26th July 2010

Pretty excited for my boyfriend coming home tomorrow. I have missed him heaps!
So not much happened today. Just a lazy day, once again! That’s the good thing about not having uni

There is something a bit more serious to talk about now though. I was watching a TV show on the ABC tonight, and it was so sad, I almost cried. It was about how women in Congo are getting raped, from as young as the age of 4. It was terrible to watch, but I couldn’t look away. It made me so angry. It is because there is war going on and the soldiers just go and attack the women, and threaten them or their family if they try to refuse. There was even an incidet where a six month old baby was taken and almost raped. I can’t believe these horrible horrible things are happening in the world. Why is there so much violence? How can these disgusting men be so heartless? Slowly things in these African countries are being overcome, with places for women to go to be safe. But not every one can be helped. It just got me thinking and I would hope that anyone in a better off country would keep the women in their prayers, and donate money to care facilities and hospitals where possible. Sometimes I wish I could do more, but raising awareness will have to do for now.

So that’s that. In the morning we are going out early to the airport. Nothing much else going on.

I finished drawing the MyChonny and Bubz pic today! I’ll have to show it instead of a photo:

The hardest part was Chonny’s mouth, but I tried my best, and lots of people liked it! It is my most favourited artwork on my DeviantArt page (http://curiouserx10.deviantart.com/)

Woo so anyway the finale of Master Chef was on tonight, I wanted Callum to win. He was pretty awesome, but ended up coming second. He did however win a culinary scholarship, and I think he will go far with this! Both finalist did a great job and cooked some amazing food!!

In other news, I was verbally abused by some lesbian chick who I don’t even know! Now don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against lesbians and gays, in fact I support them. But somehow this girl just attacked me over twitter because I don’t like her girlfriend who I go to uni with. Yeah it’s a bit crazy, but hey what can you do? I didn’t let it bother me, since I know I have better things to do than fight about stupid stuff.

So that is my completely random day all summed up!

Sorry it has been a long time since I was on here! But I am keen to continue this daily blogging now

Thanks for reading

Mmmm looking forward to Alex being home on Tuesday! I am just at home today, pretty bored! I did however get to drive, and smashed 3 1/2 hours of driving! I now have 32 hours to go! Yay!! I can’t wait to have my licence, so I can just leave whenever I want, and go wherever I want! I hope to have it in about 2 months (I could have it in a month, but the rate my parents go, I’ll be lucky to have it in December!)

Later on tonight I watched Raw Comedy, and it was hilarious! It is like a competition of up and coming comedians from around Australia, they get a 2 minute set and are judged on how good they are. Most of them were pretty funny, some were not that great, and the guy that I liked in the beginning ended up winning! It was a good laugh

Lady GaGa’s film clip to Alejandro was mentioned, and I had not seen it yet so I had to go and check it out! It was very interesting, and also a bit strange, but an amazing piece of artwork all the same. I love her work, and her music is perfect to sing and dance to!

That’s all for today, here is the pic! It is the city lights by the sea, and I used a long exposure, so it kinda looks like an explosion! (I didn’t have a tripod, so yes it is a bit blurry, but the effect is cool!)

Bye for now

Just a few more touches to add to my magazine article assignment then onto the newspaper one. Pretty easy, and hopefully it won’t take too long. It’s due today, which means photojournalism will be officially over. Too bad the newspaper layout was really confusing! I figured we had to put part of the article on pages one and two, and the rest on page 12! Crazy newspaper layouts. And I asked for help over Facebook, and this smartass who I can’t stand, replied with “it describes the layout in the email, about 5 times if you bothered to read it” I was like ummm excuse me! I did read it and it still didn’t make sense. He continued to annoy me the rest of the afternoon, offering sarcastic and completely non helpful comments to other questons I asked, and that’s when I deleted and blocked him. It felt good. He is such a weird guy, and looks weird too…..he wears a bowler hat on top of his fluffy black curly hair, which he recently dyed orange, yes orange. So if he didn’t look stupid enough already, the orange highlighted his oddness even more, not to mention he is over 6ft tall! Geez, so yeah, got rid of him, and went on to make up funny code names for him as his friends whom I also do not like. My friends and I giggle about it when we see them now, and it brings me great joy

Anyways, I finished the reports, and handed them in, in my opinion, they looked pretty good! I was home later, and just chilling, but discovered there was nothing interesting on TV, unfortunately. But! I did go onto BlogTV and watched MyChonny’s show, which was hilarious as usual!! The cool fans I met created a Facebook fanpage, so us fans who are truly dedicated, and stay after his show to chat! It’s so cool! I also designed the picture they used on the page as the display image, which I was proud of.

So yeah, that will be all for today, check back tomorrow!

Today’s pic is one I used in a ‘Fear’ assignment. It is my sister, with blue light, and she looks pretty creepy!

