on a rolllllllllll.

so for the second night in a row i have found myself writing a blog, wowzers.

so school's out on friday. hallelujah. then soon i will be in the wonderfully glorious country that is europe, which i will blog about, for an entire month. squeeeee. but then alas when i return i will be going into what is my final year of high school. the big one. what all this has built up to. the dreaded pressures of year bloody twelve. but on the plus side there's the common room and being top of the school. even though it sounds horrible but i do, a little bit, like having the power of making people move in the corridors or up the stairs so that i can get through cue evil laughter, not really. but seriously, i think this power is going to my head. poor little year seven's. it's funny to think that, when in year seven, i looked at the year twelves and pretty much saw these smart adults who did copious amounts of homework in really difficult subjects. pffft. yeah. whatever. adults? what was i thinking? i still act as though i'm thirteen, and homework? what homework? i don't remember doing much of that this year. and as for mature, i think the picture speaks for itself.



secretly i'm still a little year seven on the inside.

and it's flippin' awesome.
and i must admit i have a crush on tom felton and rupert grint.

mmmmm mexican



so the other night was my sisters birthday. i am now the sister to a fourteen year old. weird. but anyway she decided she wanted to have a mexican fiesta for her birthday dinner filled with tacos and enchiladas overflowing with mince, cheese, lettuce, guacamole taco sauce and mounds of sour creams. mmm sour cream. anyway me, being the brilliant person that i am, came up with the idea to make it a real fiesta and dress up with ponchos and moustaches. so that's what we did. mum and i went to spotlight and bought material to which we cut holes in for our heads and bought black face paint for our moustaches. when we came out my sister burst out laughing and was scared that people would see us throught the windows.

long time no see

why hello there, remember me? i am sorry for neglecting you internet, i have missed talking to you, i just haven't had the time to write to you. not really my life is just so uninteresting and i am lazy.

so ages ago i was given a blog award! holy moly! it was given t
o me by this amazing person LAURA


The rules of the tag are:

1. Post who gave you this award2. State 10 things you like
3. Give this award to 10 other bloggers (but i can't do this because i do not know of any *sadface*) and notify them with a comment






so as i have already answered 1. here are 10 things that i like, enjoy:

numéro un: HARRY POTTER.

i love starting to read one of them and then look to check the time and wow 2 hours has gone past. i love getting lost in the book and being invited into another world and not caring abut anything outside because you are in that world.

numéro deux: youtube

charlie

alex

mac

PJ

these are 4 of the people that i love to watch. and if you can't watch all of them watch pj, his videos are amazing, i always look forward to watching one of his creations they are truly great. when i watch them they make me feel so, i can't explain it, but i love it.

numéro trois: creepy trees













I love the way the the branches and twigs intertwine it looks magical.



numéro quatre: television
i thought about having a point for each tv show but there would be too many, i c
onfess i am a tv junkie, so i am going to make a list here :) in no particular order:

  • NCIS
  • Merlin
  • Rush
  • White Collar
  • Doctor Who
  • Torchwood
  • Skins
  • Top Gear
  • Glee
  • Spicks and Specks
  • United States of Tara
  • Miss Marple
  • Poirot
  • Burn Notice
  • Malcolm in the Middle
just to name a few

numéro cinq: la famille
now i know it's not cooool or whatever to be seen out with your parents in public when you're 17 (because i'm 17 in three days!) but i quite enjoy the company of my family. of course they can annoy the bejeebers out of me but i love them.

numéro six: food

food glorious foooooooooooood. yum yum in my tum. i know i am
only young but yes i am a bit of a food snob. both my parents but mostly my dad are real foodies so when we go out for dinner it's goooood. i'll eat just about anything in any cuisine except for like liver and shit like that. japanese, indian, middle eastern, french, italian, south african you name it, i like it. except tomato. ew. and i flippin' hate masterchef.

numéro sept: the mighty melbourne demons

cale morton 10 ♥

i. love. them. i will always go to watch them play (when i can) no matter how bad they play or how low they are on the ladder. to all those people who gave up on them and left shame on you. this season has been great though, missed out on the finals but here's hoping for next year.

numéro huit: my friends or lack of


you know when you're telling a story and you say "oh yeah my friend da dada da da" and it's never usually your friend but it's just easier than explaining who this person is well that happens a lot to me. i only have few close friends, i mean i'm not a complete loner i talk with quite a lot of people at my school but really when i think about it i only have one really close friend.

numéro neuf: volcanoes

Mt. Yasur, Vanuatu 2010 - i took this photo, that is how close we were to falling in.

