nearly time

Nearly end of Term Three.
Nearly time to start having to do the things I've been saying I will for a very long time.
Nearly time to un-sunburn myself.
Nearly time to start accepting that it is IN THE PAST.
Nearly time for mum to start renovating the kitchen and getting excited about dishwashers. I'm sorry, but I cannot whip up enthusiasm for such things.
Nearly time to have to wear sunscreen everytime I look out the window.
Nearly time to go out and buy some new clothes and throw out the piles of rubbish in my wardrobe.
Nearly time to dust my room, seeing as now everything's got a lovely layer of grey fluff on top of it. No wonder I have a permanent blocked nose.
Nearly time to actually start saving money instead of spending.
Nearly time to try green tea.
Nearly time to buy new socks. All of mine have holes. Big holes. That get my toes stuck. That is very painful.
Nearly time to start practicing the piano again.
Nearly time to print photos and buy frames.
Nearly time to make some decisions re: Friday nights.
Nearly time to pretend to start studying for exams.
Nearly time to start learning to write neatly.
Nearly time to find a new favourite song.
Nearly time to cut my stupid hair.
Nearly time to read the newspaper so I can sound smart for P&L.
Nearly time to decide to drop a subject.
Nearly time to stop giving up.

The end!!

tired, sunburnt, headachey - time for a survey!!

So far 2006...

Have you had more than 5 different serious relationships?
bahaha no!!

2. Have you had your birthday?
Yep :)

3. Been to church?
Sure have - it's a regular type thing. Kind of not going as much lately though.

4. Cried yet?
Yeeeahhh....I had a conversation with someone where we decided it is practically compulsory to cry at least once every three or so months

6. Pulled an all nighter?
Sure - but they aren't fun the next day

7. Drank Starbucks?
No but I wish I had.

8. Went shopping?
Hahaha! What kind of a question is this???? Unless you live in nowhere land, there is NO POSSIBLE WAY of not going shopping.

9. Been camping
In a very loose sense of the word.

10. Been to the beach?
Yeah! Bit sandy but.

11. Bought something for over $200?
Yeah - well I didn't buy it, but it was my dance dress, so indirectly I own something that was bought for over $200.

12. Met someone?
I think this quiz is saying that in the sense of 'meet someone and fell madly in love' so no, but I've met a lot of new people.

13. Been out of state?
Hmm...no actually I haven't!! This is rare for my family.

14. Gone Skiiing?
Never have. I think I would embarrass myself.

Have you
1. Hugged someone?
What do you think I am? Socially challenged?

2.Slept in someone elses bed?
Yep!

3. Snuck someone over?
No...why sneak them? Just have them over =S Silly.

4. Snuck out of your own house?
Oh the effort!!! Just walk out.

5. Gotten drunk?
Never!!! Silly debauchery. (Big word!!)

7. Gotten a car?
Not my OWN - mum bought one. No I take that back - she bought that in DECEMBER last year. Forgive me, oh disillusioned readers!

8. Gone over your cell phone bill?
No, I'm the good one, but mum tries to blame the high phone bill on me. It's all her of course - she doesn't understand cap plans. Don't tell her I said that.

9. Been called a whale?
Not to my face. I wouldn't be surprised if it was said behind my back. Because I really am. A whale that is.

10. Drove somewhere?
OOhhh I drive through the Murdoch Uni campus! And I'm getting quite good if I do say so myself. Which I don't, because I can't break without giving everyone whiplash.

11. Done something you regret?
I think yes, but they were only little minor things. Which I have forgotten now. So it's okay. No regrets!

Lasts
Last Thing you bought?
Two movie tickets, a tub of fried rice, prawn crackers and two ice creams. They were ALL FOR ME. It's true. This is why people call me a whale.



Hahahhaa!! Kidding!! they weren't all for me! They were for my imaginary friend Catchiwald.

Last Person you hugged?
Jessie!!

Last Person to call you?
Ummm....I do not know. Calling does not very often happen. It is more like texting.

Last time you took a shower?
Last night. Soon to be in about five minutes.

When was the last time you felt stupid?
Oooo quite often, but the WORST was at Harbour's birthday party. I was so superbly embarrassed.

Who was the last person you danced with?
I don't know, probably myself - it's easier to dance by yourself. Otherwise you stand on people's feet.

Who did you last yell at?
Jarrad. He told me off for not setting the table when I was upstairs. And he was in the kitchen.

What did you do today?
Walked to Chidley, ate St. Hildas doughnuts, got sunburnt, walked back. Good times for all!

THE END!!!!!!!!!!

