Top Ten... Reasons I Am Not Going to Call/Text/MSN/Myspace/Poke/Initiate a Conversation With HIM

OK so a few weeks ago, I went away camping with my family and several other families over the Melbourne Cup long weekend, regular blog readers will know what I'm getting at here. There was a guy. I know, alarm bells ringing already, right?
He was so fantastic, we flirted all weekend long (you can read the old post archives for all the tragic details) and had a thoroughly great time. Anyway, you may remember that THAT little affair ended swiftly on the day we got back to real-life civilisation and I came crashing down from my floaty little cloud of love with a thud. He was now going out with another girl we went away with. I know, right? At the time, I was devastated. He totally used me as, like, an outlet for his pent-up flirting or something. Then, as time wore on, I realised that he was just a guy, just like many that i have known before him and many I will know after him. He is flirty, fun and non-commital, like most guys his age. So onwards I moved.
Today, I received a teary phonecall from The Girl, informing me that they had broken up. I have NO IDEA why she called me, we aren't super close buds or anything. In fact, I only met her on the camping weekend and have had very limited contact since then.
I soon after received a message on myspace from The Guy, wanting to "catch up soon".
I know that if I see him, all those strong feelings from the camping trip will return and I will spend another six weeks tearing myself apart over every little thing we both do or say.
So today, I would like to, nay I NEED to write a list of reasons NOT to catch up with him...
1) He will make me fall in love with him even harder this time
2) It's disrespectful to The Girl, even though we are not actual friends
3) I will look into those gorgeous, blue, twinkling, playful eyes of his and may actually faint
4) I shouldn't torture myself that way again. He can't be the guy I need right now, as much as I want him to be
5) I am very young. Like, 10 days away from turning 16. I don't NEED this kind of CRAP in my life yet
6) I am having a fabulous time with my friends and family just enjoying the summer holidays. I don't NEED him around
7) I can DO everything by myself. I am a totally independant, strong girl. I don't need a guy at all.
8) ...
9) ...
10) ...

Oh my goodness I can only think of seven reasons not to call him! This is a disaster! OK, before my resolve crumbles completely and I call him first thing tomorrow morning, I need my fabulous, loyal blog readers to help me out here by coming up with two or three more reasons NOT to call this guy who I know MUST be bad for me, otherwise he would not have made me as HURT and ANGRY and CONFUSED as he did the first time around.
PLEASE HELP ME BLOGGERS. I love you all. I NEED my loyal readers to rally around me and help me in my time of need.

Love in desperation, bubblygirl (about to lose her bubbly-ness if someone doesn't act soon). xoxo

Top Ten... People And Places For Style Inspiration

I LOVE fashion and just clothes themselves, but attending a school with a strict uniform policy means I can only exercise my style on weekends and holidays. And, as we are now embarking on the fabulous journey that is the summer holidays, what better time to make a fashion-focussed list? So here you have it: My top ten people and places for style inspiration!

1. whowhatweardaily- even the supposedly-stylish Nicole Richie (personally, I'm not much of a fan) turns to this website for tips!

2. Jessica Alba- the newly pregnant starlet always looks gorgeous and, yes, sexy, without ever dressing inappropriately. She is the anti-Britney, when it comes to the style stakes.

3. The Satorialist blog- gorgeous photography, and a colour palette that rarely strays from grey, navy and black- perfect for a Melbourne girl, what with our looooooooong winters and penchant for dark clothing and warm coats.

4. Megan Gale- S-T-U-N-N-I-N-G. I wish I had the guts to dye my hair as dark as hers. She just carries it so well. Similarly to Jessica, Megan is always well-dressed and always sexy. Plus, I love David Jones (of which she is the face) and Andy Lee (her boyfriend, co-host of "Hamish & Andy" on Fox fm and 2day fm).

5. Melbourne's Chapel Street and anywhere in St.Kilda

6. My own wardrobe- where else can you pull together pieces from every corner of the world (well, every shopping centre within a 100km radius, at least) and create a look that is totally you.

7. Magazines- I'm talking about your everyday Girlfriends and Dollys of the world, not your Vogues and Harpers (my part-time wage doesn't allow me to splurge on Marc Jacobs and Chloe)! I particularly love the spreads featuring everyday girls in trends to suit their bods.

