2011

Can you believe that another year is almost over?
I think it’s crazy, I feel like this year has gone by so fast and that I’ve done nothing.

This year has had its ups and downs but in the end I guess it was an alright year.

I am now going to type out random things I think of



I got my first (proper) pet

Identify

The stupidest thing happened last week.
Both my parents were outside doing gardening or something and I went outside to take out the trash. We were all at the front of the house when the gate slammed shut behind us (You can’t open it from the outside and no one had house keys).
I tried to see if I could climb over but no so I kept asking my dad what we were going to do but him and my mum were bickering about something and it was so frustrating because we were all stuck outside (including scooby).
After ages my dad came back with a ladder which he got from some random house and we could finally go back inside the house.

Last Saturday we left to go on a little trip which we usually do around Christmas time because my parents have holidays. We went with one other family and I wasn’t looking forward to it because I would have no one to talk to (the kid is 9).
We stopped near Bairnsdale to have lunch in this little park. There was a man dressed as Santa going around on a motor bike giving out candy to people.
Arrived in Metung around 3 and found the place we were going to stay in. It was pretty small and had two bedrooms but at least it was clean.
After settling in we walked to the town and looked around (it’s the tiniest place)

I had a dream that night where I was walking somewhere with my parents and I saw You Me At Six so I got really excited and told my dad to take a photo of me with the guys but he got really angry and told me not to listen to them and that I couldn't talk to them and stuff so I got angry. We then left and went to a party and the YMAS guys were there (I don't know why) so I went over and talked to Dan for ages (yes I may have a slight crush on him now). Damn I can't remember what else happened, I don't even know why I shared this dream with you but it was a nice dream.

On Christmas Day we drove up to Buchan Caves to see if it was open but it wasn’t so we went to Lakes Entrance. We went to the beach and walked around then got fish and chips and headed back to Metung and went on a walk to this beach-y area which was a spot for boats to be docked and it was so pretty.

Next Day went to Lakes Entrance and everyone did a bit of shopping while I stayed in the car with Scooby. We then went back to Buchan Caves and I stayed in the car while everyone else went to the caves because of Scooby. Back to Lakes Entrance and got Flat head tails which were so good! Then back to Metung.

Overall this trip was extremely dull and I didn’t like it. The kid annoyed the hell out of me the entire time, I got no sleep because there were three (well 4 including Scooby) of us on the one bed. I woke up at one point in the night and saw that Scooby had more room on the bed than me. I’m so glad I took my laptop with me because I spent most of my time watching stuff when we were in the house.
We came back on Tuesday and had a barbeque at the park near my house.

--

Thanh came over on Wednesday because we were going to have Tim Burton marathon. We only ended up watching two movies but it was still good. We sat on the floor and talked for a while after then she left. It was nice seeing her after ages.
Wow I can’t remember what I did after

--

Jenny came over today, we watched a movie then walked to Parkmore to see Sharline at work.
We didn’t have a chance to talk to her because she was out the back so we walked around a bit then came back.
After a while we finally got to talk to Sharline and she showed us her new rabbit (she’s so cute!). We got to feed the rabbits and guinea pigs and touch the dogs. She told us to come back later so she could take a break so we went to Nandos and got chips. While we were eating, I got a call from my dad and he told me that Scooby ran outside the house and got hit by a bicycle so I got worried but he said he was fine just a little scarred.

After we ate we went to see if Nug was working.
She was, we said hi and I recognised one of Jenny’s friends from her party (he was also working there). He knew my name so I felt really bad when I couldn’t remember his but I didn’t tell him that. We talked to Nug for a bit then went back to see if Sharline could take her break. We couldn’t see her which meant she was at the back (there was a sick cat so they were looking after it). After waiting we left and got ice cream from Maccas then waited more but then decided to leave because she never came out. We went back to Nug and talked to her, she told me she watched all of The Avengers so I got really happy because people never watch things I tell them to watch and now I have someone to fangirl with.
After checking for Sharline again we decided to leave. Jenny went to the station while I went home.

