Okay, so I'm sitting here in my black cross-strap dress with the back cut out of it down to the waist, and I'm sweating like a pig, and I'm LOVING IT. OMG. With all the bushfire warnings in New South Wales, it's a given that this summer will be a scorcher. Rivertiems for all, and a lovely hot Christmas-day barbecue sounds like a reality! May I direct you to the lyrics for
Aussie Jingle Bells?
The floods have packed up and left us finally, scooting on down to cause havoc in Victoria, who has mercifully sent us its heatwave in return. Not to mention that I finish school on Wednesday (it is currently Saturday), which means a two-month break of excellence, yet also boredom, as I am too lazy to find a job. So it's time to wander around in your bikinis, or your shortie shorts and tanktops, grab an icecream and go have a splash around at the river as the 30+C days arrive. Also, my family is going to pack up and go on a trip to Townsville in Queensland (a two-and-a-bit day drive), starting Boxing Day, seeing the various attractions, marveling at the beauty of Magnetic Island, and going snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef. I'll try and convince the 'rents to let me bring the lappy, as we're planning to spend a week there, adding to the fact that the trip up and back will also total another week. That way, you'll hopefully get some photography on the fly.
Yes, again, my mood is still
suffering. There are two reasons for this. One, I no longer have a formal date and my friendship group is in complete disarray with minor bitching and deathtstares for some unknown reason. Two, I saw
New Moon today.
Yes, you heard right.
Okay, so while I hate its guts, I still somewhat enjoy the Twilight franchise. So, of course, I went and saw NM. Two and a half hours of DRAGGING STORYLINE and OMG ANGST and EDDIE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DON'T LEAVE and JACOB SMASH! and SPARKLY CHEST COMPLETE WITH TOTALLY UNMANLY PEACHFUZZ CHEST HAIR and I was ready to take a .44 to my head. Chris Weitz (did I spell it right? Frankly, I don't give a crap) has replaced the other shoddy-ass director to become the new shoddy-ass director of the Twilight "Saga" (it is not saga, goddamnit. Google what a saga really is, kthxbai) and he made it drag so badly. Not to mention Kristen Stewart's all-round bad acting (the many blank faces of KStew!), the totally unrealistic "I've known you for about six months! You're my TWU WUV!", Robert Pattinson's ugliness and the SPARKLES WITH TINKLY SOUND EFFECTS. Bella's dad was saying something to her at the end of the movie, and I said '...and you're grounded for the rest of your life'; NOT FIVE SECONDS LATER BELLA'S DAD SAID THAT TOO. I'd like to think that I'm psychic, but it's just the Twilight series' predictability. Robert Pattinson's chest hair: OMG IT'S ALL OR NOTHING. NOT HALF-ARSED PEACHFUZZ. Personally, I like a bit of chest hair, but this was just stupid. I literally covered my eyes when Pattinson took off his shirt. Pale and creepy-looking is not my thing. And Taylor Lautner, IMO, did not get enough screen-time, even if he got shitloads. That kid is going places.
On the plus side, we got to see Taylor Lautner (Jacob) shirtless for most of the movie, even if he did have some fugly tribe tattoo on his upper arm; the movie made references to Bella making out with an old dude (Spedward); Carlisle looks GORGEOUS in eighteenth-century garb (I now love Peter Facinelli more than I already did); the dude that plays Alec is cute; there was hardly any Edward; Jacob has a freakin' EIGHT PACK; and I was with "the dark side" (since we were called that by the rest of our warring group) girls, so we bitched about it and laughed like loons whenever the "vampires" sparkled. This is explained by the copious amounts of:

Dark Chocolate Tim-Tams

Freckles

Triple-Choc Cottage Cookies

Skittles

Doritos
consumed throughout the movie.
Will I see Eclipse? Yes. Because I am masochistic like that.
Good times, good times. Sorry for wasting so much of your life. And sorry Steph, for stealing your most recent Journalskin. <3

EDIT;; Does anybody else play Fallout 3? I am absolutely addicted. New Fandom! I'm totally fangirling over Vance (leader of 'vampire' group 'The Family'; AMAZING voice!), and also have this liking for Ian West. If you play, do you know any clubshere on dA for FO3 fans? Thankies. x

Oh yes, he did say those very words. XD
