Tis The Season

So we've never been really big on christmas...
Never really felt like I was missing much tbh
But now I think it would be nice to have like... idk. traditional christmas.
Which includes snow.
And sheltering from snow.
hm...
Random Xmas fact of the day: My favourite christmas carol is God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.
Random huh?
I don't know what the point of this was.... What are your fav carols? Does anyone know any other than silent night and jingle bells? hahahaahaaa

Lame.

Day One?

Er.... yeah so idk if im gna get into the whole day things. probs not. will probs pick the ones i cbf doing and just do those. or just do this one. whatevs.

15 interesting things about yourself:

1. I sleep on the side, curled up ish, spread out ish, retarded ish and restlessly. (The story that I always like to tell which proves my retarded sleeping is the one about year 6 camp and I think the weather was sht so we all had to sleep in the barn and we were all on these mats. I was sleeping next to yj and some other girl. I woke up in the middle of the night to find myself with my arm flung over the other girl and my foot like up yj's nose. It was incredibly attractive.)

2. If I don't get veges at dinner then I get cranky and mopey and sometimes throw a spaz.

3. I avoid wearing the same colour of underwears 2 days in a row.

4. The only time I've cried in the cinemas was in Sydney or Brisbane and I watched Peter Pan (the people version) with my mum. I still love that movie. Jeremy Sumpter is just too cute hehehee

5. My chopstick are yellow and I spaz when someone else uses them or they're not there when I need them and I have to use the normal brown ones.

6. My room (and the rooms I inhabit i.e. living/dining room) is in a constant state of what I like to call organised mess. It's not tidy per se, but if someone moves something then I know immediately and it annoys me because it's not where I put it and I have to sort through all my sht to find it.

7. When the painters are in, I am capable of eating an entire block of chocolate in a couple of days.

8. I wear one of those eye masks to sleep in now but in the morning its always under my pillow.

9. Er... what else can I think of... My sheets are black.

10. It distresses me when my pillow doesnt match my duvet. At kahunui I compensated by having my pillowcase match my sheets cz i couldn't find the duvet cover l0lz

11. My quilt/throw thing matches my carpet.

12. When I was little, I ate grass because my friend ate it and said it tasted like grass and I was like 'Oh that sounds nice.'

13. I can't ride a bike.

14. I learnt to swim when I was... idk at least 8?

15. My T-zone is several shades darker than the rest of my face.

Well that was fun. ish. hahha seeing as I'm here I might as well do another one.. hm...

Day 5 A picture of somewhere you've been to:

that's not my photo. cbf uploading. c+p is quicker haha

Day 6 Favourite superhero and why:

I don't know why I'm gna put one down because I don't actually have one... what are the superheros anyway uhh..... hm.... OH I'll say iron man even thoguh I havent seen the movies or read the comic books. Only because today during free period I did a quiz in one of those cringeworthy magazines and it said that my superhero male companion would be iron man. wouldnt that be an adventure. ;]

Day 10 Songs you listen to when you're happy, sad, bored, hyped, mad:

Happy - whichever party song i'm into atm

Sad - Hurt - Xtina??

Bored - N/A

Hyped - techno esque music or stuff with lots of sound effects like *unst unst unst unst*

Mad - huh. I don't actually know what my mad song is. do I have a mad song.... ....... hm. angsty but not really songs like because of you - kelly clarkson. ahhh an oldie but a secret, undercover goodie.

(last one I promise) Day 15 Put your iPod on shuffle and write the first 10 songs:

Cell Block Tango - Chicago

SOS - Rihanna (I hate this song now. But I keep it. I have lots of songs I hate. which is stupid)

Kings and Queens - 30 Seconds to Mars

Your Love is my drug - Ke$ha

Listen - Beyonce

Haven't Met You Yet - Michael Buble

Champagne Life - Ne-Yo

World War III - Jonas Brothers (shut up. don't say anything. just don't.)

A Dustland Fairytale - The Killers

Stranger in Moscow - Michael Jackson (I don't like this song. It's kinda weird. But I have it cz we did our dance to it last year. Well... it was the only MJ song in our mix and the theme was MJ so yeah...)

