Theoretical Chaos

So I'm a little bit confused

2012-02-26T20:17:00.000+11:00

Hello All! I do not remember what happened between the last time I blogged and now but just a qiuck skim over the last week and a half:

Finals night was one of the best nights of my high school life. I say one of because I can not pick a clear favourite. I am just so happy and honoured that the first time Lachlan has one in six years happened in my final year. I'd say while I was captain too but I didn't really contribute much to that score so... 8)
I love our grade so much. From the harmony and unity I saw at finals night (everyone being happy that Lachlan one) to the fact that we managed to get social back because of our awesome behaviour at Finals night. I seriously can not think of a way to describe our grade. At first, I thought I was being biased towards us but seriously, when you think about it, we're a pretty damn good grade. In so many aspects (yes I am getting big headed about this, but what's wrong with a little school/grade pride?) too. Our art class is more creative than I have ever seen at Country Fair (not that much but enough for me to notice). Not saying that previous grades were uncreative just that ours is so whacky and out there (in a good way). Chem, we're the first grade to be this far ahead in a looong time (according to Miss Jackson).I don't know, I just love us :')
Zone basketball tomorrow! Half excited, half nervous. More excited though because I don't really care about the outcome of these games :P It's just for fun ^^

Day 20: If you had to meet one member of the cast, who would it be?
Ooooh hard question... Damn. I'd say the Phelps twins but they're not one person. Oh gosh why is this so difficult? D: Either.. Helen Bonham Carter or Daniel Radcliffe. Yes I know picking Daniel Radcliffe is a bit expected and I'm one to pick the not mainstream one but I genuinely think Daniel Radcliffe would be an aweosme person to hang out with. From his interviews, he seems really witty and kind of sarcastic which is exactly the personality I like (see Nicholas, Avi and Vincent). Helena Bonham Carter because she just seems cool and and a bit weird so yes, that's always a good combo :D

Happy Valentines Day Everybody! I'm seeing a bit more consistency with my blog posts which I am happy about :) Also happy with the jackets we got today :D They fit nicely and they're really warm :) I am so pumped for finals night grsegoet6u (<-- That's me being pumped). So pumped that this post (like many others) has no structure ! Wheeeeeee
Man I have not had the time to read other people's blogs. I dno, I think I've given up trying to keep up to date with them. I don't even remember which blogs I followed.. like followed as in anxiously waited for their next post. I think it was like.. Lisa, Manisay and Holly mainly cause they have pretty pictures and Holly amuses me :P I'd say Danicap too but either she hasn't posted in aaaaages or I just haven't been getting updates.
Speaking of Danicap, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANICAAAAAAAP ! First of all, I want you to remember that no matter how many people start calling you danicap, I was the one that called you that first! Second of all, I want to thank you for letting me be a part of you major work for art. Seriously, I was so flattered and my ego is so massive right now because of you. Well not just you. but it all started with you. I apologise for any arrogance you have to put up with for the next few weeks or so until I get pulled back down to earth. Third of all (that doesn't have the same ring to it...), thank you for not only putting up with my rants and evil schemes, but actually enjoying hearing it. Honestly if it wasn't for you, I would have no one to vent out all my frustration and negative energy(lol) to and all of the evilness would just bubble away inside of me until it burst and I committed a mass murder. I'm joking. I don't think I'd ever reach that point :P
Seriously though, I've had so much fun with you for the past five and a bit years and we always seem to share the same weird opinions and you always get what I'm talking about even if it's just a random feeling or thought. You just get me :') In the time that I've been in high school, I can safely say that some, if not most, of my most fun moments have been with you or you and others cause you're so carefree and, well, fun :P Thank you for the friendship, Danicap ! For the past, present and future.. (Thought I'd end it with something really cheesy. ehe .)

aaaaand random vlog I decided to make today :) There have been others in the last week but I couldn't be bothered putting them here. Enjoy !

Day 19: Do you prefer the books or the movies?
Books for suuuuure! Not only because they're the original (although that is part of the reason) but also because there's so much more to them. Like the movies, I personally think that if you hadn't read the books, there would be a lot of unanswered questions. I'm pretty sure my sister can vouch for that because she tends to ask me a lot of questions about the movies and she hasn't read the books. Also, there's so much more depth and room for character and plot development. JK Rowling is an AMAZING writer and I just love the way she describes particular scenes and it's just pleasant to read :)

Pretty sure I called my first blog about Swimming Carnival that too. Except you guys don't see my blog titles so meh. Anyway oh my gosh I don't even want to start trying to describe Swimming Carnival. It was the perfect last carnival to have and I just had so much fun and gah going to miss it so much :') Kim from the grade below us is the cutest. Danicap and Carissa will know what I'm talking about :P Tehe SOOOO UNBELIEVABLY PUMPED FOR FINALS NIGHT!
Anyway, enough of trying to describe something I've already said I can't... HAPPY BIRTHDAY HENRY! HOPE YOU HAVE AN AWESOME DAY! :D Thank you for cheering me up and making me smile (even if it took more than one sentence, you did better than others :P). I love your ahem wit and I can't believe it took you this long to start singing. I quite like your voice. It has a huskiness to it that not many others do. I also can't believe it took me this long to start talking to you. Haha well maybe I would have hated you if I started talking to you earlier. Who knows. Anyway, enjoy the last three hours of your birthday, your 18th year of being alive and the rest of your life :)

Originality is an illusion

2012-02-07T19:15:00.001+11:00

HI! It's been two weeks since I last blogged and I'm not even going to bother and say that I'll try and blog more regularly cause I knwo it isn't going to happen. You all know why I take ages to blog too, pretty sure I've mentioned it tons of times after every silence period between blog posts.
So we are a week and a half into the school year and I must say, it's been pretty good. Yes, the work load is large and the demands are intense but I quite like it. It gives me something to do and I know I complain about it as much as the next person but I actually do like the feeling that comes after you finish a massive pile of homework. Such accomplishment. This is a new feeling for me. Finishing homework I mean. Shut up don't judge me.
Swimming carnival in two days and I am soooo excited! Except, I'm freaking out about the captain relay because I am a terrible swimmer. I can swim. Just not well or fast. I dno, I went swimming today at lunch with Lisa and I barely made it to the other side. I'm so unfit! I was just standing on the side with Avi thinking, how the heck did I do three laps in year 9 for biathlon? Has the lack of PE taken that big a toll on my fitness level? Strange... But yes, I will probably fail my house. SORRY GUYS! But if all else fails, survival stroke ftw! :P
In other news, SO LIKE I HAD MY ART ASSESSMENT TODAY! Thing is, when we were sorting out the order for these presentations, I remember my name being called out for Wednesday. I don't know why I do, I just did. So I had been pep talking myself in chem period one for Wednesday and thinking "dw, you have a half day, you can sleep early on Tuesday night cause you're really tired from staying up so late last night. It's okay. You got this. Just bring the photos you developed and you'll be fine". Walk into Art period 2 and I hear Mrs Coombes say "Izzy, Kyleen, Lisa, Koshila, you're today." And I was like.. Wtf but yeah. Apparently I misheard. It was okay though. Like I was prepared enough. As in it's not like I could/would do any more preparation in the next 24 hours so I was good to go. It was just a bit of a surprise and I didn't have my developed photos so I just passed my laptop around. Pretty happy with the responses I got too. There was the "ngaw how cute" when the baby drawing was pulled out but then Miss was like "I can't look at that, it's freaking me out" (the baby was bleeding...) which was exactly the kind of response I wanted. So yeah, pretty happy :)

