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!

Song: All In My Head – Good Shoes

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!

Song: Undercover Martyn – Two Door Cinema Club

I just came back from a ridiculously long dinner with my brothers friend’s family, who I don’t really like or whatever, so I’m rather tired, so this will be interesting.

School is now in full swing, as is the gossip and bitching and so on. You can’t escape it, really. I don’t know, I don’t really have anything interesting to say about school, but really its the only interesting thing that’s happened this week. This week has been so slow and boring and yeah. I seriously have so little going on in my mind about the past week.

Oh yeah, that’s right, we had school photos. Now, I’m not sure what the hell I looked like, so it could be interesting to see, but I doubt it. School photos are designed to make you look bad. Its like law; you can’t look good no matter how hard you try. I have no idea when we’re getting them back, but I can tell you I’m not looking forward to it.

I’ve been trying to get back into reading now that school’s starting up, I’ve started Handling the Undead by John Ajvide Lindqvist (Let The Right One In) and only got like, less than a few chapters in, and then we got a novel to read for English class, which sucks (I hate when that happens – you start a novel then have to drop it to get class reading done). Its Henry James’ Turn of the Screw (which I keep on calling in my mind ‘the Taming of the Shrew’, damn you, Shakespeare!), so its not like its bad or whatever, just annoying. Still, could be worse. Apparently ‘Twilight‘ may be on the reading list for Gender Studies. Not going to diss the book out of respect for those who like it, but… really? And not Potter? Surely Hermione is a tad more interesting, being all ‘GIRL POWER!’ and that. But hey, I don’t run to coarse, or do it for that matter.

I’m worried about not having anything to say. I don’t want to turn this into a Skins blog every week, but it airs on the day I blog so I’m thinking about it a lot. Oh well, I’ll talk about it anyway. Spoilers. You know the drill. OMGTONIGHTSWASSOGOOD. I love Emily, so its great that it was about her, but I think she’ll be a bit more annoying this season. She was so endearing when she was a doormat. But still. Naomi. Gorgeous as hell, but WHATWASSHETHINKING! I mean, I love Naomi’s poison, it creates drama and everything, but poor Ems! I loved James (Fitch, not Cook), dressed in Katie’s clothes. I actually wish there was more Katie in this series, she’s only had like, 3 appearances so far. Also, COOKWTFWHYYOUHITONJJ?!?!? I love Cook more, but JJ did nothing man! And Effie, being all HBIC. I think she’s getting a bit of the ~mystery and ~coolness from the first season. She’d lost that completely last season, and now she’s being all ~all of a sudden in a chair~ and such. I wish she’d cut talking though. Mutes are cool.

/skins spam.

I need a shower. Goodnight.
