Because i'm a hopeless blogger (but probably more likely because i'm a highschool senior), i haven't blogged for half a month...
And i apologise for this. sincerely.
which i'm fairly certain i could copy and paste to the start of every new blog atm...
So, back to my life :)
I finally got most things sorted for the Formal (yay! no more stress!) so except for actually booking the appointments (which i should do, come to think of it) and the actual day, i think i'm all ready! so thank goodness for that.
In other news, i've finally started getting used to the cold... just in time for the august winds to start, so i'm back to square one and freezing my butt of again. how rude. But hey, i'm like 2 months i'll be toasty warm and camping at the beach. Just can't wait till then...
And sadly excluding schoolwork that kinda sums up my life :( or lack there of... as my mother keeps reminding me, i'm a senior now. Apparently it's normal for seniors to have no lives.
So basically that's it :)

Well, you see...
So, i was planning on doing a Formal rant.
As in a rant about the Formal, not just one that was written... formally?
And Dearest (you know who you are), i honestly still was planning on until Physics today.
And then i had a chat with you know who... and she was actually entirely calm about it (regardless of whether certain people sit with them or not, and how people at the table get on). And then I had that awkward mixed messages chat with a certain someone else, and got all confuzzled and WHY CAN'T HE JUST ACTUALLY FORM THE QUESTION about it (yeah, i was less calm in my head then to you... i find if i act how i want to feel, i end up feeling like that).
Then lunch came, and most of it went, and he asked (yay!).
And now i've basically forgotten what i was going to rant about.
But for all you out there who aren't dearest (and there's a lot of you, i know... however many billion people in the earth compared to 1 girl), here's the gist of the rant:
Formal tables should not be strictly 10 people per table!
It just doesn't work... especially when you factor in partners who don't speak to each other and girls with personality clashes and the fact that it's "their special night"... cus it's not anyone else's!
So take my advice: when you get to be a senior and have prom/formal coming up, LET SOMEONE ELSE DO THE TABLES!

So...
Hi. Note that i'm writing this less then 2 weeks since my last post. Aren't i improving! (sarcasm hand raised).
Yeah. Where was I??
Oh right. So SN has had a rash of "day in the life of" posts recently... none of which *quite* represent me. I mean, my stereotype (australian high school student) has been, but it's not what my life really is like. With this realisation (and the realisation that no "day in the life of" post i write will actually get published on SN), I've decided to write one for you guys. Aren't you lucky?? And without further ado, i present...
A Day In The Life Of... Oreos!
And by oreos i mean me, not the edible biscuit that is oh-so-yummy....
6:01 AM - my alarm goes off. Why 01, you ask? Because it allows me to truthfully tell myself i will actually get up after 6:00 today. I get out of bed (or pull out my iPod) and open up sparknotes and my emails. Sadly as I live in Australia, most of my sparknotes friends are online when I could be sleeping... getting up early is the only way we can live chat.
7:05 - start getting ready for school... straighten hair (or stick it in a bun if i'm running late), eat breakfast, drink coffee (decaf, bleugh), pack my bag... the list is never ending.
7:40 - yell at my youngest brother to get his butt out the door, and leave. Thankfully i have my license now, so I can drive us all to school.
7:55 - arrive at school, go to tuckshop, buy coffee... and this one's caffeinated! Hang out with friends (and my coffee) for about half an hour, catching up on the goss i missed yesterday and get reprimanded at least 10 times for my caffeine/sugar dependency.
8:30 - form room. We get the notices, have a devotion, and one lucky member of the class gets asked questions by our form teacher. Generally i doodle in my diary, talk to my friends, or debate the latest Doctor Who episode with some of the guys in class.
8:45 - period 1. I'm going by a Thursday timetable, so it's ... um ... OK, so after 18 months i still haven't learnt my timetable. Thankfully my friends are aware of this, and someone tells me that we all have maths first... I actually take two maths subjects, and this is the easier one, so i sit and chat with my friends/listen to my iPod during this lesson.
10:00 - Life Skills. In which each class wastes as much of the 30 minute session as they can ignoring the teacher.
10:30 - MORNING TEA! Unfortunately we're not allowed on the only patch of grass in our school during morning tea, but we are allowed on the fake grass! Chocolate of some variety is generally consumed, and gossip from first period shared.
11:00 - Period 2. Today this is my second maths subject, maths C. It's actually quite hard, but the teacher for this class is awesome and there's only 8 in the class, so we generally end up having class discussions on such things as the ability of a ring box to fit into an oreo packet, or the financial situation of Greece.
12:00 - Period 3. Which is the entire other end of the school... which currently has construction through the main path. Yippee! After 10 minutes of travel, I arrive at chemistry having looked at the prac on the way. Generally, it's boring, but without fail one of the guys in class will have the matches confiscated... which is mildly entertaining.
1:10 - LUNCH TIME!! Rush downstairs to the grade's "common area", which is simply a kettle and microwave... the key thing here being kettle, from which water is procured for my coffee (or caramalatte, as the case so often is). After this, we go to the fake grass, the real grass, the form class area (the hallway which our form classes come off), or to a study session. Gossip is swapped, homework is attempted, and (almost) an entire hour of school time is spent being told to use my inside voice...
2:00 - Period 4. The final period of the day, English. I love the class (as in teacher and student group), but hate the subject... While i love to read (with a passion), I hate having to interpret texts. English is all about interpretting. Nuff said. I sit and generally end up writing out song lyrics for 75 minutes.
3:15 - FREEDOM!!! Or at least, I go down to the oval until I can drag my brothers away from their social lives. And you always though girls were the ones who liked to talk???
4:something - get home. Go on sparknotes, email, etc... basically waste time till mum gets home.
4:something-later - Mum gets home, the kettle goes on, and i offload my day onto her over cups of coffee (this time decaf... again...). After this i stuff around with school work/play piano/waste time on the net/read till dinner, after which i do homework/assignments/emails/sparknotes/watch tv... you get the picture.
Wrap up: My day is 25% coffee, 25% gossip-sessions, 25% revising what I didn't do in class, 25% wasting time and 100% talking.
Yeah. Where was I??