~~Day 17: Are you excited for the deathly hallows movie or are you scared it won't do the book justice?~~

Day 18: Least favourite book: Probably Order of the Phoenix. Still great but I think it dragged on a bit in some places and Umbridge was annoying. Yes, I know she was meant to be but it was frustrating to read :P But I did love it! Just not as much as the others :P

Day 16

2012-01-24T10:30:00.002+11:00

Day 16: Favourite Professor
DONT MAKE ME CHOOSE! Either Hagrid or Hooch cause they were cool :D Mcgonogall was awesoem too but Idno.Somethign about HAgrid and how he was so gentle when he was meant to be fierce...I just like that. And HOoch just cause she had cool eyes. lol Can you tell I have like two minutes to write this? kthxbye

Interlude

2012-01-17T12:13:00.000+11:00

I am so behind on blogs and the reading of blogs. When I sign onto my computer, it just takes so long for the internet to even start up and every time I click on something it lags some more so I just sign in, blog sign out. Unless I'm on my sister's mac (which is hardly ever) then that is all I do.
In other news, everyone is currently having fun in bondi while I'm stuck here doing nothing, waiting for my sister to get ready so we can go to centrelink to fill in some form or something. I dont know. So yes, not very happy about dat wun. Man, hanging out with my sister + her friends too much. Making me say weird things like "dat wun" and what not. Bit strange seeing as I barely see them. They're cool though as I'm sure I've expressed numerous times on this blog :P
So I finally started reading my related texts for English. Bad timing really cause they're both reasonably large novels and I have two weeks to finish them. I don't read as fast as I used to. I spent all of yesterday reading and only got through 200 pages of Those Faraday Girls :( Actually.. I don't know if that's fast or not. I think it's slower than before... I don;t know what the standard reading speed is. If such a thing exists. This is a very rambly blog post. Havem't had one of those in a while. But hey, this is what it turned out to be. At least something is being posted right :P I have limited time to right this, hence the inability to edit things cause I simply do not have time to read over and word things properly. Well I should be going. Sorry for the inconsistent posts. I plan on buying a laptop so I can blog whenever I want :P Haha bye all

Day 15

2012-01-12T16:13:00.000+11:00

Day 15: Who would be your best friends at Hogwarts? (three only)

I'm just going to share my thought process and say that I tried to find people similar to my close friends now. So based on that, Ginny, Luna and Oliver Wood. What a weird combo... But seriously. We have the really smart, pretty all rounded girl who has a likeable personality with little effort. Much like Maimai, Kabir, Lani, Vronca etc. Then there's the slightly strange, eccentric character who does whatever she lieks with little to no regard for what everyone else thinks which reminded me of Danicap, Holly and kinda maimai I guess :P Oliver Wood represents pretty much all my close guy friends. To me, he always seemed like a... older brother figure. I know he didn't have that big a role in the books/movies and most of the time he was yelling at people or freaking out about Quidditch but there was also the fact that he cared very much about his team and wanted to see them grow and learn (even if it was to his own benefit...let's just concentrate on the base characteristics shall we?) which is how I see all myguy friends. They even have that incredibly competitive side too :P (josep, Kuya, Pernickety, Colin, Vincent)

Worth it?

2012-01-06T19:10:00.000+11:00

There comes a point in a relationship - any kind of relationship - where you’re not quite sure if there’s a reason you’re doing what you’re doing. If your efforts are being recognised and appreciated as much as you want or need them to be. If they’re worth it.

With some people, it’s easy to figure out. Ask them a question you should know the answer to and if it isn’t what you expected, you don’t know them anymore and everything you based that relationship on is gone. So why keep it? Or go the other way. See if they know you; your mannerisms, habits and everything about you as well as they used to. A moment of hesitation or a third party consultation later and another person gets cut out of your life.

But then there are those people who you’re not quite sure how to deal with. You don’t even bother putting them through any specific test, you just get rid of them. Making sure every aspect is covered and your intentions are hidden. To you, they’re out either way so why bother formulating an intricate test that you know will result in a third goodbye anyway? It seems so simple and easy - and yet it’s usually these people that put up the hardest fight.

Day 14

2012-01-06T16:15:00.000+11:00

Day 14: Team Voldemort or Team Harry

What kind of question is that? Who would be on team Voldemort?? Team Harry obviously! Do I even need to offer an explanation? I'll just leave it at that.

Day 13

2012-01-02T20:21:00.000+11:00

So I have finally found the time and means to blog. Happy Christmas and New Year everybody! I sent New years texts to everyone in our grade whose number I had so yes, no need for a long winded blog post telling you how much I love us. And by us I mean the grade cause I really do. ANYWAY, so the past week or so has been a blur. My sister came back on the 21st then my parents came back on the 24th and it's been going out every day since which is pretty awesome so can't really complain but I wish I could blog more often. The computer is too slow, school laptop blocks anything fun and the only way I can blog is if I use my sister's mac which she rarely lets me use. She changed her password and everything! It's not like I used it without her knowing. But yes, that is why I do not blog as often. I apologise deeply.
I am so pumped for WEdnesday! I am going to the Harry Potter exhibition with my sister and it will be epic and fantastic and every other positive adjective I can't think of. I swear, if this thing doesn't live up to my expectations, i am not going to be a happy chappy >.> But I'm sure it will ^^
I went to the beach yesterday with my sisters, Joel (sister's fiancé) and Raelene and I got slapped by a wave. Now my neck is sore :/

Day 13: Least Favourite Movie
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. It dragged on for a bit I think and it cut out a lot of the interesting parts and Umbridge annoyed me. I still liked it but when I'm at home and in the mood to watch a Harry Potter movie, my hand always hovers over the covers of all of them except the fifth. It's weird though. I say it dragged out but then it also feels a bit rushed like they just skimmed over the details of some of the events. I guess that's just cause the book was so long and there was so much to include that that was all they could really do. But yeah, that's why it is my least favourite.

