Broken Horse – Freelance Whales

My sleeping pattern is actually demented right now. This past week has simply been me relying on coffee to get through each day. Being a senior isn’t working out for me right now.

Besides the never ending tiredness, this week was alright. Taken to walking home a lot now for exercise sake, and school’s been ok. The drama is still around, but I’m disconnecting myself from it all now so its loosing its effect. Been doing a lot of work for Art and Software lately too – making a video game in Software again which is really fun!

The weekend’s been alright too. Hung out with Luke and Dennis on Friday… Sophia and Tiffany Saturday night… went into the city with Samantha on Saturday too. I had to get her to take photos of me for my Art Major Work, so I walked around the city like that for a couple of hours, lots of staring. I don’t know how fashion bloggers do it. There are literally 200 out-takes, but I won’t bore you with ‘em all. It was actually really fun too, so I might do this with Sam more often.

I am actually so out of it right now, so I’m sorry that this blog is so crappy. But guiiizzeeee, we survived the rapture!

Drifting Thing – Polar Bear Club

I’ve slacked off a bit. I’m not sure which would be better; a regular blogging schedule, or just blogging whenever I feel my life is entertaining enough.

Lets see, my week. Assessments. I have a geography one tomorrow, as well. School’s pretty demanding, but its ok, final year. We had parent/teacher interview night last night, but luckily it went really well & my parents are proud of me, handling myself so well (especially after all the business that’s been of my life so far).

Last Thursday was also International Day. Basically, every year our school has a day of celebration for multiculturalism. There are heaps of food stalls and concerts (showcasing traditional international dances and stuff). Its happened every year since I’ve been at this school, so its a bit weird that its the last one. Mind, the fact that its the last one probably won’t sink in until this time next year.

My weekend was also alright; hung out with Dennis, Luke, Ashley & Matt on Friday night, playing pool. I can’t pay pool. Failed so, so much. But it was fun, really weird night. I was the only girl, and the only people I really knew were Dennis & Luke. But yeah, was cool. Saturday I went into the city with Melanie, Lilli, Samantha and Jenny to visit the art gallery (there are photos, but Samantha fails). Each year they have an exhibit called Art Express, which showcases the best pieces submitted into the HSC (final exams). Basically tried to get inspiration, but the standard wasn’t that good in my opinion. I doubt I’ll get into it, but hey we can hope.

So yeah, boring. 2 more weeks until holidays. Can’t goddamn wait.

Man Overboard – Blink 182

Boring week gets photo post. I might do these more often soon. The past week has just been a standard mix of school, seeing Dillan and seeing small art exhibitions with my class. Saturday I was meant to see some friends that I haven’t for a few years, but cos it was so rainy, we rescheduled to next Sunday. Today (Sunday) Mum took me to buy a new school bag, wallet and some other things (amazing lipstick, I’ll show soon enough !). Still, life is busy and goes on.

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.
