The Boondock Saints.

"The Boondock Saints", a movie, has provided one of those most inspirational speeches I've heard in a long while. I'm not religious, but the message is pretty much no matter when or what you do, if you do something morally bad, karma will get you, and you will be punished for it. The Boondock Saints, three irish meat factory workers, will kill you, and take on the burden of your sin.. then when their time comes they'll pay for it.

"Now you will receive us. We do not ask for your poor or your hungry. We do not want your tired and sick. It is your corrupt we claim.It is your evil that will be sought by us.With every breath, we shall hunt them down.Each day we will spill their blood til it rains down from the skies.Do not kill, do not rape, do not steal, these are principles which every man of every faith can embrace.These are not polite suggestions. These are codes of behavior and those of you that ignore them will pay the dearest cost.There are varying degrees of evil, we urge you lesser forms of filth not to push the bounds and cross over into true corruption, into our domain. But if you do, one day you will look behind you and you will see we three and on that day you will reap it. And we will send you to which ever god you wish.And shepherds we shall be, for thee my Lord for thee, power hath descended forth from thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out thy command. We shall flow a river forth to thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be. In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti"

Events in the past.

I've had a pretty interesting week or two.

Re-kindled
First thing's first, a friend contacted me for the first time after months of ignoring me. I was almost ready to give up on ever trying to fix whatever went wrong, but just out of the blue, he sent me a message on myspace then we talked on MSN pretty much all day. All morning we talked and talked then afterwards he apologized for being a dickhead to me for the last two months. I happily accepted his apology and well, hopefully we're back on track. Things seem okay now, I just hope I don't screw up again. I missed him heaps as a friend and atm I'm just thankful to have him back.. but lately I think I've been annoying him by talking to him on msn too much lol! Oh well, I am a chatterbox. :]

Friday
I met a guy friend of a friend who was in town for a visit. We went to the movies, saw "The Time Traveller's Wife" then walked back to my friend's house. We walked past yet another friend's house and a fight kinda broke out, I had no idea what was going on but honestly i was kinda scared because I thought there was actually going to be a punch up. Luckily that was avoided.. probably because everyone had self control. Either way, the people on both sides of the fight are my friends and I would have been at wits end on how to help. =\ I sorta stayed back and out of it as much as I could.

Saturday
Nothing interesting, stayed home, cleaned a bit, hoped to get in contact with a friend but that didn't happen cause he wasn't on all day. Oh well.

Sunday
Work. Enough said.


I must honestly say I haven't been happier than I am now for some reason.

Eggs are the key to Skin Care?

Sadly, I have horrible skin. I end up going into this crazy cycle every month with my face. At the beginning of every month I usually have clear, fine skin free of noticeable zits (I still have a few small ones but concealer covers them up perfectly). Then, towards the middle of the month, I end up breaking out and it's honestly annoying me. I don't eat much junk food to make my face go like this and every night I wash my face in the shower with a "Clearasil Stayclear wash with microbeads" avaliable at Woolworths for about $10. If I have time I wash my face with it in the morning too. I also use a roll-on gel that helps get rid of the dark circles under my eyes then a facial moisturizer to complete the treatment.

I've been watching a lot of Michelle Phan's make up and skin care tutorials and I found one rather interesting, an "Egg Facial Mask".

This is the link to the video.

So I thought to myself, 'Okay, I'm going to test this' she recommends doing the treatment once a week but I might do it every 4 days or so. Phan claims it's "perfect for oily skin. It helps brighten and tighten the skin." and it also cleans pores.

I'll document my little experiment here, I might start it on Monday. ^_^

Yesterday and Today

Yesterday was my last official day of school. That's insane! No more school books, no more bags, no more areas, teachers, answering to people... holy crap, that is IT, it's.. IT.. It's over. SHIT. It first clicked in drama yesterday, we had a Mexican themed class party and there was this big tray of dip that was simply beautiful (Thank you Demi!=]). Afterwards, Mrs Bailey had a tear because after next week, she's probably not going to see her 'little buttons' again. Awww =[ I can't wait until the final assembly, i don't think there will be a dry eye in the house.

I currently feel sick but i have no idea why.. probably something I ate. Blargh.

Going to the tea club tonight to see a band play. I don't know who the band is, but I think it's gonna be swell since we're all gonna be there.. like, me, taylor, ryan etc... I asked brittany to come cause she hasn't been before and maybe to see if she wanted to get away from her bf for a night lol. Brittany if you're reading this I don't mean it in a nasty way!

