Boredom in the AM

So basically it is 1:14am (by the time I finish writing this it will be later but screw the specifics) and I am just a bit bored... So I decided to do a bit of blogging (mainly before uni starts cause I don't want to interfere with my buds Mark and David's education)..

So yeah, whats happening lately huh? Seems to be a lot..

Well, I moved to Adelaide for one.. It is quite amazing.. And quite cold, usually, I have endured almost 0 degree temperatures, hail, thunderstorms, excessive wind and surprisingly it got hot one day.. I will admit, I miss Cairns purely for the fact that the weather is predictable!! Whilst Adelaide is wonderous I do miss having friends around that I can visit whenever.. Making new friends has proved quite difficult seeing as all I do is work and cadets.. Especially cause I don't really want to be friends with the people at my work.. Then there is cadets.. Well there has always been problems with me getting along and playing nice with people at cadets but OH WELL!! Most importantly I am now a few states away from my bestest friend in the entire world Rachhy and that is taking its toll :(

I start uni on the 26th.. Studying Commerce and I know there are a few who thing its a bludge course, but I had a look through the Business Statistics textbooks and FAARRKKKK the amount of ridiculously long equations equal my brain all melty... But yeah, should be good, only have to go down the hill on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays :) Pretty keen for Commercial Law!!

Been counting down the days til I turn 18 currently I have 103 days left.. Haha!! TOO LONG!!

I have my tickets to Soundwave Revolution on October 1st at the Adelaide Showgrounds.. I cannot explain how excited I am to see Panic! At the Disco!! They have been my favourite band since yr 8 and its just soooo amazing, they are just sooo amazing :) AHHHHHHHHH!!! Brendon Urie <3 hehe

Hmm, I guess I am a bit tired now (I used all my energy to get my brain to function)..

Farewells all, til next we meet
IVORILLY!!

p.s - I kinda want to change my blog name to complement my change of location but I have no idea what to...  Ideas?? :)

Secret to Procrastination

I have recently talked to one of my school friends and he informed me that he is very glad that I started posting again. Simply because he finds my posts amusing and they provide a form of procrastination. So Mark, here starts my disruption of your university education (LOL).

Apparently, quite a few things have happened in the past few weeks. I finally stopped trying to enjoy living in Cairns and accepted that I need to move. So I'm heading off to major city land, Adelaide. And in turn moving back in with my parents. Never ever ever did I imagine myself actually doing this and for a week I was quite disappointed with myself. All was settled though when an extremely drunk female told me that it was okay, at least I am not like her and still live with my parents at 27. Lets hope that doesn't happen.

Also, most of you are aware that my dream career has been an officer in the ADF, right? Yeah well I went for my Assessment Day in Townsville, got through all my interviews, psych tests and everything, I was even recommended for Officer Selection Board by my interviewer. Only to be told after waiting around in a super cold room that my eyesight isn't good enough. Not even good enough for a desk job. It was hell. 

...Rebuilding a dream is tough work, but I will get there...

When in high school, you think that you and your friends will be friends forever. You will catch up all the time, go to parties together and nothing will change. Unfortunately, your wrong. Lucky for me, I got to catch up with two of my favourite grade 12 friends David and Mark, oh as well as John (that kid who was MEAN'T to be in grade 12 but decided to spent a year in Canada and get into all kinds of mischief and came back to Australia to find out he has to complete grade 11).. It was an enjoyable night consisting of curry from Mother India (Butter Chicken is awesome) and a few laughs at Scream 4. I do believe all of us (including the pansy Mark) thought Scream 4 was a completely ridiculous movie, honestly the characters just wouldn't die... They totally dragged the story wayyyy too far!! Oh wells.

Oh yeah, and I have a block fringe. Just saying :)

Well, thats all for now folks.

<3

Oh yeah, Panic! At the Disco is coming to Soundwave Revolution this year and doing a few shows.. I'm going to get to see them twice!!! So HAPPY!!!

Anti-friend

Sooo, I recently found out that one of my supposedly 'close' school friends deleted me as a friend on Facebook. At first I was all like oh yeah, probably an accident, she most likely doesn't even realise she deleted me. So I re-added her. A few days later I decided to have a squizz to see if she had accepted my request and well no she hadn't. AND HER DP WAS DIFFERENT!!! So she had obviously been on Facebook and seen my friend request and ignored it... WTS!?!?!? 

I like to believe that my witty, sarcastic and occasionally offensive status updates and comments are a decent contribution to Facebook society. And I also like to believe that they provide amusement to those who, like me, have nothing better to do with themselves but sit on the internet 24/7.

So basically, its been about a month and a bit since I re-added her and nothing has happened, I even sent her a message the other day. No reply. What a bitch. 