This. Is. A. Post.
Really. Just in case you hadn't already guessed...
So, in news of general importance:
I promise i will post a pic of my dress once i actually have a picture of it. Oh, and i also now have the shoes (black with diamontes), clutch (black with... diamontes!) and jewellery (diamontes, with diamontes). So all i have to do is figure out the hair, make up, and car, and i'm GOOD to go! Which is very exciting, and a lot of pressure off.
So... I haven't posted in a while. And i'm sorry. But i'm goign to rectify this...
And with that little announcement, we begin!
How To: Go Back to School with Style
1) Wear something new. Be this a new top (if your school doesn't have a uniform policy), a new hair accessory or a new bottle of foundation... something new and nice will definitely make you slightly more enthusiastic about school, and thus school more enjoyable.
2) Come prepared with an answer to "What did you do on your holidays". For some reason, even after a 2 month holiday people think that you can sum that answer up in one sentence. On top of that, "not much", "nothing" or "heaps" are generally not acceptable answers. Prepare yourself: "I went to the zoo, spent some time with friends and avoided sunburn like the plague" or "my family went to Sydney" are viable answers that will keep the questioner happy and enable you to move on with the conversation.
3) Remind yourself of all those boring times on holiday. Sure, on the whole it was definitely better then the study you endured during those last few weeks before the holidays, but they were the worst school has to offer. The initial week, if not a bludge, at least has a heap of gossip from the holidays.
4) Start the count down calendar. If all else fails, chances are there are less then 100 days till your next holidays.

OHMYGOSHNESS!!!!!
I have a formal dress.
And it's Pretty... :) (think that great line from Devil Wears Prada when you read that)
Anyways, it's a strapless (well, it has straps that you can clip on) shot taffetta dress, with rouching down to the hips (but it finishes on a slant, so it finishes a bit above one hip and on top of the other). It's deep blue, floor length, sort of sweetheart neckline, with a scoop skirt...
basically it's beautiful and everything i was looking for, and it was half price as well so my parents will pay for new jewellery and a clutch and maybe even some heels... which is super exciting (and entirely not expected)
And just to top it all off, the dress ended up being less then my brother's suit (or even hiring my brother's suit) so mum is super excited... and because it was so cheap, even though it doesn't fit perfectly at the hips (yet), if it has to go to an alterations lady mum will pay for it... which is good, cus i'm so short it definitely has to be hemmed (I can't walk in it yet), and it's not a straight hem so i'll have to get someone to hem it anyway.
That's pretty much it :)

Randomness :)
So i'm back again (aren't I good??) and I promise to regularly blog again... really...
Anyways, i've finally finished exams and my senior year is officially 1/2 over!!! Which is sad and happy, but extremely exciting.
In other news, i've begun formal dress shopping, so fingers crossed i'll have one by the weekend and post you guys a pic :)
Back to the blogging thing
So, I was playing around on youtube (as you do) and started getting all nostalgic about some ads that used to be on down here... These ads have become legendary down under, with their phrases quoted daily.
During the time of Emperor Nasi Goreng... Too many rabbits in China. This ad is from the then government owned telephone company in Australia.One of the most quoted ads in Australia...
Charter boat, what charter boat? Only shown in Queensland, one of a series of ads from RACQ, our state's main insurance company. And sorry about the quality, it's the only version on youtube.
Not happy, Jan! Useful when annoyed at anyone or anything (and used far too much as newspaper headlines), it's an ad for the Australian version of the yellow pages.
And only 2% fat. Not the part of the ad we were actually supposed to remember, but the line that's stuck anyway. Pauls is the main milk company over here.

