After about 4 months of lounging around, procrastination and avoidance of all things blogspot, I finally set up my new blog. It can be found here: http://ablibberinghumdinger.blogspot.com.au/.

I hope you guys can follow me on it. There won't be much difference though. I suppose I just wanted a fresh start seeing as I just got out of high school and all. (New chapter of my life = new blog). If you do follow me there, don't unfollow me here. This will probably stay my ranty/spazzy blog. I also have a sneaking suspicion that I'll come crawling back here after a while. What can I say? It is very difficult trying to give up 4 years and 27,236 views worth of content.

So yeah, this is definitely not goodbye. I will just see you on the other side I guess.

I first saw these pictures in The Daily Telegraph with the cheesetacular headline of, "First picture on set of even hungrier Games". Yep. If I ever meet the person who makes up those headlines, I'm pretty sure we will best friends. Here are a few more that I dug up online, all showing the cast members doing essentially the same thing (that is, standing on podiums somewhere off the coast of Hawaii). I must admit though - those jumpsuits are badass; definitely a big improvement over the first movie's "camping gear". Plus, Finnick is le sexy.

That last one so utterly embodies the character of Peeta. LOL jokes. I love Peeta :)

Oh, and shoutout to Nanny Nincompoop for yesterday! Happy Birthday my crazy non-cousin/neighbour/third musketeer person!



Today I taught my first Year 9 class.

It was the most traumatizing, exhausting, scarring, distressing, stressful, unmanageable two hours of my life. The fact that I only had an hour's warning before taking the class was probably a big factor  of this. At one point, the guys in the 2nd and 3rd row started talking about wet dreams. I laughed it off and told them to concentrate in a firm voice but secretly I wanted to do much worse.

My respect for teachers, especially subs, has risen astronomically because of this experience. NEVER AGAIN will I criticize the teaching methods of any teacher. NEVER AGAIN. Every time I faced the board, the kids would just raise their voice or play with their phones or something. When I asked for answers, there were some who would give me attitude or "the look". They're not bad kids though, just fidgety and disinterested. Maybe it was my inexperience or something. Sometimes I wish I was taller and meaner looking. Being male would also help. I think the kids see someone who's short and young-looking and then immediately decide to take advantage of that person. It's not like I could turn around and bellow, "RESPECT AND LISTEN TO ME!!!", or anything you know?

I've come to the conclusion that after taking regular classes next year, I will need counselling sessions. Like a lot of them. In the meanwhile, I will pick up meditation and yoga and do some cleansing rituals to zen myself out. Either that or someone has to buy me a punching bag for Christmas.

I just saw Annie's post about being a perfectionist and I figure I should put in my 2 cents as well. I probably won't be blogging much (if at all) until I get a new blog up and running. At this rate, it will probably take three million years for that to happen, just so you know. Why? Because CHOOSING A BLOG NAME AND FINDING A GOOD TEMPLATE IS SO BLOODY HARD. That's why.

There's a reason "C's Reverie" has stayed "C's Reverie" for 4 years now... and it's not because "C's Reverie" is such an awesome name for a blog. Hell, it's probably the worst name anyone's ever come up with. For the new blog, I wanted to use "Oh My Blog" but apparently that's taken. So is "Blame it on the nargles" and "That Random Weird Girl". So yeah. Don't be surprised if my new blog name ends up being something totally strange like, "You're So Voluptuous" or "Frangipani Heaven" or "CynthiaisinlovewithJerichoBarronslikeOMG".

Just thought I should warn you guys.
