You might not remember but this time last year some of us made new years resolutions. So tell me what failed and what went swimmingly and what changed. Did you find that your goals changed or are they very much the same?
Make a new set of New years resolutions!
S.D.: I have different hair and contacts. I haven't really improved academically. I haven't been as melodramatic and I still don't take anything too seriously. I'm not very healthy ahaha and I still talk a lot of bullshit. I have both black and colour yeah! I don't know if I'm more domineering or dominating.
This year: ♥ decide where I want to be in life career-wise and get there ♥ disregard people that I do not care for / stop wasting time ♥ be my own source of motivation ♥ be a lady / grow up ♥ exercise regularly ♥ read widely
V.L:
Ooh! I'm not really sure how helpful New Years Resolutions are, since I broke my second one from last year in like February. I couldn't help myself! But erm, I did manage to get down to a size 6, and then decide that starving myself was no fun and have bounced back thanks to those squashed marshmellows Shelley (I think squashed marshmellows are actually nicer than non-squashed ones.) and a lot of ice-cream. I think I'm different, more mature, and not as worried about what everyone thinks, because I've realized it actually really doesn't matter. I'm in a really good place now after a few rocky months, but that's all been sorted out, and I don't think I'm going to make many resolutions because I already have personal goals that I'm working towards. :)
Just one: ♥ Be happy!

<3 Wii's Hehe after i read back on my last years resolution i realised they didn't really influence me to do anything that's not the norm. But yes i guess i did achieve many of those resolutions. Lets see... well i did get a new hair cut ^^ *beams* and i guess my grades in year 11 were pretty good, i didn't really lose weight, well i did expand my vocab , i mean even one word is counted as fulfulling that one.
But yes this year my resolution is to try my best for the hsc year and to have loads fun after. My motto : Work hard and party hard

So in Physics today we were discussing how technological advances were made mostly due to war and the desire to kill things (yadda yadda yeah I know. Let's not argue) and then somehow we started talking about SARS.
So I was doing English homework which related to philosophy (to be more exact, authenticity) and came across this.
I think its interesting. And if we were all to take advice from that article, we'd all be more interesting, attractive people. Wouldn't that be nice?
And yes. I was doing English homework D:
30 October 2009
Hello. I have found yet another thing to do with my time. Instead of doing this, I should be doing my tutoring work, but of course, I am the master of procrastination. I can literally just sit in front of my computer and stare at the screen to get out of doing work. Anyway. That's not the point.
I was wondering if it was possible to actually write up a study planner for each day and actually stick to it. I mean, the way I'm going right now...I'm going to end up failing my HSC because I never planned my days properly, nor did I actually do any substantial work. If fact, the only work that I've actually done today is my maths work...which is due on Monday, partly because I didn't want to start my tutoring work.
For shame.
Anyway study planner. I need one. Perhaps I should buy one...anyone know where I can get a nice one?
Hello...lo...lo...lo Hi. -rant- 'Why?' you may ask, 'Should we resurrect this little private blog thing?' But let's face it, being "independently minded young women" really means that we're passive agressive and that we don't ask questions in class very often (yes I have to have a go at you in every post). So I'm pretty sure that none of you were actually wondering why I'm attempting to resurrect a dead blog about...attractive dead men... um ANYWAY, the answer is: MEEEEEEE
*points at head* Yeeeaaaahhh...you know what this is about. This is about me having difficulty being unique on my own. Because I don't want to be different. But I don't want to be like everyone else. I don't want to eb unique but everyone else has to be unique with me because otherwise I'd feel like the black sheep and everyone else would look at me funny. But if everyone else was unique like me then I wouldn't be unique unless I tried not to be unique. AHAHahaha I'm kidding. -end rant-
Well I wasn't really kidding that much. I'm just trying to turn this into one of those articles that sort of goes in circles and you never quite know if they're going in circles because they sort of go of on tangents about turds and that douche bag over there with the fingers that smell like...
ANYWAY. the point is.... I guess the main thing I'm trying to get across is...
Let's all dye our hair unnatural colours. I'm talking all the Special Effects colours...apart from pitch black. So blues, oranges, yellows, pinks, purples, lemons, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries. I'm hungry can you tell? WHO'S WITH ME!?!?! EH? .... EH???
fine. humph. you bastards.
I'll do it if you do it ^^ but yeah you do need to bleach first. It's times like these I wish I was born as an albino.
How cool would it be to go out as a group huh? we'd look like...asians with strange hair!
Oh yeah and I'm really glad we're not the angsty teen group with our own private angsty blogs where we talk about really angsty shit that noone wants to read about anyway. I'm so over the angsty crap ^^ zero-tolerance.

Well I learnt a lot more..but these are the three that come to mind:
1. The only asians are tourists. 2. I hate queues. I blame Vicki. 3. No one in my family can read a map, except for me. Many u-turns were made, many cars beeped their horns at us because my dad was driving really slowly..lots of yelling.
Say you worked for the establishment...oh yes the evil establishment, what would you wear?
Lee: Pride - by nancyandtoy on Polyvore.com Akira was all about her lips. They were a ripe, luscious red in full bloom. When they parted, you could see the small sharp teeth that drew blood in her nervous states. She's hunting down the perfect pout to lure the hopelessly romantic.
Are Earl Grey tea bags married? Not exactly "Corporate Whore" but the establishment all the same. Tea - by smackerals on Polyvore.com
I would like to take this space to congratulate all of us for constantly posting ( and to finally get an account.It has been 6 months and 12 days since we established this blog ^^ Hasn't time flown.
Happy Belated 6 Months hotdeadmen . . . . . . . doesn't that just sound a lil weird?
Just wondering this while i was studying for legal ^^ See aren't i a good girl, i'm studying? Ok that wasn't the question.
The question is:
Would you go through with euthanasia if you knew you were terminally ill *touchwood* ?
Of course we're just assuming that it was legal. ^^
Oh and if you want you can answer if you think it should be legal in Australia?
