Not much has happened in the past week, hence why i haven't updated. We got an assignment in Studies of Religion today, and i think an English one is coming up, blah. I got 18/21 in my maths 'quiz' thing, which was past HSC questions so that's ok. I saw people around me who were in Advanced last year getting like 14-16. Thank God we're in hump week, means we're halfway through the term, or so i'm told. I really want to see Derailed and Hostel. Hostel is R18+ and nobody seems to want to see Derailed. I did have a copy of Derailed on my computer but i deleted it due to the quality. Looks like i'll be waiting until Hostel comes out on DVD, though. Since Channel 10 took Veronica Mars off the air, i've decided to start downloading it, which adds another TV show to the list of shows i (or Phillip) download. Alias is finishing this year, though. Hopefully Charmed does too, it's kind of getting old; not to mention the many many many plot holes.
Currently addicted to online Scrabble, as is Tommy i think. As for Danniel, when will he ever finish a game? The day i sprout wings from my ass and fly up someone's nose.

Today was an interesting day, yet boring at times (i.e. the mass). I had my piano performance for music on Monday, it went alright, not my best -- which is expected seeing as its a work in progress. We have to do another performance at the end of the term, i'm thinking of doing Everytime on piano, the sheet music doesn't look that hard. I've never taught myself a piece before, though, and i can't see Chris teaching me it. I would print it out and see if i can play, but i don't want to waste ink lol, i think my cartridge is low.
In legal studies, Ms. Curis told us that there was an essay writing competition run by UNSW. This year is the first one, and the prize is $500. The question is: 'do you think Australia needs a bill of rights?' (or something along those lines). I'm actually thinking of doing it, think of what i could do with that money, replace my ink cartdridge first off lol. I was actually suprised that Danniel's reaction to the whole thing was along the lines of 'meh, it's only $500 - big whoop.' I don't know what he did in his past life but it must've been fucking good, cos God knows he's done nothing in his present life that is deserving of what he has. Remember, modesty is a good thing.
On the way home, some bus inspectors got on the 667 and demanded that we give them our passes. They then checked to see if we had clipped then when we got on, almost nobody did (thankfully i had, i'd learnt my lesson from last time). Sure, check to see if we have our passes, but asking to see photo ID to get back our passes that we had given them, a bit over the top? Not to mention their aggressiveness, it seemed like they were searching for drugs or something.

Well this morning i woke up, pumped to see Date Movie. I turned my computer on and my grandma said to me, "If you don't get a job soon, then i'm going to have cut Foxtel off". The words empty threat immediately came to mind, as she watches Foxtel too. Then she said, i'm going to ring Foxtel soon and tell them to come uninstall it, how much will it cost? Then i thought she was serious; and she started going on about all of this me not getting a job shit. And she said, if i don't get a job soon, then piano lessons will have to stop too. I turned to bitch mode and just walked out of the house, as i was supposed to be going to Date Movie soon anyway. When i came home, i asked her when she was cutting Foxtel off, and she said tomorrow. Then i gave this whole speech about how we watch all our tv through it, and how it gives a clearer picture and that $70 a month is a small price to pay for the amount we use it. She then said she'd think about, and we're still at that. She thinks i'm not really trying to get a job. She says that if i don't 'pick up my game' in a week then she's going to cut it off. And she says half the reason she's cutting it off is because i didn't talk her since she didn't give me money for lunch today, talk about cutting off the nose to spite the face. I then asked her about my student allowance that i would be getting when i turn 16, i said that most people get $200-$250 a fortnight (no, i'm not making up facts, i looked on the website), which is enough to pay for my piano lesson and school fees each week, and in theory, that's what she wants me to do when i get a job. She said she wanted me to have a job as well, to get me used to the workforce. Remembering that if i work, my student allowance gets reduced; it just doesn't make sense to me why she wants me to have a job. She's acting as though all i do is sit around the the house all day, i do go to fucking school you know. I'm 15, it's not my mother fucking reponsibility to pay for everything. It's not my fault that my mum fucked off to Malaysia, hassle her to get a job and pay for things, why hassle me? Then Aunty Ngaire butts in and says that she thinks everyone my age should have a job, due to the fact that all her children did. Well excuse fucking me, we are not in the 30s, school isn't consisted of hiding in a bomb shelter.
And i couldn't help but feel like shit when, on The Biggest Loser, one of the contestant's mums was asked if she would miss her son and she responded by saying, 'what kind of question is it to ask a mother if she'll miss her son?'
Date Movie - not that good (6/10)

