WHY DOES MY IMMUNE SYSTEM HATE ME?

If you read the title of this post and guessed that I’m sick, congratulations, because that is correct. Yes, I’m sick, yet again. I had literally only been better for a week when I woke up this morning with the exact same feeling in my throat that I had two weeks ago. F****ck mah lyf. I’m guessing it has something to do with the fact that I literally worked for six days straight the last time I was sick, and then went back to work three days later when I was ‘better’. Work is pretty much a breeding ground for viruses right now, so many staff members seem to be sick and so many customers I have to serve seem to be sick. I have a feeling my body never really recovered, so now, here I am again, back at square one. Despite my dad’s pressure to go to work, cause… “there’s nothing wrong with you!” I decided to call in sick. I’m not going to keep this sick cycle going on and on, FUCK THAT. I don’t want the virus to break down my immune system and attack my heart again. NO, step the fuck back virus, and GTFO of my body! Hmm, ok, maybe I’m officially weird now, and not in the cooooooool hipster sense.

I present to you some candid shots of yours truly, don’t I just look charming? With my bizarre expressions. I’m not very good at this whole looking pretty thing, am I? Most bloggers seem to be pros at that! What is their secret?!

Just in case you happen to care, or are interested, even just a tiny bit, here I was, waiting at the station for a train to take my boyfriend and I to the citaaay. CITAY OF COMPTON, WE KEEP IT ROOCKIIIIIN, WE KEEP IT ROOOOCKIN, YO, YO, NOW LET ME WELCOME EEEVERYBODY TO THE WILD WILD WEST! Ok, I’m not actually from Compton, California, I just got a little carried away there. Forgive me? Well, the last part made a little bit of sense, I do live on the west side of Melbourne. WEST SAAAIDE REPRAZAAANT BITCHEZ. It appears being sick has made me a lil’ loopay.

Once we reached our destination, I decided to go and get my eyebrows done. This is only like…hmm, the fifth time I’ve had them done professionally? I’m going to keep up with it this time. My boyfriend doesn’t really understand this part of life and when I told him what I was going to do, he kind of just looked at me like ??????????????????????????????? as shown in the above image.

Afterwards I met up with Wendy and Sarah, they are both lovely girls, and we went SHAWPPING! Well, as much shopping as we could do on a typical Melbournian Sunday after 4pm. I actually bought something. A metallic pink bag, I haven’t bought anything IRL for aaaaaaaages man! I do all my shopping online. The image above is of Sarah’s hair. It looks excellent! I didn’t get a photo with either of them! Next time, next time, come back to Melbourne soon Wendy!

We had to part ways, so I met up with my BF again and we ate Indian food, ah, so tasty.

That was my outfit, that dress is so easy to wear, so comfortable and very practical. As for the UNIF Hellbounds, my oh my, do I love those shoes! I have four pairs of them now and I could literally wear them every single day. I don’t think I’ve ever loved a shoe this much before! I feel like I can’t wear shoes without a 3 inch platform now. Besides flatforms, 3 inch platform + 4 inch heel flatforms are just ankle death for me. Oh, and flats of course. Yes, yes, I recently ordered a pair of flats. I have a car now, and sadly, I can’t drive with platform shoes on, it’s dangerous :(

To end this post, here is a sketch I found from 2009. I should sketch/draw more often, it’s enjoyable sometimes. Well guys, I’m just going to go drown in a pile of my own mucus now. Don’t visualise that, it may make you vomit. Soz.

    okay i just reeeealllly want your coat. FOUR pairs of hellbounds? damn girl that’s like a month and a half worth in rent! I didn’t even know they had four colors. lets see, so you have black, pink, red? and ??? you lucky duck. i love your rants/raves – so hilarious. p.s. how’s that nearly-empty bottle of coke treating ya? ;)

    • http://darkvice.net/ Magnet

      Yes, I have to say.. I really freaking like that coat. I searched high and low for the ‘perfect’ leopard print coat AND after I bought it I had it altered, and that cost a lot of money. Good thing I initially bought it on sale!! In the end, the total cost of the finished product was quite expensive but it was worth it, because it’s now exactly what I want. I altered it in Photoshop to a hot pink colour, mah gawd, it looked siiiick!!

      As for the hellbounds I have black, hot pink, leopard print and mermaid pink xD I know, so much money!! T_T it’s okay though, I really don’t have as many shoes as a lot of bloggers.. and I’m thinking of selling my damsels with the pink spikes anyway. They are awesome but they just don’t work with my feet =/

    Aww, hope you’re feeling better soon :( It’s so horrible when you get really run down and can’t rest it off!! Great photos though, still love that dress. Oh you should definitely draw more often, I find it really relaxing, haha! xxxx

  • Larissa

    Oh no! I hope you get better soon, dude. I hate being sick. Seriously. I feel gross, I look gross, and I hate putting on anything stylish because I feel like it makes me look worse.. Gah, being sick is AWFUL. And holy shit WTF Sarah’s hair is fucking ethereal.

    • http://darkvice.net/ Magnet

      Thanks! and ugh… tell me about it. I feel SO gross right now. My face has random red patches on it… and it’s so oily and I feel all sweaty and gross :( Plus I just heard that there is some potentially deadly flu strain going around in Melbourne at the moment, fuck the world, I’m just going to isolate myself inside my room.

  • Angelina Ballerina

    Ugh. NOOOOOOooOOOo double sickness sounds like a nightmare. Srsly. God I hate being sick. That’s probably not helping the situation at all…FEEL BETTER. I send my well-wishes from afar! Otherwise, you look pretty damn awesome. Your leopard print coat is only feeding my newfound obsession with leopard print. I swear, that and tie-dye will be the death of me. AND holy jeez your sketch is awesome. Okay, I’m done rambling!

  • Mary Lieu

    Oh no you’re sick again? I really hope you get better soon and don’t recatch the virus from work again when you go back :( ((
    Anyway it sounds like you had a really good time – judging from your outfit and your friend’s amazing hair, you girls are stylin’! And you know what, whenever I see you wear amazing shoes (which is all the time since all you seem to own is amazing shoes) you make me want to stop wearing flats and reach out for the heels. I’m a bit nervous about that though, I don’t want to trip! xx

    Aww you poor thing, that sounds awful :( Same thing happened to me last winter when I was working in a shop and kept getting a damn cold! Hope you feel better soon and I love your dress x Sushi

  • Shogo X

    Oh, you poor dear! I hate to hear that you’re sick again. Drink lots of fluids and get some rest! Don’t work yourself to death, Darling. And hey, your candid shots are quite cute, much prettier than mine! Whenever I have a candid picture taken, I’m eating something. Or my mouth is open as wide as possible. Or a combination of the two, which is gross. Oh, your sketches are incredible! I’m super jealous of people that can make awesome sketches. You SHOULD do it more often.
    May the force be with you.
