2010 - the year of Biodiversity & Tiger

"

Life is just a walking shadow
- a tale told by an idiot,
full of sound and fury,
signifying nothing.

"

----Public Speaking topic (2009)

Hello 2010. Australia, New Zeland, Asia and those countries like that have welcomed the new year. All we need now is Africa, America and all those countries to welcome the new year. I must say, THEY ARE SO LAST YEAR (literatly, as far as I know). I always tell my friends who are overseas, and have a massive differnt time zone than me, that if I don't come on tomorrow, the world is going to explode then. Because once you think about it, all those countries (like Australia) will know if the world is going to explode or massive giant, purple, people eaters will destroy the human race and the people who have not experience tomorrow will have to prepare as much as they can to defend themselves against the giant, purple, people eaters.

This year, 2010 is the year of the Tiger (Chinese Zodiac) and the year of Biodiversity. For the people, who say, "What the muffin cakes is biodiversity?", the dictionary tells us that biodiversity means, "diversity among and within plant and animal species in an enviroment." I guess we are animal species too, cause of our distant relatives, the apes, I think. Haha, this shows you, how good I am paying attention during Science last year. Last year seemed so long ago, except it was 10 hours ago or so. I feel bad because I miss year nine, how it is (i must say) the bitchinessy (I know it isn't a word) year, ever, in my three years of High School. I hope year ten isn't the same as year nine when it comes girls cat fighting against girls, and the year sevens won't be complete prositutes, like the last year's year 7s.

As I remember 2009, as the year it was, here is the list of things that stood out for me personality, and not my hopelessly, top four memories on the news on YouTube:
1. The Japan Tour in October - I remember all the good times on that tour and how I just remember how different Japan is with Australia, not just technology wise, but the food and the culture and all that jazz. I missed Australia. When I came back from my 8 or 9 hour flight from Seoul, South Korea, I was so happy to see the Western toilet. It took me five minutes to figure out where was the flush button on Japanese toilets (it was THAT confusing - they had buttons for music, washing your behind, and everything else - except for the flush).
2. My electives this year - I know, how strange that I chose subjects as a memory of 2009. But the thing is, I gotten sort of close to my Art class and Japanese class. Not just because it was a small class size (my Art class was 13 people and my Japanese, five people), it's that we had so many in-jokes and I have good memories from those classes, I just love my teachers for those subjects because they just taught me well, unlike the other classes, which have a bigger size.
3. Wind of the Willows - Yeah, my last Junior (years 7 - 9) play ever. I remember just crying after the last show because of the whole last show thing and my last junior play ever. I hugged my friends who said that they would love me to be backstage. I told them, I would see every single night of their play next year, even if it means, spending $50 after the final show.
4. When I got into the A team for Hockey - I know it wasn't a biggie as the last three. But after two years being on the B team, I finally got into the A team for the Juniors (I think that you thought that I was in the First XI for a second). It was such a good season! Even though we narrowly lost to CCGS, 3-0, it was such a great season.
5. Managing to see Half Blood Prince on opening day, managing finding a non-soldout time and going to a cinema with half the population of the room filled (by myself) - that was a great day, the memory is self explanitory. I find it awesome how the guy who pushed the trolley was dressed AS A WIZARD! I brought my bag with the trio on it (the other side of the bag said "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince").

Have a great year in 2010 everyone. May it be as awesome-er than 2009. Just be yourselves, never forget where you came from, and just spread the love (haha, now I sound like a hippie).

"Life is like a musical. Except mine
is in a stage of Phantom of the Opera,
Sweeney Todd and Wicked."
----Me

Boxing day sales were held on the 26th December. The news were reporting at about 5am people were rushing into stores across Australia to get more presents after Christmas. My sister was one of the workers in Sydney who was working at Meyer store at the time. She told me that people were reaching their hands at all angles around her while she was packing clothes, she was so close to calling the Security guards and she said that to the customers, who automatically stopped. I don't get Boxing Day sales, aren't you suppose to be glad of what you got? Not, but more and more. It seems that this society is more materialistic than ever before. What about the kids who are poor and/or in developing nations, who barely get to eat or have a decent living like we do?

Bean bags. How random that sounds after my semi-rant in the previous paragraph. The bean bag that I was sitting on before and after we sent off my sister to Europe (she is currently in Paris), reminded me of a big pair of jeans. I simply loved it (haha, I'm a bit materialistic but not really). My family have this blow up chair that was purple. We have it in one of the closets in the house. My sister got sick of it taking so much space in her room (because there was only one place to hook up the internet and that was her room, so I needed the chair). Does anyone else have a bean bag they simply adore?

I have just read "Secret Scribbled Notebooks" by Joanne Horniman, as part of my summer holiday reading. Here is the blurb of the story:
"'My name is Kate O'Farrell and I am seventeen years old. I am in my last year of school, and when that is over I will be leaving this place for good - going to a real city, where I will begin my new life.
'I have long red hair and pale skin. I like staying up very late at night. It is my ambition to see the sun rise, but sadly I am always asleep by then. I love eating and reading, preferably at the same time.
'I am very tall, and too thin. I have never been in love.'
Kate has three notebooks, the Red, Yellow and Blue Notebooks, in which she records her life. Through reading and writing, living and learning to love, she discovers things about herself that she never expected."
The story is good, except I often had to re-read the page to understand what happened. It had a good ending that I quite say, "the right ending" for the story. I do recommend the story if you are into types of books involving a teenager finding out about something about themselves or about their family at the end of the story than they did at the start of the story. If you get what I mean.

My plans for 2010 and 2011 are pretty messy, but I think I know what I'm doing. Next year, I'll be going to my formal, doing camps, activity week, work experience and choosing my HSC subjects. For my HSC subjects, I think I know what I'm doing. I might be doing for the HSC is English Advance, English Extnetion 1, English Extention 2, Biology, Visual Arts, Drama, and Japanese Continuers. I might drop doing Biology and do Religion or Legal Studies. But I guess, I won't make a final descision until I get that piece of paper that list all of the subjects and I have to tick the boxes of all of my subjects that I am going to do for the next two years. I wish it could be easy as. In 2011, I might (in Summer) to go to Seoul, South Korea, to see my pen pal. I am currently saving now.

Have you guys heard of a book called "Stargirl" or "Love, Stargirl" by Jerry Spinelli? Fantastic book. It's amazing really, it made me really think about how much Stargirl and me relate. Even though I am not really a close real replica Stargirl, it made me feel happy that I'm not with the crowd or "Normal" in otherwords.
"Stargirl is like no other.
She’s as magical as the desert sky.
As mysterious as her own name.
From the day she arrives in a bust of colour and sound, people notice her. People remember her. She captures Leo Borlock’s heart with just one smile, and sparks a revolution with just one cheer. Everyone is enchanted.
At first.
Then they turn on her. Stargirl is suddenly shunned for everything that makes her different. And Leo, panicked and desperate with love, urges her to become the very thing that will destroy her: normal."
The song by All Time Low, "Remembering Sunday" makes me think of the ending of the first book. If you have read the first book, then you'll know why I chose the song to make me think of the ending. If you don't, listen to the song and read the two books.

"Don't worry about falling in love...

In most fairy tales,

They don't find each other

Till the very last page."

