what do you think when you hear/see this phrase?

i want a dog like that one!

it's so effing adorable~

blah, so freaking tired nowadays.

bio homework drowns everything else.

and stress... so much stress i swear.

i'm gonna die next year. so badly...

year 12... how i dread thee.

and guess what...?

i'm teaching trist how to speak mando.

LOL. this is gonna be fun... ;DD

i'm am so screwed for ext english. hahaha...

i'm only half way through my book. though i do know what happens, it's still kinda annoying.

i have almost no motivation to finish it. hmm... it's a good book, but eh...

i was thinking back to something that mr short mentioned before.

about the original fairytales?

well, guess what i found out?

he's right. so many of the old fairytales are quite...well...

take 'The Little Mermaid' for example.

remember how the mermaid went to the sea witch to ask her to turn her tail into legs?

the witch did that...but she split her tail in half instead and molded them into the shape of legs.

the legs started bleeding non stop, and she got washed up onto the beach.

(but not before the sea witch CUT OUT HER TONGUE as payment... DD:)

the prince found her, and she can't speak, so he takes her to his castle.

as entertainment, he asked her to dance for him.

so the mermaid danced for him, all the while in extreme pain that feels like daggers in her legs.

and because the prince loved her dancing, she keeps doing in...in excruciating pain.

i mean, wtf???

and then the prince fell in love with another princess and they're about to get married and etc.

the mermaid was heart broken, and she'll turn into sea foam if he marries someone else.

and then to turn back into a mermaid, she had to kill the prince right?

she couldn't do it, because she loved him too much, so she turned into sea foam...

but wait, no! she turns into a air spirit...

and the only way she can win an immortal soul is by visiting children.

300 years it takes for her to become an immortal soul.

every time she sees at a good child, she smiles and deducts one year...

but every time she sees a naughty child, she must cry.

and every tear adds on another year.

HOW THE FREAK IS THAT FAIR?? O_o

and i'm over ranting about that now.

original fairytales are really quite gross... =|

oh thank god this week's over.

i'm so dead beat tired, you would not believe.

so, all i'm looking forward to tomorrow is chilling.

...and sleeping in. yay! :DD

so...

i'm bored now.

watching Les Misérables: Shoujo Cosette.

haha, it's so good!

anime of les mis, rather faithful to the book actually.

and the marius is adorable!! :DD

and so's cosette.

eponine is actually quite pretty.

and she has massive green eyes. 8D

and can you believe it?

it's been a year...

i was hyperventilating and melting into a puddle.

22/7/2009... :D

remember me texting you, trace?

oh gods, i was so terrified that day. xDD

ahahahahahah.

doesn't feel like a year though.

seems so much shorter.

second day of school and already i have a load of homework.

i'm telling you, this is not fun. DD:

but oh well. at least i'm feeling smart now.

and i feel sad too.

i blame my hormones playing up again.

stupid things they are...

looking for alaska is a brilliant book.

must read now everyone. :D

HELP ME PLZ.

give me a name!!!

...for the main boy character in my story.

annnnddd the girl as well.

(even though she's dead)

think more along the lines of...

a sort of...more...well.

'feminine' name for the boy.

not like CHUCK or BOB or yeah...

but like...erm...

Allen, or something.

but not Allen, if you know what i mean??

but normal-ish.

because there's plenty of nice male names...

but no one ever calls their kid those normally.

like... Emrys.

i love that name, but it's unusual. :D

sooo.

help me?
*puppy look*

Apparently...?

Haha, that's kinda odd, but cool in an nerdy awesome way.

Got Charles Dickens on one of my other pieces. O_O

haha, but that's so cool. :DD

it's kinda sad that i'm so excited at this LOL.

inner nerdiness.

okay, i got tagged...twice. ;D

so without further ado:

---

1. i'm not even going to bother skirting around this. Tristan. Tristan Tristan Tristan.

2. all of my friends. you guys are amazing, every single one of you.

3. jellyfishes... i like to think they're the angels of the sea.

4. lying on a grassy hill just staring at the clouds floating by.

5. going somewhere were you can look up at the night sky, and actually really SEE the stars.

6. talking on the phone right into the early hours of the morning, while snug in bed.

7. seeing people in love and knowing that there's always that something beautiful out there.

8. small random things. like waving to a stranger and having them wave back.

9. watching candles burn in the middle of a pitch black room.

10. when people can see how sad i am, and try and cheer me up.

---

1. feeling insecure, depressed, ugly and angry, and then taking it out on people i love.

2. being stressed, because it triggers the above emotions.

3. being alone. really alone.

4. having people take away things i love.

5. being ignored.

6. seeing others feeling down or sad and not being able to do anything about it.

7. when people don't say goodbye when they leave. they just... leave.

8. hypocrites.

9. having no direction in life at all.

10. pressure and people pushing for me to things i don't want to.

i tag...

TRACE. do these. this is your other two tags. ;D

RAIN. because i said so. just do eet. :DD

ALICE. because you need to BLOG MOAR.

there’s always something beautiful about seeing two people who are in love. it’s like watching a sunset, or a sunrise. or even just something small, like a smile appearing on a sad face. it’s like they’re in a bubble, where nothing sad can penetrate it. nothing bad or hurtful can pop it. it’s just them, and how beautiful they are. and i love it.

and i have a headache.

i can't wait until saturday! sleepover at bree's house in ...

GOSFORD LOL. yah, far away, ain't it? it'll be so fun!!

stupid idiot. he calls, i go. ahhh, this is so sad.

don't fall in love, peeps. it's so lame. well... not lame.

just...sort of... i dunno. time consuming.

because doing anything else seems like a waste of time.

because you'll want to use that time by spending it with them.

anyway. we went to rhodes today.

and watched... dundundun.

hahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahha.

it wasn't bad. some parts were really funny.

but bella is such a slut omfg. like OMFG. SLUUUUTTTT.

apparently it was his mums. pssht yeah right.

'cause they TOTALLY had rings that size in the 18th century.

*sigh*

stupid HSC is looming closer and closer.

i'm kinda really scared... honestly for once.

i keep thinking i'll fail and i won't get into the course i want.

and then rents will rage at me and then my life would be ruined.

and you know, etc etc, blah blah, usual crap.

i just spent the past hour in tears. why? because i was reading GMH.

stupid me didn't even realise i was crying until i looked down and realised that i was practically drenching my art assignment sheet. now some words are unreadable. damn.

---

i'm sick. woohoo. not. eurgh.

this is so gross. excessive build up of phlegm...

and then a runny nose, and a hackling cough...

makes me sound like i'm choking on bits of my lungs.

anyway. first two days of hols were spent in bed.

and theres so much crap to do.

Dearest Riley,

Hey sweetheart. How’ve you been lately? I haven’t seen you much online, and you're not answering my emails. I’m getting worried dear. I hope you know that whatever happens, I’ll always be there for you, as much as I can. (Since living half a world away does seem to hinder it a little.)

I know you're going through the worst times right now. Just to let you know, I'll always love you. Whenever you need to talk and rant or anything, I'm there to listen. And who knows, maybe one day I might just skip over to Canada... or you can come and visit me in my igloo in Antarctica. ;D

(Make sure to bring Brendan too.)

Just remember, I'm not a goldfish.

Love, your little Lark.