not the outcome of them but i find them really interesting. in
july last year i had the amazing experience of climbing a live volcano in Vanutatu. i was one of the most terrifying, magical, mind-blowing things of my life. before we went we had to sign a form saying that if we fell in/died then it was the responsibility of the hotel, haha. we then set off on the bumpiest road trip in the back of a ute for 2 hours, and once we reached the volcano we climbed it. there were no railings or anything like that one step and you were in the lava. every couple of minutes there would be a rumble and there would be a mini explosion of lava.

numéro dix: music

i am never without my trusty friend mr. ipod. when you find that song that just expresses the exact mood your in is the best feeling. there is a song for everything. music says things that people can't and is always there.

i promise it won't be as long until my next post.
au revoir mes amies x

gloooom















right at this very moment i am meant to be writing my 600-800 worded newspaper article for my english SAC of which i have written 0 words so far, so i thought i'll write a blog. because that seems logical.

so school went back for me this week, stupid public school short 2 week holidays. and i cannot believe it has only been one week! it already feel as though school has been back for at least a month. i think i am going to be no more, be taken, breathe one's last, cease to exist, conk, croak, decease, demise, depart, drop, drop off, drown, expire, finish, i've up the ghost, go way of all flesh, kick the bucket, perish, relinquish life, succumb, suffocate, die as i am remembering that there is still around 9 weeks left of this term and then another 3981563284789 after that.

i'm sure you will be happy to know that i am up to 346 words now.

493.


so it's been almost 72 hours since i started writing this and don't worry i finished my english. i'm sorry i haven't written in ages it's just i've had nothing really to write about.

i have noticed on facebook that people are always posting status like "i can't go on" what's the point in trying" and depressing lyrics. seriously shut the fuck up you are depressing my newsfeed. you'd think that they'd understand that nobody really cares and that there attention seeking scheme hasn't worked because nobody comments on them.

i mean if you really are unhappy disregard that last part and i'm and truly sorry if you are here's a smiley face for you: :) ♥

but seriously otherwise i would love you to leave my newsfeed alone.

that was bitchy. talking about bitchy, i have discovered over the years that girls are so mean. what makes us this way, why do we feel the need to be so mean! it's horrible. at school i was eavesdropping, don't judge me you do it too, and anyway for the whole 50 minutes these girls were just bitching about another girl. and yes this girl had done some things wrong but what the other two girls were saying behind her back was just low. now i'm not going to lie i've done my fair share of bitching but i have also been on the other end with girls bullying me. it never stops. there will always be someone who ruins everything. we just need to stop and think. bullying really affects people and it's a horrible feeling if it's being done to you. what kind of people feel better about themselves but bring others down. horrible horrible horrible.



and could the fruitlooping sun come back, i mean i am loving the winterness but i think my body is turning into ice i need to be thawed out.

recent happenings.

as you can see i have failed dismally at writing a blog every day for thirty days. i apologise. and as it has been forever since we last spoke i thought i would inform you on my riveting life on which i have not blogged about.

one.
pinch and a punch for the first of the month for four days ago.

two. fuck yeah holidays.
wow i swore on the internets for the first time that's how excited i am about this. the reason i never type swearing really is silly, even though while speaking out loud i do swear when i type it, to me, it just seems way harsher, anyway there's my reason.



three. my hair is partially "rich burgundy" which is fading now

check out ma paiiint skiilllllllllllllz

four. i bought my formal dress :D
sass and bide - half price! so worth it :D


five. DOCTOR WHO!
this holidays obsession. (previous holidays obsessions - malcolm in the middle, the oc, gossip girl, merlin, ncis, skins) in my own tradition of having an obsession of a TV show every holidays the newest addition is doctor who. i really don't mean it but my mum pointed out to me that this occurs every holidays. this week i watched the whole second series. i haven't watch the first, you see i started with the david tennant one's. and in relation to my last post about crying. spoiler alert. while watching the finale, the doctor and rose were separated forever, it was so sad! i was crying of course. that day we had people working on our roof and as soon as it had finished they walked in saying they were leaving while i was sobbing in my pj's watching doctor who. it. was. embarrassing.

six. i am seeing eclipse tomorrow. my sister didn't like it but she told me that she saw the preview for harry potter and the deathly hallows. i think i am more excited to see a two and a half minute clip of harry potter than 124 minutes of eclipse.

there you have it.

cinq. grey's, skins, ice age, titanic and of course harry.

i know i haven't blogged in two days, it's disgraceful, i made a promise and i broke it. i am sorry. and this one will be shit because i slept for 4 hours last night. you know i was partayyyying hard while the rents were out. hardcore. really me and my friends watched the whole first season of glee in one night.