Winnie Hm i think i would try to enjoy every last day of my life and try to fulfill all the things on my 'to do list.' However if i knew that the pain i would be going through excruciating pain i would consider it.. i guess... I think it should be legal people deserve to decide on how their life should end. ^^
Lee: I would not consider euthanasia unless my condition was influencing the quality of other people's lives. By that I mean, if it was becoming incredibly expensive to keep me alive or people are distraught when they see me in a weak condition etc. I'd like to write a book or give speeches about my life at that point so that I can positively influence people and encourage them to be brave or 'carpe diem'. I'd want to use every moment wisely though. Just imagine if you did that now. I think the book Soul Mountain is relevant here. Anyone read it? I think it should be legal but very strictly controlled.
Vtoffeef. I'll just go with the flow and make my mind up whenever. I'll do what I feel is right and what must be done. I would NEVER write a book about my life. I wouldn't want to bore anyone to tears. ahem. Sally Morgan. Yes, you were against great odds etc. etc. Good for bloody you. Keep your satisfaction to yourself. There's no need to be so smug.
Jess: How on earth did this come up while you were studying for legal? Anyway, I think I would go with it. But not before trying, as you said, to enjoy life. I think I'd like to do stuff that I'd never gotten to do, and then go around saying goodbye to everyone and writing letters to all of you before going through with it.
Contrary to popular belief: - I'm not EMO. How can I possibly be emo if you can't define the term properly? Emo is a genre of music that I don't listen to and never have had any interest in. Any other sense of the word relates to the word's connotations and they extend to self mutilation, trashy attitude and depression. None of these have any relation to me whatsoever. - I'm not Satanic. I don't belong the the Church of Satan and I'm not even pagan. Satan is part of the belief of religion and I'm not religious so it could not possibly be that I worship Satan. And even if I did, you would think I'd have the sense to keep it to myself. Obviously (or not so obviously as it would seem) I'm dripping with sarcasm when I say "I love Satan". - I don't listen to Screamo. I don't like any band that has been described as screamo before. Honestly do a little research before you decide 'Well... she wears too much black and listens to heavy stuff and the only genre I know that fits is screamo so that must be it because I'm an ignorant pisspot who knows nothing of that which is outside the bubble I live in and I'm far too mindfucked to learn.'
I’m sick of people who are quick to the conclusion that I must be emo, satanic and in love with screamo. I find it offensive and I don’t believe that I should have to put up with people who time and time again express their false assumptions in criticising tones even though they have been corrected. If I don’t (tactlessly) voice my opinions of you as an insolent brat lacking in all departments but that of idiocy, then I see no reason why you can not do the same.
[This isn't directed at just one person...the majority are in fact, to blame.] -end rant-
Its odd that when I start smiling, people ask me "what's wrong", "what's so funny?" or just give me the o.0 look. So here is the answer to your question whatever it may be. And someday, hopefully you'l make the same [dramatic?] change. ♥Lee
Due to our poetry study at school my imaginative juices have started to run again. Either it was that or it was the sheer boredom of maths but i have composed this lovely poem. The subject of the poem is shelley and i .
Roses are red Violets are blue I can't cook But nor can you.
Please post your lovely pieces of poetry or anything else you have come up with xD.
Ever since he was born, Sean loved to watch porn on the lawn at dawn.
lee's version of the previous poem (yes i'm highly unoriginal)
Ever since he was born, Sigmund loved to watch porn, he fucked on the lawn and was dead by dawn. (it was Chlamydia)...
Jess:
I'm sitting here wondering if you'd ever forgive me. I did not mean to eat you It's just that you were so tasty. Your blood dribbled down my chin And onto my lap. Now I'm wondering if it'd be worth the trouble You'd give me if I ate your brain.
It started off as Sunday Wasted the day, Moved to Monday Sat in front of the computer, Burning my eyes Good gracious it's Tuesday Slept the day away Flipped over the calendar Revealed it was Wednesday School dragged another page off Thursday came too soon Went back to bed, Too tired to open my eyes Checked my phone Showed it was Friday Dreaded the next day For it was tutoring. Stayed awake the whole night Trying to stop the sun coming up I was too late. Sister told me it was Saturday Brain melted from maths Wished it was Sunday.
I do believe my brain has melted, but where did the headache come from? Not from my head, for I have no brain. Not from my body for I have no ache. Perhaps it was another who gave me this pain.
School has melted my brain, and the tests have not come yet. It must be the all that work that I never seem to do Damn those teachers, bloody jerks.
Or maybe it's just me Complaining and whingeing. But damn it all! Despite all this thinking, I still have the bloody headache.
I want you to know these things. Perhaps when you're down, you'll see that there is sweetness in life. I plan on doing one person at a time when I feel an overload of love (and I want you to write as well!).
Winnie: ♥you put up with so much bullshit and yet there is relatively little complaining ♥you're gorgeous in that you smile (with your eyes and your lips) although you're upset ♥you care too much for what other people feel and make life difficult for yourself so that someone else can be happier ♥your determination is like a glass of bubbly; its effect is infectious ♥you're a sweet friend and my emphasis here is on friend. You don't mind wasting your patience and time and effort on any relationship and your concern makes me smile (even in maths).
Michelle: ♥'its a beautiful day' when you attempt to have a (not so) awkward conversation with early morning (read: grumpy) me. ♥you are so open minded, accepting and easy to get along with ♥when I stand next to you I feel waves and waves of maturity, poised femininity and grace (ignored the hyena imitations) ♥your imagination is pure genius (I'm so sure of it) ♥you're always such a joy to be around. There is not a wasted breath with you.
>Alice... has never reacted to sweaty me >Emily doesn't even notice when I look like I've just ran in from a thunderstorm on a very hot day. >Eunice doesn't start laughing so hard she can no longer tell me what's funny because of my slight dripping problem. >Jessica looks at my perspiration and doesn't say a thingle sing (intentional). >Michelle pretends she isn't laughing at my home-made Lynx ad replication. >Tiffany has clammy hands and doesn't mind that mine are similarly clammy. >Winnie still pats me even though I'm visibly sweating like a fountain (of youth), smell gross and I am simultaneously sniffing my snot back up and spluttering germs left right and centre. >[sarcastic tone] Vicki decides not to wash her hands in order to preserve my youth dew on her palm. [without sarcasm] Accepts that me and Michelle's pushing are signs of affection. >Victoria doesn't say "ewe...shelLEE"
Now share yours!
