We've said it before and we'll say it again/This time, This time, it's much different
Listening to: Gyroscope - Raindrops
WOW. okay...
Saturday I went up to Annandale for the Gyro/Hot lies/Trial Kennedy show. It was great. I'd been waiting so long for that show and it was completely worth it. Hadn't heard Trial Kennedy before then, and we were a bit late so we only caught about the last two songs of their set... but what we heard was great. They have crazy hair.
Hot Lies... pwoar. I don't know how they fit five guys onto a stage that small and still manage to have such an explosive set. I knew a few of their songs, and the ones I didn't know I pretended I did so I could look cool. Only joking.
Gyro were fantastic. I hadn't seen them since homebake last year and in that time they've developed so much. Even with their old songs. Their new album rocks, by the way. Go and get it when it's released. I'm naughty because I already have a copy. I don't know how these things happen. They just do. I swear I had no part in it.
They played some of their new stuff live. It sounds so good. I love Slow Dance, Don't look now but I think I'm Sweating Blood and Beware Wolf... Just to name a few.
I took my new camera up (yes, i got it on friday, despite the car accident and everything), and got some fantastic shots of THL and Gyro. I'll post them up a bit later when they're on the comp. Took about 170 photos. Crazy. Some of them are absolute shit though...
SO THEN...
Last night i went to the good old Oxford tavern to do the whole thing over again. It was probably even better than the annandale (even though the stage was about the tiniest thing you've ever seen). It was the Last show of the tour though, so everyone was on fire and sounded awesome...
Gyroscope now have Hoodies. I want one.
Rock on, boys.

He's got eyes like the blueist skies/As if they'd thought of rain...
Listening to: Blackbird - The beatles
Eating: Cheese spread... on a roll. It's great.
Catch up is for losers, so this what's happening now...
Last night was 'Highlight Zone' which is a showcase of all our wonderful HSC music pieces. It was one of the most awesome experiences I've ever had. If I'm judging it right, that'll be one of the last times I get to perform on the Bulli High Hall stage... Haha! I can still remember singing kasey chambers 'Am I not pretty enough?' in year eight. I thought I was so cool.
I wasn't.
So. Last night. Sang everything from Tracy Chapman to Bon Jovi, Matchbox twenty to Guns n' Roses. Todd sang for the first time in public and he was great. Tegan and I did Shelley... We kind screwed the beginning, but we revived it (and anyway, how good did her hair look?) Freakin' ryans... freakin' amazing... Dog's guitar is pretty... Callum made his mum cry! He nearly cried too. He's got such a perfect smooth voice. Jealous. Very...
Everyone was so good. Thankyou so much to everyone who came down to see us perform. And for those of you who didn't... f you. Only joking. Your loss.
I also broke my toe on the grand piano...
We have 12 days left of school.
bwahahahagrhiuhainindug!! Oh no...
It's a bit scary. I have to get to work now. I mean, what? I've been working all year... right? Right...
IAMLOVESTRUCK!

'Hello. I've waited here for you - Everlong.'
Listening to: Jewel - Near you always
Feeling: Unsure.
Wow. Been a while since I wrote.
Well, Extension portfolio, PIP and Drama night have all been and gone. thanks to everyone who came to see us perform. We had lots of fun. For those of you who didn't... it's your loss. So ner.
Today is the sunday before my maths and english extension exam. I feel like I should be more worried about them than I am. To be honest I really just can't be bothered. I'm far too distracted by the fact that I'm leaving school in about a month. It feels unbelievably weird. There's some people from school who I might never see again (Not such a bad thing in some cases)...
I was supposed to go to a party last night. But the party didn't happen which was a bit dissapointing. I had drinks and everything. Got home about quarter to two in the morning feeling thoroughly deflated and very un-partied out.
I'm dissapointed in a few things, actually.
- Maybe I'm just the sort of person who's easily dissapointed. It's weird how I can have so much respect for someone and then, within a matter of seconds, they completely blow it. Then again, he is male. Oh no. I sound like a feminist.
- I don't understand myself sometimes. One minute I'll be absolutely loving everything around me - my life, my mates... everything. And then the next I'll be filled with this awful doubt...start askin myself whether this is what I really want to be doing. Everytime it happens I tell myself that I'll go into hibernation for a couple of weeks. But I never do. And the cycle repeats itself. Weird, yeah? I don't think that's what friendship is supposed to feel like.
- And I'm dissapointed that I've let myself drift away from people who I'm fond of... because when I see them, it's a joy and a heartbreak at the same time. Like it's good to see them after all this time, yet I wish I had never stopped being around them, because looking at them again makes me remember what it used to be like.
- I wish it was easier to define the way I feel about somebody. because being in the limbo between 'friend' and 'possibly more than friend' is an awful place to be, especially when I don't know if it's just 'all in my head'... And the more I think about it, the more i convince myself of things that I know, deep down, simpy aren't true. I wish I wasn't so jealous... I also wish I could think of a better word than 'jealous' to describe this situation. It just doesn't do it justice.
- I can't even write a song about these things anymore. My brain won't form words, and when it does, they don't say what I want them to. And I am absolutely terrified that i've lost my muse.
If you think any of this is about you, chances are it probably isn't. So don't stress.
I'm sorry to rant and be so disjointed.
I had to get it off my chest.

