FLOWERPOWER

LUV

'Luv' is not the same as 'love'. And I don't say that because I'm a word snob (although I do prefer sticking to the "right" spelling in most cases) but because it implies something different. Something less permanent, intense or meaningful. It's often a stepping stone to the 'real thing' but using the word 'love' in a relationship is "a big step" so perhaps 'luv', as an in-between, is a good thing. 

HYSTERIA

hɪˈstɪərɪə/

1. exaggerated or uncontrollable emotion or excitement.

UH HUH THAT'S RIGHT ... SHIT

Facebook is becoming less and less about personal expression and more and more about the convenience of online connection. Statuses used to be fun, commenting lighthearted and your 'friends' were actually your friends. Now I log on to check upcoming events (that I probably won't attend), forgotten birthdays and admin related notifications (group work, group work and more group work). If I want to "express" myself it's censored according to what a potential employer might think or how all my non-friend friends might misinterpret my sarcasm. I wonder if it's even possible for a social media platform (that includes your name and face) to be without unwanted peeping, prying and stalking.

Also, I'd like to learn French. When I went to Paris (I wonder how Arnaud / 'Arnu' is doing...), Marin was better at grasping the language than I was. But I managed to perfect 'oui', 'merde' and counting up to 6. At least it's a start.   

Current procrastination (besides paint): watching Melissa A. Fabello YouTube videos. I'm not big into YouTube channels let alone people babbling on about their personal perspectives to an imaginary audience [although this is obviously ironic and hypocritical] but Melissa is well articulated and effortlessly debunks media myths.

Brand Challenge has officially begun. Oh, and I'm studying at Vega this year. (google it, they've recently relaunched their website)

WHY DO I ALWAYS LET MYSELF FALL...

... in love? 

Here is a selection of teenage Rebecca's paint collection (as previously promised). They make me giggle. It is funny how I haven't changed much. Right now I should be doing "my homework". 

FRUITY

Sometimes there are times when I get annoyed. And it is an overwhelming emotion. But luckily it's not all the time.
