Yaaarrrr so I got a Formspring

I probably won't have it for long, so shoot away.
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.

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.

HOMGZOMG

Yaaa so I had a massive, spontaneous surge in page views yesterday....people must like girls who speak of sexy, 26 year old stockbrokers...

Day 17: Your highs and lows of the past year
This question is pretty tough to answer, seeing as though we are only around a month and abit into it.....
My high is just being generally happy this early into the year. Usually I'm wallowing due to the fact that I'm back at school and have mountains of work, however I've decided that this is my last year of high school and I'm going to enjoy every moment rather than sulk.
In terms of low points so far, the first day back was abit tough due to some dynamics changing at school, however I'm not going to be the one that lets things hang over their head. MOOOOOOOOOVE ON CHLOE!

I never keep the MX newspaper (the free newspaper given out at Central), however today I was reading my horoscope and it was so motivating that I had to keep it to write it here:

"Dont give up on things too easily. Be inspired by Thomas Edison's words:
'Many of life's faliures are experienced by people who did not realise how close they were to success when they gave up'."


Sweet dreams everyone! Have an awesome Friday. This week has gone so fast!

P.S. I totally forgot that I created a 'penpal' page. If you have written and I haven't replied, I don't hate you/think you're a terrorist. I rarely check that e-mail so I'll log in tomorrow afternoon and reply!
P.P.S. I WANT THOSE DRESSES BELOW. Can't decide which colour I like the best. Maybe the rose one? But what can go wrong with a short black dress!

I'm so lazy

Sorry that I've missed two days of the 30 Challenge. I hope that you didn't miss my wise answers and that you didn't die out of sadness.

Day 15: Your favourite Tumblrs
I don't really have a favourite Tumblr. I like to go on random ones every so often due to the fact that they're all unique and have their own style of photos that the person selects to post.

Day 16: Your views on mainstream music
I seriously want to punch the screen when people join the groups 'Like if you knew a song before it became Maintstream'. It's mainstream because more people like you listened to it and liked it! Mainstream has somehow become a genre rather than 'music that is currently popular', the prime example being anything by the lovely, classy Keisha. If that's how you spell it. Maybe the I comes before the E, but I dislike her so much that I'm not even going to Google it. Yeah, I'm ruthless like that.

Today was definitely put in my 'Above-Average-Days' file. To cut a long story short, I found a wallet this morning, and with Phoebe and Alisha, we managed to return it safely back to its owner who was:
A sexy, 26 year old stockbroker who lives in an apartment on Bondi Beach.
Yeah, be jealous. The office ladies were even swooning over him when he came by the front office to pick up the wallet and give us a nice big box of chocolates.

Yesterday evening I went to HSC Onstage, which is a showcase of the best performances, group and individual, of last years HSC. It was my 3rd HSC Onstage and, to be honest, I felt that the standard was far lower than the previous two years I've been, with the exception of the last two performances. On the way to the theatre I found the most INSANE bookshop in Newtown. It's basically a 2 story barn filled to the brim with books that aren't in order. I found an ancient, hard cover copy of Jane Eyre which had tea stains and water-colour illustrations. DEFINITELY going back there.

Tomorrow I'm going to a Greenpeace conference at UTS featuring the 'Tokyo Two'. Google them. In the arvo I'm off to the State Library with the hope of finding a book for Extention History. If I don't find it, then you can officially label me as 'DOOMED' for the subject. Seriously. If I don't find it I'm walking out of the library, across the road to the Lindt Cafe, ordering 5 hazlenut macaroons and crying my little heart out.

I'm in love....

with you....
LOL jks I'm OBSESSED with Iron and Wine. So much talent. Every song is so unique and brilliant. I've been lying on my bed (doing Legal notes...taking me forever), with my fairy lights on listening to them for the entire afternoon.


DAY 14: Your earliest memory
I have no idea how young I was, but I clearly remember leaving a trail of dogfood all around my Grandparent's back-garden, the dog following behind me and eating them as I layed them down. Dog got sick. Chloe got in trouble.

