Ah, the things we think we hear when our ears deceive us. Phantomess thought I said this when actually I said, "He ticks me off so much" referring to a particularly annoying child in Year 9 at my school.
I'm in a pretty good mood this afternoon so no depressing rants for you! Ha! Anyways, I am going to use this post to document the random junk that's going on here and the work, or lack thereof, that I am doing.
I have David Harris' EPIC riff from his cover of Save The Last Dance For Me stuck in my head. Zomg. So good.
What are you talking about? No... I am not checking several websites as well as looking up [title of show] songs instead of working on my Physics Assignment Draft. No.....
Aw. As soon as I hop on the computer (Woah. Weird mental image of a bunny literally hopping on my laptop...), I open up all the fun, social network, leisurey sites and check them, read them etc. before my internet gets slow. It is now officially slowing down. Shoot. Me. Now.
So, I have all of these sticky notes with lists and reminders pegged, with actual pegs, to this grid like thing on my bed. I have a bunk bed with a desk underneath and when you look up, from the desk, there is a grid. Mine is covered in random things and now, because of my genius epiphany last night, reminders pegged on. Yep, I am one organised chick.
I'm so into lists lately. Nearly every afternoon I will rip a piece of paper out of one of my many notepads (I am a stationery freak) and write a list with little boxes to put ticks in. The lists consist of things like homework, assignments and specific aspects of assignments to do. They work though, because I don't want to leave boxes un-ticked (No, spellcheck, not "unlicked") at the end of the day.
GAH. I HATES SLOW INTERNETS.
Youtube is being like, relatively quick and stuff. Hey there youtube. I appreciate your cooperation in this matter. I CAN HAZ [TITLE OF SHOW] MUSIC!
So, Phantomess and I were in spare today "doing Music Extension assignments". Translation: we were listening to songs from [tos]. I laughed and Crazy Librarian came along. She monitors spare lessons and takes her job very seriously. I believe she has an in-built radar for the sole purpose of hearing my laughter. Apparently, if I laugh, it is a sign that me and all those around me are off-task. Sorry guys :)
Anywho, Crazy Librarian comes along and is all, "What are you doing? I heard Clearly Unfocused laughing." Phantomess, the brilliant improviser that she is was all, "Oh sorry. I was getting her to listen to some songs from a musical that I'm studying for Music Extension," and Crazy Librarian was all, "Oh. So it's for your assignment?" To which we answered, "Yes," and she left, proceeding in some great laughter from us.
Oh my gosh. KEY CHANGE! I LOVE this musical and am SO excited to be seeing it with my pals.
Ok, who wouldn't love a show that has a song that says, "It's the opening song. It doesn't have a name and it's not very long"? And, come on! They sing about adding syncopation in a syncopated rhythm. The muso in me loves that.
Last [tos] reference. Die, Vampires, Die! is SUCH an inspirational song. SO funny but so heartwarming and inspirational and just WOW. LOOK IT UP. WARNING: COARSE LANGUAGE.
Wow, I actually bought my Physics notebook home. Huh, I thought ahead. I applaud my former (from like, 2 hours ago) self. IMMA TYPE UP SOME PHYSICS NOW.
I hate typing up Maths and equations. It looks dumb. I like it handwritten. But I can't hand in my handwritten, messy, all-over-the-place Physics stuff. Icky.
Oh, heck yes! Typed up the stuff that Mr T&C (or C&T. Whatever floats your boat) told me today. Suck it.
Now what?
So, like, my school's gonna be on TV for some Driver Education thing and the UN chose us. I have no clue at all why, but hey, it's getting us out of some class and Phantomess has to talk to them and yeah. TV. Whoop.
Oooh. I should do some Music Extension. But what I should do and what I will do are two very different things, haha.
I need to practice my instruments too. Mmm. Later. Now for... Music Extension, I suppose.
That wonderful moment when you close your Physics assignment and THEN remember something else you've got to do on it. Eughk.
That great moment when Phantomess is as addicted to [title of show] as you so neither of you are helping each other work.
This Music Extension assignment is so boring and depressing. I look at it and go, "Seriously. This hasn't been handed in yet? You mean, I have to work on it more?"
Wow. I've really got to stop listening to [tos] now. I need to work. Like, badly.
I just closed youtube. Applaud me now.
...
I can't hear you.

2nd-8th May 2011
A really epic leaf on an epic picnic blanket. It was hard to choose just one photo for this week because I took heaps today and liked quite a few of them. I chose this one, however, because I just love all the colours in it. Yes, this was edited because I liked editing, but the original was also so colourful. I edited it to try and brighten it a bit more.

I Dreamed About You Last Night, Schroeder
^ The first line of the comic for the weekend on my Peanuts desk calender ^
Now for my list of strange quirks of mine, and whatnot.
1. Ice. I love ice. No, not the drug. You know, frozen water, usually in a cube-like shape. OM NOM NOM. I will often, most often is summer but all year round, grab a cup, fill it with ice, pour a little water or juice into it, drink the water or juice really fast and then sit around munching on ice. My nanna once warned me about breaking my teeth, but you know. I love eating ice too much.
2. Winter. I LOVE WINTER. I love wearing jeans and hoodies and my sneakers. I absolutely adore that feeling when you wake up in the morning and it's all dark and you are all snuggled up in a doona. Of course, it's a million times better when you don't have to wake up to go to school. I am so excited around now, cause it's nearly Winter. But also sad, because it's not quite Winter and the weather here can't decide whether it's hot or cold.
3. So, I am pretty much in love with wearing my lame, cheap, Bonds green and black stripy hoodie. Seriously, I love it and it's probably one of my favourite items of clothing.
4. I cannot drink Coke unless it is ice cold, with ice. I know many Coke lovers who hate having it from McDonald's because it's watered down and they fill half the cup with ice. That is exactly how I love it. Yummy. Or, in a glass at home half filled with ice. As soon as it gets slightly warm, I don't like it and cannot drink it. Similar with other soft drinks, but mainly coke. And actually, pretty similar with Orange Juice lately...
5. I have developed a thing for old cars. I love vintage cars. A light blue 1950s Chevrolet is my absolute dream car, but I like old, kinda cruddy looking cars too. I like old cars with chipped paint jobs...
6. Really old things creep me out. And history. Learning about dead people both interests me and creeps the heck out of me. I remember going to Old Parliament House when I was about 10. I got so creeped out walking around thinking, "People used to be in here. People used to work in here. People who are probably dead now," I don't know why, but I got freaked out. I always do get freaked out in old buildings and learning about history. *shudder*
7. I believe sushi is one of the best things ever created. Ever. I used to be all, "Um. Seaweed wrapped around rice and raw fish?? Ew. No thanks," and then I tasted it. Oh. My. Gosh. I have never turned back. Once you go sushi you never go back...? So, I crave sushi all the time now. Whenever we are at a shopping centreand going to get some lunch I automatically go, "IS THERE A SUSHI PLACE?" I am not terribly adventurous and always eat prawn, chicken, avocado or crab ones. But still. SO GOOD. Dang, I want sushi now.
8. Cheesecake is another one of the best things ever created. Like, yum, much? Mouthwatering stuff. Whoever created that is a genius.
9. I shall try to stop talking bout my favourite foods but a shout-out must be made to the Mexicans. I have always adored tacos, burritos and nachos. I have been recently introduced to the wonders of the quesadilla and love them too. My favourites a probably tacos, though. We always use to get out a towel and put it on the floor in front of the TV. My brothers and I would sit on the towel when eating our tacos because, even eating over plates, we would spill food everywhere. I'm not as bad now, but tacos are seriously messy.
10. I have some weird thing about hair. Not like a hair fetish, but I always want my hair to look right. I am always annoyed when I get a bad haircut and feel wonderful when I get a good one. I know that's normal, but I honestly worry while getting my haircut that it won't look perfect. I always look at people's hair in public too. I like different styles and colours and seeing them all on different people.
11. I may hate people, but I like people watching. It's probably why the city is one of my favourite places ever. I love sitting or walking around seeing so many people in different outfits, with different hair, with different people and different facial expressions. You have no idea what they are going to do, what they are thinking, what they are feeling and what's going on in their lives. I like that there are so many people with so many different stories.
