HELLO
Okay so this is from an iPhone so I have no idea if it'll work, but hello civilisation! Not that I can even see anyone's blog. Stupid communist party.
Anyway, China has exceeded my terrible expectations (Y) But it is fucking cold like crazy. Chinese New Year was awesome, setting off firecrackers and watching and listening to other people's firecrackers. It sounds like an army is descending on us. It's still going in. In fact, it woke me up at like, 7am this morning.
We went to Summer Palace today which was super boring, along with every other site seeing area in China. It was so cold and windy, I don't think this year's Australian winter will affect me very much.
Bleh haven't even had the chance to go shopping yet. Everything was so crowded before the new year. Haven't touched my remaining English text yet. God, so anxious about school.
Anyway, now I know that I can blog,, I can go and watch Djokovic kill Hewitt. Thank God they broadcast the Australian Open. I wish Jenny was here lasdfghjk.

bye
Sigh, last day with my internet. I don't understand why China is so anal in the mainland.
Anyway, I've finally finished packing, and I don't see how two suitcases, four Country Road-sized bags and five people will fit into the car.
I was hoping I'd have a remotely interesting last post, seeing as I won't be able to access blog, but those don't exist anymore lkjdakjadsj why isn't my life interesting TT
Gosh, my dog is so unfaithful to me. Already settled down in her new temporary home. I miss her so much :(
Day 8 - The latest random thing that happened to you
I woke up to someone poking around at my window. I think they were clearing stuff like twigs or whatever. So scary.
BLEH I want to see everyone at school.

Heartbroken
So my mum, sister and I are really depressed at the moment because we just took our dog to our family friend's place and it was so sad. The ride there was horrific, because they live in offing Pyrmont and my thighs are scarred from my dog jumping all over the backseat. And they have a male dog there who's not desexed but he's 12 and he was very intent on sniffing my dog's butt. It was so funny, they were running in circles. It's going to be a long three weeks.
Anyway, the rest of the day consisted of house hunting, packing and Vampire Diaries, which is so retarded right now TT But that was my last show, I can't watch anything in China ffs.
Day 7 - One unlucky thing that happened recently
Uhm, this fucking trip, my George P, my dog's George P, Black Friday. Oh lol, they said just one.

G
My eyes fell like two puffs. Freakin' went to bed at 2am and couldn't sleep till 3am because I was lying there, thinking about all those romantic scenes I'd been watching all night. AND I could hear a mosquito buzzing around the room.
Anyway, rushed out to meet Audrey, finding out that Anika last minute cancelled on us. Bus'd to Macquarie and met up with Christine and just talked, and I'm sure the entire food court could hear us. LOL Audrey's lips were so sunburnt, I thought she was wearing lipstick.
Christine left and Audrey and I went to watch Hugo in 3D. Not before buying a whole stack of Maccas and sushi (Y) I was a bit disappointed with the film, it was nominated for so many things, but only one Best Picture, so the more enjoyable parts of the movie were like, set design and things like that because it looked pretty incredible in 3D. AND ASA BUTTERFIELD. He was so beautiful. Totally worth my dead eyes. I had to pee though.
Sometimes, when I'm watching movies in the cinema, I don't feel like I'm focusing on anything. Sometimes, it feels like my eyes just glaze over and I have no idea what I'm looking at.
Got Noggi after and found Christine, Jina, Brandon and Eric, and then Jiani joined me and Jina to go shopping. Bought a few things, and got lots of pens. Big W was really cheap (Y)
Now I'm feeling gross, because I just napped, so it's going to be impossible to fall asleep tonight, And I'm deciding whether to be healthy and eat the vegetarian dinner prepared, or have some Pop Tarts.
So sad, sending my dog off to stay with some family friends tomorrow :( I'm so scared she's going to hate us when we return from China. FAR OUT feeling so unprepared.
Day 6 - Last book you read and your thoughts on it
Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck, because it was only 100 pages out of all the other books. I need to go read it again, because one of the characters is really simple minded and it pissed me off enough that I didn't really pay attention to the point of the novella which was the enduring friendship between him and someone else, so I need to go through that again. Altogether, it was a sweet story. I don't understand the title though.
7:58 PM
I couldn't do it
I just sobbed my heart out. Titanic, how do you always do this to me?

