desire

Where true Love burns Desire is Love's pure flame;
It is the reflex of our earthly frame, 
That takes its meaning from the nobler part, 
And but translates the language of the heart.

                          a poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

I wanted to share this poem I found, it really touches my mind and my soul.

freedom

This summer is going to be the best one of my life. I hope. I have so many plans and expectations that it might not be able to live up to the picture in my mind. So, what's on the menu?

Jump up and down a lot after the last exam. I want be a bookworm again. I want to party with friends. I want to relax with friends. Put up the Christmas tree. Decorate the house. Give presents. Receive presents. (?). Write a novel. Get a tan. Attend gigs. Shop til' I drop. Renew my wardrobe. Sensation. (I wish). Get into my dream course. Feel the Christmas spirit. Be the Christmas spirit. Watch all the shows they only play during summer. Sweat in the heat and know that all my hard work during the year has payed off. Go beaching with friends. Socialise. Start working. Spend my hard earned money. Take chances and risks. Dance the night away. Be with my closest friends a lot. Meet new people. Learn to play violin. Eat out. Just let go. 

I can hardly wait.

generation y don't you leave us alone

I'm so sick of shows like 60 minutes that verbally bash generation y; clearly because they don't have any other stories to talk about.

I'm not naive, I'm quite aware of the stupid teens drinking their way to mental disorders. But I'm talking about the generalisation of gen y, that we're about "grog" and we're spinning out of control. That we are stupid generation. The alcohol abusers. 

I'd like to remind gen x and above that they did far worse then we do, however conveniently for them the media or big brother I like to call them, wasn't watching and filming their every move.

So don't blame us for turning into monsters that you created. You can't create Frankenstein, and then run away when he starts to think for himself. You made us. You created the world we are defined by. So sit down or shut up. Generation y will help itself, we don't need you old people pointing fingers and telling us what we should be.

health kick

I noticed a little extra flab hanging around my body that I really don't want, so I've decided to go healthy to save me from myself.

Rule One: No junk. That includes all chocolate, biscuits, chips, lollies, ice-cream etc.

Rule Two: Three main meals a day; small portions. No snacking throughout the day that never feels like binging but is.

Rule Three: Exercise everyday.

Rule Four: What I do eat must be healthy so as to provide sustinance for my body.

I'm gonna admit right now that this is my fourth day, and I bashfully confess that I had a weak moment today, with some chips. So I've decided to start the count over tomorrow and try again.

Note to self: To eliminate those weak moments during the day, throw out any temptations around the kitchen.

what to do, what to do

With all the trials exams going on this week, I havn't written in a while. Since my last post I've finished True Blood season one. O. M. G. I won't spoil it my mentioning the majorness, but now I'm hooked and need second helpings. But season two won't come anywhere near us for a while. Damn it. If you know when it does come out, comment me.

I've been trying to stay away from the internet because I get too attached to facebook, and then I feel like I'm wasting away my time. Now that I've finished True Blood, I'm back to searching for a new hobby and in my search I rediscovered the ds lite.

LOVE. I finished Mario, and I'm on to Zelda, but this one bit I just can't figure out..

I really wish I could get back to my roots, ie. reading 24 hours a day, but I think I just need to let it grab me naturally again. Until then, DS will keep me company.

snooze-fest

I had an english practice exam today. It went for 3 hours. One word: Pointless

I think the idea behind having practice exams for each subject is good, but the thing is they don't benfit us at all since we don't even have time to study for them while we're frantic about everything at the moment. If I hadn't done that exam I wouldn't be so brain dead and I could be studying chem right now. 

Mood: Sleepy

bite me, please

I had my first taste of blood last night.

True Blood that is. And I got hooked imediatly. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, here's a quick recap. True Blood is a tv series about vampires that walk freely among humans, with the main vamp, the ultra sexy Bill Compton. drooool.

Yes, I know what you may be thinking. I was once like you. I thought that after Twilight, everyone was going to produce low quality vampire flicks, books and tv shows in an attempt to jump onto the bandwagon and make money on the hearts of women everywhere. But this show is so much better than Twilight.

For one, the leading lady, Sookie Stackhouse is not a damsel in distress all the time as Bella is. This girl can take care of herself. 

It's rated R 18+, for a good reason. In the first two episodes I watched last night there might have been, say, 5 very strong sex scenes. But it's not a smutty show, it's more than that. And might I mention that I LOVE the theme song, "Bad things" by Jace Everett.

Wish me luck for episodes 3 and 4 tonight.

bingo

Ever since eurovision aired back in May, I've wanted to get some sort of memento from 2009 Moskva, why? I'm pretty sure that after all the years of watching it religiously I'm able to fairly judge the good from the very bad. 2009 was by far the best year for a long time, the best music and performances. Sure, I think it's insane that Poland never gets through..although I am a little bias, but other than this glitch I can't wait for May each year. So ANYWAY, I thought taping the show would be enough, but it just ain't the same as having my very own DVD copy. So I've been searching for the dvd everywhere, with zero results. Yesterday, I went back to the store that one week ago said that they were sold out, and hopefully but with dissapointment at the ready searched the world section when bingo! It was right in front of my eyes. Joy flooded me and I had it off the shelf and to the cash register before anyone told me I was dreaming.

In short, here sits one very happy girl.

paramore

You may have heard of them because of their contribution to the soundtrack of Twilight, but I promise to all the haters who are rolling their eyes as they read the T word, what they did for the movie with Decode is just skimming the surface. They're classified as Punk/Rock, and have an amazing sound and meaningful songs that you can choose to analyse or just rock out to. I've known of them for quite a while now, but with the release of their new album, Brand New Eyes,  looming they've really begun to grow on me. Thanks to an obsessive fan as my best friend. If you want to check them out, the songs that best represent what they're about are Misery Business, Born for This and the newest single, Ignorance. BIG recommend.

Coraline

I was a little sceptical when buying tickets for Coraline at the movies yesterday, it look okay, but I'd had enough of kids movies to last me a lifetime. Then the ticket lady told us our tickets were 20 dollars each rather than the usual 14.50.  She assured us this was normal for 3D movies. Nevertheless, I was excited to see the movie, as I am whenever I go to the cinema.

Now that I'm on the other end of the movie, I can say that it's another piece of genius from the mind of Tim Burton. It's quirky, kooky, weird and wonderful. It's not at all a kids movie, in fact if I was a 10 year old and went to see it, I would most likely have nightmares that night. The 3D gives it a special touch, but even without it, it would be excellent. Coraline is pretty short, just under two hours but well worth the money we payed for it. Although I felt like I made great use of that 20 dollar note, as we exited the theatre I chose to deposit my plastic 3D glasses in my handbag, rather than in their glasses recycle box. Later on as a trophy I wore them around JB Hi-Fi while I searched through cds and dvds, and felt cool.

Rating: ****

all girls

I'm so tired of going to an all girls school, I could scream. Backstabbing, moody friends and just all around BS. One of my closest friends is a beautiful girl who when she wants to be is very considerate, sweet and funny. But this week she got into one of those moods. I get that she was sick, missed out on some school and wasn't too prepared for a SAC but there really is no excuse to treat your best friends the way she does when things are not  going smoothly for her.

I love my girls at school, but co ed university next year will be a welcome change.

Night night,

xoxo Kay