Day 12

2011-12-21T18:28:00.001+11:00

My sister has finally arrived! Which probably means I will be posting less cause I'll spend practically every day for the next almost two weeks with her. Should be fun :) We still have not thought of a solution for Christmas Eve :/ But we WILL!
So it has come to my attention that we are coming to the conclusion of another year. The past two or so years (however many it's been since I started this blog), I've written a bit of a reflection at the end of the year, evaluating the year and whatnot. Usually in response to the New Year's Resolutions I made at the beginning. But screw that, I'm pretty sure I didn't make any at the beginning of this year and if you asked me now, I seriously would not be able to effectively talk about this year in terms of the good/bad times, what I've learned etcetc. But maybe things will change when we get closer to the end of the year. Or maybe even in the first week of next, I might decide to do one and set new new years resolutions. ALthough, I vaguely recall saying last year that I would stop with the resolutions and just learn lessons as they come/make myself new promises when I see they are necessary. So that's one less thing for you people to look forward too.. heh 8)

Day 12: Favourite ship
I don't really know tbh. I don't think Harry Potter was the kind of series for you to have a clear favourite. I guess in terms of who seemed to have the most chemistry, I'd say Harry and Ginny? There was a fair bit of tension there. Also, I don't know why, but I really really really liked Dean. Wow, why didn't I list him as my favourite? My bad... :P But yeah, I loved him .'. I loved him and Ginny. So there. Deal with it

Day 11

2011-12-20T18:19:00.001+11:00

SISTER IS COMING TOMORROW WHEEEEEEE :D
Parents should have come today but stuff happened and they extended to the 24th D:
Had to clean my room today to make it habitable. Well, it was fine for me. And probably for my sister when she gets here too but meh, it's about time I cleaned it :/
So excited for Christmas! Well, I want to be and I kinda am but then I remember that my parents are coming back on Christmas eve. AT NIGHT TIME! And every year for as long as I can remember, we've spent Christmas eve with my cousins, had an awesome dinner and counted down til it was Christmas. Like new years but not :P Then we'd go home, sleep then go back to their house for another dinner. Filo gatherings few (H)
STill don't know what I'm doing for New Years day though :(
Seriously, my sister(s) better not change their mind about hp exhibition. I rejected the group outing thing because my sister told me to. if things change, I will not be a happy chappy >=(

Day 11: What character would you say you're most like?

Oooh that is a difficult one. Hm, I'd say;

Hermione from the first few books cause she seemed to like to be in control and was afraid to break the rules.
Luna's weirdness... Obviously not to that extent
Ron's clumsiness
Fred and George's immaturity/cheekiness
James Potter's arrogance (lol...)
Lily's and Molly's motherly..ness
Voldemort's selfishness and lack of nobility/ability to think of others
Cho's incredibly emotional self

HAHA! That didn't even answer the question :P But yeah, I don't think there is any one character that encompasses all my qualities or even most of them all at the same time. Mainly because I have very contradictory personality traits. By which I mean I'm either really really immature and childish (Fred and George) or really really motherly (Lily/Molly) etcetc

Day 10

2011-12-19T18:02:00.001+11:00

Today was such a brilliant day. Hanging out with the girls for the first time in aaaages. Perfect send off for my beloved Maimai :) Hope you have fun in the Philippines ! Take plenty of photos and be inspired :) The new water park in Darling Harbour is friggen awesome man. I didn't even care that I put a little bit of effort to get dressed up (come on man, we were having lunch and it was the city with the girls, I FELT LIKE BEING A LITTLE BIT FANCY OKAY?) I went insaaaaane! I always do when Maimai is there. And plus, Melanie and I hadn't gone that high together in a while. Today was just an awesome day to reconnect :)
Today was also my first day of caps! I mean, I've been to the place once before with Annie, Anna O and Danicap but we didn't take photos. So yeah today was my first time of doing that one :P I think it's about time I did it because High School is probably the only time Caps is acceptable :P (No offence to uni kids who still do caps.. O_O)
Lunch was awesome too. Lol, I blogged this out of order. Pretend this paragraph was before the one above this. I could just reformat this but I've been trying this thing where I don't use backspace unless I'm fixing up a spelling mistake or something. Raw thoughts ftw! Although, that could be dangerous too.. We'll see :P But yeah, nice pick Danielle :D I love asian food. And no matter how short the time frame is since I last had asian food, I'm almost always craving it. If someone mentions asian food, Instant Cravings ! Yeah... I love food :')
My sister's coming back in two days and I am soooo excited! :D

Day 10: Horcruxes or Hallows
HALLOWS! What kind of question is that? I'd never be able to kill! And beside, Horcruxes just split your soul up, hallows have their own power which I find pretty cool. If you haven't noticed yet, I love magic :P When I was little, my best friend and I used to play a game where we were sisters who also had magic powers. Honestly, that game went from year 1 to year 5/early year 6. Different variations of it but y'know, still had powers. This is getting off topic in terms of answering this day's challenge but I've already answered but it seems too short, so allow me to ramble for a bit :P
SO! My favourite kind of magic type thing is when each person has their own specialty. Like xmen. I don't know why. I just looove that concept! Especially when it comes to elements. Like Avatar. Controlling elements and stuff, (as in wind earth fire water not the periodic table...) just seems really cool and I think it's a brilliant idea for a power. In aforementioned game with best friend, I started off being some chick who could control nature (kinda like Ferngully/winx club style thing). SO like plants and vines and my magic source was a special vine stick LOL omgsh Can't believe I still remember all this ! This was like... 2 months ago. Jokes, it was... oh wow. Ten years ago! :O
That was probably our most epic magic era cause after that, our imagination wasn't that great and we ended up being genie type witches where we just said we wanted something and it happened if we made a few lines that rhymed. Like Sabrina! From that, we became the charmed sisters :D looool. COme on, how many of you girls did that? Don't remember what came after that. That might have been the last one :P But yeah, that is my story. Thank you for listening/reading. Now you have another reason to find me weird. Heh . O_O

Day 9

2011-12-18T18:02:00.001+11:00

Hello all, so school's over and it's a rather strange feeling. No more obligation to do work. Well, we still have holiday homework but I have adages for that (heh, wonder what I'll be saying in five and a half weeks). Man, I got a letter from centrelink a couple of weeks ago saying my card thingy was going to expire and to call some number to renew it if I was still at school etcetc BUT EVERY TIME I'VE TRIED, IT'S BEEN "OUTSIDE OF CUSTOMER SERVICE HOURS". ANd no, this is not a case of Kyleen was too lazy to call multiple times or called at ridiculous hours of the day. I'm talking 5 ish after school on several occasions. So I figured, huh, maybe they close really early. So I call at 10am BUT NO, THEY STILL DON'T HAVE THE TIEM FOR ME! And I need to make this call before the 21st or I am screwed D: I couldn't call any earlier than 5 on weekdays because seriously, I don't remember the last time I got home from school at the normal time (3:30ish). This week alone, I've gotten home at 5-6. Speaking of which, quick recap of the week:

