Day 06

Day 6: Who is your best friend?
Nyeehhhh I don't really like talking about/listing my close friends in questions like these. It makes me sound as though I'm really exclusive or something like that.
Today I suffered for a cause. Our school hockey team versed another 'nerdy' school and we thought we would do ok, maybe even having a chance at winning....yeah...we were wrong. Very wrong.The score? 14-0.
I was defending and a huge, built girl wacked the ball as hard as she could at the goal, and my leg got in the way of making the score 15-0. It's beginning to go a bright shade of purple...it looks kind of pretty.

This weekend my schedule consists of:

I'm in love with this song. Shoooo cuuttee.

Day 5: The most amazing thing that has ever happened to you
I honestly can't choose one moment. Recently, it would most likely be genuinely thinking that I failed my legal exam and getting it back today TO FIND THAT I GOT 94%! Wo0o0o0o0oooooo0o0o0o!

How far do you have to go to get some peace and quiet these days? All the distractions at home can be..well...distracting (Sorry, couldn't find another way to put it), so this afternoon, rather than going straight home, I went to a park that I always walk past but have never actually been to. It was just so peaceful, and there's been so much going on in my head lately that it was so nice to be able to lie there in the peace and quiet, doing absolutely nothing before beginning my homework. It was just me in the park (except for a year 10-looking couple making out in the corner of the park), until I heard footsteps. Numerous footsteps. A mum sits down FIVE METRES from me with her two young screaming children. This was when I was about to start my homework. Just as I was finally relaxed, these kids managed to immediately pull me from my seemingly peaceful state and force me back down to reality. I am still at the park, attempting to do my work and these kids are STILL GOING. Kids for me=Nooooo thank-you! I am literally filing through my brain trying to remember the relaxation techniques I've learnt from yoga to prevent me from walking over to those kids and saying/doing something I'll regret!

FINE

Day 4: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
London. Why? BECAUSE:
1. I could go to Glastonbury Festival every year
2. I will be living in the same country as Muse and One Night Only
3. Topshop. Enough said.
4.SO gorgeous at night
5.Gorgeous accents (I'm totally overusing the word gorgeous today..gawjuss)
6. Just one train trip away from Paris
7. Snow at Christmas
8. No 24 hour plane trips if I want to travel around Europe
9.My favourite weather almost 24/7 (cold, windy, rainy) 
10. I can visit all the places on the Monopoly board...

My morning was AWESOME today. I had an amazing coffee AND they were giving out FREE bottles of Coke Zero out at Central Station. I love Coke Zero, and I walked up and down past all the people handing them out so I could get lots to put away in the common room fridge. Not for sharing. 
Today my friend Hannah brought in a huge box of Cosmo magazines for the common room. Helloooo to my new form of procrastination...I went through about 7 today alone. So. Addictive.
I am now working on some notes on Trotsky. He seriously had such an amazing life. Woah. Very action-packed to say the least.
Now stop reading about me doing work and DO SOME WORK! That's if you're in school. If you're not, sit back and read about Trotsky's life just because it's interesting...unless, you know, you have something better to do......
P.S. I WANT THESE SHOES HFOSDNGIKLSGSJKHNGLSFIUGHDFUILGF.
P.P.S. I LOVE my Tumblr.... not as much as my blog (I'll always be faithful :0), but it's still great fun to post whatever photos I want! I definitely recommend it!
P.P.P.S. I think I'm in love.

Hmmmmm

Day 3: If you could only have one wish, what would it be?
I would say world peace, but:
a)I would sound like I'm off Miss USA
b)It is impossible. For there to be world peace, no-one would be able to have diverse opinions and beliefs and I think that freedom of speech is significantly important.
It's actually a really hard question. I would usually say '1000 more wishes', but I think I'll settle with 'happiness', not just for me but for all the people in my life who I care about.

Does anyone else find him extremely attractive? Despite him being old enough to be my dad, he's sexy AND funny AND is an amazing actor (watch No Country For Old Men) AND AND AND has a Spanish accent=fjsdjfiosdjfgiojsfpsgijfhio. By the way, I'm still learning Spanish. Now I'm moving on from learning the insults....I want to learn more because everything sounds sexier in Spanish. It's a fact. Exotic-ness FTW.

ROWERS ARE OARSOME

Yeah, I like lame puns. What of it.

Day Two: Explain your current relationship status
I'm currently single...I've learnt from my 'Formspring experience' that talking about relationships on the internet isn't very wise/smart.

Today I was an amazing friend and woke up at 5.15, YES 5.15, to get to school and catch a bus to the school girl Head of the River. I have now come home with not one section of my legs not covered in brown and yellow paint. I had paintings of boats on them, squiggles, and phrases such as "Public Schools FTW" and "Povo Pride" (a highlight of the day was when a private school mum came up and asked me what "Povo" meant. I said it means 'cheap' 'underfunded' and 'not private school like') . I now consider myself a rowing convert and today I was filled with so much (public) school pride that it was a tad pathetic.

I also wish to take this opportunity to rant about a song which I heard on the radio. Please listen to it if you haven't had the pleasure of hearing it already- it's called Love the Way You Are (Drunk at the Bar) by Brian McFadden.
Here are some highlights of the song:
 I like you just the way you are
Drunk as shit dancing at the bar.
I like it,
and I can't wait to get you home,
...so I can do some damage.
I like you just the way you are.
Jump in the back seat of my car,
cos I like it
and I can't wait to get you home
so I can take advantage.


SO I CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE. Can you believe that a song with lyrics like that can be released? It's a man in his 30's, engaged, AND A FATHER TO 2 young girls singing a song about date rape. I honestly can't believe it. It's bad enough that a song was released making date rape sound as though it's acceptable, but to have Brian McFadden sing it, given the fact that he has a FIANCE with TWO YOUNG CHILDREN is absolutely revolting. I've done a bit of research on him, and on his Wiki it says this: On 25 February 2011, McFadden released a new single "Just the Way You Are (Drunk at the Bar)". The song has been criticised as a glorification of date rape. McFadden cancelled the shooting of a proposed pop video for the song, and asked that the song not be played on the rado, also pledging via his Twitter account to donate all proceeds from the song to rape victims. Well let's just say that he's going to be spending A LOT of money on rape victims (if he actually meant that pledge, which is highly unlikely), because the song IS still playing on the radio, and given the number of young people who listen to the radio....don't think it's going to help decrease the number of date rape victims...and as if he didn't see that criticism coming? He's just that desperate for attention...
During my research I also discovered that he said this on the radio: "Saying pink is a form of red is the same as saying homosexual is a form of male". Delta Goodrem seems to be a nice young woman, so why is she wasting her time with this sad excuse of a one-hit-wonder-now-a-sad-bastard male? Just wondering. I'm also wondering what his thoughts would be if a man took one of his daughters home, when they are 'drunk as shit', to 'take advantage of them'....