Vicki: Friendship is when... -Shelley doesn't mind that I'm invading her personal space, and she comes up with grand plans with me, and when she tugs on my hair, rips up paper and throws it at me, chucks her grape(s) at me and gets grape juice all over my neck -Michelle and I are laughing together :) Or deep in discussion! And she doesn't mind when I'm in one of my (rare) hyper moods and I'm getting a little too close for comfort and I'm trying to be her siamese twin. -Jessica smiles at me when I'm in Maths Ext in the morning and she's standing outside at her locker -Alice attacks me when she's trying to convince Michelle that McFly aren't past their prime, and are still a cool band.

Michelle: Friendship is when... - Shelley educates me in many oddities of life! I never knew people used to pose with corpses in photographs. >< Yes, it's a beautiful thing Shelley... - Vicki flinches from my homicidal pen actions :D Admit it, being stabbed by a ballpoint pen would be an awesome reason to go to hospital for.

I said once (or many times) that school sucks. I still mean it.
I remember when school used to be about going to see your friends and being able to have fun as well as learn. Nowadays it seems that all school does is stress you out and exhaust you to the point where you want to cry in the morning when the alarm rings.
Why is it that we have to go through so many years of school and then, for those of us who want to go to university to study a course so that we can get a good job, we’re forced to go through yet another period of schooling? It’s especially bad for those who want to specialise in medicine, for they have to go through ten or more years to study the particularities of the science, so by the time they’ve finished that, half their life has been about school.
What happened to our social lives? It was flourishing in year 10 when we had activities to keep us occupied. School was more lax in year 10. It just seemed like there was more time for things then. Now our social life has all but gone down the drain and it seems like it only gets worse from there. We don’t have any holidays anymore, as my tutor says, they’re ‘study vacations’, where we’re expected to be studying for the upcoming assessments and tests. And that’s exactly what we’ll find ourselves doing soon.
Just imagine, someone trying to organise something fun for us to do, like go to a movie or just hang out, and none of us can come, the excuse being ‘I’m studying’. That’s going to be the basis of our holidays: studying.
School has taken over our lives. It’s like it’s the alien from a different planet, slowly brainwashing our world, turning us into mindless people who are focused on schooling and work. It paints a very gloomy picture. Just imagine 10 years from now, where we’ll all be too busy with our own lives, with schooling and work, to see each other.
So I say, down with school, starting with the English faculty. :)
(Sorry about the small picture, any bigger and it would be blurry)
(If you can't read or see the picture properly, to the left is a pyramid of cheerleaders. Going from top to bottom, left to right: Jessica Jnr, Vicki, Michelle, Cherry, Emily, Tiffany, Victoria, Shelley, Winnie, Teresa, Alice, Eunice, Jessica Clone's 1,2 and 3. And at the bottom is a crazy me holding a gun. And being hung are: Derry aka Dairy Farmer, Bullivant aka Big Boob [Like Big Bird!], Voss, Reis, The Evil Sub we had today, Brown, Simon aka Big Bear [from Playschool] )
Why must most teenage girls be so utterly fixated on weight, love and entertainment? You'd think that it being an age of rebellion we would be against the whole idea of teenage years which were created to sell products. Products are only sold when we feel inferior and are falsely led to believe that we can not be as 'happy' as another without certain products or if we don't conform to a popular body image. Another rather peculiar notion that has embedded itself in teenage girls everywhere is that if they look a certain way and follow a certain code of conduct, they will inevitably fall in love and live happily ever after. Apparently this extends to klutzy, plain girls and vampires. Entertainment is so closely associated with propaganda I can no longer tell the difference. Why would you ever want to watch something that is going to make you falsely believe that you are of no worth unless you look like a centerfold and dress like a kinderwhore?
The most important thing to takeaway from this is: who cares what you look like, I LOVE YOU.
Another month has past so tell us the good news! Shelley: ♥I'm happy. I have something to hold on to. Something to strive for. I didn't (and still don't) care too much for numbers on bits of paper and this is different. ♥I'm doing my tutoring hw. always ♥I'm seeing the world through a new pair of eyes. I love it. ♥well NIN was a success. I can't stop listening to Billy Talent and Anberlin now so I'm guessing that was also a success. ♥I've realised so much potential, so much to look forward to. I want to burst open and show you my innards!
Eunice: ¶ Thank Goodness for dropping Maths Extension. ¶ My monologue went *rather* smoothly. ¶ Working on my american accent for no particular reason.. ¶ I've managed to get up to page 39 of "Spy Cactcher: The Candid Autobiography of a Senior Intelligence Officer". Hooray. It is so technical and alot of the time I don't know what he's talking about. All these technological thingys. ¶ I haven't been tutoring since year 5. HA. HA. BRILLIANT. I feel high all of a sudden...
Vicki: * I'm starting to really love tutoring. I think it's because I understand now! I do love English tutoring though, English teachers are just so insightful. And I feel like the dots are getting connected for me. *I'm keeping up with my school work, which I know, isn't something to be that proud of, but I'm not falling behind, which is good *I don't feel quite like a fraud in English 1 anymore! I guess they're really not going to burn me at the stake when the realize I'm not really an elite English student, because I sorta am? *I'm starting to really enjoy playing piano. Sometimes it feels like a bit of a chore (especially long practise sessions, but I'm starting to love just playing, and the feeling of the keys beneath my fingers) *And it was the first time I grew a watermelon! :)
It was that tiny (like pea sized), and then over the month, it grew and grew (from pea sized to about eyeball sized, to about tennis ball sized) to the size of about an apple (it only gets about that big). I have photos of all its stages, like a mum with a photo album of the development stages of her kid! Except mums usually don't eat their kids at the end.
For something so small, it sure has a bloody lot of seeds, though that's fun because I could practise seed spitting! Anyway, it's got cream flesh (this is one half of it, I ate half of it before I realized I needed to take a photo) because it's a heirloom variety that doesn't have pink flesh.
