Song: Kiss Of Life – Friendly Fires

This is the last full week of my holidays. School starts up next week on Thursday (yeah, I don’t get why week 1 is only two days), so I’m trying to get everything I wanted done over the holidays. I’m so over all this moping about not seeing anyone, I’m just going to grin and bare it whenever people gush about their amazing holidays. Its all I can do, all I ever do.

So what have I been up to? Film. Lots and lots of films. We rented out ‘Up’ which was cute, I’ll admit. Admittedly I only watched it because of real life Russell, but it was still cool. We also got ‘the Soloist’ which I enjoyed – because I enjoy all of RDJ’s films – but it wasn’t a favourite. It was quite depressing, all the homelessness and that. We also rented out ‘Inglorious Basterds’, but I only saw the end of it because Jeremy kidnapped the DVD. He does that.

What else? I’m so bad at remembering, I’ve got twitter open to remind myself. It doesn’t help much, to be honest. … apparently on Monday I didn’t wear trousers at all. Cool. My first issue of my Computer Arts subscription came, which is exciting. Its always good, because now I can estimate when I’ll get the next one, and stuff.

This is most likely going to be another blog about nothing.

Also been getting a lot of new music. I’m currently listening to Friendly Fires which are nice and cool and electro, I also downloaded The View, The Maccabees (who are pretty darn awesome) and The Courteeners. And more back-albums. I managed to delete about 492 songs from iTunes, its crazy how much junk I had. Some of the stuff hadn’t been listened to since 2006.

I’m so beat with what to post. I made a new layout, incase you couldn’t tell. I’m not sure how much I like it, but out of the 5 I’d shown Jess, this was the one she said to use. Meh, maybe it will grow on me.

Last night I had a dream that I was looking after Sid from Skins (don’t know why) and Tony came around and beat me up for not doing it right. So he goes away, and I go to the bathroom, and Tony’s sleeping in my bath and some random person is on the toilet, with a knife in their head. So I take Sid to the zoo, and we watch the monkeys catch a murderer (the one who killed the random on the toilet). So then I go to the police station and check out all the other murders, and then make a movie poster about it. I don’t understand either.

Time to end the blog! Bye!

Song: Lets Pretend We’re Married – Prince

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!

Song: She’s Got Standards – The Rifles

I am actually pretty tired at the moment. But that’s my own fault and I don’t really care. I should stop having so many dreams about babies and cricket and stoner Dumbledore and being naked.

The past week at school has been, well, different. On the Monday we had the excursion to the sea side we were meant to go on ages ago, you can see an image of the sea side to the left to prove I actually went, pmsl. It was actually kinda shit because it was too much ‘ohh look at plant’ and too little ‘ok time to rest your sore sore feet’. I had about two cups of sand in my shoes. It wasn’t great.

And then today, Friday, we went to the old quarantine station they used back in the day when the first settlers came to Australia. Apparently its haunted. Whatever. We visited their hospital and showers and kitchens (apparently the most haunted place in Australia. Our tour guide (who had a Yorkshire accent, I SWEAR) was quite proud of it). It was considerably better than Monday considering we got to buy ice-cream after and have a mini-picnick.

Also this week I got glasses. I’ve needed them for a while but never did anything about it until my brother went for an eye test. I look like a massive shit in the photo, but people reckon they look alright, so hopefully they don’t look too bad. I’m short-sighted, by the way.

Besides all that nothing too interesting has happened. Obviously we lost the Ashes on… Sunday, was it? Basically, the Ashes was all I talked about on Monday, pmsl. I talked at people because none of them knew what I was going on about. Broad definitely deserved Man of the Match after Friday night, but I don’t think its fine to blame Ponting for our loss. I mean, I don’t like Ponting, but I don’t blame him. Our lack of experience, AND LACK OF BRETT LEE, were the main contributing factors. And the fact that England gamed up, Swann, Broad and Anderson played really well. Broad was incredible on Friday. And that has nothing to to with the fact that I find him attractive. More to do with the fact that he got 5/37!!!. Basically out of all the played balls he bowled, 5 lead to wickets and 37 lead to runs. For non-cricket folk, its GOOD. But in saying that I was also proud of good ol’ Mitch and North. And I also laughed so much at Northeast. Mainly his name.

That’s enough cricket talk. I’ll most likely bore you to shit. I need to put up a new layout but I have no idea how to code it so I probably won’t, pmsl. I did the layout. Jess helped me figure out the coding. I love her.
