Words of Wisdom (from Cynthia's Dad)

At first it was like.............................................................................

Some of them stared at us like this: >_> and I was thinking in my head, YO WHAT'S YO PROBLEM MAN?? WHY SO SERIOUS?? YOU COULD AT LEAST SMILE, YOU KNOW - INSTEAD OF JUDGING US WITH YOUR IMPASSIVE EXPRESSIONS.

But then we all came on and we stomped and clapped and acted all agro-like and someone landed on my foot but it was okay because they finally smiled AND IT WAS BLOODY AWESOME AND I AM SO PROUD. LOLS.

And now you're probably wondering what the fuck I'm talking about. That's okay, half the time I don't even know what I'm talking about.

*****

On to a change of topic: just the other day, my dad said to me and my sister,

"Your mum... she's very beautiful... but not very smart. That's why I married her - because if she was beautiful AND smart, everyone else would want her."

And he said that right in front of her too. Haha. Smooth Dad, smooth...

All Whiny and Shit

Your typical teenage post about typical teenage problems. Don't be expecting anything mature and intellectual (as if I ever write intellectual posts anyway).

I want:

To curl up in bed and just sleep past 7:20 every day. I want to stay cooped up at home reading trashy historical romances for 3 hours straight (have just graduated from paranormal romances. My reading preferences reflect the circumstances of my life - they're insubstantial and all over the place). I want The Great Gatsby to self immolate and poof up out of my life. I wish Daisy Buchanan would get run over by a car. I want to watch The Voice tonight. But I can't... cause there's these thing called the HSC which I am a little bit worried about. I want to replace all my english homework with maths homework. I want to stop feeling so unmotivated. I want the weather to warm up. I want to stop freezing my ass off in maths class. I want to stop blogging now because it's cutting into my "study" time.

The Voice Australia - Brittany and Kelsie Battle Round

I'm about a week late, posting this. I was much busier this week and I wouldn't have found the time to post stuff even if I wanted to.



If you've seen this already then well, why not watch it again?? If you haven't seen it, then you can watch it now. Believe it or not, there are actually some people out there who DON'T watch The Voice (why not guys? It's not too late to start now!). Anyway, if you're one of the few who don't want to slog through 2 hours of reality television every Monday and Tuesday, then you can just watch the highlights that I post here. Sound good? I promise, I'll put only nice ones up here!

Anyway, this battle was between Brittany and Kelsie. Kelsie first appeared on the show playing and singing to an acoustic version of Teenage Dream. She was awesome. Brittany sang Gravity when she first appeared. She was awesome too. To me, both of them were standouts in the blind auditions. Now they're singing "Turning Tables" by Adele in the Battle Round and together, they are DOUBLE-LY AWESOME.

I feel sorry for Keith for having to pick which one he likes more. Brittany's voice is just perfect. Everything she sings sounds so pure and clear. However, I think Kelsie has a very unique way of convenying the lyrics. She makes it her own whereas Brittany sticks strictly to the original. I love it when she almost "drawls" the lyrics and then resolves it straight after. It gives me goosebumps :)

Song of the Week: "Spanish Lady" by Celtic Woman


I love this group so very very much. Look at them! They're having such a blast, swishing their beautiful dresses around and singing amidst the backdrop of an Irish castle. And they're singing LIVE too! Aren't they awesome? WELL AREN'T THEY??

.....

It's okay. At least Tian agrees with me.

1st World Problems

I really hate English, guys. I feel like a broken record but I can't help it. It's not that the work we do isn't interesting, because if I had a choice between doing maths exercises or reading books/watching movies, I would obviously choose the latter. But I hate the work we get from english. The stupid, bloody essays and the stupid, bloody speeches and the stupid bloody major work WHICH SHOULD TOTALLY GO JUMP OFF A CLIFF AND LIKE, DIE.

-breathe Cynthia, breathe-

I know people say we should always look at the long term, and that in a few years time, we wouldn't even remember all the stress of year 12 but it just feels like the end will never come. I can't even imagine the day when I finish the major work. How would I feel? Would I even be happy about the end product? Pfffffff. Not likely.

Anyway, on to other issues. I'm one of those few people who actually read in roll call LOL. It's true. If I just sit there and pretend to read, I get all antsy and fidgety. It's pathetic I know. It seems like 99% of the people I  know say the only thing they "read" in roll call is like their prescribed english text and to be honest, I've been doing that lately. It's not because I've run out of books though. Quite the opposite, in fact. It's because all the books I read now are on my Kobo E-reader. I haven't gone to the library since last term. So I basically sit in roll call staring at The Great Gatsby and its boring me to tears because I know I could be reading something way more interesting. But I am definitely not going to bring the e-reader to school because knowing me, I would probably lose it within a week.

So yeah, those are my first world problems.

About a Boy

I forgot how funny "About a Boy" is. I laughed so many times last night, watching it on TV. I loved the part where the kid chucked the bread at the duck and acidentally killed it. I loved the part where he gets stuck in a room with that lady's creepy son who then starts having a meltdown. I loved the part where Hugh Grant goes to the SPAT meeting and tries to pick up single mums. And I loved the part where Hugh Grant goes on stage  to sing "Killing Me Softly" with the boy. He was literally "killing the audience with his song". LOL.


Man, I so want to live in London. Why couldn't my parents have fled to England instead?? WHY??

Team Edward and Team Jacob



No seriously, look at them. LOOK AT THEM DAMMIT. Benji and Joel Madden said that they called them the Twilight pair behind their backs. I can see why.

The voice is so entertaining guys. It's not half as sucky as I thought an Australian adaptation would've been.

And Keith Urban is like, the man. I finally see why Nicole Kidman married him. He's such a nice person! You never would've thought, judging from his rough-cut appearance and the whole drugs thing.

 

Hey look, it's Troy and Gabriella! Okay, I'll stop now. But you should watch this one too. It was my favourite one of that episode.
