Prior weekend events

Haven't really been a 'dedicated' blogger so far, with Year 12 homework and what not. Endless readings and revising of Psychology, English, Media and English Language, my head has been bombarded with terminologies which seems to have eliminated my flow of 'creativity'. The only real subject that allows this has been Viscom (visual communication & design), however even that has suppressed it.

It's now, technically, been 2 weeks (tomorrow) into Yr 12. Ahh!! At the moment (despite being trashed with study), I am enjoying this school year far more than last. The buzz amongst everyone, knowing that THIS is their final year has created a socializing explosion.

Last Friday all schools in the state dressed in casual clothes, in order to raise funding for the Victorian Bushfires. The school that I attend is considered an 'alternative school'. Unlike other schools, we aren't required to dress in uniform. SO..we were all told to go in reverse. Every student was asked to dress in their old school uniform, or to borrow a friends. Now, some people were rather skeptical and just showed up in their normal gear. Others took to the opportunity, and went all out with theirs. And the remaining few, were reluctant.

I, was one of those who enthusiastic on the idea. As were most of my friends. So pulling out my old school dress, which had been vandalized as a means of my last day and pushing out the lenses of my 5 dollar market ray bans, it was off to school!! I started at 10:50, however due to slight excitement and summoning the ounce of motivation that dwells within me, I turned up at 9:15. I speant that time in the library, subtly spying on all who were drab and all who were fab. Then came recess, which was where everybody shined. To my discovery a few of the boys managed to borrow either their girlfriends or sisters dresses. A few of which kindly provided themselves with wigs. Another discovery which was predicted by alot of people, were the outfits worn by some of the girl students. It appeared that they had conjured up the sluttiest outfits hanging in their wardrobe, which had SOME school relation..and then cut them to an incomprehendable length. 

All in all though, the day managed to turn out pretty good. Everybody had fun and we managed to raise money for the fires. And just to top off the day Polly (my best mate) Jayo, and I bussed on over to Megs-the after school spot for us girls. We conversed in topics such as school, and boys and the all time regular..body types. So summing up these past almost 2 weeks of school, I am forecasting a kick-ass year!!

Hell On Earth

This blog is very dark. 

So far it's been nearly 6 whole days of Australia's worst natural disaster, ever to be recorded. It began Saturday the seventh of February, reaching a whopping 46 degrees at 2:27pm. This broke the previous record held by 'Black Friday', which climbed to 45.6 degrees on January thirteenth, 1939. Other temperatures around the state reached scorching temperatures like such as 47.2 degrees, which in some countries is in-comprehensive.

Australia is well known for it's sun and bush. During the summer season, this combination it's the perfect breading ground for full blown bushfires. Every Aussie knows about Black Friday and Ash Wednesday as being our country's worst bushfires ever. Yet last Saturday added another name to this notorious list. The media has titled the disaster 'Hell on Earth' which pretty much sums up the trauma that the residents of Kings Lake, Marysville, Whittlesea, Yea and many other rural towns have gone through. 

The death toll has reached just about 200.

Two hundred mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, sons and daughters have all perished. Houses have been lost, including mass amounts of live stock. This is the statistic that has been found on this day. Authorities have barely uncovered the lost lifes, that lay across Victoria. There were few lucky to escape with minimal injuries. Yet some were not so lucky.

I'd just like to let the victims, authorities and volunteers know that all of Australia including myself are thinking of you. I know that sixty million dollars has been donated to the Victorian Bushfire appeal already which is a massive help. Please donate to the Australian Red Cross, and give generously. I am trying to find a way to get down to the Gippsland area to volunteer next weekend. I really cannot express my sadness to this massive loss of lives. My heart aches from the thought of so much destruction and so much chaos.

The Australian spirit will never die, so for every Australian reading this blog...this is the time when we stick together and unite as a country.

R.I.P to all who were lost...

Deflowering my Blog Spot

Whomever may be reading this, I believe we now share a special bond...

you have taken my blog virginity!!

Anywho, I'm here mainly because I stumbled across a bunch of old writings of mine. Reading over a few of them I felt compelled to create a blog. So I already knew about this site through a good friend of mine named Jessio, otherwise known as Jayo .

Going through the process of creating the actual profile/blog itself wasn't very cumbersome at all, however when I came to naming my blog and the website I was stuck in a rut. So what do you do when this happens? You ask your mum! I already had an idea which was jar full of words, which I ran past her and in a cheerfully buoyant manner she agreed.

Well I look forward to sharing possibly the most utter pointless and lame, thoughts and ramblings with you all.

TTFN.
