It's really cold and rainy right now...

BEST WEATHER IN THE HISTORY OF LIIIFFFEEEEEEEE
This is why I want to live in London one day-This weather (but even colder and rainer) 24/7!
I am sitting inside on my bed eating brownies whilst Tumblring and reading The French Lieutenant's Woman. Yes, that is how I am spending my first Saturday of freedom. We had a cooked breakfast and Dad bought me Edmunds and Greer coffee.....perfect way to start the day.
This picture is so relevant to my life right now:

Even though this quote is from Gossip Girl, I love it. It's so true. "Destiny is for losers. It's just a stupid excuse to wait for things to happen instead of making them happen"- Blair Waldorf. I've decided that I'm going to ride my bike to the newsagents, buy a huge roll of butcher's paper, cover one of the walls of my room in it, stick a permanent marker to it, and whenever I hear quotes like these I'm going to write them on it, as well as other thoughts and photographs. Also, in regards to Gossip Girl, when I first heard that Blake Lively was the new face of their new bag, MAJOR respect was lost for Chanel in my head! WHY HER. Just because she's famous and in a crappy but popular TV show! However after seeing the photos, I've completely changed my opinion. She definitely has the style and sophistication to be an ambassador for the brand! Also also also, since we're (well I'm) talking about Gossip Girl, I want to take this opportunity to express my hatred for Taylor Momsen. FGNJKSDNFJKSDNFJKSDNFJOSDJGIOSJG. She is trying SO hard to achieve the 'I don't care about life/what people think about me' that it's just kind of backfiring. I wonder how long she's going to keep it up, seeing as though her music isn't any better then her acting...

THEN

NOW

Aaaannd now for some photos Phoebe took:

1. Chicken Tikka Roll. One of the best things I have EVER eaten. And it was only $5.50

 2. Chilling by Jedda's apartment's pool. Don't really know what's going on with my legs in this photo.

3. Cindy and my bags. Mine is Topshop and hers is Anna Sui. We're so cool. P.S. My red nail polish is Chanel and is courtesy of THE AMAZING CAROL. It's actually far better quality than all my other nail-polishes-it only chipped after 3 days! You're better paying more for higher quality nail-polish. 

 The best coffee in the history of life- The Workshop (it's opposite the QVB). You can also kind of see my purple tips in this photo! Woot.

Letter to the future Chloe

To my dearest (mature) Chloe,
I really hope that you are genuinely happy right now.Whether you're 26, 33 or 67, I hope that you are proud of who you are and that you are everything you hoped to be (cheesy but you can't stop me from writing cheesy things because this was written a long time ago). This is your 17 year old self and I understand that life can be hard, but just keep ''swimming" (an intertextual reference from Finding Nemo. Hope you got that. If you didn't, re-watch that movie tonight). CHLOE. We're the same person so I know that you might have been distracted and have drifted away from this letter...but please come back so I can tell you some cheesy things. Make a difference. Make a change. Leave your mark in the world while you can. Every minute counts so don't dwell on regrets and mistakes- move forward and don't waste a second because life is too short to be discontent. BE HAPPY. Wear the Muse tour t-shirt from the concert you went to with Phoebe when you were 16, all those years ago. Dance crazily to Phoenix's music that you were once obsessed with and go out to the coffee shop at Central and see if the coffee couple are still there. Are you still close with your 17 year old self's best friends? If you haven't talked to them in years contact them. Go back home and spend time with Mum and Dad-make up for those moments when you chose your friends over them.
My outlook on life is so positive right now and I hope it remains that way until I die...I hope reading these words makes you reconsider where you stand right now.
Love, Chloe :D
P.S. (Because I love my P.S's) If you haven't been to Glastonbury Festival yet, after finishing reading this letter, go onto the website and book a ticket. NOW.

I heart amazing friends.

Today was so so so so so so so above average. I have definitely placed it in my mental 'awesome days' file.
Despite school being called off for year 12 today, some of the legal study girls went on an optional excursion to a conference on Justice and the Law. The only way to describe it was aaammaazziinnngg. We had the opportunity for hear Nicholas Cowdery QC speak when it was his last day as the Director of Public Prosecutions! He is such an amazing speaker and hearing him, Greg James QC and an other female lawyer (can't remember her name....oops!) speak about their roles in the legal system pretty much confirmed for me that that's the career path I want to take. In the morning tea break my friends and I were chatting with Greg James QC, and he was telling us he has even defended a monster. He has two sons who went to Trinity and are now both solicitors.....and he told us that Head of the River is just a competition between Riverview and Joeys over who can sing hymns the loudest.

After the excursion I met up with some of the girls in my group for an intense karaoke session and it turns out that they had planned a surprise birthday party. Ate so much food that when I got home vomit came into my mouth at the dinner table. Thought you would all appreciate that detail.
Sang.So.Many.Songs. My voice is now husky and I sound like a man. True story.

I'm going to write the advice in the picture below into my '101 Dreams' book from Kikki-K and into my diary. Love it. Positive energy FTW.
