Keep on movin’ – Five

Hi, my name is Jess and I change my hair very frequently.

The past week has been rather busy. Saw Sherlock Holmes on Monday with Samantha, and rather loved it. Saw Clinton that night too which I hadn’t since… before November, actually. Coffee with Sophia Tuesday, living at Chrystal’s for the rest of the week. She did my hair on Thursday (she’s been my hairdresser for AGES now), and that night went out to celebrate Jess’ birthday with a bunch of people I hadn’t seen for so long – Michael, Nick, Adrian and Max (aswell as the usual gang). Friday night Jess had a proper dinner celebration thing with ~the girls~, drinking really badly made cocktails right out of the mixer.

Saturday night – where the majority of these photos are from – was Bec’s 18th. It was a decent house party, save the shit from a whole bunch of drunk teens. Came home covered in mud and suddenly best friends with people I thought didn’t know who I was. Bit cute.

God this post screams 90210 drama. At least it’s not Baywatch drama – which is my new favourite show.

Ohhhh summer holidays.

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.

For All We Know – Chunk! NO Captain Chunk!

So, that’s my brother and mother. I am so proud that when Dad wanted to take a photo of us sitting together, we all did these poses without arranging it.

Christmas was ok. Gift wise, this year we’re celebrating money! I did get The Tourist on DVD though, so there’s a bit of fun. For Christmas we went to my Uncle’s place for Christmas Lunch (seeing as its Summer for Christmas here, the norm is to have a barbecue lunch with cold meats and seafood), and for the first time in years the whole of Mum’s family were together. I can’t express how rare that is. So y’know, it was all right. For Boxing Day we had another barbecue at our place, this time for family friends. So it’s been full on with the guests and family friends and family and such. It feels like I haven’t seen my own friends for so long, even though I was with them on Friday.

Ahh well, it’s all coming to an end now. Tell me about your holiday season though!!

Carry the Banner – The Flatliners

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while – and I mean a while – you may recall that a while ago a friend of mine had to move to Spain. That was last August, and a lot for her has changed. The point being, however, is that for the Holiday season, she’s come back to Australia with her boyfriend and sister, so the other day we had a barbeque (typically Australian) to bring the gang together and see her again. It was nice, she’s still the same which is kind of funny. The night turned interesting too with failed trips to the City and other shenanigans, but y’know, all fun and games.

Christmas is sneaky soon, too. We got HSC exam results back this week as well and I did well enough! I’m pleased so hopefully university will want me! In the mean time I’ll be home all day playing the Sims and trying to recover from a horrible Summer cold. Life is a cruel mistress.

To Build a Home – The Cinematic Orchestra

Formal. Suppose its like the Australian equivalent to Prom, but less intense. Ours was on Tuesday and it had to naturally rain. The dress is from Aqua, if anyone’s interested. But no, it was a lovely night, being the last time I’d see a lot of people from high school. I don’t know, there’s not much to say about Formal, cos we didn’t have any Prom Kings/Queens or anything, it was more like a sit down dinner where everyone could run around meeting people’s dates and gushing over how lovely people looked. But it was still nice, bonding with people over R Kelly is always great. The after party was a lot of fun, as well, even if we were all exhausted and it continued to rain.

And now, off to the coast for a week! I went to my friends formal the night after this so you guys can hear all about that when I’m back!
