Mod ?

If I had the choice, I wouldn't raise my voice
I would be normal but extraordinary.
l don't want to say, The things I have to say yeah
I don't wanna say things ordinary.
This may put a smile on my face, time and time again.
Reach into my mouth rip out my tongue, There's my only friend.
Now I cannot talk,
These words are only thoughts
Taken down from my head to paper,
Written down for thee,
Banning also me,
we'll rehearse it and play it later.
This may put a smile on my face, time and time again.
Without words I'm lost for things to say, I want back my best friend.
Barnicles and stripes,
Barnicles and stripes.
These two words are normal but extraordinary,
Together mean nothing like tugboats and hairy.
This may put a smile on my face, time and time again.
Reach into my throat pull out my tongue,
There's my only friend.
Hear me, Hear me,
Barnicles and stripes,
Barnicles and stripes.

Barnicles and Stripes, Something with Numbers.

I have a long running obsession with Something with Numbers.
They're coming to town and I'm going with Rachel. I'm excited. Specially coz I missed out on seeing them at the Big Day out. Yep.

I don't usually write a blog two days after I've just posted one but I need to vent. I'll try and keep it short.
EVERYONE READ MY OTHER RECENT BLOG TOO PLEASE.
I PUT EFFORT INTO THAT ONE. IT HAS PRETTY PICTURES.

Ok so venting session -
I seem to have the inate ability to piss almost everyone (friends and family and co-workers included) in my life off lately, for many various reasons.
Worst part is, most of the time I don't even mean to, or worse, don't even know I'm doing it.
I don't mean to annoy everyone. I really don't.
I feel terrible for pissing people off and I don't mean to.
And I feel even more terrible knowing I've pissed people off and have been totally oblivious to it.
I DON'T MEAN TO ANNOY PEOPLE. ALOT OF PEOPLE SEEM TO BE GETTING MAD AT ME AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW I'VE ANNOYED THEM.
I'm not a horrible person, really. I'm not.
I'm sorry.
- End of vent session.

And, one other thing which is neither positive nor negative but I wanna write about it anyway. I got called "mod" today with work.
Not punk or emo or scene or indie. Mod.
It all started coz I got my nose pierced on monday, right, and I went to work today and everyone there had never seen me with my new nose piercing, but no one even mentioned it, at all.
Dunno if people just noticed and weren't sure if it was new or just didn't notice but either way no one said anything.
Then, like 3 hours into my shift at work, one of the nurses stops me when I'm mopping and points to my nose and goes "Is that new?"
Me: "Yeah, I got it done monday." (Secretly thinking, "Omg someone actually noticed!")
Her: "Yeah, I saw it and wasn't sure if you'd always had it or not." Now, this co-worker is the one and only person who's been at work the entire time I've been there, as in, everyone else's come and gone and she and I are the only originals left, right, so she's known me for THREE YEARS. And yet, she sees me with a new nose piercing and thinks I've had it the entire time. Lollollol. I guess it just seems like something I would have? Or something that suits me? I don't know.
The person who noticed and said all this then made me stand still while she COUNTED how many peircings I have, was rather alarmed that I now have a grand total of 8, and then was like: "Well, you're very mod then arn't you, with all your peircings!"
I'm like: "Oh.. ok.. thankyou?"
So apparently now I'm labelled as "mod".

The end.
Read my other recent blog.

Awesomeawesomeawesome.

AWESOME.
EVERYTHING (WELL, ALMOST EVERYTHING...) IS AWESOME RIGHT NOW.

Gonna try and keep this blog short, but things are good right now and I always ramble regardless of how I'm feeling about the world so we'll see how this goes. Lol.