Monday, finalised roles for Swimming Carnival video and made Executive Student Journalist for Yearbook committee :D Sooo excited! And I think I'm the only one boasting about it but I'm happy so don't judge me :$ Had extension 2 after school today and I am still so lost as to how to carry out my idea :/ Same with art ><
Tuesday, Bio party as a farewell to Clement :D
Filming after school for an hour and then Extension 1 where I actually fell asleep, woke up an hour earlier and almost knocked off the container of meringues...
Wednesday: More filming periods one and two, crashed Robson's class to film me doing Chemistry Calculations.. SORRY FOR THE MULTIPLE STUFF UPS ^^" Alsoooo, I think I left my calculator in that room :( Went to livo after we finished all the filming. Man, so proud to be part of Lachlan, I think we worked really efficiently :)
Thursday; got called up for truanting... oops 8) Probably should have told Mrs Davis I was going to be with Miss Fox. Oh my gosh, felt so out of things. Randomly gatecrashing the mock trial party. O_O
Friday: Last day of school! Such a bludge. Got annoyed that we didn't have early finish and oh my gosh stupid Mr Peck and his stupid leaving... Cried more than I thought I would. Pretty sure Qandeel, Priya, Monica and stuff can vouch for that but grisgfvdnfgd it was insane. Then after school, Nick and I were about to walk out of the school but decided to say bye to Fox, Peck and Singh and Miss Fox is so sweet and thgreigdg :( Going to miss those teachers so much
yesterday I went shopping with my sister for new clothes for Christmas and New Years. Decided to be different and bought two maxi dresses, a lace baby doll dress, two belts and a ring. Cost like $100 all up (H)

Day 9: Least Favourite Male Character
Cormac McLaggen was annoying as heck. He was so up himself and all high and mighty. And he acted like he knew exactly what girls wanted and how he could woo them oh so easily. No, Just no! You're not that great. Arrogance annoys me so much. Which is probably hypocritical but that's not the point I'm making right now ! :P But yes, Cormac McLaggen irritated me ==

Also, I was reading through some of my older posts and it amuses me how, in some aspects, I have not changed at all. And I had more pictures in my old posts. I should start that again...

Day 8

2011-12-10T18:20:00.000+11:00

Day 8: What do you think would be your favourite lesson?

Defence Against the Dark Arts cause I like being able to defend myself. I swear I have some weird cynical side to me that is capable of murder. I was looking for my School Certificate the other night, trying to get a hold of my Student Number and when I looked into a basket under my bed, there was a knife. I don't know what it's still doing there. I mean.. it shouldn't be there in the first place *shifty look* But yes, Defence Against the Dark Arts sounds fun and I love Lupin's last exam with the obstacle course. I thought that was pretty cool. And when i play with my HP wand, I usually say those kinda spells... you know the ones that one would learn in a DADA lesson.
I think I'd really like potions too. I mean, I like it on Pottermore and I'd feel really accomplished if I did it properly. aaand I like following a set of instructions like that... It's a weird interest of mine but when there is a list of objectives in front of me and outlines exactly what I need to/should do, I feel so efficient when I cross it off the list one by one and it's just so satisfying!

Day 7

2011-12-08T19:04:00.002+11:00

I am so excited for everything! Swimming carnival, swimming carnival video making, end of the year, christmas, new years, tomorrow, year book. Everything is beginning to happen and be planned and now, after looking at the year tens' formal photos on Facebook, I am not also looking forward to ours. Oh my gosh I am going to make the most of this year. So ready to just have a ton of fun at all the school events and go nuts and omgsh this year will be the first year I go finals night. And i can't not be allowed. I have to be there! So yes, I am very excited.
Alsoooo... Carissa is the best and I love her very very much :) I also miss her. A lot ! :D

Day 7: Favourite female character and why

Toss up between Hermione and Luna. Yes I know, it might be a bit typical to pick Hermione but she is a brilliant character. She is almost exactly what (I'm sorry for the reference) Atwood was talking about. A multidimensional character who doesn't just sit down and be a loyal lady friend. Yes she is that, but we've all seen that that girl can kick ass. She's intelligent and while that annoys some people (Ron), she is in no way subservient and she won't sacrifice her intelligence to make herself accepted. She's true to herself and never acts dumb to get attention, nor does she rely on her femininity/sexuality to appeal to other characters. And she doesn't define herself as the damsel in distress as one would expect of the only girl in a trio. Often, she is the one coming up with solutions. In saying that though, there are her moments of emotional weakness that are seen in the books. She does get sad and scared, which just makes her realistic. She isn't perfect and she doesn't pretend to be. Nor does JK Rowling expect people to think she is. To me, Hermione is just absolutely brilliant.
Now Luna is probably the only person in both real life and novels that doesn't give a damn what anyone else thinks (If you've watched the latest Harry Potter special features on dvd, you'd realise that that is a quote from JK Rowling :P). She's so interesting and a bit out of it and odd. I love odd. And I love hwo Luna is a bit strange and a bit far fetched but you know there's some wisdom in her and she is a really clever person - she's in Ravenclaw. Of course she's smart.
It's a bit weird that these two characters are my favourites because they're like.. complete opposites :P Oh well

Day 6

For English Extension 2, we have to hand in a journal but it can't have anything in it that has our name so Miss Young told us to come up with a nom de plume. So like.. an alias type thing and I couldn't think of anything to write without sounding like a loser so I just used my pottermore name :P I shall now be known as bloodpatronus in my Ext2 works ! YEEEEEAH BOY!
I really need to get my fringe cut. For me, I know my fringe is long when I can tuck it behind my ear and not have it fall out. Then it's not even a fringe anymore and it's really annoying because my neck gets sore from tilting my head to the right :/ <-- The tragedy that is my life :P I am so pumped for the end of the year man. I am just so not bothered with school anymore and I've not been doing that well in terms of assessments.
In other news, I FINALLY GOT HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART 2 ON DVD AND I AM SO HAPPY! Well this happened about a week ago so that excitement isn't as... big as it was when I first took it home :P I watched the special features and oh my gosh I cried! The women of Harry Potter are amazing and I was watching JK Rowling talk about them and I was just filled with amazement. JK Rowling, to me, you did exactly what Atwood said people should do ! :O Man, English has me analysing everything critically. I've been analytsing movies I watch for fun, light reading books, even emails. I'm kidding about the last one. I don't send emails. But seriously, it's insane D: And a little irritating. Can't enjoy some of the thing I watch/read anymore :(
Also good job to the mock trial team for their competition at the grand final :D Love watching you guys ! Thanks for taking Hurlstone so far! :D

Day 6: What house would you want to be in and why?
Ravenclaw. Hands down. Without a doubt. Ravenclaw. Because the sorting hat says they're clever. And I like to be thought as clever! Slytherin seem a bit full of themselves, Gryffindor is admirable but a little arrogant and Hufflepuff.. psh what is Hufflepuff? :P But yes, I'd love to be in Ravenclaw and I love how their common room entrance security thing is more than just a code the students have to remember. So many people would know that I love puzzles, codes and riddles. It's just so much fun to me ! :D

Day 5

2011-12-06T18:47:00.000+11:00

Day 5: Fave male character and why

This is actually quite a hard one. First person that came into my head was Fred/George (for the sake of this, let's keep them as the same person) because they are so happy-go-lucky and cheeky. And I love cheeky! Then of course, Snape popped into my head. And James. I love James! He may be arrogant and stuff but I dno, I just love him! Draco definitely has enough mystery to keep me interested and you can see that there's some gentleness in him too and it's just really intriguing. Sirius and Lupin are pretty epic too... Do you see where I'm going with this?

