ok, i may have forgotten this existed.

It's been such a long time since I have posted a blog, my last post was just after Gisele was born. She's 10 months old now, and can make her way around my bedroom and onto my bed.
Joy.

I've finished Year 11, top of Biology and possibly Art. My HSC starts in 13 days, so I'm already stressed/preparing.

I'm still taking underwater photos, hoping to get better at it eventually :D

My most recent:

this picture is impossible. by =fyrespryte on deviantART

But at least it is finally beach weather so I can do some more underwater shots where there isn't pool tiles for the background...

down the rabbit hole. by =fyrespryte on deviantART

Anyways, I'm going to try to use this as more of journal like I did before. It's kind of interesting to be able to see what I was thinking about years ago.

Introducing to the world- Gisele Aurelia

Born on the 30th November 2009, at 7.52 pm (8 to 8)
Weighing 2.7 kilos.
Measuring at 52cms

Looking adorable :)

Year 10 Formal

very good night.

5 days until due date.

I don't think I have ever had so many mixed emotions about an event in my whole life.
Although, I am really sick of people asking Mum "Is this your first?" when Allira and I are standing right next to her.
And at least everything is now ready for the baby.

On another note, Mum and Glen finally got married on the 6th of November. The night before was so stressful for everyone, and it was such a relief when everything worked out in the morning.




I also got an underwater camera at the wedding, something I have wanted for almost a year now. It is so much fun to mess around with, and considering my family spends half the Summer at the beach/pool it's going to get so much use...


It's almost time for my year 10 formal, worried that my heels are going to push me over the 6 foot mark. Very hopefully not :)
And in my defense, they are Mum's gold glitter heels, not mine.

Finished with the School Certificate. I'm fairly sure I did well in Science and Maths, but that's about it at this stage.

I'm having lot's of fun with this camera, trying to think of lots of different artsy photos that I can attempt-

Also, 40 days until Christmas, I am so excited. Easily the best day of the year.

xx.

new art.

i've decided that if i am going to spend my HSC years being marked on my art, i should start drawing/painting whenever i can.
i'm not sure, but i think i like it...



life is good.
confusing though :)

x.

slow... down...

Last night's ritual was amazing.
I would like to thank Helen, and everyone who made the ritual so special.

The heat of Rose Cottage... the meditation... the halo around the moon... the storm on the horizon... 13 witches in attendance...

It all made for a wonderful night, and I loved being back at the cottage.


It was strange to have some thinking time to myself last night. Usually I feel as though my mind is going a million miles an hour.
Mum's pregnancy...
subject selections (now visual arts, english extension, geography, chemistry, biology and mathematics)...
15 year old soon-to-be-alcoholics (not me of course)...
assignments! bluergh...
broken friendships... and new and improved friendships...

All going around in my mind in a continuous circle. I guess it's frustrating at times, but I need to learn to go 'blank' and just stop.


Art helps though. I had the idea of photocopying a bunch of things that were important to me, and this was the result-

remnants of a ritual. by ~fyrespryte on deviantART
I'd recommend giving it a try, the results can be pretty surprising.

Family barbecue tomorrow, with the grandparents, for Mum's birthday (09/09/09) and Father's Day. And the Newcastle Knights game, which is very important. Yes, I am a rugby league fan. Why do some people get shocked by that? Anyways, this game basically decides whether or not we are in the semi-finals. Very. Important.

Going to make Tiramisu in a bit, be jealous :)
love, x.

holidays!

I know I haven't blogged in ages, life has been pretty insane around here.

There is Mum, who has just reached the half-way mark, pregnancy-wise. We can hear the baby's heartbeat pretty well now, even though my heartbeat still comes up as either -20 or 200 on the Doppler.


I finished Biology at Uni. I got myself a High Distinction :)
Now I am ready to start all over again with a Uni Chemistry course.

School is dying down at the moment, most of the talk is about what HSC subjects everyone is going to pick. I've decided I want to go to the University of Technology in Sydney to get a 'Bachelor of Forensic Biology in Biomedical Science'. I still don't know what subjects for sure and I am at 15 units, which is 3 more than recommended...
- Advanced English
- Mathematics Extension 1
- Earth and Environmental Sciences
- Biology
- Chemistry
- Visual Arts
- Ancient History

Something tells me I need to cut down on some subjects.

Then there is the holidays, which started this afternoon. I am going away for a few days with friends and hopefully there will be many more get-togethers. And we will finally have the 1950's Murder party which has been planned for ages because Paul needs to use his 'How to Host a Murder Party' kit.

So, excitement all round for my life at the moment.

first blog in a while.

Hahahaha.

I must have really paid attention in my 'Why Bother with Sex?' University lecture...

15/15! Mum must be so proud.



On another note, Glen is finally in Australia and I get to see him tomorrow. First time in 8 years :)

What a great weekend I seem to be having.

Odyssey of the Mind

Otherwise known as making a fool of yourself for no reason.