I still really have nothing to post about, but it would be very contradictory of me to tell Danniel to update and not update myself. Today has been shit boring. Tomorrow i'm going to see Date Movie, even though it's gotten bad reviews. And i have to get Lee's album and the new issue of Who Magazine, since Britney is on the cover. Danniel is supposed to come tomorrow, but i don't know what's going on there. Ms. Webster seems to like giving 'assignments', even though she gives us a lot of class time to do them. Maths is getting more challenging, and the homework load has pretty much stayed the same since the first day (around 20mins a night). Although, Danniel and Tommy seem to get a hell of a lot more. Ms. Curis is easily manipulated, so we don't usually get homework from Legal Studies.
My grandma's back has 'given in', so today, i did the washing, hung it out and am going to put it away. I did the shopping and i cleaned the bath. And then when i ask her for $10 to have lunch with my friends, she says no. She can clean the fucking bath herself next time.

School is getting boring now. I don't really have anything to type about, so let's start with Danniel.
Danniel says he is not a snob, but eats caviar. I think we can safely say Danniel is the only person at Marcellin who eats caviar. Why anyone would eat fish eggs anyway is beyond me. Danniel is also very contradictory, he says chicken chippees are full of shit, and what did Danniel eat for nearly every day of his primary school life? Chicken chippees of course. He also complains that sausage rolls are full of meat scraps, do i even have to say what Danniel ate at the pool in the holidays? And everytime we have a bbq at school, Danniel quickly lines up for his sausage. And yes Danniel, my mum is vegetarian, this means she doesn't eat meat, so she made a vegetable lasagne. You make it sound like she put peas in with the mince, er no.
Then Danniel says the food he eats isn't out of the normal price range, then tells me he eats caviar. And yes Danniel, when you have to explain what a food is, it's fancy. And no, i didn't have a plain bread roll because i am lazy, because my grandma makes my sandwiches, i had a plain bread roll because i like them, just like you like caviar; it's just that my taste is less expensive. And calling us lazy for not having the same meals you have is just idiotic, it's not like we make our own dinners. And i am not going to get my grandma out of bed at 7am to make me bacon and eggs.
Danniel also claims that me and Phillip are pigs, yet most mornings, has some cooked breakfast at home, then comes to school, has a 600mL carton of chocolate milk and a ham and cheese roll (which he said was disgusting a couple of years ago).
And it's funny how when we mention a meal that you haven't heard of (i.e. bubble and squeak) you instantly say it's slobbish. Yet you get angry when you mention a meal we haven't heard of and call you snobbish. And yes, in England they have bacon and eggs for tea, my grandma is English you know. Sorry she isn't from Urugay.
So, in conclusion, i don't usully bag people out on this blog, as Danniel does as a need for attention, but this time i felt i had to, as at school he doesn't give me time to think and just screams 'no comeback' to my face.
...and for the record Danniel, mince and mashed potatoes is usually called shepherds pie. Eg. "A Shepherd's Pie is a hearty casserole dish made with either ground beef or leftover meat (lamb or beef) mixed with gravy or soup, vegetables, and topped with mashed potatoes." Try it one day, it's nice.

Ugh, school tomorrow. I'm so over it, you can just tell that assignments are coming, since we haven't had any yet. Anyway, it turns out my motherboard in my CPU was totally screwed, and that cost $270 to replace, so like, now i'm poor. Not that i wasn't before. My grandma is pushing me to get a job more than ever but like, can't be fucked. Hopefully my mum's loan comes through soon in Malaysia, cos she owes my grandma $2000. She said the latest it'll come through is the 24th of February, so...
My C drive got reformatted so i lost everything, still trying to recover. Currently downloading Norton Internet Security 2006 (fucking 300mb), as the 2005 one i just installed last night says it expires in two weeks. I think it's funny that mine and Phillip's computer both stuffed at the same time.
...I don't think i'll be getting pocket money for a while.

Well last night, something very bad happened. I was innocently surfing the web when my monitor went black, so i restarted my computer and it worked fine, around 20 mins later the same thing happened. I restarted and my computer made a beeping noise. This happened back in the holidays once but it worked fine after 5 mins. So i started worrying. Then after around half an hour i tried again, and when i turned it on the monitor just went black, this also happened before in 2003 (something to do with power). Then, later on when i turned it on, everything loaded fine, then a message came up saying 'Error loading operating system'. I was on the virge of tears. This error happened everytime i restarted, i even adjusted sme plugs in the CPU. Then, when i tried again later, the same thing happened as before (black monitor thing). No progress was made, and when i tried again this morning the same happened. So when i got home from school, i took my CPU to the electronics shop across the road. He seemed to think there wasn't enough room in my CPU for the hot air to come out, for all the dust, and that this would be easy to fix. He said he'd call me tomorrow. However, the operating system message is still at the back of my head, what if my C drive was fried? Or, maybe i just knocked a plug when i opened the CPU. I really don't know, and my stomach is in a knot. If we had money, it'd be fine, but the fact is, we don't. My grandma said that if it's in the $100s, that she won't be able to pay for it to get repaired. I just don't know, hopefully all it needs is a reformatting, which i'm fine with, since most of my music and files is on my other hard drive. And school work for 8, 9 and 10 isn't need now. But, i seriously can't stop thinking about it, my stomach is going around in circles and i don't even have an apetite. Now i'm using my shitty slow comp that i got in 1998, it keeps fucking freezing, i just can't wait for the call tomorrow, will it be bad news or good news? As much as i hate praying, i'm actually doing it. My computer is my escape, who would know what could happen if i didn't have that. Anyway, i rushed this because Veronica Mars is about to start.
And now it's 10pm cos my post didn't publish before so blah.

