Not Goodbye, Just See You Later

First can I just apologise for my inconsistent blogging of late. I could rattle off a list of excuses as long as my hair (quite long!), i.e. I had exams, I've had extra work shifts, I've been doing lots of socialising with my gorgeous friends, and they are all true, but the truth of the matter is, I have made a discovery.

I have discovered myspace. Yes, I know, I'm about four years behind everyone else but you know what they say, better late than ever. It is so addictive, I have been spending ever spare moment working on my page, sending out friend requests, etc., etc. I now have eight friends! Yay! Friend me here!

In other news, look at my counter; I've broken the hundred hits mark!! Three cheers for me! Three cheers for you for sticking with me!

So, the purpose of today's post is to bid you a fond farewell. I'm not saying I will never come back to Stuck in Suburbia occassionally, but for now, between myspace, work, school commitments, friends, family, Christmas and everything else, I just don't have the time to make my posts as strong as I would like them to be.

I thought I'd put up a list of my favourite websites on here, just as a little parting gift to you. These are sites I hit up almost on a daily basis. Hopefully you know about most of these, but maybe there are a few that will lead you to a potential new favourite! So here they are, in no particular order:

1. Go Fug Yourself- Daily criticisms and fabulous bitchy comments on celebrities and their red carpet outfits from the hilarious gofug girls Jessica and Heather. Our very own Australian Idol finalists Nat and Matt even got a mention this week, check that out here.
2. Girl With A Satchel- A gorgeous, articulate and intelligent blog about the glossy magazines of the world, written by Girlfriend's Erica Bartle. Her "Sunday Soapbox" pieces are a personal favourite. She is a fantastic writer with strong yet polite opinions and perfect grammar (yeah!) and seemingly a very well-rounded young woman. A role model for us all.
3. Newspaper Sites- I don't often get a chance to read the actual, paper version of any newspaper, so everyday I go online to read the Herald Sun, The Age, The Daily Telegraph and the Sydney Morning Herald. We need to know about the world around us, from big events down to the sport section!
4. ebay- I adore ebay! I have bought my iPod, watches, bags, shoes, clothes, books, jewellery... anything and everything! Get into it, kids, you don't even need a credit card; you can link up your bank account or key card account or even use Paypal (they explain it all on the site, it's so easy to use!).
5. Youtube- funny vids. 'Nuff said.
6. Beauty Editor- I discovered this site only a few days ago and I am working my way through the archives in the "How To..." section, trying to soak up as many beauty hints and tips as I can. From "How To..." get great legs, to "How To..." wear false lashes, this site has EVERYTHING beauty.
7. The Shebang- Technically, I don't visit this site everyday, but I do get the podcast from iTunes, so you can get it here, as well as seeing pics and sending off emails to the show.
8. myspace- weeeee! I love myspace! It is soooo addictive! Get into it!
9. Song Meanings- I go to this site everytime I'm singing along to a song and can't for the life of me figure out what the singer is going on about. It also has song lyrics.
10. Hamish and Andy- See number 7.
11. Tickle Tests- I don't visit this site regularly, but when I do, I end up spending a looooong time taking various personality tests, such as "What Breed of Dog Are You?" and "Are You a Party Girl?", the multiple choice tests are such fun.

So enjoy, kids. I'll see you back here soon, but until then I'll keep popping up with comments on the blogs of Frangipani Princess and Girl Next Door. I'll leave you with this quote: "Happy are those who dream dreams and are ready to pay the price to make them come true"- Leon J. Suenes. Enjoy life and make the most of every opportunity and have fun being Stuck in Suburbia!

Love and Best Wishes, Bubblygirl xoxo