When I got home I saw a jb hi fi bag and got really excited (my family friends said they would get me some movies). X-Men: First Class and Captain America on Blu Ray! Yaaaaaaay
I don’t really know why they did, my dad said it’s because I look after their kid in the holidays. They asked me if I wanted any others but I already felt bad so I only gave them two names.
If you’ve read my other posts then you know how much I wanted them (especially XMFC)
After a while I put it on and decided to look at the special features but then my dad came in so i told him to watch the movie with me. I put it on but it didn’t seem to work so I tried and tried and tried some more but every time I did, the movie wouldn’t play so I got really upset. I tried Captain America and that was fine, I also tried the normal DVD of XMFC (it came with Blu Ray and DVD) and that worked but the Blu Ray didn’t so my dad said he would go return it tomorrow and get another copy. I really hope it works ugh I was so excited and everything.

I also got Pioneer today; the CD came with a mask and a signed letter from the band

That’s pretty much all I’ve been doing.

There was a flash mob in Auckland where people danced to this Tamil song called 'Why This Kolaveri Di' (which is this new song that's become super popular for some reason and it was in the mX the other day for getting heaps of youtube hits) and my cousin was in the flash mob so you can see her dancing in their official video

I finally finished reading Civil War and ugh gosh it’s so sad and good at the same time. I’ve got another series to read now called The House Of M.

I started Community and now I’m up to date and it’s a really good show, can’t believe they’re thinking about cancelling it.

I watched The Doctor Who Christmas special and it was good but I was expecting a little more. The ending was really good though.

The Downton Abbey Christmas special was brilliant! I loved it but hated that they didn’t have my favourite characters in it.

Bite My Tongue

Last Friday Sharline came over to play Nancy Drew. We played The Crystal Skull and it took us around 6 hours to get through the whole game. I’ve never finished one in one day before, it was pretty intense. The game was awesome! It was really hard and there were a lot of creepy things in it so it was funny seeing Sharline’s reactions at certain things. My parents catered that night and went to bed without cleaning because they had work in the morning so I had to clean the house. Oh gosh the kitchen was crazy, it was so messy, took me around 2 hours to clean.

Saturday was the American TV Character themed party. I finally decided to dress up as Garcia and the outfit came out pretty well. Nayomi dressed up as someone from Grey’s Anatomy and it was funny because everyone thought she was from Scrubs. Vivian was Rachel from Glee, Sharline was Eliza Thornberry, Piyumi was Serena from Gossip Girl while Sneha was Blair from Gossip Girl. Ayanthi didn’t dress up because she didn’t have enough time. We just ate and talked and it was good, what sucked though was that we didn’t take a single photo even though I asked. At the end of the night I decided to get one of myself so it’s all I have, my lipstick is gone and my hair looked different at the start of the night.

Shame we didn’t have photos. Nayomi and Sharline slept over, Nayomi fell asleep so Sharline and I watched Mean Girls 2 and basically laughed at everything in the movie. Nayomi woke up around 8 in the morning so we watched The Blinde Side which was good. I fell asleep for about 10 minutes during the movie so that’s the only bit of sleep I got. They both left after and the rest of the day I was left feeling really tired and kept falling asleep at random times.

Sharline and I talked about Fight Club the other night so I told her she had to watch it; she came over on Monday to watch it. After Fight club we watched Captain America then walked to her house and I walked back with Scooby. It was a really good day, it’s always nice having a relaxing day with a friend.