I may just be hysterical. As in clinically hysterical. I mean if these aren't the signs then everyone else must be just as bonkers as I am; ♥Sometimes I can just not stop smiling. (I mean when I'm not under the influence of ...you fill in the blank.) Not quite sure what I'm smiling about but it must be absolutely magical. Seriously I have no idea why I get the whole "you're so emo" bullshit when my cheeks are sore from smiling. ♥I'm obsessive. I admitted it...unlike many of you that I know of. I have this strange obsession with details. Sometimes interesting people cross my path and I am simply bursting to devour them (german?cannibal? neither unfortunately), soak up every inch of them. Do you? ♥I have the craziest, disturbing and fantastic daydreams. If you were inside my head you would be so astonished and disgusted it would make your head spin and your bile exit. They are just always so darn innapropriate. And the resulting blushing and smiling and klutziness is always such a darn inconvenient give-away.
Anyway welcome the hysterical me. May you forever be blessed with my inability to frown during these episodes of radom hysterics. Much Much Excessive Love, Lee
That instant in time when you suddenly find what you've been looking for for years? I just had it. It was explosively wonderful and my curiosity and open doors are greater than they have ever been (erm...this year). To the point: I just discovered a magazine that writes about/publishes the majority of my current interests. Deadbeat Magazine; Hot Rods, Pin up, Lowbrow Art, Tattoos, Music.
So what is it that you've suddenly found and loved?
oh and it features Colleen Duffy in all her glam and glory.
I came up with an idea (okay, I didn't really come up with the idea, I got it from Allstars) that Shelley thinks is great too. It's called 'Success of the Month' or 'Appreciation Post'. I figured since we barely see each other anymore, it'll be hard to stay connected, and well, chain mails get lost so often and it's hard to grope around for what to say when we hardly ever see each other besides 'how are you?' and 'which class are you going to?'. This way, we can stay connected, learn about each others successes and celebrate in everyone's achievement. I'll share mine first, and then you just add yours to the bottom of this post. A note from Shelley: please no calorie/kilojoules counting. And don't feel like whatever you have to share is too small (or too big). We're all friends here. :)
Your success can be anything, honestly. As long it's important to you. It can be anything from having done your homework, having passed an exam, having not procrastinated, having reached out to someone else, having stuck to your New Year's Resolution for another month, having kicked a bad habit, having a conversation with a guy, I don't know. I suppose if you really, really feel like you haven't accomplished anything in a month, you don't have to post anything. But I dunno, whatever you share will be celebrated. :)
"Anybody can sympathise with the sufferings of a friend, but it requires a very fine nature to sympathise with a friend's success." - Oscar Wilde
I must admit that I haven't had much practice in handing out compliments, and congratulating people. So yeah, it's something I'm learning to do.
Vicki
Okay, my success of the month, is having finally succeeded in growing lemon cucumbers. Not lemons and cucumbers, but a heirloom variety of cucumbers (called lemon cucumber, because it vaguely resembles a cucumber), because I believe in biodiversity and seed saving for the future generations of the world. I believe in organic food, and growing food without petrochemicals, and sustainable gardening practices. :)
I finally succeeded after failing 16 times. I guess 17th time is the charm, heh. My first 16 attempts at growing them were either aborted by all the leaves of my seedlings getting eaten by slugs, forgetting to water them and having them wilt and die, forgetting to take them out of the sun and having them wilt and die in 35 degree heat, or just having them wilt and die on me for absolutely no reason.
Some photos of my darlings. They're not great photos because it was sunny and you know how I feel about standing in the sun for a long time.
Add yours to the bottom of mine!
Shelley
I'm assuming these are conquests of the month pervious: January. So: ♥I learnt to hula hoop around my waist, my knees, my wrists and on my feet while lying down/on my side. I also learnt some tricks like hula hooping around my waist on an angle and whirling it above my head and bringing it down to my waist. ♥I've been successful in keeping all of my breakfasts since Friday 9th "Shelley's first day of raw action" raw and almost all of my lunches raw. (Except for the occasional holiday temptation and today's veggie wrap). Eventually I plan to rid my world of unpleasant heavy snacks (lindt...mmm...) and then meat and then cooked dinner. ♥I've managed to broaden my horizons, my vision and feed my positivity. oh and block out negativity through selective hearing. ♥I discovered love for pin up and rockabilly and renewed love for horrorpops and devil doll and msi. ♥I got down to business instead of being all talk and no action and landed myself at a music event =). I'm going to refrain from calling it a concert because that sounds uncomfortable and gig sounds "all muso" as Tiff would probably say. ♥I'm excited about doing my work. I'm not even sure that I should be proud of that but I really quite love the link that my english work has with politics and psychology at the moment. Oh, and I'm doing lots of work :). Someday I'll have so much important to say that John's ears will implode and he will be sorry he ever taught me to speak up.
Eunice. I didn't really achieve anything. I just watched alot of DVDs in January: Doctor Who Series 1 & 3, Life on Mars Series 2, Spooks Series 4 & 5, Ashes to Ashes Series 1 and more. I discovered my love of Visage. Great music! Ermm, I was introduced to them through Ashes to Ashes... I bought their CD along with David Bowie, Roxy Music and Soft Cell.
You might not remember but this time last year some of us made new years resolutions. So tell me what failed and what went swimmingly and what changed. Did you find that your goals changed or are they very much the same?
Make a new set of New years resolutions!
S.D.: I have different hair and contacts. I haven't really improved academically. I haven't been as melodramatic and I still don't take anything too seriously. I'm not very healthy ahaha and I still talk a lot of bullshit. I have both black and colour yeah! I don't know if I'm more domineering or dominating.