I'M FREEEEE

Here are a few updates on my life:
1. Big news: I DELETED MY FORMSPRING.Woooooooo! I didn't do it because I had cyber-warriors or anything; it was due to the fact that some things regarding not just me were taken a little out of proportion. Glad it's gone. I figured that if people wanted to ask me questions about my 'love' life, they can ask me in real life if they're really that intrigued...
2.Despite me feeling like I was going to vomit after my Ext. English exam due to how hard it was, and feeling stressed about how much I was going to fail by, I got it back today....AND I GOT 22/25! WOOOOOOOO. There had never been an exam which has caused me more stress...
3.Tumblr is SO addictive....the 'Reblog' Button is just so easy to press...that I can't stop pressing it. You should all get Tumblrs because it's great to have an outlet for your creativity.
4.Tomorrow I'm off to cheer on the girls at Head of the River. Yeah....have to be at school to catch the bus at 6.30am...not cool.I'm bringing my portable DVD player for my friends and I to watch Sex and the City in between races..I'm cool like that.
5.I feel the need to publish a 5th point but my life is relatively quiet right now...so yes.

I found a new blog challenge (it's only 15 days..nice and easy)! I love doing them and I've actually been able to stick to two so here we goooo!
DAY ONE: Introduce yourself
I don't really need to go into much detail on this question because basically, as Kate pointed out to me today, if you read my blog you know A LOT about me. In case you haven't been reading this blog for a while:
My name is Chloe, and I am a lazy 17 year old girl living in Sydney, Australia. I have two pet dogs and like fairy lights, Nutella, Muse, Phoenix, looking at the stars (like actually....it's kind of weird), good quality movies, modern history, literature, looking at wedding rings and wedding dresses despite me not planning on getting married, long sentences and coffee (please don't get me started on the wonders of this addictive substance), amongst many other things. I used to go for the Sydney Swans but this year I officially put an end to my support with Paul Roos retiring. I am relatively sensitive and tend to over-think things, I have amazing friends, I value education, and one day I'm going to be front row at Glastonbury Festival when Muse plays on the Pyramid Stage (hopefully before I turn 25...). People sometimes think that I'm a relatively simple girl, but once you get to know me I'm fairly complicated, however usually I'm the one who over complicates things. I also plan to own a finger monkey as a pet one day. THE END.

Hurrroooooo there!

Why hello there. It's been a while since I last posted, BUT BUT I can justify this!
1. Despite exams finishing last Friday, I have so much work to do that I've been working from when I get home until 10pm flat out.
2.Yesterday I was literally only home for around 3 minutes (exluding sleep...durrr) due to the fact that I was late getting home and forgot that I was going out with the parentals...
3. I'm not really up for writing much today....I'll do a mega-post tomorrow!

The awkward moment...

When you feel like crap,so you sit outside in the cold with your dog, wearing track-suit pants tucked into frilly grey socks, drinking Coke Zero out of the bottle, and your Dad buys you a Chicken Tikka roll for lunch because he saw on your blog that you love them.

It's really cold and rainy right now...

BEST WEATHER IN THE HISTORY OF LIIIFFFEEEEEEEE
This is why I want to live in London one day-This weather (but even colder and rainer) 24/7!
I am sitting inside on my bed eating brownies whilst Tumblring and reading The French Lieutenant's Woman. Yes, that is how I am spending my first Saturday of freedom. We had a cooked breakfast and Dad bought me Edmunds and Greer coffee.....perfect way to start the day.
This picture is so relevant to my life right now:

Even though this quote is from Gossip Girl, I love it. It's so true. "Destiny is for losers. It's just a stupid excuse to wait for things to happen instead of making them happen"- Blair Waldorf. I've decided that I'm going to ride my bike to the newsagents, buy a huge roll of butcher's paper, cover one of the walls of my room in it, stick a permanent marker to it, and whenever I hear quotes like these I'm going to write them on it, as well as other thoughts and photographs. Also, in regards to Gossip Girl, when I first heard that Blake Lively was the new face of their new bag, MAJOR respect was lost for Chanel in my head! WHY HER. Just because she's famous and in a crappy but popular TV show! However after seeing the photos, I've completely changed my opinion. She definitely has the style and sophistication to be an ambassador for the brand! Also also also, since we're (well I'm) talking about Gossip Girl, I want to take this opportunity to express my hatred for Taylor Momsen. FGNJKSDNFJKSDNFJKSDNFJOSDJGIOSJG. She is trying SO hard to achieve the 'I don't care about life/what people think about me' that it's just kind of backfiring. I wonder how long she's going to keep it up, seeing as though her music isn't any better then her acting...
THEN
NOW


Aaaannd now for some photos Phoebe took:
1. Chicken Tikka Roll. One of the best things I have EVER eaten. And it was only $5.50
 2. Chilling by Jedda's apartment's pool. Don't really know what's going on with my legs in this photo.
3. Cindy and my bags. Mine is Topshop and hers is Anna Sui. We're so cool. P.S. My red nail polish is Chanel and is courtesy of THE AMAZING CAROL. It's actually far better quality than all my other nail-polishes-it only chipped after 3 days! You're better paying more for higher quality nail-polish. 

 The best coffee in the history of life- The Workshop (it's opposite the QVB). You can also kind of see my purple tips in this photo! Woot.