Today I was SO TIRED. In the morning I got an EXTRA LARGE COFFEE and then at lunch, after deciding I needed more caffeine in my blood so I bought A COKE ZERO. In the end I was so tired (despite having so much caffeine) that I fell asleep in the common room during my free. I was kicked awake in time for my next class.....

Tomorrow is HSC Onstage. So excited! Wooooooooooooooooooooooo

I'm one of those people who have playlists for each season. Due to the weather's spontaneous decision to throw some coldness into our lives, I thought I would celebrate by posting the first song off my 'Winter' playlist. It's the perfect song to listen to when it's raining outside and you're in your bed drinking tea. Just don't spill your tea.

DAY 13

Day 13: A place that you'd like to move to or visit someday
I know for sure that as soon as I have the money (I.e. when I get a proper job whilst at uni), I'll travel all around Europe. Oh, and South America. I'd love to settle in Manhattan or London someday. I just love the two cities and their different city cultures.

Today I spent the entire day in my bed, except for two trips downstairs. I ate 5 cupcakes and now there are crumbs in the spine of my Legal Studies textbook. Solid effort Chloe.

COMING UP THIS WEEK:
-HSC Onstage
-State Library
-COFFFFEEEEEE (now that I have money from babysitting!)
-Yoga
-Party
-Stressing over having 3 major works
-Crying over the fact that I'm not seeing Phoenix at Good Vibrations
-Stalking my friend Clare's blog. Click here to read it!.

Max is cool Pt. 2

Max and Beretov claim that all I write about on this blog is my feelings , so I handed my laptop over to them for 10 minutes:

This blog shall be different. Because Max Korber's name is the title of this glorious edition, I will not dishonour him by talking about my feelings. So do enjoy this emotion-free blog. I approve of today's content.

I was really caught up in love with the woman of my dreams. She looked so masculine, infact she may have been a man who liked eating ice cream. Hi, I am Chlobe One Kenobie and I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cool...
I enjoy the following- I have provided a handy list:
Hi my name is Chloe, I go to Sydney Tech and enjoy a nice pair of slacks. Some years later, doctors will tell me I have an IQ of 48 or what some others would say, "metally retarded"....I like to think i'm special...

I find it ironic that they complain about me only talking about my feelings then continue to post about my 'supposed feelings'.....solid effort guys!
P.s. the line 'I enjoy the following- I have provided a handy list' doesn't even make sense....just saying...
P.P.S Sydney Tech is an all boys school.....

But otherwise, boys, that was a quality piece of imaginitive writing. I'm sure my blog is anticipating your return.

Orlando

I've decided to skip the question of my 10 random iPod songs due to the fact that my iPod is now dead and I can't be bothered to charge it.

Day 12: Bullet your whole day

• Woke up early for yoga
• Couldn't be bothered going to yoga
• Stayed in my room which was air-conditioned to 18 degrees, wrapped in my quilt. 
• Got dressed 
• Went for coffee at Edmund's and Greer- YIIIEEWWSKIES FOR DOUBLE FREES ON FRIDAY MORNINGS
• Caught the train
• Caught the bus
• Walked through the school gates
• Went to common room- first time I had seen it empty......was quite wierd
• Decorated common room with love-heart sticky notes 
• Wrote up legal notes in library sitting in front of a fan
• Ate a Wizz-Fizz lollypop
• Ate a pink-donut- the joys of the SBHS canteen and friends who buy me food.
• Year Assembly- had to stand out the front to get an SRC award. Awkward....
• Looked up phones on the internet. I'm going to get a BlackBerry Pearl......EXCITED!!!!!
• Actually worked in Modern and actually got some actual work done. Actually.
• Slept in drama
• Worked in common room
• Looked in shops at Central
• Caught train home
• Saw friends at station
• Walked home
• Ate cupcakes
• Dipped hair in blue food dye. Hands are now blue. Still can't get blue off hands
• Might go to Max's spa. We'll see. Cause I'm so spontaneous and everything.

