Song: Corner Stone – Arctic Monkeys

Well, aren’t my blogs becoming irregular.

I just had dinner with family friends. Jeremy’s mate’s family, actually. They’re alright, I suppose, we occasionally go out to dinner with them. Alright night. I don’t know why I’m actually mentioning it at all, pmsl.

I hope you read this blog with a Scottish accent. Mainly because I’ve been watching The Last King of Scotland with James McAvoy (who we all know I love) and his accent is hot.

A mosquito just dropped dead in my lap, pmsl.

This blog is all over the place. And this is only the, what, 4th stanza!

The past week I’ve just been studying and sleeping and hoping for a time travelling machine. I have finals in two days (!!!). These exams end my compulsory high school education. Think GCSE (UK). Its not that I’m unprepared, I’m just really lazy. And anxious. But then again, these exams won’t mean much in the long run. But it will for Dad. He’d freak out even over a class test.

What else? I made a new layout. I don’t know how much I like it. But I really needed a new layout and it was killing me not being able to make one (I was on the verge of crying earlier. But that was also because I had a migraine and I’m probably nearing my lady times). I’d made two Rupert Grint ones, but had no idea how to code either of them. So we get this. Of Lacey Sturm. Of Flyleaf. Who’s album comes out next week. Which I’m very excited about. I’ve loved Flyleaf since about 2006, see.

Seriously, this blog is all over the place.

I recently got a Tumblr, and if you have one you should follow me, so I can follow you and we can have a never ending cycle of following. It’d be like walking in circles. Fun, eh?

I’m so ready for summer. Not necessarily the hot weather and beaches and supposed fun trips with “friends”, but the stupid body clocks and the no need to do anything what-so-ever. I won’t be going to Canberra this year (unlike the past three summers), which I’m happy about, but kind of lament because those trips, as tiresome as they were, broke up the holidays and made them different. I think summer will, essentially, be as depressing as spring break was. But hey, at least by then I’ll have more Potter DVD’s to watch!

I can’t gather my thoughts tonight. Sorry. But if you wanted, I could blog about SEATO, but that is quite inappropriate.

Song: Somehow – James Yuill

I really need to get back into the habit of making layouts that I can stand for more than a few weeks. So yeah, new layout. Featuring the kids from the Let the Right One In film which I mentioned previously. Its bleeding awesome, it is. … the film, pmsl.

The past week has been hell, really. Trial exams. This year we have pretty major exams, and they require trials for whatever reason, so I’ve been working for them. Yesterday was English and Science, I’m not very confident with science (I’m pretty bad in that subject) but English was fine. Today was maths (yeah, fine, could have been worse) and History/Geography/Civics. There was honestly NO civics in it, which is just as well (its not actually a taught subject here), but the rest was alright. I’m just glad they’re over, really. 4 2-hour exams in 2 days kinda sucks balls. A lot.

But whatever, I’m on spring break now! Even if it isn’t very spring-y and is currently raining. My spirits aren’t dampened because this time in two days, I’ll be rocking it out with Jess! She’s one of my best friends ever since I was like, 8, and unfortunately moved away a few years ago, but she’s coming up this weekend for the NRL final and staying over for the night. I’m quite excited about this all. I never have plans, let alone get to see Jess. I haven’t seen her since 2007!

So yeah, besides this all, nothing much has happened. The seniors in my school have had their graduation, and as tradition, held a little farewell concert on Wednesday. No, it wasn’t all bad, it wasn’t like this mass or a formal assembly, it was girls getting up and doing whatever the fuck they wanted. Mainly dances and comedy acts. One group did Harry Potter Puppet Pals, which excited me. Other acts weren’t as good, like the ode to gingers where brunettes came up on stage and REALLY BADLY belted out ‘Beautiful’ by X-tina (Lol, do people still call her that? I will. I can’t spell her last name). But yeah, it was a good waste of 2 hours and I’m proud my school doesn’t do all that formal assembly wank. This is much more entertaining.

I really need new stuff for my room. My wardrobe needs doors (it never has had, mind), I need a new desk and a new tablet. I hate things.

Song: Alive or Dead – The Draft

I have been working on potential layouts all night. I couldn’t stand the yellow. Made this instead.

I saw D9 (District 9) over the weekend. It was awesome. It got kinda gross at points (I won’t spoil it in case people wanted to see it, lol) and the fingernails thing creeped the fuck out of me, but it was still awesome. At points it reminded me of Iron Man (I kindofmaybeyelled that out at one point, pmsl), which was AWESOME because I adore Iron Man so much. I went with Christine, and I have such an awesome time with her. Afterwards we went out for a bit, I went to Dangerfield and got a Iron Man wallet (its WIN) and I was going to buy books but got lazy, plus Christine needed to get home. So I didn’t. Which sucked. But still had an awesome time.

What else? I’ve been having technology problems. My tablet which I use for my laptop (I can’t use it on my desktop because if I do, half my games don’t work. Its bullshit) kind of destroyed my laptop, the CPU seemed to be having problems deciphering codes from the serial buses, which sucked, but Dad managed to fix it. Still weary of Spike (laptop), though. And then today my MP3 player of about… 2 and a half years decided to screw up, so I listened to music on Cecil (mobile) which was great, so Kathlyn (mp3) got jealous and decided to work again. Or at least that’s my story, pmsl.

