Guess where I’m blogging from? Yeahhhh Spike! My laptop (Spike) had some problems, and I got fed up so we just re-installed Windows on ‘im & he’s all good now so woo!

So, the past week has been basically crap. Raining endlessly – and even if I love the rain, its incredibly annoying to have to go places in it, Dillan got sick so I could only see him on Tuesday (I usually see him about twice a week), and certain people at school are just unbearable right now. Girls are so bitchy and I know I always winge about being at an all-girl school, but its seriously the worst thing ever. I swear, I need a break from so much.

This weekend was cool, though. Saturday was spent sort-of in honour of Dillan’s birthday (its this Thursday, but I’m not going to be able to see him then, so we’re doing things now), so we saw The Losers (it only just came out over here). It was kind of weird because it was in the same theatre as Robin Hood last week, and around the same session time. Yeah, we’re becoming regulars now. But the film was good, a good laugh and a lot of guns & stuff – the things I love about film. It was kind of like Tropic Thunder in a lot of ways, but without the genius of Robert Downey Jnr. But we did get Chris Evans so that’s cool. He’s fit. After we kind of maintained our city-dwelling habits, went to the news agency we go to every week, went and got Mountain Dew from the same place (this week we got Code Red though, they were out of Voltage. I swear, Code Red is HORRIBLE stuff). We also went to a comic book store, though. I swear, it was SO HARD not to buy an Iron Man bobble head. But yeah, good day. I always have good days with Dillan.

Today, Sunday, Mum took me to factory outlets to buy some stuff for school – trousers, few jumpers and shoes (keeping in mind we have a uniform, but as long as its the right colours they don’t really mind what you do). It was alright, nightmare with parking though, my god. The rest of today was spent half-doing up Spike (15GB of music… fun!) & assorted things. And studying for art – test tomorrow. Great.

I have so many thoughts running through my head right now, its insane. I need to mind-map. I’ve been trying to make a layout for this place, but its just not happening like I’d want it to. I can’t make layouts any more. Well, not in the style I’d want to, anyway. I also need to re-layout a few fanlistings. So much to do, so little time (and motivation. I’ve seriously lost SO MUCH motivation for anything online recently – my fansites are proof. I’m going to put them up for adoption, though. Soon. Now to get motivated to do that… haha).

This week is a stupid blog. Oh well. I’m going to go make some tea and chill with the family, watching the Eurovision final. I accidentally found out Germany won, so I guess it won’t be as fun, but I always accidentally find out the winner. Stupid Australia, airing the final too late. Still, I wanted Turkey to win. Kind of cut they didn’t, but I don’t think my favourite has ever won. But its ok, Eurovision is always a laugh anyways.

Sometimes I wish I could film my life with super-speed camera’s and strobe lights.

Yesterday I finally saw a film in theatres, which is something I hadn’t done since Iron Man. Yes, its only been two weeks, but for the past 2 months I’ve been seeing HEAPS of films. Anyway, Dillan and I saw Robin Hood. It was actually a lot better than I anticipated. Yeah, Russle Crowe’s accent was all over the place, but the direction of the film was great. And the sets and stuff. AND MARK STRONG OMG I OFFICIALLY LOVE THAT MAN. He is SO GOOD. Other than that, though, there wasn’t much going for the film. At times you couldn’t figure out exactly what the film was about, what the main focus of the plot was on, which annoyed me. But its ok. I like it like I liked Avatar, it was a good film, just not my favourite.

I think lately film has really improved. I mean, I get a lot more excited about films than I ever did before this year. That could also be because I read Empire more religiously, but still. I mean, I can’t wait for A-Team to come out, and so far 2010 has produced some of my favourite films to date (aka Kick Ass and Iron Man 2). And with the way the world is evolving, film is only going to get better too! This is very exciting stuff.

The rest of Saturday was great, too. It did rain after we left the theatres (walking around the city in the rain is actually great, though, so I don’t mind), but Mountain Dew made up for that. It was also the night of Yasmin’s/Danielle’s/Elisha’s birthday celebrations. The three of them just bunched their birthdays together, and celebrated at Yas’. It was fun, we had bonfires & trampolines & cake & stuff. It did get cold, though. But it was great, I haven’t seen Stacey or Maddie at a party in ages and those two are great, so it was nice being with them. And Danielle. She’s so nice, it was great when she came to sit with us.

Lately I’ve really been in the mood for re-decorating my bedroom. I came across Olga Bennett’s photography portfolio, and she’s done a series of workspaces of people from various creative fields, like fashion designers and illustrators and the like. My favourite is Luci Everett’s space. I would love to have the chance to spice up my room, only my father still hasn’t gotten me a desk (I’ve had my current one since I was 6), or new shelves (my current ones are half-made and breaking), or doors on my wardrobe (so no mirrors, I have no idea how I step out of the house every day). Its incredibly irritating.

I am so not in the blogging mood right now. It has been raining a lot lately. Its officially winter, I guess, even if it isn’t June yet. Nearly is, though. Whatever. This is the end of the blog.

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.