Letter to the future Chloe

To my dearest (mature) Chloe,
I really hope that you are genuinely happy right now.Whether you're 26, 33 or 67, I hope that you are proud of who you are and that you are everything you hoped to be (cheesy but you can't stop me from writing cheesy things because this was written a long time ago). This is your 17 year old self and I understand that life can be hard, but just keep ''swimming" (an intertextual reference from Finding Nemo. Hope you got that. If you didn't, re-watch that movie tonight). CHLOE. We're the same person so I know that you might have been distracted and have drifted away from this letter...but please come back so I can tell you some cheesy things. Make a difference. Make a change. Leave your mark in the world while you can. Every minute counts so don't dwell on regrets and mistakes- move forward and don't waste a second because life is too short to be discontent. BE HAPPY. Wear the Muse tour t-shirt from the concert you went to with Phoebe when you were 16, all those years ago. Dance crazily to Phoenix's music that you were once obsessed with and go out to the coffee shop at Central and see if the coffee couple are still there. Are you still close with your 17 year old self's best friends? If you haven't talked to them in years contact them. Go back home and spend time with Mum and Dad-make up for those moments when you chose your friends over them.
My outlook on life is so positive right now and I hope it remains that way until I die...I hope reading these words makes you reconsider where you stand right now.
Love, Chloe :D
P.S. (Because I love my P.S's) If you haven't been to Glastonbury Festival yet, after finishing reading this letter, go onto the website and book a ticket. NOW.

I heart amazing friends.

Today was so so so so so so so above average. I have definitely placed it in my mental 'awesome days' file.
Despite school being called off for year 12 today, some of the legal study girls went on an optional excursion to a conference on Justice and the Law. The only way to describe it was aaammaazziinnngg. We had the opportunity for hear Nicholas Cowdery QC speak when it was his last day as the Director of Public Prosecutions! He is such an amazing speaker and hearing him, Greg James QC and an other female lawyer (can't remember her name....oops!) speak about their roles in the legal system pretty much confirmed for me that that's the career path I want to take. In the morning tea break my friends and I were chatting with Greg James QC, and he was telling us he has even defended a monster. He has two sons who went to Trinity and are now both solicitors.....and he told us that Head of the River is just a competition between Riverview and Joeys over who can sing hymns the loudest.

After the excursion I met up with some of the girls in my group for an intense karaoke session and it turns out that they had planned a surprise birthday party. Ate so much food that when I got home vomit came into my mouth at the dinner table. Thought you would all appreciate that detail.
Sang.So.Many.Songs. My voice is now husky and I sound like a man. True story.

I'm going to write the advice in the picture below into my '101 Dreams' book from Kikki-K and into my diary. Love it. Positive energy FTW.

KLAINE

If you are following Glee on TV, DO NOT READ THIS. PLEASE CLICK THE CROSS NOW!

So Blaine and Kurt are now a couple. It was highly anticipated and I thought that the kiss wasn't an anti-climax at all...Blaine's dialogue was pretty cute and none of it looked forced (with Darren Criss actually being straight in reality).
When Blaine said to Kurt that they were going to sing Candles by Hey Monday, I nearly shitted a brick. I LOVE THAT SONG SO MUCH (click here to hear it). The atmosphere and the lyrics of the song are PERFECT for Blaine and Kurt and the development of their relationship...however when they actually performed it....it didn't really do the song any justice. Maybe it was just me...but I was pretty disappointed! Blaine's voice suits the song though.

FRRRRRREEEEEEDDDDDOOOOMMMM

So my exams are over.....and I somehow survived them. It was a bit of a wake-up call- I don't want the next exam period to be as stressful so I'm going to make sure I work my ass off.

My viva-voce went really well, and I'm pretty confident I'll get a pretty good mark....if I don't then that's awkward.

Back in my post from two days ago, I said that after my last exam I will:  catch a bus to Coogee beach with Palto Alto (best book ever....yes, it's written by James Franco), buy a juice from the place next to Chish and Fips and then lie in the sun (it better be sunny) and swim until late afternoon. I will then come home and watch Skins until 7am the next morning.


Yeah. This is what really happened after the conclusion of my last exam: I followed Phoebe shopping around the city thinking how I should really stop wasting all of my financial resources on coffee, caught a un-air conditioned train home, arrived home after trekking it from the station, when Phoebe realises that "Shit! I left my key inside this morning!". I sat outside talking to the dogs and playing Guitar Hero 5 on my phone from 1.15pm-3.58pm. That's a long time to be locked outside when you're hungry and thirsty and want to lie in your bed watching Skins. Mum and Dad then went out for dinner with Mum's bestest friend in the universe from Newport, California (who I'm chilling with for a while after the conclusion of school), while I babysat Chris, watching fishing shows and Modern Family whilst eating lots of Crust Pizza (Tandoori Chicken) until they came home, stocked with Reeses Peanut Butter Cups and Victoria's Secret stuff from Aunty Di (Mum's BIFFL4LYFE). My relatively crap day was now immediately awesome.


Today, my first day of freedom, I am heading to the city to buy things (yes, Mum and Dad paid me to babysit my own brother....), chill at the Lindt Cafe eating Macaroons with Cindy then progressing over to the Art Gallery to check out Art Express. Sounds good to me. 


P.s. I'm so going here one day
P.p.s. Keep checking out my Tumblr!

❒Single ❒Taken ✔Chillin’ at the backseat with Rebecca Black

This is actually the funniest thing I have seen in a long time....Rebecca Black shows that if your Daddy has enough money, you can do anything.

I love the lyrics "yesterday was thursday, today is friday, tomorrow is saturday and sunday comes afterwards"

The moment when you feel that the only person who understands you is Charlie Sheen...

These exams are nearly over, and I confirm that:
1)They have driven me to the brink of insanity...jks....but seriously....
2)In exams I now write so fast that I don't even bother finishing words, leaving it to the markers to finish off my words
3)It takes basically nothing to make me laugh. I now often find myself laughing at silence, and laughing at the fans in the common room. Yes, fans.
4)Up&Gos are the way to go...second to coffee however. I turned up at the bus stop after hardly any sleep with a coffee, and the bus-stop-lady-officer (the best way to describe her) said to me 'no coffee allowed on the bus'. I just gave her the 'I am in year 12 and am in exams right now, I need coffee to survive and pass said exams, let me on the bus with my coffee or I'll kill you' look and she let me on. Problem solved.
5)These exams have worn me out. It's going to take A LOT of sleep (and watching Skins) to get me back to normal.

