Song: Pogo – Digitalism

Sometimes I honestly forget so much. For instance, I have no idea what occurred on Monday. Whatever.

This weekend has been another one of those crazy-packed/eventful weekends. Its actually mental that my social life has increased. If you’d asked me in January if I ever expected it, I’d ask you if you were stupid and laugh in your face (because, really, people + me? Wasn’t likely). Anyway, Friday night we had Patricia’s birthday. It was quite chill, there was a bonfire & music & stuff. I had an alright time, it was a kind of awkward night; there was an odd mix of people. Around 40 girls showed up, all from different crowds in school, and like, 3 boys (Patricia’s boyfriend & two of his mates). Oh and family & parents. Just awkward. But I made the most of it, I guess, bitching with Stella & Danielle.

Saturday-day, Mum agreed to take me shopping for new clothes (which I desperately need). I got dark-grey jeans, a cropped denim jacket, a kind-of-imitation acid wash jacket (image below, I suck at explaining), a handbag, a bunch of tights & these shoes (they’re amazing & I love them & they’re SO comfortable & yeah). I don’t know what it is about it, but finally buying some stuff was SUCH a good thing. Like, I don’t know. I just really needed clothes.

But yeah, Saturday night Evie had her birthday dinner party. It was so GOOD. The food they cooked was amazing, and Evie’s place was just gorgeous, like something out of A Midsummer’s Night Dream. She also had this dancing room & this amazing star projector and it was amazing and I’m going to look into buying myself one for my room. I’d honestly never turn it off. But yeah, the night was lovely (even if Lucy remained a bitch and it did get cold). Got to spend time with Harriet which I haven’t done in ages (even if I see her every day, which is odd) and that was tres fun.

Sometimes I wonder if I’m the only one in my group who can see the dysfunctional group relations. I mean, there are so many people who don’t get along, and so many people who only get along because they have a mutual dislike of someone else. Then comes the grouping, and the favouritism, and the elitism. I don’t understand. Its kind of funny, how I’m not really close to anyone. I don’t have a best friend. It was kind of confronting on Thursday, hanging out with Dillan, his best mate Nick, his girlfriend Elisha and her best friend Maddy (keeping in mind Maddy & Elisha go to my school and I kind of/sort of know them), because you could see the BFF-ness of Elisha and Maddy, and then Dil and Nick. It kind of made me wish I had a best mate – hasn’t happened since 2008 I’d say – but what can you do. Doesn’t really matter anyway because I’m not down about it. I have good things.

I think I ought to count my blessings more often.

I don’t understand what mood I’m in. I just ate some lovely blueberry strudel and might go out to watch Sherlock Holmes that we got on Blu Ray yesterday. Today is Mothers Day, too. We didn’t do much – Mum doesn’t like making a fuss over it – but we did do some cleaning & stuff for her. Like, we fixed up the garden a bit, chucked out a bunch of junk. I even took down my Lego castle which has been on top of my shelves for a year, dusted it (when I say “dusted” I mean washed & blow-dried… as you do) & re-built it which was very fun. I love Lego.

Random blog is random and wordy.

Song: Consolation Prizes – Phoenix

I am so not in the mood for owning fansites any more. Lord.

So school’s back. This isn’t fun. Course work has been ok, haven’t really done a lot, but people just annoy me a lot. I mean, they literally will come to where we sit, drop their bags and folders and stuff, and then leave to sit like, 3 metres away. I mean, what is the POINT?! Christine, Melanie and I are not in this group to mind your bags. Christ.

Today was cool, though. We had a Geography field study, so we went to Olympic Park and the wetlands there. We did a lot of work on the mangroves, did some soil tests and creek water testing and cool stuff like that. I’m not actually that big of a fan of physical geography (more of a human geography kind of person, y’know, stuff like population and urbanisation and things) so the day was a little too sciency but still really fun. I like how our class just really get along and we all just have fun together. I don’t know. Good harmony in a class actually really does help.

Nothing else exciting has been going on. Had a boring weekend involving a lot of work (about 4-5 hours on both Saturday and Sunday), which I didn’t like at all. Dad freaked out when I went $15 over my phone bill, but then calmed down after I worked for him for ages. Saw Dillan Monday afternoon (he had school, hahahaha) and Wednesday. That was cool. Um, yeah. Haven’t gotten ANYWHERE with my English story. I currently have two starts, one from third person basically explaining this guys existence so far, and another is a first person monologue, essentially. The second one is a bit more engaging, and establishes my theme a bit more, but I never like writing in first person so I am stuck. Even though it does sound like I’m more attached to the second idea. But I don’t even have a plot. I have a basic idea (its about Chernobyl and (because its got to be Gothic) will somehow involve houses being living creatures) but its so hard to do in 1200 words. Because I’m not a big ‘and then, and then, and then’ writer (or thinker), I’m more of a ‘lets ramble on about insignificant details which I think makes things oddly beautiful’ writer. I don’t know.

I totally had the wierdest moment ever today. I saw this on a magazine cover. I mean, yes it was done FOR Crysis 2 and yes it was a gaming magazine, but its always so odd seeing art from DA in real life. Its kind of a cold reminder that what you do, what you’re good at, can get you places. DA & other media uploading sites can get you places. Its weird to think about it.

I really feel like going magazine hunting and coffee drinking and scarf shopping.

This blog is going nowhere. I’ll just shut up and leave the Wild Target trailer here. SO excited.
