Hello there!
I feel like I haven't posted in so long. I am sorry :(
I hope to write a few more posts soon.
Well I have been thinking, since we have spent so much time together (just skimming the surface), I thought it would be nice for you to know a little about me, in list form! How exciting!?
- First of all, I am a music junkie. I know most people say "music is my life" *said in mocking popular girl voice* BUT SERIOUSLY, music has been a flopping big part of my life!
For starters, both of my parents are music teachers. My beautiful mum is a phenomenal singer, occasionally plays flute and piano (quite well), is currently learning cello, and dabbles at a few other instruments (including guitar, tenor horn and a few others). And my Father... Well... Dad is a music mastermind. Not even kidding! He has his AMus in piano and studied music therapy (and teaching) at university. If you name a song, generally (if he knows it) he can play it. Has an intense knowledge of music theory (is currently designing a program to teach children beginning music theory) and can also sing. He is incredibly smart, and not just at music.
So, our house is a constant buzz of music and sound. There is hardly ever a time when there isn't music, or at least some sound filling the house. During school I was in several (6) bands (classical, concert, jazz, brass bands and choir) and did private lessons and music theory and was music captain... TWICE.
In my down time, I listen to music. On the bus, I listen to music. When I walk/jog anywhere, I listen to music. When I have friend's over, we listen to, and share music. Oh! and I love finding new music! [so if you know any good music, please send it my way!]. And now, I am sining for/with Wafia (and we have a few gigs coming up, which I will post about. So keep an eye out!). Which is crazy and I never thought would happen to me! Such an honour. But as you can see, "music is my life". So yup.
- You may have seen, that photography is also a pretty big thing for me.
You can ch-ch-check out ma stuff here!
Over the past little while, looking back, I can see how much i've grown. And boy! Does that excite me! I just wanted to give a quick shout out to my main man, Flickr. But honestly, Flickr has done so much for me, for my work (and the standard I hold it at - "Flickr standard"), for my confidence in my work, and for the people I have connected ("met") with. So many beautiful people from all over the world. Like a community of creatives!
I'm excited to see what photography holds for me in the future.
- I have recently discovered that brownies are the way to my heart... Boys. Keep that in mind ;)
But really. The moment I discovered how to make 'brownie in a mug' was a joyous, yet dark moment.
Even still, I do love me a good brownie!
- I have a deep love for swings! Yep, swings.
I hate that going on swings as an adult is looked down on. I understand that me being in a playground may look funny, and all you observers suspect i'm some teen wanting to cause a ruckus. But nope. I just want to swing! I mean, c'mon! How glorious is the feeling of being on a swing!? (If you can't remember, go try it again!)
When I move into my own home, one of the first things i'm doing is putting in a swing. I don't care if I have to make a frame myself, or climb a tree to put it there. It WILL happen! Future husband, if you're reading this, you have been warned!
- Like most girls, I fantasise about things - my wedding, what it's going to be like when i'm married etc. But unlike most girls, I fantasise about the set up - how things will look, like what bunting, type of fairy lights, trees/plants and furnishings are going to be at these moments in my life.
I want wooden pallet everything! Or at least distressed/worn wood things - walls, tables etc. I imagine most things in my future home will be found/refurbished objects... AH MAN! Makes me so excited thinking about it!
- Straight up, I am super clutsy/clumsy. (Check this photo for evidence).
- I watch waaaay too much useless day-time tv.
- I am a sucker for kids movies. If you look at our dvd shelves, you will see that the majority of dvd's that we have are children's movies. Or Star Wars (yeah, ima Star Wars fan... deal with it!). But also, that could be because I am a wuss when it comes to watching TV and movies, especially at the cinema.
- I always look at things and think "I could make that", but usually, the truth is - that never happens.
- I am kind of scared of fish. They are yuck! nuffsaid.
- I am notorious for being late to events. Family trait, i'm afraid.
- Writing letters is ma thang! Love it. Love it so much :) I have several pen pals, and love to keep in touch with them strictly via snail mail (even though I do have them on Facebook also). But i would rather find thing out in a letter, then online. More personal.
Also, *sneaky insight* - I will be creating a photo to do with that, soon!
- I don't always have dreams, but when I do, they usually feel super real (some more then others) and they really get me thinking about things and life... Okay. That all sounded better in my head. haha
- I have recently worked out what my coping mechanisms are, thanks to uni. Rather interesting to know.
- I take pleasure in the 'small things'. I even wrote a blog post about it!
- Sometimes when talking to my Flickr friends (which happens quite a lot), I feel like i'm in a different world. They are all so far away, sometimes it doesn't feel real. But sometimes I feel like i'm the one far away - far away from "reality" and the world around me. But i'm not that bad, really.
- If you haven't noticed, my favourite flower is the Daisy! I think it is so happy and pretty. In a way, it is simple, yet is so bright.
For my 18th birthday, my Dad bought me a daisy plant. It is one of my favourite possessions (apart from my camera) and brings me so much joy - especially when it blooms.
- My current location of choice would have to be Canada! I long to go there.
I plan to go on study exchange there, or at least visit for some time. (and go to The US to meet some of my Flickr friends! Which is nuts and excited me beyond belief). I think it would be all so magical! Also, I am desperate to see the Aurora, or Northern Lights. I hear it is one of the most spectacular natural things you can ever see. Eeeeeeeeeee! *breaths*
... Gee! I cannot wait for the day I see it!
- I LOVE hearing stories.
... I am becoming a social worker, for goodness sake!
I think that stories are where it's at. Stories have the power to change, the power to unite and the power to gather. Which makes me happy!
I am always up for story time :)
And finally -
I am super excited for all the things to come!
Well, that's all for now. I hope that didn't bore you, and hopefully it all makes sense.
If there is anything you want to ask me, want to know, want to tell me about, or just want a chat, then you can email me at - genevieve.althea@yahoo.com.au
You are all wonderful and make me happy! Thank you, again!

What I am listening to: Bon Iver. His whole Bon Iver album. Perfect for late nights and the early hours of the morning ♥