Thank you, Elaine (Y)
Last night, I was reading New Moon, reigniting my love for it 8) Seriously, I still love Twilight, reading the books makes me forget about the terrible movie franchise. I love how each time I reread a story, I can usually discover something new, like a word I didn't understand previously, or a meaning behind something, or a reference to something else. But there's still one thing I can't understand in Breaking Dawn, where Emmett makes an innuendo or something about Bella's sex life. I DON'T GET IT.
Blue cheese makes me gag. Or maybe it's just the one we have. It's so salty, I'll get hypertension if I eat half of it. And it's MOULD! Or mold.
Bleh okay, back to packing for China, camp, and slowly packing my house away TT
Day 5 - Recent development in one particular relationship of yours
Uhm, sadly, due to my lack of interaction, there are no developments, so I shall change it to changes. So this relationship is just getting boring, except I was half expecting this to happen. On both sides. There's only so long two people can go on for at this rate.

Title
God, I'm so bored, nobody blogs anymore. SHAME ON YOU, ELAINE. Honestly, I've been playing Tiny Tower all day, and I swear the stupid timing for restocking is rigged. One minute is like, three minutes in that stupid universe.
Okay that's all I have to say. I wish I was deaf sometimes.
9:20 PM
BAH I'm so excited about all the books coming out this year LSADKJLAKHKAJHD!
Okay so there's the last book in the Hush Hush series, which comes out in sometime in spring, and it's STILL untitled. I think it's spring, since they say 'fall' so autumn in America means Spring in whatever lonely hemisphere we live in.
Then City of Lost Souls in May, and no release date yet for Clockwork Princess.
Mark of Athena comes out spring as well.
The Golden Lily (Bloodlines) comes out June 19.
I swear there were more books that have escaped my memory. But yeah, okay that's it. I should probably read Kane Chronicles, and I've been attempting to research Norse mythology to prepare myself for Rick Riordan's new series.
Might be seeing Hugo on Friday with Anika! And then I can also get my stationery/supplies done.
Day 4 - Story behind something you recently discovered
I discovered that I don't really appreciate friends like I should, and vice versa with other people, and that it's time for me to not rely on them, or anyone else for that matter, anymore, because the only person I can ever totally rely on is myself. I guess half of the realization was triggered by my own feelings of inadequacy, and then there's just the preference of being alone to being with people.
5:14 PM
I am officially in love with this boy.

bop
I got a very rude awakening today when my dog jumped on my bed and spat on my face. My eye, to be precise, and now I have this ointment thing on it, in case I get infected or something, my eye feels all gluey.
I'm so torn about my organisation for this year lakjalskhjs, I've been reading the grade discussion on fb and I still can't decide, but I need to get everything tomorrow. And I hope the new battery for the laptop means it won't be so screwy anymore.
I love Fred Astaire.
OH MY GOD, last night, I was watching Ellen reruns on YouTube and basically lmao-ing so I called Christine, because I knew she'd laugh along with me, and oh my god, fucking died, especially watching the reruns of her scaring her guests and staff, SHE'S SO HILARIOUS, I'LL GO FUCKING LESBIAN FOR HER. So I ended up sleeping at 2am.
Can't do the second challenge because it's for tumblr, so I'll skip to the third. I don't know why they're called challenges either.
Day 3 - Last movie you saw and your thoughts on it
Okay so if it's in the cinema, then it's Harry Potter LOL. It was boring, because there was literally no dialogue and just effects and everything, but at the same time, I feel obliged to be impressed because it was the last film overall. But yeah, my expectations were higher.
In general, Gone With the Wind, and I love the film and the book, and it's one of the best adaptions of a book I've seen. Which would explain why it's 4 hours long, as the book is 1000 pages.
Now Casablanca is on, toodles :)