Excitement
So i get home yesterday and a letter announcing the date of my formal (like the prom, only in Australia) had arrived. To which you go OMGOSHNESS I'M ALMOST FINISHED WITH SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
and then hang your head in sham eover the amount of exclamation points, and the fact that the last one was a 1. sorry bout that.
Anyways, so my formal date is now official, as is the time and place... which just makes it all the more real. And all the more depressing, since i have to find a dress, decide how i want my hair, what shoes, get someone to do my makeup, organise who i'm going with and how we're getting there, decide what after party to attend, buy a purse... the list continues.
So as excited as i was by this last night, it's just another thing i'm now stressing about.
Anyways, that's it until after exams are done... 1 week and counting, then i'll have a life again :)

It's too late to apologise...
OK, ok, i'm sorry. I'm a terrible blogger!
Forgive me??
So, in other news...
Recently, i've become addicted to Gilmore Girls. Needless to say, this isn't helping the coffee addiction. Also, the awesome book i've been waiting on for 2 months i'm Still Waiting On. Yup. 2 months. It's ridiculous!
Back on track now..
Soo... i was wondering around the interwebz, and found this little quiz...
Itunes Shuffle Quiz
What's currently in your fridge? Relax, take it easy
Your biggest nightmare? mistaken identity
What place would you like to visit? another one bites the dust
A reason to commit suicide? million pieces
Why are we here? the stand
Something you never dared to say to anyone...? i see you
One thing the world really doesn't need? Holiday
What's your biggest unfulfilled wish? I'm going slightly mad
If you could invent something, what would it be? Art of Love
The last thing you say before you die? Bicycle Race
What's your destiny? Crazy Little Thing Called Love
What do you do when you're alone in an elevator? Polkarama!
How does hell look like? Bad Reputation
About what would you like to write a book? Jupiter (From the Planets)
The best thing ever is...? Sandy
Why did the chicken cross the road? Back 2 Good
Why do you listen to music? The Monkey's Uncle
What do you do when you're alone and nobody's watching? Say Cheese
Why are other people so stupid? Captain Jack
Last thing you ate? Sir Duke
Why is grass green? Love Stoned/I Think She Knows
Your phone is ringing, but who's on the other end? Disease
What should you stop doing? Grease
Unoriginal, yes, but some amusing results gained. Basically, just make sure your itunes is on shuffle and press next to get a new song for each question :)

Goodness Graciousness!
Howdy all :)
it's been a month (almost... ok, so 3 weeks, but still) and i have yet to write something interesting here. I'm becoming a Bad Blogger. Now this probably has more to do with my stupid assignments then anything else (5 left and counting), and the exams i also have to endure (only 5 left, again) and the whole "I'm a senior i have no life" epidemic spreading through my grade, but still. I miss you guys.
And sadly i have no time to write anything truly interesting or exciting, that has absolutely nothing to do with school...
... but i can write something slightly interesting on a school related topic!
We're studying Pride and Prejudice at the moment (one of my all-time favourite novels/movies/mini-series... yes, i like the keira knightly *sorry about the spelling* movie AS WELL AS the book and mini-series. I see it as a stand alone version of the story... interesting, if not totally true to life) and the assignment is to write an article of a subject of the book. I'm doing the perfect man (aka mr Darcey) and what's more, school has APPROVED THIS! so i have 1000 words with which to gush about mr Darcey, complain about mr Wickham (and the waste of his attractiveness) and compare the two with Benjamin Barry (from How to lose a guy in 10 days). Suffice to say i think it will be the most enjoyable english assignment of my senior year.
And hence, i give you my list of perfect men (and some justifications):
The Doctor (most incarnations... except 7 and 8. They were just weird)
David Tennant (he's SCOTTISH!)
Hugh Jackman (hot)
Wolvereine (hot)
Mr Darcey (hello??? ALL PERFECT MEN ARE BASED ON HIM! and he's hot)
Colonel Fitzwilliam (darcy, but without the pride... and sadly the money)
Ryan Palmer (he's from the coffee series... well, ok the Lauren Holbrook series, but i renamed them. and he is THE PERFECT MAN! if i had to name just one, it would be him)
Booth (hot. and a nice guy. and funny. and awesome. and yeah, i'm waiting for the season finale to come out... thought it came out yesterday my time (but was wrong) and normally it comes out wednesdays in canada (and hence thursdays in aus) but cus it's the finale, it's coming out the same time in canada as in america... so friday night in aus :( poor little me...)
Patrick Dempsey (i admit, i'm superficial)
The guy from The Terminal (can't remember his name. the main character. Cus he's just so nice!)
Who've I missed off this list?? Add your faves in the comments

We're studying Pride and Prejudice at the moment (one of my all-time favourite novels/movies/mini-series... yes, i like the keira knightly *sorry about the spelling* movie AS WELL AS the book and mini-series. I see it as a stand alone version of the story... interesting, if not totally true to life) and the assignment is to write an article of a subject of the book. I'm doing the perfect man (aka mr Darcey) and what's more, school has APPROVED THIS! so i have 1000 words with which to gush about mr Darcey, complain about mr Wickham (and the waste of his attractiveness) and compare the two with Benjamin Barry (from How to lose a guy in 10 days). Suffice to say i think it will be the most enjoyable english assignment of my senior year.
And hence, i give you my list of perfect men (and some justifications):
The Doctor (most incarnations... except 7 and 8. They were just weird)
David Tennant (he's SCOTTISH!)
Hugh Jackman (hot)
Wolvereine (hot)
Mr Darcey (hello??? ALL PERFECT MEN ARE BASED ON HIM! and he's hot)
Colonel Fitzwilliam (darcy, but without the pride... and sadly the money)
Ryan Palmer (he's from the coffee series... well, ok the Lauren Holbrook series, but i renamed them. and he is THE PERFECT MAN! if i had to name just one, it would be him)
Booth (hot. and a nice guy. and funny. and awesome. and yeah, i'm waiting for the season finale to come out... thought it came out yesterday my time (but was wrong) and normally it comes out wednesdays in canada (and hence thursdays in aus) but cus it's the finale, it's coming out the same time in canada as in america... so friday night in aus :( poor little me...)
Patrick Dempsey (i admit, i'm superficial)
The guy from The Terminal (can't remember his name. the main character. Cus he's just so nice!)
Who've I missed off this list?? Add your faves in the comments