Here are some things which have come out of my/friends' mouths this exam period:
1. In response to Phoebe's hole in her school shoe 'When it gets rainy it'll get puddled"
2. 'If there's only one samosa left I get it' 'Ok...I'll have naan then. Get it. Naan' 
3. 'It's so hot in here'  'Yeah, it's an intellectual sauna'
4. 'Can you believe, that like, this time last week, like, Japan was normal and stuff?'
5. 'These exams have made me feel numb. I can't feel emotions anymore'
6. 'I don't have time to watch Glee anymore so I read the summaries on the internet'

My last exam is my Extension 2 English viva-voce, which goes for 15 minutes starting at 9.40am. Everyone please have a minute silence at this point in time to pay respect to what I will be enduring at this point in time.  I will then catch a bus to Coogee beach with Palto Alto (best book ever....yes, it's written by James Franco), buy a juice from the place next to Chish and Fips and then lie in the sun (it better be sunny) and swim until late afternoon. I will then come home and watch Skins until 7am the next morning. Can't wait.

ONLY 3 EXAMS TO GOOOO


I have two things to tell you today:
1. My heart goes out to everyone in Japan right now. It's so devastating to see that footage on the news..I just wish I could do something to help.
2. I was paying for my coffee and macaroons at Edmunds and Greer yesterday, where I had been dining with Eleni, and I glanced around the room to see where Phoebe had gone. To my absolute horror, it turns out that my Modern History teacher had been sitting at a table opposite us the entire time with a group of her friends. The worst part was that I really needed to go over to her and ask for feed back on my essay....

Just some house-keeping shiz before I rush off to memorise an essay on the Bolshevik's consolidation of power:
1. I've enabled commenting again. I blocked it a while ago for no particular reason, so now if you feel like telling me something, disagreeing with me, agreeing with me or telling me something random like 'Fluro peas like to sing off frozen newspapers',then just leave a comment.
2. Keep checking my Tumblr! The links at the top and when I find pretty pictures I post them there, rather than here, because an influx of pictures here is probably annoying for you guys.
3. TO ALL MY POTENTIAL PEN PALS, I'm so sorry, I keep forgetting to check my Hotmail. When my exams are over I'll actually go through the emails and write letters! Send me another email just in case!

P.S.I WANT THIS DRESS FHESKJDFJSFSD
P.p.s. This image made me stop and think for a bit. I hope it has the same effect on you.

WOW.

So I just dug out my good old journal, and it only occured to me now that I've been writting in it since I was 12. For the first time, instead of just flipping through to a new page and writing a new entry like I usually do, I took the time to actually read the journal from the very first page, to the end of my last entry. It was incredible to actually see how much I've changed since I was 12. I was actually speechless (for once in my life....). I find that writing in a journal makes you feel better about stuff that's going on- sounds stupid and simple but it's true. Just writing thoughts down on paper can make things which seem like a big deal in your head seem insignificant and kind of pathetic and petty in a way. It's also great to look at moments in your past when you felt like there wasn't really a light at the end of the tunnel, then continuing on to read later posts where everything is ok again, highlighting that things always work out and can have a happy ending. I wrote 7 pages this afternoon, writing down every last thing on my mind, and I feel like 18 bricks have been lifted off my chest. It's weird because I write down my thoughts here on my blog, but I can't write everything because I know that people who are in my thoughts read it, so I guess my blog is reserved for my more 'superficial' thoughts!

THINGS I WANT TO TELL/RANT TO YOU ABOUT TODAY:
  • It occured to me last night that if Mum and Dad pay me pocket money on a weekly basis, then technically they're employing me to be their daughter and do chores. They pay me $20 a week, far below the minimum wage, thus promoting slave labour. WE'RE ALL SLAVES TO OUR PARENTS PEOPLE!!...jks....but seriously....
  • I saw my favourite person (SARCASAM) Jessica Watson on the news last night, telling us all how she's attempting to break a new record. All she's really showing to me is that she's worried that her attention is dying down. What's her new record attempt? To be an even bigger famewhore than she was before? Just when we thought we heard the last of her!
  • I was walking down a street today and someone was walking in front of me smoking, me having to walk into the smoke. Now I know this happens all the time but today it just really pissed me off. JUST BECAUSE you are stupid enough to pay $4000 a year on suicide sticks, doesn't mean THAT I WANT TO DIE TOO. I LIKE MY LIFE OK. DON'T TAKE ME DOWN WITH THE SHIP. They really need to separate the streets so that the people who don't want to die of lung cancer DON'T HAVE TO DIE OF LUNG CANCER. Enough said.
  • I love Lucas' Paw Paw Ointment. I'm a tad obsessed, and whenever I find myself not doing anything, I apply it to my lips. Cool story bro
  • GLASS HOUSE CANDLES ARE THE BOMB DIGGITY. Mum brought home the big Coconut-Lime one and it smells absolutely amazing, which is significant due to me usually hating scented candles.
  • I was such a hit at my brother's baseball game today. I started hitting a ball against a wall and by the time the game was over I had about 12 kids playing with me. Yeah I'm cool like dat.

I'm really close tonight
And I feel like I'm moving inside her
Lying in the dark
And I think that I'm beginning to know her
Let it go
I'll be there when you call
And whenever I fall at your feet
Do you let your tears rain down on me
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain

You're hiding from me now
There's something in the way that you're talkin’
Words don't sound right
But I hear them all moving inside you
Go now
I'll be there when you call
And whenever I fall at your feet
Do you let your tears rain down on me
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain

The finger of blame has turned upon itself
And I'm more than willing to offer myself
Do you want my presence or need my help?
Who knows where that might lead
I fall

The finger of blame has turned upon itself
And I'm more than willing to offer myself
Do you want my presence or need my help?
Who knows where that might lead
I fall at your feet


The awkward moment....

When I officially rename my new phone 'Eva', due to the fact that she looks like Eva from Wall-E, me realising this after I named her Belle. Yes, I am quite aware that that was a long sentence. And the fact that 'alot' is not a word (in regards to all your comments after I made the fatal error a couple of blog posts ago!).

