Six reasons not to cut the top of your mouth

1. It bleeds.
2. When you drink hot things (e.g. tea) it burns extra muchly
3. When you suck on chocolate, it burns with the excess of sugar
4. You get that disgusting flappy bit of skin that kind of hangs off it in all its grossness.
5. You can't talk properly without your tongue bumping into aforementioned flappy bit of skin.
6. It hurts.


In other riveting news, it is Monday again.
Wedding photos to come - it was very nice =] The speeches...umm... not so much. Remind me to get someone who is actually funny to MC, or will just do it in a really boring cliche way and not embarrass themselves/everyone else. Same goes for speech readers. In fact, I think I'll warn my dad NOW, so he's got quite a few years to prepare an unembarrassing, un-lame, un-awful speech that I won't remember as the most cringe-worthy moment of my life.

But enough on the speeches!
Everyone looked very very pretty. And Andrea looked especially so =] So much happiness in Wanneroo, where you wouldn't think happiness could happen because it is so far away. And because Wanneroo is a weird name for a place. Not that I have a problem with it or anything. It's just...weird.

Okay. I need to stop procrastinating (again).
Back to studying the Aboriginal experiences in Australia 1945 - 1990. Anyone care to join me?

driving, hey?

Finished week one of school. It was so long. A whole, wait for it, two days before the weekend. And trust me, that was enough. I never really realize how tired you can get from school! No, seriously. I was absolutely exhausted, and I could have sworn I hardly did anything.

Some people on my 'I owe you my life forever' list:

* Mrs Bull - gave me an extension on my media assignment, thank goodness! Otherwise I might've gotten, like, a level one fail. Or something equally humiliating.
* Jessie - for being IN my media assignment. Without this kid, I would've have actually had an assignment to hand in
* Nate - for lending me his Mac & firewire cable, despite me nearly breaking both. If this HADN'T had happened, I would have for certain gotten that 1F we all have nightmares about. Okay, I exaggerate about the nightmares. But not about the 1F. (For the uninitiated to OBE crapola, this means that you fail at getting the basic level, and therefore should give up and bury yourself a hole to live in for the rest of your life).

There are more. But I can't be bothered right now. I am sure I have mentioned it to you if you are on the aforementioned list.

Life has been lovely (if not full of assessments - I kid you not). Sometimes I feel like all the point of Year 12 is to just fill in the spaces between assessments. But you ask anyone, and I'm sure they'd say the same.

This nail polish remover smells like perfume.

To continue on this random rant, my parents had their last parent-teacher interview concerning myself on Thursday. And considering Arts Fest was last term and was relatively all-consuming, my marks stayed happy. Which means I stay happy.

Except for the fact I should be studying for the History Essay/P&L Test/Discrete Assignment (haven't started yet =S)

One more sleep till the big wedding! So much excitement in one weekend, how can I handle it? I know. Homework =[

last day

School is tomorrow.
Life is so unfair.

In other, happier news, the wedding is in exactly four sleeps. Not-so-happy news within this happy news is the fact my bridesmaid's dress is so incredibly small I can't lean over when I wear it. As a matter of fact, I can't breathe when I wear it. So it should make for a fabulous day, anyway, cos the dress is quite pretty. The bride-to-be is also extremely excited, despite her dress (having been made in Newcastle - why? I don't know) and mailed over, being too short and too small. But it all worked out for the best because she hasn't eaten the last two weeks and now fits.

Not that I am condoning not eating. Quite the opposite. I work at a bakery! Amongst other such reasons for supporting eating, which I will not go into at the moment. But when it comes to (very expensive) wedding dresses, it is understandable such lengths must be taken to make sure you haven't thrown your money down the toilet. Although I have spoken to her, and she is planning on stealing all the bread rolls on the bridal table and eating them in the limo on the way to the hotel post-reception. Now, I can fully support that.

I should be doing my media, I should be getting my watch back, I should be cleaning up this tip of a bedroom and I should be putting all my stuff back into my bag ready for schooly-school tomorrow.

But...I think I'll take a break first =]

catching up

So the idea of holidays is kind of the relaxing one. Like take some time off, see some people, sit around all day then think 'what the hell was I doing with myself?' and just generally recharging the batteries.
Well, that's my idea anyway.

It appears not so much with other people, and not so much for this holidays. It has, in fact, been quite the eventful one. Next five days to be quite the eventful ones also. In happy and sad ways.

I miss them school kids. And not in a 'I haven't seen you in forever!' type way, although that is also true. I miss what they used to be like. Or...maybe. I'm not sure. I think it is more of a 'I like the way you used to be, but I can accept who you are now.' Hm.
I miss them church kids (they've all gone on Salty! damn the one year age gap)
I miss the Brumbys kids (although I just saw them, so I don't miss them as much anymore =P but still)

Thank goodness for the people who are your constants and get you through. There's nothing like knowing there'll always be someone around to care about what's going on with you, and can make you laugh. Win at life =]

Have to go get ready for the ball!!!!!!

today

Zyllee is sad

very (not) excited

So it is the All Saints' Ball on Saturday. And I am so not excited about it! I can't believe it. I thought I would be stoked. But no.

So aside from that, I am again procrastinating. Although to be fair, I have done a lot today. I wrote my entire Lit essay. Note the word 'wrote' not 'edited' or 'finished'. But still! Progress is progress, and five pages of five-syllable words later, I feel quite proud.

To be honest I don't really know why I'm writing all of this here. I think it is because the builders have made me be trapped in my room. Quite seriously. They're knocking down the walls on the side of the stairs. So the stairs are covered in bricks, and there is now nothing to hang on to when you go down the stairs. So I am very stuck at the moment.

Or maybe it is because I am bored. And my house smells.

Yeah. It's probably a mixture of those. Sorry to bore you =]

unbelievable luck

I love holidays. I think we should have them more often. However, I don't love the fact that this year, we don't get real holidays. We just have less pressured time to do our homework. So, to date, I have done half of my chemistry assignment. Which is quite the problematic one, seeing as I have at least two forms of tasks to complete for each subject. And I do seven of them. FOOLZ.

No more complaining.
And Lizzii - you are not huni. It is okay. I'm sorry if you thought you were =[ Huni is a whole different species. I promise you.

Bargain of the week: bought a top that was originally $20. Turned out it was on sale when I went up to pay for it. Then all the sale items were another 25% off! Happy Zyllee =]

Lit essay work begins in exactly fourteen minutes.

ooOOoo

Well Music (not band) Camp meant lots of pretty wineries. Which were very pretty. And winery. But there was a lot of time spent on the bus, and I think I am all bussed out. And now I should be homeworking, but I'm thinking not. Because, well, homework is bad.

I'm going to tell you a joke. Now, it may sound racist, but if it does, YOU ARE MISSING THE WHOLE POINT and I feel very sorry for you. Here it goes, joke courtesy of Catherine Wall aka Cho Chang.

Cat says: Huni and an Asian jump off a cliff. Who wins?

* here I will provide you with thinking space to think about who would win*


*here ends the thinking space*

Society.

LAUGH, oh crazy children! Ahh, the shenanigans...

Anyway, I have been thinking of all those weird things one thinks about when they should be doing homework, but their mind (and computers) distract them. And I was going to explain them, but I have just changed my mind. I think I might go eat some Chinese. Food I mean. Not the people.
Yes.

LOVE