This year: ♥ decide where I want to be in life career-wise and get there ♥ disregard people that I do not care for / stop wasting time ♥ be my own source of motivation ♥ be a lady / grow up ♥ exercise regularly ♥ read widely
V.L:
Ooh! I'm not really sure how helpful New Years Resolutions are, since I broke my second one from last year in like February. I couldn't help myself! But erm, I did manage to get down to a size 6, and then decide that starving myself was no fun and have bounced back thanks to those squashed marshmellows Shelley (I think squashed marshmellows are actually nicer than non-squashed ones.) and a lot of ice-cream. I think I'm different, more mature, and not as worried about what everyone thinks, because I've realized it actually really doesn't matter. I'm in a really good place now after a few rocky months, but that's all been sorted out, and I don't think I'm going to make many resolutions because I already have personal goals that I'm working towards. :)
Just one: ♥ Be happy!

<3 Wii's Hehe after i read back on my last years resolution i realised they didn't really influence me to do anything that's not the norm. But yes i guess i did achieve many of those resolutions. Lets see... well i did get a new hair cut ^^ *beams* and i guess my grades in year 11 were pretty good, i didn't really lose weight, well i did expand my vocab , i mean even one word is counted as fulfulling that one.
But yes this year my resolution is to try my best for the hsc year and to have loads fun after. My motto : Work hard and party hard

So in Physics today we were discussing how technological advances were made mostly due to war and the desire to kill things (yadda yadda yeah I know. Let's not argue) and then somehow we started talking about SARS.
So I was doing English homework which related to philosophy (to be more exact, authenticity) and came across this.
I think its interesting. And if we were all to take advice from that article, we'd all be more interesting, attractive people. Wouldn't that be nice?
And yes. I was doing English homework D:
30 October 2009
Hello. I have found yet another thing to do with my time. Instead of doing this, I should be doing my tutoring work, but of course, I am the master of procrastination. I can literally just sit in front of my computer and stare at the screen to get out of doing work. Anyway. That's not the point.
I was wondering if it was possible to actually write up a study planner for each day and actually stick to it. I mean, the way I'm going right now...I'm going to end up failing my HSC because I never planned my days properly, nor did I actually do any substantial work. If fact, the only work that I've actually done today is my maths work...which is due on Monday, partly because I didn't want to start my tutoring work.
For shame.
Anyway study planner. I need one. Perhaps I should buy one...anyone know where I can get a nice one?
Hello...lo...lo...lo Hi. -rant- 'Why?' you may ask, 'Should we resurrect this little private blog thing?' But let's face it, being "independently minded young women" really means that we're passive agressive and that we don't ask questions in class very often (yes I have to have a go at you in every post). So I'm pretty sure that none of you were actually wondering why I'm attempting to resurrect a dead blog about...attractive dead men... um ANYWAY, the answer is: MEEEEEEE
*points at head* Yeeeaaaahhh...you know what this is about. This is about me having difficulty being unique on my own. Because I don't want to be different. But I don't want to be like everyone else. I don't want to eb unique but everyone else has to be unique with me because otherwise I'd feel like the black sheep and everyone else would look at me funny. But if everyone else was unique like me then I wouldn't be unique unless I tried not to be unique. AHAHahaha I'm kidding. -end rant-
Well I wasn't really kidding that much. I'm just trying to turn this into one of those articles that sort of goes in circles and you never quite know if they're going in circles because they sort of go of on tangents about turds and that douche bag over there with the fingers that smell like...
ANYWAY. the point is.... I guess the main thing I'm trying to get across is...
Let's all dye our hair unnatural colours. I'm talking all the Special Effects colours...apart from pitch black. So blues, oranges, yellows, pinks, purples, lemons, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries. I'm hungry can you tell? WHO'S WITH ME!?!?! EH? .... EH???
fine. humph. you bastards.
I'll do it if you do it ^^ but yeah you do need to bleach first. It's times like these I wish I was born as an albino.
How cool would it be to go out as a group huh? we'd look like...asians with strange hair!
Oh yeah and I'm really glad we're not the angsty teen group with our own private angsty blogs where we talk about really angsty shit that noone wants to read about anyway. I'm so over the angsty crap ^^ zero-tolerance.

Well I learnt a lot more..but these are the three that come to mind:
1. The only asians are tourists. 2. I hate queues. I blame Vicki. 3. No one in my family can read a map, except for me. Many u-turns were made, many cars beeped their horns at us because my dad was driving really slowly..lots of yelling.
Say you worked for the establishment...oh yes the evil establishment, what would you wear?
Lee: Pride - by nancyandtoy on Polyvore.com Akira was all about her lips. They were a ripe, luscious red in full bloom. When they parted, you could see the small sharp teeth that drew blood in her nervous states. She's hunting down the perfect pout to lure the hopelessly romantic.
Are Earl Grey tea bags married? Not exactly "Corporate Whore" but the establishment all the same. Tea - by smackerals on Polyvore.com
I would like to take this space to congratulate all of us for constantly posting ( and to finally get an account.It has been 6 months and 12 days since we established this blog ^^ Hasn't time flown.
Happy Belated 6 Months hotdeadmen . . . . . . . doesn't that just sound a lil weird?
Just wondering this while i was studying for legal ^^ See aren't i a good girl, i'm studying? Ok that wasn't the question.
The question is:
Would you go through with euthanasia if you knew you were terminally ill *touchwood* ?
Of course we're just assuming that it was legal. ^^
Oh and if you want you can answer if you think it should be legal in Australia?
Winnie Hm i think i would try to enjoy every last day of my life and try to fulfill all the things on my 'to do list.' However if i knew that the pain i would be going through excruciating pain i would consider it.. i guess... I think it should be legal people deserve to decide on how their life should end. ^^
Lee: I would not consider euthanasia unless my condition was influencing the quality of other people's lives. By that I mean, if it was becoming incredibly expensive to keep me alive or people are distraught when they see me in a weak condition etc. I'd like to write a book or give speeches about my life at that point so that I can positively influence people and encourage them to be brave or 'carpe diem'. I'd want to use every moment wisely though. Just imagine if you did that now. I think the book Soul Mountain is relevant here. Anyone read it? I think it should be legal but very strictly controlled.
