Yay for entries where you make no effort.
CURRENTLY: Swept up in something rather peculiar. Hmm.
HAHA CRYPTIC!
However. These holidays are shaping up to be something of an excitement.
Eeeeee!
On another note: Dora hopes the masses will enjoy the plethoric amounts of chocolate this weekend.
She certainly will. |

Every Livejournal entry these days seems to begin with the concession that wah wah no one uses it anymore no one will read this anyway HOWEVER i shall persevere in thrusting my mundane musings on your unsuspecting conscience blaming YOU AND THE WORLD for everything that is going wrong.
Long italics!
Things have been going relatively smoothly; and they're getting smoother as time goes on. I say this perhaps only because I've practically been on holidays since LAST Thursday, and once school comes back everything will return to it's usual, hectic, stressful pace. Actually I'm already starting to feel the pinch- there is a rather large load of extension history homework I must catch up on. It shall take me all Sunday. I am actually looking forward to it, in a strange, brainy brain brain sort of way.
In true Livejournal style I didn't start this entry with anything substantial in mind, so I'll just throw in a Stephen Colbert quote for balance. And because I like it.
"Say yes. And if you are lucky, find people who will say yes back. Now, will saying yes get you in trouble at times? Will saying yes lead you to do some foolish things? Yes it will. But don't be afraid to be a fool. Remember, you cannot be both young AND wise. Young people who pretend to be wise to the ways of the world are mostly just cynics. Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it, because cynics don't learn anything; because cynicism is a self-imposed wiseness; a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us, or disappoint us. Cynics always say no. But saying yes begins things; saying yes is how things grow; saying yes leads to knowledge. Yes is for young people. So for as long as you have the strength to, say yes. And that's the word." - Stephen Colbert @ Knox College 2006
Stay cool, happy campers.

FIRST POST OF 2007 ZOMG.
I've been nauseous all day so I have no energy other than to do one of those photo posts, because they seem really in at the moment. Because SO many people still use their Livejournals :| So we went to the beach on SATURDAY that day which was AWESOME WEATHER for beaching.
I steal from Linda. She is my Big Warm Hug.
( Coogee Photos! )
Yay for holidays.

It's a sad day in history when Eskimo Joe's site goes all sold out on our collective arses.
DISAPPOINTMENT SEEMS RIFE THESE DAYS
It's been a tired while. Apparently I haven't written in a long time. Fuck it, who reads livejournal these days anyway. Nevertheless here I am, listening to sad Rilo Kiley and trying to purge myself of my own mediocrity on this sacred little bastion of teen angst.
YESTERDAY WAS FUN
I guess. I had my flute exam in the morning. I think I hit maybe 3/12 scales overall, and I still got a B+. Considering I haven't practiced in the past two weeks at all because I've been overseas, too chicken to let fellow hotel residents have a chance to listen to my pathetic toots, I consider myself lucky to have passed at all. I found myself with nothing to do after that so I found myself at High watching what was left of their firsts basketball game against Kings- it was shameful how caught up I got in this High Spirit they keep raving on about. It was really, quite something. It probably would've been a different story if they'd lost, but what's done is finished.
AFTER THAT
Caught a ride with Mickey in his mad car listening to doof doof music with Ange, Frank and Wilson to get some lunch minus Mickey. I've never spoken to this Mickey fellow until yesterday, but what a nice fellow he is.
AFTER LUNCH
I went home. While at Sydenham a nice young fellow who told me his name was Paul mistook me for some girl he knows but not really, and because he was bored we started to have a little chat. I admired his resolve at continuing to nightclub and party through his HSC, and countered with my stories of doing exactly the opposite. He was most impressed. By what exactly? I don't know, but it certainly wasn't my stories. So you know, sometimes good can come out of Watkins fucking us over.
AND TODAY?
I think I caught a slight cold from yesterday, and I woke up too late to actually do any work. I watched Kiss Kiss Bang Bang with the justification that it was in preparation for our Crime Fiction studies in English, but in truth I just think the movie is so damn good.
CAN YOU TELL US MORE?
No. |

| | satisfied | ] |
There is perhaps nothing more satisfying than finally popping a tray of future-friand in the oven after an hour of sifting, melting and mixing. Except perhaps taking a tray of finished-friand out half an hour later. People say sex is pretty good too. But I wouldn't know.
Because I haven't had sex yet.
So for now, friand gets my groove on, especially blueberry friand, which is what I can smell in wafts coming from downstairs right now.
SERIES FINAL OF CHASER. Seems to be running in the current trend of tragic great-Australian ends, which is regrettable. Except Chaser will come back, -
NEWSFLASH
First batch of friands out of oven! Results: spectacular. Baby Brother Review: Better than your other stuff. It all smells so great and is exciting. Baking is exciting. Anyway.
So except Chaser will come back, and Steve and Peter, sadly, will not.
Life goes on, I guess. How unsettling. |

