Boys are like songs. There are those songs that you instantly love, and the songs you hate at first but then learn to like. There are the songs you like at first, but then they start to get irritating. There are the songs that you love when you first hear them, but when you truly listen to them, you realize they aren’t that great after all. And then there are the songs that you may not hear for awhile, but when you do hear them, you still know all the words.

Just one of those days....

I didn't like last night's Glee episode, except the legendary line spoken by the one and only Finn:

"Dear Cheesus, please let me touch Rachel's girl boobies".

I think it was great that the explored the concept of religion, however having the only non-religious member of the Glee club being gay was a tad stereotypical.

Today's mufti-day at school was HALLOWEEN! Last year I came as Sarah Palin (complete with a mask which I kept on most of the day....only at a selective school would one not get bullied for dressing up as a political figure). This year I came wearing a normal, casual outfit, with...wait for it...
SKIN-COLOURED BLOODSTAINED TIGHTS!

You have to see them to believe just how real they look- it genuinely looked as though I got hit by a car or had my legs mauled by dogs. When I was in the canteen with my friend the lady at the register FREAKED OUT like you would not believe and nearly dropped my friend's butter chicken (my friend Jedda loves her butter chicken...no one get in the way of Jedda and her butter chicken).

Enough on blood-stained tights. It dawned on me today, when I was in the library wasting a free period, that this is my last year of my schooling career before pursuing TERTIARY EDUCATION (!!!!!!!!!!). I stopped what I was doing and began to work my ass off, slaving away on my Extension History concept. See! I can have self discipline sometimes (*nervous laugh*)!

I really wanted to write something cheesy/motivational/sad here about how after this year we are all going separate ways and it's all up us to make the most of our lives.....but I thought that this photo appropriately summed up my attitude towards year 12.



But before the HSC IS HARRY POTTER 7 PART ONE! I am so excited and I have subsequently shifted into a very festive mood. My group at school has already begun to carefully plan a Harry Potter party (I'm coming as Ron...sshhhh!, complete with all 6 DVD's, going out to eat Treacle Tarts (Harry's favourite desert), chocolate frogs and SPIDERS! We're cool like that.
I think the photo below may be the best end to a book, ever. If you live in a hole which inside a hole, the sentence below is the line completing the Harry Potter series. I cried when I read it. If you have never read Harry Potter, I suggest you get out of my way before I personally torture you with the Crucio Curse.

If you didn't take my advice and move out of my way, and survived the Crucio curse, I also found this song while procrastinating and it is SO good to just press play to this song when you've had a pretty average day...


P.S. I really love the two photos below. Hope you do too!

One day

I will live here

New favourite song

It's a mash-up of Kids by MGMT and Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol = CHASING KIDS
I'm in love

P.S. I love everything about this photo, particularly the PINK TIPS!

My new baby.

Yesterday I:

GOT A BRAND-SPANKIN-NEW-SAMSUNG-BLACK-SHINY-PRETTY-LAPTOP!

My life is complete. I am going to take it to school tomorrow and am actually going to DO SOME WORK (*shocked gasp*) in one of my 3 free periods that I have tomorrow. That's if I don't get distracted by taking photos on the laptop's insanely epic photobooth.....but I won't. IT'S YEAR 12 CHLOE. AND YOU HAVE 3 MAJOR WORKS. And, to rub salt into the wound, I already have a pretty poor standard of self discipline. Looks like I won't be spending every afternoon blogging and trawling Facebook!

I'm now filing through my brain's filing cabinets (which are close to empty), in an attempt to remember what I did over the weekend. Here we go:
-> I babysat on Saturday night (7.30-12.30) AND Sunday (from Midday to Midnight..GOT SO MUCH MONEY!)
->Lions Festival (See post below)

Overall it was quite a pleasant weekend and I rate it 6 out of a possible 10 stars.

Now onto Chloe's Discussion Topic for the week:
JEGGINGS.
Now I know that this topic (and clothing item) is overkill, however upon seeing a woman at the station wearing the said clothing item, my hatred for this insult to fashion was reignited. Throughout the duration of my walk home, I brainstormed what one could possibly wear with Jeggings to pull them off (not literally). From the 30 minutes I pondered, I could only think of one possible scenario where Jeggings could work.

BY PUTTING THEM IN THE BIN.

Why not just buy a pair of skinny jeans? LEGGINGS ARE NOT MADE TO BE WORN ALONE AS PANTS (unless you are exercising).
I'm glad I got this out of my system. What's also soothing is that I think the Jeggings phase has nearly reached it's grave, and hopefully it will stay there. FOR GOOD.

P.S. Eleni brought back from Topshop the UBER AWESOMEST satchel in the world......

P.P.S. James Franco is so gorgeous. AND HE'S SMART. Drool. Commence stalking.
P.P.P.S. I really really really want a Polariod camera so I can make a collage on my wall!

Lions Festivale

TODAY MY FRIENDS WAS THE LIONS FESTIVAL! For those who live under a rock: The entire of Oatley village is transformed into an uber awesome festival.
I bought:
1x bag
1x Dip'n'Dots ice cream (Flavour: Chocolate)
1x Neenish Tart (Pink and brown...no jam..just the way I like it)
1x Diet Coke
1x Fishing Encyclopedia (For my little brother Chris)
1x Sour Rainbow Rope (For Chris...I'm such an amazing sister)
2x large skim capp. with one sugar

Yesterday I caught an evening session of Eat Pray Love and I must admit that despite the fairly negative reviews, I really enjoyed it- it is really inspirational/motivational to look at where you stand in life. Sounds cheesy, but if you see it you will understand what I'm saying. SO SEE IT!

