today i finished reading lolita and started the french lieutenant's woman and brought what i think is the nicest dress ever.
i went to the rocks and looked in 'rokit' at crystals suggestion. its such an amazing shop, all glamorous and fifties and vintage. the lady who works there was telling me about this jazz band at a club in newtown, and everyone who goes to watch dresses up all fifties swinger style. wow! we have to go.

i went into work to hand in my letter of resignation, that i had handwritten yesterday, in between serving costumers. i didnt even get it out of my bag. my boss greeted me with: thank god you're here, sherelle just got fired so we'll need you to work five days a week till january.

bsvlwbfwbjfck why cant i say no?!

this year i want to make really pretty and creative christmas presents + cards for everyone. but even with masses of time on my hands im still lazy. but i really need to find something more productive than selling panadol five days a week to do.

even if i get the stupidly high uai i need (in about a weeks time !!!) i still want to take a year off. find a job i like, save my money then travel for six months. i've been inspired by ex year 12s. i ran into a few of them who have just returned from these amazing gap years. that would be so much more.. challenging i guess, than going to cofa in two months time.

anyway i have to cut my hair. my hair dresser cut it on wednesday and it i really dont like it so my mum offered to "fix it".
wish her luck!

last night i saw garden state with matt and it was so lovely. they kiss in the rain with simon and garfunkel playing in the background. that one moment was so perfect and faultless. it made me wish i had an awesome sound track accompanying my life, then maybe it'd seem more perfect.
ive been listening to alot of brilliant music recently.
i have never missed my ipod more than when i was on schoolies. for one week i listened to alexs r&b cd on repeat. i realised how dependant i am on my music.
but schoolies wasnt too bad, i met alot of nice people, but their mediocre nice-ness was out weighted by the masses of buttheads.
oh, and i turned 18 and got some great presents from people i love. and a 'fishbowl' full of alcohol from a bouncer.
today i brought my unicorn ticket and my kitten, ferdinand. he is quite the cutie.

i have to re-write four unit. i have to concentrate on my "fascination" with film noir and the femme fatale.
*blinks* my wha..?

most unproductive weekend ever. urge to ignore insanely huge amounts of homework and go see Harry Potter rising.
last night was good-ish. David and jack completed their mission, and we sat on the roof and finalized the list of top five best male haircuts at mosman high. and then established jacks painful similarity to craig nicholls.

i have run out of things to look forward to this weekend. i have already eaten the best sushi in the world. I would eat cat biscuits for a relatively small amount of money.

they should make a reality tv program about the hsc drama group pieces.
they could record it over the whole year, documenting the exasperastion felt at having to accommodate your ideas to suit three other people. And you would all see the stress and the all round bitchyness. everyone on the show would be complete drama queens and really melodramatic - "i cant work with these people! i just cant do it". Me, keshia, katie and lauren could star.

in other news....

i have watched about two hours straight of channel V.

now i have to go serve costumers in a dingy chemist and feel guilty about the lack of developments in a major works. i think ill call nick - he needs to be introduced to chai tea. and i need to put off everything in my life for at least a decade.

hail the thief kicks.

my msn is refusing to let me procrastinate -it keeps signing me out. so as a last resort i have to update with absolutely nothing to say in order to prevent me from starting work.

i think maria sufficintly documented the fun-ness that friday night involved. good times. amusing photos.

cant wait till blairs. im hoping the lack of costume will sort its self out. r we all up for the simple solution of short dress and high heels?

la la la.

i think i will go meet my cousin for chai tea and advice on the major work.

donut eating, money earning, coffee drinking, cd purchesing and window shopping for things i cant afford = my productive day off. life is good!

i am not a stoner... but my music choice begs to differ. download it maria; it can be ur theme song!

Total Exhaustion
*yelled in the teen girl quad voice

the end of the year has never felt further away. my year 12 jersey aside, there is actually little evidence that i am in year 12. The amount of work i am doing definatly doesnt support this crazy notion that im doing the hsc.

the exms dates seem soon. They will be starting before i know, and finish in what will feel like a million trillion years.

Ok Computer is the only alburm i can bear to listen to at the moment. Occupying my nights with sub-conciously memorising radiohead's wacked out lyrics.

"Ambition makes you look pretty ugly"

wow a direct parallel to my extension two text.
*blinks* Ok, bed.

i was happily working away at my day-late art essay, on the concluding paragraph. until i decided to get online to double check what one of the work im meant to be talking about actually looks like. And it wasnt good. I dont know what im thinking about, but Rauschbergs "broadcast" has no screen prints of president kenndy. and is completly void of astrnonauts.
Crap.
im not going to bother re-doing it. im just going to pray that my teacher doesnt have an extensive knowledge of this guys work. this is boring me to death. Do i really want to willingly sign myself up for a three year course of this crap?
anyway i have sucked into the virtual world of journals and msn and websurfing. ill be on for a while

and maria, or anyone else interested in street art for that matter-----> http://stencilrevolution.com

i have been putting of up-dating for a while, in an effect to prevent me from boring you to death as i recount insignificant aspects of my boring life.

uhm. everything has shifted slightly. nothing major, just making me rethink everything. i hate thinking too much. its so unecessary. and so un-me.

im waiting for everything to fall in to place again.
how long should i wait befor i give up?

on a lighter note:
the weekend. soon. and frees tomorrow, five of them. and little birdy album out soon. and kiribilli markets. and friday night. and my costume for blairs. and my jersy. and ...

:)

so. jack deceided to go and get a brilliantly creative art idea and leave me to fail alone.

*grumble grumble*

wow, i never knew one could get so bored of film noir. i have managed to churn out another 100 words for four unit. in about four hours. this is getting pathetic.

umm. How cool are the guys from tusbi? i am so dating one of them. right as we speak.

last night = random-ness

strawberry fields forever. [05 May 2004|10:55pm]

[ music | ben harper's "strawberry fields" ]

Light has been shed into the jack-situation.

phew, i was starting to worry. And over analysis. i guess it kinda makes sense now.

quotes collected, paragraphs outlined, and intro rewritten. now to memorise... wooo bring on the english assesment! (watch me still manage to fail)

i msged james (ex) with the intention of being mature and reconciling. or whatever. And he hasnt replyed! talk about holding a grudge.

My drama lessons are being spent learning how to twist sticks really, really fast. like the people at the front of marching bands. - no progress as of yet- Should i be worried on how this will relfect on my hsc..? hmm.

crystal. in germany for six months? but... *insert protests here*... ill miss you man!!

michelles party was fuuun. i have rekindled my love of Nirvana. yay, nineties angst.
we make the best singers/dancers/all round entertainers, ever.

wow. work load is increasing at a depressing speed. *sigh*

only four days to the weekend...
This week will fly by in a whirl of english assesments, and parent/teacher interviews, and crime fic short stories, and notes on japanese phesdo-single-families and a trip to the hospital in an attempt to right my uneven legs.

tell me something not related to school that will make me happy! it doesnt hav to be true even. just make it up!

oh and no one mention the words "art-major" in my presence. ever.

what an exhausting day. bed has never looked this good.

2 days back at school feels like a life time.

my pip idea has undergone a complete overhaul, thanks to an overly enthusiastic Ms Moes. All initial interest and motivation is now lost, indefinitely.

two minute noodles hav such a soothing effect on me. Im off to cuddle up in bed with a mug of them, and read my way through literally as much crime fiction as humanly possible.

nothing else of any interest to report... excluding my blind date with "pashme" or whatever his stupid name was. grrr. need...to get out...of it..asap!

sorry no deal stef
:P
