Spaghetti

We had our 'Celebration day' today, this decades equivalent to muck up day. It was just as I expected, a morning of shit music and absolutely nothing to do. The barbecue breakfast was good, but after that it went downhills. We were confined to the oval, where it was horribly windy and a freezing and people had silly string shooter things and water guns which made it that much colder. one thing that would have been fun was the giant game of twister, but they tried setting up the mats on the oval and the wind blew them away. People ended up using them to slide down the hills and be dragged by the tug-of-war rope.

I was glad when it was over, and there was a surprise at the end - we were allowed to go home. so most people went home. I stayed, I figured there's more to do here than at home, and some of my friends stayed. Had a nice peaceful VCaD class just now, only four of us, all of them my close friends. It was pretty fun.

Tomorrow I reckon will be much better, there's actual events planned out for us, so we just have to sit back and let them take us through the day rather than leave it up to us and end up having a useless 2 and a half hours on the oval like today. We have a couple of formal event things, final church service, house period, but then we get a preview of the year 12 video (all year during certain events the school has gotten some dude to film things, gonna be sick), and then we get to each plant a tree, then we get teddys from the preps. so cute~

Well lunch is just about over, so I'ma go now and be with people.

Therefore, We Are Bleach

Lacking one, coherent train of though today, I'm just going to list everything that has come to mind:

• Today I'm helping host the Cre8 festival for my school, since I'm the Visual Arts captain (along with someone else) so I guess that will be interesting. I've got my own pieces exhibited.
• 6 more days of school, and the last day will be hella fun, so that barely counts.
• Haven't got the best marks for my exams. 60-70% for all of them, though my disappointment is probably heightened by the high expectations I have of myself.
• I need to get a job for once school has ended. Looking for a cattery, or something to do with animals.
• I think I will buy some shapes on the way home. I feel like biscuits that are baked, not fried. I have some spare change.
• My highlighters are not working, funny, considering i rarely use them and they're all dry. And the one I do use works fine.
• Ninjas can't catch you if you're on fire.
• Go visit anti-joke.com. Funny as hell.
• Party on Friday at school for two teachers going on maternity leave. Yay, free food!
• I hope we have something nice for dinner tonight.
• I have heaps of messages from facebook. I need to get on there soon.

Thats all thats really going through my head at the moment I guess, I'll see you around.

Look At The Moon

As of late I have had no internet. I am in this such predicament because people in my household have no respect for such thing as a download limit, and since my step mum needs the internet quite often for work (she is a VCE teacher) internet usage for us at home has been banned. T_T of course I get to reap consequences of this aswell, even though I hardly use up downloads. So now I can only use msn or deviant art or write my blogs when I'm at school.

And that's where more problems come.

Of course I'm excited that schools so very close to finishing, but only 9 more days of daily internet access is nothing. Then I'm reduced to internet access once every two weeks when I go to my mums. I don't cope very well with change, or lots of things for that matter, and son there will be a lot of free time for me to sit there unable to summon motivation to do anything. Internet used to be my escape from that, since there is so much to do without any effort. But that's gone now.

Free time is dangerous for me. I don't know what to do.

I Cut Meat

I have been collecting quotes recently, because I like that sort of thing. And if there's one thing I love to do with those quote, is butcher them. Not in the best of mood as of late, I have been reading through a small book my mother gave me after... lets say life hadn't gone too well... called 'Hope comes' or something, a collection of famous quotes or proverbs all to do with hope. But of course I find it hard to believe in hope.

So here are my versions of these quotes, I have 'butchered them' to reflect my downcast view of life or to give you a glimpse of what I feel. Um, enjoy?