Ghost in the Machine - B.o.B. (like a lot of people, I was introduced to this song via Gossip Girl haahaa)

Oh woops. just counted and I think I have 11.... hahaah jokes. bakers dozen type scenario? I mean jb dont really count right....

Wow this was a massive waste of time.

Memory Palace

Well I have a fail memory. I don't even remember what happened on Tuesday... i think it was Tuesday hahaa
So... i est going to document my travels so far. this is going to be my memory palace. how lame is that.
anyway
tokyo's too hot and humid =[[[[ laaaaame and then theres air con everywhere so my eyes dry up and shrivel up like bloodshot prunes.
moving on.
i landed... and then..... something something something blahblahblahh.... took ages to get from narita airport to tokyo. was lame. stupid traffic jam. cz apparently it was the last day of a holiday so everyone was cming home from their little vacations.
our hotels quite fancy. its like not 'The Best Hotel in Tokyo' but tis still fancy and expensive. tis full of business people. i like it. i can see myself staying in places like this in the future.
ofc rodger is totaly out of place here. lalalaaaaaah
okay so what now....
we havent been out for dinner as of yet. we always cm back and we're too tired and cbf going out so we get like lunch boxes or sushi or whatever and take it back up to our hotel. cz there is apparently no room service. not that we've found it anyway.... hahaaa
there est fancy pancy foods. these people like their italiana nd french foods.
theres this italian restaurant/buffet type thing in the atrium ish area
and there are steakhouses and teppanyaki and pierre gagnaire (sp?) a 3 michelin star chef
my mums like
we are not going to go to pierre gagnaire. idc if hes 3 michelin star. hes french. his food is french. we are not in france.
lame.
there are so many things here which are not jap but i sooooo want to have.
like.. krispy kremes.
haagen daz
this fancy pancy dean and something ice cream which looks reaaaaaly good with stuffs like new york cheesecake and sicilian pistachio and dark roast coffee nomzzzzzz
and godiva
and various clothes shops etc.....
my brother wants to go to a maid cafe.
i dont think he and my mother understood the concept of it when the tour guide explained it yesterday... i think all they got from it was 'they can draw pictures on the top of your coffee. like a bunny.' and 'you can get them to feed you the first bite.'
....
yeah.
anywho
i forgot where i was up to. wow. my brain is totaly dead.
ok tuesday.... we went a couple of places. mt fuji is quite uneventful tbh. i think frm being in nz, im kinda over mountains and hilly type things. bad memories of kahunui. hahaa
umm.... we went to this countryside type area near the bottom of mt fuji ish and they were famous for their grapes. they est good grapes. and they actually taste kinda like... uno in jap grape juices and drinks? yeah. like that. tis awesome.
and their mountain plums.
and.... peaches. we bought a box of peaches. not actualy that many
THINGS ARE SO EXPENSIVE omgg
its seriously like
omg
im broke.
anyway later in the afternoon we went to a traditional bathhouse place.
was awkward + 1000000
and i was so depressed. these like..... older women have better bodies than me.
like im not even kidding.
iw as like
wtf. uve had kids. how can u still look like that.
so yeah.... spent muchos time on the bus.
yesterday... we had a tokyo tour and we had the same tour guide. its annoying because our tours have been asian and im like .... yeah. okay. ur giving me these pamphlets and idk wtf theyre saying. and im kinda falling asleep lisening to you.
yesterday.... sht i forgot already.
no wait.
i can do this.
first we went... to this market type place. was uber uber uber boiling.
was... a market type place. hahaaaa
OMG
in one of the offstreets was this shop and omg it had the AWESOMEST ring ever. seriously. this sterling silver ring and was like this owl and its wings were spread out and omg. it was just awesome. like. godly. but it was 3300 yen which is like... about 60 nzd. and mum wa slike. you only 5g yen to spend in japan. and thats like ... maybe 100 nzd.
and i have muchos things id like to buy...
=[[[[
so i put it back.
but there is always the option of going back.
seriously...
AWESOME ASS RING.
what did we do after that..... i think after that.... was mayhaps lunchtime already?
we drove closer. then we walked to the place and sat on the tatami mats and had our set meals.
i took photos but didnt bring my cord
there was sashimi and tofu and salad and miso soup and the preserved stuff whcih i dont realy like
the place was famous for its crab so there was crab tempura and this crab rice thing.... they seem to like their stone bowls.
there was also some kind of orange sherbet ice cream which i wasnt sure if i liked or not....
oh. one interesting thing.
theres a total contrast between the toilets in japan. all the decent/nice places have like the built in bidet etc and this foam sht and they have the spray to wipe the toilet with
and the less decent places have the ground hole thing. tis gross. tis a glorified longdrop. tis a disgrace i am telling you.
ok moving on.
OH and yesterday we also went to the imperial palace or whatever. see this si the problem of asian tour. i have no idea wtf these places are called in englisha nd i forget the chinese because honestly idc and cbf. its all the same to me.
hmm... then after lunch lol we went for a boat ride like seeing the bridges but it was too hot and we didnt actualy look at any of the bridges
thennnn we went to the place i think its called palette world or some sht like that
the place with the ferris wheel and muchos things....
it wasnt uber exciting because we only had about an hour and we spent most of that time in the car exhibition place because of lame brother wanting to go on all the lame ride type things.
THERE ARE AWESOME PET STORE OMG
so many cute things.
they had doggie strollers hahaaaa
oh woops. i forgot. before we went to the palette world or whatever we went to the tokyo tower. towers arent that exciting to me.
1. im not particularly fond of heights especially when ur mother forces you to stand and bend down on the glass floor place.
2. it's a tower.
hm...
so yeaaah......
not much to say really....
we dont have anything during the day today so we're gna shop. but i probably wont end up doing much shopping because of their desire to see the randomest lame things (i hope to god that we dont end up going to a maid cafe)
tonight we have a night tour type thing. and we're going to dinner.... hm....
i am dreading going back to nz.
the day after i cm back im gna have my first day of work.
apparently it is incredibly hard work.
which is lame.
and the pay is absolute shit.
and omg they want me to work both weekend days every week. im like. wtf fuck off.
i dont want to go at all. tis lame. but i will have to try. if i break enough plates, they'll have to fire me right.

