Finished Busker's festival now. (Got the cheque yesterday! YUS!) It was tiring but also quite enjoyable. So I am sad and happy it's over. We even went to the afterparty (Ella and I went home at about12 though since we were sleepy and our carriage was about to turn into a pumpkin) I didn't get IDed and the bartender filled about half the glass with vodka by accident. Value for money!
Today I went to the Host's meeting for the CCC Valentine's Dinner. All the hosts are going as characters from Ouran. I am Honey (and taller than one of the twins XD) It was entertaining (we practised serving stuff, twincest lulz). Only!!! I haven't made the stoopid vest yet D=<
I have however started on the crossbow for my Kai (Heavenly Sword) cosplay. Speaking of which, I am going to go play that now. AT LEAST I KINDA WROTE AN ENTRY!

Amanda Palmer is touring and is going to Auckland. So now we are organising our adventure to Auckland in March. We both have to wait until after Busker's to get paid so we can book everything but that is irrelevant! What is relevant is that this is exciting and I am filled with squee flavoured anticipation!
In other news; I brought a yellow and white umbrella today for $4 it is huge

I am coming back to this journal.
I never really felt comfy at the old one. It was like a shoe that was far too big. Too much to live upto. Plus, having a livejournal for close to five years isn't too bad of an effort, even if you are stuck with a stupid name you made up when you were 13...
So let's rock and roll baby. To start the beginning of this new journey, I will now answer some 50 questions thing that I did at some point a few years ago. First one is my old answer, second is my NEW UPDATED answer. Some things never change... like me doing stupid questionaires often.
( Quiz )Ok, that's all done and gone.
So, yesterday Ella Gini and I had a Skins marathon. Good times. I was quite hungry + sleepy the whole time though. As soon as Gini turned the lights off for sleep time I feel asleep aparently.
In the morn Ella and I awoke and went downstairs to eat breakfast (me yogurt, her pringles) then Gini came down and we all watched Skins extras.
I caught the bus, and the bus driver said she liked the buttons of my dress. She was very nice. After a nice journey listening to a song I don't know the name of but like, I got off a stop early because sometimes it's nice to have a block of walking to think.
I got home and decided to check my NCEA results. I put in the wrong number... then had to get a new password, confusing stuff.
Passed level 3 with excellence. I am quite stoked, since it was my school goal for this year
History A, M, SNA (not attempted)
Classics E, E, M
Design A (passed! yus!)
Printmaking E (fuck yes!)
I only ended up getting 10 ICT credits, it was either complete my papers or do my art work. Printmaking is worth it. Speaking of which I really want to find a printing press somewhere for hire in Christchurch so I can continue printmaking without going to fine arts/paying $3000+ not going well so far, emailed a few places but no reply. Alas.
Oh, then Mum came home and I told her I did really badly =D
Then she was proud of me for doing well and took me to Spotlight to get some clothings.
After cooking dinner, we started to watch a movie but it was boring and depressing so I asked if there were any movies she wanted to rent...
So we watched Mamma Mia XD Appropriate. It was better than I thought it would be, but then again I have always had a weak spot for musicals.
Welllll, hopefully I will update again another day!

Gini left on this day. So after school we went to Boarders where we met up with Josh, and we drank cawfee and Josh got Gini a book.
While we were drinking coffee, we happened to overhear part of a conversation a girl and guy next to us were having a conversation which went like this:
Girl: So basicly, you're here trawlin' for chicks? How cute!
Due to sleep deprivation of both Gini and I and regular sized coffee we started snickering quietly. But then we started laughing even more because sometimes you see someone else laughing and it looks funny. Then Josh was confused because he hadn't heard what she said, so we laughed even more.
It was good fun!
Next we went to Timezone and got photo stickers (with the machine that makes every picture look amazing). Then we played a 'throw the balls in the frogs mouth' game. But the tickets got stuck, so the guy got the key and re-setted the machine and we got 60 TICKETS!! It was amazing.
Then Gini and I went to the bus stop and said our goodbyes, which probably sounded like the parting between lovers in a trashy romance novel. Which is always fun.
Today I got up and played Destroy All Humans2 for most of the day :D

Thanks to everyone who came :D
I went to the pharmacy and by Monday at 4.20pm I will have 55 photos developed from CD! I hope they come out OK. Most of them are from my party. There's a lot of Bella in only her underwear... hmmm....
But I had some mixer.And it was supposidly only 7% vodka. But it tasted like shite. I was so angry.
I'm going to Ella's in 5 hours! But what to do before then... I could do my history internal that I haven't started on and is due in three days.... OR NOT!
I'm suppose to be in town right now, getting tights, instead I'm doing this quiz from Rosa's Myspace. Good Times

Some Facts You Need To Know
If the Bill is passed, good parents will be treated as criminals under the law
The police have confirmed that smacking a child would be assault. They will have to investigate any complaint made against a parent for smacking or even removal to "time out". This will immediately place a family under enormous pressure. The police have to enforce the law, regardless of what politicians say. Did you know? - Two Queen's Counsel have said that removing a child to "time out", a light smack, and even the threat of a light smack, would become assault if s59 is repealed. The Select Committee's proposed changes to s59 would have the same effect.
Banning smacking will not stop child abuse
In 2003, a UNICEF report identified poverty, stress and family breakdown - along with drug and alcohol abuse - as the factors most closely and consistently associated with child abuse and neglect. Did you know? - Of the five countries with the lowest child abuse death rates in the UNICEF report, four allow smacking!
Child abuse is already illegal in New Zealand
The law already says that child abusers have committed a crime. Did you know? - Since 1990, there have only been seven successful defences under s59 - that's seven in 16 years!
Reasonable smacking does not damage children or teach them to be violent
Did you know? - A recent Otago University study found that children who were smacked in a reasonable way had similar or slightly better outcomes in terms of aggression, substance abuse, adult convictions and school achievement than those who were not smacked at all.
Kiwis know the difference between smacking and child abuse
Did you know? - Averaged out, polls show that 80% of us want to keep the status quo.
At that site you can email your MP in less than 20seconds and tell them that you're opposed to it. Yep yep yep.
Also, the Labour government (all of whom were forced to vote in favor of the bill by Helen Clark) is pushing the bill so that it will be passed through sooner than the intended date, which was to be in two months.
It's stupid. The rate that we're going we're becoming less and less of a democracy. The people are suppost to run the government, not the other way round

