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.

Long blog #1

"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.

Reading: New Moon, The Book Theif, Dreaming of Amelia, and The Scribbled Notebooks.
Listening to: Starstruckk by 3OH!3 feat. Katy Perry
Looking Forward: More summer holidays
Not Looking forward: 1st February - school starts

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:

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

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.