I am so exhausted at the moment. The other day it was an evening session of the cricket (One Day Internationals!) which meant that it aired here from 11pm-7am. Shivani, Christine & I made a pact to wake up at 4:30am and watch. Which we all did. But now I’m past tired, I was pretty low on sleep as it was. It now means time is moving in a strange way. Its moving rather fast. Big leaps. Its odd.

And before you tell me I’m an idiot for waking up to watch it (pretty much everyone at school has been telling me this), we won, so its worth it.

I actually can’t remember if I had anything else blog-worthy, lmao. Its the sleep thing. Oh well. I’ll make up a story instead. Or I won’t. I was about to start typing it until I realised I’d probably sound mental. Whatever.

Seeing as I’m a boring sod I’ll go of and read Empire. I had spare money on Sunday (D9 day) and I was going to buy it, but instead bought Computer Arts (it came with a free CD!) and didn’t have enough for Empire. Then Mum comes Empire with one for me. She knows I fancy Robert Downey Jnr (he’s on the cover). I love her.

Song: She’s Got Standards – The Rifles

I am actually pretty tired at the moment. But that’s my own fault and I don’t really care. I should stop having so many dreams about babies and cricket and stoner Dumbledore and being naked.

The past week at school has been, well, different. On the Monday we had the excursion to the sea side we were meant to go on ages ago, you can see an image of the sea side to the left to prove I actually went, pmsl. It was actually kinda shit because it was too much ‘ohh look at plant’ and too little ‘ok time to rest your sore sore feet’. I had about two cups of sand in my shoes. It wasn’t great.

And then today, Friday, we went to the old quarantine station they used back in the day when the first settlers came to Australia. Apparently its haunted. Whatever. We visited their hospital and showers and kitchens (apparently the most haunted place in Australia. Our tour guide (who had a Yorkshire accent, I SWEAR) was quite proud of it). It was considerably better than Monday considering we got to buy ice-cream after and have a mini-picnick.

Also this week I got glasses. I’ve needed them for a while but never did anything about it until my brother went for an eye test. I look like a massive shit in the photo, but people reckon they look alright, so hopefully they don’t look too bad. I’m short-sighted, by the way.

Besides all that nothing too interesting has happened. Obviously we lost the Ashes on… Sunday, was it? Basically, the Ashes was all I talked about on Monday, pmsl. I talked at people because none of them knew what I was going on about. Broad definitely deserved Man of the Match after Friday night, but I don’t think its fine to blame Ponting for our loss. I mean, I don’t like Ponting, but I don’t blame him. Our lack of experience, AND LACK OF BRETT LEE, were the main contributing factors. And the fact that England gamed up, Swann, Broad and Anderson played really well. Broad was incredible on Friday. And that has nothing to to with the fact that I find him attractive. More to do with the fact that he got 5/37!!!. Basically out of all the played balls he bowled, 5 lead to wickets and 37 lead to runs. For non-cricket folk, its GOOD. But in saying that I was also proud of good ol’ Mitch and North. And I also laughed so much at Northeast. Mainly his name.

That’s enough cricket talk. I’ll most likely bore you to shit. I need to put up a new layout but I have no idea how to code it so I probably won’t, pmsl. I did the layout. Jess helped me figure out the coding. I love her.

Song: The Beginning of the End of the Night – Red Riders

I have a cup of tea and the steam coming from it is beautiful.

The past week has been a blur. Mixed with studying for an impossibly hard maths test I took on Wednesday (the last part, we didn’t have time for, so that’s on Tuesday next week, but that part is dead easy so whatever) and… not doing all that much, actually. Oh and doing my Science SRP (Student Research Project) which I have to give a presentation for on Monday. *sigh*

But what have I been doing all this week? Well, not much, as I’ve said. I’ve been ploughing through the pile-up of comic books I have (I don’t know why I buy them and then not read them for weeks and then read them all in once, I’m mental), and… Yeah, this week has been seriously boring. Wow. You never notice that until you’re told to write about it.
Well, I wasn’t told, but you get what I mean.

One thing I do know, though, is I finally got around to watching Starkid‘s A Very Potter Musical on youtube. I’ve had the link bookmarked forever, but never watched it because I was paranoid it would use up all my internet bandwidth. But now we’ve changed our plan, so I finally got to watch it. And yes, its just as brilliant as everybody says. Part 1 of Act 1 (two Acts total) is below, but in my opinion it only starts getting really got at around part 3-5. I love Voldemort and Draco.

Erm… what else? I made a new layout. Its not very complex… its, well, I don’t really know. But its got the Red Riders on it (even if the layout is blue) and I love them, so its there.

OHHHH! I have something to say now, pmsl! Remember that short story I mentioned I wrote for English? Well, it was due two weeks ago so I may as well post it online. You can read it here.

I have NOTHING to say, so I’ll go back to my tea now.
