Appreciation

I'm frolicking off to camp today. Wish me luck.

Let me not to the marriage of true minds

Admit impediments. Love is not love

Which alters when it alteration finds,

Or bends with the remover to remove:

O no! it is an ever-fixed mark

That looks on tempests and is never shaken;

It is the star to every wandering bark,

Whose Worth's unknown, although his height be taken.

Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks

Within his bending sickle's compass come;

Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,

But bears it out even to the edge of doom:

If this be error and upon me proved,

I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

get a chance, slap him.

who knows how to fix internet?

it keeps 'not responding'

help me? :)

i really LOVED skating

I Just Called To Say

Oh, the pain of subtlety. It is too misleading.

I will not be posting for three days, I leave for camp tomorrow and arrive come Thursday. I'll probably post something horrible tomorrow before I leave in the morning. If I come up with anything interesting to say during camp, I'll post them up here when I get back.

Otherwise, there will be nothing at all.

And you dislike that, don't you?

I wouldn't really know.

did you know that a baby's heartbeat starts when it is 5 weeks in the womb?
and in victoria you are allowed to get an abortion when you are up to 24 weeks pregnant?

i love orange juice with PULP :D

IRN BRU

Today, I bought a can of IRN BRU.

Apart from the very abbreviated name, I think it tastes all right. I expected it to taste more orange-y, well, fanta-y. But it tastes of creaming soda with some weird prevention on the creaming part of it. But, am I going to buy it again? No... It doesn't really take my fancy.

It Will Have To Suffice

Apparently, smiling is not a sufficient amount of acknowledgement.

When I'm walking, and I see someone I know - say, from about five to seven metres away. I see them, they see me. I smile at about the three metre mark, they say hi to me at the half metre mark, which leaves me half a metre's time to say hi back. It's really not enough time, which makes things horribly awkward when I get caught in a "erh-hh--hi--".

It may sound like a very petty rant, but it's a real life issue, guys.

milkshake

i feel like ive had this as my title before...but ill use it again

nevermind

my friend gave me this thing, i can't tell if its an anklet or a bracelet

but it doesnt fit on my ankle so that helps

i swear it is an anklet though

i am so jealous of whoever gets to see this.

please,
if you are reading this
and you pick your nose (and eat it)
don't do it in public
especially not in class sitting opposite me
even if we are on opposite sides of the room
i can still see you
and it's not nice
thank you.

If Tomorrow Never Comes

You check your email, check your other email account and check YouTube, feeds, forums. Logging onto Facebook, you seem to know that you're diving into the Tunnel of Doom. You manage to climb out, half an hour (if not more) or so later. Hey, did you remember to check your other email account? You sift through your dozen email subscriptions and read the ones which you actually can be bothered checking. Your nails are kind of long, you clip them. Maybe file them so you don't scratch yourself, that always sucks. Clutter sucks too, so you clean your desk, find a few mystery items. Your bed, which is permanently unmade...is still unmade. Change is good, so you make it. Fantastic.

Now, you sit down to start doing your homework.

Oh, wait - it's dinner time.

Another time, another time.

In Soviet Russia, blog posts YOU!!

Recently, I found a name to a face, not literally...though.

There's been this semi-internet thing going on for a while now, called the 'Russian reversal'. It's darn awesome, and very addictive to use arbitrarily when you get the hang of it. My goal for the next few weeks is to attempt to spread it around school. But that's like saying you're trying to make a bunch of people who don't like peanut butter, swim in the crunchy stuff.

caramel

i need to practise guitar,
read Jane Eyre,
take some photos,
learn some french,
have a shower,
do geography homework.

but i'm not doing any of it right now.
tomorrow is my only sleep in till saturday :)

Freshen

I have recently discovered that a great air freshener for any place is a minuscule amount of instant coffee paste (instant coffee + little amount of hot water, idiot). I did that (unintentionally), when I decided to paint with coffee (don't ask, or do, I'm secretly hinting to everyone). The disposable cup with coffee paste is still sitting on my desk, releasing the pleasant aroma of coffee. I dare say, it's somewhat, therapeutic.

To be honest, I hate coffee; like most people, I like the smell of it. I'm more of, a tea person.

A three-cup-a-day-if-time-permits type of person.

I steep the teabag,

You grind the beans.

I wait for eleven minutes,

You only three.

Hi Joy,

Sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner, busy times indeed.

Firstly, thanks for the jar. It is on my desk still full of scrolls. A reminder of a great term indeed. Funny you should see Mr Stevens at Kew. I think it would be weird for him too, being at the main school!

To answer your question MM is good. We have just had a stack of rain so it is knee deep green grass at the moment and the creek is really flowing!
Yes I met Ilana last year, I think she was in A1 from memory. If you want to work at MM or banksias for the matter you should make yourself known to Mr Grey and talk about what is involved in a PA role at either campus. I know many people have done that in the past and really enjoyed the experience. It is a great place to work in an amazing environment, I’m sure you would really enjoy it.

