a long time considering I was getting them every few months last year.

So mum put this together for me for Christmas. It's of my two little boys, Chandler and Gunther.
I actually got her to get some pictures from the VC Skate comp that Tiago took printed, she saw this picture and got it printed and got it framed. I love it, I love my boys!

Mum got me this blanket as well. Tiago always steals the doona and I have to fight him at night to get it back. This beats the doona, hands down.

Cute little guys.

Simmone made me the owl for my birthday and the other little guy for Christmas. I love everything she makes, it always so original and unusual. For more of her crafting check out thelittleorchard.etsy.com and yourorgangrinder.etsy.com

Other things I got for Christmas included

a shredded dress, kat von d style, LA Ink Series 4, Fox boardies from my lovely boyfriend.
cutlery set from Simmone and Andrew for when I move out.
chocolates.
money.
borders and myer/coles giftcards.
Precious Moments pencil case, robot keychain, Kings of Leon poster from my little sister.
stationery.
dream catcher, soap from boyfriends family.

Merry Christmas!

2009-12-29T11:33:00.000-08:00

I have returned after a short break for blogging, I just get a bit distracted. Too much to think about and half the time i'd just rather lay in bed and watch dvd's, cuddle and do sign language with the boy. It's our new inside joke, we use sign language to communicate although neither of us know sign language for real.

Speaking of Christmas did everyone have a good time? Does anyone have an unusual Christmas rituals?
I enjoyed Christmas this year, usually I don't enjoy it that much, it's just another day and usually I have a headache, broken toe or just end up annoyed with the family. Not so this year... It was wonderful. My wonderful boyfriend came in at midnight thursday after dropping his daughter back home and had Christmas day here with my family, my aunty, her wonderful kiddies and my grandma (whom by the way is a total cocoa pop). It's funny having a boyfriend around for birthdays, christmas, just those occassions where it's always just being family who celebrate with me. It's different and really nice. He gets along with my family and thinks my grandma is a hilarious. He always tells me she looks like part of the mafia because she never takes her sunglasses off and gets up everyone.
This year Christmas was the same as most years,woke up and opened gifts and then we had lunch at my house. Lots of food and talking. I'd bought my family some really cool stuff this year, I got my little sister a heap of cool things from peachypan.com, got my older sister some cool shoes from em and sprout and a little sad bread brooch, mum got some soap and the big bang theory on dvd (she loves sheldon), dad got some shirts and socks and I got the boyfriend Kings Way Graffiti book, a off ya tree gift voucher (he thinks his going to get his lip pierced) and a heap of little love heart chocolates. Pretty sure everyone loved what I got them, well at least I hope.
My family got me a heap of awesome stuff too, shall post pictures a little later. But I really do adore all the gifts I got.

Things I love...

2009-11-22T11:30:00.000-08:00

Right now

Sleeping- I've being feeling a little depressed lately and when i'm asleep I can just turn off all the bad thoughts.

Nearing Xmas time- It's nearly Christmas. I love Christmas, it's so exciting buying gifts for everyone and having them all wrapped up nicely under the Christmas Tree.
I've being sneaky and bought myself some awesome things as well.

Sainthood by Tegan and Sara- It's so good.

Leonard from The Big Bang Theory- His so cute and awkward.

What i'm reading-
I'm currently reading Peppermint mag. The only eco friendly magazine in australia.

What i'm watching-
Chocolat

LA INK Collection 2- I want more tattoos. I even had a dream that I was friends with Kat Von D and she tattooed a music note on my left hip bone.

Twilight- Only just watched Twilight the other day and absolutely loved it.

Indian taxi drivers and self serve check outs are going to hell...

2009-11-17T23:52:00.000-08:00

Today i've being ripped off.

I work to get ripped off.

I'm never catching a taxi again and self serve check outs can go have relations with themselves.

Mr and Mrs Potato Head

2009-11-17T14:12:00.000-08:00

My boyfriend brought me these for my 21st!

We're a little Toy Story obsessed, it's became our thing. We don't just say "i love you", it's "i love you to infinity and beyond"!

Maybe we're just kids that never grew up and we're just living out that childhood phase now, either way i love it. It's so much fun!

Things I love...

2009-11-06T22:39:00.000-08:00

Right now.

Pink (the singer, not the colour)- What's not to love? I could watch the dvd of her Australian performance over and over again. She covered "I touch myself" and it's amazing.

Fruit Mince Pies- Hooray for Christmas!

Border's Bookshop- I spent so long just browsing through books today and I found so many that i'd love to read.

Facebook- I'm a little addicted at the moment.

Thursday, Friday and Saturday... Please shoot me!

2009-11-06T22:22:00.000-08:00

I sit here so tired, actually tired doesn't even describe it. The last few days have being nothing but craziness, funniness and a little awesomeness.
Thursday afternoon the boyfriend came over after work and had decided we'd go to his sister's school play, sounded pretty fun. I've never being to a school play so I was rather excited, even decided i'd get a little trendy and wear a jumpsuit. Bad Idea.
Halfway between my house and the boyfriend's house the car broke down. Wouldn't start at all. RACQ was called and we waited, waited for what seemed like hours. In that time I really had to go to the toilet. Luckily or not so luckily, i'm still not so sure, the car had broken down beside a heap of bushy, grassy land. I've never being camping, pretty much because i've never wanted to have to pee anywhere but a toilet but I had to go really bad. I've now done the whole squating in a bush experience, not something I really want to do again anytime soon but it was different.
Once RACQ came and told us they couldn't fix the car, we than had to wait for a tow truck to come, we got towed to the boyfriend's house, than had his mum drive us all the way back to my house. Got home at around 10:30pm.
Work on Friday's is never good, everything has to be cleaned, I get annoyed, my boss just gets cranky because no one will pack her car for her.
It felt neverending. I'd purchased tickets to see he hilltop hoods months ago so that was a little release. I can't say i'm the biggest hip hop fan but Australia has some good hip hop artists. The hilltop hoods are probably the best in Australia at the moment. It was worth every cent, apart from the whole being short and not seeing much.
As of right now it's Saturday afternoon and i'm tired, nothing has being sorted out. I'm just waiting out the rest of the year.
A nap would be wonderful.