9:10 PM
say what
Bleh, such an exhausting day. Oh and I have to move houses as soon as I return from China (Y) Fuck my fucking life and that fucking landlord. I HATE CHANGE, HOW DO I HANDLE MOVING HOMES? To make it worse, we're cancelling Foxtel. It's so tragic, I need to devote a whole day to bond with it.
Anyway, yesterday, I watched Gone With the Wind. Again. I swear it's always on, ready for me to waste four hours of my life.
AND OH MY GOD, THE THUNDERSTORM GAVE US A BLACKOUT FOR TWO MOFO HOURS. Seriously, it happened as soon as Gone With the Wind started, so I only really wasted two hours watching it. And I love getting candles out :)
Today, we went to the city to send my grandparents off, which was sort of pointless since we leave in a week, but holy crap, the line for Qantas took us like, two hours, it was so ridiculous and everyone in the line was either really rude or had irritating children.
Then my mum, sister and I walked around and we got more things from Tiffany's. It's really funny, nobody's downstairs where it's all the gold and diamonds and the top level which is full of silver and novelty items is packed. Okay it's not that funny. Amusing. I think our service guy was gay, and I felt so bad for the security guy, because we were so bored in there, we were just standing awkwardly and we smiled awkwardly at each other.
Now we've got to start packing our house bit by bit so I went around taking pictures of each room at every possible angle, so I won't forget it. I mean, it's been home for 10 years, this is a very, very, incredibly huge change for me.
I want to relive the Hornsby formal. Everybody was really pretty.
I should find a challenge, my day is too boring. I'm seriously considering the poem one, but I'd take an hour to finish each poem each day. Or I have a HSM one, which might be kind of boring, but fun for me. 0: There's an Infernal Devices one! And TVD and PLL and Percy Jackson. Alright, I found one (Y)
BLEH I want to see Love Never Dies, except I'd rather see Phantom of the Opera in theatre first.
Time to do the challenge!

Love me tender
It's a really really nice day, until the wind went a little bit spastic. BLEH I wish I slept over with Audrey and Jina and STUPID ANIKA SHOULD HAVE COME and made crazy videos to troll everyone with LOLOL.
Anyway, I was watching Jailhouse Rock, and Elvis was just so. Fucking. Sexy. HE IS SO SUAVE AND HANDSOME AND BOYISH AND I WAS GASPING THROUGH THE ENTIRE MOVIE. I wish we could dance to his music instead of what we have now.
Bleh, I bought 7 books this week and I haven't bother reading since the year started, which is very inconvenient. I'm so lazy in summer, and I don't even have heat as a good excuse.
Euro Guy is looking very good.
I want to restart One Tree Hill, and maybe start OC. GUH NO I MUST STUDY. I don't know what to do with school lkjsldkjalkhsakjadhjk.

ON CRACK
HI. TODAY WAS SO MUCH FUN HAHAHAHA.
So Crack was supposed to go to Audrey's but Tanya's overseas and Anika couldn't and Christine was coming super late so it was initially just me, Jina and Sylvia going crazy over Mingki. I was frantically trying to find TVD links that worked while the others played Mario Party. Then we had pizza and pasta for lunch. I can't understand how the dog wasn't begging us for food, like mine usually does. I mean, it was sleeping next to us while we were eating!
Went back upstairs and started our awful luvos, which are displayed on fb for all to mock. Then Christine finally came and then she joined and I swear, I was going to die from laughter. Then we stalked people on fb and laughed and laughed and I haven't had so much fun in so long. It didn't feel right without Anika and Tanya though :(
Ate so much for dinner which was sooo nice, oh my god, chicken katsu lskjlkjslkjsdlakjdlakjdad. LOL and we were watching The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl which was really gay, but Taylor Lautner was so adorable.
I finally found a TVD link that worked and watched by myself and OH MY GOD I CAN'T EVEN LIKE WHAT OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.
Then we uploaded the photos and spent ages tagging until I had to leave, so they all took me to the bus stop :)
Anyway, now I'm watching New York Minute which I seriously love, despite how shit it is.

