Song: Mr. Chainsaw – Alkaline Trio
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.

On Sunday I went with Christine, Naomi and Shivani to see the Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus. It is such a good film. I adore Lily Cole. If you get the chance, watch it! Its really trippy at times, but its really awesome. The SFX were really interesting, and the story itself is really good. It would probably make a lot more sense, though, if we saw the beginning (we missed it buying candy, lmao.) After, we went to a book store and I got Handling the Undead (by John Ajvide Lindqvist – he also wrote Let The Right One In which I loved) and a Wolverine graphic novel. I also got my Kris Kringle gift. After we went back to our local shopping mall and just hung out, seeing our teachers at the Latin Store (that place is strange – but SO COOL! It has a stuffed lama in the front of it).
Monday and Tuesday were nothing much, Wednesday was formal. Wheeee formal. So many people were so excited for it, they’d been looking forward for it for like, 6 months. I’d only decided to actually go 2 weeks ago, so it wasn’t that big of a deal. My dress (ordered from England) came the monday before, and Mum & I had gone to get shoes etc. the Saturday before. 
Anyway, after I went to the place in Stacey’s Mum’s boyfriend’s Monaro. My god it was a beautiful car. I was sat at a table with Stacey and her date Jared, Emma and her boyfriend Griffin (?), Maddie and her friend (Jake?), and I think Kelly and Fiona and their dates. I was the only one without a date. It was kinda upsetting, but whatever. Not everyone had dates so its ok. Just sucked that I was the third wheel (in a group of 11…). But no, it was good, the food was tasty (even if it did look odd and I wasn’t quite sure what it was) and the place looked really nice. Basically we got there, took an official photo (Melanie, Belle and I), sat down, ate, got up and took a bunch of photos, ate main course, more photos (and photobombing! WHEEEE! Love doing that so bloody much), desert and awards (didn’t win anything, surprise surprise), then dancing for the rest of the evening! I danced on and off, my feet were sore and it was rather hot. The sweaty look is never cool.