Ladies and Gentlemen, A Brief Intermission

I know this is probably not the most appropriate blog post since forever

but I'm on a sex and the city kick

and I just had to share this

since I am not on msn and cbf going on just to say this to someone.

Ignoring More Pressing Matters to Declare My Insanity to Cyberspace

Is it weird that I have french test in 20 minutes and essay test after that which I have not learnt the content for and muchos other stuffs I have to do... and I forgot what I was saying. Is that weird?
Is it weird that I have this urge to go to the main City Library and absorb by osmosis stuff about historical things e.g. Roman Empire, Mayan civilisation, Polpot regime, Ancient Greeks... Is it weird that I get excited just thinking about it?
I'm so out of it. I've given up. Nyah.
I could really go for a steak sandwich right now.
Or anything containing browned butter.
Interesting fact:
I divide my toast into sections and depending on what I'm having, I'll either have 4 quarters, 1/2+2/4, 3/5+2/5 or any other random combination.
Par exemple. This morning I had 1/2 olive oil spread, 1/6 chocolate spread, 2/6 unsalted smooth peanut butter.
What was I talking about.
Who knows.
Who cares.
Life is inane.

Fooooood

Eaten so much today...

sucks that it wasnt good food though hahaa

mum and bro came back just then with leftover/takeaways from new crystal harbour

anybody been?

when they go to yumcha they always bring back turnip cake whatever u call it...

luo buo gao that thing

and they also brought a couple of egg tarts too

so yeah i havent tried much from crystal harbour have i? hahahaaa

i heard they stole some chefs...

but whatever

the luo buo gao was good. although inconsistent. one of them was done perfectly and anothe rwas kind of... slightly iffy but not horrible.

the egg tart was good though

im usualy hesitant with egg tarts because i like the idea of them just cz theyre like the only asian tarts there are. so i usualy take one but i dont usualy love it.. par exemple the ones from classic asian bakehouse the pastry is uber flaky which is prety good depending onw hat u like (although everything of theirs is kinda flaky or something) but they torch the top so to me anyway, its not very 'classic asian' appealing.

the crystal harbour egg tarts perhaps the best egg tarts ive had (that i can remember anyway l0lz)

the pastry is shortcrust rather than flaky which i personally prefer cz rather than shtting flake everywhere it like falls apart but still is stable together

and i swear theres also some ginger or something in there...

the egg tart custard was also good because it wasnt overly eggy or overcooked like some can be which realy realy annoys me. i dont want a steamed egg for dessert. if i did. i would havae ordered one.

what was i talking about

i forgot.

who wants to go to food show?

i completely forgot and may miss it =[[[

sadface.

totally ignoring tok ethics presentation on monday hahahahaaa

may bake shortbread cookies....

