Short post.

Oh, it's been a week since I last updated.

I blame Indigo.

The week was hectic.

I have made a list:

-Anzac Day.

-Little Turds birthday.

-Bright Autumn festival with the family.

-Indigo slept over.

-I was sleeping.

-Publishing a Skulduggery Fanfiction.

-Tumblr.

Lets start with the largest thing this week.

Anzac day. 

It was the best Anzac Day I have ever experienced/ taken part in.

I enjoyed every single part of it. My favourite part was the Dean Street march and the breakfast my father put on after the dawn service for my family members and friends. What also might have been fun was the fact Indy slept over.

~~~

Lilly's birthday was the day afterwards she had a ball. The end. 

✄-----

I published my first fanfiction that used one of Derek Landy's characters. It is very dark and also very short.

Here is the link to it for those who are curious about reading it: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10293110/1/Down-falls-the-wall

(If you haven't read the Skulduggery Pleasant series you won't understand it and if you have, but aren't up to the end of "Dark Days"/book 4 the fic has major spoilers. Just warnin' ya)

The fanfiction has already had two very kind and very confidence boosting reviews.

✄-----

Today I went to the town of Bright. I had a lovely day and took many awesome photos of the yellowing trees.

Which I can't post on here because they are all on my iPad and I'm too lazy to put them on here. 

✄-----

I really don't know what else to put on this post apart from the fact that I start school on Tuesday. *eyeroll*

I'm so excited.

One thing I did realize is that this blog is read by quite a few family members...Meaning most of my nerdy jokes go straight over their heads...And they won't understand my amusing Sherlock gifs.

✄-----

I'm just going to end this post here...

Word of the day: deciduous, is the term used for trees that lose their leaves.

Signing off for today.

Goats and spelling mistakes...

It has taken me few days to realize that at this moment in time I am obsessed with goats and this gif.

^^So majestic.

Another thing I have realized is that I make bad spelling mistakes. One of my main mistakes is missing the second f from "off". I'm just gonna blame my lazy brain (and Indigo, because I blame everything on Indy). I would like to thank my friend Troy for pointing out the spelling mistakes... Which I still haven't fixed. If you find a spelling mistake please leave a comment.

I also realized that I am a walking encyclopedia on Florence + the machine and Florence Welch. I started spurting out facts about them on my Flo instagram account the other day and someone said "You are such a big fan, I bet you know where they live!" Well no I don't know where they live because that's just creepy and stalker-ish. This time I blame tumblr and Indigo because she was the one who told me I should get one. (Yes Indigo feel special you have been mentioned in nearly all of my blog posts so far.)

I have spent a good percentage of my last two days cleaning my darn room. I am safe to say that I haven't found a single spider yet. Touch wood. 

It's been two days since I have written anything in this post anddddd... I found a cockroach (a baby one, but it was still made of pure evilness). My reaction was "WHY ARE YOU HERE? I DON'T EAT IN HERE?!" Then it briefly met my runners and that was the end of his little sad story. Again, I blame Indy. Case closed.

My friend Emma aka Fig was in a skype call with me a I write the paragraph above and she asked "So you killed it?". I could only reply with "Yeap. Well I couldn't let it run off and make babies so they could make their own little army and crawl up my nose while I sleep." 

I'm pretty sure here face was something along these lines:

At this point of this post I was running out of important things to write because I have spent most of my time this week reading and writing fan fiction. But then I realize... "Oh this weekend is Easter."

What can I say? Oh, it was fun. That was Tessa's Easter for 2014. The end.

Ooooh something big hat happened the other day was Skulduggery Pleasant; book 9 title release.

The title is "The dying of the light"

I don't know what that means but I have manged to translate a bit so far: death, death and more death.

I have found a few gifs that describe the fandom of Skulduggery Pleasants state at the moment (on tumblr):

I have to thank Indy on this occasion for her continuous refreshing of Mr Landys blog so we could find the title.

There is nothing quite like the satisfaction of updating your tumblr and feeling happy with it. Even if it took you 2-3 hours to do it. Not including the amount of time it took me to understand coding. Such a tedious task.

For those who are curious this was the finishing result:

Do ya like it? I'm sah proud. Mine doesn't have music that makes you jump playing on it though, I don't leave traps for the victims... I mean followers ❁◕ ‿ ◕❁. Unlike Mellanie, who makes stalking her page hard. 

Imma end this post here cos I have minecraft that needs playing and chocolate that needs eating.

Word of the day: armada, a fleet of warships.

Presenting... gifs!

Today is Saturday meaning... sleeeeep in!

It's such a nice feeling sleeping in and actually feeling like you had a good amount of sleep so you won't become a zombie. 

\ (•◡•) /  Gosh, I love that little character so much.

But there is one problem with holidays... boredom. You begin to miss the constant nagging of neglected homework or the constant nagging of your neglected room that yearns to be clean once again. The boredom builds up until you must clean your room for something to do. May be I should take a note out of Sherlock Holmes book and start shooting smiley faces into the wall. But I'm pretty sure my parents would kill me. D: 

Speaking of Sherlock I found out how to put gifs on my blog! I am now ready to rule the world with my gifs. I am unstoppable. 

❁◕ ‿◕❁ 

I have surprised myself by not playing Minecraft today. It has been my addiction again for the last 3-4 weeks. But I have been facebooking, writing fan fiction and reading. Nothing really out of the norm here.

I write fan fiction for the Skulduggery Pleasant fandom. But I don't use the characters. I make my own and use my friends characters but base it in the Skulduggery universe. My main character is Oblivion Sanctum who is a necromancer who wears a great coat (trench coat). My friends characters are Amelabel Baine who is a sensitive and Luki Hawang who uses special symbols. We are still working out the name for the symbolism power because its not specified in the book. Maybe I should tweet Derek Landy and ask him.

o==[]::::::::::::::::>

I though I might share this gif parody of "Do you want to build a snowman?" from the film "Frozen" with you:

Did it make you laugh? It made me laugh! :3 

o==[]::::::::::::::::>

On that note I think I am going to end that post here because I have lost my train of thought for this post. 

Word of the day: pluvial, of or pertaining to rain; rainy.

4 in 1

I'm going to start this blog post of with something different. I am going to start it with my poem I wrote in english a week ago (well I think it was a week ago, how time flies when you are too ignorant to pay attention). ٩(̃-̮̮̃-)۶

The soft autumn breeze blows through the bare trees,

carrying with it the dancing leaves,

carrying with it the eerie requiem of the vacant trees,

carrying with it the cheerful birdsong with the merry tune. 

 Ƹ̴Ӂ̴Ʒ

It is day three/four/five/six of blogging my daily life!

I kept running out of time over the last four days to write a post so I am going to write an extra long one. 

