Last weekend my friend Laura and I decided to take a shortcut through town back to school. We sat down in a sheltered grandstand in a rugby park and I thought it would be a place where someone would hide drugs, so we looked around and found a small circular container. We thought it would be a geocash but knowing the district we were in it probably wasnt. We were too scared to touch it, but after a few minutes with no luck from trying to open it with my clothes over my hand I opened it and there were papers inside and sure enough the familiar fume of weed was in the air. We closed it and put it back in its place, disappointed that it was just drugs. We found a sealed alcohol shot on the side of the road so I took it and its in my dorm room now but I'm too scared to drink it in case its been laced with roofies or something. Also, there was a really talented guy busking so we gave him chocolate and I wanted to stay to listen to him but we had to leave.
My friend Hannah had her 16th on Friday and Im really gutted because I didnt get her anything but I have a few ideas of homemade stuff Im gonna make for her these holidays. We had a dinner party in a cute restaurant in Palmerston North with 10 of us. Excuse the demon looks in this photo.
We were told we were being too loud, were used to the dining room at school were the noise level is just bearable. We use trays at our school so I just cant go to restaurants anymore without making a hell of a lotta mess. We said the school prayer before we ate as a joke and to remember the two friends who couldnt make it there.
This photo just cracked me up, it looks so cute but so psychotic.

Im at school and the weather is rainy then sunny and I have art to do so bye!
I have been staring at this blank page for 10 minutes. No inspiration. Nothing. I don't know what to write about, what would be sensible or cool to say. I was just in a fight with my friend and I hate that. My friends and I are always fighting and I don't know what to do. I love my friends but sometimes I just need to give them space. I either care too much about people or I'm a heartless bitch and I have trouble finding my way between the two. I hate that were so hypocritical that one day we say we don't like someone and the next were best friends. Im glad that they like me for who I am, but when they don't, like today, I only have myself. And that feels both liberating and frightening at the same time. I love other people so much that sometimes I forget about myself. I forget what I am and what I stand for. Paramore have recently made a music video for Anklebiters although it is not a single, just a video for fans. I use to think that the song was negative. A bout a narsisictic person trying to get the best of you, when actually its about celebrating your differences and not letting the anklebiters get a hold of you. Im sorry I cannot post videos at the moment (somethings stuffed up with my blog) but the video can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=4CWhPozi7Kg&safe=active and also Hayley Williams wrote what her view is on being different and about Anklebiters here: http://paramore-music.com/index.php/new-message-from-hayley-williams-11/
Have a wonderful day and dont let anyone bring you down!
My Spanish class went to a Spanish Restaurant for our speaking internal and to farewell our lovely Spanish teacher, shes getting married in about a month and her and her husband are going to China. We gave her a photo frame and a silver charm for her charm bracelet.
The food was delicioso! Especially the dessert, I got chocolate cake that came with chocolate chilli sauce which was amazing because I don't mind spicy food. This weekend Laura and I watched Springbreakers and The Purge. We were so looking forward to Springbreakers that unfortunately it kinda let us down, I loved James Franco and the other cast but I couldnt really get into it, the costumes/clothing used was amazing though!
The Purge was as good as I thought it would be, with some twists throughout. Loved the props used and the killing scenes were awesome! Yeah I'm weird like that. The movie is set in the near future America were all crime is legal for one night, crime is at an all time low because people are able to let out their anger once a year. The family that the film captures is safe behind their security system. But others are less fortunate, roaming the streets looking for help. The young boy in the family lets a helpless man inside their home which jeopardises the safety of everyone. Am I the only one that really wants this mask? Probably.
This sounds weird but I've never really thought about my body. Its just always been there. I've never 'listened' to it or really appreciated it. Its a part of me that everyone sees but I've never really sat back and thought about how much our bodies do for us. Maybe I'm thinking this way because I have a cold and been getting really bad sleep or because my friends have been downer about their bodies or maybe even because of the video that we watched in Chapel:
I've been looking into Feminism and I believe that it has given me a more positive outlook on my body regarding the fact the my body is MINE. I can do what I want with it, shave or not, wear what I feel comfortable in, wear make up or go natural. I'm going to accentuate my flaws, because hey you know what, they're MINE.
I suppose it is easy going to a girls boarding school, we don't really wear make up to school, heck we go to school without brushing our hair most the time! That does not mean there are no put downs or sniggers when back are turned though. When I go up for seconds or thirds on lunch, I like to think that no-one gives a shit because I don't give a shit, but really they don't give a shit because I'm skinny. When a large girl goes up for seconds she is judged, I don't want it to be this way. Why are certain factors of body acceptable but others aren't? I suppose I am quite 'lucky' because I feel quite comfortable in my skin. Why is that though? Because I'm skinny? Because I have thick hair? Because I'm not the only person in the world with more pimples on their face than the number of bombs in a game of Minesweeper? (First thing that came to mind sorry)
No that is not a mane, thats my hair.
Im thinking why am I comfortable in my skin? And I have no answer. I like my body but there are days where I hate it, there always will be. I guess it's because I don't give a shit about what people think about me most the time. Ok that sounds really badass, Im actually really emotional. But I suppose its because it's not their problem. They can say what they want but it doesnt affect me because I'm not going to change for them. Being me is all that should be expected of me.
My friend Laura just said that my body wants to be poor because Ill have to buy all this pimple treament!
