Reading, Viewing, Gaming

Most of my day was spent reading the CSI book Double Dealer. I have so many books to read before the 11th it's crazy. I got a bit behind during Christmas and New Years...

I watched Father of the Bride: Part II. It isn't a good as the first one, but it was watchable.

I played a game of multiplayer Sonic and The Secret Rings on the Wii with Stephen. We turned the difficulty of the bots to hard and we got pwned...

Surprise!

Yesterday, John and I surprised Lauren by bring Chris over with us to her house. She was so shocked that she squealed and gave Chris the biggest hug. She was so happy and had the biggest smile on her face; something that I haven't seen in a long time. We sat around for awhile while we decided what we were going to do for the day and as we did, we watched Tom and Jerry on Foxtel.

We ended up deciding that we wanted to go watch "I Am Legend" at Warwick. Lauren drove us and she put in her party mix CD and started singing along to songs that John and Chris didn't really like. We went into Coles to get some snacks to bring into the movies instead of buying the overpriced food at The Candy Bar. The movie was quite popular, as they put us all in the Mega Stadium and it was quite full. The movie itself was quite suspenseful and things jumped out of no where. There was one scene where Will Smith's character was walking through a dark hall holding a gun and this guy to the right of me screamed out stupidly, "Watch out!" That broke the suspense.

We then went back to Lauren's house and the others went for a swim. After a while, Lauren came and sat with me and we had a really good chat.

At 7:30pm, I turned up for Blair's 18th birthday party at Hogsbreath. I and a few of the guys turned up before her. She looked quite pretty with her hair in curls and wearing a black dress. She really brought colour to the party, literally, as she brought in blue and white helium balloons and napkins to replace the Hogsbreath ones. I knew everyone there except for two girls who were Blair's childhood friends. The food was pretty good, but I was disappointed that they have taken my favourite meal off the menu. B;air had brought an icecream cake as her birthday cake and it was the best one I had tasted. I'm not sure exactly it was made of, but I tasted strawberry sauce. Overall, it was a great party.

And it was a great day with friends.

Busy Bee

Today was not a relaxing day at all. I have been so busy from the time I woke up until right about now and I feel so exhausted.

Firstly, I went to Crystal Reflections at Hillary's Boat Harbour. I had to do a homework task where I had to go and find some jewellery, sketch it and answers questions about it. Mum and I asked the lady at the counter if I could do the task and she had a look on her face that gave off a "that's a strange request" expression. I don't know how long I was in the shop for, because I had to draw three pieces of jewellery. For the whole time I was there, the other customers that walked in gave me strange looks, especially the time when I was sitting on the floor drawing a piece of jewellery that was on the bottom shelf. I sketched two bracelets and a necklace (the necklace gave me quite a lot of ideas of how I could make my necklace I am going to make) which was made out of beautiful amber beads. I still haven't answered the questions, but I will be doing them tomorrow.

Afterwards, we went to The Bead Company in Osbourne Park. I have never seen so my beads and beading accessories in my life. There was such a big range, with many different colours and types (glass, crystal, plastic, wooden, diamante and pearl). Dad and Stephen were getting so bored (they were bored when we walked in because Dad said make it quick) but there was so much to look at and lots of decisions to be made. I chose my colour design from Gustav Klimt's painting "The Kiss", with colours of yellow, orange, white and black. I will be creating a design similar to the necklace in I saw at Crystal Reflections, but I will use aspects from the painting.

When I got home, I had to watch the rest of Schindler's List and start watching The Shawshank Redemption for my Religion essay. I finished both of them, which took up a good four hours of my time. I hadn't watched the end of Schindler's List at school because I was sick, so watching it at home wasn't so boring, but when I went to watch The Shawshank Redemption again, I was getting really bored with it, because we had watched it one and half times in class.

After dinner, I went to go finish my Chemistry assignment with no luck. I was searching on the Internet for some of the things I needed (some of which was very useful!), but most of the time I couldn't find it.

*sigh*