Not sure when I am down to come to Melbourne but if you see me around come and say Hi for sure. It’s always good to find out how people are going and see what t hey have been up to!

Hope Year 10 is going well and you are staying out of trouble!

Mr Scorgie

Cheating By Zone

Well, technically...I've 'missed' a day. But it doesn't show up on this blog because the times have not been changed (thanks to Joy). It's 12:17am. So yep. I'm very tired. My room smells like coffee, please ask why.

A Cordial Guide: To Make Other People Hate You (And Indulge In Light Narcissism)

1) Be friendly, but rather reserved. Refuse to share any information about yourself.

2) Introduce light sarcasm, use it at appropiate times to humiliate others.

3) Start to act condescending, remember, you matter more than others.

4) Are you listening to other people? You're not. It doesn't matter if you're not, because nobody else's opinion really does matter.

5) Come across as slightly incapable, only for people to find that you are actually, more than capable.

6) Act friendly again. It confuses people and they feel bad for being judgemental.

Clear The Way

I am attempting to get today's post out of the way, I have to do art research. The sad truth is that I've actually had two weeks to research one artist, but bad time management has resulted in: me, sitting in my room, trying to finish this research. Hm. Yes. That's all, really. I should go and start...now.

Wisdom of the day: "If it all becomes too much, go and surf the internet."

SORRY

i forgot to blog yesterday :(
so that means 2 today
sorryyyyy but i went to bed at 8 cause i was super tired
and yeah.
maths is fun cause we are doing revision

My Love, My New...Toy

Today, I picked up my new toy from the shop. Some people have them, some people don't. Some people don't really need a use for them, and find them a bit too large and heavy to carry around.

I guess that they don't comply with everyone's preference. I had a smaller one for two years before I decided to upgrade to a bigger, more expensive one. I even have to buy a bigger bag to carry it all in.

It has 15 mega pixels (they don't matter), and a beefy amount of low light performance.

I present, the Canon 50D.

Apologies/Non-Apologies/Unicorns

Hey stranger/non-stranger/reader,

I'm sorry about yesterday's post. I wish there was some form of plausible excuse for a post of such low standard. Or some really funny and exciting story. Obviously, not. I happened to suck at managing my time, leaving myself ten seconds before bedtime to write a post.

I suppose that I could try to make it up by doing something nice, but there's nothing I can really think of.

So here's a heart - <3.

This is the only occasion in the history of Brigitte (19?? - 20??) you'll ever see me use less than three. There, a monumental moment in history.

Just for you.

no such thing

apparently this fixes everything.

do cold showers make you sick?

Argh.

it's californication

it's magic.

Absent-Mindedly Writing..

Apart from Valentine's Day, today also happens to be the first day of Chinese New Year.. It feels just like Christmas, just without that itching anticipation....Not that Christmas really holds so much anticipation anymore, it's the growingupprocess, I think.

Chinese New Year (to me) means money, food and lots of little superstitions which don't mean anything but are followed anyway. It's good. I did nothing today, apart from eat, sleep and sing(star). Woohoo. I think that I've damaged my vocal chords by singing an octave too low. Everything seems to decline in traditional-ness each year.

Congratulations for reading through this little rant of mine. Not really a rant, but, yeah.

...

But I'm happy, really happy.

Just because it's valentines day

5 things I don't want in love

1. Proposal on valentines day. too cheesy, too chiché

2. Beach wedding. they are for beach lovers. i'm neutral

3. Big fancy $10000000000 wedding. cause i know i can't anyway

4. Roses with thorns. ouch

5. Lots of fights, but it's supposedly 'passion' and 'we are in love'. that only works in movies. i hate fights :)

UCHOOSE40

Today, my cousins and I were watching UChoose40. It's a show which has a theme, and 40 songs to go along with it. This week's theme was 'greatest love songs'. So, we decided to write ten songs each and bet to see who got the most right. My list:

Brigitte's Psychic Predictions For Fun

1. Extreme - More Than Words

2. Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse of the Heart

3. Air Supply - All Out Of Love

4. Aerosmith - I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing

5. Joe Cocker - You Are So Beautiful

6. Boyz II Men - I'll Make Love To You

7. Sixpence None The Richer - Kiss Me

8. The Exponents - Why Does Love Do This To Me

9. The Beatles - P.S. I Love You

10. Cardigans - Lovefool

In this case, I was pretty annoyed. I liked my list. I lost, by the way,

Cousin #1 - 3, Cousin #2 - 3, Me - 2.

The number one song was Marvin Gaye - Let's Get It On...

