Hawaiin Air – Friendly Fires

I am currently some way through the last week of the second term of school. The rest of this week, then break for 2. You have no idea how much I am looking forward to it.

Its been kind of exciting lately. Friday night was fun, Tiffany came over for a while, then we went out. All the uni exams are done so I get to see those guys (Tiffany, Luke, etc) more. Saturday had a cute little session at Samantha’s, and Sunday had a cute date with Chrystal. We went to these abandoned tram yards which (as you can see) have been trashed and graffiti-ed and such. I had to get her to model for my art major work, so got a lot of great shots and such. Its such a scenic place. Afterwards we went to a cute cafe and went to see X-Men First Class (which is the most exciting film I’ve seen for such a long time).

The rest of my time lately has been governed by assessments (which are all done for the term, so cheerin’), downloading new music (Manchester Orchestra, Friendly Fires, The Dodos, Cat Power, Florence & the Machine, Arctic Monkeys (♥), and Frank Turner all now hold new or updates places in my life), and sorting out life. Should be getting a new phone soon, so hopes up for that.

I just need holidays nowwww !

If You Wanna – The Vaccines

1. My room !
2. Me as a woman, Maddie as a man, and Stacey as… herself
3. Underoath playin’

This week has been so full on. A lot of it has been school based; drama got worse and will probably stay bad for a while, but it isn’t fair to explain it here. Also had a pretty big English assessment on Friday, so the whole week was dedicated to studying Hamlet, which isn’t a lot of fun. But y’know. Along with all of that there has been all the renovations; my wardrobe FINALLY got doors on it! You can kind of see them above, with all the work done I also re-decorated my room a little bit; a lot more minimalistic. The kitchen is done too, might photograph that soon.

Friday was ace as hell. A Day To Remember and Underoath at Luna Park ! Went in with Maddie, Stacey, Luke and Lachlan, my brother was there too. Got there a bit early so I could conquer my fear of the ferris wheel (I OWN that thing now), and got to see my other mates Michael and Dan too. Got in, watched Underoath from a far because none of my friends liked them, but they put on a pretty decent show. ADTR were better than expected, played some good songs (Mr. Highway’s Thinking About The End was ACE), and their mosh was pretty fun – not as hardcore as I expected so when I got lost on my own it was easy enough to deal with. But yeah, it was such a good night.

Weekend was tame enough. I saw Thor today with Naomi; it wasn’t extraordinary (although the effects were SO well done – for the most part) but as an Avengers fangirl, it was really awesome. Also got a couple of magazines and such, short yet sweet time with her.

Life is so busy lately. I’m going to be dead at the end of the year at this rate.

Generator 2nd Floor – Freelance Whales

Firstly, this post will be long, so I apologise now.

Basically, my week was rather mundane. Friday night with the girls (Stella, Loretta & Yasmin) after a week full of friendship drama. We went to an Asian restaurant which made the best spring rolls you’ll ever eat, then went to a chocolate coffeeshop thing (Max Brenner, if that means anything to anyone), and then saw No Strings Attached, which I actually really enjoyed. Ashton Kutcher works for me now, he’s pretty ace.

But the best part of the week (and reason for late blog) was Soundwave…

I went with Maddie, Emma (+ her boyf & Ryan & occasionally their mates), Stacey, Rhi & Caitlin, but also saw my friend who lives two hours away, Jess, and some of her friends again (Ash, Tom, Dani). In total I saw 11 acts, Bayside, Sum 41, Bullet for my Valentine, Blessthefall, Dimmu Borgir, 30 Second to Mars, New Found Glory, Mad Caddies, The Maine, The Blackout & Mayday Parade (not including the ends of some acts, beginnings of others, etc). Of course my favourite was Bayside (WHO I MET, so excuse my dickhead face because that band means the world to me) (I also found the guy I was next to in the mosh on Tumblr… the world these days), but Blessthefall were quite great too. And The Blackout were pretty amazing live too. But it was an INCREDIBLE day, I hurt everywhere because of the moshes, and I lost my watch that I’ve had for 7 years at Mayday Parade, but its worth it.

So my weekend was basically incredible. I am happy as HELL right now.