And I have a cold. Gah.
But despite that I'm still pretty happy about today!
If my life were a movie this would be it's soundtrack:
The first few are creepy and appropriate!
Borrowed/stolen from
The past week or so of my life has been dedicated to making my Card Captor Sakura costume for Armageddon. And I think it is slowly driving me to the brink of insanity. Why does the ribbon hate me? WHY?! Geez
Anyway, it is my birthday party in less than two weeks. I'm looking forwards to it! Mum has agreed to let it be unsupervised, which is a big win. And then a few weeks after that is Armageddon! But Gini is leaving a week before it to China for a month ;__; Oh no!
I went to buy my tickets for Armageddon the other day. The lady at the counter assumed I was a child (I was wearing my school uniform) and I didn't have time to correct her, she just kept on going at a million miles an hour. But I got a double pass for $18 instead of $26 so I' not exactly complaining. Only I am, because the age for Children's ticket was 12 and under. I'm 17 on the 29th goddamit! Oh well, I guess that means when I turn 18 and go to buy restricted stuff people will always ask me for ID which will make me feel old and important. Yep, yep, yep.
Also, yesterday I was in the food court in the City and a boys high guy and two year 11s from my school walked by. And the guy said to me 'Are you a dyke?' and then he and the girls laughed and pretty much ran away before I could think of an amazing comeback. But... WTF? Maybe someone took it seriously when I confessed my undying love for Gini and proposed... hmmm

I'm so happy. A combination of coffee, Grace Kelly by Mika (love for this song! Yeah!) and the awesome amazing skirt Gini gave me today. I wasso pleased. I'm going to wear it tomorrow to swimming sports even though it's not blue or ninja related. (I can be a girl ninja?) It's that cool :)
Today: I went to coffeee with Gini. It was so good. Then we spent the next few hours there doing homework and reading :D I listened in on a group of people at the Borders cafe... I think they were a monthly book club or something. After we went back to Gini's, consumed food, and watched Grey's Anatomy. Hah, I just gave Sake some catnip treats. Now she's all cute n hyper! Awah!
Then Mum called, and I thought she was angry with me for not being home. But when I got home she wasn't angry at all... confusing lady!
Today Gini gave me a Valentine's Card :D I gave her a (paper) ring, since I proposed to her yesterday. But I have to make a new one! Yep yep yep.
I'm so excited. I get to keep my snake bite studs in for swimming sports tomorrow. I really hate the plastic retainers. Because they're not studs, they come out sometimes, and the right one isn't reacting well to them (it's being really puss-y) but it's gotten a lot better. so I'm pleased!
CA-CHING!

I'll do what Bella did. To make things simple.
Maths - I have Ms Logie again. I had her last year, there was quite a bit of mutual hate. But she doesn't seem as bad this year. Plus the girl who sits next to me (Amanda) is really nice and chipper. And has the same Hello Kitty eraser as me! Amazing!
ICT We get 34 Credits for doing unit standards! -insert happiness- I figured out I can also make good use of the high speed internet connection at school and download manga during the lessons, then put them on my mp3 player, which doubles as a 2gb memory stick, and put them on the computer at home.
Design and photography I'm really looking forwards to it! We're doing photography first. We got to take notes about composition. I was so happy! Yesterday we went into the dark room. It's pretty amazing, and really big (I thought it was tiny for some reason...)
English We don't have to do speeches! Thank fuck. Instead we're doing a unit standard where we have to read 9 books. Which is good for me. I'm so bad at presenting speeches
Classics It's looking really interesting so far. There were coloured slide shows today 'o' and a lot of the stuff we're learning, we covered in latin. Win.
History The teacher is amazing, especially after two years of Mrs Prebble (who apparently is losing her mind). She explains things really nice, and has the neatest handwriting in the world (she's Gini's handwriting idol, heh). And the class is small, so it's easy to ask questions.
I know I'm not suppost to start sentances with 'and' but I can't help it! It's a disease.

I woke up with a really bad headache on Tuseday. But then Gini gave me some pain killers, and it was amazing. Then I fell back asleep (after watching the evil trippy cartoons), had an amazing sleep coz Josh's bed is so comfy, then woke up to Home and Away. There were two girls on it arguing and I thought it was happening in real life. But all through-out Monday night I wanted to listen to Sigur Ros. And when I finally did my life was complete. I also talked to a girl who went to British schools in the middle east, about techno music.
I've spent all day today being lazy as fuck, and it's been amazing. I've read 2 comics, and I'm part way through re-reading Perks of being a Wallflower for the 3rd or 4th time ^^;
The music on my mp3 player is almost over. Gah.
Mum thought I had a rash on my back, but it was just kitten scratches. Aww =^__^=
Have to go to school on Thursday... shit. That's tomorrow. I thought there was one more day >__>
Musics ended. Goodbye
