SO past neglect it's not even funny

Soooo. It's been 11 days since I lasted posted on here, which kind of makes me sad, but then again I'm not all that worried about it.
I quite like my Tumblr at the moment, so that's my main form of blogging. And I know lots of people like that, so I'm considering just posting rarely on this one, as it has now become an effort. Plus, nothing all too exciting happens in my life, which is a little sad. I don't have a lot of freedom and I don't have exciting adventures to blog about.
So yep, that's about it for now. I guess I might be back later?

Le sister

Here's a little dedication to my sister. Hannah can be a 'slutty whore' (as we like to call each other) at times, but we're always on each other's side when it comes to battling against the parents. She is the best distraction from study possible, and we have most likely the weirdest sense of humour in the world, and I guess I love her for that.
Pretty sure my life would be a bore without her.

Cheep!

Holy moly me oh my

It hasn't sunk in yet that I have my first HSC exam tomorrow.
What's that I can hear? The sound of your disbelief at the fact that I have a HSC exam on a Saturday? Yes, I think it is.
Who even invented that preposterous idea of exams on the weekend. I hate you government.
So, yes, at 12 tomorrow I will be at Regents Place, speaking Japanese to some random markers for 10 minutes. I know, it doesn't seem like a lot right?
But my god is it the longest 10 minutes of your entire life. Just horrible.
So anyway, the thing I'm looking forward to is coming home and watching Live From Abbey Road that I taped on Thursday night, it's the Beatles dedication one, so I'm mass excited to grab a cup of well earned coffee and watch it!
Then Ancient on Tuesday and PDHPE on Wednesday, ears pierced for the second time on Wednesday afternoon, and then Melbourne from Thursday to Saturday with le mother!
While there I'll be looking for a formal dress, meeting up with my lovely tumblr friends who reside in Melbourne, seeing Mary Poppins, and going to the Tim Burton exhibition!
THEN I'M FREE. Until HSC.
I could not be more excited :D
Here's a little tune for you, Cross Your Fingers by Laura Marling. Taught myself this on guitar the other day. It's so lovely!
Plus, I just convinced mum to make me chocolate chip cookies. Winner.

Ok, so a bit of an overload

This is the third time this week that I've read The Catcher in the Rye. Yes. You heard, well, read me right, three times in one week. I don't even know why, I've never done this with a book before!

Every time I read it I discover something new, a little element that I must've skipped over during the first few times I read it. It's really great, I love finding that about a book, just noticing those little details that make you see the whole novel in an entirely different way.

I'm so excited now that English Trials are over, I can finally attack that mammoth book pile that has been patiently awaiting my eager eyes and hungry mind.

Must. Devour. New. Penguin. Classics. Now.

Here's a little snapshot of just some of the books, the rest of our classics are out in my sister's room. Why? Simple, I ran out of room on my three bookshelves.

Dedication galore

Sigh! Today has been SUCH an emotionally draining day. People are being insecure and I'm going around convincing everyone that they're beautiful and worthy of everything in the world, because quite honestly, my friend's happiness is all that matters to me.
Also draining as I've been trying to convince them all that I myself am not amazing as they say I am. I'm really not. I hate that they're wasting their compliments on someone like me who will never believe it, when they could be telling someone who deserves it more. Sigh. ANYWAY.
My beautiful friend Lora is having a bad week this week, so I thought I'd just give her a quick mention here to try and make her smile a bit :)
She's pretty amazing overall, I'm at a bit of a loss as to what other word could describe her. Maybe something along the lines of edgy/crazy/cool/individual/brilliant/stunning, only to name a few. I'm honestly so happy that I know someone as amazing as her :)
Yep ok so now here's a video of my favourite song for the week, courtesy of this brilliant girl and her amazing taste in music, Fifteen Floors by Balthazar.

The General Specific

Had my English Trial exam today, wrote a good speech and a decent essay. The same will not be said tomorrow, death by modules.
These photos are the result of 2:17am procrastination from Saturday night, I got bored and had no internet due to restrictions put in place by my parents.
The other is the autobiography of Bobby Sands, called 'One Day In My Life', it's at the top of my post Trials purchase list. For those who don't know, Bobby Sands was an Irish man who died on a hunger strike while in HM Prison Maze. A movie was made in 2008 about said hunger strike, it's called 'Hunger' and it a work of brilliance, I strongly recommend you make this a priority watch.
Also discovered this weekend was the photography of James Nachtwey, who photographed the war in various countries. The photo I uploaded is from Rwanda, of a man who survived the Hutu death camp. His pictures are amazing. Here's his gallery, if you go to Deeds of War, then the first photo is from the Bobby Sands hunger strike.
Currently listening to a playlist made by my lover Lora, the song in the title is one of my favourites off it, along with Fifteen Floors by Balthazar and Sunlight by Harlem Shakes. She really does have amazing taste in music, massive respect.
