the future.

i've been thinking about moving out a lot lately. mostly about what i have to do in preparation for when i do move out. this includes:
~ buying new furniture and re-doing my room (new wardrobe, new bed & sheets etc, duchess/dressing table)
~ start saving so i have some extra cash when i move out
~ buy my camera and all the other things i'm saving for beforehand, because i won't be able to save much if i'm living out of home.

i was talking to my mother, and she made it clear to me that i will be living in this house until i move out. i had expected that as a family we would be moving soon, but then i realised that was counter-productive. then when i moved out my mother would have to move again, to get a smaller place.
so i have begun preparing. i am going to start by saving for my camera and furniture simultaneously, mainly because i can't decide which i need/want more.  i will be getting a bit of cash for my birthday which should help with my saving, (as long as i don't spend too much of it on shopping and my party). i'm also slowly getting rid of all the useless crap i have floating throughout my room. this not only includes old clothing and shoes etc that i no longer want, but also schooling stuff, and childhood memorabilia that i really must work up the courage to give away, or if i can't - pack it into some boxes and store it away.
i'm so incredibly happy after christmas, i have everything i need to be happy and continue living my life the way i want to. i have my doc martens (which i feel so comfortable in, and they're fantastic for all the hiking i end up doing at parties etc), my new gorgeous studded handbag (which can fit everything in it not to mention how in love i am with it), and i have new underwear and bras which i desperately needed.
this year will be a new beginning for me, i am going to focus more on myself and less on destroying myself. i want to focus on my art, my health and a healthy way of losing weight, saving and getting back in touch with myself.

i'm far too excited.

 

i need more money!

gshjojfdjk so much to buy and i hate it.
so most weeks, unless i pick up extra shifts (which is rare) i earn $100 per week. i've recently realised this is not enough money to live off. i put away $50 p/wk for my laptop that i'm saving for. this will continue for the better part of this year. then each week i have to put money away for my credit, i go to a lot of parties so i spend a lot of money on alcohol, weed and cigarettes, and i always buy unnecessary things as well as bad food such as mcdonald's every time i go out. this week i am completely broke because last week i spent all my money while drunk.

once i have enough for my laptop (and mum is putting a few hundred in as a christmas present) i need to save for a camera and then a car. i think i might ask for a camera as a birthday present in february next year though. i also need a new ipod and really want a classic, and i want a new phone, mine is a piece of shit.

i just have to work on not spending my money on pointless shit :(
