Hawaiin Air – Friendly Fires

I am currently some way through the last week of the second term of school. The rest of this week, then break for 2. You have no idea how much I am looking forward to it.

Its been kind of exciting lately. Friday night was fun, Tiffany came over for a while, then we went out. All the uni exams are done so I get to see those guys (Tiffany, Luke, etc) more. Saturday had a cute little session at Samantha’s, and Sunday had a cute date with Chrystal. We went to these abandoned tram yards which (as you can see) have been trashed and graffiti-ed and such. I had to get her to model for my art major work, so got a lot of great shots and such. Its such a scenic place. Afterwards we went to a cute cafe and went to see X-Men First Class (which is the most exciting film I’ve seen for such a long time).

The rest of my time lately has been governed by assessments (which are all done for the term, so cheerin’), downloading new music (Manchester Orchestra, Friendly Fires, The Dodos, Cat Power, Florence & the Machine, Arctic Monkeys (♥), and Frank Turner all now hold new or updates places in my life), and sorting out life. Should be getting a new phone soon, so hopes up for that.

I just need holidays nowwww !

Waiting for My Chance to Come – Noah and the Whale

Yeah, I know, its been ages. I could pin it down to being really busy – because that is not a lie – but I could also pin it down to coming to most Sunday nights and just not being in the mood (even as I was in the middle of this I got distracted by charlieissocoollike). So I guess I’ll summarise my past 3 weeks in a bunch of dot points.

• Had a lot of exams. I have completed all assessments for Art (I came first in the year), Software Design (including a major work) and maths, which is pretty big. Next up trials and then final exams and then out of high school.
• One more assessment left for this term. Holidays are in two weeks.
• Visited the Rose Seidler House for art on the 7th. Its basically a modernist house designed in 1948 and preserved in 1950′s modernism (current art case study).
• My friend Lilli’s 18th was on the 11th. Kind of a weird party, a bit like being back in year 9 because all the ‘old’ friends I don’t really talk to any more were there. But it was alright.
• A lot of time spent lately with my two old friends Tiffany and Sophia.
• Father and brother went to Taiwan the other week for a business thing, brought me back some stuff, including a beautiful watch and some industrial boots that – whenever I find time – I’ll modify with studs and stuff.
• Dyed my hair impulsively last week. I don’t believe that photo does the colour justice; it was intended to be a royal blonde kind of colour, though now its more caramel – my hair cannot be anything other than ginger, its official.

Naturally so much more has been going on, but its a bit… unnecessary to blog about. I think things’ll be ok though. Final year is stressful and its kind of building up and my body has been taking it out on me a bit but yeah. Something cool will happen soon, though, I hope. And if, in the miraculous chance, anything does happen, I’ll try to blog about it on time.