We finished the film Orlando (by Sally Potter) in english extension today, and it wasn't like anything I have ever seen before. Soooo post-modern. I guess that's why we're studying it. The topic is post-modernism afterall..

Anyway, to the point. At the end of the film the protagonist, Orlando, said a line which was so memorable that I had to write it down.

"Ever since she let go of her past, she found her life was beginning" 


I don't know about you and your current situation in life, but I found this so motivating and inspiring for me  and 2011.  Now I just sound cheesy. But seriously.

The awkward moment...

when your Mum just doesn't understand...

Today was, overall, a pretty above-average day. To begin with, I got free coffee in the morning (nothing tastes better than coffee when you're not expecting it), had a productive meeting with Ms Ordell (my 4U mentor), finished Modern hw, finished English homework, and to top it off, Carol bought me a pink donut. Oh, and my birthday is in 20 days.

I can't be bothered doing today's question (10 random songs off Ipod), and my iPod actually died so I can't do it anyway! In place of today's question can I say that I think some people need to look at the bigger picture...that is, if they have one. Just a word of advice? Kthnxbi.

TOMORROW IS THE BEST DAY EVER. I only have to go to school at 11. I might take a yoga class in the morning- it starts at 6am! It's the type of yoga called Kundalini which is all about self-awareness and spirituality. I'm going to start going twice a week because I'm cool like that. Yaaar.

Coming up this weekend for Chloe:
-English belonging story
-Modern- Trotsky notes
-English 4U
-State Library
-Hurzy Library
-MAX'S SPA.

Magical pairs....

Day 10: Describe your first love and your first kiss
My first love was with a character in the Jimmy Neutron movie. Yes, I was in love with an animated character. Can't remember his name now but I do remember that he was really cool and rode a skate-board.
I'll tell you my first moment where a guy went to kiss me (I rejected him....cause I'm cool like that), because the story is hilarious. I was in year 5, and the guy who I was 'going out with' (by primary school standards), when we were sitting together on the 'silver seats', asked if he could kiss me, due to the fact that all the other 'couples' had kissed. I politely replied, before running off:
"No, because we will get Meningococcal disease". 
You kind of have to love my 10 year old self.....

You all should be very proud of me right now due to the fact that I:
FINISHED ALL MY MODERN NOTES FOR WW1! ALL FOUR PARTS!
Took me around 3 solid weeks and I'm finally done.

You should also be proud of me because I haven't had a cup of coffee since Sunday! Even though this is because I've run out of money, it's still a good effort!

P.S. The prefect's shirts have the 7/11 symbol up the top, and down the bottom it says 'We are always open'. Provided much entertainment in the common room today. Turns out I'm not the only one with a dirty mind/immature.

P.P.S. I want all the rings on the left finger.

COME BACK, HOLIDAYS!

Day 09: What you hope your future is like
Happy.

I MISS YOU HOLIDAYS. Really, I do. Please retun. If you can't do that, can you please put school on fast-forward for 30 weeks? Kthnxbi.

Yaaaa so forget all that optimistic stuff I said yesterday. Arrived back at school and had pretty much the worst day ever. It was hot, couldn't find one of my school shoes (found it after 45 minutes), didn't have enough money to buy coffee, was ignored, realised how behind I was in Modern, had no tea to drink in the common room, and didn't have a fork for my pasta. I WISH YOGA WAS TONIGHT. WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE TOMORROW. WAH.

I'm actually pretty upset right now. I might go to bed. Sleep fixes everything. Especially when your bed is awesome.

Oh.....

Day 08: The moment when you felt most satisfied with your life
I was 14, on an old-fashioned steam train somewhere in NSW  (can't remember where to be honest!). It was just hitting full speed and we were going through a beautiful forest. I stuck my head out the window, with the force of the wind in my hair and on my face, and it was one of those moments where you make a mental note to remember that moment in time. I remember thinking to myself how good life was at that exact moment, and how much I had to look forward to.
 In a way, I kind of hope to always be satifsied with my life. I don't want to ever feel as though I limited my opportunities or messed up my future. I'm hoping that the biggest feeling of satisfaction yet will come when I finish school- that all the effort I'm putting in for this year pays off. That's if I survive doing 3 major works.

