Song: Underneath the Sky – Oasis

Wow, for once I actually have things to blog about. No time for an introduction!

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. This is what my outfit looked like. But anyway, we had pre-drinks (which wasn’t like, drinks drinks) at Lily’s place (image!) which involved a lot of girls squealing and a lot of complaining about sore feet. And parents taking photos. Odd.

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.

All in all, it was a good night. What made it better was the teachers letting us off school for the rest of the week, and on our last day we only need to turn up at 12 to pick up exam results. Which is bloody brilliant (no school, as if that can ever be bad!). I’ve spent quite a bit of time watching my Ultimate Collectors Edition Harry Potter 1 & 2 DVD’s which arrived Tuesday (they were my birthday gift), and they’re awesome.

This blog is really long and I’m sorry about that. Seeing as I’ll be on holidays now, what kind of visitor content do we want? I’m thinking tutorials but I’m not sure what people would like (graphic/coding/program tips/etc). So any advice on that would be great!

Song: I’m Not Sorry – The Pigeon Detectives

Oh my, late for blogthings. Woe.

Been back at school this past week. I don’t know what the hardest part is, the realisation that homework and classes exist, having to put up with everyone raving on about their amazing holidays and realising yours was shit, or waking up every morning at 6:30. Probably the last one because I’ve been incredibly tired. But whatever. At least I can sleep again, and sleep is always a good thing.

I’m already sick of this year. Well, term. But its a 9 week term so thats cool. And after major exams in three weeks, I’ll have nothing to do in class. Well, save my art classes (because I don’t have exams for them). But I’m working to convince my teachers to just let us watch films. Like, in science its well established we’ll be watching X-Men (I finally have all the DVD’s now. I’m so so so happy about that). I’m working around on my other teachers. Don’t think they like me enough/are push overs enough to comply, though, pmsl.

What else? I had a dance-off on Friday. Well, it wasn’t like a dance-off dance-off, it was Christine & I trying to out-boy-band each other, pmsl. We ‘performed’ our dances twice and I won both times. Naturally. I dance like a menace *busts some killer daggy moves*. But yeah. That was the highlight of my week.

I’m getting back into sketching lately. Its strange, in a way. I mean, I didn’t think I could do it, sketch well, I mean. Not saying I’m amazing… just, these aren’t that bad. Like these of Bonnie Wright and these of Grint. They’re not all over the place. Its strange. I don’t know.

Nothing else interesting has happened. Which kind of sucks because I don’t know what to write now. I should be finally getting a tablet tomorrow. Which is cool. I can be artsy again. I’m also reading Alice in Wonderland now. Its taken me enough time to finally pick up a book again, pmsl.

You know what? Lets just stop trying. I’m going to end this blog now. Christ.