12. I hate the country. Well, maybe not hate. I mean, it has some nice qualities to it, but I don't like the fact that you can walk down a street and you know everyone and everyone knows you. It's the opposite to the city. You know everyone's stories. My grandparents live in a country town and my grandma knows the stories of a lot of people. There isn't the anonymity that there is in the city. Also, there's nothing to do there. Ugh.
13. I have the tendency to tell people when a song is stuck in my head. It's a habit that annoys me, but probably annoys those I tell more.
14. I am most confident singing around my brothers. Weird, but I don't like singing around other people. I will only sing fully loud and proud of my suckishness when around my two little brothers.
15. I get side tracked extremely easily. I will be in the middle of a story to someone, or more commonly in the middle of a sentence, and just stop. I suddenly completely forget everything I was saying. Most commonly with my parents, I will stare at something for a long time and then go, "Wait, what was I talking about?" When with my friends however, the give me strange looks and stand there going, "And......?"
16. I hate breakfast. Worst meal of the day. I can never find anything I want to eat. I can get really hungry but, unless I can cook bacon and eggs, I don't want to eat anything. I have discovered that if I eat a bit of breakfast, I will be so hungry very quickly whereas if I eat no breakfast, I won't be as hungry as quickly. Yeah. That makes sense.
17. I talk to inanimate objects. When my computer is working slowly I will talk to it as if it is a dog and say, "Come on. You can do it..." It doesn't usually listen to me which results in me trying to control my anger and not bash it up.
18. I don't like dogs. Or cats. Or birds. You see, I like them. In theory. They are cute and cuddly and cool and all but I do not like them when they are real and alive and around me. Jumpy dogs freak me out. I think cats will scratch me and birds just kinda freak me out in general. If they are around me.
19. I kinda like bugs. As long as they don't fly. I hate flying bugs. Well, most flying things. I hate flies with a passion. Detest them. I don't mind cockroaches though. Yeah, I saw a really big fast one the other day and jumped and flipped out like a little girl, but generally I don't mind them. I also don't like butterflies much. They are pretty and lovely unless they are near me. Their fast flapping wings has always kinda freaked me out.
20. When I was younger, I used to love all the cute, funny, often stupid characters in TV shows. Now, I love the serious, cynical ones with dry senses of humour.
21. Until a year or two ago, I didn't like lasagne or meringues. I'm not quite sure what was wrong with me.
22. I am often ashamed to say, but I love The Princess Diaries book series. It sounds so juvenile, which is probably why I never like to promote it, but it's not. They are actually really good and flipping hilarious. I totes own the 10 book collection. Except book 5. I need it just because it annoys me to be missing a book. And yes, I have read the first book over 5 times and it still makes me laugh...
23. I used to think anime was stupid. I am now addicted.
24. I don't like steak.
25. I love chicken. A lot. OM NOM NOM
26. I still like some cartoon kids movies like Toy Story, Shrek, Cars, The Lion King and often feel the compulsion to sit down and watch them. I will admit that I absolutely loved Toy Story 3.
27. I love the smell of garlic. Seriously. I would always like to smell the bottle of minced garlic we always had in the fridge. Yummy...
28. Sunglasses always look funny on me... As do hats. I always used to try on my mum's glasses when I was younger and I thought I look older and smarter in them. They made everything look heaps close though, so I didn't wear them for long.
29. I have a habit of starting to use a phrase or word or slang a little bit and then end up using it WAY too much. Lately it has been 'LOL' even though that annys me, 'Fml' thanks to Gojo, 'OMG' even though that also annoys me and, probably most annoying of all, I have gotten into the habit of talking like a LOLCAT. I can haz bad grammar? I used to hate them. I'd talk like them to mock them a bit and now I can't stop. Now I find them so stupid and pointless it's hilarious. I have annoyed Tenuto Tuo on many an occasion with this.
30. I say 'dude' WAY too much. I call everyone dude and often 'man' as well. Regardless of gender or context or relationship or anything. I start a great portion of my sentences with 'dude' and end a smaller portion of them with 'man'.
I'm done now. Because I hear dinner being served. And I did no work. Heh.
Now for my list of strange quirks of mine, and whatnot.
1. Ice. I love ice. No, not the drug. You know, frozen water, usually in a cube-like shape. OM NOM NOM. I will often, most often is summer but all year round, grab a cup, fill it with ice, pour a little water or juice into it, drink the water or juice really fast and then sit around munching on ice.