DAK productions. No, it's not a unknown produxctions of music or films. No it's not a band or charity help center either. It's going to be a new 'sensation' (if you want to call it that) going to start work in 2010. It's a sort of base off from my account, on YouTube, but not as a tester. Once a day or week, I'll talk about something that is affecting the world or something that I want to get off my chest. I've got a few plans on what I should say in my videos but this might not go into the final video cut. The idea is still in the planing stages and this idea will fill in my time, especially the last term of school next year, where I won't be doing much school work because of work experience, camp, Year Ten Certificate, formal and of course, the annual Christmas Concert at my school. But still, if anyone is giving any hope with this idea, note that it's in the planning stages. It may include some other people as well.

Christmas this year was really nice. My sisters came up and we had the morning of opening presents. I recieved an iTouch, clothes (a Ellen Page t-shirt, black shorts, black and grey sweat shorts, and a Hello Kitty t-shirt saying "Rad in the day, awesome at night"), stationary (diary, a notebook and a bubblegum smelling rubber), perfume (Avril Lavigne's 'Black Star'), and a skull money box. After opening presents, we drove an hour and a half to my Uncle & Auntie's place to have Christmas lunch with my cousins and (if it makes sense, cousin's cousins) cousins twice removed. It was quite good and it was nice to see some of my relatives again. My cousin persuade me to join Orchestra, even though it's a large comitment, I MIGHT join. In year 7, at my school's End of Semester Music Concert, the orchestra played "Phantom of the Opera", which made me fall in love in Orchestra. Yes, I do play an intrument if you ask, the flute.

As you may have read of my Christmas presnts, I got a iTouch. I still have my iPod 2nd Generation NaNo. I will still use my other iPod. The iTouch is helping me, heaps. Even though my other iPod has 198 songs (plus two podcasts) and my iTouch has about 30-odd songs, it helps me with planing. Yeah, I know, PLANING! plus I saved in my contacts phones of my mum and my two sisters, incase if my phone is dead and I need to reach one of them by my friend's phone or a pay phone. Also I'm planing about what to do in my blogs, I have several ideas on what to say in the next two blogs or so, and it's ALOT! As well as, swear jar money (for me and mum, I think it's not really necessairy to swear even though it's in our Oxford Dictionary), how many pages till I finish a book(s) (it's for my holiday reading), birthdays and (going to be) ideas for futher coming videos on YouTube.

People on the roads, yeah I'm talking about them on my blog, which is quiet weird in a way. When my mum and I (yesterday) were driving to see my sister off to Europe for three weeks, several drivers made my mother angry. One driver was having trouble and when too forward so the driver reversed back, while the guy behind us, started beeping. Mum got really angry and have her "driving moment". Yeah, road rage as everyone knows. So then from that incident, I started a swear jar for my mother, several drivers from that incident onwards, kept on coming into our lane and going back to their lane, whicdh I got angry about that, but I didn't have road rage. I kept my calm -laughs-.

I love my addictions. It's quite, well, not normal compare to other people. I am kind of into manga (up to chapter 56 or 57 in Fruits Basket and I'm getting the hang of reading it back to front, right to left). Or my other one, I don't really like reading a book and finishing a page without a full stop (when I go to sleep that is), I always have to finish on (or rather, HAVE to) a full stop and turn the next page and take a break. How weird that is? Does anyone else have any additcitions like this?

My holiday reading is really, going slow. 35 days left and I have to read 2,000 pages of books. It seems so much but I can make it. MuggleCast is keeping my sanity through reading heaps of pages. I am planining to read through one book at a time, or a least two. I don't want myself to confuse myself with 5 different plot lines and forget what I have read on a particular book. Does anyone feel the same with me? Do you pace yourselves on a certin amount of books and work it out on a caculator how many pages you should read a day? I work it out on a caculator, I plus all the pages that I am left with on the books I'm suppose to be reading, then devide it by how many days until I have to finished.

Lola and the Rawr is my, well, on the road band. The only things are that I haven't written any songs onto my MySpace account nor do I have the equipment to record it. Another thing is, I am the only one in my band -unhappy face-. Does anyone have any knowledge of recording devices and where to get them (in AUSTRALIA)? Or anyone want to join my band? The thing is, it's kind of Wrock music (for those people who don't know what Wrock is, it's Wizard Rock). -shrugs- It's your choice.

My flowers are blooming but eventually it'll shrivel up.

"If there is a tomorrow when we're not together...

there is always something you must always remember.

You are braver than you belive, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.

But the most important thing is, even if we're apart... I'll always be with you."

---Winnie the Pooh

Recently I watched Mary and Max. The whole story made me think all of my pen pals and how we write back and forth. I wonder if they still keep all of my letters? Where do they store them? Do they treasure my gifts if I give them for their birthday or christmas? Do they want to actually see me and judge me in person than rewad what I wrote to them? Why on earth did they choose me to be their pen pal? Why do they like Australia (or do they want to choose a country out of random)? This made me also think about one American person, asked me if I rode a Kangaroo and/or have a pet kangaroo, I said "No, the sky is green."

I have talked to my oldest sister about my Christmasd present (I need to think something creative for my family's presents, it's only five days left). She asked what did I want, I said books, then I said, "Why don't you think something creative?". My sister replied, "What is your favourite colour?", my answer: "Blue, purple and black (yes I know, Black is a shade and not a colour, I perfectly knew that as an Art student myself)." My is going to be really creative and get me a Christmas present involving those two colours & the shade. I want to know what I'm getting for Christmas! Is anyone feel like a child, and child at heart, that wakes up before 7am on Christmas to open their presents? I did that once, sadly it was like 5am and my sister eventually heard me, half asleep, told me it was the 24th and not 25th of December. That broke my heart, a day early and didn't get sleep much that morning. Sad, isn't it?

The weather here is so messed up! Two days ago, it was raining and all miserable, yesterday it was hot (yes, summer hotness) and now today was miserable and cold! Is it me or is God, or what's up there, decided to torcher us because of me having a blog? T.T This is why I dislike it being all Winter-like (I love Winter just not Winter in Summer). It reminds me of Hockey, how those cold Winter, Saturday mornings getting up on those ridiculous hours of the morning (like 3 or 4am to catch a 5 or 6am bus) or play games at home, where you wear those ridiculous short skirts in front of the Rugby guys. T.T Wind + Hockey Skirt = bad sight.

Thinking about the world & life

"Death leaves a heartache that no one can heal,

love leaves a memory no one can steal."

The world confuses me half the time. When we are taught at school to share, be nice towards each other, not to bully any of the classmates and treat everyone equally. What happened with everyone since then? Did growing up meant that we break what we learned when we were 4 or 5 years old? Did High School want their drama, so all we learned in Kindergarten, all those years ago, were left behind in that school, that playground, that class room. In the world people do horrible stuff that our morals are against.

I go about my life on "Be Optermistic, the people you hate will die eventually", "Life is a musical" or "It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live". Life is meant to be lived and not to worry about life's simple problems or love or education or popularity of high school. If you listened to "High School Never Ends" by Bowling for Soup, it's a good song to associate with the wide world.