Stop banging!
Words cannot describe my exhaustion. This is really a sign of how unfit I am.
So today, I hit the city with Carla, Brandon and Eric, and I swear we saw a few familiar faces on the train. Brandon, that idiot, overslept as usual. I think we went Market City first because Eric was determined to buy something, but we found nothing so we went to Galaxy World. Biggest mistake. Brandon attempted to get a 40 minute free okay card from the token games and I swear, we were there for almost an hour, watching him chuck tokens down a shute and watching the card progress agonizingly slowly towards the edge. I think he gave up after spending $40. LOL I actually found two forgotten tokens in other trays which was cool. Brandon didn't have my luck though, so Eric took over and he got the bracelet LOLOLOL which was so hideous, idek HAHA. But yeah, Eric gave up too. It was so stressful!
We argued about what to eat for lunch because I wanted Pepper Lunch and Carla wanted noodles so she got them herself while the guys got Pepper Lunch with me. Bad bad bad idea. Took a shuttle to Circular Quay and went to Pancakes. Eric and Brandon shared a serve. Mr and Carla underestimated how big and filling getting one each was, so after my dessert, which was more like a meal, I was pretty close to vomiting.
Shuttled back to Town Hall and I went and bought three books at Kinokuniya which I probably won't even have time to read. Walked around World Square. There is really nothing to buy, despite all the sales. My legs were just about ready to fall off. Then we decided to returnto Market City where we circled all the floors and stores again and then me and Carla finally left. Bleh, panicked about the upcoming school year and I'm so scared, yet very excited lasdfghjk.
Anyway, AUDREY'S TOMORROW, without Tanya though :( I miss Tanya, I haven't seen her in ages.
Okay I think the pancakes have been burned off, so I shall eat some more now (Y)

feeling
Today was sooo hot. It still is, I think it's 30 degrees in my kitchen and I'm suffering, but in a good way because I love this heat. I'm just very unaccustomed to it.
Bleh, I've been waking up at 6 for the past couple of days and I can't even get back to sleep which is terrible. We attempted shopping today to find things for China and all I got was a pair of cheap boots I can throw away once it's ruined. Apparently, the highest temperature in Beijing currently is 1 degree. FUCKING LASKJLSKDJFLKSJLKJA sigh.
OH I was in Perfume Connection and The Boys started playing and my jaw just dropped. It was the English version though, but still.
Anyway, tomorrow going city and Friday at Audrey's and I'm excited to see people besides my family. I mean, the only other person I've seen all holidays is Carla.
OH I finished compiling my book and movie list, and to add it all up, I have about 40 movies to watch, and 60 books to read by the end of this year. If I actually succeed ... jokes. Fucking Vanity Fair is almost 700 pages and I can barely manage 100 right now. And I've totally forgotten about the English texts, but they'll only take a week.
Yes, the southerly change is coming. That means it's finally cool enough for my appetite to return for dinner :)

Say hello to my little friend
Fucking George P came.
So now my family has begun packing for China, and I'm getting really frustrated because I have NOTHING to pack. I mean, it's fucking below zero degrees, I'd have to wear my entire wardrobe. And I'm still freaking out about school and camp and work organisation and oh my god, kill me now.
Anyway, that little angel boy of mine is called Asa Butterfield :) The last name sounds so delicious LOL. He's soooooooo beautiful.
Nobody cares.
What happened to my love of blogging? I don't know what I filled my posts with anymore.
I just read this 'detailed' overview of 2012 for Aquarius on my usual horoscope site, and things seem terribly optimistic. As they do for everyone else TT
I love this weather, I love waking up to a blue sky each morning. Alright, I need to go officially document my resolutions and then make a list of the little things that make me feel better because I currently really need that.
Where did you go?

Oh and y'all disgust me, but it's funny watching young people wreck themselves.
4:53 PM
Not ready
Damn, I forgot to post on the first day of the year. That's okay because nothing happened. I should be like Michelle. Hearing about social lives that aren't mine make me depressed. Like I'm satisfied with my quiet life until I hear that nobody else is like that.
Yesterday, I was drowning in the handsomeness that is Josh Duhamel, thank you to the Josh Duhamel marathon in television lasdfghjk SO MUCH MASCULINE CHARM LOLOLOL (inside joke).
As for New Year's Eve, fireworks were sucky as usual and I downed half the bottle of champagne because it was a reeaally crappy NYE. I think I was watching Pirates of the Carribean earlier that night and it reignited my love for the franchise, and I'm still really annoyed they bothered to continue making the movies for the purpose of Jack Sparrow.
Sigh, still haven't made my resolutions. There's the cliche ones with study and health as usual. I think my family will enforce punishment for not following our resolutions :L
OH I really want to watch Hugo, because that boy is just so beautiful with his blue eyes and black hair and the angelic beauty surrounding him lasdfghjk it's like heaven to my eyes 8) And I think he has some really adorable accent, and he looks 10 but he's apparently my age.
Anyway, I'm excited for Friday for my dog to meet Audrey's :D
And that is my exciting life (Y)
4:23 PM
