I need the holidays to end. I'm sick of sitting in my house bored. Well, it's only been a couple of days of doing that, but still. As much as i hate doing actual work at school, i'm always happy, i get to see my friends etc. I'm not depressed like i was last holidays, but i anticipate it'll happen when my mum goes back. But thankfully by the time she goes back (in February or March, not quite sure yet), i'll be at school, so it'll help distract me.
This is why i hate not going to school, i just sit here, and think. I'm spending so much time thinking what it's going to be like when my mum goes back, when really, i should be just enjoying the time she's here. But hopefully going to the movies and going shopping with Alice next week will help; she's depressed because her boyfriend just broke up with her, and that's why, boys suck.
The idea of going to see Paris has been abandoned since nobody wants to come with me, great. I'm going to CityHunter on Thursday with Danniel and Tommy (don't know who else at this point) though.
Carlos and Alex are going to the fireworks tomorrow night. I want to go, but i don't really fancy the idea of catching the bus home alone at around one o'clock in the morning. So, i guess it'll just have to wait until next year.
I really need to start my assignments. I've started my Extension 2 Proposal, mostly because i became inspired/motivated after reading other people's ideas on BoredofStudies. I plan to continue it tomorrow, and finish it next week. Then, to start writing a story for Advanced English (i aim to knock this over in one day); after that, 'write' the essay component. Then to move on to Legal (want to knock this over in a couple of days, it seems easy). And then, about halfway into January (i assume), is time to start Extension 1, this seems like the hardest, so it can stay until last, i'm anticipating that it will take me around a week. And then i can spend the last week of the holidays knowing that i don't have four assignments to do. I feel this will be the only Christmas holiday where there's completely no fear about going back to school. You know what to expect, and nothing really changes. All i can say is, Tommy and I better have Ms. Webster for homeroom.

Christmas is over, and January just draws nearer. I should really start some assignments. I plan to start on Friday, but we all know that 'plan to' means jack shit. Good news is that my mum is now staying until at least February, but maybe even March.
Christmas day was alright, i only had four hours sleep the night before, i don't know why. But let's just say that playing Bejeweled right before you sleep is the worst thing you could ever possibly do, especially on Christmas Eve when the only thing you want to do is go to sleep. We went out to dinner at Star City, which is an eat-all-you-want restaurant. I haven't really been eating much lately, so i feel it wasn't worth thirty dollars, but the food was still nice.
Yesterday i went to see The Holiday, it's the first movie i've seen since the disastrous incident where i got kicked out of the cinema. It was a great movie, had a few good laughs too; you're just more inclined to laugh when the whole cinema is laughing as well. There were a few kids playing with their phones and whispering, and some old people in my row became furious, it was quite funny actually, my mum and i were laughing. The cinema was completely packed, which is expected for Boxing Day, some people didn't even end up sitting together (thank God we got there early).
Next week i think i'm going to CityHunter, and i'm going to the movies with Alice. But also, Yvonne gets back from her Xmas 'holiday', which means Edwin can come over and play Wii with me. You'd think an eight year old would be shit at video games, but once he'd been playing Xbox for about half an hour last time he was here, he was nearly beating me.
Which brings me to my Christmas presents. The Wii is great. I got stuck with Zelda on the first level, which just shows how much of a true gamer i actually am. Wii Sports and Wii Play are fun, but playing with my mum is getting old now, thankfully Danniel and Phillip are coming over tomorrow. Throw in a pair of oversized sunnies and my Christmas is set.
Paris arrives in Sydney tomorrow. Apparently she's attending a ceremony at Bondi's Icebergs Club on Monday at 1pm. I'll be there. Maybe me singing Turn You On at the top of my lungs will grab her attention.
In Her Shoes is an amazing movie. See it.

First off, yet again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY PHILLIP =o) (for yesterday)
To celebrate Phillip's birthday, me, him, Danniel, Carlos, and Alex went to City Hunter. I expected an enjoyable day, and that's indeed what I got, but i'm not sure that's what Phillip got. We started to play DotA, and he wasn't very good, as is expected for a noob. But, since he kept dying, i think he got discouraged by the about the third or fourth game. In the end, he just said he had a headache and opted to go home - Danniel and I stayed, but just to finish our game. It doesn't seem like Phillip is too resilient when it comes to gaming. Gotta feel sorry for him, it was his birthday after all.
Today, more bludging was done. I am fifteen pages into Brave New World. I'll probably just finish that through the holidays, and read Dune during school time. I'm determined to watch Bladerunner and Frontline though.
Not long until Christmas now! I tell you, this Wii better be the best god damn thing i've ever played in my life, because all of this waiting is killing me.
I was planning to go to Eastgardens and buy Paris' new perfume for my mum tomorrow, but it turns out i'm going to Phillip's house instead, to play his two new PS2 games that he got for his birthday, so i guess i'll just go and get it on Saturday. As it turns out, my mum is going that day too to buy ALL of her presents (leaving it to the last minute of course), so i'm going in the morning and she's going in the afternoon.

