Is possibly the most cliche graduation song ever, and it was voted as ours. Because I graduate tomorrow, along with every other grade 12 student in Australia.. well most. And the thought isn't just emotional, but terrifying. I always thought I wouldn't cry when the time came for us to leave because I only have one close friend in my whole year grade, but I could barely keep a straight face today when we were practising singing our senior songs. Everyone around me was crying and coming up for hugs with tear streaked faces and it was horrible to force yourself to keep the tears in. I know they'll come tomorrow, but I don't care as much coz at least I won't look like such a fool. So long as I remember to not wear so much eye make-up. Even now as I'm sitting here, I can feel my insides tingle with excitement at the thought of cutting up my uniform and going into school as a student for the last time tomorrow, then dressing up fancy and going to grad that night. Too bad they're forcing us to dance. What happened to an individual's right to not participate? Friggin' dictator Mr. Wagner. So I've moved the majority of my files from my school computer to my home one, got half my shirt signed (I'll get the rest tomorrow) and I've signed multiple people's shirts myself, and I still feel like I'll be going back to school next year as a high school student. I don't think that part has sunk in yet. It's not that I've finished my education, coz I've still got uni, its just that I won't have to put up with petty bitching and exclusion and teachers that talk down to you and people that ruin your day. I honest to god hated high school. People say it as the best time of their lives but without a group of friends then it's nothing. I hated the groups at my high school. I don't hate the people as individuals (at least, not all of them) but I hate the whole 'grouping' thing, and being defined by what group you're with. Kids, high school is fucking cruddy and you'll hate yourself and how you used to be when you look back at the years you've spent there if you conform to a group you don't wholly like. I'm glad to leave, but I know it'll be tough now, what with working to get money to support myself through university. Then university itself. Leaving this town, making new friends.. Which will be exceedingly difficult seeing as I seem to have been self-condemmed to be a massive introvert.

Good luck with life Kelly, you're on your own now.

DREAD starring Jackson Rathbone.

No release date has been announced yet for Australia, but it'll be out at the end of January next year in America so I guess it'll be available for download around then as well. It'll be shown at a lot of film festivals, including America's 'After Dark Horrorfest'. Why doesn't Cairns ever get anything cool like that?



RATHBONE!

100 Monkeys has to be one of the best experimental bands I've ever heard, and I absolutely love them. I know of them purely because Jackson Rathbone is the frontman, but I appreciate their music so so much, I wish they'd come to Australia to play a few shows. Plus, they're such crazy guys! Their new film clip for their song 'Ugly Girl' is FUNTASTIC! I've watched it so many times and still love it to death.

reminds me of a cross between that Little Britain (I hate Little Britain, but this is just here for the reference's sake) guy and Jaime off Summer Heights High. Brilliant actor though, I must say :D

What a babe (L). 0:26 of the film clip makes me melt.

Jerad is such a cutie! I adore 1:12!!

Ben G really does pull off that make up surprisingly well..

War paint? I totally dig Ben J's fancy moustache!

Didn't actually expect Uncle Larry to be in the music video.. Oh well, he's old school cool, with a sweet feather hat :D

Wasn't as art related as I thought. We were forced to do a Performing Arts exercise as well.. I dropped out of Drama for a reason. Well two reasons. I can't act, and I hate trying to act. Made me angry. But we did this cool photography exercise outside where one person wore a blindfold and the other person had to steer them away from dangers as they walked blindly, while taking photos at the same time. It was supposed to heighten your sense of hearing and touch, which I thought was a really good approach to changing your perspective of taking photos. After we did that, we got into teams of four. Three people were blindfolded and held onto a thin piece of cotton to stay together, and the aim was to not let the cotton break. The fourth person steered the other three and took photos. Some of them turned out really lovely and warm:

Photo taken by Kayla. I love how bright my hair looks against all that green :)

Photo taken by Thuraya I think.. Kayla was misleading me with her string! When we were in pairs, Kayla was too busy framing up her shot at one point, and let me wander into the bushes. Thanks, friend!

I love this photo, and I'm not sure why.. Maybe it's because they're both facing different ways, but manage to be looking at each other while they're blindfolded. Or the fact that Kayla's hair is so white. Liv and Kayla, photo taken by me.

I think this was taken by Liv? I like how my hair is flicky.

Robert fell over! Ha! It was raining all day and the ground was very muddy and slippery. Photo by Kaity, I think. Not quite sure.

A RENTED RETRO PHOTOBOOTH!

How fantastic would that be? it's about $300 for 4hours, but I definantly think it'd be worth it. You'd get a heap of great candid photos of everyone you love! Plus those booths are gorgeous, in a really tacky kitsch kind of way.

11 days till both New Moon AND my last day of high school ever. I don't know which one I'm more excited about. I've decided to go see New Moon in the cinemas, as opposed to my original plan of just watching it at home to avoid the screaming bitches in the cinema. I'm going to watch it at the City Cinema complex, as to avoid a majority of the crowd. I hope they're showing it there.

Anyway, yeah, Etsy is a great place to shop..

TEAM JACOB!

I've loved this book series for over 4 years and now it's a movie! Yeah, vampires rah rah rah, but this is a truly excellent story, and seeing as some clips are on Youtube, you shall watch one!



"You should actually go wash your hand off before you get pink eye.."
/grin.


oh yeah, by the way.. Darren is the kid in the suit and he's a new born vampire. Evra is the snake boy and Darren's friend at Cirque Du Freak.

THUMBS UP!

Heath Ledger's last film! Honestly, that was the driving factor for me, to go see that film in the cinema. I read a review in the Weekender and it said that while it was Ledger's last film, people wouldn't end up sticking around to see the end of it coz it was so boring. WRONG! I admit, there was a bit of a lull in the middle of it, but the ending was really great, as was the Imaginarium and whole idea of the movie.

Plus, Lily Cole made such a beautiful gypsy girl, with her huge eyes and ginger hair.

But yes, it really is an excellent film. I'd go see it again, but purely for this guy:
