A lot of people have told me I txt really fast. Cool.

This week has been pretty… blank, I guess. Nothing much has happened. On Monday both art classes went on an excursion to the Art Gallery of NSW to visit the Archibald Prize & look around. We got there (my art teacher was late so she txted me. Yeah, we’re FULLY tight now), chilled in the Domain for a while, went in & looked at the permanent collection – they COMPLETELY surprised me, having a Bacon piece (he’s my absolute FAVOURITE painter, so I naturally had a little spaz and danced around for a while. Then stopped and stared. I must have spent 5 minutes infront of that piece. It was Study for Self-Portrait (1978) btw). We then went in to view the exhibit for the prize… it was all so boring. Seriously, Australian artists SUCK.

It was an alright day, though, because our art teacher is completely easy-going and let us leave whenever and do whatever we wanted, the other teacher made her class look at cathedrals and all this other mumbojumbo… so Mel and I got Mountain Dew Voltage (♥) and chilled (& bitched), waiting for Christine. Saw Dillan that afternoon, too, so it was a good day in all.

What else? Dillan met my parents on Wednesday… he had to come over because he needed help with an assessment task (website creation, surprise surprise), so he met ‘em. Its always so awkward, pmsl. But I guess… yeah. He was quite impressed with the fact that I could type out div layers, so that made me feel good. Its always awesome when the people who’s judgement you care about likes what you do.

But yeah, other than that my week has been boring. So so boring. I got a pretty heavy head-cold, been home sick on Thursday & Friday. It was harsh. But it gave me a lot of free time, which I need. I even got to post a tutorial that I’d been meaning to post for a few months. I also got time to work on my art self portrait – it doesn’t look like me, but I’m kind of proud of the art-y stuff, like art practise & that. I don’t know, I hate drawing me.

It was also Mum’s birthday over the week, on Thursday. Last night we went out to dinner at a Leagues club for her (with some family friends), which… well, I don’t really like going to that club so I didn’t quiet enjoy myself, and the other family kept on trying to get me to eat (and I don’t eat large amounts) so that was annoying, but Mum enjoyed herself which is good. Also saw the grandparents today, so. I don’t even know how old Mum is now, haha. Such a bad daughter, I know.

I’m kind of dying – I haven’t made a layout in ages (not since this one went online). I haven’t done anything web-savvy (save that tutorial) in ages and I need to do something. But what? My problem exactly. Lord. I’m going mental.

I’m going to end this, but does anyone here listen to The Twang? And then, do any of you agree with me when I say they sound like Men At Work? Seriously… lmao.

I am so unmotivated at the moment. I’m in those moods where you just can’t do anything other than make lists of what you should do.

The weekend… Easter, wasn’t it? Yeah. Saturday Dillan & I went to the Royal Sydney Easter Show – they hold it once a year and have stuff like shows, animals, rides, foods, stuff like that. It was pretty fun. We spent a lot of the day faffing about, typically it started pouring rain the second we arrived. But after that it was fine. Apparently my mate Lilli was in the parade dressed up as a banana, I would have killed to had seen that. Shame we missed it. We also went and saw the main show at the end, saw a bit of rodeo (random), stunt driving which would have been more awesome if it didn’t start raining so that A) we didn’t get dripping wet & freezing and B) the tracks didn’t get so muddy so they could do their tricks properly. The motorcross guys had the same issue, but they maned up and put on a BRILLIANT show. Sometimes I really forget how much I love Motorcross. After that they had some car-eating robot dinosaur thing which was kinda lame but the fire it expelled from its nostrils was nice and warm, lmfao.

Sunday was Easter Sunday – got a heap of chocolate I haven’t even started to eat yet, and… thats about it. We didn’t really do anything at all. On the Saturday before when I was out, my parents had some mates of theirs over for dinner, so I guess that was our contribution to Easter celebrations for this year.

Monday, Belle and Christine came around for a little movie marathon day. We watched Iron Man (neither of them had seen it, which is shameful) and then played Sims 3 for a bit, pissing ourselves laughing at every second thing our sims would do. Sims is genuinely a lot funnier when with other people. We also watched a bit of X-Men but then another lot of family friends came over so they had to leave. Lame. Wednesday I had a similar day over at Dillans, watched Shawn of the Dead (which proves to just get funnier and funnier every time you watch it) and Gamer, I think. I don’t care, I know its a lame movie, but I like Gerard Butler so.

