A long hard and rocky road out of hell

I was a little bored this afternoon, so in true Adora Batbrat style whilst I went grocery shopping with my Mum, I decided I'd make some rocky road or 'choc roc' like we used to do in Year 7 Science when we studied diffusion!

I didn't use a recipe or anything, not like you really need to anyway...I just re-did what we did when I was 13 :P

And now for the fridge!

Annnd a few hours later, yum yum!

Oh and I found a few pics I like on my phone today I thought I'd share

Wearing my new falls

New top hat!

Sittin' on my Nan's veranda up at Coffs

Cool var in the WOW carpark

That's all for tonight, I'm off to watch Bleach and eat rocky road :D

I smell sex and kan-deh-eh

So my good friend Todd convinced me to go to Utopia next month, a rave held annually in Sydney. I'm so excited! I've never been to a rave before, and although I'm amongst the worst dancers in the world, I still love to dance!

So in anticipation for the event, I've been researching raving culture and cyber/perky goth culture as well I guess and I'm currently in love with kandi!

I spent 40 bucks on eBay the other night on Pony beads :P I can't wait to start making my own personalised kandi bracelets so I can give kandi kisses to all the pretty lovelies at the rave, eeep!

Kandi Kiss! <3

Oh and I'm freaking out about what to wear! It's so hard to try and look different in a sub culture where people enjoy all the same things...ergh, I guess that's the idea of a sub culture, but I wanna get noticed, dammit!

I was thinking something along these lines (I adore this image!) but with my own green fairy touch to it, and obviously no boob or midriff exposure..ergh, yuck. I need wings. You know, to be a real fairy.

I have my new cyber falls but I don't know if I want to wear them. I've never had a chance to before, so I wouldn't be used to them and each time I try them on I'm overwhelmed by how heavy they are. I'm pretty sure I won't have the stamina for that kind of head pain all night into the wee hours of the morning.

And I have goggles kinda like these...Maybe should wear them..

I'm thinking maybe deathhawk, steampunk look with green and gold accessories...Ergh, so hard to decide. Oh speaking of deathhawk, I dunno if I've ever posted a picture of me with my deathhawk up on here, and if I have, it would have been ages ago. So, here are a few for you viewing pleasure (or..whatever :P)

These two were taken by Rosemary during some Humans V Zombies activity

Australia Day 2010

Melbourne Trip, October 2010

This baby was dying when I took these photos as I'd spent several hours in the rain.

As you can see I'm not the world's best deathhawk stylist, and as my hair grew it got harder to get up (:P). I'm gonna have another go tonight for some event I'm going to with a new hair 'membrane gas' thing I bought yesterday at Price Attack. Wish me luck!

Oh and my good friend Rosemary is turning 21 very soon and her birthday party is Circus themed! I really wanna get this tailcoat from Gallery Serpentine so I can go as a Ringmaster or whatever, but I'm strapped for cash at present as I've been sick and off work and I'm trying to save for both the rave I just mentioned, my camera, and both my trip and my big move to Melbourne *head explodes*. Anyway, so the photos from that event should be exciting!

Anyway, that's about all I got for today lovelies.

Bye bye!

My first teen house party...

...and I'm not a teen. Yes, it's true ladies and gents, I was a bit of a good girl during my youth and so I never attended any of these wild, out of control house parties with alcohol to spare and even more willing sexual partners to be had. However, I was fortunate(?) enough to attend my friend Michael's band, Sludgemander's EP launch on the weekend just gone and it gave me a real insight into just what I was NOT missing out on during my teens :P

Yes everyone was shit-faced, in the air hung an unmistakable hint of weed and there were people making out practically on top of me. I felt like an old granny, sitting on my little chair with my other 20-something year old friends. Except, they were generally laughing, whilst I tended to be scowling disapprovingly. My bad mood may also have been related to the fact that I had been sick the previous 4 days and was still on meds for that and the fact that I'm trying to cut down on my drinking, so I was unbelievably sober.

Anyway, I still did manage to have a reasonably good time with my friends and Gracie brought her new camera along to photograph the band and so we got a few cool shots of ourselves I thought I might share. It was also a bit of a milestone because I wasn't wearing any eye make up! Oh and nevermind my septum horseshoe missing one of the balls...Yeah I need to get a new one...