Twinnified...
Randomness ensues...
Not really.
Anyways.
I was thinking the other day, and realised I'm unique in many, many ways. One of these ways is the fact that I have THREE different twins! I have my actual, legitimate, related-by-blood twin. Then I have my real life "twin". And i have my (virtual) "e-twin".
My real twin... Well, he is both great and annoying. He does every subject i do except one, and over half of these we share a teacher for. So if I'm stuck on homework, or not understanding an assignment (or just forgot what the homework was) he can help. Unfortunately, he's also SUPER brainy. I'm smart (sounds like i'm upmyself, but i am relatively intelligent) but he is RIDICULOUSLY smart. As in topped every subject last year. And he's not that patient, so he gets frustrated with me if i don't see things automatically. And he always smiles. I mean always. From the moment he awakes to the moment he rests his head on a pillow, he SMILES. which is just ANNOYING! Trust me on this, people.
My real life "twin"... She is absolutely FABULOUS! One of my best friends (and to Dearest, who is reading this, you're a level about bestie), she is also a "real" twin (ie has a twin brother). Somewhere along the line, we decided we were each other's "real" twin. And then we introduced "twinlepathy" (telepathy between twins)... She and I have conversations where we're both just grunting. And we know what each other is saying. Maybe this happens because we both speak with our mouths full and hang around each other way too much (probably the case), but we like to blame it on twinlepathy.
My e-twin... Rebel is awesome. Check out her blog here. Somehow, in some SparkLife article, we became twins. I don't know who first called whom twin (probably Rebel), and i'm not even sure if it was directed at me (i probably intercepted it, and it was directed at someone else) but somehow we became twins. And have addressed each other as such ever since.
So that's me. Anyone else have any weird relationships??

Tagged
Gummy very nicely tagged me with the "7 questions" thing (which i had thus far avoided), so here goes (simply cus i think the question is interesting):
7 things i'd change my name to if i could
Important thing to know before i start: My name is Bec (short for Rebecca) and there are 5 Bec's in my class of 130 at school. So yeah, individual it is not.
1) Oreos Awesomeness - it's my name on my email accounts anyway, so why not?
2) Sarah - my bestie's name, and people are always calling me that.
3) Elizabeth - aka Bennet
4) Laurie Holbrook - she was the girl in the book who was proposed to with oreos
5) Megan (pronounced meg-anne) - it's just awesome
6) Hannah - reversible :)
7) Reese - peanut butter cups (what more can i say?)
And seeing as people are getting a bit annoyed by tags now, i'm thinking instead of tagging anyone specific, just answer this question in the comments (if you want)...
What is the randomest nickname you have? (not based on your actual name)

A Little Too Late
It has come to my attention that it's been NINE DAYS since I've blogged. And I appologise. Profusely. So please forgive me.
In the mean time, I thought i'd go back to my early blogging roots and write a "how to" on a completely unrealistic, but hopefully amusing topic.
Just a clause: this is being typed on an iPod touch, spelling mistakes are likely to occur. It's still learning my typos. However, I must say i'm impressed by it's learning... Predictive now gives me ohmygoshness when I type in ohm.
How To: Stay Dry In The Rain
it's the end of period 3, you're in a classroom the otherside of the oval and t starts to poor. You're trapped: you have to attend your next class, but you can't get wet - your make up would run, your straight hair would curl, and most importantly your pathetically designed school uniform consisting of a white blouse will go see through. How does one reach the other side?? Watch and learn.
1) Grab a large poster, preferably laminated.
Why laminated, you ask? Laminate, my dear friends, is plastic. Plastic repels water. My friend seriously did this today. Sure it may not stop issues with your make up, hair, or getting water in your shoes but it can stop water from touching your blouse. You may look odd with a wet back and dry front, but at least you won't look like a slut.
2) Jumpers make great hats.
While laminate is great for protecting the hideousnes that is your uniform, unfortunately there's not that many posters to go around, requiring a differet solution to protect your delicate hair. Jumpers, hoodies, blazers and jackets are all great forms of protection which do not require you to hold to keep on your head. While it may be more obviius to simply wear said article of clothing, you need multiple layers of cloth to keep the water at bay. It may not be classy, but your hair will be afterwards.
3) Sprint
Sure, you might slip in a puddle, and Sure, you'll be hot and sweaty (and wet and cold) for your next class... but when all else fails, sprint (making sure to jump in all the puddles along the way)

