handyman .

today i will allow you all to glimpse an extremely shallow part of my character. have i ever told you that i really liked shoes?

well, in light of the sudden understanding that a shelf will not build itself, i finally did some shelf building yesterday.

it was a little difficult at first, mostly because wood is soft and a wrench is hard (and rather painful when you drop on your feet).

but slowly and surely i assembled my new shoe rack! the only problem is, there are three more shoe spaces before i’ll need to buy myself a new one.

assembly .

did something amazing today! i built a set of drawers. the sense of accomplishment i’m feeling is rather breathtaking, actually. i’m extremely pleased with myself. now only six doors and two bookshelves to go. wowee.

it might not be a big deal for you; assembling a piece of furniture. but it’s a big deal to me. i’m a lazy city girl who’s hoobies are like, shopping. i’ve never assembled anything more than my shoe straps in my life. and a piece of furniture is a pretty big deal.

okay, so maybe it was from ikea. maybe it had instructions. maybe everything i needed was already in the box. but it doesn’t matter; it was all a bunch of painted wood and i put it together!

judgement day .

 soundtrack: nikki flores; let it slide // thoughts: of today and tomorrow

sick today, so i stayed home. spent the whole afternoon online putting my gallery up. you can now view the photos of my coffs trip here. and there’s also a couple of links to my gallery, one on the sidebar and one that you can’t really see at the top. yay!

my older photos are still linked to my msn space though. please tell me if the links do not work for you; i’ve been having some technical difficulties with stupid windows live spaces. i’ve decided to keep it for now because at the moment i’m too cheap to purchase the wordpress space upgrade, and i’m still on 3gb. in consideration of my future photos, i have decided to leave some space.

with all formalities at an end . . .

 soundtrack: one chance; all in // thoughts: of some aspects of life

my formal photos are up. surprisingly, i took more photos (both of myself and other people) at tech formal. maybe because my dress was prettier at tech formal, and also $1.10 more expensive.

so basically, that was the end of my high school life. never again will i be with all those people, and our time will be just a figment of our memory. however, unlike most, i was not overly sentimental about it. i did not go around professing love for those i obviously did not love, nor did i tell people i’d miss them as i knew i would not. basically i’m just a very honest person. i never understood the need to tell everyone you’d miss them, actually. i wonder if the girls that said it knew it was a blatant lie.

a lack of depth .

soundtrack: the pouring rain // thoughts: are rather shallow

i’m tired. post hsc has been a lot busier than i thought it would be. which is good, considering the amount of people that have been complaining about being bored. i don’t think i’ve been bored so far, and if i have, i can’t remember it because my memory has been filled with a lot of other stuff. yay for me.

tech formal was last night. it was alright; a bit dark, i think, especially in the beginning when i wanted to be able to see. my lack of knowledge of mainstream music left me off the dance floor until the classics at the end, which i’ve noticed are played literally every time there is a dance of some sort. i wonder what our formal music will be like.

the calm after the storm .

soundtrack: people talking // thoughts: of the present

blogging at work experience because there’s not much to do. not that i expected they’d let me sell houses or anything, but since i get a computer, at least i can blog.

so what have i been doing? partying, sleeping, eating, partying. 

dean’s party was good because everyone (save a few) got tipsy and let go of all their inhibitions. consequently i now have incriminating photographs of many of my friends. i put them on my msn space, not FACEBOOK, because i’m stubborn like that.

utopia .

click here for photos of my dinner thing.

clean room. warm weather. early sunrise. late sunset.

ideal universe.

but it’s missing;

# a great deal of compassion

# sharing and caring

just one left .

soundtrack: vitamin c; graduation // thoughts: about the future

photos of muck up / mock assembly / year 12 farewell are here. it was a rather emotional day, really. for me, the speeches, more than anything set the mood off, but there were a lot of people that were crying before the assembly (and even last week). a whole bunch of common and personal memories were brought up in the speeches of many people, some good, others not so good. luckily (sort of) for me, i got mentioned three times, which is quite a lot as it is difficult to mention everyone, meaning that as a memory i will live in many other’s hearts…