I'm more confused than upset that the holidays are over....it's like they were put on fast-forward. I didn't go away at all and it ended up being one of the best summer holidays ever....
I'm not unhappy about returning to school, because unlike the last summer holidays, I've been pretty consistant with my school-work throughout the duration of these holidays, so I'm pretty much on top of things. We'll see how long that lasts.

Day 7

Day 7: Your zodiac sign and you think if fits your personality
My zodiac sign Pisces. I think that horoscopes are load of crap....except for the one in MX. It always gets it right...it's a tad freaky.

Off Wiki:
A longing for movement and are extremely restless. Pisces is the most watery sign. It is constantly trying to adapt itself to its ever-changing feelings and to the moods and whims of others.
The first part is definitely true! I always need something to do or I drive myself crazy. Don't know about the last part though.

Day 6

I'm at the library again, and I have extremely exciting news to share with you guys:
I FINISHED IF ON A WINTER'S NIGHT A TRAVELLER! SO EXCITING.

I honestly never thought I would finish it. To celebrate, I am now up to page 2 of a Mills&Boon (It's called The Bride of Montefalco), due to the fact that I have unfullfilled desire to read a piece of shitty literature. I also have a few bridal magazines next to me. Don't know why but I find them enjoyable to read. This does not suggest that I want to get married. I just like looking at pretty dresses ok?

DAY 6: 30 interesting facts about yourself
1. I am a terrible sleepwalker. One time Dad had to chase after me down the street....mum even has to write it on camp forms.
2. I have a weakness for Coke Zero and 5 Gum (only the green one)
3. My dog Darcy's full name is Mr. Darcy of Oatley, due to Mum's unhealthy obsession with Pride and Prejudice
4. In my spare time I like to type in on Google Images 'cute puppies' and 'baby animals'. Don't ask. It's a habit.
5. I love flying on aeroplanes and I love plane food.
6. I have a phobia of bridges
7. I was scared of heights until I made myself go on the Tower of Terror at Disneyland
8. I tend to hold grudges as much as I try not too
9. I used to be athletic.....
10.I draw people I don't like on stress balls. Bad habit I know.... but it is the ultimate stress relief. Try it. Or put their face on piece of paper, stick it to a wall, and shoot it with nerf guns
11. When I was 5,  a company contacted Mum asking if my sister and I would fly to Hong Kong once a fortnight where wealthy families would 'hire' us to be flower girls at weddings. Yeah....mum declined...
12.I used to pass out alot. By the 5th time I would just casually say 'yo, guys, I'm blacking out- can someone catch me?'.
13. I'm going to try and stop drinking coffee for a while...let's see how long that lasts
14. I'm overly idealistic
15. I'm an extreme perfectionist
16. I'm now halfway in writing down facts about myself, and have run out of interesting things to say

18. I love reading crappy novels that Mum circulates amongst her friends
19. I only do well in subjects that I really love, hence the dropping of maths and science

28. I could live off Oporto. I went to a Japanese restraunt with friends and snuck in Oporto....
29. I don't want to grow old. I don't think anyone does though, thus making this statement not interesting in the slightest.
30. I'm too indecisive. And sarcastic.

Soooooo much love for this song

Oh well in five years time we could be walking round a zoo 
With the sun shining down over me and you 
And there’ll be love in the bodies of the elephants too 
And I’ll put my hands over your eyes, but you’ll peek through

Max is cool.

I'm at the library and I forgot to pack lunch and money for a train ticket home. Lucky I have Phoebe who paid for KFC and whom I am intending to scab money off inorder to get home. Let's hope she lends me money or it looks like I'm walking home.....
So far today I have done a little bit of 4U, opened my Ext. History file on my laptop then closed it again, read 2 pages of If On A Winter's Night A Traveller (STILL NOT FINISHED) and wrote a drama monologue. I've basically been working on this one monologue for around a month, combining a diverse variety of plays with my own writing. Sounds so sophisticated but I probably won't even end up using it.....let's hope that I do though.

