When your sister does something you've already done...
Except better.
Such as go to an orientation night for high school.
& come back telling you how great it was,
how excited she is,
& how much she already loves that school.
It feels...
Strangely dispiriting?
disheartening?
depressing?
I suppose it feels,
strange.
ZOMG. Have youse seen the new, new moon trailer? It's so awesomely awesome. There's more action and suspense in it. The director looks like he's done a good job with it - I can't wait =D My only regret is that he didn't get to do the first one. That first one was a pitiful excuse for a film. PITIFUL I TELL YOU.
In answer to Anita's question, yes, I still blog :) even though it seems like no one else does...
I'm so proud of myself. I did FOUR of those science assignment thingos today without a break in between. ^^ So proud of myself for not getting sidetracked. I did play some point & click games and dressupgames at the beginning but... that's beside the point.
There's not much to say about school. Umm... in science, our paper mache star was such a FAIL that poor juliana had to do it all again at home. But she said she didn't mind so yeh. Seriously though, our first one looked like something that got run over, pushed back into shape and then jabbed 100 times by some vicious bird. LOL.
My sister's been doing many performances lately. Tonight, she danced at the Gillawarna Festival or some shit like that and my dad recorded the whole show. Guess what song the choir sang? Under the Southern Skies- Nikki Webster :L Brings back memories, doesn't it nanc? *wink wink nudge nudge*
What else did I do at school? Erm.. me, hannah and tian made a halfish-singing group at recess and we sang (atrociously) any of the lame songs we could come up with. In maths, I had the quadratic equation song stuck in my head. I bludged in english cuz I finished english rules (H) and yes I realise none of youse want to hear about these insignificant little details of my life so I'll just stop here.
P.S. I hope people start blogging again... I have nothing to read when I'm bored :(
LOL, what happened to blogging? Did it suddenly die off and become extinct? I was gonna blog yesterday but I used up my 70 GB. However, my net got renewed today so YAY! Back to draining it all by watching Bleach =D
On Friday night, I went to my sister's drama thingo. It was held at Campbelltown Art Gallery and me, tian and my family arrived at 7:30pm. Basically, it was many schools (high + primary) coming together and presenting a series of short acts. The show went on for approximately 2 hours with a 20 minute interval and my sister had three lines. Yes, you heard right, 3 lines. Ah wells, it was entertaining though. Those people are so FREAKIN' TALENTED. Especially the ones that came from Performing Arts High School.
Here's a rundown of some acts:
- One was about a girl who had insomnia. The whole act was about her staying awake at night. Sounds boring but it was entertaining, especially when she started going insane and talking to herself
- Another item was about a group of children/teens who sneak into a murderer's house while he's away. They're having lots of fun when suddenly, he comes back with a dead body. It kinda confused me but in the end, the children murdered him O_O
- My sister's one was called "The Jabben" and it was about little itsy bitsy monsters that evolved because of humans littering. Enough said.
- One was set in a hospital and there were cockroaches in someone's ear. Nice.
- The one I really really liked was the last one. I didn't really understand it but the acting was so AWESOME. It was by some performing arts high school. I think this group of weird scientists were experimenting on a robot human or something. They were trying to unravel the mysteries of human kind and their feelings, e.g. love. There was an agent called "Agent Gay" and he wore makeup and kept shouting, "OMG BRITNEY, BRITNEY!" LOLs.
There were many more acts but I can't be bothered describing them all. I've gotta go buy a new camera cuz my sis broke my old one at camp. I don't mind though, I'm gonna get a brand new one that doesn't take shitty quality photos =D
If you haven't read the first one "Hunger Games", I suggest you do straightaway, before it becomes a full on craze (like what happened with twilight). & I'm not lying when I say its really good. It's REALLY REALLY REALLY GOOD.

Nanc, I now understand why you were so scared about ppl falling through your roof. OMG the roof is SHAKING!! & the fat person who's standing up there keeps sneezing. My sister said that she was about to change clothes and then realised that there was a ladder near her window and a man was climbing up that ladder O_O
Today I went swimming with my sister and afterwards, we bought slushies and scallops. Haha I think we ate more than we excercised... I then went Livo and bought...
YAYAYAYAYAY! I've already read up to chapter 5 and its so goooooooood. (& sad as well). I nearly cried at pages 75 - 77. I'm trying to read the book slowly cuz I don't want it to end. lols. BTW othilia, nancy and bonnie, peeta is mine. Youse can all have Haymitch :)
At Coles, my dad was being his usual cheap self. You know how you can get like 4% off fuel if you spend 30 bucks or more at Coles? Well, my dad was splitting up all our groceries into 3 groups, each worth 30 bucks, and paying for them seperately so he could get more of those discounts. One group was only worth $28 and so he said to the checkout dude, "Can I add one more thing to this pile?" T_T His cheapness never fails to amaze me.
At the end of the day, he's only gonna be saving 3 x 0.4 x 50L. Which is basically, 6 bucks. Heh, might as well not go to all that trouble and put those Arnott biscuits back onto the shelf...