Books... Are For... People Who... Like To... Read...
So, before giving y'all the context behind my post title, I shall outline my day. Whether you care or not.
Band: Meh. Pretty lame but hey, I got chocolate so it's all good.
Maths: Pretty good. Maths is actually pretty fun lately. Only because I... don't... really.... do any work. Heh. I did, however, neglect a good friend of mine, Old Man, and it was intentional. I'm not quite sure why, but I didn't feel like explaining the work to him because a) I can't explain well, b) it always makes sense to me and c) it never makes sense to him. Quite a mean reason to not talk to someone but I felt like chatting with my lady friends (*wink*wink* Jks) about the formal etc.
Music: HAHAHA! Had a performing assessment and it was quite the failure. So, Tenuto Tuo's piece was transposed wrong, so he, with the help of our teacher, had to rewrite it. We had to change a bit of Gojo's piece because she had a clashing note. Phantomess was completely dying and could barely breathe next to me and I completely butchered a whole important solo section so that you could hear everyone else playing the not-so-important backing and the occasional note from me. Yeah.
English: Meh. I guess it was good, because he didn't read the homework that I wrote in Morning Tea, just before the lesson. He just looked at it. He did try and get us into a moral debate, however, and I did not engage in this. I mean, like I ever do.
Physics: Ugh. Alright, I guess. Got completely frazzled (I should definitely use that word more often) by my assignment and my teacher was all, "I can't spoon feed you guys anymore," and my reaction was basically !@#$. I told him I didn't get any of it and he told me to come to school early and he'll help me. If that's not spoon feeding, I don't know what is. We managed to talk to him about the formal for ages and then Miss Invisible FINALLY got our experiment working. In the last two minutes of class. Just in time to pack it up. Oh well.
Instrumental: Wow. Yeah. Phantomess and I told Instrumental Teacher all our issues and how we don't like instrumental and how it gives us self-esteem issues etc. She was all O_o and then basically told us we have issues and that's dumb to feel bad because we don't suck. Then we had a REALLY (that's right, bold AND caps lock. Emphasis FTW) fun lesson which involved a LOT of reminiscing and laughter and her not caring that, for the first time in ages, my scales sucked. She had said, "Your scales are great!" about 5 minutes earlier and that's when I decided to stuff up every scale she asked me. Ah, the irony. Is that irony? I never quite know when to use that word... Hm.
Anyway, I have no homework. Several assignments, but no homework.
This caused me to... fangirl. Quite a bit. This is where the post title comes in. I was looking up my, often mentioned, favourite band, Relient K. I found a funny interview with them and was reading it and found myself loving the lead singer even more. Like that was possible. Then I watched some of the interview in a video and he sounded funny and I was disappointed. I found youtube videos though and he doesn't sound weird. Anyway, I found a video of the band chatting and cracking jokes while filming one of their music videos. Oh my goodness, they are all (but especially the lead singer) so funny. He was at a library, for filming a scene, and said he liked this library, showed the audience his library card and said, "You should come to the library," said something about books and/or libraries being good and then said, "Books... are for.. people.. who... like to... read....." I laughed quite a bit. My goodness. Wait, no. I shall NOT fangirl! Bad! No! But... like... Pretty sure there should be a much younger (I was quite devastated when I found out he is 30... Oh wells) version of him in The Land Down Under... *slap* focus!
So, I'm now listening to some seriously catchy Japanese music from Special A. Good music. Good anime too, but yeah. The music is something I cannot help but dance and hum (seeing as though I have no clue what they are saying) along to. Good thing no one can see me...
So, like, Gojo and I are planning on throwing tomatoes at each other.
Aw, my song finished. New song! I'm now listening to Dirty Little Secret by The All-American Rejects. Although saying, "I'll keep you my dirty little secret" may sound weird and kinda sexual, I love this song. Haha. Well, they also have a song that says, "I wanna touch you. You wanna touch me too," but I always feel awkward listening to that... But it's really catchy.
Now for something completely different- So Close- David Harris. I have sung and swayed along to this several times with Phantomess. We are a sucker for this song. Om nom nom. Yes, I shall eat this song.
