Welcome Home, Son – Radical Face

Its been an intense week. Life has really picked up its pace lately and I have been having a bit of a stress trying to adjust to all this change. But we’re getting there.

The past week has been a mix of miss-matched meals (pancakes for dinner twice say whaaa), homework & studying, and general schooling life. My weeks are generally so uninteresting. Weekend was nice. Stella, Maddie & I went to the indie part of town, shopping and such. Bought two outfits pictured; that dress (very Alexa Chung), and a sheer navy shirt with a simple black shirt. Fairly decent. We then went and had tiramisu in the grave yard (being generally indie losers) and visiting magazine shops. Didn’t actually buy any this time; its a rarity.

Naturally, though, the highlight was the date I had with James (aka guy I met at Mardi Gras). We saw The Adjustment Bureau which was actually rather good. James was adamant that Emily Blunt’s character Elise was just like me. I will get around to reviewing that film, and some others, when I get a chance. But yeah, the date itself was nice and cute and such. Won’t go into too much detail, but I guess its “official” or whatever. I don’t know. I know its soon, so I’m definitely going to make this calm and not rush anything or make anything too serious too fast, but its nice. I like him.

Things are simple, y’know? I have good mates, a nice boyfriend, working on decent grades, I’m generally content. My A Day To Remember tickets arrived last week too so I’ll be seeing them in May! I have a very positive outlook right now, everything is working out.

Evil Boy – Die Antwoord

One picture only? Last blog you got heaps so, y’know, have to balance it out.

This past week has been alright. Got my Senior Jersey (y’know how some uniformed high schools get special blazers for the graduating year? We get Jersey’s, rugby style) which is really exciting for the rest of the grade, bit meh on my part. Whatever, s’a bit weird being a senior now though. We have our own section of the school and stuff. We’re actually old. Fancy that.

This weekend was the best, though. Mardi Gras again! During the day Stella & I went out to buy my dress/outfit; such a good time, Stella always knows what to dress me in. You can’t really see my dress too well (there weren’t that many photos from the night), but this is it. The night was actually so good. Watched the parade for a while because a girl from school was marching, but then Bec needed to pee so a bunch of us went toilet hunting, so by the time that was done we weren’t bothered to go back & just chilled in Hyde Park. Mardi Gras is always great because you run into so many random people; ran into the group of guys we used to hang out with like 3 years ago – so surprising that they remembered me! Much like last year I met a lovely guy (Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras always works so well for my hetero relationship life), so we shall see how that works out.

Sad thing is I’ve lost my voice so I sound so ridiculous. I hope its just from shouting & not from sickness. That’d be uncool.

So yeah, good weekend. Obviously. And yours?

Baptism (DSS Megatron Bootleg Remix) – Crystal Castles

Quite disappointed that my coffee has gone cold, but alas.

This week has been very busy. I actually really enjoyed it. Of course, first part of the week was a little shit with Dillan. Just to explain, he’d come home from Brazil & admitted to cheating on me. He was given the chance to try make it up to me, but he simply didn’t. I ended it with him after that. Honestly, I’m handling things alright. I think because he’d been away for the past month, I’d been able to adjust to him not being around, so I don’t miss him. A lot of people don’t expect me to be, but I’m fine. Optimistic.

That said, Thursday was brilliant. Last school swimming carnival ever. You may remember me mentioning last years, but basically its a day where the school does swimming races. But as a Year 12/Senior, it was a day of dressing up ridiculously, and pushing teachers into pools. Very fun. I’m going to love being a Senior.

The rest of the week was just fine, soldiering on. Friday night, went over to Stacey’s & watched The Children, which is basically a ridiculous B-Grade British horror film. Not the best film, haha. Saturday I went into the city with Melanie – she needed me to model for her Art Major Work, and I also bought a bunch of things (including a wishbone necklace, ram-head ring & those shoes, how beautiful are they seriously). Then today I went out for coffee with Maddie in which I had amazing french toast with banana & bacon, and bought a whole lot of magazines and her Valentines gift for her boyf Jake which will be amazing.

So yeah, good times. I’m really ready to start making changes in life, so we shall see how we go.

Radar Detector (Xaphoon Jones Remix) – Darwin Deez

This week was actually fun AND productive. The days that I stayed at home, I cleaned out my draws in my room, my wardrobe… just threw out SO MUCH junk. Even re-did my pinboard. Saved a bunch of stuff for shits & giggles for when I’m older, but hopefully things’ll be more organised now.

When I was out, it was pretty ace. Wednesday night I saw The Tourist with Victoria; we chilled out in the mall a bit, catching up and stuff. It was lovely. Thursday, met up with Stacey, Maddie, Stella and Rhiana (Stacey’s cousin) & saw Burlesque (review when I can be bothered), then chilled back at hers watching crappy MTV & talking supernatural shit with Grant. Sunday – and this is why this blog is coming a day late – I went into the city with Naomi. Chilled out a bit, watched a beautiful band busk; they’re called Set Sail & you can see their FB here – they’re worth it, seriously. Anyway, went back to hers, met up with her friends (Anna, Daniel, Victor & Luke), played board games, chilled in parks, etc etc. Naomi, Victor & I pulled an all nighter, which naturally lead to us drawing ridiculous make-up on Victor. Poor boy, poor poor boy.

But yes, as you can tell I’ve collected a bunch of belongings this week too; i-D, some bracelets, some lipstick & these Chanel rip sunglasses which I love and feel about 10 years older in. So yeah, good week. Only 1 more week until school starts, and 2 weeks before Dillan returns. Should be good.

Violence – Blink 182

Its surprising how time goes during holidays. Each day feels like it drags on forever, but when you think of a week, it feels like a heartbeat.

On Sunday Mum took me to the store & I bought a new pair of shorts (I need to adjust them, though. Cos they were on sale they were a size too big so I need to hem the ends) and a lovely fake sheepskin vest. Its brilliant & I wore them to see Maddie on Monday for coffee. It was lovely to see her because I hadn’t in a while and we always seem to be able to talk for hours. Thursday I also got to catch up with Christine & Melanie – we didn’t do much, just caught up, but I did buy that birdcage & candle, and a few new posters. I redid my posters last night, I believe. Throughout the week I also kept up my magazine hoarding habits.

I’ve actually read a lot these holidays. Finished reading my English text, Romulus, My Father & am now reading Scar Tissue (also for English). Accomplishing a lot!

The days that I don’t do anything significant are usually laced with video games (The Sims 3 & Fallout New Vegas, namely), trips to the shops with my brother, and re-watching films. Oh and a lot of How I met Your Mother. Pretty standard, lazy stuff. Naturally I’ve been missing Dillan a lot, but this weekend I have heard from him a lot more than expected, so that’s been nice. He’s back in 4 weeks.

Just 3 weeks left. Daunting.
