My laptop is about to go to sleep, and so am I. So goodnight.

Just wanted to say though, that Ess and I gave Alex our present. It started with a block of butter that had happy birthday scratched into it, which we put on her porch and waited for her to come out and see it, then we gave her a Beatles alarm clock and a Beatles poster. Brilliant, if I may say so myself. ;)

Yah, sleep time. Xx

Wow 3rd post for the day, thats unusual for me. I just created a formspring thingo http://www.formspring.me/harryluvsginny Here, ask me anything :)
I'm bored

Nuff said.
♥

I finished reading the Shark Net. Whoooo!
And I finished taking ontes on one of the extra texts.
I bought my I.T text book, so I can do that homework and I just have to read Streetcar named Desire and write a few more notes on some stuff and I've finished all my homework.

So happy.

I sent out a few invited to Mr. McClelland's Finishing school for Friday, so hopefully we can get a few people going, it'll be fun. :)

I have 2 hours and 5 minutes in my L's log book!
Wooot :D

I've only had my L's for 9 months XD I am finally driving. And I can start the car without it jerking. Amazing.

I borrowed "The Man Who Knew Too Much" from the library about 2 weeks ago and finally got around to watching it.
Its really odd, I remember about 20 minutes of it (from when they're in the church until Albert Hall and the assassin runs out) but the other hour I had no clue about. I didn't even think I had watched it before. Maybe I was flicking channels and ABC was playing it or something.

I don't know if I like Hitchcock... Its a bit dull... I know he's a classic and all but even Streetcar and Breakfast at Tiffany's are more interesting then some of his movies.

Speaking of, I get to study Streetcar Named Desire this year, for English, so I'm going to have to listen to a whole load of dumb ass kids saying that it's boring but at least I get to stare at Marlon Brando being pretty for a term. *sigh*
I'm going to Ace English this year *touch wood* I've already read 1984, I've seen Streetcar and the other book is some Aussie shit book which shouldn't be too complicated. I'm ahead of my class already. :)

Even just listening to the Across the Universe version of I've Just Seen a Face makes me think about Jim Sturgess singing it and, in turn, makes me swoon.

I've spent the whole day cleaning my room, I'm still nowhere near finished *sigh* And then I have to start on the attic. Most of it has to be done today because I'm going out tomorrow and I'm having a sleep over on Thursday.
Argh, I hate cleaning.

xx

I think I skipped it completely last year so:
Merry fucking christmas.

I'm $150 richer yay.

Voldemort just posted his new mobile number (he didn't have a mobile before now) all over Facebook. This kid makes me so frustrated!!!

FUUUUUCK.
There's goes my day tomorrow.

I know I promised a post about Studio A, but I bought a new phone today and I've been playing with it all day.

Its really cool, a full touch screen. Its an LG, pretty good price, and yeah, I like it.

So, I'm working tomorrow morning and I may come home and write up a post. I need to write one for last weeks Mic in hand too.

next week is Frank Woodley! :D So excited.

-I feel like I have a full time job, I've been at work almost every day this week. I don't mind, I have a lot of fun, and I've saved more in a week then I have all year, but I'm exhausted. I have to go back at 3pm today :/

-As I have had no time to write it, I'll write about Studio A tomorrow. There's lot to tell!

-I still need more answers for my Holidays homework http://harry-luvsginny.livejournal.com/114927.html If you want to help.
Thanks to all of those who have done it already :)

-When I went to reply to a comment just before this stupid ad came up that took over the whole page pretending to be my system computer and "scanning for viruses" because LJ could be harmful and it went to the control panel and showed like 8 trojans or something. It pissed me off! Any smart person would notice the url up the top of the page, and that is not a nice way to sell a product, you shouldn't scare people!

I'm going to a barbecue for an hour before work so I better hurry up and get ready.

Wooo. I had my last 2 exams this afternoon.
They were really easy too, hopefully I don't get a shit mark now. ;)
Media was exactly the same as the practice exam, literally exactly the same. and IT was.... simple.

