Jonathan Boulet – Ones Who Fly Twos Who Die
Yes, I’m listening to a track of the World Cup soundtrack (its actually purely coincidental, mind). I’ve decided this year I’m completely supporting Netherlands. Won BOTH their games. This is good news.
This past week has been quite shit, actually. I mean, Monday threw me – it was a public holiday (so no school), but Dad woke me up at 4am with the football (even though Australia miserably lost – not that I care, obviously), so I’d had 3 hours sleep. The whole day was mental, I took myself bra shopping, then strolled around the streets for no obvious reason, and then re-did the posters on my wall. Other than that, though, its just been school & coming home and studying & Dailybooth-ing and Tumblr-ing. There has actually been a strange rise in social networking amongst the people I know, like I’ve had a tumblr since November and now kids at school are getting them. Taken ‘em long enough, I guess Facebook isn’t enough. Whatever. To end a perfectly drainingly boring week, we had Supanova, which kind of made up for the bollocks prior to it.
So basically, Supanova is this giant, annual pop culture expo, full of stuff like Cosplay, comic books, sci-fi stuff, video games, technology demos, cool things like that. I went last year with Chris, had a blast, so naturally I went again this year. It actually worked out really well, cos I went in with Dillan at about 12ish (by the time we go there), and a few friends of mine had been in the line to get in since like, 10, so we got to chime in with them (even if these friends were awkward, and I have no idea who the hell they ended up talking to in the line, but one of the guys had this awesome punk vest (y’know, with the studs and band logos [Op Ivy, Rancid, Misfits, etc] which I wanted to steal)). Once we got in, Dillan & I split off & looked around at everything (about 10 thousand times, too). He bought a bunch of stuff (as in a lot of stuff), I got a Nobel Collection Time Turner, which is basically gorgeous and my favourite thing I own right now. But yeah, it was a pretty good day in all, I mean, I did manage to spill my coffee down my front (typical), and my back really killed by the end of the day for whatever reason, and I didn’t take any photos which I seriously regret, but I totally enjoyed myself and glad I went.
Y’know, its funny, cos mostly when people are enjoying themselves, they’re loud & animated & really obviously enjoying themselves. I’m not like that like, at all. Its probably the worst thing about me, because I look bored all the time, even when I’m not. When I’m out, it can actually be really hard to be bored, cos I can just sit there doing nothing for hours and be absolutely content, even if I don’t look it. I don’t know. I guess I just worry people get annoyed with me for always looking so bored. I worry too much.
So what now? I’m chillin’ in my room, in PJ’s that I didn’t wear to bed (go figure), trying to sort out what to do for the rest of my day. Sunday’s are always really boring for me. I don’t really mind, though, cos sometimes you just need days to surf the ‘net and drink coffee and get inspired. I need to study for my Maths exam which is in a week and a half, and there is a lot of pressure to do well (or at least better than last exam) this time, so that’s almost always on my mind. Tom Felton Online and R-Grint have both gone to good homes, which is great. I might try and work on some pre-made layouts soon, but I just need to ask which coding would you guys prefer; standard php (header, index, footer & css) or wordpress themes?
Wow this is a long blog. Sorry, pmsl.

These past few days have been incredibly odd. A lot of “firsts”. And no, not those firsts, but things like ‘first time on a plane’ and ‘first time out of the state’. That kind of thing. Yeah, my family & I went to Melbourne for the Digital Life Expo. We flew down on Thursday (also happened to be Dillan’s birthday. That was brilliant. /sarcasm), got there, and went straight to the DFO (Direct Factory Outlet) there. Got a pretty nice Charlie Brown dress there. Friday we saw the show for a bit while Mum & Dad worked (that’s why we went down there, because of their business) & relaxed. Saturday Dad took us walking around the city (which could’ve been fun, if Dad wasn’t such a tourist. I mean, yeah sure, its a fancy library… but essentially, its just a library. Nothing extra special, we have one in our own suburb) & had room service (the best bacon & chicken burger of my life). Sunday (today) we visited the show again & came home. And now I’m here freezing my arse off and putting off unpacking.
However, the highlight of my week was most definitely Supanova! For most people who don’t know what it is, its pretty much a convention (
It was really cool! There was a big cosplay competition, MAN those people have dedication. Next year, we’re planning on going in EPIC cosplay. We just need to sort it out, lmao. There was also a wrestling ring, which we only briefly went to because one of the wrestlers was really hot. I also bought some badass stuff, got an Iron Man figurine (Mighty Mugs own my life) and a HBP pop-out book. Its dead awesome! You can see ‘em to the side there.