Coco Chanel

I don't understand how a woman can leave the house without fixing herself up a little - if only out of politeness. And then, you never know, maybe that's the day she has a date with destiny. And it's best to be as pretty as possible for destiny.

Creepy??

Is it concerning that whenever I see men in sweaters I assess how good they would look on me (sweater, not the man. Well actually.....hehee) and where they got it from?

Perhaps.

Does it deter me from looking?

Nope.

I hate holidays. I've been spending my days watching movies and vampire diaries.

I miss reading.

I seriously haven't read a book since I read kitchen last year...

I pick books up but never get past a few chapters.

I picked Wuthering Heights up again last night and read a couple of chapters.. i forgot what happened before but not much so i cbf rereading it.

Couple days ago I picked up the Count of Monte Cristo again and read a few chapters... it was a good book. Absolutely massive thoguh. about the same size as the clan of the cavebear...

After I read Clan of the Cavebear a few years ago I tried to read its sequel but one massive book was enough for me at the time hahahaa

Someone took out Crime and Punishment which I wanted to read in these holidays...

I guess I can finish Wuthering Heights now....

I like reading more classic type books now... well. what little of them I do read anyway haha

From what I've read so far, I quite like the child Heathcliff... then again I stopped right before the chapter devilchild Heathcliff is described rather than orphan child Heathcliff so yeah...

My throat is itchy.

Dostoevsky

I am a ridiculous person. Now they call me a madman. That would be a promotion if it were not that I remain as ridiculous in their eyes as before.

...

Dreams, as we all know, are very queer things: some parts are presented with appalling vividness, with details worked up with the elaborate finish of jewellery, while others one gallops through, as it were, without noticing them at all, as, for instance, through space and time.

Dreams seem to be spurred on not by reason but by desire, not by the head but by the heart, and yet what complicated tricks my reason has played sometimes in dreams, what utterly incomprehensible things happen to it!

...

But enough. I will begin about my dream. Yes, I dreamed a dream, my dream of the third of November. They tease me now, telling me it was only a dream. But does it matter whether it was a dream or reality, if the dream made known to me the truth? If once one has recognised the truth and seen it, you know that it is the truth and that there is no other and there cannot be, whether you are asleep or awake. Let it be a dream, so be it, but that real life of which you make so much I had meant to extinguish by suicide, and my dream, my dream - oh, it revealed to me a different life, renewed, grand and full of power!

~The Dream Of a Ridiculous Man

The Dream Of A Ridiculous Man

Est reading this short story by Fyodor Dostoevsky and not finished but this quote made me smile at its familiarity...cough eco in s1 today cough... I haven't read a book since last year 0.0

Je suis triste... pourquoi?... je ne sais pas... mais je suis assez triste...

Rain had been falling all day, and it had been a cold, gloomy, almost menacing rain, with, I remember an unmistakable spite against mankind.

Quote from The Mentalist

Jane encounters a self-proclaimed psychic on a case - the aloof, I am above it all spiritually type.

'Don't you ever get tired of your own cynicism Mr Jane?'

'Weary as hell... What's the alternative?'

Cynicism. Such a pretty word.

With The Times?

People are always amused by my mother.

She has a sort of je ne sais quoi about her which makes most everyone want to talk to her.

(with the exception of Steph who is scared of her. just cz her mother is like little red riding hood's grandmother. You should call your kid Little Red Riding Hood. .... Marry a guy called Mr Hood. (not the gangster type. they 'don't look very nice' as Mrs Mave would say.) And you can call your child Little Hood. Middle names Red Riding. Powerful sht right there.)

Apparently my personality is much like hers yet not...