And now for The Dora Report
Generally a forgettable day, with scattered feelings of disappointment and deflatedness, perhaps brought on by the mild-to-medium depressing marks coming in from the west.
Happiness broke through a couple of times, the direct cause dorologists believe being the prospect of birthdays and cake.
Debate continues on whether or not this was one of the worst days on record.
Many appear to be on the affirmative, although the final outcome is still very much up in the air.
Back to you, Juanita. |

| | Fink - All Cried Out | ] |
I know I say this about alot of songs but BY GOD, this cover by Fink is something I could never ever get sick of, surely.
So I haven't posted in a rather long time. I really don't care. I would say something like I have better things to do, if that truly were the case. As it was, I spent the entire day at home watching Ready Steady Cook and laughing at the new sad little host who actually does make me laugh every so often, such is his sadness. So anyway I thought it would be a horrible, rainy day akin to the images of 'downpour' I have created in my mind as a result of physical lack of such for the past AGE in Sydney. No such luck, the sun came out, and having already moved all my plans for today to tomorrow in the morning I decided perhaps sloth for a day would not only be good for the soul but also boost my energy levels for Germany v Italy tonight/tomorrow morning.
Bloody hell, the soccer. I'm not going to do a Socceroos rant because it would be horrible overkill (It wasn't a penalty! Boo, hiss, never eating ravioli ever again) but I will say that if Italy do beat Germany (touch wood) and Portugal do beat France I propose the final be played in the nearest Olympic swimming pool as it is clear that is where the Italian and Portuguese players truly belong. Watching Portugal against England the other night honest to god I tried as hard as I could to barrack for the sou-westerners but the ridiculous amount of falling over and face-holding really did put me off. At one stage some poor fellow driving down the left of the field was caressed by an Englishman (insert repressed homosexuality joke here) and immediately fell to the ground, rolling one, two, three times as if he was going through a fire exercise. It's disgusting. It's the one thing I truly hate about the sport. The pansies.
Well anyway, that's about it. Forgotten everything else I was going to say, if there was anything to start with.
Good oh, take care you lot. |

Lavish. Ridiculously textured. Gorgeous.
They just keep reinventing themselves, and never seem to put a foot wrong in the process. You could never guess that this was the same group that recorded Girl. Or perhaps to a stretch, ASIAC.
There shall be much listening. First listen-through, maybe it gets EVEN BETTER.
In OTHER NEWS: It is a ridiculous kind of cold. |

OH WOW EXAMS ARE OVER.
I never thought this day would come.
It's been like stretched over three bloody weeks, and as Angela and I walked out of the seminar room after our English orals, we felt like we were walking from a burning wreckage, as unlikely survivors.
Yeah only she'd get that, so hi Angela. I know you're laughing. Maybe.
AHHHHHHH! There is no way I am doing ANYTHING REMOTELY CONSTRUCTIVE for the next week. After orals we went to see Hidden (Cache) and to say the very least, it was interesting. Very interesting. If anyone else has seen it PLEASE TALK TO ME because my god, does it mess with your mind or what. We had no idea what was up with the ending and I just checked IMDB and I feel like such an idiot. And it just raises more questions! Apart from that, it was amazing. See it.
So tomorrow I've got the day off and if the breakfast picnic doesn't go ahead, I will cry.
Which reminds me, there is organisingering to be organised. |

Raw pumpkin tastes like the illegitimate lovechild of carrot and rockmelon.
And, it may also make your stomach hurt. Will keep you updated as the situation progresses.
Only two days till Dylan Moran! Oh man.
My brother went on a sleepover last night and it was the happiest night of my life. And he's gone all day to some chess competition which is, to say the very least, rather odd, because he isn't even very good at chess. He got coaching for like three months then quit like he quits all his little pastimes that Mother and Father pay for.
But he is gone for now and that is the important thing.
But Dylan Moran! Amanda's seeing him tonight at the Seymour, which will probably be more intimate but that is all cool. State's prettier.
Dylan Moran!
ps. I had a very intensive maths homework session this morning where I just did maths for two and a half hours. I think I did more maths in that two and a half hours than I have all holidays, so SUCKS BOO FOR YOU not to be me. |

Duke of Ed was pretty amazing. Had a great time apart from the sleepless, bitterly cold nights with my lame excuse for a sleeping bag which doesn't seem to have any sort of insulating qualities at. all. Right now I am craving goulbourn valley peaches and pears, oh man. And my mum just came back from the supermarket.
Oh. Man. What am I going to do.
YES. I WILL GO TO THE SUPERMARKET MYSELF. And just buy the peaches and pears.
So it was the weirdest thing, we got back yesterday early afternoon and I fell asleep after having my first shower in three days (unclean!) awakened by the fuck-annoying screaming of the little kids of family friends running in circles in the bathroom so I just lay there fuming for a couple of hours before I finally got too tired to fume and fell asleep again, woken up at 11 this morning by Carmen to fume about Karl Cramp. Which was all very good.
Because I've slept for a very long time.
Which means I want to go to Gosford again. And walk. The whole thing. Again.
Because it was probably my last Duke of Ed expedition evarr.
So yeah it was awesome.
You know what else is awesome? My iRiver.
It's my new lover and it makes me happy. |

I'm thinking, wherever we end up going for schoolies next year, we should have a massive stimulus booklet bonfire.
And we can dance.
Reason being: There is an English essay due on Tuesday, and it is turning out to be alot harder than I expected, what with all it's synthesising and fancy techniques explainerising. So in turn, the stimulus booklet is like the pinata without all the lollies and happiness, in that it is rather shaped like a scapegoat and I thoroughly wish to destroy it. And in essence the idea of the stimulus booklet is a complete pain in the arse, because stimulate is perhaps the last verb that pops into my head when I think of the damn things [see Doze Off, or Jumping Off A Skyscraper].
In other news, school is great. |