Insert Ad HERE:
I remembered what i was actually planning to blog about! Just ran off on a little tangent, sorry...
So, here is what was going to be the last post!
Firefox have very kindly published my second persona (google firefox personas, they're pretty awesome) which can be found here or by searching "Reese's Peanut Butter Cups" - sticking with the chocolate theme, this one is basically just a Reese's logo (over the header and footer graphic) with an orange background.
I admit, not as classy as my Oreos one, but it was made in 5 minutes. Sorry
Speaking of the Oreos: Heaven in a Biscuit persona, it officially reached 10 users the other day :) which is super exciting for someone with only very basic graphic design skills, using online editing software (SUMO paint, for anyone who's interested, is like an online version of Photoshop. Except free)
So check both of those out :) and if you've made/like any personas, leave it in the comments.

An Update
Hey all
just thought i'd let you know what's happening with me (apart from recovering from the Bones breakdown)
So, i have eaten all of the chocolate i was given for Easter (admittedly, it was only a handful of chocolate and a bunny, but still) and about half of what i bought (which was a fair amount more). Therefore, i'm about to start a new fitness kick (any ideas, PLEASE comment. i tend to get bored of walks/bike rides/runs fairly quickly).
Glee was on about 3 hours ago in america, meaning it was posted online about 1 1/2 hours ago, so i have watched the first episode for 2010, with mixed feelings... i'm not sure if i'm overly pleased with where the writers seem to be taking the show, but the songs are still great and story lines still interesting.
I managed to get an appointment for the next stage of treatment for my eczema, so fingers crossed that all goes well...
Which means i've spent all day re-arranging plans for tomorrow, when i was supposed to be going to an awesome playground to hang out. Which i'm still doing. But at a later time. And somehow, the group of 12 is down to a group of 6 (doctors appointments, assignments, lack of parental consent, etc) so i'm having to reorganize things again this afternoon. Next holidays i'm going to let everyone else organize me, i've decided.
Finally, i've spent about 6 hours now refreshing SN to discover they only have 3 articles (excluding open thread and aunty sparknotes) posted today. Which is worrying of itself, until you realise only 1 non-routine (aunty SN, open thread, thing of the week, etc) article was posted yesterday. Making a grand total of FOUR articles this week! So if anyone has any info on that, it'd be much appreciated ;)
Apart from that, life is going back to normal (ie things are starting to begin again for the new term) as the holidays wind down, which is depressing... but hey, only 2 1/2 terms to go!
What's happening in your lives??

Spoilers Beware
So, here's an interesting fact about myself: I get addicted to tv shows extremely easily. I'm talking after 1 show, doesn't matter what genre, because it's so good/so bad easily. It's ridiculous, to be honest
A side effect of this is that i tend to research my shows... IMDB and wikipedia are great friends of mine for this. Unfortunately for me, living in Australia we get things AT LEAST a month late (normally anywhere between 2 and 6 months) so the internet is unintentionally full of spoilers for all shows i watch on the net.
To combat this (after accidentally discovering the plot for the last Doctor Who episode with David Tennant through a music video on youtube), i started watching shows online so that i was at basically the same spot in a series as the rest of the world. Good idea, one would think.
And it had been. Until today.
You see, today the latest Bones episode was loaded onto multiple video hosting websites. Multiple naive international viewers clicked on the "download" button, and watched the 40 minutes of video. Sadly, without anyone to commiserate with.
Because i don't wish to spoil this for those who've not seen it yet (or bore those who don't watch Bones - by the way, check it out) i'm not going to explain the cause of my anguish. Except to say THE LAST SCENE! And he FINALLY! and She... she... URGHSOKDFJ! HOW COULD SHE DO THAT!!!
so thanks, kind blog readers, for reading this overly dramatic post so i could finally get that out of my system.

Just a Little Late
A few weeks ago i posted about the camp i was about to go on, specifically the dress up night. And i promised to keep you guys in the loop.
So welcome to the loop :) it's a great place to be.
Basically, it's happened already, but it was FANTASTIC! so much fun. We all got dressed in one little apartment (squishing 12 girls into a 2 room apartment was interesting), with Spice Girls, Venga Boys and Aqua blasting out of speakers (it was a 90s night, so we thought they were appropriate) mixed with my Disney CDs (well, we were being 3 year olds. 3 year olds like 90s!). And we looked FABULOUS...
So that's basically it.

