Aerial EP Launch Goodness

Good times, great music.
Loved this night.
Love these people.
Love this music.
Love being out of the house.
Best night out.

But don't you hate it how after a totally awesomely wikkid night, you kind of shut down and all your hyped up enthusiasm turns into apathetic rudness?
*sigh* Lame.

Something to work on!

But great work Aerial it was an awesome performance, loved it!

thursdays = great

Because we had a House Meeting that was actually enjoyable! And that people liked! We won't be hated as yet! Not like this years' officials anyway...
And the bus ride was fun as always.

There is the downside of ending up in Maccas when you really wanted to be somewhere else, and you promised that you'd take someone there. But that's okay! We're sorted for next week, so it won't happen again =)

Note to self: Have a volume problem. Need to work on speaking/laughing quieter when out.

zyllee's first day back at school

...for Term Four, was surprisingly good!

Much better than I was expecting.

Yay for good school days =)

Life Lists

There is a LiveJournally thing that is all about making your life list.

So I decided to make one too. (The many many forms of procrastination!)

1. Wear matching earrings for three days straight
2. Find my other green sock
3. Have the most awesome dress for the ball that is entirely made by my aunt
4. Be patient enough with little kids to not attempt to hide them at Andrea's wedding
5. Send three postcards for no particular reason at all
6. Get over 85% for all my exams. (Except Media. Because you can't get percentages in Media)
7. Find my Chem Assignment (still hasn't been done)
8. Write a letter to that sponsor kid
9. Watch an entire series of Australian Idol (aw I've already done this. Okay - watch ANOTHER one) even if it's really crap
10. Read more decent fiction books
11. Never ever fold another pamphlet again in my life.
12. Make Mr. Steve the bus driver a cake

Laney, if by some miracle chance you come across this blog - your party was the best ever =). Had a fantastic time - there was good food, everyone had dressed up in some shape or form, and there were fun people. My personal favourite - Matty Marsh (or however you spell it). When he grows up, he wants to be 'white'. What a star. In any case, great party, great night, great food, great people to celebrate a great person - yay!!

And moving to today...Lizzii and I made the coolest cupcakes that have ever existed! And made a lovely big colourful mess =). I had the job of reading out the instructions. Liz had the job of actually making the cupcakes. I decorated though!

Yes. And now, I am feeling like I should go find my Chemistry assignment. Key word being 'FIND' not to be mistaken with 'DO'.

Step Up

I want this dance. Best movie ever.

Some exciting things about today:

It may be Friday the 13th but I can't think of very many unlucky things that have happened. I don't believe in luck, I don't think.

ANYWAY.

1. I walked on the grass at Kusum's place (or however you spell that crazy woman's name) and it had prickles. And they got stuck on my feet and they HURT!!! So I pulled them out. That is the only unlucky thing I can think of.
2. I saw Jess and Dean and got some great filming in.
3. I came up with a new angle for my documentary
4. Pop made us curried sausages for lunch - yummmm
5. Catty got her Ls - and not just got her Ls but got 100% on her Ls!! Well done you =)
6. It is Laney's 21st party tonight and we bought her a ukelele!

There were more...but they were 'had to be there' type things.

flashbeer

I don't drink beer. But Carlton Draught has the best ads in the entire world. Ever.

In other *exciting* news, we are buying Laney a ukelele for her birthday, which will always rock. As long as noone else thinks of it. And I had my second ever driving lesson today. So you'd think you'd go somewhere relatively quiet and calm, not too much traffic etc. But no. He took me into Fremantle. Yep. The most pedestrian-filled place with road works and crazy cars EVER. So I was scared. But I didn't hit/injure/kill anyone, so it's better than nothing!!

'we were meant to live for so much more'

Ken Headley is dying.

I'm in shock.

This man has been around forever. All my life, I've known Mr. Headley as the wise Headmaster who always said hello to me and had the greatest dry humour I've ever heard. I'm going to miss him a lot. Cancer really sucks, hey?
Thinking of you, Mr. Headley.

Happy 222nd post!

Call me strange, but I liked this film. People say it has no storyline, which is semi true, but it doesn't need one. Some quality stuff - exploring death, ends etc. But Lindsay Lohan still drives me insane.

I saw this, went to Timezone, bought a skirt, walked around, slacked off, met the kebab man and exercised more than I thought possible in an hour.

...I miss you more than words describe and nothing can take us back to what it was...

Jelly Bellys are the best

I realized none of my posts have been titled with a J. So thought I'd mention Jelly Bellys.

So:

1. I went to Adventure World and it was good =)
2. I went driving properly on main roads. And it was scary. But it felt okay after a while.
3. My toe started bleeding again and that stung, and turned my sock red.
4. I had pizza for dinner and that was great.
5. Lisa didn't get kicked off Idol and that made me sad =(
6. My mum is going kitchen stuff shopping tomorrow and that is the most boring thing I can possibly think of.
7. Gary has given me some stuff to think about, and that is crowding my brain.
8. I have realized how self-centred I have become, and this is bad!
9. I have an interview at Prouds and this will hopefully mean a new job.
10. Catty has the cutest nephew alive, and that's saying something.

anonymous, aye?

I had a person comment ANONYMOUSLY on some post I did about five thousand years ago...just makes me wonder, how many people read this thing? If you do, leave a comment so I know!! I don't care anyway, just would be interesting - and I do have the anonymous comments for some unknown and unfixable reason, so if you MUST leave yourself hidden, but it'd be great if you showed yourself!

In other news, I invited myself to a random get together and scraped off the top of my toe and bled all over the lovely limestone driveway.

So that was fun.

Cool house though!!

now it's over

It's strange that no matter how well you prepare yourself for a situation, no matter how many times you visualize it out and try to convince yourself that it doesn't hurt, when it finally comes you just kind of fall apart?

Basketball!!

I am so proud of little Kelly!

(she isn't very little though)

Look at her name on http://www.basketball.net.au/fs_newsitem.asp?id=67043&orgID=1&Oname=BA&O1c=8&O10c=3

(The linking thing won't work)

Well done Willetton *nod*

Don't you just love finding out who your real friends are?

oh yeah!!

and I COMPLETELY forgot to mention my complete and utter disappointment at not winning one of the huge toys that everyone was carrying around. (at the show)

*tear*

and a good weekend was had by all

Friday Night: Movie!! Walk to Remember!! Fun :). Battle Royale. Not so fun.

Saturday: Slept in for the first time in forever, then watched a great Grand Final. Nice work Eagles. Too bad Swans. I miss football already. Night, went to Boy from Oz - BEST EVER!!! Hugh Jackman is a star and he is sooo incredibly good. I loved it. I want to see it again.

Sunday: Worked the biiiiiiiig shift. Then Brooke and I went walking for about two hours in three different suburbs (knackering stuff), then watched Sister Act II. Fun times :)

Monday: Worked AGAIN (but then again, it was a public holiday, so that means time and a half for meeeeeee!) then had a kebab for lunch, bit more walking, and Royal Show'd it. It was okay. Bit of a rip off. But still fun.

So yes. That is the end of this boring post.