Thursday (yesterday) was a very fun day. My friend Jess who I’ve known for years but lives 3 hours away came up, and we had a BLAST. We basically spent a lot of the day shopping (I got this lovely denim vest thing thats very 80′s punk, amongst other things) and walking around, reminding eachother of ridiculous things from when we were kids and pissing ourselves laughing over it. Its so lovely when she comes up, because I do miss her and she probably is my best mate, so. Later that day (after Jess had to go back), I went to the hairdressers. You can see for yourself what the hair is like (image to the left), except its actually not that purple/red, more brown in person, but y’know how cellphone cameras are like. I’m actually pretty happy with it at the moment, which is rare.

Gosh, heaps of things have been happening. I don’t even understand why. I am pretty boring, after all. I guess holidays are pretty good this time around. Even if I have an upper respiratory tract infection and cough like a mad man. And even if some people have really pissed me off. But, y’know, that’s females for you. Seriously, girls can be so bitchy. Whatever.

Oh yeah, new layout. I actually made & coded this on Easter Sunday, lmfao. I actually kind of like it. Woohoo Iron Man! But yeah, I’m going to leave you and continue listening to the new Two Door Cinema Club album which I’m LOVING because I LOVE them.

Tra la la la la its Friday time! Which means I’ve watched Skins (Katies ep – which was amazing. Not as good as Cooks, though) and done my things & ready to blog about!

Well, this week, eh? The weekend & Monday was spent getting rid of the swelling on my face. Mum actually took me to the hospital, she was so worried about it. 3 hours in the waiting room & 5 with a doctor. Lovely how our health system works. But yeah, other than that I was fine. The swelling was gone by Monday, and most of the sun-damaged skin has peeled off/faded, which is important. Still, I’ve had to wear my fringe again (I cannot explain in human words how much I hate wearing it out. Its so damn annoying.) & heaps of sunscreen to prevent any more damage. I’m really not built to live in Australia, not with this climate & my lack of heat tolerance.

Other than that, my week has been extremely boring. Just school & homework & faffing about online – sites like Texts from Last Night & Not Always Right don’t really keep me busy, but when its no use starting up anything in PS, they serve as good time fillers. Actually, I don’t always like those kinds of sites, like FML & MLIA. ESPECIALLY not MLIA – it was alright when I first found it & that, but then it got popular. The popularity isn’t my problem, its the fact that all the stories are now all the same, and, more often than not, fake.

Ergh, I shouldn’t rant so much here, but really its a lot of what I think of. I’m really annoyed at my group at the moment; though I do say that a lot. What this time, then? Well, for the past week they’ve been organising to go to this U18′s club tonight, but naturally haven’t told us about it. I mean, I winged a little to Harriet when she accidental called me (thinking I was another Cassie), but she’s all “oh no, you’re invited, you’re part of this group, we want you there!” Yeah, likely, seeing as we were asked if we wanted to go, and we were told their plans for organising it. They probably expected us (Christine, Melanie & I) to say we didn’t want to go, but just presuming? Its rude. They’re ignorant.

Lets talk about something different. Oh yeah, remember when I mentioned a few blogs ago about a class studying Twilight? We’re going to have to, too. In English, we’re studying gothic literature, and we’ll be juxtaposing two texts. One of which is Henry James’ The Turn of the Screw, and, well, the second is the Twilight film. I’m kind of annoyed that Twilight is coming into our education system (where as Harry Potter is yet to be seen), but it could be worse. Our teacher hates the Twilight film/book/franchise, so its not like it’ll be glorified, and the film does have Jackson Rathbone in it (who I’ve fancied ever since his appearance in Criminal Minds), but still. The world is ending, I’m telling you.

Well, another issue of Computer Arts has arrived, so I’m going to return comments and read that. Fun!

I’m meant to be at Jess’ birthday dinner right now. But I’m not. I’ll get to that.

Anyway, on Monday I got a new monitor. Its 24″. Its MASSIVE. This is a snap-shot Tumblr, as seen by me on this screen. The to-scale image was too big to be uploaded on TINYPIC. That’s saying something. I’m getting used to it, though. The contrast settings & such are a little different, so if my layouts & such change, you’ll know why.

What else? Wednesday was my school’s sports carnival. For those who don’t know, its basically a day where our school packs up its gear and heads off to the pool, hosting a range of aquatic races, best dressed (in house colours/themed outfits) competitions and cheer competitions. This year wasn’t actually that bad – we made our own fun. Christine (who’s aqua-phobic) & I didn’t swim (never have, never will), but we did go in best dressed – despite not being dressed up. We photo bombed the photos. It was amazing. We also helped my house (Christine isn’t even IN mine, but she stuck with us lmao) with the cheers – by raving up at the front while they did their cheers. Naturally we came last in the cheers, pmsl. I don’t care, my dancing is amazing. Its all I did. All day. Killer moves. Awesome. Told Mr C. it was all I was good at. Probably true.