=) =)

Season finished

It's all over. I can't say I wasn't expecting it though - it was a relatively good game all up, and that's what I personally was hoping for. Check out a match report from Dockerland.com here (completely unbiased and beautifully written). At least Uncle Col will be happy. (I can't seem to help calling Colin Uncle Col - no blood relation whatsoever, but I think it's so ingrained in the Mt. Pleasant people who've been here since whenever he first came that we can't forget it).

In other completely unriveting news, this is a weekend full of Inquiry Projects, Lit poetry preparation, Intro Calc notes and History notes. Oh, for the holidays. But on the bright side of things, that is only a week away!

Some surprise changes on the youth side of things, but who can't expect that I suppose? I had to reapply to City Beach because they pay you well to stand around and look stupid. I am sick of people pretending to support certain things they used to hate with a passion (a passion they made very vocal).

I have to continue researching the relationship between marijuana and crime. I hope you (that 'you' applies to whoever is reading this waste of time) get to research something more exciting. Or better yet, not research at all!

history is sad

We went on a History excursion today to the Perth Holocaust Institute. Sad, but pretty similar stuff to what we'd been learning in class. But then they had a lady come in, Rosa something something, who had lived through the war. Now, I'd just assumed she was someone who'd lived through it as a commoner, life relatively easy, she was unaffected, maybe an Australian or something who had a basic idea of what happened. However, it turned out she had been a Polish Jew who escaped persecution, hid throughout the years of war from the S.S. Soldiers and finally was liberated, and came to Perth in 1948, marrying an Auschwitz survivor. Fascinating hey? Some people are pretty awesome.

So that was exciting. Well, fascinating really, the stuff she went through.

Music for all Tastes, the most pointless Concert in the whole world is tonight. LAME. In other news, I'm procrastinating, bored, and wasting a lot of time.

OOH! Freo play their final on Friday night :) YAY!

current...

Reason to Smile: Doner kebabs for dinner =) and Freo are still in the finals!

Annoyance: Inquiry Project that just won't get itself done

-ly Dread: IGSSA Aths Carnival tomorrow - cheerleading - lame!!

Excitedness: Andrea got engaged! She's getting married next May!! She's moving back to Perth!! I get to be bridesmaid and design my dress!!

Fear: My toes will fall off

Confusing moment: The difference between Bronsted-Lowry and Arrhenius Theories

Decision: I need to go shopping and I need to clean my room

Noise: Radio downstairs, phone downstairs, my phone upstairs and The Fray

-ly Watching: the words on this screen and the tee-veeee

-ly Avoiding: Homework, carrots

-ly Going: To get the aforementioned doner kebab!

footy maaate

I'm going to do this chronologically. Starting with last night (Friday 15th September).

For those of you that either live under a rock or aren't from Australia, the biggest AFL game EVER in Fremantle F.C. history took place last night at Subiaco Oval between the Dockers and the Melbourne Demons. It was their second final in the 2006 season, and only their third ever final in a twelve-season lifetime. They'd lost their last two, the only two they'd been in. This game, starting at 6:30pm on a perfect Friday night, was their chance to get another shot at making it to the game of all games in Australian life. Okay, so it's highly unlikely they'll make it that far, BUT WHO CARES. Freo won last night 102 to 74. Oooooh yeah.


Check out here for the run through. But the saddest thing? I think there were a total of about fifteen Melbourne supporters that bothered to rock up and support their team. But suckers! They still lost!!!
Next Freo game next Friday night at Telstra Stadium against Sydney. Should be some quality TV.


But to move on. Today was the epic day in history that theoretically marked the U/13s Winnacott Tigers grand final victory. I say 'theoretically' because in fact, they lost. Dad was devastated. Jarrad was devastated. The whole team was devastated. After an entire season on top of the ladder, losing only twice, and beating the only team they'd lost to (twice) in the first semi, they went down to the team with the evil-est (neologism!) coach in the whole world, East Fremantle. LAME. So that was very disappointing. But they got their medal, and dad is determined to coach next year completely by himself and kick butt. And have his voice back, and a decent team.

Great site. Check out the completely unbiased and very creative article written about the most devastating final in Freo's history here

(Okay, so it was only their second)

nananananananana water!

So now APPARENTLY you're supposed to drink 35 mL of water for every kilo of bodyweight. I have no idea how accurate this is, but it roughly equates to about 2L. So I've decided to be super healthy and drink 4 x 600mL bottles of water a day.

I wish health people would make up their minds what is good for you, and how to work it out. Crazy!

