I'm making an effort to get out of the house to prevent me of having a repeat of yesterday: lounging around the house doing nothing. Unlike some people, while I do enjoy the occasional sleep in, I have to be doing things, I hate sitting down with out anything to do. I sound like a bit of a 10 year old, but I'm sure you could agree with me when I say that sitting at home doing nothing is a pretty depressing way to spend the holidays. So I'm off to Miranda to meet my friend Alex (via Edmund's and Greer), and will probably come home late afternoon to try and tan on the trampoline. Sounds like a pretty good day to me.
I wonder where in the world Eleni is right now..maybe the City of Lights?
I thought this photo is really insane in the awesomest insane-esque way possible. I've made a pact with my self that one day I am going to sit in that spot and get someone to take a photo of me just like this one.
Taa Taa fellow cyber citizens. NOW GO OUTSIDE AND RELISH THE SUN!
DO I HAVE TO BE SO DAMN TALL. If only I could wear heels as amazing as these without making the Eiffel Tower look diminutive.....Aaahh a girl can dream.
Today was the first official day of holidays. Last night I watched and loved the Season 2 premiere of Glee = SO GOOD! Although I did love the episode, I hate the actress who plays 'Sunshine', the new exchange student, as before she went on the show she GOT BOTOX WHEN GLEE PRIDES ITSELF ON PROMOTING HOW ONE SHOULD BE HAPPY WITH HOW THEY LOOK AND ACCEPT THEMSELVES FOR WHO THEY ARE. Grrrrrrrrrr. Despite my hatred for 'Sunshine' (ironic name, I know), I CANT WAIT (use of capitals=extra excitement) for next week's BRITNEY EPISODE!
After the epidode came to an end, I trodded upstairs to my room and fell asleep thinking about the glorious fact that I could sleep in until 11 am in the morning if I wished, AS SCHOOL IS OUT! I awoke at 6.00 am. Joy. My first day of holidays was spent finishing The Great Gatsby (which was great; can't wait to study it in English next term), and reading around 50 pages of Mein Kampf, by Adolf Hitler, which has inspired me for my Extension 2 English major work, where I am going to write an essay on Political Literature/Propoganda (such as Mein Kampf and the Communist Manifesto). Don't know what specific area yet, but I know for sure I'll do it in that area, and maybe tie it in with my previous idea of studying the death/deconstruction of public language. The rest of the day was spent sleeping on the trampoline. How truly splendid. In exactly 58 minutes I will leave to pick my little brother up from school and meet my mother at Edmunds and Greer.
I have made the life-changing decision that I want to wear a headband like the ones in the photographs below to the Semi-Formal next week, as the theme is 'Casino Royale'. I think I saw one at General Pants for around $20 so I'll check it out tomozza.
Laters.
P.S. Do you like the photo behind 'Flower Girl'? I do. Me likey. P.P.S. Doesn't the picture below look like it's Never Land from Peter Pan? I'm going to live there one day. On a boat. Everyday I'll sing IM ON A BOAT, IM ON A BOAT P.P.P.S SMOKING IS NOT SEXY.....with the exception of this photo and this photo only

CHLOE'S TO-DO LIST: The Holidays Edition 1. Tan 2. Buy lots of clothes 3. Read (Finish The Great Gatsby, read Eat Pray Love, and Mein Kampf) 4. Get back into surfing 5. Prepare for year 12 (I.e. BUY A NOTEBOOK COMPUTER!) 6. PPARRRRTTYYY!
Let's backtrack a little bit. So basically the Regional Drama Festival was pretty funny, in the sense that our performance was worse than all of our rehearsals combined. Adapting a two and a half hour play for a 15 minute time-slot was never going to us or the play any justice, and it felt like we were all on the X-Factor as the 'panel of judges' gave us feedback. Speaking of the X-Factor, if you currently have nothing to do, click here to watch the most hilarious audition for the British version of the show.
