3 Doors Down – Kryptonite

Friday has been the most busy day anyone could imagine. A 7am wakeup to make a 9am barista course – I am now an internationally recognised barista, so watch out – to rush to a 5:30 early dinner to farewell my friend Cynthia (second photo with karate headband) before she left for university – she moved from Sydney today. It was actually a really nice dinner, with a bunch of people from highschool I never really hung out with besides at school. The cocktails were lovely too.

The night ended at my friend Sarah’s 18th. Haven’t been to a house party in a while so that was ace. Also has been the first week all year I haven’t gone out “clubbing” too, it’s been a rare thing, so that night made up for the boring week.

Who would believe things all of a sudden have gotten so busy? Next week is full on. Oh well. One month left until university, best enjoy it.

Florence and the Machine – Only if for A Night

Things are busy. I am a few days and a few modifications off finishing my final major project on my father’s home business’ website, meaning I’ll get to stop working for him. This makes me happier than anything. Sooner or later I’ll need a proper job but MAN this is good news. I have also been accepted into University. I’ll be going to the University of Technology (Sydney), to study a bachelor in Interior and Spatial Design. Excited as hell. I got my first preference at the university I’ve wanted to be at since I was 12. I have friends in that course too so I’m excited.

What else? Been going out, the above photos are from Friday night. I’ve cut my hair too, again. Clearly I need to fix my roots but I’m avoiding further damaging my hair from all the times I dyed it last year.

I’m also getting back into sketching, and hope to get a few online sooner or later. My current trend thing is so mash-up old sketches so who knows. Might get a little collection going.

Exciting life and times.

Awkward – San Cisco

That, my friends, is a photo Chrystal took during the last song played by the Arctic Monkeys at the Enmore Theatre on Friday. Yep, that was bolded because MY GOD seeing them was such a big deal. Their show was so so so good, their setlist was full of great classics (Crying Lightning, I Bet That You Looked Good on the Dancefloor, Teddy Picker, Fluorescent Adolescent, Brianstorm), and all my favourites from the new record (Black Treacle, The Hellcat Spangled Shalalala, She’s Thunderstorms). Alex is incredible live, don’t let anyone tell you any different. They’re actually an incredibly talented group – Miles Kane made some fun appearances in there too. The only mildly annoying thing was where we were standing – it was close enough (whenever you take photos at concerts it always seems like you’re so much further away than you are) but to our left were couples constantly making out, and to our right were a collection of 5 or 6 40 year olds trying to re-live their youth and open a moshpit.

Basically, there is a reason why I love this band so much. They were so amazing.
