Song: Something Good Can Work – Two Door Cinema Club
I am so unmotivated at the moment. I’m in those moods where you just can’t do anything other than make lists of what you should do.
The weekend… Easter, wasn’t it? Yeah. Saturday Dillan & I went to the Royal Sydney Easter Show – they hold it once a year and have stuff like shows, animals, rides, foods, stuff like that. It was pretty fun. We spent a lot of the day faffing about, typically it started pouring rain the second we arrived. But after that it was fine. Apparently my mate Lilli was in the parade dressed up as a banana, I would have killed to had seen that. Shame we missed it. We also went and saw the main show at the end, saw a bit of rodeo (random), stunt driving which would have been more awesome if it didn’t start raining so that A) we didn’t get dripping wet & freezing and B) the tracks didn’t get so muddy so they could do their tricks properly. The motorcross guys had the same issue, but they maned up and put on a BRILLIANT show. Sometimes I really forget how much I love Motorcross. After that they had some car-eating robot dinosaur thing which was kinda lame but the fire it expelled from its nostrils was nice and warm, lmfao.
Sunday was Easter Sunday – got a heap of chocolate I haven’t even started to eat yet, and… thats about it. We didn’t really do anything at all. On the Saturday before when I was out, my parents had some mates of theirs over for dinner, so I guess that was our contribution to Easter celebrations for this year.
Monday, Belle and Christine came around for a little movie marathon day. We watched Iron Man (neither of them had seen it, which is shameful) and then played Sims 3 for a bit, pissing ourselves laughing at every second thing our sims would do. Sims is genuinely a lot funnier when with other people. We also watched a bit of X-Men but then another lot of family friends came over so they had to leave. Lame. Wednesday I had a similar day over at Dillans, watched Shawn of the Dead (which proves to just get funnier and funnier every time you watch it) and Gamer, I think. I don’t care, I know its a lame movie, but I like Gerard Butler so.
Thursday (yesterday) was a very fun day. My friend Jess who I’ve known for years but lives 3 hours away came up, and we had a BLAST. We basically spent a lot of the day shopping (I got this lovely denim vest thing thats very 80′s punk, amongst other things) and walking around, reminding eachother of ridiculous things from when we were kids and pissing ourselves laughing over it. Its so lovely when she comes up, because I do miss her and she probably is my best mate, so. Later that day (after Jess had to go back), I went to the hairdressers. You can see for yourself what the hair is like (image to the left), except its actually not that purple/red, more brown in person, but y’know how cellphone cameras are like. I’m actually pretty happy with it at the moment, which is rare.
Gosh, heaps of things have been happening. I don’t even understand why. I am pretty boring, after all. I guess holidays are pretty good this time around. Even if I have an upper respiratory tract infection and cough like a mad man. And even if some people have really pissed me off. But, y’know, that’s females for you. Seriously, girls can be so bitchy. Whatever.
Oh yeah, new layout. I actually made & coded this on Easter Sunday, lmfao. I actually kind of like it. Woohoo Iron Man! But yeah, I’m going to leave you and continue listening to the new Two Door Cinema Club album which I’m LOVING because I LOVE them.
Lets start where we left, shall we? Mardi Gras. That is a photo mainly to show what I wore (red high tops, stockings, a sequence shirt/dress thing, cardigan, leather jacket & scarf (no, it wasn’t warm)), considering that’s more interesting than the half-photos from the night. We didn’t see the parade or anything like that, we just sort of hung out around the place. Spent most of the night with Camilla & this lovely guy, Dillan, who I have a date with tomorrow (!!!). So yeah, I had a good time, despite the low points (well, the low point – I was hit on by another girl. I’m not homophobic or anything (believe me), and I’d have the same reaction if I were hit on by a physically unattractive male (considering that I’m not physically attracted to girls), but she was just a little bit weird, so it was strange. I don’t know. I suppose I was asking for it, going to Mardi Gras, but its still just unexpected and a little awkward. But I guess it’ll be the same awkward if I hit on a gay man, so).
As it is still holidays and will be until late January, I haven’t been doing much. I did see Avatar, though. I saw it on Monday with Belle, Michelle and her friend (remember the new friend I made that I posted about before?) but we couldn’t find them (bad organisation on our part). Turns out they came rather late anyway. But whatever, the movie was amazing. The scenery and the world of Pandora they had created was incredible, the detail so amazing. The storyline was FULL of social comments about history and foresting and such but I mean, it was true and honest. And the CG was awesome. We saw the film in 3D too, so if you get a chance make sure you watch it in 3D. It looks so natural and real (well, as real as it could get haha).
Moving along from my health issues, I got this bad boy on Tuesday. It actually came out this Wednesday, but I got it early because I pre-ordered it. Mum also pre-ordered me the Ultimate Collectors Editions for films 1 & 2, which comes out (in Australia) on Dec. 2, a day before my birthday, so its all perfect. Australia has actually had it pretty good, we get the HBP DVD like, 20 days earlier than the US, and the collectors editions a week and a bit, I think. Moving on, the DVD is so good. I forgot how much I loved this film. GOD Rupert, Tom & Frank Dillane (teen Voldemort) kill me. Oh and Hero Tiffin-Fiennes (young Voldey), but not in a ‘oh you so sexy’ way (that’s gross, the kid’s 12!), but in a ‘oh my you so awesome I want to be your friend’ kind of way. I’ve actually said on several accounts that I’d like to be friends with him. I get along well with kids that age (my brother is, see, so its not like I go about making friends with 12 year olds, pmsl). But whatever, thats just one part of the DVD. The features this time are amazing. I still think the features on HP4 were great (had a lot of a more BTS part), but these are really great because they feature a lot of the younger/teen cast doing things, which is quite fun. I love Matt Lewis (Neville), especially the bit he hosted with Alfie Enoch (Dean Thomas). If you get your hands on it (not until the 8th of Dec in the US/UK, I believe), make sure you watch them!
