Dear you 1

I love you, i really do. You're amazing and beautiful. You're like my bestest friend because you accept me for who i am. You see the world in my eyes. We obviously have differences in personalities, but aside from that we are the same people. We try to avoid what makes unhappy because we know we dont need it or deserve it. You understand why i do things even though overs dont. You listen and care for what i have to say. I truly care about your wellbeing and i dont worry about you at all, because i know everything you do, you do it for you. I get that. And you get that too. We've never had a fallout and i dont think we ever will. We get each other too much i guess?? idk. 

i thought this was comedy gold when i was 12

In this summary, you must address ONE of the following course readings: 

EITHER:

Nick Kaye, ‘Chapter 1. From Postmodern Style to Performance’, in Postmodernism and Performance (Houndmills: Macmillan, 1994), pp. 5-23, 147-9

Research Exercise – due week 3 March 20

Using the AUSTLIT database find two articles published in any of the major scholarly literary journals (eg Australian Literary Studies, Southerly, JASAL, Westerly, Overland) between 2000 and 2010 and examine how they address the question of Australian landscape, suburbia or urban life (ie you should focus on one of these topics). Write a brief summary of each article highlighting its main argument (approx. 300-400 words for each article) then write a brief account of how the two essays contribute to an understanding of this topic more broadly within Australian literary studies. Your assignment should not be longer than 1500 words in total, including referencing.

Yeah, Isn't weird that these things that you dont care about, that something you just brush over is so significant to me? wow hahaha

side note, i was thinking as to why i had a mac in year 11 and i realised the only reason why i wanted one was because of charlieissocoollike hahahah 

I'm also selecting my courses for next sem and they are 

• American Literature: Past and Present - ARTS2035

• Theories of Acting and Performing - ARTS2125

• Creative Writing - ARTS2032

• Professional Engagement - EDST2002

It's my life, I'mma do who I want to

Do what I want to, and I don't want you

-iggy azalea - FUCK LOVE

Are you eating though? (pretend its sunday)

Hi, haven't blogged in quite ze while

I'm feeling a bit low I don't know why, ok I might know why but I'm trying not to think about it

Yesterday was a nice day, didn't start off great and didn't end great, but the part where I got to see Danny and Eeh was so nice, I really really missed them. 

I've been around Jess, Collin and Drew for so long that I needed a change of pace (those assholes like ugh ;) )

I woke up late again, it was 12 but I tried to get out of bed, but I really didn't do anything, I really wanted to clean my room and I still haven't

It was nice waking up early today and not feel so sleepy, even though I kept going back to bed which is really bad, it's the weather man, if it wasn't cold and if I wasn't so sad I would get out of bed easier

I really want to put the song " grown woman " as my alarm so I can wake up dancing but I'm afraid I'll be so sick of the song that whenever it plays I'll get annoyed

That song brings up my mood though it makes me so cheery

"You wanna know how I got it like that, cause I got a cute face and a booty so fat"

Then the song gets all dancey it's so cool

I'm at merrylands now, I'm on my way to work

I'm kind of excited cause I want to go to work, I always don't want to go cause I want to sleep and do stuff but when I do go, seeing my co-workers and talking to them is so nice, and the day goes by quite quickly and plus I get paid so by the end of the day as I walk out that building and onto the trains I feel so serene 

Talking about serenity, I feel upset that I didn't get to say happy birthday to tian LOL

the whole day I spent trying to tie our inside jokes all together and then create a lovely happy birthday message but no I kept thinking and thinking by the time I was on her wall it was 1am and I feel like such a dog

She was wildly significant to my high school life, she was the light of my day hahaha no joke

I never ok I'm at granvile

Anyways I never give time to my friends other than kik

Eg I was meant to go ikea with Jens and see Sues new house over the holidays but no, I felt a bit ill (then again I got some serious back pain) and even Caitlyn invited me out but I kept rejecting, I'm just never up to it anymore

I need a car hahaha, ok I need my ps 

I'm all talk and I know it

It's my body, it slows down my mind

I wish I could fix myself and be the person I want to be, I can do it but I'm in the way

My heavy body and heavy mind really set me back a couple of steps to a better person

You know what makes me feel great? Art, painting. 

I feel like that's the only thing I'm good at, naturally good at. 

If I didn't have retarded Ms Simpson as a teacher I might be in cofa now, wearing a maxi skirt and a red lipstick talking about post modernity and it's effect on the avant-grade, a movement so significant it is the main influence on my art

Ok at parra ttyl  

Now I am at work 

Miss pap just came in wtf lol

I ignored her idk why but yeah

I'm already in a better mood, I should love work not hate it, sigh i hope I get things done when I get home

I'll write again in my break

Ok so I didn't write in my break instead I sat with my coworker just talking cause I'm so lonely at b2

Jess told me she is going to pick me up after work, that'll be nice! So I don't have to be alone and think and stuff

Ok I noticed every time i blog I'm a mope

Let's talk about something else

Like how exciting things are going to get like 

Arctic monkeys on Tuesday!!! How exciting!!!!!

I can't wait to see Alex turner in the flesh, too bad our seats aren't that good ;( but still it's better than not going!!

After arctic I'm going to the new sound wave thing whatever it is, apparently it edm and apparently I'm going to get so fucking drunk!!!!!!!!!

Before that I might meet Britney at Marys burgers, it was so good and fatty and yum!! I went their on Caitlyn's birthday

So good, they played Metallica all night, I love Metallica now hahahah I'm such a poser

Let's see

I have Chet faker and splendour coming up which is going to be awesome!!

Bobby makes me want to buy new clothes for it bleh money money money!! 

Maybe I should sell my shit

Maybe I should get another job

Maybe I should clean up my room

I need a vacuum cleaner

I currently have to read this book for my modernity class called the heat of day which is really good so far

It's like how I would write

Looking back at art, I love painting

I'm getting into acrylics so I'm really excited to understand it

Maybe I should move on to pastels for the cardboard I use for the paint

I need canvases 

I should set my priorities straight

I think that's the first step to do, know what I want and go in that direction

But I want so many things

Too many things

 I think I should have some alone time

For reals, I need time to get back to my family and study

I know I keep saying it

Man I'm even a let down to myself

I'm in such a slump. 

I hope Jess and Collin this afternoon fix me, help me

Hahah

I feel a but better now, I guess I needed company