What else? Yeah, I got pretty badly sunburnt at the pool. Well, no, not badly actually. Just average. But its been bad afterwards. See, I burnt my face (forehead, nose & cheeks a little) but it was all ok and recovering and stuff. Nothing big, nothing bad. No peeling. Nothing. But still, seeing as today was SO hot (about 38°C/100°F), it got all inflamed and irritated again. Basically, I was sitting on the new area at school like always (its kind of under this tree, but seeing as the tree is pretty high up, the shade is really patchy. But people in “my group” can be dominating bitches and make us sit there because its “nicer”) and then all of a sudden Belle’s like, ‘Holy Lord, your forehead is swollen!’ Scary, right? Being so close to the brain and all. So I went home & to the doctors and she basically said that it was inflamed sunburn and because of the heat and everything, it just all swelled up. Nothing big. Which is good. Still, mental. So yes, that is why I’m not with Jess as I’m meant to. But as I’ve probably mentioned, “my group” is complicated and I’m hoping us un-cool rejects (or as we’re made to feel, anyway) revolt soon. Or I may just explode.

Also, I look like an Na’vi with this swelling. Its right in between my eyes, making me look like Jake Sully’s avatar. I keep doing the ‘I see you’ thing to Mum. I have too much dorky fun sometimes.

Nothing new has been up. How lame. It feels like I’ve had a really busy week, but when I think about it, I haven’t. I’ve got fanlistings to make. New layouts to do. Art. I really want to be an artist this year. I want to create. I want to be amazing. I want a talent. Something really struck me this week (its really lame so I won’t say what) and I’m like, ‘what am I doing with all this?!’ Heaps of self-confidence things have also been up all week, but I think thats just PMS and I usually just keep it to myself.

GAH blog is getting too personal. Running away.

(Also, last nights Skins was incredible. I love Cook. The end)

This past week has been simultaneously eventful and boring. The weekend was spent essentially watching Skins, but Dad also decided to upgrade my hard drive and DVD drive so had some nice quality time with the father. Which never happens (I’m not sporty, see). So now I have heaps of space which is great because I was down to like, 3GB and you always need 3GB on your hard drive so that temp files can run (like unsaved things, etc).

Then on Monday, I woke up stupidly early due to me needing to pee, so I get up, go to the back bathroom, do my business, then next thing I know I’m being pulled up from the floor. Apparently, I’d fainted. According to Mum, it was due to a mix of low blood pressure, humidity, lack of iron and so on. It was kind of scary, not the fact that I’d fainted, the fact that I didn’t know what had happened. No remembering is probably the scariest thing in the world. But I’m ok now. The lump on my head from hitting either the bath or the magazine stack (yeah, we have one in our bathroom, lmao. Probably the best part of the house) has gone, as is the bruising. And all the mosquito bites I’ve accumulated over the week are dying down which is great. We all know how prone to those bitchy bites I am. So I’m all nice and dandy now. Lovely.

Its finally gotten to that stage of holidays when I’ve been doing so little, I’m struggling to find things to blog about. I mean, it is probably a lot of my fault – I probably should ask people to hang out or whatever, but I get really discouraged when I see them all out together without me. Its like, well they’d either invite me out if they wanted to see me, or if I asked people to hang out, they’d already be busy. So I don’t ask people to hang out & get more lonely & it does suck, to be honest. But this blog will not be about that and I’ll start a new paragraph now.

I finally finished Through the Looking Glass a few nights ago. To be honest, I liked Alice in Wonderland more. Then again, I’ve been sitting on Looking Glass for about a month, never really trying to finish, and half-dreading reading it when I did have time (I’ve got about 3 graphic novels + 3/4 fiction books to read which I’m a bit more interested in). But I’m glad I’ve read it because when the new Tim Burton film is out, I’ll understand it more. The next thing I’ll read will probably be finish whichever graphic novel I’ve started (there are probably a few, lmao) then get onto ‘Wolverine: Not Dead Yet‘. TOPS!

I’ve got nothing left to blog about, so I’ll leave you with the new Skins 4 trailer. Skins 4 starts on the 28th, which is the day I go back to school, so its good timing. No doubt school will bring stress and anxiety from seeing everyone again, so this to relax with is good.
