Song: Skeletons – Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Sometimes I feel like a failure at life because I can’t whistle.
Stuff has happened this week. Like, for instance, I did my geography presentation about population statistics in Latvia, which I got full marks for. That was great. I also handed in my art theory assignment, AND had an art theory test today. Not sure on how I went, but I know that art theory is out of the way now. That’s good. Today was also the day our school did the whole Worlds Greatest Shave thing. Basically its when people shave their head to raise money for cancer research. Christine shaved her head and got herself a PRETTY COOL moehawk. It really suits her, and she loves it, which is great.
Outside of school, though, things have been brilliant. On Saturday I went out on my date with Dillan. We went and saw the Hurt Locker, which is actually THAT GOOD of a film and totally deserves those Oscars. I mean, sure, it was essentially plotless, but I really liked it. The suspense and explosions and the characters (Thompson made me laugh a lot, even if he wasn’t in it much. And Specialist reminded me of McGee from NCIS, who is amazing so that was cool. And surprise!Ralph Fiennes was great. Any Ralph Fiennes is great) and all that made for a pretty cool film.
But moving away from the film, though, Saturday was actually a really nice date and Dillan is an absolute sweetheart, so I really enjoyed myself. I saw him again on Monday after school, and on Wednesday. We’re going out again tomorrow. I actually really like this guy, so. So yeah. Yeah. I have a boyfriend now. Its so strange. I mean, none of it feels like its me. I’ve never ever ever imagined I’d get a boyfriend (let alone this year!), so it’s just all so strange. I don’t know. I’m considerably happy about this, so.
What else? Skins was intense. I won’t spoil it – BECAUSE THERE IS SUCH A BIG SPOILER OMG – but yeah, wow. Cook is a legend, again, saving the day as usual.
Life is actually getting busy now, and its like all of a sudden everyone needs/wants me to be around. Dads’s more keen than ever to make me work for him, people at school all of a sudden think I’m cool (~boy approved, or whatever bullshit), Christine wants to go to places (with other friends too), I’ve got Dillan (who I genuinely want to see, though, so)… plus school. Which is getting more demanding, but manageable. Nothing out of my depth. I don’t know. Shit just gets busy.
AND I’ve got 3 2 fanlistings to build. I’ve done two, and got 2 more after that. Bloody hell, right?
Nice to hear the hurt locker is good, ever since the oscars I’ve been meaning to watch it but I haven’t got round to it yet.