In between each performance Tiasha, Nina and I made up our own genre/way-of-life/trend, in response to everyone having to be either 'Indie' or 'Mainstream'. My friends, yesterday, EXSTREAMLESSTISM was born.
TO BE EXSTREAMLESS YOU: 1. Can't be Indie 2. Can't be mainstream 3. Have to be somewhere inbetween 4. Be able to do the signature 'Exstreamless' hand move, which is a cross between the 'rock on' hand gesture' and the 'Eshays' gesture (....I hope you understand my terminology....) 5. Be able to recite our tag-line: Rock on Hang loose Get high
YES, I know it sounds like we are playing the game 'Bop it' (if you are unaware of what 'Bop It' is, and you are really, really bored, click here).
AND THERE YOU HAVE IT FOLKS, Exstreamlesstism for you.
Onto a different tangent, I loved loved loved the new Sass&Bide collection (London Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2011). They have finally moved away from the whole 'black/silver/white' look which was getting a tad repetitive. They have introduced bright colours and a diverse range of fringe-like textures which all look amazing (on the models, not sure how they would look on 'normal people'). The new collection is a whole new 'look' for Sass&Bide, and I applaud them for taking a new direction! If you want to see a few highlights of the collection, click here\
I really, really want this outfit. I've began to look around to find the perfect pair of shorts. They have to be denim, white-washed, and ripped on the legs.
I'm also going to buy this dress with my babysitting income...I absolutely LOVE IT AHSDJADH
I also know which movie I'll be watching 24/7 throughout the duration of the holidays:
Before I publish this post, I wanted to put these two photos as I would love to be in these two locations right now. Partying on a yacht and swimming in some exotic location by day, lying under the stars by night. Also, the pictures are damn pretty!
EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE DITCHING ME FOR EUROPE I though this song was cute and it reminds me of Europe/late-nights-on-planes-flying-over-cities/YOU. Plus the lyrics are pretty cute...HAVE THE BEST TIME EVER. Yours Sincerely, Your Jealous Friend Chloe.
Two ravens in the old oak tree and One for you and one for me and Bluebells in the late December I see signs now all the time
I found some photos which summarize what I'LL be doing these holidays (in no particular order): Sleeping, reading, partying/hanging with friends, SWIMMING
PEE.ESS. I absolutely HATE HATE HATE any music of the 'Screamo' genre, and I thought this was so, so incredibly funny. Click here to listen to it
PEE.PEE.ESS. I attempted to cut one of my singlet tops to make it cropped and failed. There goes a perfectly fine top. RIP.
DRAMA IS OVER! Goodbye FOREVER monologue, and I wont miss you...even though it was fun pretending to be drunk for a yearly assessment :P Now I am at home eating vegetable samosas and LCM'S (the ones that are plain and choc-chip). Life is sweet, except for the fact that ELENI IS DITCHING ME FOR EUROPE TOMORROW! Tomorrow is Regional Drama Festival (we are second, and have to stay FOR THE ENTIRE THING), then Legal orals, then FREEEEEDDDDDOOOOMMMMMM! . Aaahh these holidays are going to be jam-packed with awesomeness.
In other news, I got a haircut (trim)/side fringe, had two coffees, finished my drama logbook, whistled Teenage Dream for a lot longer than necessary, and rehearsed my monologue tomorrow about 1000001 times.
P.S I want I jumper like this. Now just need the money. I also discovered my future car.
Even though I am a loyal (to an extent) Sydney Swans member, I have to admit that I am SO HAPPY THAT COLLINGWOOD ARE IN THE GRANDFINAL!! AFL is SO (x100000) much better than NRL. I honestly don't understand why people like NRL: it's sooooo boring. They run for 5 metres. Tackled. Ball taken by a player of opposing team. That player then runs with the ball for 5 metres. Tackled. Repeat this process times 10000000000 and add a few trys and THERE YOU HAVE IT FOLKS, NRL summarized in 32 words (yes, I counted). Oh, and the AFL guys are heaps cuter. Just saying. Google Ted Richards and Dale Thomas.
