Katniss and Peeta - by ChiyoNemuri
- Read the whole Harry Potter series again. This time, IN THE RIGHT ORDER.
- Get a job so my parents will stop bugging me
- Do my history extension project - at least a quarter of it since our progress logs are gonna get checked at the beginning of Term 1
- GO TO MELBOURNE AND QUEENSLAND! We've bought the tickets already and will be going sometime near January the 8th XD
- Finish my holiday homework early so I don't need to bother about it near the end of the holidays.
- Have a sleepover at Tians' because she's got new floorboards.
- Have a movie marathon at Tians' because she's got a new TV.
- Have a party at Tians'.... just because we can.
- Make Nancy watch a barbie movie with us - easier said than done.
- And most importantly: learn French in preparation for next year's overseas trip.
To help with my last dot point, I will be posting all the French words/phrases on this blog so that I don't forget them. My sister will be helping me because she takes French and Japanese classes at school. I'm aiming at 3-4 sentences each week but we'll see. I remember learning a bit of French back in year 7 but I've already forgotten most (if not all) of it...
Forgive my spelling LOL. She taught me how to say these, but not how to write them.

Q: Tu t'appelles comment? (What is your name?)
A: Je m'appelle Cynthia. (My name is Cynthia)
Q: Tu habite ou? (Where do you live? Note: habite = habitat)
A: J'habite en (au?) Australie. (I live in Australia)
Oh dammit, she also taught me to how answer "What language do you speak?" but I've already forgotten...
I think I jinxed myself 4 posts ago.
Tutor class ended at 6pm today, the exact same time its been ending for the PAST YEAR. My dad didn't come pick me up until 6:32 pm. His excuse was "Oh, your mum forgot."And then when I asked why, he didn't say anything and, turned aggro on me and told me off for not bringing my phone.
This is the 7th time someone forgot to pick me up. If it happens again, I swear I'm calling the Child Neglect Hotline.
And I can't believe she's going to Presentation Day tomorrow. The person who told me that she doesn't really care what I come at school, forgets to pick me up from tutor and doesn't even give a shit what music lessons I take is going to come to the assembly tomorrow and act like a parent-who-cares. Well you know what? I'm going to act like the child-who-doesn't-know-who-you-are.
Why so serious?
"How 'bout a nice big ol' bear hug?"
"Hey look! I can shove the whole thing in my mouth!"
"Bravo, bravo."
"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a frog before?"
Even otters hold hands :)
Otter 1: OMG! What happened to you?
My plan for tomorrow:
- Wake up at 6am
- Get to Canley station before 7
- Take a train to Strathfield
- Switch to the Northern Line and take a train to Epping
- Switch to the underground line and take a train to Macquarie Uni
Sounds easy yeh?
- Stay for the lectures until about 1
- Take a train to Chatswood
- Take a train to Wynyard
- Wander around looking lost until I somehow make my way to the piano exam place somewhere on Clarence Street
- Meet Bonnie (if I can make it in time) and provide moral support
- Meet Jessica (maybe) and grab something to eat
- And wait for other people to get there.
This is gonna be so dangerous fun.
I started reading his chapter reviews on the Hunger Games and his commentary on it is pretty funny and informative - even though I've already read the series. And then I click on his "Mark Reads Twilight" reviews and his whole tone changes.
He HATES the series. Like absolutely HATES it. All his reviews each chapter of Twilight sounds something like:
Chapter 1:In which I regrettably begin to read Twilight and it’s clear I’m going to hate every moment of this...
Chapter 2:In which Mark realizes very early how unrealistic and creepy this book is by the second chapter...
Chapter 7:In which Mark declares this book as the very worst book ever almost entirely based on how Bella surfs the Internet, and then learns that she gets emo over Linkin Park. This is AWFUL...
Chapter 12:In which Mark reviews the entire chapter using only two images...Until it ends with:
Mark Finishes Twilight – In which Mark decides he cannot live in a household with these four books still existing in it, so he hides them all around Los Angeles with notations to read this very blog. Again, sometimes I’m too clever for my own good. Oh well. As far as I know, no one has ever found the books and contacted me about them. Maybe I’ll never know what happened to them.
I read Twilight back in Year 6 and actually, I really liked it. That was back when no-one knew what Twilight was. Then there was the phase where EVERYONE loved Twilight and you would see girls carrying copies around at school etc. Now its gone to the "IF YOU LOVE TWILIGHT WE WILL COME KILL YOU IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND DUMP YOUR BODY IN PROSPECT CREEK" stage. But seriously, do people have to hate so much? ITS JUST A BOOK FOR GOD'S SAKE. I know the themes and characters piss people off but c'mon. No one's forcing anyone to read it. But I guess it can't be helped that Twilight is synonymous with "screaming 15 year olds who love Robert Pattinson". I swear, the movie gets more exposure than the book does.
But I digress.
I've gone WAYYY off topic. What I wanted to say was despite all my disapproval towards the Twilight hate, I TOTALLY LOVE THIS GUY'S REVIEWS. Seriously, for Chapter 12 of Eclipse he got sick of writing about it and decided to only comment on the chapter using Mean Girls quotes.
e.g:
■Alice: "Don't be a baby about this. No tantrums."