Sorry for my rant here. I'm currently watching "The Ugly Truth" and reading Fruits Basket (chapter 45). Nice combination here, isn't it? I'm currently wearing trackpants (in the summer, it isn't quite... good, cause of the weather) and my Totoro t-shirt. I'm way too tired here and it sucks really bad. I'm too tired to read and do anything really, -feels gloomy-.

Summer love has never been so bitter

"No one is afraid of heights. They're afraid of falling.
No one is afraid of swimming. They're afraid of drowning.
No one is afraid of love. They're afraid of rejection."

Summer is full of surprises. I'm in love with someone that I shouldn't be in love with and this made it even worse when I watched New Moon today with my mum. It was kind of like Bella "falling in love" with Jacob or Bella standing by her man, Edward. Humans can't fall in love with werewolves or vampires (also, it's impossible because neither of them exists). I can't fall in love with this person because of boundaries and how it is "not right". Doesn't this suck? I hate love but doesn't everyone hate love? Doesn't everyone hate getting their heart into this mess and getting their heart broken into different pieces? As this quote says ("What happens when he's your prince charming but you're not his Cinderella?"), what happens if we meet the right guy/girl who we could spend our whole entire lives with but it turns out that special guy/girl will not spend their entire lives with you (therefore, they don't love you in return). How do we feel as individuals or as a group of people who have witness their first heartbreak? Do we feel as if our lives will stop in the middle of time? Do we feel sadness? Do we feel as if we can go on, knowing that we are going to find our Romeo or Prince Charming? Do we gain from the experience and use the experience on the next girl/guy coming into our lives? Love is the most craziest thing ever to us humans. We don't know how to stop falling in love, let alone how we got there in the first place.

I am currently uploading photos onto my MySpace account. I'm uploading my play photos that I haven't put on Facebook (wow, I cannot believe that I said that). I am trying to be more active on MySpace and therefore I'm adding a new resolution, (4. or 5. Be more active on MySpace). It probably going to be a huge failure, but I'm giving it a shot. Hey, that's the whole point of New Year's Resolutions. You have fun in them while trying something that you previously haven't tried before. Right?

Twitter. Yes I said the second T-word (the first is Twihard. Ooops, going to get in trouble -laughs-). I'm going to be sort of more educated and have an educated answer to my Twitter account. Instead of the loser people or celebrities using Twitter as a biographic story of their lives, every fluffing moment in their lives, I'll be using it for educational/fun/interesting manner. I'm using it in a boring manner. Well, just for stupidity only. Haha, love stupidity in the 21st Century?

Sick in Summer.

"Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source.
It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of withering, of tarnishing."
-Anais Nin

What are the chances of getting sick during summer? Summer is suppose to be warm, hot and anti-sickness in a way. Today has been miserable and cold. Damn you climate change and summer's stupid weather changing habits. Outside it's clearing up a bit. But when I woke up to look outside, it was raining, cold, and the clouds were gray. My cold had developed when I woke up and instead of a blocked nose, it turned into a runny nose and a slight cough. Great. Seriously, great. Day four of fifty-one days of summer holidays and I'm already sick. I'm home alone cause mum's at work and I have to take care of my 13ish year old dog who is cold as well. T.T Feels like winter where I live and not in Summer like it is suppose to be.

Christmas is approaching. I have brought my pen pals (8 of them!!!) Christmas presents. It all started because one of pen pals (from Hong Kong) said that she is sending me a Christmas present. Then I felt bad that I won't give her a present so I decided to send her and the other 7 pen pals (that I've got their address) a Christmas present. Australian style that is.

On the note of me being sick. I'm reading Fruits Basket while listening to Lady Gaga. Haha, nice... mixture here... While waiting for my photos of the Canberra trip that I did with my year this year upload to MySpace. I have many unfinished albums to upload photos that I half did. T.T This is how I am so unreliable when it comes to MySpace. I hardly go on it but I do appear here and there sometimes. Not as much as Facebook in which I just on there, most of my day actually.

My infinite playlist

"Every night has a soundtrack."
--- Nick and Norah's infinite Playlist tag line

I am currently watching Nick and Noah's Infinite Playlist. I AM IN LOVE WITH MICHAEL CERA! I am currently watching/just watched the scene where this couple thought that Nick's car was a taxi. Hehe, that scene was funny, but I couldn't laugh out loud (or you chatspeak people out there, LOLed) cause my mother is in the next room.

School reports. Yes, my school reports. The time of the year or half a year that I'm partially not looking forward to. I only am excited for what the teachers say to me actually. They always say that I'm "quiet" or "needs to share her ideas in which could benefit the class, obviously shown in her recent assessment task/exam essay" or "needs to ask more questions because I find it hard to know if she understands the topic". Great... yeah I'm such a talkative, ask-heaps-of-questions-related-to-the-topic and give-people-my-awesome-opinion type of person. Ever since I was in year one (I was roughly 6 years old at the time), I can remember not really asking questions or give much to the class. Recently, I was reading my Pre Kindergarten (kind of like another extra year of pre school but preparing for Kindergarten) report and it turns out that I was "popular with her peers". All this relates back to my year 9 semester two report. My mum was saying my best subject is Religion (RAVE is the subject at my school, Religion and Values Education). Then we were talking about my electives (Art & Japanese) and I was saying I should drop one of them to do another elective (I'm not saying which in case of one of my teachers starts stalking on the internet about me and realizes the subject I'm dropping is hers). I'm not even sure if I'm allowed to because my electives is suppose to be lasting till end of year 10, then I could drop it. Mum told me to try and find another elective I can do and ask Deputy Head of Teaching and Learning. T.T Yeah, I don't think that will be successful in my opinion, I don't think they will let me to drop it at this time, but hey, we never know.

51 days of Summer Holidays, full of wild dancing pixies

"There is one in all of us."
--- Where the Wild Things Are tag line

The first, out of 51 days of summer holidays and I went out of my house. My mum and I, went to our local cinema to watch Where The Wild Things Are. The movie was well executed to the book, even though it was tiny bit, well, mature really. It wasn't for kids really, even though there was a 5 year old kid in the crowd. You can relate one of the wild thing to the main character Max, they had both had problems in their lives, well in the movie that is, I don't know any of my readers personally but I can sort of relate to Max and Carol (the wild thing).

Last night was my Senior Presentation evening. It was boring, child abuse even. I was tempted to listen to my iPod during the prizes (because I haven't received one since I was in year 6, now I finished year nine). But the thing was, some teachers were guarding the back so there was no escape. I have no clue why I'm still alive after the whole 2 hours or so full of complete blabbing and award shaking. But it was nice afterwords, I was busy socializing upstairs of the mezzazine level of the Sports Centre. I was joking heaps with one of my teachers, we like to joke heaps. Hehehe.

Summer is acting really weird. It's WAY too cold for it. Stupid Global Warming. If everyone did their own part to help save the planet, we won't be in this mess. If the stupid Presidents and Prime Ministers get their behinds to help save the planet, Generation Y has to clean up the mess and can't show our kids the wonderful world we have now. Who agrees with me here by saying this?

Happy: 51 days of summer holidays
Sad: Won't see my friends that I can't see for about 51 days.
Looking forward: 1st February -see my friends
Not looking forward to: 1st February - School starts

Why can't my life be like those teenage singers in Asia?