Tuesday I had volunteering and someone donated a massive bundle of knitting needles so I had to go through them and pair them up, lordy that took a while. I watched Love Actually that night, I didn;t watch all of it because I took Scooby for a walk in the middle of it but yes. I totally forgot Martin Freeman was in it. He’s so cute! I want to hug him. Speaking of Martin Freeman, Sherlock series 2 comes out January 2nd #yaaaaaaaaay

I watched Season 3 finale of Misfits and ugh god it was so sad and then I saw this message from Iwan Rheon

and it made me even more sad!
Simon is my favourite character on Misfits so I don’t know what it’ll be like without him

I forgot to write about this when I first found out about it but check this out

Yes, The Avengers vs X-Men story arc
How exciting!?
I can’t wait! So many good things coming out next year.

The Battle Of One

On Tuesday, I started volunteering at an op shop. I basically just helped with sorting out stuff, making things neater and putting price tags on items. The owner lady is really nice and she talks a LOT so I don’t have to do a lot of talking.
This guy came in to donate stuff and after he left the lady went “ooh wasn’t he cute? But if I went after him, I would be called a cougar.” I just laughed.

On Wednesday, Viv, Sharline, Jenny. Yen and Nug came over and it was so good to see them. Can’t believe it was the first time seeing them all holidays. We just talked and ate and looked at things on the internet.
We tried taking a polaroid but Yen was always cut out of it so we tried all these things then realised there was no more film left.

Oh yes I also got birthday presents from Yen and Jenny

The picture also has the presents I got from Sumo

How cool!?

There’s two t-shirts (a Cheshire cat one and a The Maine one that Jenny made), a pioneer bracelet (also made by Jenny), The Hunger Games trilogy, a two in one, Eagle Eye and Disturbia DVD and two Batman tin pails.

On Friday I went to Chadstone with Diem. We went to Hoyts to pick out a movie but there weren’t a lot of good movies to pick from. Diem wanted to watch something funny and I wanted to watch Drive, after a while I finally convinced her to watch Drive and we bought tickets before she changed her mind. The movie wasn’t going to start till later sow e walked around and had lunch. I don’t know if it’s just me but the clothes in the shops now are terrible! I seriously could not find a single decent item of clothing, well except for a couple of dresses at Dangerfield but they were all too expensive.
We went to the book store that’s replaces Borders and it’s basically just books that not a lot of people are going to buy. Diem was looking at this romance book so I kept yelling out that she was reading porn and I got a few looks from people who were around us.
After the movie we walked around a bit more then went home.
Oh one thing. At Hoyts there were so many posters for Hindi movies, it was weird. There was a massive cut out of Shahrukh Khan

--

On Sunday we went to an Indian restaurant with our family friends and oh gosh the butter chicken there was SO GOOD.

After we ate we all went to IKEA in Springvale because we hadn’t been. It is marvellous, I wanted to stay there longer, I love the place. We always end up buying random stuff when we go to IKEA, we did the same this time.
like these

We don’t need them but they’re cute and colourful


We then went to Harvey Norman. You know how they always have a wall full of TVs and they have a movie playing on them, well the movie that was playing was X-Men: First Class so I got all excited. Another TV had Thor playing so more excitement. Family friends were buying a TV so they were talking to a person who worked there, I got a little bored so I walked around and tried the 3D TVs. I also kept bugging my dad about getting me X-Men: First Class on bluray so he said he would but when we left JB HI FI was closed.

--

Random note, Scarlett Johansson looks really attractive in that ‘The One’ Dolce & Gabbana ad

--

I felt like making eggy in a basket after watching V for Vendetta. Mine didn’t turn out as nice looking as the ones in the movie but at least it tasted good.

Posters came out for the new Spiderman and Batman movies

I started reading Civil War last week and it’s brilliant!
There was one issue in the series called casualties of war and the issue is basically just Tony (Iron Man) and Steve (Captain America) talking and it made me teary. Yeah I never thought a comic would make me emotional but Civil War is just so sad! I’ve still got a few issues to read

It’s Scooby’s birthday tomorrow

I’m thinking of dressing up as Penelope Garcia for my American TV Character party this weekend but I’m not sure yet. I’m not going to look anything like her, I don’t have the glasses or the hair or anything but we’ll see.
I don’t know who else to dress up as if the Garcia outfit doesn’t work
My dad just told me to dress up as Raven haha

All Of Me


The start of last week started off normal, me at home doing pretty much nothing.