Argh, I knew that.

im just a bit worried

i burnt my carpet today :/ scariest thing ever.

i was taking photos of a candle and stuff for photography, then i decided to take a photo of burning paper...just..because. so i lit the paper then held it so the flames were at the bottom, then WOOSH up goes the fire and its nearly touching my hand. cant blow it out so i go AHH and theres nowhere to chuck the paper except onto the floor. then i try blowing it out, it does but starts back again, blow it again, starts burning again but only a little so i bang my english textbook onto it and that puts out the fire.

i took this today... its meant to be 'still life' for some photography assignment but yeahh

OMG GUESS WHAT I JUST REALISED
CARPET BURN
:D
HAHAHAHAHA

Compulsive Clipping

This horrid mind blank seems to occur everyday. There's nothing to say. Argh.

---

Okay. I have distracted myself for two minutes by clipping my nails. It has become a compulsive habit (once per two days). Let's hear about my day, because nothing else has really occurred since yesterday. I went to the museum today, on a field trip (that sounds so American) for art. It was nice, hours on end of drawing Maori wind instruments. Just then, I watched 'The Devil Wears Prada', it was actually nothing like what I thought it'd be. Funny that.

I'm a real big fan of yours

Yesterday there was the tip of a colouring pencil (orange) in my shower...no idea how it got there.

Well I would write but honestly I have nothing to say

You know those people that can make any conversation not awkward?
Yeah I wish I could be like that

If I get a girl dog I will call her Lou.

I had a really weird dream about naked people...and that sounds bad when I type it but that's all I remember from the dream. There was this man, his ex wife (she wasn't naked though) and his current wife/girlfriend. And she had a man body like full on shoulders and muscles and everything so it was basically a man's chest with fake boobs stuck on top. And they actually looked like fake boobs they were a different colour to her skin and REALLY tiny like lemon size. But she had a pretty face. And they were cute together.
.....They were hugging

Twelve Key Points For Today's Lesson

It honestly feels like one of those days. What did I do today?

Let's describe it in 12 words:

Bird watching. Options resolved.
Monochromaticism. Office discoveries.
Prolonged thinking. Mathematical slave driving.

Oh so ambiguous. I bet you're itching to know more.
(I bet you counted just to make sure).

in a saltwater room

ok so i am sitting there eating dinner and the weirdest thought comes to me
'is there any actual research done which says girls who play with barbies are more likely to have low self esteem and body image problems when they're older?'
google it kiddos. and tell me
:)

so tell me darling do you wish we'd fall in love? yeah all the time

that has got to be the best song on that album.

i get around 8 hours of sleep each night but im still tired. why is that?

Binary Is A Sport

Hey. Come close, closer...I'll let you in on a little secret. Roughly, at some stupid time in the morning, about a month ago - I discovered that the 10th of October, this year is...42 Day.

Ok, let's predict the reactions of some of you:

x: "Oh! That's absolutely genius!"

y: "Huh?"

z: "..."

I shouldn't have chosen x, y and z. I'm horribly numercist, aren't I?

I'm rather happy if you're x, but I suspect that quite a few won't be. The 10th of October happens to be 10/10/10 (cue some ahhhh's). 101010 = 42 in binary. Yes? Yay!

I've been a bit odd today, so my thoughts are uncomfortably scattered.

Fridge. Pigeon. We're all happpeeeeeeee.

This is going to be international.

I can strikeout, I bet some of you can’t!

i (L) sex

My laptop is quite annoying. It will randomly go back a page and I can't work out how to stop it.

ahh...i just remembered some other photos i lost when my laptop got all wiped out

but no one will care so i won't say it.

i don't love sex by the way

well i wouldn't know

:)

not writing much today cause i have HEAPS of homework. it kinda sucks.

Insecurities

There are dozens (I didn't say thousands, because that would be exaggerating and no one likes that) of topics that I could rant and rave about in this blog. I don't do that because:

a) I lose my train of thought easily.

b) I doubt my writing skill, a lot.

c) There's always a c), isn't there?

I mean, people are going to be reading this. People, with opinions who could come and argue with me. But I can't really say much with four five followers (+ lurkers). I'm going to be judged, for my opinions as well as my articulacy. The fear makes me want to crawl into a whole and hide with my own thoughts, which I may as well do anyway. Maybe, in the next three hundred and forty days, I'll crawl out of that hole and attempt to communicate with the real world (not even close there, Brigitte).

rowing IS a sport

I would write about my day.. but that's boring.

I steal pictures from tumblr.

ps. I am still trying to do things that scare me but it's quite hard to scare yourself on a daily basis.
The other day I went up and down escalators without holding onto the hand rail?
And ummm had a regatta and they scare me more and more each time... which isn't meant to happen but oh well

Purple dinosaurs rock
(no they stone)

QUESTION: how do you do strikeout on these blogs?