Whenever I hear descriptions of myself I am reminded of my mother but she is always saying that I am nothing like her... 'Why do you have to be like that. Why can't you be smart like me. You stupid like your daddy. You blind like your daddy. You have bad skin like your daddy. But you're not tall and skinny like your daddy. What is wrong with you? Why don't you pick good things from your daddy? If I were you I would be tall and skinny like your daddy but have good eyes and good skin like me.'

She is hypocritical like me =]]

Mais what was I saying...

Right.

Anecdote.

Amusing Anecdote.

My mum is quite 'with the times'... She doesn't really dress her age... though I'm never quite sure what her age is. She has been 86 for nearly 10 years...

She sings along with The Edge occasionally...

And she is totally modern.

Par exemple?

She was telling me about going to the curtain shop a couple days ago...

Why are gay people so clean?

...fellatio makes your skin glow like a metaphorically pregnant lady?

I went to the curtain shop... and the boy that was helping me was gay.

"How do you know he was gay?"

Because he was so clean! And the way he taaalk, the way he wear his clothes... oooh so pretty. He was wearing this purple shirt and a modernnn tie. He was SO CLEAN.

"...How do you know he was clean?"

Oh you know, you can just tell... He is clean. And he is gay. I like him. He so helpful you know. Not like normal boys who always chasing after girls *insert chicken dance snatchy hands* But this boy was so interested in the curtains. He wanted to help aaall the old ladies to choose the curtains, and the pretty curtains... you know? I think I'll go back there. You should come and take a look.

"I don't mind really what curtains are in the washing room as long as they're not THAT ugly."

No not the curtains. The gay boy. Why you want to look at curtains? You need to study!

...

My mum went back. Because she liked the gay guy. Cz he was clean and nice...

She has always said to us that it's okay if we're gay. As long as we're happy.

And rich.

So I should be doing eco homework right now.... I've done half.... but it's long and time-consuming and pointless...

Mr Rackham has been trying all these 'new' approaches to teaching.

The other day he wanted us to write a 'newspaper article' regarding the cotton subsidies (eco thing) and the instructions he gave us incorporated de bono's thinking hats.

Step 1 was to think up an emotive and engaging title.

My title (and i actually sent it in like this) was:

Insert Witty Pun Here

A+?

I think so.

Stupid or Bored?

She scratches her ear and side of her head with her back foot.

Then she tries to bite said foot for kicking her in the head.

Then realises that its own foot and tries to reprimand face for biting by whacking with front foot repeatedly.

Face is upset to be hit and tries to bite front feet.

Realises are one body and front feet pat snout in an attempt to calm face.

Stupid or Bored?

Oh The Joy Of Baking

I haven't baked all hols cept for hot cross buns which were fail - don't even want to talk about it.

So today.

I made cookies.

NOMZ

They're 'Bakery-Style' cookies... or so the heading of the recipe said hahahaaah

they est good.

it said to add 2 cups of chocolate chips

...

I didn't listen

So I put in some 60% chocolate, a block of Lindt coffee intense chocolate, and the half of bag of dark chocolate drops i had left.

They are orgasmic.

You can share the pleasure when I brings them on Tuesday.

Here's hoping there will still be some left... *nomz

Don't Drop The Ball

Nuclear Security Summit...

Tis interesting this nuclear business.

I think I remember telling winnie how nuclear bombs are made in lie year9 or something...

Trying to ban all nuclear weapons is probably not going to work.

Sure most would be able to hold off fucking up the entire world

but then there's that one vagina - i mean - face who will NOT agree to this and thus endangering the Rest Of The World, thus leaving the Rest Of The World in a bit of a dilemma.

You cannot fight darkness with darkness, you must find light to shed on the darkness.

If you fight fire with fire, you make a bigger fire - or in this case, NUCLEAR MUSHROOM CLOUD.

To eliminate the fire you must find water.

Water.

I do not know what the water to fire would be to nuclear weapons... you just find some damn water.

But knowing the spiteful Fates with their gross eye and Life and All That Jazz while the Rest Of The World is wounded but gloating like 'yeah look at my non-nuclear sexy pants'

BAM

a tsunami strikes.

Don't you love irony?

Water's not so great now is it.

Stalk Stalk Stalk

Why is it that three is always the most aesthetically and aurally pleasing?

Hm...

