would you listen to what i have to say?

it's nearly 1am, and i'm so tired that my head keeps flopping and my eyelids drooping, but i'm so full of inspiration that i don't want to go to bed.

i had a girly catch up today with my best girl friends from school. muchos laughs, tears and fatty foods all round. but after the others left, i hung around with my best friend han discussing our interests and careers and hobbies. basically i live by the philosophy that whatever makes you happiest should somehow become your career. if you don't enjoy going to work the majority of the time, it's the wrong path for you. life is short, and being stuck in a job you hate, while justifying it by saying it pays a lot, is just plain sad. and your priorities are out of whack. but that's just my opinion.

but anyway, we were discussing our interests, and how we're both really interested in having a job that involves creativity. i'm looking to get into something involving events/fashion/publications/marketing and han is looking into writing/production design/curating. and after both admitting we would love to work on some sort of creative, cultural publication, it got us thinking, that we could produce some form of publication/project of our own. something that would provide us with an outlet for our creative sides. and more importantly, something to do now that we've both finished our degrees and are basically hanging out doing not a hell of a lot between shifts at work.

so now we brainstorm.

i'm so excited at the idea, but to be honest a little worried we won't be taken seriously, and no-one will be interested in what we provide. we don't want to look like try hards. we just want to put something out there that people like us will enjoy reading - something that provides a different viewpoint to ponder, something creative to admire, or a giggle after a hard day.

it has to be just right.
