I spent over 40 euros at an S-Market. O_O

And yeah, the suncream and the "nice work NOT putting on suncream and getting burnt" cream were quite expensive, but still, HOW ON EARTH DID I SPEND THAT MUCH AT A SUPERMARKET!?!?!

Maybe I didn't have to buy so much chocolate. (But the cravings! They're crazy!) Or the chocolate chip cookies. (I blame Spot. xD) Or the socks. (You can NEVER have enough socks.)

I guess it's just part of being independant.

But at least I FINALLY have chocolate! I don't think it's a good sign that I spent most of my life sitting in my room and dying of sugar cravings. There is NOTHING sugary to eat in this house. Not even pulla!

I also bought a new pair of pyjamas. And I went back to Galleria Printti but they didn't have any nice funky cat books left, so I bought a horse one instead that has similar colours to mine. I don't know if Erin has a particular attachment to horses, but they reminded me of some of her drawings. I still feel bad about stealing her birthday present though. =/ Heh...

I should REALLY stop procrastinating and do something productive. Like find out what currancies I'll need for Eurotour.

Mmm, daim.

Friends Only

I really should have done this a year ago, when I started friending my entries. =P

This journal is friends only, and has been for a long time!

Leave a comment if you want to be friended (though not many people know about this journal...so I doubt anyone will).

The Birthday Post

I got a CAMERA!

All shall fear me! The world will never be safe from me and my camera and my snap-happiness. MWAHAHA.

THE LIST

This is what I got:

1. THE CAMERA!
2. A camera case...lol
3. A set of watercolour pencils, I CAN finish my art afterall =P
4. Brackets by Sigur Ros *hugs it*
5. Sparkly pens
6. Flute earrings! COOLEST THING EVER!
7. Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate

Late in the morning mum, Erin and I drove over to The Three Monkies Cafe in West End and I had a caramel slice and a milkshake. Then we had to rush back home so that I could get ready for QYO. The concert wasn't our best, but it had good bits and bad bits. Robyn lost his music half way through and Katrina had to stall...which she did by telling the audience that he had lost his music and then laughing at him. =P And there was a bit in Ripper March where Adam Shann was supposed to do this MASSIVE bass drum thud and Katrina gave him an EQUALLY MASSIVE cue and he missed it. The look on her face was priceless. n_n

The OMB concert hall was completely packed, it was fuller than I've ever seen it before. We played Celebration for Sally fantastically and they had a slide show of pictures of her. (I cried :fear:)

Unfortunately Jess Whitehead murdered the flute solo in Masada and she and Nadia completely destroyed Blithe Bells...(they stopped playing half way through and it was just me @_@)

And now I"m about to have cake...it's a cheesecake. ^_^

Do you know what? I haven't had a birthday at school since year nine. Because last year it was on a Saturday and the year before it was on Good Friday. And now I'll never have a birthday at school again.

Photos will come when I upload them...I took phtos of just about everything. Heh.

FEAR THE CAMERA.

Memories

I miss Kelly. =(

I can't believe everything changed so much.

Every now and then I find a photo that reminds me and it makes me really sad.

Remember the Happy Meadow? And the crows? And Garth Vader? And the dwarfs walking off a cliff?

Gone.

(no subject)

There is no way that I am going to do that. There is absolutely no way that they are going to make me do that.

I am so angry.

The next person who decides that threatening me is a good way to get what they want can go to hell. ><

For Garth

Dear Mr Edwards,

I don't know where you are, or if I'll ever find you again, but I hope and pray that you are safe, well and most of all - happy. I don't know if I'll ever get the chance to tell you this so I'll say it here.

You were the best English teacher we ever had. You made such a difference. Everything you said, everything you did, every time you tried to help us - you left an imprint on our lives that will not fade quickly. You cared so much about us, even though we were stupid, selfish fourteen year old girls. (well, I was anyway) Thank you so much for trying to help and for making sure that I was alright - even afterwards.

You taught me so much, about myself, about identity, about english, poetry and literature. You always tried to help us to think for ourselves and make our own conclusions, not just to be brainwashed by society. You even taught us not to let teachers control and change our opinions, a lesson that came in handy when your replacement, Ms Stevens, was replaced by the ever-opinionated Mrs Walker.

I always loved English, but you left me with a love of literature that will never fade.

Thankyou, thankyou so much for everything. You are amazing.

I hope that wherever you are, you are having a fantastic Christmas with your family and friends. I still miss you, and I'm still looking for you. I just hope that I'll be able to find you again someday. =(

O Captain! My Captain! *stands on desk*

Love from your ex-student,

~Claire (the werewolf)

You can tell how much I'm procrastinating by how many entries I post in one day n_n

Did I mention that Brendan is THE most good-looking guy EVER?

(I've been trying to write my petition for the Crucible...mmm, 17th century english. @_@ It's sort of fun. Sort of.)

Today - a rather pointless entry.

Heh, I have a really awesome bruise on my knee. It's purple. =D

School was fun today, though I almost didn't get there. Usually I get up at 7:30, but this morning went something like this:

*at 8:30*

Me - *asleep*

Dad - Claire: *poke* Wake up!