As I looked up, the streak of clouds (left behind in the trail of planes) disappeared to tomorrow
Even then, I continued to paddle on my bicycle
Yeah, climbing up the upslope, to the sky on the other side
Because I felt I could overcome that some day
As if losing my way, get away get away
Don’t lose your passion/ambition (Get away Get away)
Stretch out your arms
---- "Laugh Away" by Yui

Why can't my life be like those teenage singers in Asia? My friend and I were listening to her iPod during one History lesson when our teachers was on the year 10 camp. She was telling me how a few singers on her iPod are our age (like around 15 years old). I felt jealous cause in Western society there is hardly any (as far as I know) any singers who are like 13 years old and famous. This is my conclusion to my life: I am a failure compare to the young Asian singers. Therefore, is some other teenagers, who like me, aren't talented like the Asian singers.

On the same topic of Asia, I am procrastinating and feeling like I am failing Japanese. Errgh, too... much.. of... a... demanding... subject... ever... Hopefully, after 8 weeks of holidays, I'll be pro at the subject. Otherwise, there is no hope after year 10 that I'll choose Japanese Continuers in years 11 & 12. I'm such a failure. After my much hard work to make sure I am keeping up with this subject, I can't really handle it anymore. I need... a tutor. THERE I SAID IT! Errgh, if you know me, I don't really like to be helped because I'm self-consious like that. Haha, go my poor me.

Happy: End of school
Sad: Still tired
Fad: Manga drawing
Anti-fad of the week: Studying

Sunday is the only relaxing day and a soul-missing one too

Do you think my personality is written in stone?
Are you positively certain that you know what you’ve been shown
I’m a snapshot of the person that you think I ought to be
Now give it up! Give it up! Give it up!
--- "Words" by Kate Miller Heidke

Sunday, is it? No play? My life has return back to normal. No more rehersals wrecking my weekend, no learning my lines (and procrastinating to learn them), no more getting my make up done and taking it off then doing it back on again, no more costumes (let alone the tight costume changes), no more getting screamed at for "not singing", no more corny dances, no more cheesy songs, and no more late nighters doing perfomances. I cried at end of the performance last night. No more Junior play for me. They did a tradition for the Senior play for the year 12s, giving them a teddy bear for graduating the play. Well, for the Juior play they gave the year 9s teddy bears since we are going to the Senior play. I was still crying and I got up to recieve my teddy bear with Totoro. My friend who got Cheif Weasel in the play said, "Don't cry (my name), you are making me sad." Everyone laughed. But when I was walking to get my teddy bear, everyone was like "I love you!". Now I am sad, typing this up now. T.T

On YouTube, I'm currently watching My Neighbour Totoro (となりのトトロ, Tonari no Totoro) with Japanese voice acting with English subtiles. I'm a humongous fan of Totoro. I've got a small and a big version of Totoro, a t-shirt of a scene in the movie (scene: when Totoro and the girl is waiting in the rain for the girl's father), and a pencil case of Totoro's head. When I went over to Japan this year, we went to a big toy store (I think it was the day when we went to Harajuku) and there was one level that has a section full of Totoro-related things. I got talking to a girl who came from a school in my state and it was cool. I am also watching A Very Potter Musical. My friends told me to watch it.

I really want to see the movie, Where the Wild things are. It was originaly a picture book, but now it's a movie. I first saw a trailer for Where the Wild Things Are was when I was seeing Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Maybe soon, maybe next weekend cause I am finishing this Thursday.

Happy: Ending School on Thursday and no more play
Sad: No more Junior Play

Awards, awards, awards, and disappointment

In my head I replay our conversations
Over and over til they feel like hallucinations
You know me? I love to lose my mind
And every time anybody speaks your name
I still feel the same
I ache, I ache, I ache inside
--- "The Last Day on Earth" by Kate Miller-Heidke

Disappointment comes inside of me tonight. Instead of being happy or procrastinating-nature in my blogs, I feel disappointed and exhausted (well I am always exhausted, no doubt about that). Disappointed because I didn't recieve an award for the Senior Presentation Night. One thing I abosultely hate is the fact that Dux (top of the year/grade) has roughly 6 or so indiviual subject tops as well as the top-of-the-year award. Why don't let other people get an award (for instance, instead of the Dux of year getting an indiviual award for that particular subject, the runner up for the subject - or Proxamie Assessit (subject wise) - should get it).

My school is OBSESSED with being academical, sporting or the arts with its students. For instance, if you are not particulary academically smart (like for me for instance) you CAN fall behind. I did that for one of my subjects (I had to go to get injections) and it made me fail my assessment task for that subject recently. Some teachers don't (not trying to be critical or mean) just won't try and help students all that much. I think that some schools have those type of teachers. Don't you think?

The play tonight (my cast - Blue Cast) was epic (eww, Facebook obsession much?). I said my lines correctly, everything went smooth (apart from tiny bit of mistakes) and it was pretty much a full house -dances around in circles-. The only bad thing was, a guy that I like (he knows that I like him) was in the crowd with his girlfriend. I had my "dramatic story" (not being uptight or over-dramatic-teenager) at backstage and then everyone was cheering me up (gosh, I love them so much).

Summer, Summer, Summer

Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
D'you know you know I love you so
You know I love you so
--- "Yellow" by Coldplay

Summer has arrived. After last night's opening night for my school's performance of Wind of the Willows, I'm extremely tired. I could drop dead sleeping right... now... Only if I could, in the way. I have to leave home at 3pm to catch the 3:25 pm train, in which I don't want to go cause of track work and therefore, I have to catch the bus to the train station near my school, walk for about 10 minutes to my school then get ready for the play. Yes, I am not ready what so ever.


One thing I'm happy is that NaNoWriMo is finished for the year. I have thought what I should do it right for next year, one is to do Word Wars. If you a NaNo-er and don't know what Word War is, (I got explained by a friend called Jane who is a fellow NaNo-er) it's you have a partner and say how much words in a period of time in November. Whoever reaches that score, wins (theortically). I'm planing to do that with one of my friends that I met through NaNoWriMo.

It's (Australian time), 29 days left of 2009. I am thinking of my New Year's Resolutions (it's fun to break them, forget them and actually fail at them). Here is what I was thinking as my resolutions (debate with me if you will):

1. To actually finish NaNoWriMo in 2010 - after two years or so not completing, I feel as a failure.
2. To actually do well in Science, Japanese and (possibly) Maths in exams - study pretty much in those three subjects.
3. Post more interesting blogs - maybe a year in a life of an "outcast" teenager.

Yes, three resolutions. Sorry for the side notes of all of them. I was thinking of my pen pals, like to wear a jacket or something (hehe Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants reference) and get some of my pen pals to do it. To get to know each other. I think I haven't told all my pen pals that I have another few pen pals in different/same country. But it probably won't work out, well it's just a feeling deep down inside of me thinking it won't work out.

Listening to: Car Wash by Christina Aguilera & Missy Elliot
Looking forward to: Sunday - no more play
Least Looking forward to: Me being in the play tonight with my cast - I have to say lines.

I can try if it's possible

If you want to get somewhere you have to know where you want to go and how to get there. Then never, never, never give up.

