"Screws fall out all the time, the world is an imperfect place"

I guess I've been really busy lately with planning for my holiday and trying to get some sort of organisation into all the chaos that is our Europe trip. I feel like there is a little more mapped out now then two days ago but I still feel like everything is up in the air.
All I want to do is crawl into bed with my blanket, my pillows and The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles and Ferris Buellers Day Off. I just don't have the time though. I really, really, really wish that I had a moment to slow down. It all moves so fast these days.

I've been realising lately how much I despise fame and celebrity. At any particular level. It makes me feel incredulously uncomfortable. The way that people can't be successful in any entertainment art without having their lives thrown about for people to judge and comment upon as though it were there personal lives that were the body of work on display.
It doesn't even matter these days what you do though. There are kids everywhere committing suicide because of what people did to them on Myspace, what groups of nasty little cunts put up about them on youtube. It's so fucking unfair. No one is privy to it either. We are all existing in this modern age where technology is so advanced that the moment you say or do something you wish you could take back, before you get a chance to feel deeply regretful or even just embarrassed about it - almost everyone you know could've heard about it already.
I can't imagine how painful it would be to be in the public eye in the way that some of the young actress are these days.
It's hard enough being someone that is trying to find a way to be comfortable in your own skin these days, and they wonder why these kids turn to drugs? Apart from the fact that drugs when used in immoderate proportions are amazing at most part - they are pretty good for escaping too.

I'm not even privy to it myself. I am not in any way, shape or form someone that necessitates fame or any attention from the public eye - yet somehow I manage to find myself the center of attention for a lot of bored people who enjoy circulating rumors or stories about me and my life. I just wish that people would think more before they spoke and had the ability to remember we all have secrets and they are secrets for certain reasons.

I think the world needs a little more humility - that's all. I don't assume that anyone's even reading or that I'm making a ground breaking statement - I just wanted to air my thoughts. On a public blog. Where I am pretty much fucking everything I just said right up the ass - because if I really truly believed we should all be left in privacy, why then would I go and post a public statement, right?

Whatever, I've always been a bit of a hypocrite.



Melbourne, you look like London today. Is this your way of asking me to stay?
