last Friday: my housemate Jess and I watched a Japanese movie called ‘Norwegian Wood’ and ate vegan hotdogs. I want to go to Japan so much I’m teetering on buying a plane ticket there with my tax return money. cos you know, that’s totally responsible.
last Saturday: I worked, and had a night out with my girls. we got a little tipsy and a little high, put on our tallest shoes and went to watch miss trishtalkstotrish go-go dancing at devilles. a man who literally, LITERALLY looked like my dad also tried to grind on me. 😨
last Sunday: I slept off my hangover, and then styled my boyfriend’s band for their video shoot. I tried to make them look as mod as possible with the few clothes I had to work with…hopefully the pink vinyl jacket and checkered tie will do the trick.
this Monday: as posted, I cooked dinner for Tom and Jess from a proper recipe, and didn’t fuck it up. our cute next door neighbour also gave us a bottle of red to apologise for her loud party of the night before, WIN.
this Tuesday: I got a brand new tattoo…I caved and got instagram (which has been bad news for my addictive personality + cam-whoreish ways)…and we had Grill’d for the first time in ages- it was worth the wait ^.^
this Wednesday: I took care of my incapacitated boyfriend (man flu- the worst kind of flu) and got a bunch of free clothes from work. I also got a pair of stripy ‘circus pants’ from paper scissors, the horrid store I used to work at. *shudder* the pants are pretty cool though.
this Thursday: I went from wifi hotspot to wifi hotspot in the search for a new job, worked in between, and applied for a live reviewer position at a local music rag. 🙏 🙏
today: I have a bunch of dishes to wash before I take my lazy ass off to work, and instead I’m writing this.
FREE STUFF.

ELLIE COOKS, EPISODE 1.
normally I have two dishes, if I cook at all.
1.) Nachos with my ‘special’ guacamole.
2.) Ellie’s $5 pasta: penne, basic dolmio sauce, heaps of (cheddar) cheese.
needless to say, neither of these dishes come from a recipe, and neither of them require any sort of skill. in spite of spending most of my childhood making cakes and biscuits, I’ve been too lazy to cook anything decent for years. vegetarian cookbooks have been gathering dust in my bookshelf…but not for much longer.
I’ve decided to continue with my creative journey by embracing said cookbooks, and it seems a shame to waste the skills I know I have. so last night I made my housemate and boyfriend dinner, FROM A RECIPE. namely, short pasta with semi-green tomatoes. while it looks an awful lot like ‘Ellie’s $5 Pasta’, I can assure you it’s not. I made the sauce myself! I garnished with basil! and there’s no plastic cheddar in sight!
along with a glass of red, mum would be proud. next episode: spaghetti with zucchini. x
every time I go on tumblr I get so frustrated with all the smug, self-satisfied, moronic posturing everywhere. I got a tumblr because it seemed to be the most basic, straightforward way to blog- which is all I wanted. to blog. I don’t need to hear about how many followers you have, how many ‘asks’ you desperately need, or how fucking vegan/straightedge/grunge/whateverthefuck you are. chances are, you’re a pimply teenager hiding behind a computer screen with no idea how to interact in THE REAL WORLD. rather than begging strangers to ask you inane questions, or enticing them to follow you, why not go out and actually do something? stop subjecting me to your hormonal dickheadery and get a real, offline life. and if I lose followers because of this post, good. maybe I can go back to doing what I originally set out to do- to blog, for my friends and for myself. not for the anons or the asks or any of this fake, image-driven bullshit.