Boo, you whore.
■"So you're--I mean we're--having a graduation party. It's no big thing. Nothing to freak out over. But I saw you would freak out if I tried to make it a surprise party"--she danced out of the way as Edward reached over to muss her hair--"and Edward said I had to tell you. But it's nothing. I promise."
She thinks she's gonna have a party and invite me? Who does she think she is? I like INVENTED her, you know what I mean?
■"But on the other hand," he countered, "you will soon be leaving time altogether. So why should the transitory customs of one local culture affect the decision so much?"
It's true. At your age, Bella, you're going to have a lot of urges. You're going to want to take off your clothes and touch Edward. But if you do touch him, you WILL get chlamydia. And die.
& my favourite:
■"So your condition...?"
"Is still in effect. I do see your point, Bella, but if you want me to change you myself..."
"Dum, dum, dah-dum," I hummed under my breath. I was going for the wedding march, but it sort of sounded like a dirge.
Why should Edward just get to stomp around like a giant while the rest of us try not to get smushed under his big feet? Bella is just as cute as Edward, right? Bella is just as smart as Edward, people totally like Bella just as much as they like Edward, and when did it become okay for one person to be the boss of everybody because that's not what
Rome is about! We should totally just STAB EDWARD!

And here's Mark's collection of all his twilight reviews: http://markreads.net/reviews/2010/11/complete-mark-reads-twilight-archive/
My tutor class ended at 6:00 today. And Tian's dad didn't come to pick me up until 6:57. Sigh.
I guess that's not too bad. At least he remembered? LOL. If it was my mum, she would have totally forgotten I even had tutoring. Like two Fridays ago, she forgot to pick me up after MH and I ended up having to walk home. And when I got there, she said "Where were you?"
As you can see, I have a very loving family.
Anyways that's not what I wanted to say. What I wanted to say was: I am a genius. I should totally go work in the advertising industry because I have made the catchiest jingle in the history of.... catchy jingles. I swear, its even better than the commerce presentations from Year 8.
Here it is:
Jingleberry, jingleberry, jingleberry crush,
Looks like poo and it tastes like mush,
Guava nectar, raspberries, sorbet and ice!
And an energizer booooster!!
Its ok, you can say it - I'm brilliant.
All these quizzes can be found at http://www.quizilla.com/
Which Harry Potter character are you?HAHAHA, me as a mother? Don't make me laugh. Did I ever tell you about my evil plan of drowning babies....Hermione Granger
You're a well educated person who is smart and always chooses to do the right thing. Many people see you as their mother because they feel like you take care of them and that they need you by their side. Your number one priority is love, but other than that, it's studies!
What Board Game are you?Pick up sticks - also known as the lamest game on earth. Is that even a board game? O_O
Pick up sticks
Casual and fun! You are portable, fun, and easy!
To play this game, you need to be casual
What do your eyes say about you?I swear I am not picking all the nerdy answers. I just keep getting all the nerdy responses :(
Wisdom
Your eye's show you know what your talking about, you always give the best advice and always know which road is the right one to travel on.
What Hairstyle fits you?LOL me blonde? That would look really... weird.Blonde (or light brown) curls or waves.
You are pretty shy but thats okay! So many people love and will love you! You dont need to change yourself for anyone and light hair will acompany your characteristic features perfectly! Stay away from layers and go with a fringe if you want to ^^
What Kind of Cake are you?When people say "cute", I think of bunny rabbits and daisies. lol. So I don't really think I did this quiz properly...
You are a Mini Lemon Tart!
Mini lemon tarts are known to very sweet, but adding lemons to the mixture somehow makes it tastes energizing and sweet at the same time. You act cute at times but because of its exposed cover, you're prone to show emotions and feelings on accident, but you still keep your...cuteness and your sweetness. Life to you is something to enjoy sweetly, and it's like a calm walk through a breezy blue park for you.
What Period in History do you belong in?Oooh, I've always wanted to go back to Victorian Times. But the puffy dresses kind of make me want to laugh.
Victorian
You belong in Victorian Times! You are always try your hardest at everything. If you see room for improvement you won't rest until you can get no higher. Your ambitious and you are going to do well!
Which 2010 Song are You?
Baby Justin Bieber Ft. Ludacris
This song WAS A HUGE Hit for Justin and all the signs say this is ur song right now!!!!
LOL I wasn't actually gonna include this cuz its so embarassing. But I'm not gonna lie to my blog so... Baby it is. *cringe*
What Creature is your Soulmate?I never knew you could have a creature as a soulmate. Isn't that kind of creepy?
Guardian Angel
You think someone is always watching out for you and will be there for you no matter what happens and protect you.
And now, for my favourite title for a quiz:
Are You Normal?Wow really? I used to think I was a bit strange but apparently not. Good to know that I'm... normal :L
My result: Perfectly Normal
You're a fairly plain person, probably leading a somewhat monotonous life, but it's the way you like it. Your day would probably repeat itself a lot, but you've made sure only the best bits are repeating. You might sometimes wish for a bit of fun, and try doing something else, though this can then end up just incorporated into your daily rituals.