Vtoffeef. I'll just go with the flow and make my mind up whenever. I'll do what I feel is right and what must be done. I would NEVER write a book about my life. I wouldn't want to bore anyone to tears. ahem. Sally Morgan. Yes, you were against great odds etc. etc. Good for bloody you. Keep your satisfaction to yourself. There's no need to be so smug.
Jess: How on earth did this come up while you were studying for legal? Anyway, I think I would go with it. But not before trying, as you said, to enjoy life. I think I'd like to do stuff that I'd never gotten to do, and then go around saying goodbye to everyone and writing letters to all of you before going through with it.
Contrary to popular belief: - I'm not EMO. How can I possibly be emo if you can't define the term properly? Emo is a genre of music that I don't listen to and never have had any interest in. Any other sense of the word relates to the word's connotations and they extend to self mutilation, trashy attitude and depression. None of these have any relation to me whatsoever. - I'm not Satanic. I don't belong the the Church of Satan and I'm not even pagan. Satan is part of the belief of religion and I'm not religious so it could not possibly be that I worship Satan. And even if I did, you would think I'd have the sense to keep it to myself. Obviously (or not so obviously as it would seem) I'm dripping with sarcasm when I say "I love Satan". - I don't listen to Screamo. I don't like any band that has been described as screamo before. Honestly do a little research before you decide 'Well... she wears too much black and listens to heavy stuff and the only genre I know that fits is screamo so that must be it because I'm an ignorant pisspot who knows nothing of that which is outside the bubble I live in and I'm far too mindfucked to learn.'
I’m sick of people who are quick to the conclusion that I must be emo, satanic and in love with screamo. I find it offensive and I don’t believe that I should have to put up with people who time and time again express their false assumptions in criticising tones even though they have been corrected. If I don’t (tactlessly) voice my opinions of you as an insolent brat lacking in all departments but that of idiocy, then I see no reason why you can not do the same.
[This isn't directed at just one person...the majority are in fact, to blame.] -end rant-
Its odd that when I start smiling, people ask me "what's wrong", "what's so funny?" or just give me the o.0 look. So here is the answer to your question whatever it may be. And someday, hopefully you'l make the same [dramatic?] change. ♥Lee
Due to our poetry study at school my imaginative juices have started to run again. Either it was that or it was the sheer boredom of maths but i have composed this lovely poem. The subject of the poem is shelley and i .
Roses are red Violets are blue I can't cook But nor can you.
Please post your lovely pieces of poetry or anything else you have come up with xD.
Ever since he was born, Sean loved to watch porn on the lawn at dawn.
lee's version of the previous poem (yes i'm highly unoriginal)
Ever since he was born, Sigmund loved to watch porn, he fucked on the lawn and was dead by dawn. (it was Chlamydia)...
Jess:
I'm sitting here wondering if you'd ever forgive me. I did not mean to eat you It's just that you were so tasty. Your blood dribbled down my chin And onto my lap. Now I'm wondering if it'd be worth the trouble You'd give me if I ate your brain.
It started off as Sunday Wasted the day, Moved to Monday Sat in front of the computer, Burning my eyes Good gracious it's Tuesday Slept the day away Flipped over the calendar Revealed it was Wednesday School dragged another page off Thursday came too soon Went back to bed, Too tired to open my eyes Checked my phone Showed it was Friday Dreaded the next day For it was tutoring. Stayed awake the whole night Trying to stop the sun coming up I was too late. Sister told me it was Saturday Brain melted from maths Wished it was Sunday.
I do believe my brain has melted, but where did the headache come from? Not from my head, for I have no brain. Not from my body for I have no ache. Perhaps it was another who gave me this pain.
School has melted my brain, and the tests have not come yet. It must be the all that work that I never seem to do Damn those teachers, bloody jerks.
Or maybe it's just me Complaining and whingeing. But damn it all! Despite all this thinking, I still have the bloody headache.
I want you to know these things. Perhaps when you're down, you'll see that there is sweetness in life. I plan on doing one person at a time when I feel an overload of love (and I want you to write as well!).
Winnie: ♥you put up with so much bullshit and yet there is relatively little complaining ♥you're gorgeous in that you smile (with your eyes and your lips) although you're upset ♥you care too much for what other people feel and make life difficult for yourself so that someone else can be happier ♥your determination is like a glass of bubbly; its effect is infectious ♥you're a sweet friend and my emphasis here is on friend. You don't mind wasting your patience and time and effort on any relationship and your concern makes me smile (even in maths).
Michelle: ♥'its a beautiful day' when you attempt to have a (not so) awkward conversation with early morning (read: grumpy) me. ♥you are so open minded, accepting and easy to get along with ♥when I stand next to you I feel waves and waves of maturity, poised femininity and grace (ignored the hyena imitations) ♥your imagination is pure genius (I'm so sure of it) ♥you're always such a joy to be around. There is not a wasted breath with you.
>Alice... has never reacted to sweaty me >Emily doesn't even notice when I look like I've just ran in from a thunderstorm on a very hot day. >Eunice doesn't start laughing so hard she can no longer tell me what's funny because of my slight dripping problem. >Jessica looks at my perspiration and doesn't say a thingle sing (intentional). >Michelle pretends she isn't laughing at my home-made Lynx ad replication. >Tiffany has clammy hands and doesn't mind that mine are similarly clammy. >Winnie still pats me even though I'm visibly sweating like a fountain (of youth), smell gross and I am simultaneously sniffing my snot back up and spluttering germs left right and centre. >[sarcastic tone] Vicki decides not to wash her hands in order to preserve my youth dew on her palm. [without sarcasm] Accepts that me and Michelle's pushing are signs of affection. >Victoria doesn't say "ewe...shelLEE"
Now share yours!
Vicki: Friendship is when... -Shelley doesn't mind that I'm invading her personal space, and she comes up with grand plans with me, and when she tugs on my hair, rips up paper and throws it at me, chucks her grape(s) at me and gets grape juice all over my neck -Michelle and I are laughing together :) Or deep in discussion! And she doesn't mind when I'm in one of my (rare) hyper moods and I'm getting a little too close for comfort and I'm trying to be her siamese twin. -Jessica smiles at me when I'm in Maths Ext in the morning and she's standing outside at her locker -Alice attacks me when she's trying to convince Michelle that McFly aren't past their prime, and are still a cool band.

