Out of place, out of order?

SooOOOoo,
School is back for round 11. 
I'm officially in year 10.
Officially legal to ditch school.

But we all know that isn't going to happen because...
-Cough cough-
I wanna go to uni and I need the cursed year 12 for that crap.
Yay, HSC.
Two years, guys. Two years.

Yet again the teachers are leveling up in the whole "YOU'RE ADULTS NOW. BE ADULTS."
They say as they don't allow us to watch 'M' rated plays, even though we're "adults". Well played, teacher people/Department of Edumacation.
Well played. Good game.

I feel extremely out of place because well, I've been keeping up with everything. I've been on time for sleeping patterns, homework hours etc.
I've even been doing extra school work. I think it's because next year I step up into the blue shirts. Senior years. And my cluttered brain is like "Holy cow, I need to get my head in the game." To be honest it kinda scares me a little. A little. 
Only a little because as my teachers keep saying...I'm a big girl now. I do big girl things, like packing a lunch box! Rather than choosing not to eat through school hours. 

Bah. The school topic is boring me now. 

Another huge, gigantic, titanic change that has happened to me is...I now have medium length hair (just touches my shoulders). I took a big step and opted to get my baby cut short. When I saw the lengths of brown hitting the hairdresser floor part of me was like:
Then the more calm, collected sector was like: "No, no. I'm totally chill with this decision. I'm going to rock this cut and bring in the males." Haha. Mind you stoopid.

This year, also commonly referred to by the community of twelvies as "2k15", I have promised myself I am going to read Shakespeare because why the hell not. Classic literature for the win!  We're studying Macbeth in English at the moment and I'm loving it. I have the language, the use of said language and the incorporated, intertwined humour. 

"Are we on the insane root?"
That line pretty much translates to "Omg are we high right now?"
I was the only one who had a laugh. ( ◡́.◡̀)


I've also started writing again. After a long hiatus from writing I've noticed certain changes to my style.
Changes that are for the better if you ask me. I've been studying other authors styles and taking notes. Eg; the different uses for words and phrasing of words. 

My style seems more like a young adult trying, testing and developing. Rather than the thirteen year old girl whom likes the English language. That girl was me two years ago.

Oh my goodness guys this is a long post. Probably got something to do with the fact that I'm sick, at home and not a cadets. Like I'm supposed to be. That's also a reason I feel out of place. I should be drilling right about now. But instead I'm sitting on my bed in Avenger PJ trousers with the sweet batman top I bought in Queensland. I like to think my dress style is a war, Marvel is bickering with my DC top. Maybe I'm just insane. Hmph, more fun that way if you ask me. 

I've really been considering career paths. I've decided I'd like to become a librarian. I love the idea of being surrounded by books and working with books. It'd be like Heaven. Well, my Heaven.

A book suggestion? If you're into young adult, fantasy fiction I really suggest Lockwood and Co. By  Jonathan Stroud. Great books. Only two of them so far but they are GREAT. Been really into them recently, well over the last two years. Hehe. They follow a ghost hunting agency in London, it's run by three teenage kids. Each with special powers. They're mysteries and adventurous. Twisty and turny. Absolutely great. 

Music suggestion? It's actually an album. Fall Out Boy's newest album: "American Beauty/ American Psycho". It's just awesome. Had it on repeat for a week or two now. Been suggesting it to everyone. My favourite song on it would have to be: Uma Thurman

On the topic of news my all time favouirte band Florence + the Machine is expected to release new music AND a new album soon! Eeeee so excited! I know they're filming video clips too! ALSO, another one of my favourites Marina and the Diamonds is slowly and steadily releasing new songs from her album "Froot". 

I'm done rambling. My nose, throat and head hurt. So, I'm going to relax and read some bit now. 
Bye and thanks for reading this huge ass post. 

Peace out.

Word of the day: pandemonium, a crazy commotion.

Oh um...Merry Christmas...?

I kinda...Maybe...Did forget about this blogs existence entirely. 

It was only until a TEACHER from school was like "I heard you run a blog." I went: Oh. (ㆆ_ㆆ)

After the complete and utter realization that you know...I have a blog...That really requires a update the next thing that popped into my head was...
Teacher.
Blog.
HOW DOES HE KNOW? *Defensive Tessa mode activated*

Family connections apparently. In the end I just awkwardly laughed and explained it to him. 


I've actually been doing stuff with my life guys! Be proud of me! 