---- Norman Vincent Peale

NaNoWriMo is impossible. more or less 46k words in two days will not cut it. Why can't it be two months? I need cheering up. Glee is my only cure. I have no determination what so ever. Well, I only have 2% determination, other 98% is failure. Anyone else failed like me? I cannot continue and I blame my procrastination self. I cannot get over it.

My NaNoWriMo failure reminds me of possibly 25% of the NaNoWriMos who could possible fall out of reach of the goal of 50,000 words. It also reminds me of the hike that I did in year 7. Our first camp of high school, where we went to Camp Sommerset. My group (our teacher who came with us, was a not terribly smart or dumb Science teacher and our instructor was suppositly 'flirting' with her) climbed about 2km more than the other three groups (the size of my year 7 has been sort of the same with my year 9 grade. Year 7 year group was 73 while this year it was 67-68). I think it 12-16k hike or something ridiculous like that. It seems that my group for camp has no one that I am really good friends with and somehow, I hate my group at the end of camp.

Play rehersal was so terrible and unimaginable. On Tuesday is our opening night. While the teachers focus on my cast and not the other cast who has no real run through, I'm fearing if the other cast is ready for opening night. I should be reading over my lines but I HATE THEM WITH A PASHION AND MY PROCRASTINATIONAL SELF IS TAKING OVER! Sorry for caps lock, I'm frustrated with myself and I need to redo myself. Hardcore.

School is nearly over. With just about over two weeks left, I am REALLY looking forward to pretty much two months of summer holidays. Apart from moving away to another location of my area, I am trying to hang with friends. I need to be social. Kind of like this morning. I met a girl who goes to one of the local high schools in my region. We met on the station and we talk. She finished year 12 and she is extreamly nice. She just came and started talking, she loves to make friends.

No Chance what so ever

They made a statue of us
And it put it on a mountain top
Now tourists come and stare at us
Blow bubbles with their gum
Take photographs have fun, have fun
---- "Us" by Regina Spektor

Yes, my phycic ability of telling my NaNoWriMo future is that, I will not win. What so ever. Period. No matter what everyone says, I am not going to win. This is my worst NaNoWriMo, ever. Last time I had roughly 13k. Now at 4k and two days left with my play (my play starts Tuesday night and we are not ready, well, not quite anyway).

Well, I think I am going to put my NaNoWriMo novel in the "bin of maybe-but-not-quite-finishing-in-the-near-future". Has anyone done that before? Like went back to your NaNoWriMo a few years back then finished it? Or done their novel... again... in NaNoWriMo the very next year? Does anyone have any advice for NaNo-wannabies?

With the play that I've (I think) I talk in my past blogs, well we only got our costumes today. The sets aren't quite (as far as I see as an actress/actor) ready. People know either very little lines, 50% or at the least 75% of their lines. For me, I know 75% of my lines. T.T Yeah, I've been procrastinating too much, NaNoWriMo procrastination/worrying, or my work load. This is not going to be a "walk in Hogwarts grounds", is it?

I'll write you a bad romance

I want your love and

I want your revenge
You and me could write a bad romance
(Oh-oh-oh--oh-oooh!)
I want your love and
All your lovers' revenge
You and me could write a bad romance
---"Bad Romance" by Lady GaGa

It's almost the end of NaNoWriMo and the reach to 50,000 words seem so impossible for me. I decided today by 3pm, I'll write 6,535 words. Then from 3:30 pm to 8:30, I'll write 6,600 words. Big writting session here, isn't it? I am going to attempt to finish, no matter what. Hehe, kind of like Harry when he versus Voldemort in Book 7.

I have finished Loving Richard Feynman by Penny Tangey. It's about 15 year old, science/maths nerd girl called Catherine and how she writes to the dead scientist Richard Feynman. The adventures on how she surives a year and how she reacts to her parents divorce, Felix and Richard Feynman 's secrets that she didn't know about.

As a website tells it, here is a summery:

"Dear Professor Feynman, Last week Dad bought me a poster of you for my birthday. I hung it up on my wall, perpendicularly adjacent to my desk. It is one of the best presents I have ever received. A month ago, I had never even heard of you, which is embarrassing now I know how important you are. It was my dad who first mentioned you. I was worried about some dumb thing that happened at school. We were discussing the ethics of stem cell research in Social Studies. I had a few points to make on the subject. After I’d been talking for a while I became aware that people in the class were giggling. I looked up and everyone was staring at me like I was a raving idiot. I suddenly realised that I had been getting a bit overexcited, waving my arms and talking too loudly. When I told Dad how humiliated I was he said, ‘In the words of Richard Feynman: What do you care what other people think?’

Catherine is 15, in Year 10 and is a nerd. Not that she thinks the title ‘nerd’ is an insult. Far from it. She wears that badge with pride, but it’s about the only part of her life that she’s sure about. The poster of physicist Richard Feynman becomes a focus in her life and she writes to him. Through the letters, she tries to sort out her emotions, her responses by speculating what he would do in the same situation. She reads a book about Feynman and is inspired. Meanwhile, relationships at school are a mystery she struggles to unravel. It seems that her motives are always misinterpreted. Writing to Richard gives her opportunities to ‘replay’ what’s happened at school, even though she knows he’s dead. A maths competition brings together Catherine, her friend Sophie, Harry (one of the ferals) and new annoying boy, Felix. As the maths competition approaches, Catherine must re-examine her assessments of people close to her."

I finished majority of the book at play rehersal. In which case was annoyingest play rehersal, ever. 40 degrees outside, boiling hot, several dance routines, and walking up and down from the shops near my school. I know 75% of my lines and my first perfomance (I'm in the Blue Cast) is on the 2nd December, even though opening night is on the 1st December. The play goes to the 5th December. Great.... -sadness-

Welcome to my Life

Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you
Do you ever wanna run away?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming
-"Welcome to My Life" by Simple Plan

Welcome to my life of NaNoWriMo, worrying about bushfires and school. The bush fire season has already started and my state has the worst bushfires seen in 100 years. About roughly 80 or so bushfires, some in towns generally sort of close (life 5-10 towns away) from where I live. Mum was worried so she pretty much got the photos in boxes, so we can call a taxi (because she had her operation on her akeles attendant or however you spell it and we don't own a car) and get out of here. I don't want to loose my home of 14 years (we moved in my house when I was 9 months old) because there is loverly memories and 14 years of belongings. This is why I dislike Australia, really hot and have so many bushfires or flood, I lost count. T.T

NaNoWriMo 2009 is nearly over for Australia, 8 more days. I have 4,380 words, so my daily count is 5,702 words per day. Wow, this will be interesting for me to finish. Previously I had 13,000 words last year (it was my first year), now I'm tempted on finishing it. I'm currently doing Word Wars, next year hopefully I can mentor a new NaNo-er. Good job isn't it? Mentoring someone could affect in a small way. But still, you have a good feeling inside.

I still have to do:

1. My forgotten PDH homework.
2. NaNoWriMo - 5,702 words
3. Memorise my words for the play.
4. Japanese Study for a quiz tomorrow.
5. Still, Japanese study for assessment task on Friday.
6. Maths assessment.

6 things to do in 6 days. T.T -imatates cave people- "Me no likey". Haha, I got to say, I should pace myself and get some energy drink to keep me awake. I don't like those energy drinks like V or Red Bull, maybe when I do my HSC and start studying my pants off. I am not able to fully appreciate Tea or Coffee (after nearly two weeks in Japan, I am not a big fan of Green Tea).