Michelle: Friendship is when... - Shelley educates me in many oddities of life! I never knew people used to pose with corpses in photographs. >< Yes, it's a beautiful thing Shelley... - Vicki flinches from my homicidal pen actions :D Admit it, being stabbed by a ballpoint pen would be an awesome reason to go to hospital for. Oh, and almost always being a sane person to talk to! :) - Alice pokes my cheeks and says Pop! Random huggles are lovely too. - Jessica is an entertainer at english even though my face says i'm not being entertained. - Tiffany put up with my awful singing at her party!! - Eunice doesn't move away when she just happens to sit next to me when I'm crazy and burping. - Emily is an adorable sweetheart and brightens my mood when she says hello! - Victoria, ooh sharing those delicious Japanese candy with us. - Winnie inspires me to be fob as she is so pretty now!
<3 Winnie's Friendship is when: - Emily doesn't complain everytime i glare at her when she says something weird or wrong. (Sorry em i dont mean to glare ^^) - Shelley listens to all the weird things i do and not only is she not scared she is worried about me. - Victoria is on her highs, which is oh so infectious. - Tiffany becomes more and more fobbier due to my influence. - Eunice informs us of interesting things. - Vicki when she doesnt complain when i forget to bring the pooh costume. - Alice when she listens intently to my weird ideas in English about a poem. - Jessica when she rememebers little details that you tell her. - Michelle when she smiles as it is so pretty.
Eunice's > Alice calls me an alien. > Emily ignores all those obscene words. > Jessica puts up with my random laughing and singing. > Michelle puts up with my sneezing at recess. > Shelley lets me insult her. > Tiffany lets me insult her music. > Vicki lets me butt into your interesting conversations with Michelle because I'm rather nosy. > Victoria is resistant to my insanity. > Winnie didn't mind me singing horribly at DOE camp.
I said once (or many times) that school sucks. I still mean it.
I remember when school used to be about going to see your friends and being able to have fun as well as learn. Nowadays it seems that all school does is stress you out and exhaust you to the point where you want to cry in the morning when the alarm rings.
Why is it that we have to go through so many years of school and then, for those of us who want to go to university to study a course so that we can get a good job, we’re forced to go through yet another period of schooling? It’s especially bad for those who want to specialise in medicine, for they have to go through ten or more years to study the particularities of the science, so by the time they’ve finished that, half their life has been about school.
What happened to our social lives? It was flourishing in year 10 when we had activities to keep us occupied. School was more lax in year 10. It just seemed like there was more time for things then. Now our social life has all but gone down the drain and it seems like it only gets worse from there. We don’t have any holidays anymore, as my tutor says, they’re ‘study vacations’, where we’re expected to be studying for the upcoming assessments and tests. And that’s exactly what we’ll find ourselves doing soon.
Just imagine, someone trying to organise something fun for us to do, like go to a movie or just hang out, and none of us can come, the excuse being ‘I’m studying’. That’s going to be the basis of our holidays: studying.
School has taken over our lives. It’s like it’s the alien from a different planet, slowly brainwashing our world, turning us into mindless people who are focused on schooling and work. It paints a very gloomy picture. Just imagine 10 years from now, where we’ll all be too busy with our own lives, with schooling and work, to see each other.
So I say, down with school, starting with the English faculty. :)
(Sorry about the small picture, any bigger and it would be blurry)
(If you can't read or see the picture properly, to the left is a pyramid of cheerleaders. Going from top to bottom, left to right: Jessica Jnr, Vicki, Michelle, Cherry, Emily, Tiffany, Victoria, Shelley, Winnie, Teresa, Alice, Eunice, Jessica Clone's 1,2 and 3. And at the bottom is a crazy me holding a gun. And being hung are: Derry aka Dairy Farmer, Bullivant aka Big Boob [Like Big Bird!], Voss, Reis, The Evil Sub we had today, Brown, Simon aka Big Bear [from Playschool] )
Why must most teenage girls be so utterly fixated on weight, love and entertainment? You'd think that it being an age of rebellion we would be against the whole idea of teenage years which were created to sell products. Products are only sold when we feel inferior and are falsely led to believe that we can not be as 'happy' as another without certain products or if we don't conform to a popular body image. Another rather peculiar notion that has embedded itself in teenage girls everywhere is that if they look a certain way and follow a certain code of conduct, they will inevitably fall in love and live happily ever after. Apparently this extends to klutzy, plain girls and vampires. Entertainment is so closely associated with propaganda I can no longer tell the difference. Why would you ever want to watch something that is going to make you falsely believe that you are of no worth unless you look like a centerfold and dress like a kinderwhore?
The most important thing to takeaway from this is: who cares what you look like, I LOVE YOU.
Another month has past so tell us the good news! Shelley: ♥I'm happy. I have something to hold on to. Something to strive for. I didn't (and still don't) care too much for numbers on bits of paper and this is different. ♥I'm doing my tutoring hw. always ♥I'm seeing the world through a new pair of eyes. I love it. ♥well NIN was a success. I can't stop listening to Billy Talent and Anberlin now so I'm guessing that was also a success. ♥I've realised so much potential, so much to look forward to. I want to burst open and show you my innards!
Eunice: ¶ Thank Goodness for dropping Maths Extension. ¶ My monologue went *rather* smoothly. ¶ Working on my american accent for no particular reason.. ¶ I've managed to get up to page 39 of "Spy Cactcher: The Candid Autobiography of a Senior Intelligence Officer". Hooray. It is so technical and alot of the time I don't know what he's talking about. All these technological thingys. ¶ I haven't been tutoring since year 5. HA. HA. BRILLIANT. I feel high all of a sudden...
