‘Her eyes were made of sequins, they lined up just like penguins to flap their wings and kiss her feet… I heard she went to find God in an Indian sub-continet. It’s mad she had to go so far’- Buffseeds ‘Sparkle Me’

‘These clever kids are killing me. For one, they ain’t that clever. Number two- it really sucks when you get stuck here with these trevors. This was supposed to be a party.

I guess ‘be successful’ is kind of vague… I suppose I would class ‘successful’ as being happy and content with where I am and what I’m doing… something I enjoy but also something I can make a living out of. I want to be productive. Although, to me, being successful isn’t all about career; I’d also like to have a successful home-life… be a mother, wife, have a house and a car…the whole shebang really. Not that I want to jinx any of it. But being HAPPY with it is top of the list. So I guess this should really be ‘be happy’ but whatever…
