take your ego for a ride.

happy new year blogspot!

of course, it's not quite the new year where i am, people have been letting of fireworks since i got here anyway.

i finally arrived in holland,
it's cold here, but there's no snow yet.
there was some in seoul however.

i'm really tired, and i think i'm going to need a nap before i attempt to stay up until midnight for new years.

i'm tired because including flying i didn't sleep for over 50 hours,
the bed in korea was hard.
but i did manage to occupy myself on the flight across europe by writing down russian place names that i found funny:
vladivostock
irkustk
novosibirsk
yekaterinburg
nizhy novgorod
szczecin
bydgoszcz
they're funny because z isn't a vowel.

and i spent four hours looking out my window at clouds, and i had a really big speal about the textures and how they reminded my of zueus' beard and women being tortured and how there where hills and valleys and sheer cliffs and massive fisures and layers that floated aroud completely disjointed from one another, but that's all i can remember from it, which is lucky really because that would have taken a lot of typing and filled my whole page but i took some photos, i would have taken more but the window was dirty and it made it hard to capture.
also people look at me like i'm crazy as it is.

and between today and yesterday i've gotten a new bike, a jacket, house keys, a bike lock, a sim card, i've signed in to leiden and i've set up my room, which i will take photos of tomorrow, and i got one free mickey mouse glove. i'll also make a list of the names of the fireworks we got for tonight becuase they are hillarious!

i also already have a mass of lego men with funny moustaches/facial hair.

ok, well i'm off to enjoy festivities and i'll post some photos soon.

love Ana

Cast Your Mind Back To The Day

Merry Christmas Blogspot,

i'm exsausted,
as per usual.

i don't know what it is about christmas, but i always want to sleep.
i guess it doesn't help that it's BOILING today,
i am so keen for winter.
on which note,
4 days.
Holland here I come.

and my party was bitchin,
people should dress like me more often.
especially Joel.
(just for those not in the know, i had a farewell party where a whole bunch of my friends dressed like me, see photo)
i know, you can't even tell which one's me!

and it was josies birthday the next day,
which was fun, and our song was just AMAZING!
and josie got a multitude of wonderful presents, including a Canon EOS 1000D, oh yes, the exact same as mine!
chrimbo was cool too,
my gifts were well recived ecetera.
i probably wont blog until i'm in Holland,
so bye for now.

Love Ana

p.s: It's my one year aniversary on Blogspot!
good stuff.

It's hard to reconcile.

Seasons Greetings Blogspot,

christmas is three days away but it somehow doesn't really feel awfully jolly round here,
there's my leaving obviously,
but then there's also that Jim Philpot (a really lovely boy from my school) was in a horrific car accident, Britany murphy died today!? and some new zealand comedian has raped a four year odl while drunk,
A 4 YEAR OLD!

I'm sure by wednsday I'll feel better about life, it's my farewell party, and i'll be well distracted on thursday, it Josephines birthday, and there will be much joy by friday, it's christmas, (which will coincedentally mark the one year aniversary of my starting this blog) but right now, on Monday, the world seems to be in the gutter.

i'm of to trial pack my bag, which just arrived in the mail,
i hope other peoples worlds are feeling more cheerful.

love Ana.

Sophisticated points of view

well hello there!

i guess for the first time ever i'm finally fufilling a blog promiss,
here are my recent clothing aqusitions.




ok, so the current tottal stands at 13, all of these plus some black opaques which i couldn't be fucked taking a photo of.
but they go roughly in the order in which i got them.

the first 6 are from grey lynn festival,
the 7th is off trade me,
the 8th & 11th are from this is not a love shop
the 9th and the 12th are from my mothers old label Doris de Pont
and the 10th is my dads from the 80's.

yeah, its only MILDLY rediculous.
anyway i'm sure your all real jealous and shit
Love Ana.

Jasmine & Josie.

In the past ten days i have gotten something like 15 new items of clothing,
and my mum is taking me shopping this week.

but i love it.
I'll post photo's tomorrow or something.

love Ana
