Hello blixa

[bright lights, big city]

to continue our previous conversation, no you don't need facebook. i was just wondering. i'm not the biggest fan of it either, but it's just that EVERYONE here seems to use it 24/7.

[blixa]

mum: "just because everyone's doing it doesn't mean you have to do it."

that is my mum's advice about everything.

[bright lights, big city]

sounds EXACTLY like mine.

yet, here i am growing a mustache and using the fbook.

[blixa]

growing a moustache? please please please show us all. i don't know if you realise this but i'm a huge fan of facial hair.

That's exactly unlike mine. The more different I am from other people, the more she hates me, haha.

my mum is like that too. she's a double edged sword. she complains that i'm different from girls my age and then turns around and compliments me about being unique and an individual who believes in the right things. i think they want us to sit somewhere in the middle. that's a really hard place to sit.

[bright lights, big city]

oh i know, you mention it probably once a week haha. the thing where we're different, though, is my picture-creating apparatus. i basically rely on friends to take the pics, and most of the time they are deadbeats. i will definitely get a shot this pervert-stache. it's only been about 10 days so far, but i'll have you know that i am winning the contest so far amongst my buddies.

regrettable, i know, especially since i can't any pics on the ol' facebook that date back to when i had a sweet beard in college.

[blixa]

well, i'm currently doing my bfa honours in photography so i am all about the photographs, my friend.

is it a bit of this:


because you know i'm going to indecently assault you if it is a bit of that hahaha.

[bright lights, big city]

wtf! there's no picture, haha. this is what i'm modelling it after, i call it The Bullock, after Tim Olyphant's character from Deadwood. it's definitely not there yet sadly, and i'm also trying to get some rockin' sideburns to go along with it. I'm definitely getting the ladies with this!

[blixa]

fixed the picture, mark. go for a proper mo. just let it do what it wants. after it's grown a bit start shaping it. you'll get the awesome girls with the mo.

Don't know what is so good about moustaches. I always found them horrible.

they're not for everyone. i personally find facial hair very sexy. stubble is also good.

[bright lights, big city]

ahh yes, The Elliott. possibly the most legendary 'stache. yeeeeah mine won't ever make that.

[blixa]

i finished hanging for the exhibition. one down and another one to go. i'm going to take a shower and snuggle into bed.

[bright lights, big city]

you in Melbourne? i looked it up and it says you're 16 hours ahead of me. good god.

[blixa]

i live in sydney at the moment.

[bright lights, big city]

i started watching Sherlock now back to back with Luther. new Sherlock is actually pretty good for taking place in modern London. he's played by the most British person I've ever heard of, Benedict Cumberbatch. can't make that shit up.

[blixa]

benedict cumberbatch. that name doesn't even sound real. i can't seem to get into moder day sherlock. they play it on a commercial channel and that is just the weirdest thing because they rarely play any british shows. it's usually the abc that does that.

i cried at yesterday's luther episode. AND THEY PLAYED SIA THE WHOLE TIME.

but again, idris elba is an incredible actor. he's brilliant in this.

[bright lights, big city]

i really have to admit that everything i've seen him in, he's pretty awesome. even in the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency.

[blixa]

it's so hot right now and i'm sitting here with only my undies on and it's perfect because we're talking about idris elba.

[blixa]

i miss my red hair :/
i'm having red hair withdrawal.

[bright lights, big city]

haha then maybe you should dye it, if you're tweakin'

i think it's starting to finally get cold by me. i wore shorts yesterday in mid-november, couldn't believe it. but then at night it went down to freezing. i love the winter; i get to sleep with 5 blankets.

[blixa]

i like having dark hair. people take you super seriously with dark hair hahaha. i wish i was kidding.

i love winter. i want it to come back. i was super lazy today because it was so hot. the window in mr room directly faces the sun's rays so i get the worst heat in my room. plus it's the hot australian sun. it's not like any sun you have ever known. it is brutal.

[bright lights, big city]

i could only imagine haha. i complain when it's about 80 degrees and humid, so i probably wouldn't be able to handle australian summers. i can't wait till we get our first snow.

you're right about the hair thing. red-heads i think are seen as being wilder. a friend of mine also has this theory that red-heads are easier than normal women... so yeah take it or leave it. personally, nothing really tops a good old brunette.