And in other news, mum saw a documentary on TV last night about 9/11. Weird as it is, it's arguing that in fact the entire event was orchestrated by America and that Osama bin Laden 'does not exist' (not literally, but as in he is someone created by America so they could start a war and pick up the economy). Now I'm sorry, but I can't get my head around the fact that an arguably civilized country would willingly blow up 3000 of their own people to rake in a bit more cash. I'll admit there is a lot of crazy stuff surrounding the whole event, but why has it taken five years? In any case, check out a site talking about it here

And another question - why was it shown at 10pm on Channel Ten on a Saturday night? I think I'm going to watch it to see how credible it actually is, but makes for some interesting ideas.

moving on...

So, now that that, the most depressing football game in the history of the world, is working its out of my system, let us move on.

Last night consisted of :


Good times. Choreography night = great. Miss Winthrop lots - can't help thinking sometimes if I should've stayed? But then again, I'm also extremely glad I didn't.

nothing to say

I hate football.

apathetic is a pathetic way to be

.: speeches
.: so-called 'leaders'
.: liars
.: hypocrites
.: marks
.: future
.: tiredness
.: fear
.: loneliness
.: apathetic thanks to the above

current nerve-wracking events...

* Officials speeches to Houses tomorrow. Quite possibly one of the scariest things I've ever done because I'm doing it for something I actually really want.

* Pop having a computer. I'm still terrified he'll manage to break the internet the way he's going. But he's doing well with his pointing device =)

* Out of emergency apparently, but still not looking flash.

* Wet hair.

* I.C. EPW marks - we won't get them until Friday but I seriously think that a) I am lucky to pass and b) it is a damn good thing I'm taking up discrete next year and c) it will be the worst mark I will get this year.

* Chem test being moved to week nine as opposed to week ten. Out of the eleven sections we need to know, we have covered three. ARGH!!

* Officials speeches!!!!!!!!


But there are some great events too:

* Suddenly 30. Yep. Best movie. In a special kind of way.

* Invite to Harbour's seventeenth! I can't believe she's turning seventeen!!

* Post card from Kattyo!! I think you are a rocking child and that even if we only get to see each other once a month (if that) those once-a-month moments rock! (I used rock twice in one sentence! I win!) And thanks for the spunky Adelaide card. I wish I could go somewhere as interesting as that. *nods ferociously*

* The bus. A conversation I could actually sound smart in today.

* I.C. I got two things right in one lesson. Yess!!

this past week...

has consisted of...

* IGSSA Dance on Thursday - awesome stuff. PLC again was the best, but they do too many rehearsals. Worst was the Nike dance - *ugh* dances with a political message are NOT good. Ever. But we rocked as always, although the tapping could have done with a bit more practice =)

* Babysitting on Friday night. Basically I sat at home and put a movie on for them. And got paid for it. Great =)

* Ben and Sarah getting engaged. But get this. They aren't ACTUALLY getting married until 2008. However, that is still exciting and cool and many many congratulations. Also, this means an engagement party which means Zyllee can wear her dress!!!

* Freo annihilates Port Adelaide at home in a fantastic 150th game for Pavlich who kicked five goals and 100th game with Freo for Farmer, who kicked six goals. Now are definitely third, playing Adelaide at AAMI Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Pumped!!!!!!

* Fun visit to emergency. If by fun we mean horrible and nasty and never want it to happen again.

* Having a good laugh at pop and him with his computer. He thought that when he typed in his password and it came up ******** that it meant it was rejecting it. awwwwwwww =)

year 12!

I have become one of those crazy chickens doing seven TEE subjects in year twelve. I've decided to take up Discrete Maths along with keeping all my other subjects - Mrs. Runnalls basically said that everyone in the current I.C. class I'm in should be able to get an A in Applic if they just do the work, but doing Discrete is a very very good idea too.

Speaking of I.C. we had a Scotch I.C. teacher behind us on the bus today.

Longest and best bus ride ever =) loving it!

freo's new logo

Mum just sent this to me. How good is it???
Some clever bunnies out there!

but when i look at the stars i see someone else

slightly out of the ordinary:

* Penrhos's curtain in the Performing Arts thingo caught fire. So we couldn't rehearse for IGSSA dance. How funny is that?!?!

* Lit essay got moved to tomorrow...now I can do it on symbols which is easy because you say they're all phallic symbols and you're set!!

* I have silver eyeshadow. I think it makes for an everyday type look.

* Bowling for Columbine is some awesome stuff. Finally getting to watch it in Media. I believe this documentary is where I want to go.

* Switchfoot's new music is rather good - I'm thinking I'll have to buy the CD.

Yes. Tomorrow shall be a happy day =)