"Superstition
The problem is to create and present a performance that includes two documented superstitions, an original superstition created by the team, and the origin. The performance will also include a funny narrator, a costume that is worn by two or more team members at the same time, and a stage set. During the performance the same stage set items will transform into something else. "



We won the 'Oustanding OMer' award.
And we also beat the other team in our division.

Because I get to play Poseidon.

And the latest of Bianca's completely out of the blue decisions...
I'm going to do University Chemistry next.
I'm hoping it will help me with forensic pathology later on.
And Paul will be in my class :)

Tomorrow I have my 'Odyssey of the Mind' performance. I get to pretend to be a pirate and the sea God Poseidon in front of judges and an audience. I'm very nervous and very excited. I should have a video of it tomorrow, as long as mum records it.

much love
xx

I'm so tired, and I have to do a test on Cellular Respiration and Fermentation tonight. Argh.
'Energy to power cell work must be “withdrawn” from carbohydrate & fat “savings” & converted to ATP “cash”.'
I think I'm going insane here.

One of the Top 10 funniest photos of my life-

Apparently I'm pretty obvious.

I tend to have good dreams with people in it that I didn't think actually had a place in my subconscious.


Do you learn from your mistakes or find yourself constantly repeating
them?
Me? Mistakes?
Ha.

Cold weather. Easily. Or being cold because I'm swimming.

Last night funnily enough.


Do you have or plan on having children?
I plan on having them.

The yellow ones.


Do you support war?
No! The people that get killed aren't even involved most of the time.


Are you truly happy with your life?
Happy, but not truly.


How often do you cry?
I was crying about an hour ago. I'm like a fudging sprinkler lately.


Have you ever met someone who just had you at hello?
He had me at *hello i'm going to walk through the door and shine at you*
That's right, you know who you are.
Actually, no you probably don't.
Because I'm subtle like that :)

Live underwater.

A very, very fine line. And it doesn't take much to cross it.

i love hot topic.


well that was a waste of time :)

frickin womb sisters.

Well we walked into the nurses room and the woman actually asked which one of us was pregnant.

I heard the heart beat! And the swishing of it's 'womb sister' (The name a bunch of crazy pregnant ladies on this website gave the placenta. They actually leave the placenta on the baby until it falls off...)

Me (reading out loud)-
"If a pregnant woman, overwhelmed by pains, is not able to deliver, you must rub her thighs with a sardonyx and say: "Just as you, stone of sardonyx, have shone on the first angel by the order of God, in the same way, you, child, come shine as a man who lives in God". Then, she will place this same sardonyx at the baby’s exit, to the exit of her sex, and she will say: "Open, paths and doors, just as for the appearance by which Christ, God, and man, has appeared and has opened the doors of hell; and you, baby, cross this door without dying and without making your mother die". At this moment, you must place this stone in a belt around her, and she will be eased."
Mum-
"I swear to God, if anyone tries to stick a crystal up my vagina..."

Here's one for me!
"If someone goes mad, or is in some way prey to fantasies, you must rub a magnet with saliva, and, with the stone, rub the nape of his neck, then his forehead while saying: "Bad madness, yield to this power by which God has transformed the devil’s power into kindness for man, sent forth from the high sky". And the patient will find his spirits."

Emma
This girl can either frustrate me or make me explode with laughter. She's my photography buddy, and I'd freeze my ass off for her any day. And she is there for me, when I need her and sometimes when I don't...

Before our haircuts-

Mum's home...

And she brought a lot of stuff!

I now have...
-MY BIOLOGICAL SCIENCE BOOK! AHHH!
-A Disturbed shirt
-An Iron Maiden shirt
-Black and white striped gloves and a black and red checkered scarf.
-An Emily the Strange shirt that says "I need you like a hole in my head."
-Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs. Only the best chocolate ever.
-Purple, black and white Jack Skellington Pajamas. I love them so much.
-A Jack Skellington Christmas stocking.
-A cauldron from Lori Cabots shop in Salem, From Glen.
-A small amp for my electric guitar, which I need to buy headphones for.
-A SpongeBob toy from Burger King.
-$100 American dollars! I'm so excited, because this means I can buy myself an Underwater Camera! I'm going to give Glen the money to buy it duty-free. Well, that's the plan anyway :)

Mum's already asleep on the lounge.


On another subject...
I know I mention a lot of people in my blog, but most of you don't even know who they are. So each blogpost I am going to try and introduce some of these people. I'll start with Paul, because he actually said my blog was 'an interesting read'.

Paul
Paul is the ex-boyfriend from two years ago and one of my best friends right now, even after about 2 years of not talking. Conversation with this guy is NEVER boring, and he can make me laugh, although I am usually laughing at him. For anyone who watches the IT Crowd, Paul is exactly like Maurice Moss, even though he tries to deny it. My sister seems to like him a lot, mostly because of his blue eyes and his abnormally large tongue. It's really a love-hate friendship, especially when he steals my noodles :)