Radar Detector (Xaphoon Jones Remix) – Darwin Deez

This week was actually fun AND productive. The days that I stayed at home, I cleaned out my draws in my room, my wardrobe… just threw out SO MUCH junk. Even re-did my pinboard. Saved a bunch of stuff for shits & giggles for when I’m older, but hopefully things’ll be more organised now.

When I was out, it was pretty ace. Wednesday night I saw The Tourist with Victoria; we chilled out in the mall a bit, catching up and stuff. It was lovely. Thursday, met up with Stacey, Maddie, Stella and Rhiana (Stacey’s cousin) & saw Burlesque (review when I can be bothered), then chilled back at hers watching crappy MTV & talking supernatural shit with Grant. Sunday – and this is why this blog is coming a day late – I went into the city with Naomi. Chilled out a bit, watched a beautiful band busk; they’re called Set Sail & you can see their FB here – they’re worth it, seriously. Anyway, went back to hers, met up with her friends (Anna, Daniel, Victor & Luke), played board games, chilled in parks, etc etc. Naomi, Victor & I pulled an all nighter, which naturally lead to us drawing ridiculous make-up on Victor. Poor boy, poor poor boy.

But yes, as you can tell I’ve collected a bunch of belongings this week too; i-D, some bracelets, some lipstick & these Chanel rip sunglasses which I love and feel about 10 years older in. So yeah, good week. Only 1 more week until school starts, and 2 weeks before Dillan returns. Should be good.

I think I may be getting sick. Blame Dillan. Swine.

I have my preliminary examinations starting in a week and a half. I am stressed more than anyone could actually anticipate. I guess cos they’re essentially yearlies (year 11 only goes for 3 terms, by October I’ll be in year 12), they’re SO overwhelming. But I’m working, I spent a lot of the weekend making notes (namely for art, English and Software Design) and stuff. I don’t know, right now I can’t bring myself to study. Mainly cos my feet absolutely kill and make me want to chop them off.

I haven’t really talked about this before, because its not really my place to, but a friend of mine (Naomi) has gone through a really stressful month, and, for family reasons, yesterday she moved to Spain (to live). I don’t really see her a lot anymore (after switching groups) but she’s still a good friend so on Friday, the night before she left, her friends organized a going away party for her, which I obviously attended. Dillan managed to come along this time too, which was really great. The night was nice, if not a little awkward. I mean, it wasn’t like a party because it was a farewell, but because Naomi’s friends are all so different, there was a lot of grouping off which didn’t leave good impressions, especially since Dillan & I couldn’t really find people to stick with. But I guess it was ok too because we both had incredibly bad headaches (well that’s the scale of mine at any rate). But other than that it was a really nice night to say goodbye to her, I can’t imagine starting a new life at 17 in another country (especially since she can’t speak Spanish). I’ll miss her.

I seriously hate me so much. Whenever it is exam time, I get the most creatively inspired. I can never get this inspired other times, and I have no way to channel this because I need to study. Ahhhh.

Anyway, big talk recently with Social. Yeah this time I’m just giving in and going, not trying to avoid it because I know in the end I won’t, and if I do I’ll regret it. Mum let me buy my dress online again, soon this beauty will be mine. Just need shoes (which is proving to be a problem because I find any heel under 3″ awkward, yet if I wore proper heels, I’ll be taller than Dillan. Dilemma.). Yeah, as you can see all the studying I need to do isn’t really getting done.

It has been so long since I’ve run out of things to blog about but this week seriously… I mean, its not for a lack of things going on, just, y’know how there are things you don’t want to mention online? Yeah, its all that. Although, amongst all the drama, I did discover a little hidden Asian grocery store (discover is the wrong word, cos I always knew it was there, just not what was in it haha) that sells this amazing blueberry flavoured iced tea. It actually makes my life complete. So yes. That is my cool story.

You know what, I’m just going to end this because I don’t feel like talking about anything else.

Actually, I don’t know if I ever mentioned but I’m going to Soundwave 2011! I don’t think any human can comprehend how excited that makes me, because motherfucking BAYSIDE are playing. Anyone who knows me will know they are my deadset favourite band. I’m going with my friend Jess (y’know, the one who lives 2 hours away) and her friends, and most probably Dillan. Its going to be so great, I’m so excited!

Ok NOW I don’t have anything to talk about.