crying. i think i do it too often. sometimes for no reason at all a wash of sadness will come over me and the tiniest of things can set of the water works. this happened the other day in fact when someone de-friended of facebook. silly really. but if i really need to cry all i have to do is watch any movie or even t.v show. i'm such a pansy. in every episode of grey's anatomy someone passed away which was so sad, so of course i cried, i no longer watch the show now. skins was another one that brought me to tears on a number of occasions. i cried in ice age, you know when they think diego (the tiger) is dead, my 9 year old self cried her heart out, pretty sure i still would. nothing, though, compares to the titanic, it is the saddest movie of them all. while me and my friend ally were watching it, she had never seen it, we were bawling, not just a few tears but streams and streams pouring down our faces while sobbing into our tissues. we're not watching it again. even while reading a book i have begun to cry. in new moon (yes i've read the twilight saga, i liked it but
harry potter rules all!) when edward left bella in the woods i shed a few tears but nothing like i did whilst reading harry potter and the deathly hallows. there was so many deaths: remus, tonks, hedwig, fred, mad eye, and as harry was walking to his death the words his parents spoke to him made me cry. what affected me most though was the death of dobby the house elf. while reading the images of harry digging the elf's grave and dobby's cute little elf face were pictured in my head and i found myself once again blubbering away.

i think it's good though, to have a cry every once in a while, just to let everything out and have a good ol' fashioned cry, even for no reason at all.


gets me every time.

quatre. photographs.

last term in media we had to choose a topic and represent them like they are in the media. working at a café i figured coffee would be a good one. after the whole process of taking the pictures and processing it at school the film decided to come out clear. so then as i was short on time i had to take digital photos instead. here was the end result:



where the coffee beans began.



the wonderful laura at her coffee machine,



and her creations,



and artwork.



a 13 year old drinking coffee?



and the end of the journey of what used to be a coffee bean.

trois. silence is deafening.

music. it can make you feel happy when you're sad or just let you feel what you need to feel. without music i would be lost. music for me is almost everything whatever mood i'm in there is always something to listen to on my best friend trusty mr. ipod. music is always playing in the background and in a way comforting me. music has been there when people haven't. i owe so much to music. i may have bad hearing when i'm older but hey, that won't stop me and my ipod. too bad the radio has a habit of ruining perfectly good songs. except triple j. which i have begun to listen to more. there they play a range of different music not just boppy techno-ised stuff. i enjoy listening to all the non-mainstream music for a change, it's nice. so i ask what does music mean to you?
la musique.

deux. moi

hello, nice to meet you, my name is ella (the older one in the picture). i have the cutest dog in the world and a psycho cat. my life consists of school, basketball and working at Our Kitchen Table (go there it's great!). that's pretty much it. once i find something/someone i like i obsess over it; harry potter, youtube vloggers (charlie, alex, mac to name a few), malcolm in the middle, glee, the midnight beast. the list goes on.
don't tell me a blonde joke, i've heard them all. as soon as my hair starts changing i will dye it, maybe something radical like jet black or fiery red. i hardly ever wear make up i do not see the point. i could never not eat, food is just too good. i have a tendency to speak french but if you ask me to say something in french i won't. i will not do something because everyone is doing it i will do something i want to. i am a bit of an environmentalist. i watch too much t.v. i seem to be pretty pessimistic although i don't mean to. my room looks like a bomb hit it. i do not drink or smoke. whenever i can i go to the MCG to watch my melbourne demons play, they. are. amazing. i have vegemite on toast pretty much every morning. i could not live without my ipod. seriously. i wish i could play a musical instrument. my favourite colour is red. i am just thinking up random facts to make this longer :)

peace ♥.

une. saving lives

so there's this challenge that i have been told to do which is to write a blog everyday for the next 30 days and it seems as though many people are doing this so i though i would jump on the bandwagon and do it too. i'm hoping these will be interesting as holidays are coming up so i will have plenty of time to write them whether or not there will be plenty of content to write about is a diffent story, but here goes.

today i saved lives. i didn't go into a burning buliding or save someone from a wreckage or anything amazing like that all i did was donate blood. it took the whole of 5 and a half minutes to extract 470mls of blood from my puny arm. just by doing this someone is alive and it was so simple. then this afternoon i read that only 1 out of 30 people donate blood when 1 in 3 of us will need it. seeing this statistic upset me a bit, i understand that not everyone can donate but there are still millions who can who do not. only one in thirty people are donating blood! that is not enough. we need to suck it up and give back. so what you have to have a needle, toughen up. when that needle is going in imagine all those people in accidents or with cancer and what they are going through, they need our help and i am proud to say i have, and will, continue to give blood when i can. so should you. just think when looking at the bruise someone is alive because of you. it's a great feeling.

the demons and harry potter.