Now onto the questions:
DAY 4: Your views on religion
It's funny that this was yesterday's question as at the beach yesterday my friends and I were actually talking about this. I'm not in the position to tell you what is right and what is wrong, I'm just going to say that you should believe in whatever you want to believe in!

DAY 5: A time when you thought about ending your own life
I was in the mountains in California with my family, and we had all rented snowboards and headed out to the snow. My sister and brother got on the seat infront of me on the chairlift. As my sister and brother's chair was coming in to the top of the mountain, my sister fell off, taking my brother with her. It was so embarrassing I wanted to dig a crater in the earth and have myself buried down the very bottom.

I think that everyone has those moments where you don't feel motivated and don't see a light at the end of the tunnel. However, for me personally, these moments are just temporary and tea and a sleep fixes everything. Obviously I wouldn't know what it's like to feel so terrible that suicide is the only escape- my life has been relatively sheltered and my outlook on life is quite positive. It just makes me so sad there's people who feel as though there is no way out and that no-one wants to help them.

Days 4 &5

So I have to catch up on two days today due to the fact that I didn't have a chance to do yesterday's question. It was Australia Day.....and I was really tired and sore from being in the sun all day so I went to sleep. Hope you all had an awesome day even though it's really just a day where the majority of citizens become over patriotic and racist. Just sayin'.

Today I'm off to the library and I can't update there so I'm going to write the answers up on my laptop and then post them when I get home...sounds like a plan.

P.S. I got a Tumblr. Click here if you can be bothered to check it out. Oh, and ask me questions on the ask thingo on it!


It's not replacing my blog or anything, I just thought I would give it a go. I prefer to write on my blog rather than ambusing you with hipster photos so basically if you want all that creative shizz then head over there after you've read the stuff that I've written here. Sounds complicated but isn't. I'll but the link up the top next to pen-pals so you can just click on it there. I'm just getting started so bear with me!

DAY THREE

Before I answer today's question, may I say that:
I AM ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED THAT JESSICA WATSON WON YOUNG AUSTRALIAN OF THE YEAR. That is revolting. What the hell does she stand for apart from the fact that if you have money and ignore warnings from your parents and society, you can do anything? It makes me so angry that she has become a role model. Hey, I'll admit that sailing around the world alone is brave, but so is running infront of a line of machine guns. Bravery does not equal role-model material. Want to know who in my opinion should have won? It should have been awarded to Jordan Rice who sacrificed his life for his brother in the floods. He represents far more courage than Jessica Watson, whose eyeballs are dollar signs....she's pathetic and makes me want to vomit.
Here are my parents' opinions on the subject after I ranted to them at the dinner table
Dad: Awarding Jessica Watson as Young Australian of the Year was an irresponsible decision due to the fact that she was obviously financially motivated.
Mum: I think that she perfectly summarizes your generation- always thinking about themselves.

Day 3: Your views on drugs and alcohol.
I'm not really a fan of drugs. I don't really like what it does to people. But it's not up to me to tell people what to do. I'm abit too high on life to need drugs anyway....I'm crazy enough with out them.