Procrastinating is not a good medicine.

"Lookin' at , lookin' at, lookin' at me,
Look at that, look at how they're are lookin' at me,
Eyes all sticky like honey on bees,
Look at that, look at how they're lookin' at me"
--- "Chllin'" by Wale feat. Lady GaGa

As I try and do my half of my Geography assessment that is due tomorrow, study for a quiz on Japanese, do my forgotten PDH (Personal Development and Health) and NaNoWriMo, I should advoid, at all cost of procrastination. After it's not good if:

1. You are doing NaNoWriMo and your word count is 4,380 words.
2. You have a Geography assessment due tomorrow.
3. Wind of the Willows - lines need to be learnt.
4. Japanese assessment - STUDY
5. Maths assessment task - find the forgotten sheet.
6. Learn song for the Christmas concert in three weeks time.
   

Then I realise, after much thought, why on earth am I forcing myself to do all of these things? Am I that crazy to do NaNoWriMo when I should do it after I finish school in less than three years time? Are all the teachers torturing us with assessments that goes for year ten coursework mark in our report? Is everyone else crazy while I'm the only sane one here?

Apart from me being crazy and phycopathic, I felt horribly alone in Japanese. Apart from my friend who is the only other girl in my year doing Japanese, me being with three guys for an hour doing our "usual" (if you call it usual) things to our teacher. So a normal, "perfect" lesson. Well, I was alone in Japanese, I hardly talk and I just felt like I was day dreaming, all lesson. I hardly answer anything, just did my own work.

What is the Right thing to do?

My Extended Response to "What is the Right ting to do?" asked by Socrates:

What is the right thing to do? asked by the Philosopher Socrates asks us the question what is right and what is wrong.
What is the right thing to do if you are forced to kill one of your family members or kill four innocent people that you never met? What is the right thing to do if you had a choice to kill your family or you have to be killed?
My opinion to these following questions that relates to Philosopher Socrates question What is right? depends on one or the other side of these questions. What is the right thing to do if you are forced to kill one of your family members or kill four innocent people that you never met? depends if you see it that you can keep your family member or you kill your family member and keep alive four innocent people that can be useful more in society than just one person. What is the right thing to do if you had a choice to kill your family or you have to be killed? depends on if you want your family to live, and do things to help the society or kill your family and you can live on while you weep for the loss of your family. You have to see both sides and both sides could be the right thing to do.
Other philosophers like Plato (one of Socrates students) linked good with just is related to the person who is pure. Therefore good/just is emotional part of the state, when a normal man wants to be good as possible, he has to be purified. Plato also said that for being good in the material world is beyond this material world: for the best we can do is only a striving towards the perfect goodness that exists in the changeless, eternal world of the forms that lies beyond our material existence. (Quoted from Plutos book Republic). In the Republic, Plato broadens on good and just on the questions asked by Socrates to his friends (What is a good ruler?, What is justice?, and What constitutes a just state?).
So what is good or what is right depends on which side that you look at. Nothing is the right or the wrong thing to do.

Twilight vs Harry Potter - War between Fantasy Adventure and Fantasy Romance.

You know the whole story. MTV created this war between a poor written cliched book and a classic all time book. So which side are you on or are you just a Switzerland person?

I'm defiantly on the Harry Potter side (if Twilight was original and better written, then maybe I would be Switzerland). First things first, why Harry Potter than Twilight or Switzerland? Okay, Harry Potter is ORIGINAL last time I checked (been the fan since the first movie, when I was age 6 or 7 then started reading the books in Spring 2005). Twilight well, it;s cliched. A human girl falls in love with a vampire. Does this sound fimillar to you? Sounds like The Vampire Diaries or something along those lines. Why not Switzerland? It's because that Steph is not a very good writer. She needs to read a WIDE RANGE of Fantasy novels and STUDY her chosen topic (a.k.a in this instance Vampires). Not all vampires are cute, handsome, pretty etc like Edward. They CAN be ugly, stupid, imperfect etc.

Secondly, Why are you fighting a war between a book that you read and the other you have not? I can make a judgment on this. I read up to chapter 7 or 9 in Twilight. I keep stopping and starting because all it's about is how Bella falls in love with him and how he is so bloody beautiful and perfect. He saved her from the car, big deal. That was the only scene I enjoyed and she should of die really. Or just get herself in a coma and knock herself saying Edward is an ugly person.

Thirdly who seriously wants a stalker, forceful, idiotic, perfect boyfriend? He basically lies to her, he watches her in a sleep (if my boyfriend did that, he'll be dead), she is on a bloody run because he made her fall in love with him, he knows where the hell she is, he thinks he's "perfect" (she agrees as well), who wanted a forceful boyfriend anyway? Surely, if I have forceful, idiotic, perfect, stalker boyfriend, I'll be living on the other side of Australia by now.

Fourthly. what girls learn from this "twilight" book?

a) That they have to be useless and stupid and have no lives while having a stalker, idiotic, forceful, perfect boyfriend. All my ex boyfriends/ex or current crushes of mine are red heads, well built or just on the chubby side, older or younger, imperfect, nerdy, sporty, musically/performing talented people. See? They have all have FLAWS. Do you know what flaws is or do I have to write out a meaning for it?

b) Guys can treat girls with much disrespect as possible. THANK YOU Bella for setting back 100 years for treating females badly.

c) Romance is finding a perfect, Gary Stud guy.

With Harry Potter I learned that:

a) Honesty is not always the best policy.
b) Friends are there for you!
c) Love can be all shapes and sizes (e.g Dumbledore's gay lifestyle)
d) Have courage.
e) Study and know what your up against.

This is my opinion.

Why the hell am I writing 7,000 words today and procrastinating?

This street continued to run ahead
It should have been written in a map
but I can't find the town
and as I turned around to look at that place
the scenery changed
This world is our last electro world
The ground is shivering and broken,
and the sun has fallen from the sky lightly into my hand
The truth, above all, has been recognized
I'll leave the world's plan behind in this letter
---"Electro World" by Perfume

I ask myself at 4:30 pm after I came home from school (on the magical school bus), why am I writing 7,000 words (somedays 8,000 words, 7,500 words and 9,500 words). At the end, roughly at 29th November, I'll writen 83,000 words plus my original 3,760 words. So overall, 86,760 words, 36,760 words over my finishing mark.

Procrastination isn't helping me much. Facebook, Blogger and on YouTube while I'm writing this, is not a good start to my 7,000 word writing. I should of done it in my Science class when we were watching a video about ecosystems and the food chain (even though it lasted 10 minutes). What are some good ways of me stop procrastinating today and write 7,000 words?

My Christmas Concert is soon approcahing so I was cutting down to songs that I can sing and sing it at the Concert. The list goes down to:

1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sG_3IiSV_U ---> "Electro World" by Perfume
2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggTiV5ETRQ4 ---> "Two for My Seconds" by Operator Please
3. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xPsZVTIygA ---> "Green Eyed World" by The Blips feat. Amiel
4. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRp6Wl_9lKo ---> "These Days are Dark" by Harry and the Potters
5. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wRkoGKQ8qQ ---> "Love Story" by Taylor Swift

So which one do you think I should sing? I only have four weeks from Thursday to learn this song. I asked one of my friends from Russia what she thinks, she has yet to reply to it though. I haven't even asked my school friends though. I should even.