I went to Queensland and did all the big theme park rides! All except one...Would have done it but you know, patience isn't one of my traits and I ain't got time for a two hour cue. I had places to be, fears to conquer and Wonder Woman capes to buy! The theme parks were amazing

The place we stayed at? Not so much. The food at this place...Was blander than the taste of chalk and I ended up living off watermelon for five days. With Maccas runs in between. #TheHealthyLife 



And now photos!


Aimee and I with our boarding passes. 


Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. 


Gemstone bracelets! 


Buzzsaw...THE SCARIEST RIDE. 


 
                                                     THE SCARIEST RIDE EVER.
#NoodyCameraSkillz 


 Squishies!

 Aimee and I's meal on the plane.
We called it: Snakes on a plane
We were so proud.

Our ride to Queensland!

All thanks to my great friends; Aimee, Cody, Brandon, Jacob S and Shanae! You helped make the experience a great one!


Both cadets and school have drawn to a close for 2014. 

Goodbye year 9, never liked you anyway. 
So I'm now on summer/ Christmas holidays. 

So far I've written half a chapter of my big fanfiction, edited the other chapters and posted a sad, feely one-shot. Yay, for me. For the first time in forever I feel like I'm full filling my days.


What will 2015 hold for me? I seriously have no clue. But oh well. I'll be in year 10. Yay.



So, um, MERRY CHRISTMAS.
Be safe. Don't die to death.

Word of the day: cardinal, something of importance.

Headaches are abominations.

I feel like someone has slammed me into a brick wall head first.
I want to know the reason why we get head aches. Seriously, I hate 'em.

I rarely get head aches.  I created some ideas on what creates them, so here, take my ideas on what creates headaches:



  • Dragon dancing around your skull. A rarer cause of headaches.
  • The invisible goat. Common cause.
  • Dumb TBHs (to be honest statuses) from twelvies. "TBH: your pretty and smart i guess xoxoxox". Common cause.
  • Zombies munching on your brain. Guaranteed pain. Not so common cause. Solve with shotgun. 


And finally;


  •  Wild Indigos, they are the root of nearly every problem. Like the ultimate question, where is the other sock? An Indigo took it.


After a twenty second google search I just found out that headaches are caused by lots of things. Things like:

  • Stress
  • Lack of food and water
  • High blood pressure
  • Loud noise
  • Stupid people
  • Eye problems
  • Rick Astley's 'Never going to give you up' 
And...
  • Infections/ illnesses like the common cold. 
I think I'll just blame this headache on a wild Indy. ಥ_ಥ


That's all folks for this post. 

Word of the day: dell, a valley full of dolls...Wait no that's a song I like. It's a valley full of trees.

Because Emma told me to.

I totally didn't forget about this blog...No, not at all.


Reason one of why I have not updated in nearly a month: laziness.
Reason two: I've actually been doing things with my life. Exciting things. 
Reason three: Schhhhhoooooool. >_< 
Reason four: 

<-----Exactly that.





So in other words...Sorry, not sorry.






Reason why I'm updating:



Because Emma told me to. If I didn't, it would eat me and sell my kidneys to that shady lady near the skip bin at the back of my school.



I think her name is Indigo. 



Indy, please don't eat my kidneys. I need them for things. Like filtering my pee and absorbing glucose. If you even think about my lovely kidneys, I will bite your goat. Now that is what you call a threat, kiddo.








On the topic of goats I FOUND NEW GOAT GIFS.






For those who are new to my blog...Long story short: goats are amazing and I love them.



They are like sheep! But they have majestic beards! So that makes them 9000+ times better.






I have been at it again with the fanfiction!



I wrote another dark Skulduggery Pleasant one!



Warning there are spoilers.








But in my absence I found an awesome website while surfing the interweb.




It's called freerice.com.




Basically; you answer a simple question right, they donate 10 grains of rice to hungry, starving people. It's a great killer of boredom. And while you are being given something simple to do, you are feeding poor babies on the other side of the world.


So I highly recommend it, it's free and doesn't require much brain power. But a tip from me to you: look out for the pesky opposite questions.





I have decided I don't like editing my stories. Seriously, it makes me cringe and it takes 5 minutes to long!

What could make it more worse that what it already is? When the chapters of the story are 2000 words+. It's a nightmare. Note to self: Don't become a novel editor. 
With that you can probably tell I'm working on something big. It's still a fanfic but it's going to (hopefully) be a big one. 
ᕙ(`▽´)ᕗ



I can't think of anything else, or mildly exciting to put in this post so...Imma end it here.


Word of the day: alleviate, to make something easier to endure. 




Signing off for today.

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.