Today I:
1. Woke up in my huge new bed. It was like that scene in What A Girl Wants where she wakes up in that huge suite at her dad's mansion. If you haven't seen that movie let's just say that she wakes up and there is a HUGE grin on her face.
2. Caught the train to Central and saw the couple at my coffee place (where I go every morning before school) and she yelled out 'OH BABY I'VE MISSED YOU!'. We had a nice chat and she put a lucky charm in my coffee which she said was 'for boys'. Thanks coffee lady? (After 2 years I'm too scared to ask for her name so she shall remain being called 'Coffee Lady')
3. Got lost in Surrey Hills and had to buy credit to call friends in order to get directions. Already have run out of credit again.
4. Arrived at Belvoir St. Theatre to discover that we weren't watching a play but rather sitting in an office watching 2 plays on video. I managed to escape with Kate after 4 hours
5. Wandered around the city and bought a top, Sass&Bide bra and........
6. BOUGHT MY YEAR 12 FORMAL DRESS.
I saw it on a rack and fell in love. I tried it on, left the store, went back after an hour, tried it on again, called Mum while wearing it, went to ask if they do laybuy for that dress to find that they don't, asked if they could hold it for 2 days (they couldn't), called Mum again, Mum got Grandma to call me, I handed my phone to the sales assistant AND GRANDMA PAYED FOR IT WITH HER VISA. My life is complete. Now I don't have to worry about finding a dress. Go me.
DESCRIPTION TIME:
-Black (I know alot of people wear black, but it's because it looks the best.....)
-Tight
-Just above the knee
-Balero thing up the top
Although it's actually a really simple dress, it's quite hard to explain. Just take my word when I say that it's gorgeous.

I know I've posted it 1903444000007698 times....

P.S. I hate the following:
1. When I'm at the station and it's really hot
2. Not having coffee
3. Not having any motivation for Ext. History
4. Not finishing If On A Winters Night A Traveller on the train to Wollongong
5. Expectations and unnecessary pressure
6. School work
7. Nutella being nearly $5 at the corner store (just for the smallest tub)
8.My star projector lamp not being finished yet
9. School going back in a week
10. Life going too a tad too fast. Don't worry, I'm not going emo on you. It's just that I'm overtired and abit stressed out at the mo. Bear with me. It's what doing 3 major works for the HSC does to you.

Good night my minions.

Day 2/30

Day 2: Where you'd like to be in 10 years
I'm going to interpret this as not just in terms of location but life in general.
10 years from now I will be turning 27 in less than a month. Ideally, by that age, I would like to be in a long term relationship (not married), no kids (I'll have two at the most once my career is steady...if it ever is......), and be  living in an apartment overseas. It's not that I hate Australia and want to leave as soon as I can, it's just that I want to see the world while I'm young and gain independence. Job-wise, I would hope that by then I would have a full time job as a solicitor....and succeeding....that would be nice....due to my career aim being to be partner at a firm by the age of 30 (once I'm a partner I'll consider kids....even though babies gross me out a little). I know it sounds a tad Utopian but anything is possible if you put your mind to it...except stapling jelly to a tree.
And becoming a guy. But even that's possible nowadays.

I'm never getting married. If I ever do, you can print out this post and shove it in my face, laughing. But seriously. You're probably thinking that I'm just trying to be unorthodox, but it's just that when you're not married and you're with someone, you are together because you both genuinely want to be together, not because some marriage certificate has bound you together and divorce is such a hassle. You don't need a marriage certificate to be in love......sounds cheesy but it's totally legit. A Tiffany and Co engagement would look nice on my finger....I'd agree to being engaged forever? I wouldn't mind that.

I am now off to the train station to catch a train to Wollongong. Hopefully I will finish If On A Winters Night A Traveller. If I don't, then I'm going to cry and throw a tantrum like my little brother when he isn't allowed to go fishing. Seriously. It's TAKEN ME SO LONG. NJFKDSNFJKDSNF.

Tomorrow I'm going to go all deep and meaningful on you. Be prepared. 

Day 1/30

DAY 01: Your current relationship; if single discuss how single life is:
I answered this question in the last 30 Day Challenge...but if you're really that interested:
 My current relationship is with.......
My 4U English major work, Frankie.
We're really happy together, and I know it's going to be long-term which is what I was looking for. We've become really tight over these holidays, and he's great to snuggle up to when I'm feeling lost about life and need a release. We've had our ups and downs but I know this is going to last.
I'm kind of confused at the moment if you haven't noticed...

Today was not of the good sort. Want to know why? Please see below!