Me - AAARRGhghglglgghh.

Dad - What time do you want to go to school?

Me - Um...around 8:30?

Dad - *looks at the clock* Err....

He was supposed to ask me when I wanted to go to school at an APPROPRIATE time! Not after it's too late to get there in time for form! >< Ok, I do have a double spare this morning, but when have I stayed home on a thursday? I can't even REMEMBER. I was counting on that spare to get all my work done. >< I did manage to get there for most of it, but I had to wait in a huge queue of late people to sign in because I missed form. And I would have been quicker if dad had helped me with my jobs. So far he's made everything in my life harder for me since I got back. ><

But school was fun. We spent the whole day just talking about camp. The teachers were really annoyed. =P Oh, and I got my music composition from term 2 back. I got an A! Andre got an A+. =D

We have a school dance tonight. I think our grade is going to get there and fall asleep. I have too much pain in my arms to dance. (and my shoulder blades are currently trying to stab through my back. ><)

Argh....so...sore.

Yesterday Night

QYO actually turned out to be quite fun. We all went crazy organising the music into piles...=P (I forgot to clean mine. :fear:)

The party afterwards was good, too. I ate eight chicken wings, two pieces of cheesecake and an ice cream. @_@ (I was really, really hungry) We sat around to talked and they WAY people danced to Moscow. n__n

On retrospect I'm glad I didn't wear my skirt - because Sophie was wearing the exact same one. =P (and we all know how embarassing THAT would have been =P) lol.

Basically, it was brilliant. I'm going away and I miss people already. =( This term's been so terrible, it's nice to actually be able to do things with friends without massive dramas etc etc.

Mwahaha, you get two posts tonight. *goes off to write the other one*

I forgot to tape Stargate last night!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

And it was Ripple Effect, too! =( =(

I can't believe it! I was going to put the timer on after my shower but I completely forgot!

Gah. *banghead*

I really wish I didn't have to go to QYO tonight. >< I'll only get to the last hour of Alex's party. How lame! I always have to miss everything because of QYO! And I feel SICK!

New Chrestomanci

Omg. Chrestomanci is out. It's in the library, so it must be.

I NEED THIS BOOK!

=O

We just had fun, chasing a legless lizard out of the house so that Kitty didn't eat it. =P It had tiny little funny legs and it wriggled.

The proper entry

Today we had maths B! I can understand why Katja said it was brilliant...It wasn't, but it almost was. =P The knowledge section was certainly fantastic. I could do it all! I failed modelling and problemsolving again, though. There were four questions at the end and I couldn't solve any of them. I tried to apply what I knew...but nothing worked. ><

( Coffee Club Celebration )

Next week we're going to Sydney!!! I'm so excited! It's been over a year since we went on holidays (...I miss England =( ) and I've never really been to Sydney. It's going to be brilliant. I love my family - they're the best travelling companions. (Except Erin when she gets bored...or Dad and Erin when they start arguing. :fear:) I seriously need something to do besides sitting and feeling miserable.

Ack...I said I could go to Alex's party but I actually can't. I've got QYO. >< I always forget about QYO.

That's it really.

SCHOOL AND EXAMS ARE OVER!

I miss Katja. =(

I'm in a comic!

You should have seen me studying today.

It was brilliant.

I think I only spent about two hours actually studying, because I manged to take a massive lunch break in the middle. Oh well. I have my ancient history essay test tomorrow, which is frightening, and then maths B on thursday, which I was always destined to fail.

So it's alright.

Oh, and Jeremy finished his comic. Remember how I mentioned having a bizarre dream about Katja and Jeremy's maths teacher buying Jam? And remember all those posts that I mentioned Mr Richardson AKA Mr Poncy in? Well, here he is - doing his famous cubic dance and immortalised forever. Oh yeah, and I'm in it too.

The Incredible Mr Poncy

I laughed so hard that I almost choked. n___n You'd know what I mean if you saw him in real life. *giggle*

I miss Katja! There's no one to poke! =(

A lesson on history

Athenian history is odd. Really all they ever did was ostracise people. The ostracised Thermistocles for being anti-Spartan, then they ostracised Xenophon for being pro-Spartan! And they ostracised just about all of their Persian war heroes because they felt bad about not being quite as cool. O__o

I'm surprised that there was anyone LEFT in Athens by the time Pericles came along.

Well, at least they're not as retarded as the Spartans, so they must be ok.

The Spartans had severe paranoia issues.

In fact, they just had issues.

I think I like Peisistratus best. He was a nice tyrant. Pericles was a bit up-himself. Solon was pretty cool. But I personally despise Cleisthenes. Not for any particular reason, but possibly because it took me ages to figure out how to pronounce his name ><

There we go.

All you need to know about Greek history summed up in one LJ entry.

I'm certianly more accurate than Herodotus, anyway. =P

~Claire

PS mmm, history jokes. :fear: (there was this one lesson where we all burst out laughing at something stupid that the Spartans did. It was quite scary @_@)
