Violence – Blink 182

Its surprising how time goes during holidays. Each day feels like it drags on forever, but when you think of a week, it feels like a heartbeat.

On Sunday Mum took me to the store & I bought a new pair of shorts (I need to adjust them, though. Cos they were on sale they were a size too big so I need to hem the ends) and a lovely fake sheepskin vest. Its brilliant & I wore them to see Maddie on Monday for coffee. It was lovely to see her because I hadn’t in a while and we always seem to be able to talk for hours. Thursday I also got to catch up with Christine & Melanie – we didn’t do much, just caught up, but I did buy that birdcage & candle, and a few new posters. I redid my posters last night, I believe. Throughout the week I also kept up my magazine hoarding habits.

I’ve actually read a lot these holidays. Finished reading my English text, Romulus, My Father & am now reading Scar Tissue (also for English). Accomplishing a lot!

The days that I don’t do anything significant are usually laced with video games (The Sims 3 & Fallout New Vegas, namely), trips to the shops with my brother, and re-watching films. Oh and a lot of How I met Your Mother. Pretty standard, lazy stuff. Naturally I’ve been missing Dillan a lot, but this weekend I have heard from him a lot more than expected, so that’s been nice. He’s back in 4 weeks.

Just 3 weeks left. Daunting.

Heavy Water – Foals

This place really needs a new layout. The current one doesn’t seem to really like the photo posts that I’ve taken to doing. Oh well.

On Friday it was my 17th birthday. Its actually been one of the best birthdays I can remember; at school I was greeted with cards (including a very witty version of Seventeen magazine – I was on the cover cos I was, y’know, 17), flowers (white roses from Naoms), Hunger Games from Christine and a watermelon (for the past year Stacey has been walking past this watermelon stand & I asked for one for my next birthday, and she delivered. So much fun, cutting it open & eating it at school – naturally ended up in mess !). Noams & I also had a free period that day, so we ran around the school taking photos – girly, but fun. That night I went out to dinner with Maddie, Stacey, Stella and Yasmin which was lovely – we got all dressed fancy in heels & such and it was a lovely time.

Saturday I went out with Dillan & spent the whole day with him. We needed to get him some things, but after that we just did whatever. He bought me a Living Dead Doll (I have an affinity towards collectable dolls, which naturally means I’ll be mental when I’m old) which is creepy and yet amazing, she also came with a dagger necklace which I’m going to enjoy wearing. I also got myself a bunch of magazines as my own gift – cos you know how I am.

But yeah, its actually been a really good birthday. Quiet, subtle, but I guess that’s how I like things. No mess to clean, y’know? Now all I have to look forward to is a 4 more assessments and then summer!

Silvia 2 Ibiza (Myndset Mashup) – SHM vs. Miike Snow

Over this past week I’ve tried so hard not to stress but it seems impossible. Today has been entirely devoted to doing Visual Arts coursework and seriously, its such a bitch. I’m one of the lucky ones who managed to do some progressively, so I feel so so so sorry for those who left it all to this weekend.

On Thursday my geography class went on a school trip the the Blue Mountains. It was beyond fun; our tour guide Darren was ever so charming, our class works so well, we got to do a lot of really awesome things (ride the steepest vertical rail way in the world – which I will admit freaked me to hell) and eat some pretty nice food and it was just a really good day.

Other weekly highlights include seeing Due Date (there isn’t a world in which Robert Downey Jnr is unattractive), Loretta’s birthday on Monday, Jeremy’s (my brother) birthday on Thursday andddd… yeah really, that’s it.

Also, any Australians tried the new V Iced Coffee? I don’t know if I like it or not… seems not strong enough.

But anyway, this coming week will be hell. Study study study and my birthday… 17, the year of telling the truth (according to Maxxie (Skins)). Yeah dreading my birthday already. FUN ! haha

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!

Man Overboard – Blink 182

Boring week gets photo post. I might do these more often soon. The past week has just been a standard mix of school, seeing Dillan and seeing small art exhibitions with my class. Saturday I was meant to see some friends that I haven’t for a few years, but cos it was so rainy, we rescheduled to next Sunday. Today (Sunday) Mum took me to buy a new school bag, wallet and some other things (amazing lipstick, I’ll show soon enough !). Still, life is busy and goes on.