Hey Howdy Hey :)
Happy Easter everyone :)
Those of you who read my other blog will understand why i'm happy it's finally over. Those of you who don't, please make an exception for this one post so that i don't sound anti-easter-ish... cus i'm not, i love the religious side (hello, i can now go to heaven... what's not to like!) and the commercial part (um, chocolate. need i say more?) but this years has been a bit stuffed up.
Anyway, so the highlight of my life at the moment is that the bus timetables are back onto a weekday schedule (they're on the Sunday schedule for public holidays, which means they only come once every hour or two) so i can get to places again :)
With that, i thought i'd share some fun things to do whilst on a bus
1) Put in your iPod headphones (but don't put your iPod on): most adults don't even need that much encouragement, but it allows you to discreetly eavesdrop on whatever conversation you like. People have interesting ones whilst on public transport, and to be honest if they're stupid enough to say private stuff loudly whilst on a bus, they deserve someone to overhear it.
2) Play People Bingo: only works with two or more people, really, but you can play it by yourself for a sense of achievement. Write up a list of cliched bus users (or people you're likely to see on the sidewalk) and tick them off. Seriously, it becomes hilarious very quickly.
3) Answer the person speaking on the phone: Again, works best if there's two of you. Take turns responding to the annoying person on their cell phone. By playing it with someone else, the conversation becomes sillier and sillier. And if you're lucky, they'll hang up the phone out of annoyance
4) Strike up a conversation with a random: While not always safe, little old ladies are a good bet for speaking back to you. I've had some great conversations trying to explain that i'm not a uni student, and talking about various aspects of my life. And they generally tell funny stories, too.
5) Bluetooth funny photos: Most people (stupidly) leave their bluetooth on full time. Why not make use of this and send a stupid photos (preferably of your friend who's sitting in another row) to everyone? remember to change your bluetooth name though, you don't want people realising it was from you.
Anyone with more ideas? i'm guaranteed to spent at least 30 minutes on a bus today, so all suggestions are appreciated ;)

Well That was Awkward!
So, today has been full of awkwardness.
We filmed for my friends music video (for film in school) where she had accidentally cast me and my twin brother to have a "meaningful" look and hug. By accident. And she seriously didn't figure that out until we filmed... yup, likely. Not.
My bestie (also a twin) had her birthday dinner, but she and her brother had to invite someone of the opposite sex. Her brother invited me. Again... awkard!
I accidentally walked into my parents Bible study when i came back from said dinner. Loudly. After laughing with my friend down the driveway. Cus we're mature... totally...
So answer me, why was today awkward?

Study is DONE!
I have my final maths exam today, and then i'm done :)
To celebrate this happy event, one of my friends for her film class is getting about 20 of us together, dressed as stereotypes (i'm a depressed teen), to have a "party" (on the school oval) for her music video assignment... she's doing it to Kids by MGMT (hopefully her film clip is less freaky then that one. The guy with face paint? not natural...).
And while i fully support the idea of her film clip, as repayment for staying on after our final exam she's providing us with REAL soda and candy. Let's see if you've found the problem yet... So, I'm supposed to be depressed looking. And they're giving me sugar. Think about it... (check out the title of the blog)... got it yet?? Yup.
Sugar + depressed DON'T mix.
And i'm rubbish at acting, so lets see how this one goes...
After that, mum's very kindly giving me and some friends a lift to the mall, to by final stuff for camp :) so essentials like playing cards, candy watched, chocolate, candy...
And then i get to go to my best friend's birthday dinner!
So overall today is awesome because of everything :)
How goes your day??

Dress Like a 3 Year Old
I just realised how long it's been since i've actually posted a "how to" blog, mainly i've been posting "lists of awesomeness" recently... So i'm rectifying that mistake :)
For school camp this year we have a themed dress up night, this year with a 90s theme - dress in 90s fashion/90s celebrity/90s children show/as you were in the 90s... so, being the entirely mature gal i am, i convinced my friends to dress up like 3 year olds with me.
Now, as anyone who has met me and my friends (or even heard of us) should know, we're really not mature at all. Teachers pets, yes, but mature?... not so much. Thankfully, this means we don't have to have any acting skills to become three year olds. However, we need costumes. So here it is (i'll post a pic after the event, ok??)
Shoes - black flats (because none of us have little kiddy shoes) and white socks with lace on them (we actually have to sew the lace onto our socks, but we think it's worth it)
Skirts - swishy, little-kid-esque skirts that vaguely (ie in no way at all) match...
Shirts - we've each bought a plain top and are using those iron on transfers to put a graphic on them... so like i've made one with a dinosaur (and glitter writing proclaiming this) or my friends got an elmo one...)
Hair - pigtails with not-matching-ribbons and ringlets. Cus little kids have ringlets. But messy ones, cus what little kid has neat hair?? none, i assure you.
Make-up - lipstick mainly off the lips (bright pink), bright blue eyeshadow (again, fully into eyebrows), lipstick blush... pretty much, we're doing the whole shebang (don't you love that word??)
Accessories - candy bracelet, icky beads, stick on earrings, those tacky adjustable rings...
Additions - a toy (my friends has a tickle me elmo. SO jealous!), and a dress up item (i have a princess crown and some fairy wings)
Suggestions?? seriously appreciated, please comment!!
For school camp this year we have a themed dress up night, this year with a 90s theme - dress in 90s fashion/90s celebrity/90s children show/as you were in the 90s... so, being the entirely mature gal i am, i convinced my friends to dress up like 3 year olds with me.
Now, as anyone who has met me and my friends (or even heard of us) should know, we're really not mature at all. Teachers pets, yes, but mature?... not so much. Thankfully, this means we don't have to have any acting skills to become three year olds. However, we need costumes. So here it is (i'll post a pic after the event, ok??)