so i realised it's been a week since i wrote me last blog so i thought i should probably write one now, but the thing is my life has been so utterly uneventful that i don't really have that much to say.
so it was the long weekend and i went to the football on monday to see the mighty mighty deez play against collingwood (i have a joke: what has 100 legs and 4 teeth? the collingwood cheer squad. budoom chhhh) in the queens birthday clash. it. was. a. draw. oh. my. god. i've been going to the football since i was four and never ever ever have i seen a draw. i mean it's great we didn't lose but still a draw, really, why couldn't we have just won! it was interesting though, at the end we were all like what do we do? neither of the songs are played and all the players looked like they had just lost the game.

so pretty much what happened was when the siren went everyone just got up and left. it was so weird.

i also read harry potter and the deathly hallows again. it was epic. i cried. I LOVE HARRY POTTER. the harry potter wizarding world theme park has its grand opening tomorrow but alas it's a million kilometres away in orlando and they are telling me it's going to cost way more than i have in the bank to go to this magical world which sucks. but on a positive note harry potter and the deathly hallows part one in november :) bloody twilight saga pushing all hp's back. we all know harry potter is hands down just overall more awesome than twilight don't get me wrong though i read the saga and i enjoyed it and i don't mind the movies but still harry potter rules all full stop. no matter how upset down you're feeling harry will always make it better.

as the wise professor Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore said- "Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light."

rebellious

hi hi :) so ohmygoodness harry potter and the deathly hallows trailer!!!!! (multiple exclamation points needed)

if you didn't know already, you know now that i am probably the least rebellious teenager ever. i really just don't see the point in making my parents mad, i mean call me crazy but i actually like and respect my parents, i wouldn't just go out and do something because they told me not to. i don't understand why people do it? i mean don't they feel bad? i know i feel terrible if i felt i've done something wrong, like once i snuck out with my friend and we got caught and she didn't feel anything at all but i felt so bad and my mum wasn't even angry at me . i pretty much fail as a teenager haha. but i really would like to know what possesses people to be "rebellious". the most rebellious thing i have done is get my ear pierced up the top and a second one on my lobe to which i told/asked my mum if i could do it anyway. i am really excited because i got the second one in my lobe done today so now because i am hardcore i have three piercings in one ear. and that's how exciting my life gets. ohyeah.

hello, bonjour, hey, howdy, hi, yo yo, what's crackalackin'? ever wished you went to hogwarts? opened your wardrobe in hope to find a magical world behind the door? become a dragonrider? how awesome would that be, i'll tell you, supercalafragalisticexpialadotious awesome. i have often dreamt about pulling out my wand to help protect myself and my fellow three best friends harry ron and hermione or gallavanting around Narnia with lucy, susan, peter and edmund and flying dragons with eragon. the other night actually i had a dream that ron weasly was my boyfriend and he was coming to pick me up from my house so we could go to hogwarts together but i had to finish packing my trunk and then much to my dismay i awoke to the sound of my alarm pulling me back into reality. how i wished it wasn't so. dreams are just so unfair. although i am glad some of my dreams aren't true (who wants to be chased around by massive dinosaurs? no one that's who).


ps. i have a slight crush on skandar keynes , the guy who plays edmund



that was short. x

phake

why hello there internet, how's it hangin'. before i started this blog i thought maybe i'll give vlogging a go since i am a little addicted to youtube, until i realised that my webcam doesn't video. now, i have a pretty new laptop and it has a built in webcam and takes photos and everything and also has windows movie maker. so why go to all the trouble of putting in a webcam and loading the laptop with a video editor if it's not even going to video? just to make sure i typed in google (because google has the answer to all) acer crystal eye webcam video and turns out it not just me being blind but it really doesn't have a video feature. stupid.

so today my aunty came down and was saying how she loved year 11 and all the social things that happened in the year and it just got me thinking, i'm not at all. me being really cool (as you can see in the picture), i have never been invited to a party party and yeah it's annoying but what am i really missing out on? people drinking way too much and hooking up with people they barely know, ooooh fun. yet when i hear about a party i still get annoyed, i mean don't get me wrong midsummer murders on a saturday night is hard to beat. and then we are bobmarded with all these tv shows where we see teens (who are really being played by 24-28 year olds) going out and partying and doing all these things and i think i don't do that and people my age do not look like that, it's just so unrealistic. also i just watched some silly disney movie with my sister "starstruck" or something like that where the "ordinary" girl hates the "star" then they get stranded together and fall in love. they are my age and shit like that just doesn't happen.

all this just gives us an idea of what we are supposed to be doing and it's just all fake, majority of people aren't. i mean take the show "secret life of the american teenager" if our lives were actually like that we would be sleeping around and getting pregnant at 15, um no thankyou. and you see the year 8's at school who are piling on the makeup i mean really you look like a dessert and are all "like OMG no way, totally, eheh" it's a bit funny actually but also kinda sad. we shouldn't be doing this these things that, these shows and characters we idolise aren't real,THEY AREN'T REAL.

that was all a bit serious wasn't it. until we meet again x