So last night I was stalking Jeremy Dufour [If you were not a model what would you be doing right now? Je serais surement en cours de mathematique - I would be studying mathematics.]

Nomnomnom.. looking sexi-i mean seriously into the distance...

Look at that face...

Moi? Je suis tres tres intelligent et NOMSSSS

J'adore l'enfants... et laina bien sur.

But look at that bone structuuuurre... Fine. I'll stop...

Well I obviously lied.

Heheheheheheee look at his face and blondnessssssss

Nomnomnom much?

There are many more that I like and are better than these but I htink you've had enough.

Buttttt how about some Romulo Pires - courtesy of Mr Lagerfeld himself

Doesn't he look like a cross between Orlando Bloom and Antonio Banderas?? He's brazilian =]]

[EDIT: dammit. it was a big big BIG pic. but when i copied it it got cut off. so i had to dl then upload it... and not tis small =[[ trust me. its fantastic big.]

I shall burn you with my smouldering 'sexy eyes' stare... that's right. take a note of this shakespeare girls. These are the sexy eyes that you make

[EDIT: again. had to resize]

He is the sexy one in the middle... Ooh senorita (pst is that brazilian? it is now) look at ze manbangss... tis soft. pat it. go on.

This is not sexy Orlando/Antonio lovechild. This is some guy wiht an okay face. But look at his back. Look at the apex of his arm and shoulder. NOMSSSS

This guy is a Dan from Gossip Girl lookalike... whats his name... i forgot. who cares. hes a dork. But look at this guy. he has the dorkiness downpat. Can he look dorkier? That visor...
Oh I stand corrected. His fish pout and the headdress is really working for him. It's like Miley Cyrus and Sacagewa(sp?) had a baby. even though theyre both female. Wow homo central today aez...

Nick Rae might be a dork impersonator. But he is possibly the king of the famous or infamous V. Dayum. How can he have such a good V when he has no abs?

[EDIT: those were previously one big thing... again resized]

Victor Norlander... He is just sexy. Look at him. Analyse him. Scientific conclusion? He is sexy.

Not a personal favourite. But look at his face. Look at that structure. LOOK AT IT DAMMIT

First they steal Clark Mallon's pants...

Then they steal his shirt... It's okay. I'm sure many girls *cough* are willing to offer themselves for you to wear. Noms. Look at zee abs. Follow my lead and look at zee abs. Joo laike? I'm cold. No one's complaining...

Terron Wood can not only fly... But he does it in his baby brother's boxer shorts. Noms. Chiselled as any damn michelangelo...

Now why can't our IT guys have bone structures like theirs... I like the one in front best. I won't even bother doing names. Just stare at the smartness=sexiness

Okay guys... I think that's about enough.

So last but most certainly not least...

Garrett Neff.. Was going to put another pic up without the logo... cept... heheheee. He had on some tighty whities. Hehehehheeeeh

Keep it pgr girls.

hehehhee that was fun

Jazz

Jazz, oh yes, jazz. To me, jazz is noise. Insolent noise.

I love the feeling of jazz.

Jazz is a feeling

mostly a tingly feeling.

Perhaps a tingly happy feeling - blue skies, smiling at me.. nothing but blue skies, do i see..

Or a tingly content feeling - summertime, and the living is easy.. fish are jumping, and the cotton is high..

Mayhaps a tingly melancholy feeling - but i miss you, most of all.. when autumn leaves start to fall..

Or uncommonly a tingly disgusted feeling - scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh.. then the smell of burning flesh..

Jazz is a tingly AWEsome feeling

unforgettable. in every way.

So hello.

howzit.

it's been a while.

=]

so tis the hols and tis easter weekend and im kinda a;lsdkjf;asldkfj;

idk... is anyone else feeling kinda.. lost?

i have lots of homework to do.

oh joy.

>.>

however i shall be enjoying myself these hols.

or trying to.

i feel like that theyre gna be really short and go by so quickly and i'll get absolutely nothign done.

but i guess thats what its always like.

as winnie witnessed today

i kinda like stress.

i live on stress.

stress is good for the soul.

but apparently not the heart or any other organs... or body parts for that matter.

oh wells.

according to weird tok youtube clip, the world is based on 'perception' and 'souls'.