~~~

I have a big announcement!

I don't have any homework due at this moment in time. First time in 4 weeks! FOUR WEEKS.

Are you excited? I'm excited. I can finally sit at home and do... nothing. Absolutely nothing. Because what is better than doing nothing (apart from unicorns, the next installment of a good book series and goats)?

Speaking of book series. I am currently reading this book: 

Great book so far. It has taken me a term to get really into it. Only because it was slow by my standards and I only had about 10 minutes a day to read it and I was to lazy to take it out of my school bag to read at home. 

Before you start to wonder, Potter-heads. No this book is not based of the JK Rowling character, the guy who had procession of the philosophers stone before Dumbledore did.

It is in fact based off a real guy. Who was not an alchemist. But was still very famous and very rich.

"Nicolas Flamel (French: [nikɔla flamɛl]; prob. Pontoise, ca 1330 – Paris, March 22, 1418) was a successful French scrivener and manuscript-seller. After his death Flamel developed a reputation as an alchemist. However, these legendary accounts only appeared in the seventeenth century." Credit to wikipedia for that paragraph. But he did in fact marry Perenelle like most stories say he did. It was rumoured that she was also an alchemist but... she wasn't.

Want more info? Read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolas_Flamel <-- Quite interesting.

One character in that book that really interested me was the Morrigan. Also known as the "phantom queen" or "great queen" in mythology. In the book she is referred to as "The Crow Goddess". How Micheal Scott describes her is very interesting. I really like how she wears a cloak made of crow feather. But that kind of stuff interests me. Shes border line sarcastic. So she gets my stamp of approval. 

Ƹ̴Ӂ̴Ʒ

Uh, don't you love rain? Especially consistent rain and when it gets your sport canceled so that you have to sit in a class room and watch "Hunger Games: Catching Fire"?

But what really made my day was this youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxiSP_ch_oI

It's called "Animal Beatbox" it was the 2011 Tropfest winner and it is simply the bomb.

 Ƹ̴Ӂ̴Ʒ

Do I have any friends in the Sherlock and Doctor Who fandoms? If you do you should totally watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iae-kvXu0k8

Thank you grapefruit for showing it to me.

Ƹ̴Ӂ̴Ʒ

I have decided today was a good day! Why you ask? 

a) It's Friday.

b) The holidays have started!

c) We watched interesting movies today. Something different from the Disneys that we always watch (please note I have nothing against Disney, but the same movies repeated over and over gets really really boring). 

We watched... gimme a sec I just realized I haven't changed my calender to April.

Right! We watched "Warm Bodies" and "the Book Thief". 

From what I saw of the they were both GREAT.

First of all lets talk about "Warm Bodies". Two words to describe it: zombie romance. Literally zombie romance. Romeo and Juliet style. You might think "Ew, why would you make such a monstrosity?" because that was my first thought. That's until the zombie-guys commentary came on. It had me within the first fifteen lines. "I can't remeber who I was. But from my hoodie I can tell I was unemployed." Unfortunately I only got about half way through until the lunch bell rang. It was one of those rare moments where I didn't want it to go. 

My agriculture teacher surprised us today by allowing us to watch a movie and that movie was "the Book Thief". It had me when I found out that Geoffrey Rush was in it. ٩(•̮̮̃-̃)۶

Ƹ̴Ӂ̴Ʒ

RANDOM SPACE CATS. Isn't it glorious?

These guys are my strange addiction at the moment. Don't judge meh.