*puts hands up* Oi, do you know what this is about?
Listening to: sarah singing the foo fighters
I'm on holidays. Weee. Actually, I've been on holidays for a week... and I still have a shit load of work to do before I go back to school. Super fun. Here's what I've still got:
-A 7000 word Personal Interest Project
-A 2000 word Crime Fiction Short story
-A 500 word description of a detective
-A 500 word Introduction to a crime fiction novel
-A 2000 word interview
I probably should read King Lear as well. It might help. I swear My mentor at school used to have a heart attack everytime I'd go and see her to tell her everything that I hadn't done. Now she just rolls her eyes, shakes her head and moves on. I don't know which reaction is better.
I feel like i've hardly been hom all holidays. Whihc is kind of true. I walked in the front door the other day Mum goes "Oh! Kay! Nice to see you". Thankyou. I kind of like seeing myself too. That's why I have a wall full of mirror.
I'm joking. I had no say in the mirrored wardrobe whatsoever.
I've been out every night apart from Friday and tonight. Not doing anything in particular really. I don't remember what i did to be honest. Went to the movies on tuesday. Saw War of the World. I liked it. Everyone else didn't. I got a bit scared. Actually, more shocked than scared. The moment the laser thing chopped the first person in half, my mouth just dropped. I don't know why. I mean with a title like 'war of the worlds' it's obvious someone's going to die.
I nearly cried. Nearly. But didn't. I had welling. as in... of tears.
Go see it. Lame ending though. I suggest you walk out of the cinema ten minutes early and make up your own end. Chances are you'll like it alot more.
Tom Cruise is sexy for a middle aged dude with kids. Katie Holmes is a lucky chicken.
Ha... got my photos back from the 'gathering' I had when Mum and Dad went away to that chicks birthday party. Funny stuff. Don't really remember much of that night... except eating crumpets and drinking beer with Nikki... and falling over a pot plant.
Here's a picture of Erica picking my posters nose:
Ha!

11 weeks... or something like that.
Listening to: nuthin' muffin
We've only got one week of school eft before holidays. Thank spiggin' God for that, ay. I'm so sick of it. Two weeks of holiday probably won't change my mind about that, though. I have alot fo work to do in the holidays as well, so it'll probably feel just like school but without a uniform.
Joy.
Trials are two weeks after the holidays. I really want to go well in them. Alot of people are using them as a scare tactic... not studying, then letting their bad marks freak them into studying for the HSC exams in october. I don't want to do that. But it'll probably end up happening no matter what I want.
Wanna see a photo of my new camera?
Actually, it's not mine. But it will be in August. Dad's going to get it when he goes through duty free. Should cost about $2000. Pwoar! Woooo...
I'm getting a new phone aswell. I think I'm going shopping crazy. why don't i go buy myself a yacht while I'm at it? Not as shopping crazy as Ash though. I think she went shopping everyday last week. Wow. Wish i had that type of money. haha... maybe I should stop buying cameras worth half a car.
I swear this lesson is supposed to be over by now...

Listening to: Self Titled - What are you waiting for
I meant to write this entry last night. So lets just pretend its still last night.
Wow. I am so tired because I just got home from the farm. Alex's farm that is. But I guess it's really more of a 'property' because it doesn't really have any animals. Except for rabbits and kangaroos. The place next door has sheep... and a guy who likes to give alex's parents pumpkins and who also has a shim of a daughter.
Alex, Amanda, Adam, Ashleigh, Jay and I all went up on saturday night. Jay nearly killed us once... or twice... on the way there. It must have looked really cool for someone outside of the car though. He did this awesome power slide... I don't think he meant to. Amanda screamed alot. And did this quivery lip thing, which cracks me up everytime. haha. I can just picture it now. It was dark by the time we got there... and raining, which was weird, because instead of being all dusty like it usually is, it was all muddy and wet. So we sat around the fire inside and drank the simpsons alphabet noodle chicken soup.
We went shooting that night. I don't think we got anything. Though Jay and Adam chases a rabbit round a paddock and then alex's dad threw it at me and ash while we were sitting in the truck. I don't know how but we both managed to get rabbit hair in our mouth. But jay decided that he wanted it as a pet. And so he kept it and fed it bread. Rabbits don't eat bread. Bet you didn't know that.
Went chasing sheep on saturday... and filmed it all aswell. Except I was laughing so hard at Amanda trying to stop the sheep from running away by clamping it between her knees that I couldn't hold the camera upright and Ash had to take over.
Ash and I managed to fall off the motorbike twice. She did an impromptu mono, which was very unexpected. It doesn't really work when there's someone else on the back. I fell off. And the other time she just ran into a pile of wood.
Going shooting is so funny. The boys take it so seriously and if you make the slightest noise there's this instant chorus of 'Shhh!' from them... which of course makes you laugh. And then they get the shits because you're making too much noise and you'll scare the animals away. And then when we went fox shooting they had this little 'rabbit in pain' whistle... which sounded so funny i had to bite my scarf.
Anyway, The weekend was awesome. And I drove a manual truck. Bwaha!
