So it's my birthday in 8 days, right? I wanted all this stuff from urbanoutfitters, so I added it to my wishlist. My mum asked what I wanted and so I logged her into my account to have a look at my list. She then bought stuff off it for me, and the little order confirmation email about what she bought is just sitting in my inbox, tempting me. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT I GOT!!!!! Worst temptation of my life. I know the photo's small, BUT JUST LOOK AT IT. All it takes is one click...

Dark side of the moon

Mum and Dad: I continue to be utterly impressed with your vinyl collection. Queen, Pink Floyd, WHAM, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Michael Jackson, and Jethro Tull are just some of the great ones! Massive respect for my parent's music taste.

Baby remember my name

You betcha! Today's record is Fame! I'm about to go through the entire collection just to see what we have, I'm hoping to find some boppy 60's ones, they're always the best. Had a good day today at the State Library, got some work done on my assignment which was great. Nothing exciting tonight, just some study and maybe a bit of Charmed (currently rekindling my love for this show). I'm also still trying to locate a bookshop that sells Mein Kampf, here's hoping that I find one soon-ish, I want to read it!!
Song of the day: Hot Lunch Jam - Fame Cast. Oh my, such a brilliant piece of music. Makes me wish that I could go to a school of music; I could just get up and start playing my conveniently placed piano in the canteen, and everyone would join in, rather than shun me.

Holidays!!

So I'm FINALLY on holidays, thank god for being at a private school, we get a week more than public school kids!
Spent last night with Alex at my house, watching horror movies and eating thai, our usual stint. Got up this morning and did a MASS organisation of my room! Now it's all clean and bright and ready for my 3 weeks of solid study WAH.
I hate it when you download a song, and it's different from the original version, it frustrates me so much! It happened to me today in fact. I was listening to a song called I Need A Dollar by Aloe Blacc (just my ghetto music) and my sister came in and said that my version was different. I then proceeded to listen to hers, which is actually the right one. But I really like the different ending to mine. So I don't know what to do, should I just keep both?
Oh plusplus, I officially have no more space for books in my room. I have 3 bookshelves, HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE! I swear I breed books or something.
Ok, end rant. This is obviously just procrastination from doing my Ancient assignment that I want to have finished in 5 days. Yeah...unlikely. Later gaters.
Ps, we had MSB day yesterday (end of term school fete thing). This is a picture of my friend Gail and I, love her! I'm on the right :)

Two Dead Boys

One fine day in the middle of the night,

Two dead boys got up to fight,

Back to back they faced each other,

Drew their swords and shot each other,

One was blind and the other couldn’t see,

So they chose a dummy for a referee.

A blind man went to see fair play,

A dumb man went to shout ‘hooray!’,

A paralysed donkey passing by,

Kicked the blind man in the eye,

Knocked him through a nine inch wall,

Into a dry ditch and drowned them all,

A deaf policeman heard the noise,

And came to arrest the two dead boys,

If you don’t believe this story’s true,

Ask the blind man, he saw it too!

Hallelujah to the one in our bones

Had a pretty good day today, bought some new rings which are quite lovely, and some white stockings to wear with my brogues!
Last day of school tomorrow, this is such a win, because then I have 3 weeks of holidays!
Plus, I'm 18 in 13 days, MEGA EXCITED :)
Here are my new rings!
Song of the day: I Can Feel Your Pain by Manchester Orchestra. This album is goddamn amazing. I can never get enough. I think I'm in love.

The rain falls and the sky shudders

It's raining! This makes my day :)
Had a particularly shit day yesterday, a bit of a nervy breakdown at school wasn't too great, but my friend Alex fixed me a cup of tea and sat with me until I was ok. She's such an angel, I love her to pieces :)
So tennis was cancelled this afternoon because of the rain, so I'm currently sitting in my warm lounge room under my blanket, blogging and watching last night's Grey's Anatomy which is FREAKING intense, people are getting shot all over the place!
Last assessment tomorrow, Japanese listening, blergh. Then MSB day on Friday, which is my last day of term!! Mega exciting :)
Song of the day: I was listening to this song in my free today, and I was all warm and cosy on the couch, and fell asleep! Mid-morning power naps are the best.

My ultimate guilty pleasure

Ok so System of a Down in general is my ultimate guilty pleasure, but this song, just...wow. I don't know why I love it, but it makes my day. I can technically say that I can rap the clan, such a winner!

Work more, earn more, live more, have more fun

Spent the day in the city AGAIN today, for a PDHPE excursion. Got up at 5 to catch a train with a friend at 6, had some brekkie when we got into Central. Met up with the class and then went to a Human Body exhibition at UNSW then a lecture/practical thing at Sydney Uni. A bit boring, but hey, it got me out of school :) The picture is of the Graffiti Tunnel in Sydney Uni, it's mega cool and if I wasn't running to get the bus I would've snapped a few more photos!
Tomorrow holds in store a lecture at UTS and then work until 7, then study!
Song of the day: Alas I Cannot Swim by Laura Marling
Pet peeve of the day: People in my grade who possess no ounce of common courtesy. If an elderly person walks onto a crowded bus, you stand up and give them your seat, not just sit there and be little shits.

They got homes of their own

Oh hai there pretty new shoes! Crappy photo I know, I don't actually have a decent camera, so I just used my phone. Good day today; funny train rides, walking from Central to Sydney Uni in the rain, shopping, and obviously buying new shoes!
Song of the day: Poor Little Rich Boy by Regina Spektor, love it!
Fixing myself with a cup of coffee, having a power nap after a long day in the city, and then doing some study!
Pet peeve of the day: People who walk slowly in Devonshire St Tunnel, I seriously need indicators because I overtake people that much!

Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da

Walked home with a slight skip in my step this afternoon at the prospect of a few things:

• The fact that I had a double free
• Coming home and playing a random record from my dad's extensive record collection (today's one was Great Hits by T-Rex, a British rock band from the 70's, pretty good music I must say)
• Baking cookies for my ancient class for our excursion tomorrow
• Going shopping in the city tomorrow afternoon with a couple friends, and knowing that I will be purchasing a pair of black, patent leather brogues from a shoe shop near Wynyard station (come to mamma, pretty shoes)
  
• And the thought that I can blog all this and be excited about that :)

Here's a few photos of my various activities! Plus, I'm about to watch 500 Days of Summer, which I will admit to not having watched yet (I know, shock horror). Currently playing the record called Songs of the '60s, it's good, but because it's an orchestra instead of the actual artists, there's no words to the songs such as Yesterday, Hey Jude, Mrs Robinson, Hey, look me over etc etc. But that's ok, it enables me to sing it for them!

Hey there, hi there, ho there! Yes, I think starting my new blog out with lyrics from a Disney song is brilliant as well! This isn't my first blogging experience, but it's definitely a lot different from tumblr. I'm not sure what this blog will focus on, but it's going to be happy for sure :) I know that it's going to be on books, music, tea, clothes, and guilty pleasures, so hopefully some people might indulge in my fun with me!

For my first post: this is quite possibly my favourite song at the moment, Beautiful Flower, by India Arie. I really like her music, and although it's not normally my style, I still find it quite a lovely song.

And now I'm off to indulge in a cup of tea, and continue with my reading of Let The Right One In.