Enjoy,

22nd July 2010

Doing a shoot at my uncles house today, for butterflies, because apparently he has lots in his garden. So I went to the shops near his house to wait for him to get me. I bought a magazine which had a nice lipgloss/lipstick with it! I unfortunately ended up missing out on meeting my uncle at the shops because he was there and tried calling me, but I did not get any messages, so didn’t know he was there. It got to about 2 hours after he said he would be there (I just thought he was running late) and then I called him. He said he had been there and waited, but couldn’t get through to me >.< Damn, so I ended up walking to his house, and then when I went to take some photos the camera died! The day was getting worse!!!

I had actually left the camera charger in the car, which was extremely annoying, so I searched the house for another charger, because I knew they had the same brand of camera. I eventually found one and got charging. I had 2 batteries so I rotated them while photographing so I could keep taking photos.

I got home later with some awesome shots of – no butterflies - but cocoons and caterpillars! It was perfect, since I already had many butterfly pics. I still have to write 400 more words for the report though, so I set to work on that. I kept expecting mum to come home but then I remembered she was in Brisbane celebrating my other uncle’s 50th! I really wish I could have gone, but I had no money

And there’s a longer post for today, all done!

Here is one of the photos I took:

A Cairns Birdwing Chrysalis! Woo

Bye for now

Pretty sure I’d like to start work at Macca’s! It’s been 3 weeks! I need some money ASAP. Will probs give them a call soon.

Oh ohh if only I was in Perth in September so that I could go to Parklife music festival! That would be so awesome, but unfortunately I’ll be 3 months too late! But I am sure there will be many more awesome festivals and other artists coming to Perth in the next few years anyway! Speaking of Perth though, I went and had a look at the Curtin University website, and the campus looks awesome! I can’t WAIT to go there!!!

So yeah, went for a run, which was nice. Gotta keep doing that to stay fit! I am trying to think of something interesting to do…hmmm. Later on I found a cool shirt that I really want of Threadless! Too bad I has no moneyyyy.

Lol that will be all for today short but sweet, but not without the photo! This is my sister, doing an awesome pose

20th July 2010

Slowly catching up on my blogging..and yes it is now October, but I’m still pretending it is July

Having to do assignments by hand, because mum thought it was a good idea to take my laptop to work with her so I can’t use it. This sucks Oh wells, at least I have my iPod Touch!

Life is quite boring without technology, so I decieded to bake something. A while later, I had produced a delicious Lemon Meringue Pie and some Melting Moments! Take a look at the pie…are you hungry now?!

Mmmhmmmm yummy! Hehe

Also, right now, loving Lady GaGa’s album The Fame Monster! She has such great songs to sing and dance to! Found a cool blog on Japanese stuff, from the view of an English person who moved there. They spot and photograph all the awesome little quirks about Japan, that I just find amazing! Check it out here: http://japangasm.wordpress.com/

So that’s the lot once again, check back tomorrow for some more!

I watched the movie Daybreakers today, which I really liked! Its about finding a cure for Vampirism, basically. And has some hot actors in it too!

Next up, got a *little* bit pissed off by my photography teacher. She gave me a Pass overall, even though I got a Distinction and 2 Credits for the assignments, plus 10/10 on one of the tests! But her reasoning was: “You didn’t get the 10% in the first test so that was enough to pull your overall mark down to a pass” What the HELL! It makes no sense!! If a 10% test is enough to bring an overall mark down from probably a high Credit, I am very disappointed! I even tried arguing with her and emailed the head of school, but he never emailed back. She would not budge on her final mark, and that made me very angry. Now my report card doesn’t look as good as it could have. Oh well…nothing much I can do about it.

Anyway, pretty much loving Harry Potter right now, though I think I always have and always will hehe Going to read the last book again before seeing the movie in November! Omg can’t wait for that!!

I also can’t wait for when I have a sound system in my car so I can blast all of my favourite music! It would be great to have my licence too, but once again, not a lot I can do about that. Yeahh I can not wait to get away from home and all my parents stupid rules. I got my laptop taken off me before because I didn’t clean my room >.< I just wish I had a wand so I could just swipe it over my room and it would magically be clean! Would be awesome *daydreams* haha

Lol that’s the lot for today, hope you enjoyed! I think this longer post makes up for the last few short ones! Here is the photo for today:

An interesting sculpture thing at the local swimming pool

Yeah yeaaahh – I’m out

18th July 2010

Aww so my sister is going on her first date with a boy! Hehe how cute And that was at the beach, where I am now going to pick her up and also get an icecream! Mmmhmm I know you are jealous! Later on when I was home I was just chilling out, blasting some Eminem and stuff, and doing some art. Yeah yeaah! I also listened to Parkway Drive’s new song Sleepwalker, and saw the video clip…it is SO good!!! It’s arty and liney, has awesome effects, lots of crows and consists of the colours black/white/red/grey…so if ur into that stuff, check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15mxiWAYSEw

In other news, I just freed up a gig and a half of space on my computer by deleting 2000 old/repeated songs! Yay, now I have a bit more room for things (was drastically running out of space!)

And yeah thats really all for today! Today’s photo is the nice lagoon at Riverway…now I feel like a swim!

Cya tomorrow,

xoxo
