Now that I think of it... Gordon Butt could pass as my sassy gay friend.

biggest slap in the face

STOP FREAKING OUT AND JUST DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO.

In two hours it'll be July, half a year already gone.
August - Trials
Days left - 105days.
October - HSC.

There's a reality check.

clairvoyance

Title: just because. I like the way it sounds and it reminds me of Claire.

My dad insists that he can fill my hot water bottles without any mishaps. But every time he does so, he burns himself due to overfilling it and the cover is always a bit soaked. Then the soaked parts become cold and clearly defeats the purpose of a hot water bottle. I know he just doesn't want another repeat of my hand being burnt so he does it all for me :) aint that sweet. If you haven't got one already, I highly recommend that you get a hot water bottle for the upcoming(or rather, recent) cold winter days. You won't even need to use a heater! It's a glorious substitute for those times you need a nice warm cuddle and better yet, stays with you all night long.

Also, you can get cute covers for it such as these:

Random: Sometimes I stumble across channel Go! and I see The Bachelor or The Bachelorette on and I always wonder.... why arent' they married already? I mean, they're all relatively hot. Gorgeous young faces, nice sense of fashion, with amazingly smokin' bodies. But honestly I think the show is really, just for show. I bet they're all in it for an easy fling with 10 other people - with the assurance that they'll all be attractive and perfect. But who knows, they could be looking for love. :)

Best show ever. I love family-oriented shows and movies! This is sort of like a modern and funnier take on Everybody Loves Raymond. It literally gets me laughing out loud. Just the stuff they say, and how natural it is even as a mockumentary. Funny, interesting, and usually a heartfelt message left in the end. Watch it.
Arent' they the cutest? Fierce Buttercup, so fierce.

think straight

Here it is again, now Kim... make sure you get yourself in!
look at that beautiful..enticingly antiquely-structured piece of building, a piece of Hogwarts, a piece of which you fell in love with at first sight.
It's waiting for you.

@samsiv says: Do it for you. Once you’ve established that you really want it (high atar), that’s when you start working for it. Fuck the parents, fuck the friends, this is all you.

Just had a talk about HSC and uni with my mum. Yet again. She told me about a family friend who did a Diagnostic Radiography course for 3 years, come the prac session where she's met with broken bones and malnutrition... she fainted. She decided to leave that all behind and begin a Teaching course. What a waste, I say :( Which brings me back to a recent conversation I had with Peter. Like him, I'd like to keep my options open and look for other pathways. But to what extent..am I willing, to go through with it all? Those bigger and better careers, sounds goods, but not really me. I want something that I'm able to express myself, interact, share, have time to prance around, enjoy.

Bachelor of Education (Secondary: Humanities and Social Sciences)/Bachelor of Arts
yeah? yeah. :)

build a home, for you, for me



Out in the garden where we planted the seeds
There is a tree as old as me
Branches were sewn by the color of green
Ground had arose and passed it's knees

By the cracks of the skin I climbed to the top
I climbed the tree to see the world
When the gusts came around to blow me down
I held on as tightly as you held onto me
I held on as tightly as you held onto me.....

This song's been on repeat for me. It has this nostalgic vibe to it, but at the same time brings about a sense of hope. It sounds like a walk alone and you're reminded of certain things and you kind of think...where did it all go? As the strings and piano build up on a crescendo and everything feels okay, you're ready to take on anything. His voice is so soothing and at the same time I feel him reaching out to me, like he can understand everything I feel at the moment. Have a listen to it.

I'd like to lose myself in an orchestral experience. It's never too late to dust off my sheet music and classic books, lay my fingers on those black and white keys... is it?

Why I've been M.I.A. No reason really. I struggle enough with articulating the right words for an English essay let alone a public blog post. But I'll try getting into the swing of things again :)