8. Mandy Moore- she's as tall as me and not a super-skinny minnie (shock horror! A Hollywood starlet who is a regular old size 10-12?!), so I really do take a lot from her casual personal style- well-fitting jeans, long tops, gorgeous casual dresses. I can't wait for her label, Mblem, to ship to Australia!

9. Helsinki fashion blogs. Just google that phrase and you will be confronted by a plethora of pages full of inspiration of the slightly quirky kind. For those days when you feel a little wacky.

10. People-watching. Whether it's in the fashionable city centre or watching the people walk by as I work, I am constantly inspired by those who know and show how to dress for their bodies and do it well.

I hope you have been inspired by my little list today to get out there and have fun with fashion. After all, they are just clothes and you're gonna take 'em all off at the end of the day anyway! Have fun and dress well!

Love bubblygirl. xoxo

P.S. For those who commented on my Chick Flick post, I thank you! It's so rewarding to see that little comment box say "6 comments" or "9 comments". It really is one of life's little thrills. For those who commented that Josh from Clueless was hot but the Cher-Josh relationship was more than a little gross, I TOTALLY agree. Ewww. Ewww. Ewww. I saw an episode of new Channel 10 drama Cane last night and the main character was adopted by this old guy when he was young and then went and MARRIED the guy's DAUGHTER. Grrrrrooooooooosssssssss. But in regards to Josh's hotness in Clueless, is everyone forgetting about Elton? He may have been horrible to Ty and put the moves on Cher when they weren't wanted there, but the guy was MINT. In case you need reminding, he looked like this (he's the one in the top right-hand corner):

PHWOARRR, right?!

Unfortunately, he now looks like this:

I know. Shocking transformation. And not in a good way.

Anyway, my point is, Elton was seriously hot in Clueless and was seriously underrated as a hottie in that movie. Wow, this P.S. has almost turned into another post. Sorry about that! Thanks for sticking with it though, I know my posts tend to be quite long and probably get boring. So, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Mwah!

Chick Flicks

Seeing as an ad for Clueless just came on the TV, I have decided that today's list shall be a list of my favourite chick flicks! So here they are, in no particular order:

1. The Notebook
2. A Walk to Remember
3. Clueless
4. Never Been Kissed
5. Thelma and Louise
6. Pretty Woman
7. Bridget Jones's Diary
8. Sleepless in Seattle
9. Marie Antoniette
10. Breakfast at Tiffany's
11. Beaches
12. Steel Magnolias
13. Ghost
14. The American President
15. Muriel's Wedding
16. My Best Friend's Wedding
17. Jerry Maguire
18. Meet Joe Black
19. Stepmom
20. Titanic
21. Notting Hill
22. Erin Brockovich
23. Runaway Bride
24. Lost in Translation
25. The Horse Whisperer
So strictly they aren't all chick flicks, but I love all of these movies. Numbers 1, 2, 11, 12, 13, 19, 20 and 25 are all tear-jerkers, so have a box of kleenex handy while viewing!
Are any of these your fave chick flicks? What else would you add to the list?

New Look, New Feel, New Me!

Hello and welcome to the new and improved blog from bubblygirl!
Over my two-week blogging hiatus, I realised I miss this open forum for my opinions, I miss sharing details of my life and the world with you readers and I especially miss the gorgeous comments you all leave for me!

So, I'm back! I have decided to make the blog all about lists. Anyone who has been on my myspace page knows that I looove writing lists, so I thought I would stick with what I know and make lists out of anything.

From "Top Ten's" and "To-Do" lists to "Favourite Things" and "Celebrity" lists from magazines, I will endeavour to bring you imaginative and (hopefully) interesting or humourous lists daily.

This is a new blogging path for me on which we are embarking together, so any feedback would be greatly appreciated! This isn't to say that I will only ever post lists in the future, of couse I will occasionally make my big, righteous posts, but for now this is the direction I am taking.

First List: Things I'm Looking Forward To
1. Christmas! Just 13 days away!
2. My birthday! Just 19 days away!
3. Summer holiday- off to the Murray for a week-long break filled with wakeboarding, water-skiing and relaxation! Can NOT wait!
4. My work Christmas party- if only to feel the tension between the manager and 2IC. Controversy!
5. Long summer days lounging around with friends in the pool- heaven!

OK, so that was a fairly ordinary list but I am certain the creative juices will start flowing back to me soon! Have a great day!
