probably. Mika is genius.

long time no blog. yes.

thoughts from today;

that lady has disgusting teeth.
i want work to be over.
i want my pay.
today was supposed to be my day off.
i wish some decent music would come on.
latte for table 22.


pretty much that's it. i'm on holidays but working constantly. I'm buying a new tablet this weekend with my estimated $350.00 from work this week.
I really want my threadless tees to come.
I really want school to be over forever.
I really want to travel.


sigh.

Reading - The Song Of The Lioness Quartet, by Tamora Pierce
Listening - Life In Cartoon Motion by Mika
Boston by Boston
Is This It by The Strokes
So Jealous by Tegan and Sara
Funeral by Arcade Fire

it annoys me how no-one comments my journals.

Anyway,

check out my deviantART; I have alot more photos up now and they look rad.

lost by one vote in the weekly contest, again, which was frustrating and disappointing, but it's okay since I'm still way ahead anyway.

school's pretty busy, I need to cut back on my procrastinating because i have like 2 reports to write in the next few days and stuff. D:

I have a mediawatch assignment to do on Dr. Mohammed Haneef, the Australian resident who was suspected of involvement in the UK failed bombings but later released when the charges were dropped; their strongest point was "recklessly providing support for a terrorist organization".
And I have a maths assignment on the construction of roof trusses and stuff, and we have to draw scale diagarms and work out angles, discuss the construction process of a scaled newspaper truss and it's strengths and weaknesses and stuff.

then i have an art piece due soon; a set of experimental prints and a proper print pack. and i have an unseen english essay on wednesday.

wish me luck.
i think i might die with stress.

on another note, i got my ticket for the MUSE concert and my ticket for Tegan and Sara.

i haven't been posting blogs because;;

1] school's back. it's a short term, and short term + assignments = BIG DEADLINES. erk. I have a few coming up that are due, and guess who hasn't started?

2] deviantART. I got a subscription so I have been posting journals there often. So good.

I've ordered another two threadless tees, plus two deviantart prints. I'm really excited for them to arrive. I've also been drawing a fair bit... I want to do animation at university and I need to practise for portfolios and stuff.



yey.

I'm entering my school's photography competition... should be good. Need to get prints first. bleah.

tired. baiii.

It's true.

I've been listening to Boston's self titled nineteen-seventy-something release, and it's great. The record is in great condition.
I also have Journey's Escape, the West Side Story original soundtrack, and an...

original,

1967,

Beatles,

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band LP! Perfect condition! It was a great find.

I also have other things, like Soul compilations, Graceland, and some others.

/me sings, "We're Sargent Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band...."

*sigh* Everything is right with the world.

I also got Mayday Parade's first release, "A Lesson In Romantics" the other day. It is like, amazing. Panic! At the Disco done right, I think. Man, Panic are repetitive, but Mayday actually have varying styles in their songs.

Seeya dudes.

Reading: High Rhulain, Brian Jacques
Listening to: LPs, Mayday's CD.
Watching: Scrubs Season 5

The entire new rocket summer CD is up on their myspace.

I have to say. It's more than I expected. It's absolutely amazing.

Nothing more to say, except SIX DAYS UNTIL IT ARRIVES. WITH MY AUTOGRAPHED POSTER. WOO.

So I turned 16 yesterday. Eh. I mean, it's good to be 16, but yeah. Once you get past 14, birthdays aren't that great, anymore.
I recieved;

• Turntable (Record player)
• West Side Story record
• Inks for canvas art
• Brushes...
• A small hand-painted china lion figure
• A canvas.
• Some "Sexy Man" soap haha
• A threadless tee
• Mum's paying for the new rocket summer CD
• A book
• Eureka Seven volume 4

I went to the city and met up with my boyfriend, and his friend. We walked around, he bought me some really awesome tees, I bought a jacket for $30 (reduced from $150 :o), I bought Eureka Seven #5, and other stuff. IT was a good day.


I'm still having problems with the relationship, though. I don't know what it is, but somethings just making me very scared. He's like, perfect. He wants to take it slowly, he's sweet, intelligent, and all that. But I'm just dead scared about going out with him. I don't know whether it's because it's my first relationship, or anything. I don't know.

I'll work it out.

Listening To: Elliott Smith - Figure 8
Watching: Scrubs season 5
Reading: Alanna - The First Adventure by Tamora Pierce
Working on, art-wise: Some kind of canvas... and a new style for banners in photoshop. Some photos I need to upload.

With $160 from work last week, I boldly set forth into teh internetwebs to buy good stuff.

I ordered two threadless tees to add to my collection; one went through, one sold out before the order processed. I was a little disheartened, but I ordered another one with the refund money and the voucher they gave me with the refund. Yay.

Then I pre-ordered the new Rocket Summer album, Do You Feel, coming out on the 17th of July. Because I pre-ordered it before the 9th, it'll arrive on the 17th, so I'm very very happy.

A roll of film I took a few days back finally got developed at the chemist and I picked it up today, and fixed up about seven of them and submitted them to deviantART;

Toy Car
Seasons
Electricityscape
Tree
Mitch
A good office
Sidestreet

Check them out!

I got invited to a party on Sunday night. I hope Joel can come. (My boyfriend, fyi.) I'm seeing him this Saturday anyway, so yeah.

It's July. Which means;
6 Days until I'm 16.
9 Days until Mayday Parade's album comes out.
16 Days until the new Rocket Summer album.

I can't wait.

July is the best month of the year.

might actually start using this now.

work's been really busy. I'm working way too many hours, plus they rely on my brothers and I too much, because we're so "reliable". honestly, get some more ******* workers. they can't use us as an excuse to make us work huge shifts because they can't be ****ed to hire someone else. I'm on holidays. It's meant to be a break from school so I can relax, and recoup for school when it comes back. I've hardly been able to do that. I haven't seen my boyfriend in weeks, and I had to plead to even get ONE Saturday off. It's very unfair, and yeah.

I turn 16 in a week. Hoping for a turntable and some deviantart prints. HOPING.

I'm back at school now, and the classes are great. Like, right now, after I post this, i'm going to go watch "Goodbye Lenin" because I have a double free period.

I had double ancient history this morning, too. And I have art after this.
