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