Where the hell is the normal people in the world?

"The World is Beautiful,
Just look around you,
The World is Beautiful
Just look at your friends"
--- "These Days are Dark" by Harry and the Potters

As I read magazines and watch TV, I wonder "Where the hell is all the normal people?". They are really thin, going on drugs, drinking WAY too much booze and crash their car, have double standards when it comes to jail time and way more other things. What is up with the world? Why can't anyone appreciate people who do something productive unlike Paris Hilton?

I read an article that shows Daniel Radcliffe "doing drugs". A 20 year old guy doing drugs. How many of you people in the world, knows someone who was doing drugs who is 20 years old, younger or older? Isn't this "normal" for people to be curious? Or is it just a hushed subject to talk about? Is drugs, a hushed subject if you do it, like being homosexual/transgendered/bisexual/etc? Is it really "wrong" to do it? Do you have any morals of doing drugs? Aren't we all doing drugs in a way? Medical drugs for health or drugs that you just do it for fun or for curiousty.

Where the hell is the normal people in the world? Am I the only one in the world that thinks that the world is crashing down to the ground because they are spinning out of control because their meaning of "normal" isn't right? Everyone is driving me nuts. Do you think so?

Procastination on NaNoWriMo isn't gopod for your NaNoWriMo Health

As I was thinking after my 25k or so words that I have to catch up to NaNoWriMo standards, I was thinking about "What is a good NaNoWriMo writer?" "How can a perfect NaNoWriMo writer can juggle reality with the 50k words set in a month?" "Does the writer even have a real life outside the 50k word boarder?" "Where does this perfect NaNoWriMo writer live?". I have thought and have come out of the conclusion, a few ridiculous answers.

1. The perfect writer doesn't have any social life in November.
Conclusion: The perfect NaNoWriMo writer, somewhere in the world, has a hybernation in the month of November, so he/she can write 50k in a month, WITH THEIR EYES CLOSED!

2. The perfect writer has two brains, one of the north hemisphere and one in the south.
Conclusion: The perfect NaNoWriMo writer could be like the English Empire, "The sun never sets in the English Empire". (Note to self: Disaproves that Australia is still apart of the English Empire, in a way)

3. The perfect writer is just typing "DoomAngelKitty is awesome" over and over again.
Conclusion: The writer could be cheating and writing rubbish (or perfectly good answer of "DoomAngelKitty is awesome") over and over again to make to the 50k word mark. Therefore, this writer is not perfect but a lying, cheating Son of a Banshee (see Wizard Swears).

4. The perfect writer has drank cofee/tea/Coke/V/Red Bull or some energy drink to write continuesly until she/he finished 50k words.
Conclusion: It's the scientific fact that your energy drink can motivate you.

5. The writer has no procastionation in their system.
Conclusion: Therefore the writer has no Facebook, Bebo, YouTube, Myspace in their systems.

5 good answers to my questions. Are you, the NaNo writer are any of these 5 answers? Or all five? I'm sure, I am never the 5 (unless it calls in desperate measures). I mean seriously, why would in 16 days, I have to cheat? I would admit deafeat gracefully and try again next year. No procastionation, no nothing.

NaNoWriMo is my abuse same with other things in my life

Word Count: 2,280
Daily "Left": 7,727
Total "Left": 47,720

NaNoWriMo has been annoying me. Abusing my time manegment and my social life. I've a History assessment due on Thursday and my sister is pretty much claiming the only internet object in the house to do her assessment which is due on Monday. Whatever happened to time manegment? Is it dead already or we all lost it?

Back to NaNoWriMo. I've introduced to a lot of people to why on earth I'm writing in my spare time. 50,000 words in a month. They think it's impossible. I think it is possible and also my abuse at the same time. Year nine doesn't like NaNoWriMo what so ever. The play is drawing near and I have to deal with learning lines and NaNoWriMo. Lucky next year I don't have to deal with the Year 7/8/9 play, but the Year 10 Certificate (THAT will be interesting. Studying and NaNoWriMo at the same time).

History excursion was HELL! We didn't learn anything Historical about World War One and nothing Geographical. So now I have to do an assessment about it. I don't have a printer at home (because it doesn't like my sister's laptop) and the printing thing at school takes YONKES to set up and print. WHY CAN'T IT BE SIMPLE?!?

Again, with the History Assessment, I might either have to either write a note saying can I send the assessment by email or can I write it hand out (that will be hard due to I have phtos on a digital camera). HOPEFULLY it will work out. When I say hopefully, I mean praying to the gods. Going to a school that prizes marks is not hevean, at all. More like my abuse (contains everything I hate biting back, NaNoWriMo and everything about school work).

NaNoWriMo + Golden Compass + School juggling + Everything in between = Life

Word Count: 1,659
Left: 1,675
What's "left": 48,341

NaNoWriMo is very stressing. I gotten to 1,659 words and I'm failing miserably still. As like the ugg man said, "Me me no likely likey". I was looking at other people's word counts, they are like in the 10 thousands or 5+ thousands. I am really petrified for my innocence and my limitations compare to these people. Firstly, I have school. Secondly, I can stand long when I go on the competer (I can got for about two hours but after that, I can't stand it. Thirdly, homework and life. I still have a life. Fourthly, I go to bed at 9:30 pm. School is really hard to do it as well, me having to hang with friends in the hot spring's sun outside, SOCIALIZING! Also with homework and teachers getting scared when we go on excursions so they HAVE TO give us 50 million pages of homework.

I am reading the first book of the Golden Compass, Northen Lights. My friend was shocked that I haven't read the books. So now I am planing to read the books. Hopefully the books are better than the movies, for everyone's sake, including Dobby's.

School is hell man. Except for the part that ALL YEAR 7 STUDENTS ARE ON CAMP! Which is heaps good cause I don't have to see girls who wear 50 million layers of make up that makes them look like panda bears or racoons and wear their skirt like a piece of underwear. Canberra will be hard cause it's two hours or so driving there, whole day going to AIS and War Memorial and other places and staying the night there. I dunno what to do on the bus with writing since I get dizzy reading books or writing.

Procastination + School + NaNoWriMo + Library books + Canberra trip = One messy month/week

Word Count: 985
Daily "Left": 2,349
What's "left": 49,015

Procastination is the worst thing happening to me. I'm suppose to be doing the NaNoWriMo and it's going really, really badly. Since I'm using my sister's laptop and mine is getting fixed (seriously since I came back on the 14th Ocotber it's getting fixed for goodness how long) because of a broken battery pack. I WISH I HAD LONGER WITH NANOWRIMO! I WISH MY LAPTOP WASN'T GETTING FIXED! -stops off- Seriously, why the heck does it have to break now, especially in November of all months.

School is getting really, really, irriating. Who wouldn't agree? No matter what year of High School, you think school is irrating. Going to school from 8:45 am till 3:20 pm (6 hrs 35 minutes). Before school waking up at 6:30am leaving home at 7:30am to catch a bus 1km or so away (10 min walk) and waiting for 20minutes. Then after school, waiting for half an hour for your bus, then have a 45 minute bus trip. NOT GOOD AT ALL!