Anyway, after that awesome finish I got home, checked my emails and found 4 tickets to Sleuth 101 in my inbox, its a new ABC show, hosted by Cal Wilson http://www.abc.net.au/corp/pubs/media/s2692101.htm It sounds really cool. One of my friends from the Tripod forum went to a taping earlier in the year and she said it was good, so I have high hopes. The only problem now is finding people to go with, hopefully my mum will take us, and I'm hoping Esther and Emily will come with us. Alex can't because she's going to watch her dad on Who wants to be a Millionaire.
Oh well, I think we'll both have some fun.

Now to enjoy some freedom.

Russell in Hotpants.



That is all.

I have finished my unit 4 Psych exam! :D No more Psych EVER!
I feel like I've finally accomplished something, I've finish a year 12 subject and I'm not even in Year 12. Yayz.
It was a lot easier then I thought it was going to be, there were a couple of questions that I stumbled over but most of it was pretty straight forward. :D So happy.

I just asked Ess if she wanted to come to A Mic in Hand with me again, tonight, and she said yes, if she finishes her English Essay... So that is going to be awesome.
We spent most of today hanging in the music room, and on Puckle St. I probably should've gone to class after my exam but I wasn't going to go home, get changed and come back for class, and I wasn't going to sit the exam in my uniform. Pffft. Plus I went on Wednesday, when I couldv'e spent the day home "studying." So :PPPP

I was going to post some pics from Halloween but they're all really crappy so I'm going to leave it.

-I was supposed to spend the whole day studying and most of the time I've been stuck on the internet.

-I really want to watch BeetleJuice. I remember watching it a very long time ago and loved it and only recently found out that Tim Burton made it! I really feel like watching it now

-

This is made of win.

-Found links to download Trinity. :DD I finally get to watch Christian Cooke half nude it.

-Day off today, minimum school tomorrow and Psych exam on Thursday. :/

I watched 2 movies today that I've been wanting to watch for ages.
The first was Edward Scissor Hands. So cute! We were watching it Media, we haven't finished though, hopefully we get to watch it next class.
Then, afterschool, I went to Em's and we watched Help! The Beatles movie. I love John so much. He's so pretty. And Ringo in that movie is so cute. Awwwww.Poor George always gets left out, and Paul is just paul. Hehe.
I love their house/s I would totally make a house like that, I think its an awesome idea.

Emily also has a new kitten, called Belle, its so tiny and cute!! <3

Downloading Jon on NMTB right now!! Can't wait to watch it.

xx
HLG

ETA: Just finished watching NMTB. Jon is made of cute!
He did quite well, I thought he was going to freak out, but he spoke more then I thought he would. He even challenges Noel Fielding, which was so funny and awesome.
A great episode I think.
Off to watch a Hard Day's Night. xx

I found a Lush store in Melbourne city today. It was such an amazing store. They have bubble bath bombs that look properly homemade, they're all wonky and stuff, and they have a million little black tubs of different gels and purfumes and balms. I don't usually go into body shops the reason why I went in and was so excited when I saw the sign was because I  saw these sometime last year:

And they are actually there!!
I was so excited. My friend Esther thought I was weird. Unfortuntaley they're like $18 and I don't really have $18 to spend on some hair gel that I will leave on my shelf and only ever use it to giggle at when Boosh fans come over. One day I will buy them though.

I have my Yr 12 Psych exam next week, I think I'll do ok, I don't really care, I have another 5 next year if this one flops. I've been studying though.  I'm not going to even study for my year 11 ones, maybe English Language, but only because that one is hard, for the others (I.T and Media) I'll just make up some crap, should be really easy.

Jon on NMTB soon, I can't wait!!!
Don't remember if I posted about it already, but Russell Howard's Good News was hilarious. I love it. I hope the ABC show it, its not really topical to England, maybe a coupe of politicians and stuff but we get it.

Best be off, I still haven't practiced for tonight.