Now I'm just babbling

See I don't actually think I'm scared of anything :/
I'm scared of doing stuff I guess but not actual things like spiders or clowns
except the really hairy spiders
Actually clock ticking kind of scares me sometimes when it's really quiet and that's all you hear

That's all folks.

My Homework For Today

• Health - Page 11
• Finish Valentine poem questions.
• Finish Mean Time poem questions.
• Update science workbook.

• Get student contract for art.
• Hand in form for art stationery.

• Save the world. No, not really. I don't feel the need.

2012

I think the world will end in 2012. I think a big bunch of terrorists (but I'd call them angels) will blow up every city in the world. And all the people will die feeling no pain and just a second of regret. Afterwards there will be no buildings or cars or machines, and nothing to pollute the earth anymore. The only survivors will be the people still in mud huts and jungles, living off the land, and isolated from the rest of the world. And they will keep living because they haven't done anything wrong.

So I plan to be in one of those places when 2012 happens.

Things Aren't Exactly Coherent

INT. BRIGITTE'S DESK

Brigitte is playing with Celtx, that script writing software she found in the summer holidays. She doesn't call the summer holidays, the 'summer holidays'. They're the term 4 holidays, goddammit.

BRIGITTE (V.0.)

Argh. I really can't think of anything to write.

Brigitte rubs her eyes, her contacts are crying at her to come out and rest in their liquid filled case.

BRIGITTE (V.0.)

This is stupid. I need to think of something to write. I want to shower, and sleep.

She continues this script, but contemplates posting this as a blog, since it's a very, very cliched idea to be playing around with.

BRIGITTE (V.0.)

(scratching ear)

I don't know. I may as well end it here.

INT. BRIGITTE'S ROOM

Suddenly, Brigitte's archenemy, Captain Awkward bursts through her door.

BRIGITTE

What? How? Argh. How did you get in here, Captain Awkward?

Captain Awkward

The same way you did. The front door.

BRIGITTE

Who let you in?

CAPTAIN AWKWARD

Your mother did. Remember, I'm your alter ego.

BRIGITTE

Since when?

CAPTAIN AWKWARD

Since last year. You wanted a nicer nickname for yourself than 'Brig'.

BRIGITTE

Yeah. But-

CAPTAIN AWKWARD

Okay. I think that I've extended the script enough.

BRIGITTE

Sigh.

Valium

I've been meaning to do this for a long time....

but every time I go to write a blog post my mind just goes blank

it's quite annoying

cause I think of all this really cool stuff during the day

but now I've forgotten it all.

But I remember this now

Brooke Healey:

You're amazing

and I love you.

And this is pretty cool also

Good Things Come (Eventually)

My neighbours are noisy,

I'm attempting to learn jazz piano.

My eyes are sore,

I'm attempting to write a blog entry.

You're liked (by me) for reading this,

But in an anonymous-stranger-friendly way.

You're probably freaked out right now,

But in a gosh-that's-odd way.

The neighbours are getting really noisy,

Sounds of bottles clinking.

The idea of this is wearing out,

Sounds like time to end.

warm up

If there was someone in your life

who treated you the way you treat yourself,

you would have gotten rid of them

A long time ago.

Passing Glance

Look past, two seconds,

Of the dreaded passing glance,

Ah, please help me, stare.

what are you doing? waiting.

okay every single time i write a post i type in the title then click enter and it posts the whole thing, so i have to go back and edit it.
but whatever.

today i called up some place that gave food to hungry people to see if i could volunteer.
me: hi im calling about volunteering
bitchface: ok. volunteer?
me: yeah
bitchface: well you need to send me an email. the email adress is ...
me: oh i have it here. but im 15 is that okay?
bitchface: 15 no thats too young. bye.
me: bye :

and it all sounded really mean and i was like awww i just wanted to help

I'm, Not, A Lyrics Person

Slip into your skin and spend the night
And get out mine
Walking the streets in dark
Where lamps are the sunshine for the trees
Oh for the trees

Cause everybody needs somebody
To hold them down
Oh everybody needs somebody
To hold them down
When your feet are leaving the ground
Leaving the ground
Leaving the ground
Leaving the ground

Be the blanket for my bones
Be a place that I call home
Slipped into your skin and spent the night
Cause I feel like a different man
I feel it when I’m with you
When I’m with you
When I’m with you
When I’m with you

It's raining.

I went over to my old dancing school to get my Duke of Ed book signed.
Wasn't scary one bit.
But I thought it might be so it counts.

private lawns and public parks

I think I'm going to try that for a week, 2 weeks, a month.... whenever I feel like I've done it properly.

And also because it means I get something to write about everyday.

This afternoon, I was such a perfect little nerd and finished all my homework for today and tomorrow :)

1. I have Google Wave invites. Do you want one? I have plenty. Unless you have one already. Don't be shy.