Give me some credit, i started with this.
I forgot to say this in my previous post, but i have suddenly developed a liking for Evanescence. Sure, i liked them before, but now i'm really into their albums, haven't stopped listening to them for about three days straight. I bought their new album the other day and i guess i'll buy their old one sooner or later, it's only around $10 now - I knew i shouldn't have sold it. I wanted to go see them, but only shit seats are left, and nobody wants to go - so fuck that. Can't wait until Beyonce comes, and me Carlos go, though. Oh, and by the way, it's obvious that by Evanescence i mean Amy Lee.

First off, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOMMY =o)
It's been a pretty boring couple of days. Done nothing really, except bludge around the house. I finally watched The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, well actually, i had to watch half yesterday and half today because i hate it and it's just that boring - there's no way i'd be able to watch it all in one go.
I've decided not to start any assignments until January, and then roughly do around one every week. But, until then, i'm hoping to get a good deal through all of the set texts, which is a couple of movies and a couple of books.
And today it's off to Aldi, since my Grandma wants to do all our shopping for a month. What the fuck is she smoking?
Tomorrow's Phillip's birthday, i think we're going out, not sure though, Phillip might of made plans or something (it wouldn't be unlike him). And i don't know where we're going, since we planned to go to the pool and it's forecasted to rain, and there's nothing on at the cinema. I'll just ask him if we can go to CityHunter or something, seeing as he's never been.

So the holidays have started. Freedom at last. Thursday it was off to CityHunter, pretty fun if i do say so myself. We finally found other games, GTI racing is orgasmic in terms of fun factor. You know by fun i mean laughing at Danniel because he's so shit. CityHunter is really only made fun by Danniel's shitness at everything (but DotA in particular), and him whinging all of the time because Tommy beats us, and Danniel just can't admit that Tommy's a thousand times better than us, instead he likes to place his blame on the items Tommy buys (which he can buy as well?)
On Friday i dyed my hair, just blonde scattered foils. Looks alright. It could be more outrageous. Next year i am so bleaching it.
And today, even though we were meant to go to Carols in the Domain, we decided not to because of the weather. We did go to Waverley Library in the morning, with the Extension English class, though. It's not that good, i only managed to find one book on Queer Theory. But i did loan The Da Vinci Code, i've been meaning to read that. And since we didn't go to the Carols, we went to CityHunter instead. This time it wasn't so good, half the games didn't work, and i think we moved into the $2.50/hr section halfway through by accident (it's usually $2/hr), and it ended up costing way more than it should've - especially since we spent at least an hour looking for a computer that worked.
And tomorrow it's time to do some Xmas shopping. Gotta buy my Grandma Damien Leith's CD, since i realised $120 is way too much money to spend on one person. And i gotta buy Brooke an Xmas present, as well as the other Brooke a Birthday present. But i'm still planning to buy my mum Paris' perfume, the week after though (probably on Xmas eve), because i won't have enough money until then. And tomorrow night we are going to see the Xmas lights around the general area with Yvonne and Edwin (which means i sit in the car with my iPod on).

Well we went shopping for Xmas trees yesterday; we came back with nothing of the sort. The only white Xmas treet they had was in David Jones for two hundred dollars. So, my mum and I are going to Christmas Cave or whatever on Thursday night to see if they have a cheaper one; if not, we're just going back to David Jones to get that one.
This week i'll have enough money to buy my Grandma the In Control: Curious box set, and the weekend after i'll have enough money to buy my mum Paris' Heiress fragrance (sadly i won't be able to use that, as she'll fuck off to Malaysia with it).
Today i volunteered to stay back after school to give my Advanced English speech, figuring it would be less nerve-wracking in front of fewer people, turns out it was still pretty nerve-wracking. I think it went alright though, except for the fact that i had around three palm cards left, and my six minutes was up (damn).
And it looks like i won't be performing Toxic for my Music core performance, simply because, even though i don't care about getting a good mark, Mr. Martin does, so might as well choose a piece that will mark better, at least for his sake. I'm doing at least one of my viva voces on Britney songs though, comparing three of her songs written by different people, according to the concepts of music. Finally, an assignment that i'll actually put effort into, considering the subject matter.
A good start to the HSC year, 18/20 for my Business report - ranked second.