All perception is apparently perceived by a larger being i.e. 'God'

fantastic.

That means.

That the keyboard or mouse or desk you are touching right now is not really there

it's just a perception

fascinating.

Restraint

I was nice at shakespeare today.
But that just increases my bad mood.
Eco is incredibly retarded. They're being really ridiculous and I can tell he's like *okay nigel. 1...2...3....*
I haven't unpacked at all.
I have so much homework.
I have chinese dance group this afternoon and I'm screwed.
I need to study for tests this week...
I refuse to get another 6 fcking b.
I want to go shopping.
I want to not have to sleep.
I haven't been sleeping as much these few days.
I have a choice of possibly going to Japan HK and mainland in term 3 holidays
or I can go to mainland and possibly HK over christmas.
. . .
Or I can not go anywhere.
This is so lame.
I have so much fcking homework.
Lame physics, maths, history and english...
what other subject do I take
oh
eco and french...
LAME
I don't like my room.
Tis lame.
Oh
I have to go.
Lame nigel.

Upbeat

'Well the 'Botox for Beginners' is done. Now it's a little scary, but mostly upbeat. Now I'm on 'What Your Gyno Won't Tell You,' which is also pretty scary, but, you know, upbeat. I finished my research on deadly pedicures, about the woman who contracted that fungus from unsterilised tools. It's a terrible story. Although, surprisingly... upbeat.'

So since I'm not in a particularly bad mood I thought I'd write something which is you know, pretty scary... but surprisingly, upbeat.
. . .
I actually don't know much to talk about.
I haven't packed.
Oh, I've packed one box thing not that big of jeans and a couple jackets but... its about..... 1/25 of my stuff...
And we're moving tomorrow...
And I have dance tongiht...
And homework...
And I have eco trip tomorrow...
I might get starbucks I might not.. depend what I feel like hahahaaah
dammit. I really should pack or something...
ohwell.
Skins is more important.

oh.
and im not that mean am i?

Life

Dr Bai said something very wise yesterday, apparently from a friend in Britain.
Life is a bitch. Life is a shit sandwich. The more of it you bite, the worse it gets.
I thought it was quite appropriate.

Sometimes I feel like the world is hating on me and it's all I can do to pretend that my eyes are dry, my throat is functioning, and that sonofabtch that dwells in my chest is not dancing around the bonfire.
It's all I can do to smile with my eyes, shout even louder and stay as still as I can so as not to spread the flames.

Sometimes I feel like I'm meant to fly. Like if I spread my wings and take to the sky, I would be home. But there's something holding me back. As hard as I try to lift off the ground my feet are stuck so that I'm being stretched so thin I can see the well behind my eyes the glitch in my throat and the anarchy within my body.
I fall.

Maybe if I empty out the wells and spew out the glitch and let out the fire
I'll be light enough to lift off the ground.
But I can't risk it.
Because the weight would always be there.
Without the wells and the glitch and the fire and the monster I wouldn't be able to support it.
I'd fall
And never get back up.

Stress Stress Stress

Stress est good for the heart and soul (insert tune... heart and soul.... lalallalalalaaaah)

The thing is that usually if I'm not stressed then I can't get anything done.

I have to be stressed.

It's a requirement of life.

I swear and my mum swears that I'm going to have a heart attack when I'm in my twenties

hahahaa

Today wasn't a very good day... Everything was just bad from when I woke up.

Oh but there was one thing good which was today was an autumn morning

=]]

It was awesome.

And then the sun came out and it was really really hot like right now...

But the autumn morning was good.

Autumn makes me smile.

So I was doing homework and maths was getting me in a tiz and the 2 essays I have to write are floating around in non-being...

I was getting really agitated and so I decided to make brownies.

Steph agreed that I should for the sake of my wellbeing hahaa

So I made alice medrich's cocoa brownies

It's quite a good recipe though I havent tasted the brownies yet...

I reduced very slightly (as in about 10g) the sugar and the flour...

They're cooling now

=]

I might bring them tomorrow as bribes for the shakespeare girls.

Or I might just eat them tonight by myself.

So...

Everyone's been talking about lantern yesterday.

It was alright.

I think last year was more fun because we actually did stuff.

I met lots of people who I didn't actually meet.