My drama exam was today, and now I have a FOUR DAY WEEKEND until Modern History. I'm making myself go to school to study despite having no exams/class due to the fact that home=100000 distractions inside a building. At home, no matter how hard I try to stay focused, I ALWAYS, and I mean ALWAYS end up in my bed, tea next to me, listening to Phoenix and Muse whilst pointlessly trawling the internet. The only problem with studying at school is that I always find myself drinking chocolate Up&Gos which I buy from the canteen for only TWO DOLLARS. Good price. Not good when you buy 3 a day, throughout the whole exam period.

I really, really want to do this to my nails when exams are over.

When life gets tough, think of Schoolies.

I just sneezed. Twice.

AUTUMN IS HERE PEOPLE. 

So I have a number of things I realised today:
  • Flowers are so pretty. I walk past a florist at Central every morning and today it smelt so good that I just stopped and stood outside it like a bit of a lunatic (this is what exams do to you). The flowers all looked so pretty and fresh that I was 99% certain I was going to buy a bunch for one of my friends for no reason other than the fact that I felt like buying a bunch of flowers for someone. I got out my wallet, counted my coins to find that I had $2.70. That's exactly how much a coffee is. Bought coffee instead.
  • I'm actually weirdly obsessed with my new phone. I touch it all the time because it's so pretty. My friend Arielle described it as looking like a 'giant tamagotchi'. So. True. I've called here Belle.
  • Legal Studies exams are not fun. Especially when there's two multiple choice questions with every single choice wrong. Awkies.
  • After a conversation with my friend Louise, I decided that one of my life goals is to get the Transatlantic accent. In order to do so, I need a house in New York and a house in London so I can travel between the two. Better start saving now....
  • I really don't want to get the mark back for the essay I wrote yesterday in English. There was an audio recording that we had to listen to in the exam then use it as a second related text, along with our core text. They played the audio twice, during which we had to write as much down about it as possible to use in our essay. The first time we listened to it, I completely missed her name because she said it so fast. The second time round, I braced myself for when she said her name, pen in hand, then completely missed it again. I heard an 'S' in it so I called her Sternberg throughout my essay. After talking to my teacher afterwards, it turns out her name was Esther. Oops.
  • Carol is amazing for finding the elephant jumper on the internet for me! Wooooo!
  • I'm actually considering getting purple tips instead of blue. Thoughts?
I also really want to wear lot's of bright colours this Autumn/Winter. Methinks I need these boots?

Day 31: Your highs and lows of the past monthI can't really list my 'highs and lows' and you guys already know all of them from my posts from the last month! I would say my real 'high' was my birthday, and my 'low' was my little melt-down which was due to a combination of factors. Basically the whole of last week was a bit of an FML week. The past 4 weeks have been relatively stressful (leading up to exams and such), so there weren't particularly any 'extreme highs'. The month following my exams is going to be sweeeeeet!.
Now stop reading this, click the cross on the top right-hand corner of your screen, and LET ME CONTINUE TO MEMORISE MY ESSAY. Oh, and ask me a Formspring question. Speaking of Formspring, I got one the other day which simply said 'Your blog is shit'.  I was a bit over tired and began to think that maybe I should just stop this blog. Then I realised that one day I'll have something to rant about and want to express my opinion to someone and I'll think to myself that I could have done that on my blog. Because you all are good listeners. So it looks like I'm staying. Yes, you have to continue putting up with me.

Sha bo da ba


I bought a pen off a 'charity' man today. He came up to me at the bus stop and simply said 'I work for a charity, would you like to buy a pen?'. I bought a pen out of sympathy, and as he walked away it dawned on me that he most likely didn't work for a charity and instead was a man who liked to sell 'charity' pens to vulnerable school girls to fund his cigarettes.

I went on the website on the pen this afternoon, waiting for a page to come up saying 'this page does not exist'. However, a website came up and it looks as though the proceeds from my pen went to a good cause! If some a man comes up to you at Central saying 'Hello I work for a charity would you like to buy a pen' buy it! It's a charity called Lend A Shoulder. MORAL OF THE STORY: Buy pens of strangers!


P.S. I WANT THIS JUMPER
P.P.S. I think we can all agree that this is the best line in Tropic Thunder. Aaahhh so good.

*31 day challenge

So I'm up to question 30 and there's still one question to go...must have mixed up the question numbers somewhere! Oopsidaise. I have officially renamed this the 31 Day Challenge

Day 30: Your goals for the next 30 days
  • Be satisfied by the results that I get from these up-coming exams. I really want my marks to be consistent throughout the year and I know that if I get bad-ish marks this exam period it won't be all that inspirational/motivating. Good marks will let me know that I'm doing the right thing
  • Sort out my love life. Yes, I sound like a drama queen.
So basically, in the 4 days since I've written, I have:
  • Had two melt-downs. I hadn't cried in over a year but all the pressure/expectations eventually got to me and I kind of broke-down for a little while. Turns out people weren't shit talking when they said the HSC year is alot of work. Awesome friends who put up with my whining help me through those major FML moments.
  • Have gone to the library every afternoon until 6.30. PRODUCTIVENESS
  • Finished my History and Memory essay...don't think it took me long enough....
  • Half-memorised my belonging creative
  • Went to every Optus store in the CBD and at every single one the phone I want to buy was sold out. Woot.
  • Set to work on an abusive letter to City Rail/State Transit/Minister for Transport asking ask to why we can't use our train-passes at the stations in between the two stations listed on our passes. So because of this stupid system, I have to pay for a ticket every afternoon that I want to go to the library. I would much rather be spending that money on coffee.
I don't know about you but, looking back on recent posts, the closer to exams I've gotten the more depressing the content has become. This made me realise that I use this blog as a sort of intervention, and from that thought came the realisation that if you read every blog post back to when I first started it, you would know ALOT, and when I say ALOT I mean ALOT about me. If you don't like reading about my feelings then feel free to stop following this blog whenever you like, and if you want to stay on board HEEELLOOOO! For you strangers who read this blog and feel as if you kind of know me from reading all about my pathetic feelings and thoughts about life....I'M COOLER IN REAL LIFE. PROMISE. *crickets*

Goodnight my minions X

Everything is Everything

Day 29: Something that you miss
The Summer holidays....I didn't really know what year 12 was going to throw at me, and all that mattered was what time I was going to walk to Edmunds and Greer the next day, or what movie to see....