REASONS WHY THINGS ARE (MOSTLY) AWESOME:

- Got my nose pierced yesterday. Woo!
- FINISHED SEMESTER ONE OF UNI YESTERDAY. BEST FEELING EVERRRRR. I survived my first semester of uni! It was SO STRESSFUL.
- I got my marks back for some of my assignments, I did really well :D I GOT A DISTINCTION FOR VISUAL ART! YESSSS! I'm proud of myself.
- Things are generally just good as of yesterday and today.
- I'm on Uni hols!!! I don't have any classes until the 21st of July!

- I got LOADS of new cds like 2 weeks ago and I'm still getting through them all. New music is great. Trial Kennedy. Tegan and Sara. The Ting Tings. Death Cab for Cutie. Sparkadia and White Rabbits. LOVELOVELOVE.
- New episode of Gossip Girl on tv tonight! My mate's coming over, we're gonna watch it together. We have a tradition of her coming over tuesdays and us watching Gossip Girl together. Makes me feel girly lol.
- I'm not working much this week, which is bad for my bank account but good for my social life. Hehe.
- Today I dyed my friend's hair. Yess. She's cute. She sleptover last night aaaand I convinced her to watch my Molly Ringwald movies - we watched Sixteen Candles and then Pretty in Pink. Oh Molly Ringwald, you're so greaaat.
- After dropping that friend off, I went and got the train and caught up with a different friend. We ate pizza and gelati and brownines and apple turn overs. We hit up the Valley in search of decent food and then walked all the yay to New Farm in search of a gelati shop. I got mango gelati and the nice lady gave me a scoop of starwberry for free! There's a pciture of it to the left of this text. It was such good gelati. Haha. Then we walked back to the Valley, got various foods, looked in alllll the Asian suoermarekts II bought Hello Panda biscuts!) and then got the train to the city. THEN we ran into another mate of ours and the three of us looked at cds and stuff. Woooo. The two photos at the bottom blog are ones I took on my mobile phone (lol) whilst we were wandering through New Farm.

I'M FINALLY STARTING TO MORE POSITIVE ABOUT MY LIFE IN GENERAL.

Ok yeah.
So I'm excited about things.
Woooo!

I dunno what else to say.
Things are pretty good compared to the last few weeks which have been rather dismal.

Yesterday was just so good I could hardly contain myself. Like, wow.
I'm done with semester one of Uni. I can't believe I survived. And, even better, I'm on holidays now! HOLIDAYS!
Fingers crossed I pass everything!

I'm gonna leave this blog here I think.
Wooo.
Too excited. Too much to doo.

BYEEEEE.
<3

Too much to do

They tell me that you're doing fine.
But I wish had the time,
to get through to you.
But all I can do is give you some space
to chase someone else to be the sun, sitting in your little sky.

Too much to do and there's not enough time, not enough time.

Walking past your place the other day, I wish that I could stay
for a little while or more. But there's places to go and people to see.
Time runs away so easily it never waits for me.

Too much to do and there's not enough time, not enough time.

I told her all of this too late she looked me up and down,
and turned to walk away.
With time we'll both know,
that it's best we both go.
Before the night becomes the day
and there's nothing more to say

Too much to do and there's not enough time, not enough time.

Oh how I loooove that song.

ANOTHER EXCITING EDITION OF THE LOUCHASY CHRONICLES...

So yes, long time no blog, I know.
Sam, you can stop bugging me about writing a new blog now, coz here it is - my new blog, read it and enjoy it and stop bitching. Haha.

So, alot's happened since I last wrote a blog.
Same old same old really, just been uber busy with uni and work and concerts and social life stuffs.