I think I met a lot of them at the bbq but yeah..

I still don't know their names.

I hate james.

He's so thin.

Guys should not be allowed to be that thin.

He's like the male version of Steph.

Both should have fat transplants.

Highlights of lantern...

• Dark mocha frapuccino (it's soooo goood......shame Winnie)
• 'Only one in nz' street artist with the south american thing with turpentine or something...
• Cages at Louis Vitton
• New season at Country Road (but I didn't go in =[[[[)

Hm... what else...

I was craving like burger and fries.... like the really good burger from burger fuel (not the whole thing) and fries and cold coke...

I'm making dinner tonight and I don't know what carb I'm going to make....

Noodles or lice or what?

Oh

Apparently mum froze this broth/soup

Alrighty

Broth/soup and udon

And now my mood is being ruined.

Slowly but surely.

Because he just came back from looking at the new house.

And theyre all in front of me talking about it.

And they're going to get rid of the really really pretty garden at the front.

And they're gonna put down cement and turn it into a carparking area.

It's seirously like....

My heart is breaking.

And I'm getting really pissed cz her perfume is fucking disgusting and I kind of want to throw up but I hear that's rude.

See.

Now I baked for nothing.

He and mum are both yelling at me now.

Saying that I'm being silly.

And the flower will be fine and it doesn't matter anyway.

FFS

Roses don't grow in marshlands for a reason.

Ew.

Smell.

Retch.

Arh.

Priorities

I am concerned for the wellbeing of my education.

Not only are we doing a new qualification, but I have observed that our school does not have a great record.

The reason our school gets good marks overall I think is because intelligence comes to them, rather than them cultivating it. Our school is more about culture and society etc..

Sure SMT know the difference between appreciate and appreshiate but really..

Some of the girls in Orakei tutoring can hardly read themselves.

If they can read then they can't add 2 + 20.

I walked into s1 today and on the board was this stuff for year8 health and safety cooking prep and (it was written by the teacher) it said 'Group members will also need to be allocated rolls i.e. cook, leader, cleaner of dishes, in charge of toppings etc'

0.0

Of course she could be referring to the bread rolls (it is a cooking prep class) but i doubt there are artisan rolls called 'leader' or 'cleaner of dishes' or 'in charge of toppings'.

Sacre bleu.

Economics is so boring.

I think it's really the pace we are going at.

I can't even have enlightening debates with a classmate because a)class is too small and b)there is no one worth having a debate with.

At the beginning of the lesson the pe teacher was in and said that they were rostered on for this period in s1.

After deliberating for a while the other 3 members of my class decided that it would be a perfect time to have a free and go get a coffee from the cafe up the road.

I could hardly stand against a staff member and nearly 30 year8 kids on my own so I left to go wander around or find a teacher or visit another class or something... idk i was kinda lost.

But just as they came out of the sports centre our teacher came along and they were all overjoyed to see him when he suggested we go kick them out of the classroom.

The most exciting and interesting and worthwhile thing i learnt in the last half an hour is how to change my word from US English to UK English...

Seriously idk why the default is US.

They can't spell.

My theory is that a 'distinguished american gentleman' accidentally left the 'i' out of aluminium and rather than admit his stupidity, he decided that that is how they're going to spell it in america. Who is going to oppose him? Women? Servants?

I think not.

On another completely unrelated note, I want to go to HK in the holidays sometime (summer holidays or preferably september hols)...

Everyone's always raving about HK with it's shopping and lights and shopping and it's got quite a high hdi...

Oh and the shopping.

Have I mentioned the shopping??

Well I should go now... about to go to english...

One of the only departments that saves our 'community'.

New Blog

Damn Ms Donald.

Because of complications with my gmail accounts (before blogger made my hotmail my gmail and it all got very screwed up and confusing) my old profile got deleted.

From what I can tell my blog still exists, but my profile doesn't.

So it is permanently stuck like that.

But I suppose I am alright with what I have on there - Eugenio Montale is always a good one.

=]

It's going to be a complete pain to find all the blogs that I follow again...

But I'll get there eventually.

Needless to say, no homework was attempted in the making of this blog.

hahahahaaa

I'm going to make a layout sometime when I have time...

But for now, you can enjoy 'minima black' and its bleak wonders.
