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.

Zomby – Pillz

This is my last week of Summer. Tomorrow I’m back at school, aiming at completing my final year of high school. By September, I’ll be a graduate. By November, no more high school exams ever. Next January, I’ll (hopefully) be accepted into University. And to think, I’ve known some of the same bloggers than I did when I first started highschool.

This week hasn’t been all that much. Wednesday, Australia Day, I went with my family to some family friends – one of which is also a teacher at my school. Luckily she’s only had my class once (don’t remember it though), and she teaches Science, which I don’t take. So not too awkward. But yeah, that’s really the only time I went out. Naturally I was meant to be out this weekend, but out of lack of organisation, and my annoying headcold (yeah, thanks Dad for that), neither plans happened. But its ok, I should be in fine health by tomorrow morning, and if not… well, we’ll get to that.

Big thing this week though; the new Skins! (Spoiler warning) To be honest, I liked it. I have no bias in terms of generations, so a new cast was interesting. It does seem a bit clique-y, but regardless, it was an interesting take because in previous Skins, things like Facebook (or Friendlook, either way) weren’t prominent. But I really liked Frankie, she’s actually gorgeous and I adore her style, and I’d love to see more of Matty (the gun guy – although you never found out his name [thanks E4!]). Rick also seems cool, and he is technically supposed to be the guy I like, but he’s just lacking to me. I don’t know why. Oh well, Matty will be mine to love forever.

Anyway, I guess this past week of bumming around, watching films, playing Sims, downloading heaps of music & building fanlistings turned out to be a good way to spend the week. There was a big party last night that I wasn’t invited to (I hardly know the guy, so I’m not resentful) which I’m sure I’ll hear all about tomorrow. At least its the last week without Dillan.

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.