I like Robert Pattinson. Not Edward Cullen

2011-12-06T18:43:00.000+11:00

Hi all! I'm sorry, I know it's been two week since I last blogged. Well, more than two weeks. And as much as I'd like to say I was busy studying or whatever, you and I both know that I wasn't. In all honesty, the only reason I haven't been blogging lately is because I was capped. Yeah I got capped after like two weeks! How ridicurous ! Anyway, quick update on my life (cause you know... you're all oh so interested):

Parents are in the Philippines for a month. Party at Kyleen's house! I'm kidding
Because parents are in the Philippines, I can't ask them about SYC which probably means I won't be going D:
I hate maths.
I feel abandoned by my teachers.
Love being House captain and I am so pumped for the filming week :D
I can't think of anything else...

Wow, I go missing for two weeks and that's all I have to say? Now you know how eventful my life is.. ehe . ^^

Day 4

2011-11-18T19:09:00.000+11:00

Day 4: Least favourite female character and why

Cho Chang. Yes I know many people would say the obvious choice is like.. Umbridge or Bellatrix or something but I think both those characters added a fifth dimension (hehe) to the books and made it something other than breakfast (I'm trying to memorise stuff for english, leave me alone...). Seriously though, Umbridge was annoying but she formed the bulk of the fifth book and gave the readers something to hate, encompassing all the negative qualities in one character to become the antagonist in the novel. Oh gosh I'm sorry for such an... analytical sounding response :P

So why Cho Chang? Because she was boring. She didn't really do much. Yes, her and Harry dated and she was his first kiss and provided a little romance but it wasn't worth all her melodrama and annoying whines and whatever else. She was so needy and OMGSH YOU LIKE HERMIONE BETTER THAN ME AND YOU AGREED TO MEET YOUR FRIEND OF 5 YEARS AFTER OUR TIME TOGETHER TODAY WHEN THIS IS MEANT TO BE OUR FIRST DATE? HOW COULD YOU? Yeah Harry was probably a little tactless but suck it up princess, he has a world outside of you! And I think the entire time she was a part of the book, she had a thing for both Harry and Cedric and was enjoying all the attention she got for having the two 'it' guys of the school chasing after her. When Harry asked her to the Yule Ball she was all "I really am sorry" as if she actually did want to go with Harry. THEN WHY SAY YES TO CEDRIC YOU SILLY GIRL? And then her first kiss with Harry was done while she was moping over Cedric as if she was still into him. Okay, maybe I'm being a bit harsh with the last one seeing as she was crying over his death but y'know, PICK ONE AND STICK TO THEM :@

All we're left with is regret

2011-11-18T18:56:00.001+11:00

I am seriously loving the house rivalry. It's all friendly and stuff and it makes everyone pumped and I just love it! Lachlan wasn't even planning to have a house meeting until Joel and Jodie walked up to me at recess asking where our meeting was. Good job on Joki, Grady and Daniel for getting it together so quickly :P Still a bit of disagreements in terms of themes but we'll figure it out soon enough I suppose :D

My sister asked me to go the night markets with her and her friends today, and last week I said I'd go with them but today, she asked me again and I said no. WHY DID I SAY NO? I'm so silly, I wish I went :P Her friends are cool and the night markets are cool. I assume, seeing as I've never been. LOL my sister called asking me if I was sure she didn't want them to pick me up and her way to get me to come was "It's an Asian night market. There will be lots of cute Asian boys -hinty voice-" Oh I love my sister :')

In other news, thank you so much Luke for being part of my experiment/draft photos for art BoW on Wednesday! :D Even though it was a bit awkward at times when teachers/students would walk past while you were posing in various areas of the school (hehe), you did an awesome job. And thank you maimai for taking such brilliant photos! Once again, capturing exactly what I was thinking and stuff. You are an amazing photographer :) First assessments of year 12 are coming up! I have barely studied for bio and omgsh I'm going to fail. GOOD THING I'M DROPPING IT THEN :@

Day 3

2011-11-17T18:40:00.001+11:00

Day 3: Is there any of the films adaptations that have made you angry because they've ignored important parts of the book?

Like I said before, from the third one onwards, it strayed from the original storyline more and more. But the fourth one was probably the biggest let down because there was no Winky or Ludo Bagman and they moth seemed like interesting characters! And the Barty Crouch incident wasn't as well explained as the one in the book that included a relatively complex plan with Winky.
Then there's the fifth book which practically completely cut out the whole explanation Dumbledore gave Harry at the end of the fifth book. Now that I think about it, they left out the explanation at the end of the fourth book too. Hmm, this makes me wonder how well I'd understand the plot line of Harry Potter if I hadn't read the books before watching the movie...

One Direction - What Makes You Beautiful

2011-11-17T17:52:00.000+11:00

This song is so catchy and it's so fun to get into ! So obsessed with it right now :P

Day 2

2011-11-11T20:35:00.001+11:00

Favourite Movie; Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

In terms of the movies I think from the third one onwards, they become further and further away from the original storyline that was in the book. The first and second were pretty close but I enjoyed the plot of the second one more. Just because I think snakes are cool :P It was pretty close between second and first one but I realised, given the choice, I would rather watch the second one.

I remember when I was younger I used to watch it literally every day when I got home from school and now when I watch it, I can say every single line with the characters. It’s quite fun but it irritates the heck out of the people I’m watching with. There’s a fun fact of the day for you guys…

Day 1

2011-11-09T19:40:00.001+11:00

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
Honestly, I don’t remember why this one is my favourite. I’ve read it so many times but I rememeber the first time I read it (admittedly after the fifth one came out), I loved it. And each book that came out after I would always finish reading and think ‘nah Azkaban was better’.
I think it’s because it’s the first to actually get into the plotline that flows through the entire series. Like the first two weren’t separate from each other but you could watch the second one without watching the first and get what was going on. Know what I mean? I tend to not make sense :/
POINT IS, I like it. And I liked the final exam Lupin set up I loved him as a character too. And the whole concept of time travel was done neatly. It's probably one of the few texts (from what I know) that includes time travel with very few holes and questions to be asked.

WOW NATHAN USED MY TITLE FOR THE LAST POST :O

2011-11-09T19:37:00.000+11:00

"Immerse yourself in the medium you plan on doing your major work in" says Miss Young to Extension 2 kids. And immerse I shall! I went to the library with maimai today and got five or so books on Poetry, about poetry, how to write poetry etcetc. Last lesson, Miss told me to look at more contemporary poems rather than just classic Edgar Allan Poe (:( ) and since I was planning on writing gothic poetry, I was trying to find some gothic poems that weren't Edgar Allan Poe. I found one that's about emotions (mainly sadness) and I guess it has a tinge of Gothic but most of the contemporary poems are about war or something.
In other news, I like making new friends :) But it's sad because it seems like I have a cap on the amount of friends I can have. Well not really have more like.. stay close to? As in consistent conversations and stuff. Every time I've started talking to someone new, I drift away from someone else. It's not like I do it intentionally! It's just something I've observed. Although it's probably a coincidence that I managed to find a pattern in. I'm obsessed with finding patterns in things. Like when I was younger, I used to sleep in my grandma's room and she had a painting that had a rose bush in the corner and I used to lie in bed and look at the painting, making patterns out of roses. I found a fair few pictures and stuff. So to me, that rose bush will always be teeming with foxes, wolves and the like. Oh how I love the power of imagination :')

Cut me some slack, it was taken by a webcam!

