Sigh...

Sigh...

Last night, in the middle of my Bikram Yoga class (because apparently I'm part-hippy), a memory floated up from my subconscious. Which was useful as it distracted me from throwing up in my mouth in the middle of a crappy Yoga pose.

Anyways, that memory is from when I was around 11 years old. I'd moved from Auckland city to a backwater town in the middle of Taranaki. I did not fit in there and I still don't. They think I'm a snobby bitch who's too clever and sarcastic for her own good. And I'm cool with that because I am, especially when compared with them. Contemptuous much? Yes. But what did you expect? The following goes some way to explaining why I feel this way about that town.

So, I was 11 years old and on the cusp of becoming the person I am today. We had been asked to list all the continents, or something like that. I forget. It was something to do with continents, so meh.  One of the girls sitting next to me saw the list and showed it to a whole bunch of other girls. Soon, there were peals of laughter. Why? Because I had apparently made up an hilarious new word.

That word was Antarctica.

Idiots.

No doubt the Wellington groupies will already have their game plan in place. I look forward to hearing their stories! Remember girls, pics or STFU.

Breaking out a good pick up line is an art. When you come across a good one, like a really good one, then it's pretty spectacular.

Some of the ones in this Mad Men montage are kinda corny. But if they were delivered that smoothly and confidently, then yeah. I'd bite.

It takes a special kind of narcissism to celebrate ignorance by comparing one’s self to genius.

I’m 15.

I run a successful fashion blog (almost 10,000 strong!).

I’m coming out with an online magazine in August with some pretty nice names featured in it. 

I’ve made over $400 on the internet so far.

I’ve been fucked over, lied to, and shot down.

I never gave up.

And I’ll keep going until you see a WeTheUrban store in your mall! I wanted to share this with you all to show that ANYONE can do anything if they put there mind to it. Entrepreneurs are the new rockstars! The Youth Is Starting To Change.

I don’t like the way daycares smell.  And sometimes, when people have children, their houses end up smelling like a daycare.  And sometimes those people end up smelling like a daycare.  Like the people that just left our conference room.  They smelled like a daycare.  And now our conference room smells like a daycare.  It smells like gross little children.  Sticky messes, play-doh, stupid plastic-y toy things, diapers, glue and construction paper.  I don’t like it.  Just like I don’t like children.

 Yes, yes, yes, yes. A thousand times, yes.

Today is one of those "never having kids" days...
