Gotta Get Away – Stiff Little Fingers
A lot of people have told me I txt really fast. Cool.
This week has been pretty… blank, I guess. Nothing much has happened. On Monday both art classes went on an excursion to the Art Gallery of NSW to visit the Archibald Prize & look around. We got there (my art teacher was late so she txted me. Yeah, we’re FULLY tight now), chilled in the Domain for a while, went in & looked at the permanent collection – they COMPLETELY surprised me, having a Bacon piece (he’s my absolute FAVOURITE painter, so I naturally had a little spaz and danced around for a while. Then stopped and stared. I must have spent 5 minutes infront of that piece. It was Study for Self-Portrait (1978) btw). We then went in to view the exhibit for the prize… it was all so boring. Seriously, Australian artists SUCK.
It was an alright day, though, because our art teacher is completely easy-going and let us leave whenever and do whatever we wanted, the other teacher made her class look at cathedrals and all this other mumbojumbo… so Mel and I got Mountain Dew Voltage (♥) and chilled (& bitched), waiting for Christine. Saw Dillan that afternoon, too, so it was a good day in all.
What else? Dillan met my parents on Wednesday… he had to come over because he needed help with an assessment task (website creation, surprise surprise), so he met ‘em. Its always so awkward, pmsl. But I guess… yeah. He was quite impressed with the fact that I could type out div layers, so that made me feel good. Its always awesome when the people who’s judgement you care about likes what you do.
But yeah, other than that my week has been boring. So so boring. I got a pretty heavy head-cold, been home sick on Thursday & Friday. It was harsh. But it gave me a lot of free time, which I need. I even got to post a tutorial that I’d been meaning to post for a few months. I also got time to work on my art self portrait – it doesn’t look like me, but I’m kind of proud of the art-y stuff, like art practise & that. I don’t know, I hate drawing me.
It was also Mum’s birthday over the week, on Thursday. Last night we went out to dinner at a Leagues club for her (with some family friends), which… well, I don’t really like going to that club so I didn’t quiet enjoy myself, and the other family kept on trying to get me to eat (and I don’t eat large amounts) so that was annoying, but Mum enjoyed herself which is good. Also saw the grandparents today, so. I don’t even know how old Mum is now, haha. Such a bad daughter, I know.
I’m kind of dying – I haven’t made a layout in ages (not since this one went online). I haven’t done anything web-savvy (save that tutorial) in ages and I need to do something. But what? My problem exactly. Lord. I’m going mental.
I’m going to end this, but does anyone here listen to The Twang? And then, do any of you agree with me when I say they sound like Men At Work? Seriously… lmao.