You Always Think You're Right

2011-11-07T18:37:00.000+11:00

You know what really bugs me? Well more two things that really bug me but only one of which I am going to go in depth about. First, stereotypes. Mainly gender. But I've ranted about that on this blog before so let's not go into detail. The other thing (and yes, this is referring to you person who should know who they are) is when people say "you always think you're right"
First of all, this is a generalisation and you can't really sufficiently back it up. Which I guess isn't that much of an issue considering most claims are general. And well, while I can't speak for everyone, I know that I, personally, never claim to always be right. True, I am not always the most civilised person when it comes to voicing my opinions and I do have many opinions :P But I know that I am constantly saying "I don't think I'm right but... [insert thought here]". And while some people might think I'm just saying that as a false defense, I'm not. I know I say that. My email to my English group after I finished the group work was covered in things like that.So no, I do not always think I'm right.
But that's a more personal thing that applies only to me (as far as I know). What really bugs me about when people say "You always think you're right" is that.. it's not much of a.. hm I don't really know how to explain it. But it's unnecessarily accusatory. YOU ALWAYS THINK YOU'RE RIGHT! Um.. well, of course I do, why would I be saying things if I didn't think they were right? It's a ridiculous statement. I mean, when people say it, it's usually to point out a flaw. But it's kind of a given isn't it? Every one says things because they believe it to be right or true or whatever synonym you can come up with. It's not like you'd be jumping around screaming something you know isn't true. Obviously the things you say are said for a reason. So maybe some people do always think they're right, but is that actually a bad thing or is it just them being reasonable?

Writer's block

2011-11-06T19:23:00.001+11:00

I have a 1200 word story to write for english extension 2 tomorrow. I have like 231 so far and I can't think of what to write. All I've done is introduce a setting. I don't even know how to describe the character and what he's wearing. He doesn't even have a name D: Why is Miss Young making us all write short stories for homework when most of us aren't even writing a short story for our major work? :( Tis rather ridiculous.
In other news, my sister went back to Singapore today. Well she will be. Her flight was meant to be at 5.30 so we dropped her off, said our goodbyes only to find out her plane got delayed til 9.40. WE COULD HAVE GONE BEACH OR SOMETHING! Ah well. It was a good ten days :) For some reason, I wasn't sad. Nor did I cry. I don't think I treated it as a fairwell. Like maybe a brief parting and she'll be home tonight kinda thing but I'm usually bawling like a baby when she leaves. I think this happened last time too. Maybe I'm getting used to it :O Eh, she'll be back in three weeks for christmas so yay ! And we can go Carols in the Domain with the sisters, the cousins and the sisterseses friends! :D Should be fun. Oh I am already pumped in advance :)
My sister got me a necklace for my birthday and I was meant to bring it on Friday so I could show people. Now, a lot of people might be thinking 'wth why you showing it off? It's a necklace', but I think some of you would appreciate it :/ Either that or you'll think I'm really lame. Let's hope it ISN'T the latter shall we? Oh crap, I need to remind Luke to bring stuff for tomorrow for my art thing. Gah! For the ten days my sister was here, I neglected school work and I have a feeling I'm going to pay the price big time :P Eh, I'm dropping bio (Yeah I think I finally decided). That is all .

I'd Rather Be With You

2011-11-04T19:55:00.000+11:00

Hi all! Only two more days of my sister being here :( Tis quite the tragedy I believe but eh, I'll live. After a few tears... But I'll live! In other news, house captain nominations are coming up and I think it would be really fun to be a house captain and I would want to do it and from what I hear, there aren't many girls trying out to be house captain for Lachlan, so maybe I have a chance ? :P I just think it would be awesome if I could be part of the house spirit stuff and I would go for it... if only I could swim 8) Cause yknow how House captains have that relay thing at every swimming carnival that EVERYBODY watches? Yeah well.. I'd make a fool of myself AND let my house down. Seriously, that is the only thing stopping me from doing it :( Too bad it's a pretty big thing... I mean, I can kinda swim. As in, i'd be able to do a lap of the pool. At a very.. leisurely rate in a stroke I'm not even sure exists. So yes. Competitive Lachlan people would eat me for being so slow and pathetic :P But it's still a possibility! So I guess I'll just have to wait and see :P I might end up just handing in a form anyway because I'd probably regret it if I didn't go for it. And Hurlstone is a very family-like, fun-loving and supportive bunch right? It won't be TOO humiliating... right??
Alsoooo, my other sister's friends are here again tonight so yay! :D Should be another fun filled adventure! If only I didn't go to sleep at 12 last night, I'd have more energy to do things 8) Should have napped before they came. Oh well. I'll live. Just lots and lots of coffee! I DON'T EVEN LIKE COFFEE. I'm rambling.. not like you guys aren't used to it. Monday I need to take photos for Art. Gah, I'm hoping it's windy! IT NEEDS TO BE WINDY! Or I need to dig up a fan in the school :D :D :D
That is all .

Birthday Dinner the Second

So I decided to split the last post up because it was a bit long and the end of one day sounded like too much of a conclusion for me to want to reopen it, if you know what I mean. So yesterday we had a not-so surprise birthday dinner for my sister at Rashay's. The dinner itself was pretty... average. Well, the food was amazing but you know but there weren't any particular highlights. Not saying it was boring but compared to what happened after, it was average :P My sister's friends are so cool ! We all went back to my house and hung out in the living room talking. Everyone was still really tired from the night before though so it was a pretty slow start with us lazing around on the couches in front of the aircon too tired and lazy to move.

My sister's friends had prepared a slideshow for her so we all gathered in the living room after about an hour of them trying to figure it all out. It was really sweet :) We played Just Dance for a bit and man, I felt so awkward dancing in front of my sister's friends like that D: But she made me and I couldn't turn her down on her almost birthday ! At around 10, the girls minus me went into my sisters room to play around on her mac and the boys plus me were talking about anime and things were beginning to die down and we were just talking and Dhivesh was like "alright we'll leave at 10:30" But then we started talking about pokemon and digimon. And eventually, the other girls came out and we were just bringing up all the really old children's shows and trying to rememebr their theme songs and stuff! It was so fun :P I think we actually talked about every single kids show there was. Not even kidding man O_O

So that went on for a few hours and then we started doing riddles and games and puzzles like the Very Simple Game and stuff. IT was sooo much fun. And teh whole time, I was sitting next to Joel, too comofrtable and lazy to move, while he kept making the stupidest comments that made no sense. Oh good times :')

Still need to change my skin...