And Now, A Little Night Music
ok, not really. But i've always loved saying that.
This is just a deviation from my normal blogging habits to tell you all that I've started a second blog, in which i am allowed to be pessimistic and share with you all the woes of my daily life (rather then the positive/funny things that happen/random things in my head, that this one is).
Anyways, feel free to check it out (or ignore it, like it deserves): Licorice is Icky (and so is this blog)
With that, i bid thee goodnight (can we tell i watched P&P last night??)

Coolest Subjects Around
Heya all :)
I was listening to Hamish and Andy this morning, and one of the listeners who rang in was talking about her "natural disasters" class. That she takes in high school. Yup.
Needless to say i was extremely jealous, so i thought i'd come up with a few awesome subjects of my own, to be taught at my chocolate appreciation academy (now taking enrollments for semester 2 2010).
Oreos 101 - here you learn the 5 true ways to enjoy an oreo, discover how they were invented and discuss why they play such an important part in society today. Assessments include a demonstration of a new way to use Oreos in cooking
Literature Appreciation - in this subject students are encouraged to read at least 1 book every term. Books are chosen by the student, without the need for teacher's approval. A 20 minute examination that requiring students to give a brief overview of the book provides the student's mark.
Facebook for Dummies - for those just beginning their facebook journey, this course explains such things as the Wall, Facebook Chat and naming albums. Each student provides a facebook profile to be assessed at the end of the semester.
Have ideas for other awesome subjects? Leave their name and description in the comments :)

Tim Tams are Awesome
1) there is 96 individual pieces of chocolate in a family sized cadbury block of chocolate. With the exception of the "breakaway" flavour (there's only 48 pieces in that), the all varieties of Cadbury chocoalte in the family variety consist of 12 rows, each with 4 pieces of chocolate.
2) Natural Confectionery Company, Schweppes, Chuppa Chups and Cadbury are all owned by the same company. Which is possibly not odd, seeing as they're all aimed at different markets, but interesting none the less.
3) Reese's Peanut Butter Cups were first sold in the 1920s. As opposed to Hershey's (which obviously bought Reece out at a later stage) which was founded in the 1890s. Also, Hershey's Park was originally only for employees... because what they really needed was another incentive to go work for the best company in the world (not).
Mum's calling for dinner, so i'll leave you with that small amount of knowledge :)

Happy Day-Before-Pi-Day!
As most people know, Pi in mathematics is roughly 3.14... and as most American's can tell you, in 1 days time (well, for me anyway. I think it's still 2 days time in America) it will be March the 14th, aka 3/14, aka PI DAY! to celebrate this momentous date, my maths C class (this is the extra maths i take, with only 7 other students) are having the first ever maths C excursion to the local bakery to buy pies. Which is super exciting, seeing as exam block starts 2 days later, so we're basically getting an excuse to miss boring revision lessons, for a holiday that doesn't even work here Down Under (we write the date as 14/3...). In any case, my friend and i spent last night coming up with some of the many reasons pies should be celebrated on pi day.
1) they have a circumference - with the exceptions of pizza and cookies, pretty much no other food has a perimeter that uses pi in its formula. 1 point for Pies.
2) pieces can be measured using radians - with the exception of pizza (again), what other food would you slice up into equal pieces using radians, aka angles with pi? None, i tell you. 2 Points for Pies
3) they're called "pies"... - which is obvious, but the chief reason that pies should be celebrated on pi day, obviously, is the fact that they're homonyms. What other food shares this glorious name? Can't think of one, can you. 3 Points of Pies.
And with that settled, i shall leave you to organise your own pie day celebrations. Comment me with ideas, what you're doing, or your favourite kind of pie. Mine's apple ;)

Procrastination
Because doing something when you first have the chance is over-rated ;)
Seriously though, I have a major physics assignment due tomorrow morning and what do I find myself doing? Writing a blog, of course, because that's definitely going to help me...
In any case, due to lack of ideas on what to blog about (i'm seriously just writing this to put of rectifier circuits for another 10 minutes) I thought i'd share with you all my personal favourite ways to procrastinate! Not that I condone it or anything...
1) SparkNotes - well, most of you know all about SparkNotes, but i thought I'd mention it anyway... what I mean is not the SparkLife section that entraps so many, but the actual educational part. For example, for the last 15 minutes I have been reading the SparkNotes for Pride and Prejudice, not because we're studying it (well, not for another month anyway) but because I wanted to find out what the Sparkitors thought about Darcy.
2) Playlists on YouTube - invariably with each study period i will create a new playlist on youtube or itunes, filled with songs that inspire me to learn... or at the very list, songs that are catchy and always cheer people up. But getting the perfect blend of dance, bubblegum pop and classic disney is a time consuming process, and can lead to days of procrastination.
3) Organise your desk/diary/computer folders - this way you feel you have achieved something while you've been avoiding work, if only confusion over where your favourite pen now is.
4) Write a Blog - even if it's just rambling on, it still makes you feel like you've written something ;)
Anyways, hope you guys have a more productive time then i'm having...