So, my good friend, Tenuto Tuo, is holding a Eurovision Second Semi-Final Party in a couple of weeks and I am so excited. It's weird how excited I am. I think I am excited to get the heck out of my house and chill with my friends and do something fun and not school-related.
Oh, how could I face the faceless days if I should lose you now? Mmhmm. You tell em. Wait, iTunes is telling me that, because I bought the David Harris CD, I might also like Michael Jackson, MIKA and Robbie Williams? They don't seem very similar to me...
So, Imma gonna write a post sometime soon (I guess I'll restrain from doing it tonight...) with a list of weird, quirky, unusual things about me you may not know. Yeah, cause I am weird.
"Cupid's arrows just for you! I even painted my toenails for you, I did it just the other day!" N'aww, she painted her toenails for me... I've always wondered, "Why is that romantic?" Why would you say to someone, "Hey, you! I painted my toenails for you. I also bought new underwear, they blue." Pretty sure I'd be all O_o
So, I'm going to go off and read my book, Matched. It's good, but I wish I wasn't learning about dystopias in English because that completely describes this book and I keep reading it relating it to 1984. Except for the romance. Yay romance. Except... I like the guy that she's not in love with. Aw. And I'm pretty indifferent towards the guy she is in love with...
I'll stop. Now. No... NOW.
Maybe NOW.
Or not.
NOW!
Band: Meh. Pretty lame but hey, I got chocolate so it's all good.
Maths: Pretty good. Maths is actually pretty fun lately. Only because I... don't... really.... do any work. Heh. I did, however, neglect a good friend of mine, Old Man, and it was intentional.

Emphasis FTW) fun lesson which involved a LOT of reminiscing and laughter and her not caring that, for the first time in ages, my scales sucked. She had said, "Your scales are great!" about 5 minutes earlier and that's when I decided to stuff up every scale she asked me. Ah, the irony. Is that irony? I never quite know when to use that word... Hm.
Anyway, I have no homework. Several assignments, but no homework.
This caused me to... fangirl. Quite a bit. This is where the post title comes in. I was looking up my, often mentioned, favourite band, Relient K. I found a funny interview with them and was reading it and found myself loving the lead singer even more. Like that was possible. Then I watched some of the interview in a video and he sounded funny and I was disappointed. I found youtube videos though and he doesn't sound weird. Anyway, I found a video of the band chatting and cracking jokes while filming one of their music videos. Oh my goodness, they are all (but especially the lead singer) so funny. He was at a library, for filming a scene, and said he liked this library, showed the audience his library card and said, "You should come to the library," said something about books and/or libraries being good and then said, "Books... are for.. people.. who... like to... read....." I laughed quite a bit. My goodness. Wait, no. I shall NOT fangirl! Bad! No! But... like... Pretty sure there should be a much younger (I was quite devastated when I found out he is 30... Oh wells) version of him in The Land Down Under... *slap* focus!
So, I'm now listening to some seriously catchy Japanese music from Special A. Good music. Good anime too, but yeah. The music is something I cannot help but dance and hum (seeing as though I have no clue what they are saying) along to. Good thing no one can see me...
So, like, Gojo and I are planning on throwing tomatoes at each other.
Aw, my song finished. New song! I'm now listening to Dirty Little Secret by The All-American Rejects. Although saying, "I'll keep you my dirty little secret" may sound weird and kinda sexual, I love this song. Haha. Well, they also have a song that says, "I wanna touch you. You wanna touch me too," but I always feel awkward listening to that... But it's really catchy.
Now for something completely different- So Close- David Harris. I have sung and swayed along to this several times with Phantomess. We are a sucker for this song. Om nom nom. Yes, I shall eat this song.
So, my good friend, Tenuto Tuo, is holding a Eurovision Second Semi-Final Party in a couple of weeks and I am so excited. It's weird how excited I am. I think I am excited to get the heck out of my house and chill with my friends and do something fun and not school-related.
Oh, how could I face the faceless days if I should lose you now? Mmhmm. You tell em. Wait, iTunes is telling me that, because I bought the David Harris CD, I might also like Michael Jackson, MIKA and Robbie Williams? They don't seem very similar to me...