So annoyed right now. Well not really, I've just lost a lot of things, LIKE THAI'S BIRTHDAY LETTER AND 350GB WORTH OF STUFF ON MY HARD DRIVE! And I'm not as annoyed/upset/angry as I should be. It's a bit strange really. So the last few days have been so awesome and amazing and I love everybody! My sister arrived in Australia on Wednesday night at like 11ish as a "Birthday Surprise" but I saw it coming, yknow.. like the detective I am (H)
OH QUICK INTERRUPTION, I THINK I HAVE FOUND A WAY TO GET MY STUFF BACK ON MY HARD DRIVE THANKS TO SUNNY :D
Okay, back to my story... Yes so Thursday I spent the night hanging out with my sisters and my not Singapore sister's boyfriend came over and we were watching home videos until around 10:30. So sleep deprived because when I stay up late on school nights, I usually nap the next day but I can't when my sister's here so yeah...
Friday was my Birthday and oh my gosh I love Hurlstone! Seriously, you guys are an amazing group of people and you made me so happy for the entire day with the endless Birthday songs in practically every class I went to, the mango birthday cake at recess (even though I was distracted by the pick punch) and all the hugs :) Thank you Jimmy for the Hitsugaya poster, Thommo, Rafi and Kabir for the pick punch, Nathan for the awesome Hogwarts style letter :D, Kabri and Rafi for the purple card that got me teary and Thai for your letter WHICH I WILL REWRITE FROM WHAT I REMEMBER. There's an upside to trying to decipher a code; you memorise most of it :P
Dinner with some of my nearest and dearest friends, Avi, Nick, Monica, Raelene, Luke, Lisa, Amy, Melanie, Lani and Mariel (that's in the order they were sitting in) at TK something and a movie with my sisters, Raelene and my sisters friends. It was an amazing night with Patrick the waiter who kept hitting on Raelene (;P), Nick's lostiness, Nick and me picking on Avi, Raelene being antisocial (jokes, she's so charming O_O) and general good company :) My sister's friends were there too cause it was like.. a joint birthday dinner because her birthday is four days after mine and I love her friends. One of her best friends reminds me of Avi and when I introduced them to each other, I felt like I was seeing double. hehe :P Thank you Ukel for the awesome birthday card :D I loved it! and Maimai for the really long letter. Omgsh I read them both in the car on the way to the cinema and started crying. Good thing it was dark 8)
Went to watch Paranormal Activity 3 afterwards. Nick and Lisa couldn't make it :( And I really wanted Nick to come cause he's funny in scary movies :P It was okay. Like the scary to not scary ratio was a bit crap but the last 20 minutes or so were pretty good. I was sitting next to Arnie and he kept laughing at everyone else's reaction. Love that coping mechanism... After the movie, we all went back to my house and talked for aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages until my sister's friends left at like 1am and Raelene slept over. Except, my sisters were scared to sleep alone so we all slept in my room on the big ass bed. Man.. four people in one bed. I was comfortable :P But apparently I move a lot in my sleep and my sister and Raelene barely slept.. ehe . oops :$
All in all, my birthday was amazing thanks to all you lovely people. And yes, I have noticed that I've used the word "amazing" so many times in this blog post, but I really don't know how else to describe it. It was an incredible day and night and I have you guys to thank for it :) Until next time !

I'm good at hiding

Hypothetical .
Little things happen in life. Bad little things. But you get over it, move on. You're bothered for a little while but eventually you accept it and be happy again. You think 'oh well, that sucks but it's okay.' but what if all those little things happen, one after the other until you've said 'oh well' one too many times and all of the little things add up to make on really big thing? Now what if that one little thing that pushes you over the edge is a really big thing that means a lot to you?
Things are blown out of proportion and you're an emotional wreck, wallowing in self pity, waiting for a confidence boost you're scared won't ever come.

But it doesn't matter, because this is all a hypothetical situation right?

I'm Not Okay

2011-10-21T17:44:00.001+11:00

SO GLAD THAT THE PREFECTS ARE BACK! Rafi, Lisa and I came back from blood donations and waited outside the office for a bit to see if they'd be back at school soon but then we called Thai and Avi (neither of which picked up) until we talked to Nicholas and discovered they were just leaving but would be back before school ended. So we walked Rafi to maths in the Ag rooms (Random much?), got shunned by the 3U kids and talked to Mr Gee for a bit before going on our merry way to our room. The whole time, we kept lookin gout the door trying to see if they'd returned yet. We moved to the very front of the room so we could get a better view. FINALLY, at around 2:50, I see a bus pull up and I'm like "LISA! LISA LISA!! THEY'RE BACK OMGSH THEY'RE BACK!" So we both start going crazy and begging miss to let us out so we could say hi but she kept saying no :( The second the bell went, Lisa and I bolted outside and jumped on Mariel and Mel... Well Mariel did the jumping yknow, her being short and all ;D hehe I love you Captain Maimai :D
Seriously, I can not explain how much I missed them. Thai called me on both nights. And I teared up both times.. both while I was on the phone to maimai.. strange :P But yes, on the second night I burst into tears when I discovered Mariel was captain. But that makes me scared. I mean, I know I'm emotional and sentimental but if this is how I react when a very small portion of the grade is gone for just three days, how the heck am I meant to survive the end of year 12 huh?? I keep trying to not think about it but I can't help it, there are always constant reminders of it and gah D: I'm going to die. Honestly, I actually have no idea how I'm going to cope with it.
On another note, going back to teh blood donation thing, I couldn't give blood today. Which sucks. THe finger prick showed that my iron levels were too low so they had to get a bigger sample to check. They poked my right arm so that the left arm could still be used if my iron levels were okay for me to give blood but after poking the needle in and wiggling it around for a bit, trying to find a vein that I knew would be difficult to find (which is why they always poke my left arm), they took it out and pricked the other arm instead to get the sample. So even if my iron levels WERE okay (They're not) I wouldn't have been able to give blood anyway cause both arms had already been stabbed. Yeah.. stabbed. Make it sound more dramatic than it is.. ehe ^^" So that's my epic story. This has been a very self absorbed blog post :P I shall leave you kids to it now then :)
P.s. In case you guys noticed/cared (which I doubt), I haven't been doing the writing challenge because the next one is to handwrite your favourite quote and I'm trying to decide what that is :P That is all.

So lonesome

2011-10-19T21:03:00.000+11:00

So lonely. So very very lonely. A bunch of people are having fun at prefect camp while the rest of us endure hours of school, possibly with teachers that don't teach or are boring. As Danicap and Lisa said "Even though you have faith in your faculty, we don't".Harsh I know, but I guess it all comes down to personal preferences and how we like to be taught and what teaching styles work for us. I'm so glad that I stayed in my English class. Mrs Davis is an amazing teacher and I loved our class. More than the class I have now. But I Think that's just the conservative in me talking. After a few weeks, when everything settles down, I'll probably be my normal OMGSH I LOVE MY CLASS self again and all will be well :) But for now, I feel slightly intimidated by my class? Like I don't like volunteering as much because I feel like they're all judging me. Which they probably aren't. And I'm not saying that my new classmates are bad or in any way hard to work with, I'm just not used to them yet yknow? Yes. That's right. It's not them. It's me.