• I walked through the biggest spiderweb in the history of life whilst walking my dogs
• I got locked outside and fell asleep on the trampoline resulting in a sunburn
• Didn't finish setting up my star projector....will be hopefully finished by tomorrow in time for my new bed
• Had to decipher 3 whole emails from my 4U English mentor which she wrote entirely in capitals. Why, Ms Ordell, why?!?
• I sat on my bed the whole day.....
• I'm stressed about numerous aspects of life. I wish yoga was tonight. I need my instructor Rachel's soothing voice. And the yoga room's scented candles and relaxing music. And middle-aged men failing at doing downward-facing dog
• Didn't finish If On a Winter's Night a Traveller like I had planned....FML
• Realised that I have an entire 592 page book for 4U to read before school goes back...yay

Phoebe is currently reading the classic Middlemarch, written in the 1850's. In the book, their way of saying 'shut doooowwnnn' is 'you got screwed in the mouth'. Provided us both with much entertainment. I'm so mature.

Couldn't resist posting this photo....

Also, I'm starting another 30 Day Challenge with different/better questions. I managed to complete the last one sooooo why not do another one? Here it is:

IMPORTANT NEWS

The important news is that:

Tonight I'm going to do what I previously stated and have a shower with the lights off and the lamp on. It's going to be awesome.

I had to post the text below due to the fact that is freaks me out because I ALWAYS think about this when I'm sitting on the train. There are so people who I am never going to meet in my lifetime.

WOW....3 posts in one day...

When I was 10, this songs was the coolest thing EVER. Just listened to it for the first time in 6 years. Pure shit.


Such deep and meaningful lyrics:
Baby
You've been fired from hurtin me
It's time you go find another job (yeah)

The Fringe Benefits of Failure, and the Importance of Imagination

This is JK Rowling's speech that she gave at Harvard in 2008. I've posted the link to it (it's not that long though), purely due to the fact that I found so motivating/inspiring. It's the perfect thing to hear before beginning year 12. I hope it has the same effect on you that it had on me.
Click here to read it.

Here is my favourite part:

The knowledge that you have emerged wiser and stronger from setbacks means that you are, ever after, secure in your ability to survive. You will never truly know yourself, or the strength of your relationships, until both have been tested by adversity. Such knowledge is a true gift, for all that it is painfully won, and it has been worth more than any qualification I ever earned.

WOWZA

So, um, yeah....sorry I haven't posted since Sunday. This post is thanks to Eleni popping up on Facebook chat saying UPDATE.

I honestly can not believe that we're all heading back to school in less than two weeks. Usually the Christmas holidays come to point where I get bored. That hasn't occurred yet this time round. It's funny though because these are the first holidays where my family hasn't actually gone away, and rather than travelling alot I've been staying fairly local. I've been dog sitting the dogs across the road (raking in the $$), and it's a pretty awesome house. The owners said that I can use their pool and gym so I've been having friends over there (with the owners' permission...of course...).

Throughout the duration of these holidays I have had my fair few meltdowns regarding my 3 major works.
4 UNIT ENGLISH: Was so motivated towards the end of the term and now I'm lost. I sent a frantic email to my mentor so things are looking up....but still...it's a 4000-6000 word essay amongst all the other things on my plate.
EXT. HISTORY: My debate is so complicated even I can't understand it anymore. I've written 1500 words but I don't really know where I'm going with it.

DRAMA: I have 3 monologues, one which I really like but isn't long enough. I need to get off my ass and look around for more.

Tonight I am off for karaoke in the city. Time to show off my ....awesome....singstar skills.  

P.S. I WANT THESE SHOES. If only I could shrink a little bit so I could wear them without looking like a giant.....

Quote of 2011 (so far):
Phoebe: Do submarines actually go underwater? 


Being the incredibly lazy person I am, I didn't end up going to the rally yesterday (that should have been expected). It ended up being a pretty fun day despite me ditching the rally, so I guess I don't have to feel too bad as there is also another rally on the 6th of February.
Today I:
FINIISSSHHHEEEDDDD MMMYYY MODDEERRNN HISSTTORRYYY NOTTTEEESSS
I am now going to celebrate by going to Edmunds and Greer.