This is me avoiding finishing doing my essay on post modernism. You shouldn't be reading this due to the fact that lots of page views=me writing more=not doing work. 
The highlight of yesterday was my night out on the town. I went to a Spanish restaurant with a couple of friends and the amazing food, music and dancing made me want to live in Spain!
Also also also, the artist outside the QVB who sells all those drawings in black pens proposed to me. What of it.

I heard a story that officially made my week. My friend was at a library and a guy wrote down the name to a blog and told him to look it up. My friend Googled it when he got home and it turns out it was THIS BLOG! A MASSIVE SHOUTOUT TO THAT AWESOME GUY. Let's get married and have cute little babies...jks...but seriously. Formspring me your name at least!

My exams begin next week so please don't expect that much from me! I'll post what I promised to post yesterday later but apart from that please encourage my studies! I HATE YEAR 12. ZOMGHOMG.

Friday, February 25, 2011

Yeah, I post a lot of Phoenix. What of it. JUST SHUTUP AND LISTEN.

This is one of those songs which just has such a great chorus. This is one of those songs is a happy-feeling-generator. LAST PHOENIX SONG- I PINKY PROMISE!

Yar.

Day 28: A problem that you have had.
My essay on Post-modernism.....guess what I'm spending Saturday doing?

Today we had this psychologist come and talk to our grade about stress-relief. Most girls found it pointless but I found it so useful! She basically emphasized that it's not the situation itself that makes you stressed but how you deal with it/what you think to yourself about it. Positive thoughts FTW!

This weekend shouldn't be too bad. I was supposed to babysit tonight but they called up to cancel soooo tonight will be a nice night with my tea, fairy lights and double bed. Oh and answering Formspring questions...shoooo much fun. The only abuse I've gotten was basically saying that I'm a 'judgmental bitch'....I laughed out-loud (LOLEEEEEDD) for two reasons:
1. Soooo ironic
2. I know who the person is...this just shows that I'm rarely judgmental in the first place to know who it was! Harrr haarrr haaarrrr...

On Sunday I'm going to the Museum of Contemporary Art to watch my friend James play at a night for youth. Tres excited, however have no idea as to what to wear....the theme is neon. Better start going through my wardrobe now.

Tomorrow I'm posting two things:
1. You know how I did the 'ideal boyfriend age guide' a couple of months ago? I've got a new one but from the guys perspective and their ideal ages for girlfriends...it's so different!
2. Cindy, Kuan and I separated guys into 4 catagories and we wrote the respective characteristics for each catagory...it was a pretty hilarious process.

P.s. I lurvvee this quote. Fanks Picasso.

P.p.s. This song is great. Not just because it's Phoenix. It makes me happy. I guess every Phoenix song makes me happy.

Thursday, February 24, 2011

SOOOOO LLIKKEEEE IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY YESTERDAY.
Twas the best ever. I woke up to a huge cooked breakfast with the largest bunch of flowers I've ever seen, opened all my presents from Mum and Dad (loads of stuff to pimp out my room with...you should SEE my bed now), little brother gave me a mega nerf-gun, went to the swimming carnival where I got spoilt by friends (I even had a song written for me...love you Clare), sung songs all day, was driven by Kuan to Coogee with Cindy and Phebus, drank yummy juices in a boat talking about how we resemble characters in Ice Age, went home and liked AND REPLIED to every Facebook birthday message, had a shower where there was no conditioner, got in the car, went to a water-front place for dinner, my uncle from Geneva came, got spoilt again by extended family, went home, replied to more FB messages, went to sleep in my pimped-out bed. I'm getting a new phone tomorrow with some of the money I got....I'll keep you posted!

Alsooooo my Aunty gave me a special card for me to have my hair and make-up done by Paul Bedggood for my formal!!!!! Google him!

Tuesday, February 22, 2011

I am sixteen, going on seventeen....

I'm sorry. I just HAD to make the Sound of Music reference....seeing as though....
MY BIRTHDAY IS TOMORRRROOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW  WWOOOOOOOOTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Day 25: Someone who fascinates you and why
Eva Braun, who was Adolf Hitler's mistress/secret girlfriend. She truly fascinates me as I don't understand how she could be with someone who was capable of committing such inhumane acts. How she loved him so much that she could just ignore the atrocities which were taking place throughout her country at his hands. No matter how had I try I can't understand her actions and how she, let alone anyone, could be in a relationship with a man like Hitler.

On a lighter note,
It's the swimming carnival tomorrow so basically I'm dressing up in a fluro green leotard and eating Clare's chocolate mousse cake and Jem's Reeses Peanut Butter Cup cake.....omgyumzomg

There were a number of revelations in my life today:
1. I really, really hate moths. I saw one with a really big abdomen so I called it Kim Kardashian
2. Cars are hilarious. Maybe it's because I was overtired, but when I was on the bus this morning I honestly couldn't stop laughing. It's people in boxes with wheels....hehehehehe...
3. My birthday is tomorrow. Yiiippeeeee. My little brother asked me what I wanted and I said a nerf gun..woot
4. My essay for post-modernism really is quantity not quality....time to start again...
5. 'Dramastically' is not a word. Turns out it was just a word in my head, where I had combined the words dramatic and drastic
6. Cindy is so honest! A $20 note dropped out of the pocket of the guy walking in front of us, and she picked it up and ran after him and returned it. GOOO CINDDYY.

Yaaarrrr so I got a Formspring

I don't think this link works for all computers...but but but...JUST ASK ME QUESTIONS. I'm that bored. Yiew.

SHOULD I GET A FORMSPRING

I got the BEST joke yesterday:
Knock knock
Who's there?
Cash
Cash who?
I didn't know you were a nut?

That text was from Phoebe but I can't be bothered dedicating a post to her due to the fact that she is always mentioned on here.

Day 24: Your favourite movie and why it's you favourite movie
There have been so many movies that I've watched then have made a mental note that if anyone asks me what my favourite movie is then I'll say that movie. Problem is I can never remember which ones they are. Although this is the case, I can think of a few which I really do love.
1. Tropic Thunder: I've watched it so many times and everytime I put it on I think to myself that I'm going to get bored of it.....but everytime I kill myself laughing. Don't even get me started on quoting the movie...
2. Fateless: It's a Holocaust movie about a young boy who is sent to Auschwitz. It's incredible and the end always gives me goosebumps
3. Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist: I don't know why but I have SO much love for this movie. It's just so chill. There's nothing better than watching it late at night when you find everything hilarious.
4. Titanic: I don't think this needs to be justified....