Today I left school at 12 and went livo with Jimmy, Nathan, Rafi and Stephen cause we were all bored. Ate, walked around for a bit before Stephen left then we went to a music store and bought stuff. After going to Allan's music store in the city, every other store looks mediocre. I'm sorry but that place is amazing and I could spend hours in there. I wish I was more musically talented and could do more things and play more instruments :( *glares enviously at Wendy*

I need to change my blogskin. This one is too brown for my liking and there are too many different variations of it on different computers. Maybe my other ones did too but I wasn't aware of it and that makes it aaall better. But yes, I will get to that as soon as I am bothered. I also need to decide what subjects to drop because now I have 14 units. I want to drop bio but I don't want to go extension English online so I'm thinking I'll do senior science (because apparently it's moregeneral than the other sciences so hopefully that means easier?) on that line instead. Still 14 units, less effort ;D But I think that's still too many :/ Gah. What if I take up senior science on the same line as bio, have 14 units but don't care about senior because I'm only picking it up so I don't go online? Sounds like a plan! Unles they change the timetable and lines around then... :S

I'm not Moving

I have spent so much of my time lately thinking about art, doing sketches, finding pretty pictures and stuff to fill my VAPD which I guess is a good thing. The only not so good thing is that this means that everything is really scattered with no real order. It's just OOH RANDOM IDEA -scribbles it down- and you guys know me, a tad OCD and always wanting things to be in order... when it comes to books anyway. I just thought of that time Joseph said he couldn't imagine my desk being organised :( It's true though.. anywaaaay yes so, this lack of order in my vapd is bothering me. And I think too much. Like waaaay too much so I always think there are regulations with the VAPD when really, there aren't. No matter how many times miss says that, I still think 'oh there must still be some kind of rule or regulation that's just common sense right?' But there isn't. ISO I think that I will, for once, not make everything organised and in order because it's meant to track your thought process right? And the only way you can genuinely do that is if you add things in when you think it right? I MAKE SENSE DON'T I???? Well as long as the logic works for me, it's good enough XP (thank you Lisa for helping me realise that xD)

Tomorrow, I will be going to Officeworks to buy the hardcover books I really liked. yes the flimsiness of the books I bought annoyed me THAT much. Did I even blog about that? Or did I just tweet it? Oh well, point is, they weren't there when I tried to buy them so I settled for crappy not hard cover ones and they annoy me so I'm going tomorrow to buy them. Wow I just repeated myself big time. Ah well, I was going to write more on that topic but I lost my train of thought.

This weekend, Phantom of the Opera is showing in cinemas and I really really really wanted to go cause I love Phantom of the Opera but my date cancelled on me. Lol I've always wanted to say that. Yes, I've always wanted to say that someone cancelled on me O_O wth I'm weird... ANYWAY, (I really need to stop going off on a tangent) I'm kidding. Half. They did, but I wouldn't have been able to go anyway because my sister's fiance arrived today and it would have been rude to leave the house in his presence :P So no biggie. I have a different version on dvd anyway. But I really wanted to see this one because it was the actual performance that was filmed. I don't care if its 3 hours 20 minutes, I WANNA SEE IT :(

Also, I am on the quest to find the best bubblegum gelato/icecream (so far the place in the City Westfields is winning) and the best Salmon sandwich (Coffee Club in livo is winning.. although I haven't had that many sandwiches). That is all.

OH P.S THANK YOU SO MUCH LUKE FOR YESTERDAY! YOU ARE SUCH A LIFESAVERRRR :D AND IT SEEMS TO BE FOR ART A LOT, HEY? HAHA THANKS AGAIN UKEL :)

Failed attempts and Creative conversations

2011-10-12T19:48:00.002+11:00

Today was the first Wednesday of year 12 since being excused from sport. Art was just before lunch and I had Thai's guitar and we were jamming while doing ou rwork. It was nice :) Seriously, our task is to work on our VAPD which is pretty much mapping the thought process of the formation of the body of work. Which basically means discuss, brainstorm and look for inspiration and I love doing that with our class cause we're all so.. I dno, we get each other (Lol so cheesy...). But seriously, there's no clashing or competition and keeping our ideas to ourselves and everyone's just really supportive and helpful :) I love it ! Honestly, and I am not even trying to be cheesy or mushy or whatever here but the thought of doing this major work that has to wow the markers freaks me out but then I think being surrounded with such creative people who are willing to help me do something that will be amazing is one of the few things that are keeping me calm at this point. Ngaw I love you guys :')

When the lunch bell went, most of the grade were just hanging around the donut quad a little lost, wondering what to do. Aw I love us :P Meanwhile, Lisa and I were gatecrashing the music rooms and making a nuisance of ourselves. Sounds just like us right? :P

Espoir was meant to practise from lunch to the end of school but we decided to do it when sport started cause Lisa wanted a bit of chill time first. Which she used to go to the station, decide to go home, only to come back like two minutes later. Oh you indecisive child, you amuse me. When we started practising, Clement tried to teach us that weird standy thing he does but I have no upper body strength so I failed.. miserably :P We got kicked out of the dance studio and moved to the chess quad.. Why do I call it the chess quad? It's not even a quad. Whatever, it's stuck now. Anyway, we decided on a concept, a song and what we were doing and spent the rest of the time in our little world choreographing our parts. Twas semi productive ^^"

I'm doing homework... kind of. Well I finished maths and we're doing Coordinate geometry which we did in year ten so it didn't take TOO long. It was just tedious I guess. But yes, on to bio! Even though I forgot my bio book in my locker... Man I'm glad I have a folder with loose leaf paper. So convenient :D Well I'm going to be productive now and leave you kids with the image of my handwriting...

Welcome to the beginning of the rest of your life

2011-10-10T20:25:00.000+11:00

Walking into school this morning was a tad daunting. I didn't know what to expect or how things would change for us but really, the only real recognition of our progression into year 12 was Mr Whats his face (..the cool ag teacher that isn't McCord) walking past a group of us saying "Gee, I thought the year 12s couldn't get any [insert insult here that I didn't quite catch. I think it was uglier?]" or something like that. We all just stood awkwardly not knowing how to react :P Nice going Mr whats his face...

Getting results back and not caring about them is a good feeling :) I did terribly in English and Chem but I wasn't expecting to do well because by the time yearlies came around, I was over it and didn't even study :P So meh. I'm happy with art though :D 42/50 (H) OKAY SO TO YOU GUYS THAT MIGHT BE AVERAGE BUT IM HAPPY WITH IT OKAY? Speaking of art, we were talkingabotu the body of works and stuff and Mrs Coombes goes "In one of my year 12 classes, half of them were on anti depressants and the other half were on anti anxiety pills... but there's nothing to stress about". REAL COMFORTING. Seriously hyperventilated or something man :P Oh and we found out that only abotu five year tens decided to continue art for their senior years and rather than dropping the class altogether, Mrs Ross and Mrs Coombes decided to merge the senior classes for theory. Noooooooooooooo I have my reasons for being reluctant. One of which is I love our class and we have our own methods and I'm a conservative who doesn't like change >=(Yeah... that's going to get me far in life 8)

Moving on... lol I timed the handwriting challenge post so that it would be finished by the time school started but I didn't blog enough Oops.... (Sorry for the poor quality, I took the photo with my webcam cause I'm too lazy to get up and I have really unsteady hands :P)