Finally got to go to the Kisschasy concerts I've been waiting for! They were both wonderful. Best nights everrr.
I was in the second row, centre for the 18+ show and FRONT ROW, left side for the AA show. FANTASTIC.Aaaaaand during the AA show Karl (drummer of Kisschasy) threw one of his sticks into the audience. I caught one of end it, some other girl caught the other end.
I was both excited and annoyed coz I didn't wanna let go of that drum stick. Just before things were about to get nasty with pushing and showing and me considering yelling: "I GAURENTEE I LOVE KISSCHASY MORE THAN YOU!" at the girl who caught the other end of the stick, my mate Ree was like: "SNAP IT IN HALF!"
So we did. I then moshed for the rest of the show with half a drum stick in my hand. AND ZOMFG I GOT THE WHOLE BAND TO INDIVIDUALLY SIGN IT AFTER THE SHOW.
I WAS THE HAPPIEST GIRL ALIVE.I bought a cool new Kisschasy shirt tooooo <3And loads of my mates were at the AA show, which was rad. And James and I had fun at the 18+ show. And The Donnas and The Getaway Plan were rad support bands.
I love Kisschasy alot alot alot. I love photographying them too. I'm rather proud of my photos.


















Annnd then there was the Repeat Offender/Avalon Drive show the saturday after that, and then the Steven Childs/Nina May show last weekend. So great.
So, so, so great.
I had a wholeeeee herd of friends at the RO/NM gig. Fan-freaking-tastic :D
Took a few nice photos too. Ohhhhh how I love photography! :)


















Apart from that things are fairly dull.
Working lots at work.
I'm drowning in uni assignments. They're all due on the 10th and 16th of June. Ack. That's like 5 days away.
I'll be ok.
I hope.
I should be doing stuff right now but I really just felt like blogging and when I get an urge like that I just gotta run with it coz I don't get them all the time lolll.

EXCITING! I got 6 new cds on monday - Sparkadia's "Postcards", Tegan and Sara's "The Business of Art", White Rabbits' "Fort nightly", The Ting Tings' "We Started Nothing", Trial Kennedy's "New Manic Art" aaaaaand Death Cab for Cutie's "You can play these songs with chords" I bought 4 of them, my mate bought the other two.
I'm now broke. Basically. Haha.
Broke but happily drowning in loads of newwwwww music.
Cd shopping with my best mate is raddd. I loves her. She's my boonana queen.

I also got another piercing on monday - the cartlidge in my right ear, to match my left ear haha. I've now got 7 in total - 4 in my left ear, 3 in my right ear. Haha. Yep. Nose is next.

Totally random thought, but you know what I hate? I HATE HOW IT GETS DARK SO EARLY IN WINTER. Like, it's only just 5:30pm and it's pitch black outside. Argh.

AND SOMETHING REALLY AWESOME AND SUPER COOL - I'M ON UNI HOLIDAYS FROM NOW UNTIL THE 21ST OF JULY. Heck yess.
I've got plans for the holidays too - Going to the Sunshine Coast for 4 days, Bundaberg for 5 days and Sydney for 2 or 3 days.
I cannot wait to get of Brisbane. I'm so sick of everything right now.
So yes, very excited for the holidays and the fact that I actually have proper plans to get outta here for a bit.
I'm also gonna be working loads of extra hours at the vet. It'll be good. My boss got all excited when I said I could work extra hours coz we're extremely understaffed at the moment, like we usually have 9 nurses, and currently we have like.. 5, 3 of which arn't full time. So yes, my boss was excited when I offered to do extra hours over the uni hols. I need the money too, so everyone wins haha.

I think that's about it for now.
Alot on my mind.
Alot of assignments (I've got 8) to do.
Not much time for sleeping.
I make time for fun social stuffs and work though. Haha.

I've got my timetable for semester two of uni sorted out and I'm really happy with it. Mondays 3 - 5pm, wednesdays 10am - 6pm and fridays 9am - 3pm. Pretty rad.

I handed in some of my Communication Design stuff today. It's all on exhibition at Uni now. Looked pretty cool to see everyone's assignments up on the walls. Mine's the on the left in the top photo - that's my packaging for my product. The bottom photo is my advertising for my product. Woooooo.

















Yep.
I'll stop blogging nowwww.
Until next time, peace outtttt. Lol.
I wish more people read my silly blogs.

This blog is really long. Oops.
The formatting's gonna be retarded when I publish this. Argh. Stupid lame blogger formatting.