I'm over being single, I've been it for 17 years and pretty much it's starting to stink. I dunno why, I guess the loneliness factor is settling in. Eh.. my time will come soon enough. I have that crazy fear if a couple spends too much time together they'll get bored of each other. But that's just me.. I shouldn't think like that cause y'know.. what do I know? I haven't been in one.

And now, im waiting for mum to ring me so I can tell her im feeling sick and dont really think I'm up to going to work today.. Ooh, I lose $48.. it's okay cause I'll go tomorrow, that I get $80 on a sunday.. plus the 3 hours I worked at the pool place this week would probably give me back the money i lost, not all, but some, about $30 I think.. give some.

Currently listening to: Butterfly, Smilk.DK version.

Face in the crowd.

We were once strangers
you and I,
but fate had plans, and our voices touched.
For how long? Long enough to see how
misleading you can be.

We laughed, we talked
we danced under the moon;
How I wished you told me you loved me
but no, it was too soon.
For the feeling, to you, was platonic;
but it played on my heart,
like the winged cherub on his harp

I knew it was too good to be true;
but then another returned to you,
and in the obsessive thoughts of your other;
I was lost, forever.

As fate shoved me from
your life, I fell from my cloud.

And I became just another face in the crowd.

Of bickers and kickers.

I will tell you about my week.

MONDAY
In the afternoon, I sent my mother a text at around 3pm to tell her I was staying back until 6 to do drama work... she didn't believe me AT ALL and for some reason, she suspected that I was lying and sneaking off to see a boy. What irritated me the most was that she stuck to that firm belief like glue and I had no idea where such a thought came from. I was prepared to say she could ring Bianca or Emma to prove I was at drama but I think things have settled down now.. However I can't help but think that she will be careful in where she'll let me go from now on.. all because she feels I lied to her. BUT I DIDN'T.

TUESDAY
The day before drama HSC. I also got a lot done of art and I had finally thought of a direction where my Body of Work would go. So.. go me. :)

We made some last minute changes to our drama performance and would have to quickly explain them to Nicola before the performance tomorrow. We agreed to meet at the area at 7:00! Which sucked cause I usually get up at 7:30 - 8 to go to school.. Ugh. The things I do for those girls. :P

We also had a BIG freak out with the timing. After doing a reading of our script we found the time to be 7min 13sec which made us stay back past 3 to do a timed run with actions.. that turned out to be 8min 30sec.. PHEW. We decided to just pace ourselves and remain calm so that we would keep good time.

WEDNESDAY
HSC drama day.. this day counted for 60% of our final drama mark for the HSC. Let me tell you, it was freaking me out. Our group was first, so we met at art block at about 7:00am so we could have a last minute run through and so we could calm our nerves. I was really nervous!

The time came... and our group performance went off without a hitch! We all knew what we were doing and no one forgot their lines or stumbled! People even laughed at our funny bits.. and some bits we thought weren't funny but oh well, it was our aim to get people to laugh. :)

It turned out Bianca had a BIG FREAKING SPIDER on her drama block through the whole performance and the markers were amazed that she didnt break role because of it. I know I would have! It was a huntsman and it was biiiiig :( we got rid of him but.

Now... my solo didn't go as well as I thought it would.. because guess what. I HAD A MIND BLANK halfway through and forgot my lines. I also feel like I was under time which would pretty much cut my mark in half! I stood there for what felt like a minute just staring at the markers until I finally remembered my line and burst into my performance again. I hated the look the markers gave me... it was like they were studying me as if I was a science project and I got the shivers. Lol.

THURSDAY
Worked on my Art diary a lot today.. Nothing really interesting happened though. I did learn that apparently no one is going back to drama until Mrs Bailey comes back.. which is another week or two I think. So for the next week or so I have two free periods instead of one. Yay.

FRIDAY
Was a friend's birthday today and I got completely ignored.. at least it felt like it.. I'll talk about it some other time. Again, nothing interesting happened... except Beau locked my stuff in the drama studio! I went hunting with Taylor to find Mrs Lawther so I could get the drama key (turned out she was in Lab 7 at the back of the school..) with no luck, we went to the office and the school general assistant.. I think his name was Pete or something.. opened the studio with a magic master key!

Today we also decided to go to the PE staff and ask for some skipping ropes which they said they'd have out on monday. Yay.

Today was also a pink day, and I got to have a chat with a lot of people I don't normally talk to. Was pretty fun.

That was my week in a nutshell! :)

Arghhhh Pirate