So, Imma gonna write a post sometime soon (I guess I'll restrain from doing it tonight...) with a list of weird, quirky, unusual things about me you may not know. Yeah, cause I am weird.
"Cupid's arrows just for you! I even painted my toenails for you, I did it just the other day!" N'aww, she painted her toenails for me... I've always wondered, "Why is that romantic?" Why would you say to someone, "Hey, you! I painted my toenails for you. I also bought new underwear, they blue." Pretty sure I'd be all O_o
So, I'm going to go off and read my book, Matched. It's good, but I wish I wasn't learning about dystopias in English because that completely describes this book and I keep reading it relating it to 1984. Except for the romance. Yay romance. Except... I like the guy that she's not in love with. Aw. And I'm pretty indifferent towards the guy she is in love with...
I'll stop. Now. No... NOW.
Maybe NOW.
Or not.
NOW!

I Was So Happy When You Smiled...
Now, I should not be writing this, but I cannot resist. I just finished watching Fruits Basket for the second time and I had an epiphany in the... 4th last episode. I realised just why it is so dang popular- the anime and manga. It is so relatable. I mean, come on, second time around and I swear I found every episode more emotional. Well, I found every episode emotional, and that wasn't the case the first time. No, no one in real life is cursed and turns into Chinese zodiac animals, but the characters are quite relatable. Everyone's bound to find someone they relate to. There are many characters, after all. Here I shall outline the issues that characters have (without the curse and all the strangeness) and you should all think about who you are most like. Mmm... Deep stuff ahead...
Tohru Honda- Tries so hard to please everyone. Puts on a brave face all the time but is actually hurting inside. Suffers from loss. Often feels inadequate. Self-esteem issues.
Shigure Sohma: Not much. Uh. Acts funny and stupid but actually cares about everyone and does try to help.
Hatori Sohma: Lonely. So dang lonely. Suffers from loss. Always relied on by others and always helps others, but never helps himself.
Momiji Sohma: Acts so happy and cheerful and energetic but isn't quite as happy as you'd think. Has a secret. Oooh.
Kagura Sohma: Uuh. Loves someone sooo much, but they don't love her back. Realises it's a selfish love and she have been burdening her loved one.
Hatsuharu Sohma: Anger management issues galore. Cares for people. A lot. In love. Naw.
Rin Sohma: Feels unwanted or unneeded and rejects those around her for these reasons. Also, in love.
Yuki Sohma: Lonely. Popular, but doesn't feel like anyone knows the true him. Hides his true self from anyone for fear of being rejected. Doesn't know how to deal with people or show himself. Wants true friends and to be able to show them his real self. Jealous of other people who can deal with people and are accepted for who they really are.
Kisa Sohma: Bullied. Like crazy. Fear of being rejected. Can't see anything good in herself.
Hiro Sohma: Wants to protect the one he loves but feels he's too young. Jealous of those who can protect her. Feels inadequate.
Ritsu Sohma: Oh dear. These dude has issues. Feels unworthy. Unworthy of everything. Inadequate.
Arisa Uotani: Wants to protect her friend and always be there for her. Turned her life around with the help of her friend and mother and wants to always be there for her.
Saki Hanajima: Pretty much the same. Only accepted by her two friends and they mean the world to her and she will do anything to protect them.
Kyo Sohma: Where do I begin? Feels so rejected. Never good enough at anything. Feels like no one will accept the real him. Anger management issues. Doesn't know how to deal with people well. Can't express how he feels well. Dislikes people. Quite a bit. Just wants someone to accept him for who he really is.
And the mother of all issues...
Akito Sohma: So. Many. Issues. Fear. Fear of rejection. Fear of being left alone. Anger management. Control issues. Never wants to lose anyone. Hurts people she genuinely cares about. Inadequate. Never feels like she's good enough for anyone. Hence, she thinks everyone will leave her and she will be left alone. Forever.
So, yeah. That, my friends, is why the Sohma Family is given the trope Big Messed Up Family.
I hate to say it... But reading them, and thinking about the characters, I think I'd be a bit of a mixture between Tohru (I don't like her...), Yuki (don't like him either) and... Kyo (Ok, I loves him). I actually did a "Which Fruits Basket Character Are You?" quiz and my result was Kyo. But, no, I did not give my computer a strange, fangirl smile. No, not at all.
