hair .

last year, during an english class, my extremely wise teacher, mr morris, told us that there comes a certain time in a woman’s life where she cuts her hair. now because my teacher is a funny guy and likes to over analyse things, i let it go and thought about other things instead.

but i thought about it again the other day.

first, i thought about my own mother. i can’t pinpoint the exact year that she chose to cut off her long and rather pretty hair, but it must have been sometime in her early thirties. there’s a video of us when she was about thirty three, and she had really long curly hair and bright red lipstick, and i must admit she was quite a picture.

out of the blue .

have you ever come across anything that made so much sense, but you still found it hard to believe? i mean sure, there are heaps of flaws in the logic that you could argue against, but in the end it makes more sense their way than it does yours. are you just being stubborn? or is it because your way of thinking is stuck way too far in your head?

out of the blue today i was inspired by someone completely random and unexpected. he wasn’t someone i’d expect to be inspired by, or someone i consider anything out of the ordinary really.

inscrutable .

APPARENTLY i’m a complex person. i’m not sure what kind of complex, just complex. according to them.

“them” is the people that kind of know me, i guess. maybe a couple know me pretty well. a few probably hardly know me at all. thems all think i’m complex.

i’ve come across it before, but i’ve never thought much of it. but today, when someone said it to me, i started wondering why. what reason would they have to think that i’m not a simple and shallow person? what signs have i exhibited that have hinted complexities? and how would they know?

reloaded .

soundtrack: the sound of home // thoughts: about being right here, right now

i’m back! and god, does it feel weird.

a couple of things have changed; christmas decorations are everywhere, my room smells kind of funny and the new wordpress dashboard was instated when i was away. it has all come as a huge shock to me, really. after all, i was only gone for seven days.

so how was my trip? i would have to say that it opened my eyes to many new things.

going, going, gone .

soundtrack: nothing really // thoughts: of a journey

i’m going away! i’ll be back in 7 days, on the 9th of december, with lots of photos and stories. the excitement just wore off, probably because i’ve finished packing. i can’t believe it’s december already. furthermore, i can’t believe it is the december, the end, of my high school life.

i still haven’t been bored so far, which is a good sign. i have a feeling that things are going to slow down soon, though, especially after coffs. but i’m going to enjoy this while i can. the good stuff is all gone though; formal, post-hsc parties, post-hsc relief.

so what now?

countdown .

 soundtrack: shayne ward; melt the snow // thoughts: nerdnerdnerd

man my tag cloud makes me look like a nerd. but please, listen to me explain!

i started tagging yesterday, and i found that my blogs are all about the most random shit ever. i currently have eight pages of tags, which is more than 200 tags altogether. it’s because i always find something different to write about, and the really big ones are the constants in my life; therefore hsc, study, etc have more posts to them. it’s really not because i’m a nerd or anything. honestly.

incredible .

soundtrack: taj monroe; guilty innocence // thoughts: of now and forever

everything’s pretty dull now. there’s not much school left. i never thought it would be so fast. now the season that seemed incredible has come. it’s true. except this is the beginning, not the end. where do we go from here?

i think i’ll look forward to a reunion, years down the track. it’s unimaginable, how people will turn out. maybe we’ll all meet in twenty years time, and be completely changed people. but hopefully completely changed people that will be able to get along.

now hiring .

soundtrack: nothing distinct // thoughts: of wants and needs

i’m hiring a best friend. because i’ve realised that i haven’t had one for a while. like since year two when we went around saying “can i have a chip, i’ll be your best friend.”

so my requirements are as follows:

# interesting to talk to, never runs out of things to say, interested in profound discussion

# will talk to me until 7am because i need it