NaNoWriMo, like I said, I need have less procastination. My plan is I put my story onto my iPod Nano (if you are wondering, I have a 4th generation Green iPod nano) and write my story on a piece of paper then once I get home I type up the story I wrote and update my word count. Has anyone thought of that idea? For all you High Schoolers (or Middle Schoolers) or University students thought of putting their story on their iPods and writing it on a piece of paper like my idea?

While I have NaNoWriMo to worry about, I have borrowed two library books. New Moon by Stephanie Meyer and this other book. Trust me, as since I am anti-Twilighter I don't know why I am reading this saga. IT'S LIKE CHILD ABUSE! SERIOUSLY! NO KIDDING WHAT SO EVER! I'm going to finish the saga, and if I am up to the point of burning the books (in the memory of the trees who made them), I will. No lie.

Canberra is this Thursday and Friday. I am so bringing two bags (one full of clothes, even though they are over night) and the other is just my day pack. I did for my Art Camp (which was overnight and it took FOREVER to get to Nowra) and I survived. I am doing my whole iPod + NaNoWriMo thing so I won't fall behind.

Happy: Canberra trip
Sad: Maths homework and too much procastination

NaNoWriMo = One destressed girl

Word Count: 707
Left: 49,293
Today's 'left': 960

I am very destressed with NaNoWriMo this year. Why?
a) I am up to a scene where it's the next village over and I completely rushed it. Keep it mind it's the first chapter....
b) I'm going to rush this book just to get to 50,000 words. Well, I want a non-rushed novel and want to complete 50,000 words. -dies in destressed-

Well, I'm suppose to get 1,666 (or 1,667) words per day for NaNoWriMo and it doesn't look very well. I am not coping with my story line and my characters aren't really developing yet as I would like to. 1,021 words and it's 3:06 pm AEST (with Daylight saving). My sister is home and she has university work to do and I need also to print/finish my Geography report (due tomorrow). -sigh- What has this girl got to do?

I am watching videos on YouTube. Maybe that will help. Or reading... I seriously need to stop procastinating and get on with the whole novel writing. But Lauren's ukele singing is so tempting. It's making me smile and she has a fabulous singing voice (I am very jealous). I never seen the other fiveawesome girls sing, the mater of factly. Does anyone know if the other four girls have singing voices?

Happy: NaNoWriMo

Halloween + NaNoWriMo + Sun burn + Rock Esteidford + Canberra + Harry Potter + Basketball = Fun week

Halloween is starting in Australia today. I'll be dressing up as a Gothic Witch. Whenever I tell my friends via internet, I keep on typing "Gothic Vampire" but as soon as I saw I wrote 'Vampire' instead of 'Witch', I quickly backspaced and retyped 'Witch'. This automatically made me think that Australian people aren't a big fans of Halloween compare to Americans. Especially around my block. I only remember when I was aged between 6-8, very few people knocked on our door for Halloween. This made me feel really old whenever I thought back to the memory when I dressed up as a Witch or as one time, a Rock Star and trick or Treat. I was suppose to have a Halloween sleevover but none of my friends, who were invited, could make it.

NaNoWriMo is starting tomorrow. 50,000 words in a month, 1,666 words a day, one novel at the end of the journey.I'm already nervous. I was watching Hayley's video, when Halyey mentioned NaNoWriMo. 5 reasons why to join and do NaNoWriMo (not the actual title of Hayley's video). Anyone doing it for the first time? Any stories about you doing NaNo? When did you start NaNo? I started last year with the novel "Story of the Lost Girl" (something along those lines). Got up to 15k roughly. But I'm aiming to finish it.

Yesterday it was my last day/first day (I didn't turn up on the first day of Swim and Survive) Swim & Survive, plus my first and last time doing it. I didn't turn up in year 7 for it. It was TORTURE! Child abuse, seriously. My friend and I didn't turn up on the first day (let alone when we were in year 7), and all we did is 200m of survival strokes, saving each other by rope in the water, and about an hour or so jumping in the pool doing the same dive, over and over. It was really boring as! We didn't do the test about resusitation (thank goodness). At the end of the day (after I didn't go to Play Rehursal), I got sun burnt on my left shoulder. I thought I put sunscreen there, but I guess not. Well I learned my lesson.

Right now, I'm watching Rock Esteidford finals. This made me think about my school, how we never do these sort of stuff. We are a very relax school and the only major production that involved so many people did it, was last year. We did a musical from scences from previous plays from the past 90 years. Since it was the 90th Anniversry (we started in 1918). The musical had like over 100 people in it (majority were female with 20ish guys). I want my school to try and do this, involving everyone. But I guess not cause my school loves and admires good academic scores.

Canberra trip for the History/Geography excursion is on this Thursday and Friday. Great, two or so hours on a bus, full of students, in either my sports or my school uniform traveling to our national city, Canberra. I'm tempting to bring my DS, iPod, books, and pens/pencils/pencil case to keep me occupied. I am tempted to write blog entries to type it onto here. I have to leave school at 6am and coming back at school the next day at 8:30pm. I'll be missing glee.

Harry Potter dinner was under fire. A woman was selling tickets for a Harry Potter themed dinner when Warner Bros. sent her a letter saying that they will put a law suit if she didn't stop her Harry Potter themed dinner. Has this happened to anyone in a similar situation? Or do you know anyone who was in the same shoes as this lady? Article.

Basketball this week was fun this week. Apart from playing with a sun burnt shoulder and had a bleeding toe, bruised right knee, court burned left knee and a bruised foot (a Pepsi Max can fell on my right bare foot, causing a massive bruise). we won Basketball (I scored a basket), 58-17. It was a really awesome game. I'm really sad that I won't turn up to the next game due to me being in another state/city.

Happy: Going to Canberra & NaNoWriMo

Cold Spring day with the touch of Facebook procastination and other spectacular things

It's suppose to be Spring, and hot because it's close to the summer season here in Australia but now it's decided to be all cold, miserable and wet. Maybe the Dementors are coming to get me because I joined the Facebook group "F*** Iraq, We have to catch Voldemort". Who knows? But I guess the miserable weather is forcing me to stop procastinating and finish the report for Geography (due 2nd November) and finish Maths homework.

Facebook has now changed. With the live feed, and the new features of the home page when you sign in, made me really confused and disliking Facebook even more (at the start, I liked Facebook but the new layout just kills it). What are yoour thoughts about it? Should it change back to the old layout? I heard none of my friends saying they liked the new layout and they are joining groups about changing the layout back to the old one.

NaNoWriMo starts less than a week for Australia (6 days, 11 hours and 57 minutes). I cannot wait, really, I cannot. Even though I'll be juggling homework, blogging, Vlogging on YouTube, and the play, it'll be interesting how I'll finish 50,000 words in a month. What are your plans to finish the book in a month? Are you juggling anything during November (e.g full or part time University/College, full/part time job etc)?

I saw Julie & Julia yesterday. May I say, it has inspired me to do something for the entire year. Like maybe finish the horrid Twilight Series or something else. Has anyone seen the film and has inspired to do something ove a period of a year? Any suggestions on what I should do for a year and not drop out?