So, yes, my Wii got picked up yesterday. Sure, i'm not allowed to use it until Xmas, but that doesn't mean i can't sneak a look at it (or so i thought). I've come to the conclusion that it's not in this house, and that my Grandma has given it to one of our neighbours to hide until Xmas; because, after an hour of searching, you just can't search anymore, especially in such a small unit like mine. I expected to find it in the first five minutes, looks like my Grandma is smarter than i give her credit for. All i wanted was a peek.
I just finished watching Brokeback Mountain again, i think it's safe to say i actually got it this time. Last time i don't know what was going on. But this time i couldn't help but shed a tear. I must say, the subtitles help greatly, who knows what the fuck people were saying when i saw it in the cinema.
Tomorrow is Xmas tree shopping time. I thought i was over having Xmas trees/decorations, but when my Grandma offered, i couldn't help but agree. I want a white one, so we're going to Eastgardens tomorrow to see what we can get. Oh, and i need to buy some new shorts woo.
I'm going to dye my hair this Thursday, i think. I've decided i'll just get platinum blonde streaks, that'll look better. And then on Saturday it's off to Carols in the Domain, that'll be fun, i haven't been in ages. I just like holding the candle.

Oh, yes, when i said yesterday that there were four days left, i actually meant five. But today, i can say in confidence that there is only four days of scool left, thank God.
Ah, my Wii is getting picked up tomorrow, can anyone say FUCK ME DEAD. Now just two or so weeks to wait to actually get it.

Four more days, and i am free. Seriously, i'm over it. I would elaborate, but we all know what happened last time somebody elaborated.
Tonight was the 'Annual Yearly Music Concert' (if that's even what it's called). We (Year 11s) did our infamous Backstreet Boys performance, which we did a couple of weeks ago at the prizegiving night. This time round, nobody was really that enthused, and not many people found it funny, more entertaining (i hope). Sadly, nobody informed me that we had to stay back after school until the concert started (at 7pm). Mr. Martin said we could go home, but that we'd have to be back by 5pm, i knew i'd be pushing it to get back that early, so i just stayed at school. I had to buy a new singlet, because i didn't bring mine (assuming that i'd get to go home); and i had to buy dinner, after i promised myself i would spend nothing so i would have enough money to buy my Grandma an Xmas present. So you just know how happy i am about wasting twenty dollars. Shutup Phillip, you're rich.
I must say, the night didn't go as boring as i thought (all due to Ms. Webster being in the movie which was made to cover up the breaks between the performances).
I still haven't done my English speech, i think i'll just volunteer on Friday, but it looks lik there are so many volunteers that i might not even be able to do it on Friday (looks like everybody wants to get it over and done with).
Is it really that hard to set a VCR to record? I was literally on the phone to my Grandma for at least forty minutes, trying to walk her through setting the VCR to record Neighbours and Australian Princess. Finally, she got there.
Yes, it's been a long day. No, i'm not in a good mood.

Well finally, i've finished my English assignment. It's not that bad, but i'll still get a bad mark, because i'll just read off of my palm cards and i will hardly look up. But oh well, there's nothing i can do about that, i can't look up, i get nervous and i start to get sweaty and my eyes start to water and then i can hardly read the freakin' words on my cards, so we don't want that to happen. So that's it, no more assessments until next year, oh, except that Maths test, but does that really count?
Shortest Blog Post. Ever.

As it seems, i am alone no more, Tommy has decided to reopen his blog. I thought, after what happened, his blog would never again see the light of day, i guess i was wrong.
Today, we had a day off because we earned enough money for the walkathon, which was great. Gave me some time to work on assignments (which i ended up doing none of, who saw that coming?). I did manage to finally read The Handmaid's Tale and finish off some weekend homework, though. So, i guess it's just the English assignment to do this weekend, and i'm already around half way through, so there isn't too much to worry about. I was playing my Xbox today, something i don't do often, mostly because i haven't bought a new game in around two years, it's quite addictive, i seem to have forgotten. If that's addictive, i can't wait to see how addictive the Wii is.
My friend was telling me about how he just came out (he's eighteen), and his dad told him to move out, and his brother won't talk to him. I always thought that people like that were from the past. I never realised how lucky i was in terms of that, even though my Grandma doesn't know, i can't see her kicking me out, she's just not that type of person.
It's starting to kick in that my mum is going back to Malaysia in a month, and i probably won't see her for another year or so, i try not to think about it. And hopefully this time it won't hit me as hard, since she's been here for longer (as opposed to last time, where she was only here for a week). I guess i'll just have to prepare myself. Hopefully my materialism will come into play to help me, although that didn't quite work last time.
