Stolen – Dashboard Confessional

The past week has been so crazy. ASOS things that I ordered a month ago [finally] arrived (they’re so lovely; black maxi skirt, sweatshirt dress, grey jersey maxi dress, grey t-shirt & waist belt), received my school report which was (mostly) really good, had a lot of drama but the week’s over, I guess. Saturday I saw Wild Target with Dillan (I really enjoyed it, mainly because Rupert really does stand out as an actor in this film, but I guess I’ll review it soon), then bought Harry Potter Film Wizardry as part of my birthday gift (next month) which is actually amazing. I’ve been doing heaps of course work today, mainly on Aboriginal Art which could be more interesting, but what can you do? From now on there isn’t a week where I don’t have an assessment task until the end of the school year (17th December… so far away!) which is rather scary but that’s what you get for the last year of high school.

Ah well, at least Deathly Hallows is out this week! It really feels sudden in comparison to the massive wait for Half Blood Prince but BOY am I excited. Re-reading the book, too. Good move on my part. Can’t wait!

I am currently in the midst of getting organised for school tomorrow. This is so depressing.

This last week of holidays has been pretty eventful, if I say so myself. Tuesday I went over to Dillan’s, we watched The Book Of Eli (which I loved – apocalypse’s will ALWAYS be a spot for me – hence my obsession with Chernobyl) and From Paris With Love (entertaining, LOVE JRM, lame ending), then chilled in the mall for a bit where we managed to see a lot of people from Dillan’s school (then again you always see someone up at the mall, regardless of how ‘uncool’ it is to be spotted there [this is the 'lame' mall, but its a block away from mine so we're always there]).

Wednesday was shocking. Met up with Emma, Maddie, Stacey and Stella, decided we’d be going to the beach but it was terrible weather so we were kind of inclined not to go, but went to the area anyway. Get there, it starts raining. Typical, huh? So we went to McDonalds for a bit, and once we were done went out again. Sky had cleared up, perfect weather. So we get to the beach, set up camp. I’d been feeling pretty shitty all day due to my female anatomy, but all of a sudden I became really dehydrated & sun-stroke-y & basically wanted to die. Decided to try get a drink, nearly faint on the way there. So had to get my Dad to pick me up, but long story short, no beaches for me for a while. And honestly, I’m perfectly fine with that.

Thursday was spent doing some form of ‘Best-of-Harry-Potter-thon’ with Dillan (didn’t feel like doing much, so just chilling at his with some good films was nice). Its still really bizarre how into Potter Dillan has been these past few weeks, but its pretttty sweet lmao. Friday was a really awesome day. Met up with Yasmin, Maddie and Stacey, went to the city. Met with AJ (Hugh was meant to come but ditched). Went back to the suburbs, found a pretty sweet coffee shop which we sat in for what seemed like ages. Then decided to sit in a park for a while, before going a few suburbs away for dinner. Chilled in a park that night, really sweet. It was a really relaxed way to spend the afternoon/night, with some of the greatest people. Shame Dillan had work, though. Got to see him Saturday, though, haha.

Spent Saturday in the city, bought Iron Man 2 & a few DVD’s for the family, as well as a few text books for school, and Graphic Design for Fashion (left) which I’ve read parts of but adore on instinct. I absolutely love graphic design texts, they’re always full of incredible inspiration, and this is essentially my two loves in one (design + fashion. Hopefully my future). But yeah, after all that Dillan came back to mine for dinner, which was nice. The mini-rivalry between him and my brother entertains me to no end (Dillan plays xbox, Jeremy plays PS3. Gamers and their rivalries… I tell you).

Sunday has been spent getting ready for school, & working (designing packaging, so actually mildly enjoyable work, as much as work sucks). I keep hearing everyone being all morbid over the fact that tomorrow we start the last year of high school, but really I don’t feel it. Its not that big of a deal, there is STILL a year to go. I don’t know, everything seems “serious” now, though for the past 2 years things have been rather “serious” and I have been rather numb to that (not in a bad way, I’ve gotten reasonably good marks). I guess now, before everything starts, people will freak out, but it’ll calm down. But I will work hard this year and I will make an effort (not to say I haven’t been doing so already), I will just do so in a calm and collected manner.