Yesterday I had the funniest/disturbing conversation with my father. It went like this:
Dad is reading the paper on the lounge
Me: I would really really really love it if you finished building my star laaammmppp!
Dad: I know you would
Me: ?
Dad: I read it on your blog
Me: You? Read my blog?
Dad: Yes... I've been reading Flower Girl for a while now. *Continues to read paper*
Me: ........

This weekend has been surprisingly productive. I finished both my essays,worked on my legal notes, and studied the parts of the Russian Revolution which I didn't really understand. Monday always seems better when you've had a productive weekend. This week is so awesome. My birthday is on Wednesday. YYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY

P.S. I'm going to work on my Tumblr a bit more. I accidently ditched it for a couple of weeks
P.P.S. I miss this

SOCIAL EXPERIMENT

So basically as I was lying in bed thinking about how bored I am.....I came up with an awesome idea.
Here it is:

If you have my number in your phone, send me a text with A JOKE! Best idea ever Chloe. *Cyber Hi-5 to self*. If you don't have my number, email me a joke instead. If I find any of the jokes particularly hilarious, and it manages to make me not bored, I will devote an entire blog-post to you.

SEND AWAY FOLKS.
While I wait....I'll just continue lying on my bed revelling in my boredom....

Day 23

Day 23: Photos of 5 famous people who you find attractive


1.Francisco Lachowski- I think he deserves a video. Even though he looks really, really dumb......he is quite easy on the eye. Just a bit.



2. James Franco- He's gorgeous, funny and smart. Really smart.


3. Jesse Eisenberg- Fell in love with him in The Social Network and Adventureland. He's not as hot as all the other guys I've posted but his gorgeous personality makes him even more attractive in a way..


4. Josh Hartnett- Need I say more? He's just shoooo cute. Watch Pearl Harbour and you'll understand......


4. Nicholas Hoult- Just watch Skins. Although he's verging on being a douche, he is filed in my 'Gorgeous Category'. Not many guys make it into that category....


5. Jack Vanderhart- I'm not personally attracted to him....but I just felt like posting him on here because I used to go to school with him....major lolz.



Today has been so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so boring. I slept through yoga, sat in bed until 8.30, ate 5 coconut-ice cupcakes for breakfast, wrote an essay which I don't particularly like, went shopping for a quilt set for my bed, drank Coke Zero, ate chocolate, thought about how much work I have to do tomorrow, drew on my hand, drew on my stomach, sung along to songs on my iTunes, continued working on said essay, went to my grandparents' house, wrote a letter and got credit for my phone....finally.....


I'm thinking I might get a Formspring just for this blog so ya'll can all ask me questions. Email me your thoughts on this proposal.


ROFL

Watch the whole video. You won't regret it. Guaranteed ROFL.
Day 22: How have you changed in the past two years?
Two years ago I was 15.....that sounds really young even though it wasn't all that long ago.
I was such an idiot when I was 15. That was my age when I went down a steep hill in a pram, smashed into a telegraph pole, and broke my collarbone. I would like to say that I'm more mature now (in general) and I guess I am. I have my fun in different (less psycho....ok maybe not) ways now and I think that that comes with age.
I've changed a lot over the past two years.  I've definitely changed physically (I've grown outwards and upwards...I was relatively short and skin and bones back then), and also mentally- I'm far more mature emotionally and way, waaaaayyyy more confident than I was back then. I guess I act different now around different people- around some people, I act less mature then I was at 15, others I act my age.
When I was 15 I would have NEVER even dreamed about writing about my feelings on a public page such as this blog...I tended to keep my feelings to myself and while I had my best friends, all of whom were female, I never really let anyone know everything about me. Now I'm 17 (well..... 17 on Wednesday) I've changed in that I have a let a few people, male and female, know me almost as well as I know myself.

Sorry for that long response. Went into essay mode.....
Today went really, really slowly. Maybe it's because I wasn't really looking forward to this weekend. I'm basically working FLAT OUT. I have three essays to complete by Tuesday next week!!!!! Wah. I have yoga tomorrow at 7.15 tomorrow morning so hopefully that will give me a balance this weekend, and I have lots to look forward to as next week and next weekend are completely and utterly awesome. So hopefully I will make it through my humongous 'Chloe's ToDo List: The Weekend FML Edition'.


I discovered three things today:
1. That the dogs which are trained for dog racing are Greyhounds, not Dachshunds. Turns out I got the species of dog mixed up and thought that Dachshunds were the racedogs, thinking that they were the racing type of dog- you know, the grey, skinny, ugly ones. Well it turns our that Dachshunds are sausage dogs.  All this time I had been telling people that Dachshund racing is cruel.....aka that sausage dog racing is cruel. Now I'm just imagining sausage dog races....hehe.

2. It's hilarious when I go to tell someone something at school and they already know what I'm going to tell them because they've already read it on my blog. It's pretty funny....a tad awkward though.

3. This song is amazinkk.

Thursday, February 17, 2011

I have discovered that I have a bit of a non-sexual fetish for fairy lights and the night sky. It sounds lame but I reckon I could lie in one spot and watch one patch of the night sky for hours without getting bored.
My star lamp still sadly sits on my desk unfinished....

Crying tears of hot chocolate...

That sentence was completely irrelevant to everything. I just felt like making the title of this post something random..

Day 21: Your favourite TV show.
I CANNOT chose between Skins and Modern Family, which I find hilarious as they have absolutely NOTHING in common. Except that they're not animated. But seriously.

Sooooooo the past two days have been relatively awesome. Why? Because:
1. I dyed my hair chocolate-brown. It's not permanent but by the time it rinses out I'll have enough money for BLUE TIPS. Good plan Chloe, good plan. 

2. A group of juniors cleared the back seat of the bus for me after I have them the best glare of my life. I was also walking out of the bathroom at school, where a group of year 7s were blocking the exit, and I said 'Excuse me, ladies'. They scurried out of my way and every single one of them apologised. I have now understood how to properly manipulate human beings under the age of 14.

