You’re Not Alone – Saosin

1. Details of my shelf
2. Magazines of the week + HP7 Blu Ray
3. New hair (ombre – lightened ends) & new Cheap Monday jeans
4. Being a fool with Maddie & Luke

The first week of holidays has been fairly decent, I have to say. Mainly, my time is divided by people & school work. Gotten a fair bit done so far, and will probably continue well into the next week and a half. If I’m not watching the new Harry Potter blu ray, or on Tumblr, I’m out. Often doing nothing with Luke, or being fools with Maddie, Stacey, Stella, Luke and Fletcher (and a webcam), or out for coffee with Maddie and Stacey, or coffee with Chrystal, or getting my hair done.

So yeah. Thats been my week, basically.

As you can tell, new layout. I’m pretty iffy about this one, so I don’t know how long this will be up, but I’d been toying with an idea like this for ages so I figured I may as well. The previous layout had been up for a total of 5 months, which could be a record (Edit: it is). Ah well, we’ll see how this goes.

Other than that, not much is up. Its funny, even though this time last year, I was hardly as sociable or active or any of that, I don’t have more to say. Ah well, Easter soon. Big plans?

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.

Firstly, this post will be long, so I apologise now.

Basically, my week was rather mundane. Friday night with the girls (Stella, Loretta & Yasmin) after a week full of friendship drama. We went to an Asian restaurant which made the best spring rolls you’ll ever eat, then went to a chocolate coffeeshop thing (Max Brenner, if that means anything to anyone), and then saw No Strings Attached, which I actually really enjoyed. Ashton Kutcher works for me now, he’s pretty ace.

But the best part of the week (and reason for late blog) was Soundwave…

I went with Maddie, Emma (+ her boyf & Ryan & occasionally their mates), Stacey, Rhi & Caitlin, but also saw my friend who lives two hours away, Jess, and some of her friends again (Ash, Tom, Dani). In total I saw 11 acts, Bayside, Sum 41, Bullet for my Valentine, Blessthefall, Dimmu Borgir, 30 Second to Mars, New Found Glory, Mad Caddies, The Maine, The Blackout & Mayday Parade (not including the ends of some acts, beginnings of others, etc). Of course my favourite was Bayside (WHO I MET, so excuse my dickhead face because that band means the world to me) (I also found the guy I was next to in the mosh on Tumblr… the world these days), but Blessthefall were quite great too. And The Blackout were pretty amazing live too. But it was an INCREDIBLE day, I hurt everywhere because of the moshes, and I lost my watch that I’ve had for 7 years at Mayday Parade, but its worth it.

So my weekend was basically incredible. I am happy as HELL right now.

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.

Hollaback Girl (Cover) – Foals

Again, late blog. Its cos Dillan came home late & I went to see him during the time when I usually blog. Update: We’ve broken up now. Its a shit situation. But I got to punch him.

The past week has been really bloody hot. First weeks of school always are. Today was lovely and like, 21*C, so. But yeah, that first week killed me. Luckily we managed to find a way to sneak into the single air conditioned room in our school. Sweeeet. Getting back into the routine is a bit weird, especially with a new timetable, but I’m getting back into it. School isn’t quite killing me yet. School photos tomorrow, however, will.

Also, as you can see, saw Black Swan over the weekend. I wrote a horrible review last night, here, so I guess yeah. I don’t know about that film.

Yeah, that’s really it. Busy week ahead & yeah. I don’t know, I’m so horrible with writing down anything lately. I apologise.
