PEN PALLING ROCKS!

Check out these cool stickers my pen pal, Jonae sent me. She's from Korea and all the letters she's been sending me have had cool little presents like these in them! I think She goes to heaps of effort to make her letters look cool and nice so pressures on me to return the favor! Not much happened today. Marle, my best friend picked me up and we went to K-mart to buy plants for this vegie patch that she wanted to build. I am SO bad at anything home related. So that means cooking, cleaning and gardening so i was a bit nervous that she wanted my help. But i went anyway just because you know... it's something to do and i liked that she invited me out of the blue. After that, i just went to work and then came home. My mum was so weird when i got home. She was raving on and on like a lunatic about how amazing Uniqlo was and about all the stuff that she bought there today. Like, i have not seen her this excited about anything, ever. It was weird. She bought one of their iconic down jackets, a down vest, a pair of grey pants and this really nice beige skivvy. She's IN LOVE with that store so much that she's even encouraging me to shop there! It's weird behavior. I guess maybe they are that great.

Mum in the 70's. I love her top and i think she looks really pretty here.

What do you reckon of my baby carrot tie-up job?

Tomorrow, i plan on maybe visiting Uniqlo after seeing my psych. When i get home i really have to finish off this super important short story that i'm entering for this prize, as well as do more writing in general because i've been very sick lately so everything gets held up and I HATE IT. Life doesn't ever stop and when you get sick, you have so much catching up to do that you just get angry because of the sheer amount of work. I don't feel like i'll win or even get short listed for this prize. But you just gotta do things, you know? You got to keep entering things and submitting things and eventually your time will come. I'm really bad at being optimistic so i really need to give myself a kick up the butt every now and then to get motivated. I think that's one of my worst habits. Being pessimistic or overly emotional about things to the point where i can't get up to do anything. It sucks big time.