3. The parentals are on a 'twilight tour' of a school for Chris (my little brother), and I thought that Mum hadn't left me any dinner, then I opened the fridge to find that she HAD BOUGHT ME INDIAN. WOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

4. I've mastered falling asleep in the common room....not sure if this is a good thing....

5. I forced myself to book a spot in the new 6 am yoga class on Friday mornings. Better have an early night tonight....

6. I realised that next week is awesome, due to the fact that: I have an excursion on Monday, mufti day on Tuesday, last swimming carnival ever/MY BIRRRRRTTTHDDAAYAYAYAYAAYAY on Wednesday, an excursion on Friday, and I'm seeing one of my friends perform at the Museum of Contemporary Art on Sunday night. LIFE IS GOOOOOOO0O0O0O0O0OD.

P.S. THANKYOU TO CAROL WHO FOUND THE MERMAID RING ON THE INTERNET! Woo!

P.P.S. I am actually going to go and do some work now

P.P.P.S. I CANNOT STOP SINGING THIS STUPID SONG. IT'S HYPNOTISING. I swear it's zombie propaganda published to brainwash us. It's working.
There's a zombie on youurrr laaawwwwnnn

Obama self.

Such an epic pun. Thanks Jem.

Day 20: Your views on education.
I think that education is definitely one of the most important aspects of childhood, and although it is a universal right to primary education, it honestly makes me so sad that there are so many children out there who will never learn be able to write their own name or read a book.
For a long time I took my education for granted and only recently have I really been attempting to make the most of all the oppertunities I have. I'm pretty lucky.

Here's what I did on Valentine's Day:
  • Woke up at 6 AM
  • Phoebe gave me a hand-made top which has 'All by myself' written on it
  • I get an extra-large coffee at Central (need the extra caffeine....). I ask the couple if they are doing anything special for Valentine's Day, to which she replies 'Yes.....you don't want to know'. Reow. Glad to know that they've still got that spark ;).
  • Arrive at school wearing my new awésomeT-shirt over my blouse
  • Sit in common-room eating Carol's home-made chocolate and other flavoured home-made lollypops
  • Kate gives me an úber awesome bracelet that she made for me....I'm baking her love-heart cupcakes..
  • Lunch: Sing 'All by Myself' with Jedda and various other lost souls. The video clip to that song is too hilarious for words. So. Lame.
  • Get banned from singing the song in the common room
  • Come home, continue singing song, Dad bans from singing song at home. Where do I sing the song now!
  • Alllllllllll by mmmyyyyseeellffff......
  • Sit in bed on Facebook, alone (unless you count fb as socialising....) in the dark with my love-heart fairy lights on. Single life CAN be fun!
If you haven't been bored to death yet, please put up with the following rant. I need to get it off my system.
HORSE RACING IS REVOLTING. It's animal cruelty and I honestly do not understand why in this day and age it hasn't been made illegal. It's disgusting- exploiting horses purely for the purpose of profit. I'm going to e-mail Greenpeace...........

Day 19

Day 19: Disrespecting your parents
I have a lot of respect for my parents. I know it sounds lame, but it's true. Although this is the case, I'm the normal teenager in terms of arguing/talking back/disobeying. That aside, I'm an awesome, wise, amazing, fearless, hilarious, gorgeous, (insert more flattering adjectives) daughter.

Awesome party last night. Pool turned different colours and there was a strobe- I have been deprived of strobe lights for too long. Got a tad dizzy and collapsed on lounge.........but it was so worth it

I would like to use this post to acknowledge how legendary two of my friends are....
FRIDAY: Hannie and Kate feel like being somewhere else other than school. What did they do about this feeling?
THEY CAUGHT THE TRAIN TO THE BLUE MOUNTAINS!
I'll be the first to admit that I didn't believe them when they packed their bags and got on a bus to Central, saying that they were catching a train to the Blue Mountains. But they did. After school, when I logged in on Facebook, I my jaw dropped as I saw a photo of them at the Blue Mountains.
Vat Legends. There should be a day on the calendar to celebrate this photo's legendness.


Hannie and Kate:Legends since 11/2/11

Day 18. Come at me brah.

Yah so like I haven't even given up on this 30 challenge yet.

Day 18: Your beliefs
What a broad question. I honestly don't know how to answer that. You, mysterious 3rd person question asker, could be asking about my beliefs regarding religion (you did ask me one on that subject previously though), human existance, love, Lady Gaga, Switzerland, extraterrestrial life, the Universe, sex, ice-cream, marriage, musicals, teenage angst, Tzvetan Todorov, or my Mother's banana cake. You need to sharpen up your questions if you want quality answers.

Today was immediately filed in my 'FML Day' file.
Why, you may ask? The following reasons justify my statement:

  • No money for coffee
  • Fell asleep in the common room so I didn't get work one
  • Spilt my hot pasta on my blouse, resulting in me having to wear a jumper for the rest of the day. Yeah, the heat made it not all that pleasurable
  • Sulked at the fact that I'm not seeing Phoenix at Good Vibrations
  • Was given an essay in Ext. English written by a girl last year- so sophisticated that I couldn't understand a word of it...........seriously.
  • Ms Ordell wasn't as school, consequently meaning that I didn't get any critical feedback for the weekend
  • Dropped my super cool drink bottle on the wooden floor so the lid half-broke
  • Dropped my box of Smiggle highlighters all over the wooden floor so they scattered everywhere
The day got better after lunch though- Cindy and I went a bit crazy with the web-cam on my laptop. No comment. 

This weekend is jam-packed:
  •  Legal- page on State Sovereignty
  • Ext. History work on the Annales historians
  • Finish E.H. Carr questions
  • Drama logbook
  • Find a related text for post-modernism
  • Orlando essay
  • Russian Revolution notes
  • Party
  • State Library
  • Eat Macaroons at Lindt Cafe
I really, really want this ring. Really. If anyone sees it/has seen it in a shop, could you pretty please shoot me an email to the address on my Penpals page? Maybe we'll find success like with the star lamp!
The following photos make me really happy. Don't know why. Maybe it's because I'm so overtired...

Oh yeah, and one day I'm going to have a festival romance. At Glastonbury Festival, of course. What of it.
