Update - 17th Nov 09

I'll start this post off by saying I'm sorry for not writing in a good few days.
I only noticed I'd been neglecting my blog this morning while I was standing in the shower contemplating life's purpose and other various incredible and amazing things.

I think the reasons that I haven't been typing as many posts are;
1 - I've been far too busy doing nothing
2 - All/most of my recent thoughts have been on topics I prefer not to post about
3 - Time going way too fast for my liking these days.

That and Im just slacking off. Which is fun in its self.
I would update you on the goings-on of the past few days but I really cant be bothered and they aren't particularly interesting anyway. I would be happy to inform you that I've spent every second of my time since saturday studying for my english exam (possibly even a little for my media studies and geography). But if I told you that I would be lying.
I have done a small small SMALL amount of studying for english. I mean, I've found my quotes for several of my essays.. I am yet to memorise most of them. Because one of my essays is on "Hamlet" and I don't really understand much about Shakespeare. Its a little bit too extreme for me to make sense of, and any essays I even TRY to write about it end up as complete nonsense.
Err. I haven't been studying because I've been procrastinating, which is a pretty fair excuse if you ask me. Plus, thinking about exams makes me freak out - more.

Okay, I suppose I should have a little info on what its like to be 17 so far. Well, I haven't done anything particularly exciting but shopping and going to see a movie. My mum took me shopping on my birthday, I got many bright and exciting clothes - which I wore to the movies the next day with author of muffin-talk and our friend (we saw "up" btw, hilariously funny movie. But very sad in some parts).
Anyway, I got these fluro tie dye tights while I was shopping. I then proceeded to wear them to the mall, and I got many rude stares from complete strangers. These two girls (who obviously thought of themselves as the bees knees) burst out laughing - this in turn made me laugh because it showed how much they were tied into the "trends" of today. I almost felt sorry for them. I mean, how could anyone live their whole life always being and doing what other people expect?
Another group of girls asked me where I got my tights from.. I couldn't completely tell if they were being serious or not. I think they might have been making fun of me cause they were all wearing pretty un-original clothes. Like. Black.
Black in totally the new pink, blah blah blah.
W/e.

Uhh. Yeah last night I got my sister some movies out for her and her friends to watch (shes broke, so loverly little me got them for her), one of them was an R16 and I was like "oh! I can get this one!" then I realised that I could anyway because I was 16 last year also.

*sigh* Im sitting here home alone right now. Fun, fun. Ignoring my studying Im supposed to be doing. I have all the doors and windows open and the wind is blowing stuff around so Im scaring myself because I keep hearing things move. Oh well. Its kinda ridiculous.

Oh, all the bolded words are ones that annoy be because apparently they are spelt incorrect. Totally unfair. This computer needs to understand that its in New Zealand now and it will have to learn to deal with it.

Birthdays.. blegh

This is kind've a life update. When I'm at my mums house the internet isn't really capable of co-operating to the level dads does. Mums internet is a few sandwiches short of a picnic basket...
So writing and updating my bloggerino is a tad difficult. But thankfully my sister, Sta, has a (bright pink) laptop which tends to assist the internet a little.. you know... give it a little push in the right direction.
Anyway, so school finished yesterday. Yippee.
It was a wonderful feeling to sleep in this morning - even though when I woke up at quarter to eleven I was lying in a really weird angle and when I moved everything hurt... Plus I'd been dribbling on my pillow... which was fun to wipe my face over when I sat up. Of course, it had gone cold by that time so it was even more gross.
Today I spent a good 5 hours shopping. I got shoes, jewelry, t-shirts, dresses and sunglasses. All in all it was a successful shopping experience. I bought some plain shoes. Which is weird. They're just.... just black shoes... No shapes on them... no colour..... no ribbons or buttons of any sort at all really.... I quite like them. Im not sure if this is a sign that Im loosing a valuable part to my 'different' personality, or maybe its just me wanting some form of normalcy in my life.
If its the normalcy thing then thats kinda sad lol. Looking for it in shoes and all.
Then again, the shirt i bought today says "OMG WTF" on it, and my necklace says "OMG", So Im pretty sure I haven't lost much of my inner retard.

Uhh yeah, birthdays still coming up. Can't say entirely truthfully that I'm looking forwards to it.. I mean, yeah. Presents, cake, balloons etc... but really is it even a good thing to get another year older? So what if I'll be 17 instead of 16. There's no REAL difference, Im still going to be walking on two legs. Nothing incredibly new.
I know that with greater age comes greater understanding of the world and all thats within it - But is THAT supposed to make me want to get older? I don't really see the up side in that. Cause we all know that the worlds a pretty messed up place!
Like, whaling for example. Who thought of that?
"oh hey look a massive thing coming out of the water.. that gives me an idea..."
"wanna shoot at it?"
"yeah sure. I was thinking we could harness its energy and build an underwater community on its back, but shooting it will be just s satisfying"

Im getting off track.
The basic point is that my week has been okayish so far. Shopping = good. Birthday = okay. Whaling = bad.
You should be expecting either a very happy post or a very angry post very soon... this all depends on wether it rains on friday or not. Seeing as I'm taking all my friends to the beach for my birthday.
Wish me luck - Or at least threaten the weather with violence and blackmail.

P.s. Watched Juno just before - for like the 20th time. Made me think about something I don't wanna. How annoying.
