Radio Silence.
This New Years, there are far more important things to me than the Internet.
Happy 2012, everyone. I hope you enjoy it as much as I’m going to!

Dear tomorrow,
I’m pretty excited about you, but we have a problem. In between now and you, there is a whole sleep. That sleep will be unaided by the fact that The Internet has royally aggravated me in the last hour. So if you could just hurry along and get here, that’d be great. Because I’d really like to go and meet some pugs now.
Sincerely, Me.

Charlotte Tiger Austin: I'm thin. Alright? →
charlottetigeraustin:
This is something that really winds me up. There’s no way I could go up to a fat person and say
‘My GOD you are huge! Aren’t you massive? Wow. Should you really be eating that? You are absolutely the size of a house. Mental’
So, why is it then, that people can say to me
‘Cor, aren’t you…
All of this is true. Especially the Burger King part. I miss our BK dates.

This is not an end of year post.
I wasn’t going to do the whole “goodbye 2011” thing. Like every other year, it’s had highs and lows. The lows have been horrible, for me and for some of the closest to me. The highs have been some that I’ll keep forever. This year, like every other year, I have met some incredible people. I have overcome, and grown, and accomplished. I have jumped, and I have landed.

All I've seen today
All over tumblr and twitter and the general internet, is girls complaining about themselves. Either they don’t have a man to tell they’re beautiful or gorgeous or any other amount of words, or their friends are less than encouraging, or they look in the mirror and feel sick.
Let me just say that I have never, ever adhered to how the magazines show a beautiful woman. I’ve never...

Out of retirement.
Lately, a lot of people have been asking me to put on shows or sort out tours. It’s pretty nuts that the second I turn away from music, everybody wants to ‘tempt me out of retirement’. The reality is that I would love to do those things. But I don’t have the finances to back me up right now, and I don’t have my ear to the ground music wise. I’d need a good...

Playlist.
A couple of weeks ago I made a playlist of 36 songs. We laid listening to these songs late into the evening. Barely talking, just taking it all in. And now I’m lying listening to the same 36 songs. You’re not here tonight, but it almost feels as if you are.
President Obama's message this morning on Iraq
Early this morning, the last of our troops left Iraq.
As we honor and reflect on the sacrifices that millions of men and women made for this war, I wanted to make sure you heard the news.
Bringing this war to a responsible end was a cause that sparked many Americans to get involved in the political process for the first time. Today’s outcome is a reminder that we all have a stake in our...

Sometimes, the Internet emphasizes that my generation may be the most aggressively inarticulate in modern history. Yesterday definitely reminded me how very weary I am of people who don’t express themselves effectively. I can’t stand sloppy language.
I want to say that I can’t fathom how ignorance could be so rampant when our generation alone has been exposed to the Internet—the...

Tumblr fame.
I don’t know how you guys with 1000’s of followers and notes on each post do it. I posted a link and it appears to have rocketed it’s way around tumblr, filling my dash with hundreds of little notes. It’s great that people are reading it because it’s important… But seriously… Do you get this for every post?! I’ll stick to my humble followers, thank...

I don’t make a habit of quoting Tom Cruise, but in Vanilla Sky his character says “without the bitter, baby, the sweet ain’t as sweet”, and that stuck with me.
Or, as my own mantra goes: sunshine and rain, pumpkin… sunshine and rain.
