Zomby – Pillz

This is my last week of Summer. Tomorrow I’m back at school, aiming at completing my final year of high school. By September, I’ll be a graduate. By November, no more high school exams ever. Next January, I’ll (hopefully) be accepted into University. And to think, I’ve known some of the same bloggers than I did when I first started highschool.

This week hasn’t been all that much. Wednesday, Australia Day, I went with my family to some family friends – one of which is also a teacher at my school. Luckily she’s only had my class once (don’t remember it though), and she teaches Science, which I don’t take. So not too awkward. But yeah, that’s really the only time I went out. Naturally I was meant to be out this weekend, but out of lack of organisation, and my annoying headcold (yeah, thanks Dad for that), neither plans happened. But its ok, I should be in fine health by tomorrow morning, and if not… well, we’ll get to that.

Big thing this week though; the new Skins! (Spoiler warning) To be honest, I liked it. I have no bias in terms of generations, so a new cast was interesting. It does seem a bit clique-y, but regardless, it was an interesting take because in previous Skins, things like Facebook (or Friendlook, either way) weren’t prominent. But I really liked Frankie, she’s actually gorgeous and I adore her style, and I’d love to see more of Matty (the gun guy – although you never found out his name [thanks E4!]). Rick also seems cool, and he is technically supposed to be the guy I like, but he’s just lacking to me. I don’t know why. Oh well, Matty will be mine to love forever.

Anyway, I guess this past week of bumming around, watching films, playing Sims, downloading heaps of music & building fanlistings turned out to be a good way to spend the week. There was a big party last night that I wasn’t invited to (I hardly know the guy, so I’m not resentful) which I’m sure I’ll hear all about tomorrow. At least its the last week without Dillan.

Here we are, 2010. I hope everyone had a good NYE celebration; I know I didn’t. Well, it wasn’t bad, I just didn’t do anything. People went to parties or whatever but I wasn’t invited to any of them. What can you do, though?! Exactly. I don’t have any special 2010 resolutions or aims or goals, I doubt there will be much difference from this year to last. 2009 was an odd year; if you get bored you can watch my “review” here.

But yeah, a week ago it was Christmas. On the day, we got together with Mum’s side of the family & had a barbecue at my uncle’s. It wasn’t that bad of a day, but I guess we all had something to complain about. Our family isn’t necessarily “close”. On boxing day we had family friends over, which was nice. Dad decided to actually build our table tennis table (we’ve had it for a year and a half and its been half constructed for that long), so there was a lot of that going on, and has been for the past few days.

I guess the most exciting part of Christmas is the gifts! Here’s what I got:

L-R; Top: Computer Arts Magazine subscription (!!!), Avengers graphic novel,
Marvel Super Wars feat. The Human Torch & Wolverine + collectors comic, Hulk
figurine. Bottom: Super Hero Squad feat. Iron Man & Spider Woman, Galactic
Heroes feat. Storm & Rebel Troopers, Book; Sherlock Holmes, DVD’s; Public
Enemies, Wanted, Hot Fuzz & Shaun of the Dead

I’ve watched all the DVD’s except Public Enemies, I haven’t started either book, and I haven’t opened the figurines because I have no where to put them (Dad really needs to get me more shelves). The subscription starts this month sometime (that is the Nov. issue, aka some random one I pulled out for the photo). I also got a bunch of make-up, hair care & body lotions (one set came with this tea cup which is practically a soup bowl, its BOSS) from family/family friends.

I guess Christmas & NY hasn’t been that bad this year. I guess it would have been foolish to expect some amazing experience, but I’m really happy with my gifts and I’m definitely spoilt. Anyways, how was your Christmas/Holidays/New Years?

Oh look at me, doing all my Christmas work before Christmas. Not that this counts as Christmas work, but you get the picture. New layout & coding & fancy things. NEVILLE!

As it is still holidays and will be until late January, I haven’t been doing much. I did see Avatar, though. I saw it on Monday with Belle, Michelle and her friend (remember the new friend I made that I posted about before?) but we couldn’t find them (bad organisation on our part). Turns out they came rather late anyway. But whatever, the movie was amazing. The scenery and the world of Pandora they had created was incredible, the detail so amazing. The storyline was FULL of social comments about history and foresting and such but I mean, it was true and honest. And the CG was awesome. We saw the film in 3D too, so if you get a chance make sure you watch it in 3D. It looks so natural and real (well, as real as it could get haha).

Other than that there hasn’t been anything really going on. On Sunday Mum took me to this BBQ which turned out to be my friend Stacey’s “family” birthday celebration (Mum & her mum are like, TIGHT), so that was interesting. Maddie & Emma were also there, along with some guy friends who I think I’ve met before. Oh well, they seemed a lot more talkative than… a year ago, I suppose. There’s something new, me socialising, pmsl. Anyway, they had this AMAZING ice-cream cake. It was like (and this is all ice-cream), a hazelnut base, chocolate centre and then ontop it had all these different scoops, so I got coffe, mango and raspberry. It was SO GOOD.

Yesterday I finished watching the first season of Misfits (no, not the band, the show). Its an e4 (England) show and its about these kids who screw up and have community service, and then this freak storm comes and gives them abilities… like Simon can turn invisible and Alicia can make people have sex with her if she touches them. Its really really cool, even if my explaining is shoddy. One character, Nathan (played by Robert Sheehan (who is also going to be Luke in Cherrybomb with Grint) who is FIT), is absolutely hilarious (“There’s only one thing young ladies should be inserting in themselves, and that’s knowledge.” / “I always wanted to be a cheat, I’m just too disorganised. I struggle to remember one girls name”) even if he is a little bit of a prick. He makes the show, though. And Simon, the quiet kid, reminds me of myself so much (aside from his perverted nature, lmao).

Why do I always talk about shows (aka Misfits) that no one I know watches? Oh well, you should. Not that I’m in a place to tell you what to watch, but whatever.

I’m getting really confused about my dreams, three nights in a row they’ve included a romantic interest. I think my brain is feeling sorry for me and my lacking love life, so I dream it. How rude.

Anyway, Christmas is soon. In two days. We’re going to my uncle’s and doing family things. I’ll be able to see Helen (my cool cousin) and catch up with her. And I know I’m getting Public Enemies on DVD (amongst others) which I’m very excited about (I missed it in theatres). Yeah, how shallow. Meh. Christmas is always such a headache with family gatherings, it takes away any meaning. Whatever, I’ll leave you to it. Have a happy holiday, guys!