I'm finally getting used to the whole school, no free time thing. Though i must admit, the [home]work load isn't getting heavier as such, as i had more homework on Thursday than i did today. I have trouble keeping up in Extension English and in Advanced English, Mrs. Webster sure likes to give us work. Music is still fun, for the pure fact that we virtually don't do a thing. Maths is horrifically easy, and doesn't seem to be getting harder. I still think it's quite amazing that in every class, everyone is silent for the teacher and almost nobody is disruptive. Maybe it's the sort of people i have in my classes, but others seem to agree with me.
I finally realised i'm too lazy to have a job while school's on, so i get home, and my grandma says, 'i'm going to see the manager of Franklins and Woolworths tomorrow to try and get you a job', oh joy. Now there's no 'yeah, i went to see them and they said they didn't have any positions open'. I just don't feel that's it my job to 'provide'. When you have a child, you're expected to provide for them, but what does my mum do? Fuck off to Malaysia, i remember the good times when she actually had a job and our finances were fine. So, this is how i see it, i'm here, in Australia, studying full time and i'm expected to hold a job after school and on weekends (the only free time i have), while my mum is supposedly in Malaysia 'starting a business' even though she doesn't have a working visa and it's illegal for her to work. And where's my dad in all this? Probably living it up, since he hasn't paid child support since November. I'm not ready to start taping my favourite tv shows every night, sorry. Wait, what time does Franklins close? I assume it closes arount 5, yes, there's so much time to work from the time i get home to the time they close. Well whatever, if i miss the Will & Grace marathons on Saturdays, someone's throat is gonna be slit. And may i just point out, i didn't quit KFC because i was lazy, i quit for the reasons i have previously mentioned, seeing as how in the holidays, all day is considered as free time.
While it would be nice having my own money, my Grandma said earlier tonight that she'd expect me to pay $20 of school fees a week, and pay for my piano lessons. So that's $80 a week, how much fucking money does she expect me to earn? I'll be left with what? 50c if i'm lucky.
On a lighter note, do you like my new template?
Oh, look what i found, another reason not to eat at KFC.

Just got home from the Swimming Carnival, which was extremely boring. At first, i thought they were going to make us swim, but turns out i was wrong, i just sat on the grass the whole day and talked to Phillip, but that got boring after i couldn't guess his words in I Spy. Even calling Danniel gay in the one word story got boring after a while. A Little More Personal (Raw) comes out some time this weekend, HMV says some time this weekend or at the latest Monday, Sanity says Monday and the Music Shop says they don't have it, this whole CD thing is starting to confusing me, why can't there just be one date =/
Thank God it's the weekend, and to add that, we don't have any homework this weekend, so it's all good. Well we do, but i did it all yesterday while Phillip was having his piano lesson.
Apparently we're running really low on money, but it's ok cos i still get pocket money to buy A Little More Personal =]
And could someone please explain to me what the fuck Mrs. Webster was on about yesterday in Extension English? She's nice and all but seriously, what the fuck?

The first day of fucking school was today. It wasn't too bad, not as bad as previous years, i remember getting homework in every period on the first day of last year. Today i only got about ten minutes worth of homework from Legal Studies. Business studies seems boring, maybe cos all he did was go through the syllabus, i don't know. Music seems fun, though. Yesterday, i went to Phillip's house to watch Boogeyman, it was so dumb, got to be the worst horror movie i have ever seen. Even Slash was better. I'd give it 1/10, and that's generous. I wouldn't even classify it as horror, but more into the category that Buffy is in, without the good writing and good acting obviously. I was bored on Monday, so i called Danniel over to play Monopoly, among other games, then Neighbours started so he had to go bye bye. I didn't know we didn't have to wear our blazers until March, so i foolishly wore it today, it was so fucking hot, i thought i was going to melt.
I was very excited when i got home, due to the fact that i found this out.