Vicki: * I'm starting to really love tutoring. I think it's because I understand now! I do love English tutoring though, English teachers are just so insightful. And I feel like the dots are getting connected for me. *I'm keeping up with my school work, which I know, isn't something to be that proud of, but I'm not falling behind, which is good *I don't feel quite like a fraud in English 1 anymore! I guess they're really not going to burn me at the stake when the realize I'm not really an elite English student, because I sorta am? *I'm starting to really enjoy playing piano. Sometimes it feels like a bit of a chore (especially long practise sessions, but I'm starting to love just playing, and the feeling of the keys beneath my fingers) *And it was the first time I grew a watermelon! :)
It was that tiny (like pea sized), and then over the month, it grew and grew (from pea sized to about eyeball sized, to about tennis ball sized) to the size of about an apple (it only gets about that big). I have photos of all its stages, like a mum with a photo album of the development stages of her kid! Except mums usually don't eat their kids at the end.
For something so small, it sure has a bloody lot of seeds, though that's fun because I could practise seed spitting! Anyway, it's got cream flesh (this is one half of it, I ate half of it before I realized I needed to take a photo) because it's a heirloom variety that doesn't have pink flesh.
I may just be hysterical. As in clinically hysterical. I mean if these aren't the signs then everyone else must be just as bonkers as I am; ♥Sometimes I can just not stop smiling. (I mean when I'm not under the influence of ...you fill in the blank.) Not quite sure what I'm smiling about but it must be absolutely magical. Seriously I have no idea why I get the whole "you're so emo" bullshit when my cheeks are sore from smiling. ♥I'm obsessive. I admitted it...unlike many of you that I know of. I have this strange obsession with details. Sometimes interesting people cross my path and I am simply bursting to devour them (german?cannibal? neither unfortunately), soak up every inch of them. Do you? ♥I have the craziest, disturbing and fantastic daydreams. If you were inside my head you would be so astonished and disgusted it would make your head spin and your bile exit. They are just always so darn innapropriate. And the resulting blushing and smiling and klutziness is always such a darn inconvenient give-away.
Anyway welcome the hysterical me. May you forever be blessed with my inability to frown during these episodes of radom hysterics. Much Much Excessive Love, Lee
That instant in time when you suddenly find what you've been looking for for years? I just had it. It was explosively wonderful and my curiosity and open doors are greater than they have ever been (erm...this year). To the point: I just discovered a magazine that writes about/publishes the majority of my current interests. Deadbeat Magazine; Hot Rods, Pin up, Lowbrow Art, Tattoos, Music.
So what is it that you've suddenly found and loved?
oh and it features Colleen Duffy in all her glam and glory.
I came up with an idea (okay, I didn't really come up with the idea, I got it from Allstars) that Shelley thinks is great too. It's called 'Success of the Month' or 'Appreciation Post'. I figured since we barely see each other anymore, it'll be hard to stay connected, and well, chain mails get lost so often and it's hard to grope around for what to say when we hardly ever see each other besides 'how are you?' and 'which class are you going to?'. This way, we can stay connected, learn about each others successes and celebrate in everyone's achievement. I'll share mine first, and then you just add yours to the bottom of this post. A note from Shelley: please no calorie/kilojoules counting. And don't feel like whatever you have to share is too small (or too big). We're all friends here. :)
Your success can be anything, honestly. As long it's important to you. It can be anything from having done your homework, having passed an exam, having not procrastinated, having reached out to someone else, having stuck to your New Year's Resolution for another month, having kicked a bad habit, having a conversation with a guy, I don't know. I suppose if you really, really feel like you haven't accomplished anything in a month, you don't have to post anything. But I dunno, whatever you share will be celebrated. :)
"Anybody can sympathise with the sufferings of a friend, but it requires a very fine nature to sympathise with a friend's success." - Oscar Wilde
I must admit that I haven't had much practice in handing out compliments, and congratulating people. So yeah, it's something I'm learning to do.
Vicki
Okay, my success of the month, is having finally succeeded in growing lemon cucumbers. Not lemons and cucumbers, but a heirloom variety of cucumbers (called lemon cucumber, because it vaguely resembles a cucumber), because I believe in biodiversity and seed saving for the future generations of the world. I believe in organic food, and growing food without petrochemicals, and sustainable gardening practices. :)
I finally succeeded after failing 16 times. I guess 17th time is the charm, heh. My first 16 attempts at growing them were either aborted by all the leaves of my seedlings getting eaten by slugs, forgetting to water them and having them wilt and die, forgetting to take them out of the sun and having them wilt and die in 35 degree heat, or just having them wilt and die on me for absolutely no reason.
Some photos of my darlings. They're not great photos because it was sunny and you know how I feel about standing in the sun for a long time.
Add yours to the bottom of mine!
Shelley
I'm assuming these are conquests of the month pervious: January. So: ♥I learnt to hula hoop around my waist, my knees, my wrists and on my feet while lying down/on my side. I also learnt some tricks like hula hooping around my waist on an angle and whirling it above my head and bringing it down to my waist. ♥I've been successful in keeping all of my breakfasts since Friday 9th "Shelley's first day of raw action" raw and almost all of my lunches raw. (Except for the occasional holiday temptation and today's veggie wrap). Eventually I plan to rid my world of unpleasant heavy snacks (lindt...mmm...) and then meat and then cooked dinner. ♥I've managed to broaden my horizons, my vision and feed my positivity. oh and block out negativity through selective hearing. ♥I discovered love for pin up and rockabilly and renewed love for horrorpops and devil doll and msi. ♥I got down to business instead of being all talk and no action and landed myself at a music event =). I'm going to refrain from calling it a concert because that sounds uncomfortable and gig sounds "all muso" as Tiff would probably say. ♥I'm excited about doing my work. I'm not even sure that I should be proud of that but I really quite love the link that my english work has with politics and psychology at the moment. Oh, and I'm doing lots of work :). Someday I'll have so much important to say that John's ears will implode and he will be sorry he ever taught me to speak up.
Eunice. I didn't really achieve anything. I just watched alot of DVDs in January: Doctor Who Series 1 & 3, Life on Mars Series 2, Spooks Series 4 & 5, Ashes to Ashes Series 1 and more. I discovered my love of Visage. Great music! Ermm, I was introduced to them through Ashes to Ashes... I bought their CD along with David Bowie, Roxy Music and Soft Cell.