If you are still sitting down in front of your computer you should slap yourself..FOR THE SECOND TIME NOW GO AND SEE EAT PRAY LOVE!

P.S. Before you pick up your wallet and dash out the door to watch Eat Pray Love, CAN SOMEONE TEACH ME HOW TO DO A FISHTAIL PLAIT. Kthnxbi.

Updates on my life:

1.I'm learning Swedish so I can talk to my friend Clare and no one will know what we're saying. Trippy.
2. I am now 4 days into year 12 and have ideas for all my major works, and have nearly chosen my Belonging related texts.
3. I haven't had a coffee all week and IT'S KILLING ME. I walk past two times every morning with the hope of scoring a free one but so far the plan has failed.
4. I saw Our Town at the Opera House, and the last act was quite magical.
5. I am nearly booked out for the next week in babysitting WHICH MEANS MAJOR $$$$ WHICH MEANS COFFEE!!!!
6. I love dumplings...and pork buns. I think I was Asian in a previous life.
8. I OFFICIALLY OWN A YOGA MAT and begin class next Wednesday....
9. I'm getting a laptop very soon!
10. I discovered just how easily people are influenced/changed by the people they hang around.......

So there you have it folks. My life for you. IT GETS BETTER! Promise....*awkward silence*

P.S. The 16 year old British diver Tom Daly is my new stalking subject.

Bom Chikka Wow Wow

So I take back what I previously said about Wuthering Heights. Despite me implying that it was lame/social suicide, I have given it a chance and have continued reading AND IT IS AWESOME . Most of the time I don't really understand/get into period novels, however Wuthering Heights is an exception. SERIOUSLY. GO AND BORROW IT.

The first day back at school-the first day of YEAR 12 *gasp*-was not that exciting, although I DID hang at Fox Studios in my double free period (eating a cup full of whipped cream). After this pleasurable, relaxing period (like my adjectives?), I returned to school to discover that I was expected to remain at school for the entire triple maths, despite me having dropped the subject. You can imagine my reaction when my teacher informed me of this. Not. Cool.

P.S. I have 5 things I need to say.
1. Today was significant in the fact that I found my future bed/bedrom/flat.

Talk about space-efficient/PURE AWESOMENESS
2. Aquariums make me happy

3. I want a boom-box for summer.

4. I really need to party in the near future.

5. I NEED TO FIND MY MATHS TEXT BOOK. If I don't find it, I will have to pay for a new one, i.e. money which I would much rather spend on coffee.

P.P.S.
I. Cant. Wait.

AND SCHOOL RETURNS, MY FELLOW CYBER CITIZEN FOLKS. I'm actually not that devastated as
A) These holidays were awesome
B)My sunburn has significantly gone down
C)I'M NOT DOING MATHS FOR YEAR 12 (this is the best reason)
D)I get 13 free periods a week to work on my major works which I have ideas/inspirations for...so much freedom!!!!!
E)When I finish the HSC I can GO TO GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL

See? Year 12 won't be that terrible, but I know that this time next year, when I'm pulling my hair out over the looming HSC exams and struggling to finish my major works by the deadline, I'll re-read this and laugh at how optimistic I was.

Today has been quite pleasant...far better than yesterday. Our entire family (including the dogs) went to Edmunds and Greer for coffee, and the lady who owns the shop came up to take our order, then realised it was us, wrote down all our orders (1 large skinny hot chocolate, two large skim cappuccinos, one large skim flat white, and one small cappuccino) from memory and walked back inside. I think we do go there too much. However, this will not stop me, or the rest of the family from going.

I am now drinking 1.5 litres of water from an empty juice bottle in a lame attempt to once again be healthy, and this afternoon I may or may not be meeting up with ELENI who has returned to the land of Oz. She called last night and I think I deafened her from screaming/asking questions/OMG-ing.

And she met Dakota Fanning in Paris. DAKOTA FANNING. Her clothes are TO DIE FOR. Snaps for her stylist.




Laters my friends, and go out and enjoy this lovely weather. Not that I can talk though, as I'm sitting inside on the computer.

UPDATE: I just took my red-nail polish off (WITHOUT spilling the remover on the floor-boards like last time) and I'm going to attempt to do this.

I still haven't gotten blue tips yet...and I just found this photo and I love how she has blue streaks...but then when it looses colour I can't just chop it off, so I don't think I'm game enough. But still, it looks great.

I have also decided that I love Jessica Stam's style, and she is now on my Style Icons list on the side of the page.

NOW GO OUTSIDE and be happy like these girls.

New favourite song

Press the play button or DIE.


Next time I bake cupcakes I am going to decorate them like these ones, and I'm going to take them to school as my lunch. WHY DID I NOT THINK OF THIS BEFORE. *Facepalm* DOOHH


The following image provided me with a little bit of entertainment on an otherwise boring day. Call me MIRITAMOKU.


AAAANNNDD finally, I had to post this because they are smooookin'.



P.S.

So it's my second last day of holidays before I begin year 12 (AAAAHHH YEAR 12 @#$%) and I am so bored I have been reading Wuthering Heights. WUTHERING HEIGHTS. ON THE SECOND LAST DAY OF HOLIDAYS. And what's worse is that I have now put the book down and have come to sit on Facebook, where I'm guessing staying for the rest of the day, with the exception of coffee at Edmunds and Greer.

P.S. I LOVE Alexa Chung and Miley Cyrus's individual styles. Très funkylicious.




P.P.S. I'M IN LOVE WITH BALMAIN'S PARIS SHOW. Methinks I want it all.