Anyways, which Fruits Basket character are you?
PS. That's not even all of them. There are more... Yeah.
Tohru Honda- Tries so hard to please everyone. Puts on a brave face all the time but is actually hurting inside. Suffers from loss. Often feels inadequate. Self-esteem issues.

Keep Calm And Read This Post
So, I was in the car with my family today and somehow, we got onto the topic of future birthdays and whatnot. Revealing embarrassing photos for our 21st birthdays, what my mum did for her 18th and 21st and how people seem to get married and have children at older ages these days. Perfect example- How I Met Your Mother. I mean, come on! He is... much older than my parents, at least, when they got married, and he still hasn't met her! My parents had two children before he has even gotten married. I'm pretty sure, anyway. My mum proceeded to inform us that, in about 6 years, I will be the same age my parents were when they got married... And in about 8 years, I will be the same age they were when they gave birth to me. Well, obviously only my mum gave birth to me. Heh. Anyway, my response to this information was, "Ew." Yeah, great reaction.
It really made me think about what I want in life. I used to want to get married and have two or three kids pretty young, like, be married before 25. Now, I don't know. Actually, I'd like to be married and all, and that age sounds cool, but kids? I don't know. There are so many things I want to do before I settle down with a family. Firstly, to my mum, I said, "I've gotta finish uni and go to Spain first," and she said, "That's cool. When you find a guy you can say, 'I love you, but I'd got to go to Spain first,'" and I laughed. I didn't say anything like, "What if I meet someone in Spain?" ;) That'd weird her out a bit... Anyway. I want to get a uni degree, travel, make new friends, go out to clubs and bars and junk, get a job that I love, have a good social life for once. I want to live and be a young person so bad before I even think about children.
Obviously, things could definitely, and probably will, change in the next 5-10 years, like they have in the past 5 years (back when I planned my husband and children, as previously mentioned in a previous post). Now, sadly, I don't mind thinking about what my future husband would be like, but I don't want to plan too much. I do plan though. I know exactly where I want to live (suburb, not the exact house, but I know what I want the house to look like), I know kinds of cars I want to drive, the hair I want, the clothes I want, what my house will be like. I plan how I want to go out for coffee with friends and be young. The only thing I haven't really planned is what I want to do for a career and what I want to do at uni... And that's the only thing I need to plan. Like, now.
And, I really shouldn't plan my future husband, cause that's quite unhealthy. It's quite doubtful that I will find a guy with light-red hair who is named Jack and is funny and smart and is all like, "Hey, you're weird, but I like your weirdness," and be someone who I can argue with and will hold my hand and never make me feel pressured or uncomfortable. But yeah, read hair. Mmm. If not, he should be Spanish. Either or... :P Anywho.... *shifty eyes*
I am not really sure what I'm talking about now. Hum. Oh yeah, I was thinking the other day about how cool it will be to be with someone who deals with all my cruddy weird issues. You know. My social anxiety. My stress issues. My self-esteem issues. My insane indecision. And how I cry pretty easily when I'm at home. Not at school. Except for Friday when I kept kinda crying (thankfully not enough for anyone to notice) for no reason besides tiredness. Someone who will listen to me complaining about all those issues while I'm crying with a blotchy as face and whatnot.
Oh dang. How did I get into such a sappy, romantic mood? That was not intended. I apologise to all who are reading and going, "Oh no. She's off on a romantic mood yet AGAIN," heh. Blame Phantomess. I read her post before reading this.
So, I went shopping yesterday with my mum and it was cool. She bought me several clothing items that are finally giving me some sort of style. They are things I like and have seen other people wear and they make me feel at least my age, not younger. And, as mentioned earlier, I have some pretty bad self-esteem issues and the fact that I don't always look my age is one of them. But I am not going to go into that now.
So, I was going to work tonight. Oh crud. Tomorrow, it is then. I did flute practice and added one image and two words to my Music assignment. That is productive work for you. Be inspired.
I realised I say the word "so" a lot in my blogs. Hm. A habit I shall try to break.
Please enjoy this selection of images that will present themselves if you choose to search "what" on Google Images...
What.
