felt it in my fists, in my feet, in the hollows of my eyelids

so i turned 18 a week and a day ago. i had a little sleepover and we watched twilight and wolf creek, which i've been wanting to watch for a while. it was a sort of revelation to autralian cinema and the horror genre.
the effect it's had on me is two-fold. i've reverted to the age of ten in that a) the crush i had on nathan phillips when he was in the saddle club is well and truly rekindled and b) i can no longer sleep without all my stuffed animals in my bed.

...

hasn't been the best weekend

and somethings are too painful to say outloud

and the arctic monkeys announce their 3rd album. that's why life is always good.

'cause there's a red under my bed

god, i am so relieved. i actually thought day light savings would get a yes. and a greens mp in the lower house! what a day. however, i'm very much concerned about harry cunningham (aka tom ward)'s hair in the new series of silent witness. it's atrocious. and i'm concerned that he and nikki won't be together. they really can't drag it out any longer. though i do quite like emelia fox as a brunette...

happiness hit her like a bullet in the back

i had an epic sleepover with my sister and her friend last night.
we watched the it crowd, brokeback mountain, st trinians and angus thongs and perfect snogging.
we ate sour skittles, chocolate, tiny teddies and nutella.
we drank orange & mango juice and rockstar.
we played give take share, never have i ever, would you rather and bed wed dead.
we snuck out at 2 am to wander the streets and get our pyjamas wet.
we went to bed at 5 am.

then i woke up, beautified and went for a shop. purchased: 2x leggings, earrings, red top, black shoes, the dark knight, school of rock and crystal castles. i've been waiting for that to get in for ages.

then you make this noise and it's a apparent it's all over

i'm downloading google earth. it's cheaper than travel. i just hope my start up disk will stop whinging about how full it is...

i can't help but play around for sure, i did it before

i want a new series of silent witness, damn it! they totally left us hanging on the harry/nikki storyline. i'm pretty sure the last episode was when she was kidnapped by those extreme environmentalists. but it was kind of hard to portray the desperation in his search for her since all he could really do was slowly and methodically examine dead bodies and foot prints. it's not really a profession that's cut out for romance. never mind, it's easter soon and we're going down south. it'll be nice to have a proper break somewhere cold.

ps what's with everyone deleting their blogs?

boy, someday you'll be a man

i broke my own rule about waiting until season 3 has finished before watching it and now i'm in the fucking waiting game again. at least i won't be so majorly spoiler'd all the time. though everything is so fucked up i can't believe it'll sort itself out before the end of the series. i'm hoping cook'll get hit by a bus, it did wonders for tony. and since i don't care what happens to him it'll undermine the cliff-hanger effect. jesus, tv actually does rule my life. can't wait for aleena's on saturday. i'm going to get fucked.

i've got nothing to lose with this request

so, whoops, i've dyed my hair red. it wasn't really accidental but i didn't really think it through. oh well, it looks ok. and i've got a bit more work, invigilating exams for dad two days next week. $15 an hour for dobbing on someone if they cheat. better than babysitting.

we take our fill, take our fill, take our fill

this is so pathetic. look how often i'm blogging! i need a life for fucks sake. instead i'm sitting at home, dreading work, reading entire books in a day and lamenting the fact that gossip girl and 90210 aren't coming back on until march. saddo.
in fact, the highlight of my week was bumping into steph and chelse. not so bad? it's really a highlight because it reassured me that, contrary to the events of my dream a few nights ago, chelse hasn't died in a freak yachting accident. if there were international awards for those least likely to yacht, she would have won it every year she's been alive. i'm actually insane.
and one last thing. why do i keep telling people that i'm going to uwa next year? it's a lie but as long as the possibility exists i should not speak of it. i'll jinx myself. note to self: it can never happen. don't let it.

there's a symphony in my heart

i really need a second job. to kill time if nothing else. does bondi vet piss anyone else off?

you don't know the pseudonyms i assume for you

despite the fact i only work 2 or 3 hrs a day, four days a week, it seems to have taken up all my time. it's too hot to do anything anyway.


have i posted this? i don't know who it's more embarrassing for.

i want my own dream so bad i'm gonna scream

off-chart behaviour

pretty nifty day today. em and i went to freo to stock up on british food for australia day tomorrow (no, we're not patriots) and we decided to duck into mills records on our way home because it's dingy and messy, like all good cd shops. anyway, we were just looking for the futureheads second album when, lo and behold, we came across the new franz ferdinand which isn't officially released until tomorrow! that was a find and a half. then i made a sponge cake.

you know, i think that before you sign up for a blog there should be some kind of aptitude test. i mean, does anyone actually want to read this shit? it's not funny or profound. oh well, it's not like we're going to run out of cyberspace anytime soon.