LONG OVERDUE

Much like getting my eyebrows waxed and that library book I still have, a new blog post is WAYYYYY overdue ... Much has happened since I last blogged which was Term 3 2010.. Shock!

I finished year 12 and in turn the entirety of secondary schooling.
I am almost finished getting myself into ADFA.
I'm newly single.
I'm a self proclaimed cadet-a-holic.. ( I always have been but now that I can't cover it up with school I'm realising how much time I put into that organisation
I have two new jobs Grill'd and T-Bar.. I love them both - t-shirts and burgers HUZZAH!!
I have an i-Phone cause I'm just that cool (bonus-bonus I don't have to pay the bills!!!)
I no longer live at home - my parents move to Adelaide (so in a way they moved out on me)
While the traditional name for my place is 529, I like to break the norm and call it NARNIA.
I finished collecting all of the Red Dwarf DVDs!! HOORAYYY!!
I have a more close connection with Captain Jack Sparrow and his question "Why is the rum always gone?", cause after an eventful night at the beach that has become my new saying.
70% of my social life is on Facebook.
All my jokes come from either Scrubs or YouTube.
And my originality is at an all time low.
I bought a unicorn bag and a shoe bag as well as too many t-shirts.
I threw out an old pair of connies, which have been a good friend to me, but were really super mega dead. (aka - holes, worn out bottom of shoe, lost the thin line of rubber around base and I can put stuff underneath the rubber toe bit) - oh and I almost cried when I dropped them into the bin.
I have a new obsession with tuna - but I refuse to eat it in sushi.
I dropped down a bra size (I dont know if this is relevant in any way)
I have a new pair of cadet boots which i am in the process of shining.
I have become a green freak - carbon footprint hello?
I'm slowly learning that if you don't have a drier you NEED to wash your clothes at least 1 day before you want to wear them.
My hair is now mid way down my back (BIGGG IMPROVEMENT FROM BUZZ CUT BORDERLINING BALD)
I own too many pairs of denim shorts (what? they go with everything)
I have stopped hoarding things.. I'm now a bare-minimalist (unless you include clothes)
I haven't seen friends from school in months.
I'm on dawn service guard again :) second year in a row bro!!
Today was the first time I have drunken coffee in about 2 weeks.. All time records.
Not having aircon is AWESOME!!!
Sunbus is stupid and unreliable!!
I have also realised that I REALLY REALLY REALLY want my P plates..
Brushing your hair is not essential.. After misplacing my brush for 4 days I realised that my hair looks better when it's not brushed..

---- And I thing I'm just rambling now LOL!!!

Just Before School Starts Again :)

REOWRR -- REOWR -- REOWRRRRRRR
Guess what all you tunerinererss!!! Tis the last day of the holidays!!!
YES! I know that it means school is back on.
YES! I know it means i have to wake up before 1pm.
YES! I know it means i can't go on facebook everyday.
YES! I know it means i will have assignments to do.
YES! I know i shouldn't be happy... BUT I AM!!!
For me, it means that I get to see my friends everyday, indulge in my foccacia rolls (chicken, avocado, mayo and lettuce -- YUMM), wear my senior shirt with pride, attend uber fun art lessons and bask in how much of a genius i am in Maths A.
It is also the LAST serious term of my secondary school education. So goodbye hypocritical, stereotypical and judgemental teenagers -- helllooooo ADFA!!


Seriously, I have been doing like nothing this holidays. I guess I did go out to the movies to see 'Get him to the Greek' with PGC, the 'Twi-athon' with my mum and hannah, 'Eclipse' with the girls and 'Eclipse' again with mummy (yes i saw eclipse 3 times shush). I also went out with David, Mark, Chloe, Nataliee and John for Cactus Jacks and A-Team. Also shopping with Shani and Emma, horror movie night over at Chloe's place and my brother's birthday party... Hmm, I guess I did actually do a fair bit haha.


A few bad things about this term are that I have an art major, biology report and a legal studies exam with in the first two weeks. A 5000 word legal studies exam for the term, a maths exam, most likely another biology assignment, a health assignment, a religion assignment, an art major aaannd a art assignment as well as a bunch of english stuff. AND WORST OF ALL, QCS!!! Arghhhh!!!!


Next wednesday, I have a recruitng interview which pretty much tells me if I am smart enough to get into ADFA... Uber nervous :/


I don't really know what else to report on, soooooo... I'M OFF!!!
Have fun this term peepss!!
<3 Ivoryyyyyy

BEETROOT BUTCHER

Welcome to the magical land of the Beetroot Butcher.
Where Unicorns aren't actually Unicorns, but Hexicorns,
And Zebras limp around on one leg.
Magical swirls of lavender and magenta fill the sky,
And the air you breathe is tainted with Caffiene instead of Carbon Dioxide.
Who ever thought that in this fantastical land the grass would still be green.

Just a little something I whipped up in my religion exam ;)