Well my brain has finally has stopped functioning and I am going to end it here.

Word of the day: swagger, to walk or strut in a defiant and insolent air.

Signing off for today (and the other days I missed).

(っ◔◡◔)っ Baby chickens and surprises!

Today is the 7th of April and it's a Monday, yay. (╥﹏╥)

~~~

It started as a fairly average day. My usual routine. Mum wakes me up, takes about 6 calls before I stumble out of bed and I blindly get dressed because my eyes aren't functioning properly. 

I get to school greet my friends, sit and listen to a boring assembly, head off to roll-call and go to my first class. Give me a second I'm trying to remember what that was... right! Science. :3

After a short science class on the bodies senses and the short walk I found my self at my careers class. Don't you hate forgetting your password? I sat there for a while trying all my passwords only to find out I spelt my username wrong. 

By that stage I wanted to flip my table.(ᕗ ಠ益ರೃ)ᕗ ┬━┬ 

I don't think I could have gotten to recess faster than what I did today. 

But my day was picked up by my next class... agriculture! Do you know what made that subject even better? BABY CHICKENS. So I went from ☜(˚▽˚)☞ to ☜(*▽*)☞.

But the announcement of the baby chickens was quickly followed by "You also have a topic test tomorrow." *cracks party popper* SURPRISE!

But all in all it should be fairly easy. The baby chicken were so fluffy I was going to die.

We weeded our veggie plots. My friends found out the hard way that stinging nettle season is upon us. That is if stinging nettles even have seasons they grow in. *Looks stinking nettle seasons up* Couldn't find anything. But I did find that stinging nettles grow in soils that have been recently disturbed and have high fertility. So you could say that explains the sudden increase of nettle sprouts. The more you know! 

Agriculture was followed by lunch which was followed by art! We also got a large surprise there as well. Our teacher actually SMILED. This is a break through people! We enjoyed it while it lasted. (✿◠‿◠)

After that enjoyable lesson we had second recess. You can tell Autumn has arrived not because of the fact that my english teacher is making us write autumn themed poems but because the trees are dropping their leaves which allows us to have leaf fights! But then the teacher on duty catches you as you are about to shove a handful of damp soggy leaves down your mates top. (︺︹︺)

The day ended with maths. Great fun! Not much to say about maths apart from the fact that I had HIAMs "Falling" on repeat. 

~~~

Well I have studying and homework that needs to be done.

Word of the day: vindictive, to seek revenge.

Procrastinating... procrastinating...oh and an introduction.

Lets start my blog off with something interesting!

Did you know that the hummingbird is the only bird that can fly backwards?!

(Cinnamon hummingbird)

You could say that's an introduction to my crazy mind. I have a large obsession with random facts and quotes. I just love 'em! 

I made this blog to write about my day to day life. I wanted to make it interesting because when people hear the word teenager they immediately think phones, boyfriends, gossip or Justin Bieber. Well no, that ain't me. At all. 

My name is Tessa and I'm an Australian teenager who has an obsession with writing and reading. I love to write because its my way of showing people how I see and imagine things. 

Bored? Lets get on with it then! 

\ (•◡•) /

Well today is the 6th of April, it's a Sunday... meaning homework catch up day! Yay... not. It's actually a more quite Sunday for me no large assignments only a small Geography assignment that won't take me very long. I think I'm just going to wait until later tonight to do it... a hour before I go to bed. Cos that's the way to go. Procrastination at its best. Speaking of doing things late I had a Romeo and Juliet assignment due recently and I had forgotten about it until the night before it was due. It was also quite a large assignment so it kept me up until 1am. I realized it was probably pitiful. The day came where we got our marks back for it...I was like to my friend "I'm so dead. He's going to off his nut." Safe to say I came equal first with a few others with 49/50. My proudest achievement this year. (ง'̀-'́)ง After that glorious mark I went home and gorged myself on potato chips and wrote a happy story about my OC (original character).

Another thing I am procrastinating is... cleaning my room. Gosh such a tedious task. I shy away from room cleaning like a vampire shys away from holy water. I know it has to be done, but it's really difficult when you have distractions like the internet! 

Yeah, I know "Only internet addicted geeks use memes to express themselves". Well its a kitten laying on a laptop, it was too cute not to have. 

I've run out of things to type...

Oh right. I do have some stuff to type about. It's approaching that time of year again for students in years 3,5 and 9 in Australia. The dreaded NAPLAN. For those who don't know what NAPLAN is it is a series of tests Australian students take to see what level the students are at. It doesn't grade the students as individuals it grades the schools. Its quite a stressful time of year because each school is trying its best to be the best so they push their kids a lot. But I have a few weeks before they arrive. Part of those few weeks are the Autumn holidays! Yay! Free time to do stuff I want! Staying up late reading! 

I think I might wrap this up now, no use waffling on about how much school sucks at the moment. 

~~~

Word of the day: procrastination, is the practice of carrying out less urgent tasks in preference to more urgent ones, or doing more pleasurable things in place of less pleasurable ones, and thus putting off impending tasks to a later time, sometimes to the "last minute".
