STARDUST

Oh blog! I’m in a very good mood! I don’t know why. But I felt inspired to write something so I try to never let that moment pass. I really should read Gatsby tonight, but I don’t really feel like it.

Sometimes, I would like to read on the bus on the way to school/home time. I definitely would if the fools on the Annalong bus were not so savage and would refrain from throwing sausages, potato and many other Home Ec goods at the back of my head. Or if the little Primary School rats would shut their trashy mouth for two minutes. (In Primary School, I wouldn’t have been allowed to get a bus in my own! Actually, would I have even known how?)

Being a Prefect, you would think I should do something about this bad behaviour? Well, what is the point. Annalong students are the worst out of all the bus people, and shouting at them is exactly what they want so they could stir it up even more.

So I’ll just stick my earphones in like I do everyday and block out the many flaws in High School life. (And secretly mutter bad names under my breath.)

I’m looking forward to Saturday! I’m meeting my Uncle David (Deta, as we all call him) who lives in London. He’s over to visit us now but then is spending Christmas with his family. Ah! How I’ve missed him! He used to come down every Boxing Day when he lived in the same house as Uncle Gordon. I can’t wait to see him again. The snow better not ruin my plans.

I’m looking forward to Christmas! I don’t want anything in particular, I told my parents not to get me too much, because after all, I did get a car this year as well as so many trips and outings. I have a growing fear for Christmas too. That sounds really ridiculous, but I really don’t want to put weight on. I’m scared of putting on the weight I spent so long on losing. And it’s not going to be easy. Saturday 18th is Noelle’s birthday, which is a meal out. Sunday 19th we have our annual Burrendale meal which consists of delicious Turkey and Ham. Monday 20th is the S.U dinner, ANOTHER Christmas dinner. Then I think we can all guess what’s also on that week: Christmas parties= Junk Food, Christmas Eve= stuffing face with Quality Street, and the killer: Christmas Day. One more, we have a meal on Boxing Day due to more relatives arriving, so yeah I’m screwed!

I’m really getting back into using Last.fm again in school, when I’m working on I.C.T. I even got Noelle using it. Lately I’ve been listening to DBSK and JYJ loads, so it’s a really cool way of listening to more of their songs for free. Tumblr on the other hand, hasn’t been working this past week, and I’ve noticed a slight withdrawal symptom in me from not being able to reblog my favourite pictures. Sad, I know, but I love it!

Currently on the past snow days, I’ve been working on potential Portfolio work for my art interview. (D.V) It’s coming on well, but takes an awful lot of time. I don’t think my AS work is up to standards for this unit. It’s very annoying when it’s not up to standard, kinda makes me angry.

I just got an email through from Mr Harris: “UCAS sent” What does that mean? DOES THAT MEAN IT WASN’T SENT LAST MONDAY? oh no!

I was reading future posts that need to be posted. (Letters I have wrote, but because I’m posting them in order I can’t post them just yet) and saw A SPELLING MISTAKE. But it’s one I can’t alter because it’s in an image! It will make sense when it’s online. But aragh!

Did I tell you IRIS is over? Well it is. I wrote on Facebook the other night: “So that's the end of IRIS: I laughed, cried, shouted insanely and swooned. Definitely one of the best shows I've ever seen! Can't wait to see the movie version. :D” Which hit the nail on the head. It was so so good. I was far too emotional. They left a lot of blanks and gave us an ending that would making you cry out in despair, but are releasing a movie version of all 20 episodes which will hopefully put all the pieces together.

Mum, Jared and I decided to watch a film last night, it was this Kung-Fu/Western thing, wasn’t that good, but anyway, when we started it, Mum warned me “Now Claudia don’t take this in too much because I don’t want to encourage this sort of thing” Yeah Mum, because I have the hots for Jackie Chan.

Honestly! This is the same Mother who watched all 20 IRIS episodes with us and had favourite characters too! And the same Mother who stores a photo of fat-to-thin T.O.P in the treat cupboard to help her diet. Can’t say it works, but he’s there watching us...

My family is as crazy as I am.

And no, I still haven’t seen Harry Potter.

ADORABLE

After I came back from the gym this evening, I found on my name on my Blogger dashboard twice! Two different posts: here and more amusingly, here.

As you can see from these two posts, I’ve been helping people out with their enormous to-do lists by assembling them into tasks for each day, just making my friends more organised! Even Mary-Jane, yes, the world’s greatest procrastinator Mary-Jane, is still steadily following her planner! Unfortunately, I think by seeing everyone else work so hard, it’s making me lazy. I totally failed at reading Saragasso Sea today. Well, I hate reading in general. There is a thousand other things I’d prefer to do than read a book. I feel it’s a waste of time. Perhaps I’ll begin to enjoy it more when I’m not forced to read by English Lit teachers. I’ve hardly done anything worthwhile today actually.

I wish I was able to make money from using Tumblr.

I’ve become a committed Tumblr user lately. I remember opening the account and saying to myself ‘Pfft, I’ll hardly use this, how could anyone get addicted to reposting pictures?” And surely enough, 4 months later I now have 149 posts and counting...

Also I stumbled across Flickr today. It’s put me in the mood to do some photography. Dad got this impressive HD camera in Duty Free on his way to Africa so I may borrow it to take some photos. Then I can edit them and put them in my portfolio for University. Lately, I’ve included photos on my blog to make it more interesting to read and I think it makes it better presented too. So I could keep on doing that when I go to events and places to keep y’all engaged in my hectic and exciting life.

Harry Potter on Friday! Gosh I’m so excited!

* As I included pictures in this blog, I discovered a Tumblr blog with the most ADORABLE Korean children on it, ohhh! The photos are so beautiful!! I’m gonna steal a few. The photos I mean, not the kids...