Today was a lovely day. I like the word lovely. Lovely.Say it out out loud. I just realised that the word 'love' is in it. Cute. ANYWHO, back to my day. I basically spent the whole day at the cafe near my house Edmunds and Greer with various different people, including my Dad, brother, and some of my friends, which included Eleni, who is jetting off to Europe on Tuesday. YES I am jealous. Rachel and I also made a pact that we are both going to have valentines on next year's Valentines Day. Oh, and I wasted all of my pocket-money on coffee. Very wise Chloe, very wise.
I also had the life-changing epiphany that I want to buy a satchel (like the one below), and Eleni might be buying one I have my heart set on from Topshop when she's in London :D
Well my first day of non-exams has been of the pleasant sort. I slept in, read The Book Thief, walked to Edmunds and Greer for a coffee with money that Mum gave me, walked home in the warm sun, booked a haircut/colour (remember blue tips!?), painted my toe-nails red,listened to the Glee Empire State of Mind a million times (DON'T JUDGE MY MUSIC TASTE....I like Glee ok?), and have now nearly finished my legal oral. Snaps for Chloe. A couple of minor negative details included my logbook literally falling apart in front of my eyes, and the dogs not going FOR MORE THAN 3 MINUTES WITH OUT BARKING. I now have nothing else to do, except clean my room which I do not want to do, and have resorted to finding pretty pictures.
VIDEO TIME: You should already know by now how much I love Muse.
Ahhhh got to love cute British bands. Especially when their lead singer is George Craig.
I love Phoenix. Yeah, I said it. I love Phoenix and their cute French accents ok? Once you have heard this song you will love them too.
BEFORE I PROCEED TO MY POST: MUMS PAYING FOR ME TO GET BLUE TIPS TO MY HAIR :D my life is complete. I KNOW I always say that after something good happens, but seriously. My life is complete.
SO MY exams are basically over, and the exam period has only been going for 5 days (including last Friday). For next week, I have made a To-Do List. You know how much I love my To-Do Lists. NEXT WEEK 1. Drama monologue 2. Legal oral 3. Fitness First session (a lame attempt at trying to get fit) 4. Burn all maths textbooks/worksheets/workbooks/anything to do with maths & delete Maths Online Account 5. Clean room 6. Drink coffee
Today was a great day. There are two reasons as to why this day was above-average. Prepare yourself- they are pretty awesome. 1. The gorgeous Russian couple who run the coffee shop I go to every day gave me a free coffee, because I had no money. FREE COFFEE PEOPLE! Who agrees everything tastes better when it's free? Eh? *Awkward silence*. 2. The essay question in the Modern History exam was my practice essay question.
Yeah, you should be jealous. But please, don't go killing any kittens.
Speaking of dead animals, let's discuss Lady Gaga's 'dress' she wore to the Video Music Awards. Incase you haven't seen it, here it is: WHAT A BLOODY (no pun intended) ATTENTION SEEKING COW (pun intented) Now I ain't no vegetarian, nor do I criticize people for taking risks in fashion choices (hint Alexander McQueen, who doesn't take risks purely for attention-seeking purposes), but this is obscene. It just shows to what lengths Lady Gaga will go for attention- she's just worried her 15 minutes of fame is about to end (which it is), cause her songs suck (definition of a one hit wonder). It makes me sick that an innocent animal died for no other purpose but attention-seeking. I really hope Lady Gaga fails and becomes a 'has been'. EDFHJSHDFKJSDHKJFS boy does she get on my nerves.
I have now finished by venting for the day. Thankyou for sticking with me and I HOPE YOU AGREE WITH MY ANTI-LADY GAGA arguments :). I want Summer to come already. And money, so I can buy lots and lots of Summery clothes.

I thought this photo is really insane in the awesomest insane-esque way possible. I've made a pact with my self that one day I am going to sit in that spot and get someone to take a photo of me just like this one.