Anyway, got to get going. Wish me luck for school, I’m going to die – most likely from a bizarre sleeping pattern than anything.

I’m getting better at this blogging thing, it is Monday. Just last night I actually did something so I didn’t get a chance, and I really couldn’t be arsed at 2am to blog.

Anyway, the past week. First week of holidays. Could possibly be the most active holidays so far, just in that week. Monday I went over to Dillan’s, watched The Hangover and Ace Ventura 2 – it was my first time seeing The Hangover; I can definitely feel more included in life & understand people’s jokes now, haha. Good film, though! Tuesday, back at Dillan’s, he surprised me to hell and decided to watch Harry Potter, so we managed to watch the first 3 films that day. Wednesday I saw Christine (something I rarely get to do anyway, because we don’t sit together at school any more) – we watched Cherrybomb (she had been dying to see it), some bits of my HP Collectors Editions and this TV show, Miranda. It was a good day – lovely to see her. Made KILLER nachos, seriously, they ought to have won a medal for how amazing they were. Anyway, Thursday was back to finishing off the Potter films with Dillan, which has actually turned bizarre because all of a sudden he’s incredibly interested in the series. I mean, he never hated it, but was never particularly into it – now its all Potter jokes and references and quotes… its actually kind of brilliant, lmao.

Friday I actually don’t remember – mainly cos it was a day home. I believe I did spring clean & throw out a heap of clothes (I ought to go replace that but kind of poor). Saturday, well, was Saturday, lmao. I’ve taken to accepting that every Saturday, Dillan and I will go into the city. Its just how things are. We didn’t do much this time around, I don’t think, obviously bought magazines & looked at DVD’s and things. I actually seriously do not remember what we did on Saturday, its kind of scary. No wait, no, we went to a book store and chilled in there for hours.

Sunday was bizarre. So I start the day normal, do some work for Dad’s home business, then I get a message from Stella to go out to the city. So meet up with Stella & Dillan, go into the city. Never been in the city to hang out on a Sunday afternoon/night, it was so weird. Anyway, met up with Adrian, Max, Arnesh and Stephen (from camp), as well as Adrian’s friend Callum and a friend of his who I never met. We spent some time in a coffee shop for a while, then Stella wanted to go bowling, so… we went bowling! Spontaneous and so weird – Stella won. Afterwards we went to McDonald’s, most of us ate there except for Max who was dying to go to this Chinese restaurant, so after we were done there we went to his restaurant – it was so overpriced, reaching the bill was insane. But it was all good fun, good company. Even if it did rain & make me look like a crazy lady, lmao.

Anyway today was Labour Day, a public holiday, so Dillan and I decided to actually go back into the city again for the 3rd day in a row. He recently got an iPhone, so we bought him a case and a screen protector for it, played around a bit, walked to God knows where, just didn’t do much & relaxed. We’re actually kind of pathetic and run out of things to do, so if anyone has any suggestions ? haha. But yeah, no, it was a nice day.

Its a bit crazy how we’ve already passed a whole week of holidays. One more left! I do hope to make the best of it and be out of the house as much as I can. Although I will have a day of like, website work. I think this coming Sunday… it’ll force me to blog at least lmao. On Friday I managed to get my PC up to date with all the files relating to this site (after they all got lost in the Great Virus ’10), and I have started working on some resources to upload. Naturally a lot I had to put up have been lost, so I’m not sure what I’ll do there, maybe re-create but it obviously won’t be the same. If you have any requests, let me know!

I need to list things. I need to list a to-do list, which will involve lists of other things. Jesus, this isn’t right. I shouldn’t start to get organised in the middle of the holidays. It doesn’t work like that, lmao.