I donated blood on Wednesday and I always feel really good after for some reason, probably because I feel like I’ve helped someone in some way.

My throat started to hurt on Wednesday so I thought great, I’m getting sick.
(See my colds usually start off with sore throats then that wears off and I get all the other things)

I missed Piyumi’s surprise party on Friday because I wasn’t feeling too great so my parents wouldn't let me out.
My cousins came over that night and my uncle, aunt and niece stayed for the weekend.
On Saturday we didn’t go anywhere because the weather was crap so my niece kept wanting me to play with her. I rediscovered my love for Nintendo 64 games because I have a few on my computer and I played them with her.
Sunday everyone went to the city except me (sick)
I thought I was starting to get better but boy was I wrong.
My ear started to hurt and it just got worse and worse and dear lord the pain was unbelievable. It was completely horrible and there was nothing I could do about it so I was internally screaming in pain for a couple of hours.

On Monday these people came to enclose our alfresco area so my dad came home early and took me to the doctors. The rest of the day was spent sleeping.
At 8:30 I put on the tv to watch Supernatural, the episode had barely started when my dad started yelling at me to turn it off because he didn’t want to watch it.
Gosh he didn’t have to watch it!
I waited two weeks to watch that episode but no I had to turn it off.
I also missed out on Viv’s Thanksgiving dinner/sleepover so I was bummed about that too

Tuesday morning, I didn’t want to leave the house but I had a call from the Salvo’s people asking if I would come in on Tuesday morning to talk to the owner of the shop. (I applied to volunteer at an op shop in Berwick)
So I got there and the lady talked to me and made me fill out a few forms then asked if I would come in next Tuesday so I said yes and all that and then left.
I was already really tired at this point and wanted to go home but I went to the library to pick up my reservation.

It’s THOR! (I was going to take a photo of it but it’s downstairs and I am too comfy in bed to go get it)
I’ve been waiting so long to watch it
It was like whenever I previously tried to watch it, something would go wrong so then I just decided till I got hold of a copy of the DVD so it could be viewed in perfect quality.

I still haven’t seen it; I’m waiting for when I feel a little better or when the ringing in my ear stops. It’s like the ringing you get after being somewhere really loud, like after a concert, except it’s only in one ear and it hasn’t stopped since Sunday.

The rest of the week has been me, sleeping a lot and watching a lot of tv since I couldn’t go on the internet, but internet is back and I have to catch up on my tv shows.

Last night I watched a bit of Undercover princesses, like undercover princes but with females yes anyway there’s an Indian one this time too.
I’m upset that Inside The Actors Studio isn’t on anymore, I don’t know what happened.

I went on imdb today and was a little shocked/surprised when I saw this

That first trailer is for a Hindi movie, how cool is that?

I was going through stuff and I found a form thing from the hospital (when I had my operation) that had my medication dosage on it and I had to take 16 tablets a day. How crazy!

HCR won an AMA for best new artist and I’m really happy for them
I listened to most of their new album and I don’t know, it’s stuff I don’t normally listen to so I’m a little upset at how much they’ve changed their sound. It’s completely pop now; it’s a shame because their last album was just SO GOOD.

I watched the music video for Time Bomb and all I could think was "OMG he's got an arc reactor! He's putting it in her! She's Iron Woman! Zack hair looks really nice"

Yes it made me laugh because of the Iron Man thing but otherwise a sort of normal video.

I also watched Say You Like Me and I liked the video, it was cute and it made me smile. It's my favourite WTK music video for sure


I was going through photos from Inverloch and came across this

A couple of us thought it was really funny because his boobs looked weird

I don’t know why I kept it
