If I had a million dollars…

Since Mr. KRudd won’t stimulate me, I am just going to show you how I would spent the money – if I was gonna get any. Imaginary shopping is a favorite pass time of mine, I often browse online shopping sites, carefully choosing items, selecting the right size, figuring out the shipping charges….and then closing the window. Seeing as my bank balance is not far off being a single digit I cannot afford to be shopping online but it’s still fun.

So, let’s spend $900!

** Dr Martens – Calista Pump $190 – UK8.

I have seen these in person at a shoe store in West End but they only had one tiny size left. I have a long-held love affair of Dr Martens – In high school I lived in a pair of Dr Marten sandals, they weighed almost 2kg each but they were amazingly comfortable and gave me fantastic calf muscles. I wore them so much they got juicy and I eventually had to dice them – in the interest of public health and safety. I want to wear more heels and I know these ones would be sturdy as, and stupidly comfortable and I love the style. I am a fan of the chunky heel and the black/white would just go with everything. WANT!

** Sportsgirl – A bunch of stuff – $150.

There is so much cool stuff in store at the moment. Lots of slouchy junk and a bunch of greys/blacks which is my preferred palette, very tops.

** Urban Originals – Bag – $60

Magic Escapes – Black Swallows- Reduced to $60! I want a new handbag and this one is super cute and black and brown so it can’t clash with anything. It is a good size so it will hold all my shit which is something I value in a handbag.

** Where The Wild Things Are tattoo – approx $150

I saw a picture of a girl with this picture of Max tattooed on her collarbone and I have just been obsessing over it ever since. It was just the perfect tattoo. I have loved Where The Wild Things Are for ages, it’s a fantastic book and Maurice Sendak’s illustrations just make the book what it is. There is lots of renewed hype about it lately because of the movie that is coming out soon but it would be one of the 3 books that I would get a tattoo inspired by (the others: “The Lost Thing” by Shaun Tan and “48 Shades of Brown” by Nick Earls).  AS much as I’d love a tattoo on my collarbone, I have little doubt that The Olds would kick me in the throat if I came home with one, so the placement might require a little more pondering, but it’s definately my next piece. I love children’s literature so what better way to celebrate that than with a picture on me forevs?

** 30 Rock – Season 2 – $25 (JB Hi Fi)

I have the first season and need the second season or my life may not continue.

** The L Word Seasons 1 -3 $154 Set The L Word Season 4 $30 The L Word Season 5 $55

All lesbian, all of the time. I’ve not seen the fifth season so it’s most important that I see it immediately, but I’d also like the other seasons even though I’ve seen them because when is having Kate Moennig on tap ever a bad thing??

** Dinner/Drinks – $80

While wearing all my new clothes and new bag and stuff, I could take Miss Jones to dinner and/or drinks before we go home and have an L Word marathon. Woooo!

I think if I actually had the money though, I probably couldn’t bring myself to spend it like this. Having lacked income for a couple months now I imagine it would be spent on bills and attempting to repay D’Olds in some small way for all the nice things they have done and not buying $200 shoes – but it’s fun to pretend!! Maybe once I start work I can buy $200 without being wracked by guilt over such unnecessary purchases.

On the work front, things are going well. I had an interview for a job that I was consequently offered, but it was not someplace I would like to work. It was actually a lot like the place in Japan – desperate for a teacher, disorganised, under resourced and had just had a mass staff walk-out so I decided to let that opportunity slide and keep interviewing. I have another interview Monday morning, another interview that isn’t booked yet for the place I really want to work and I’ve applied for a few more places too. We’ll see!