Bust out those Blues
Assignments are upon my once again, as it draws ever nearer 
to exam block and those magical times that are HOLIDAYS! But before I get to hang up my uniform for those two weeks of bliss, there's just the small matter of assessment to keep me up at night. It's only a tiny blip of stress in the scheme of things, granted, and while I know that getting a "B" in a subject won't actually kill me, all teachers are acting like it will. And with this pressure comes some major stress.
Anyway, so i'm overly stressed right now due to varying assignments (darn me and my need to pick nerdy subjects!) and i'm about to share with you the small amount of techniques i have for surviving the study time blues.
1) chocolate - as you may have guessed, this is pretty much my answer to everything. As the saying goes, "chocolate is the answer - who cares about the question?"... thus the motto of my life. But in all seriousness, chocolate actually does release endorphins, and as Legally Blonde taught us, endorphins make you happy (and happy people just don't kill other people).
2) music -
right now i'm listening to a mix of dance music, 21 Guns, Taylor Swift and a piece by Dvorak (and no, i don't expect you to know who he is). Point is, music has the amazing ability to change your mood... so put on some upbeat numbers and bop around a bit while typing up assignments, or fully dance while rereading notes. It has actually been proved that moving while learning forms stronger bonds in your brain, so you may as well make the most of the time to burn off the calories from our first solution ;)
3) scream at something - preferably not a living thing, screaming at inanimate objects is one of the quickest ways to release tension surrounding your school work. Computer not working? No problem, just tell it how much you hate it and how much it will regret crossing you when you replace it. Printer jamming? Sarcastically inform it of how much you *love* having your assignments chewed up. Best of all, they can't respond so you don't have to think of witty comebacks.
4) write notes up in pretty colours - I don't know about you, but staring at boring black and white pieces of paper just about puts me to sleep. Thus, i have two marvelous little pencil cases, one filled with coloured pens, sharpies, highlighters and my black pen (singular, because you can't write exams in pink unfortunately) and a second filled with crayons, coloured pencils, glitter gel pens and textas. On top of making your work look
more interesting, the use of colours actually helps most people learn.
5) shred a second copy of your assignment - as a reward for finally handing in your draft/essay, print off a second copy and shred. The satisfaction is amazing, trust me. If you're artistic, make a picture of a dinosaur or zombie face to stick on your shredder and make realistic noises so you can feed your assessment to a monster
So that's about it... my coping techniques when life gets too hard for me to deal with. Any other ideas? Post them in the comments :)

It's Raining, It's Pooring...
Hello ;)
So, for the fourth day running, it's raining here in boredomesville. Which would be all well and good, but i'm supposed to be doing assignments (as you can probably guess, seeing as i'm writing this...) which really just takes away the joy of RAIN(!) a bit.
To celebrate this rain (and further the procrastination) I'm going to write a list of 7 awesome things to do while it's raining. Why 7, you ask? Because 7 is the best number, of course! Seriously, I was aiming for 10 and got called to dinner. But hey, 7 is actually my favorite number, so there you go...

Seriously, I was aiming for 10 and got called to dinner. But hey, 7 is actually my favorite number, so there you go...
- Read a book in bed with your quilt wrapped around you, a mug of coffee beside you and chocolate in your mouth... ok, so i did actually get to do that for a small amount of time today, and let me tell you it is AWESOME!
- Run around in the rain, having a water fight with your best friend. I've done this a few times before, partly because the drain in our backyard always overflows when it rains even vaguely heavily (think anytime it rains, basically) which is SO MUCH FUN to splash around in. And you need your best bud to share it with
- Snuggle up in a beanbag and watch a movie. I would suggest one which takes place where it rains alot, or where it snows alot, because a movie in bright sunny California may make you slightly depressed about the movie.
- PUDDLES! They're pretty much the best invention in the history of ever, with the possible exception of crunchy leaves on paths... splish, splosh, splash away my friends ;)
- Boardgames. I know, they can be boring, but playing a good game of Monopoly with siblings can be lots of fun. Plus, house rules state that if it's raining, play stops when the rain ends... whoever has the most money (through cash and properties value)
- Run around to everyone at school and yell "IT'S RAINING!". Yes, it's annoying and yes, it's immature but it's also highly appropriate (it IS raining, after all) and lots of fun. Best performed with another slightly-maturity-challenged individual.
- UGG BOOTS! because it's raining, it's cold (well, not really, but work with me here). Because it's cold, you get to wear cold weather gear. Because you get to wear cold weather gear, you get to wear Ugg Boots :) which are just the best footwear on the planet. As an added bonus, I've got heals added to mine (because of various foot issues) so i'm also 2 inches taller with them on then barefoot.

Formal Invitations
So my school is having our Senior Formal (aka Prom) in October, and since November last year various methods have been used by half the male population to invite girls to the event. These have ranged from a cute youtube video (critics have claimed it was to ensure the girl said yes, but we all believe he's romantic) to the ever awkward "would you like to... um... you know what, forget about it" in front of friends.So, this got me thinking... is there actually a guide on how to ask a girl to a dance? and it turns out there are actually multiple(the best of which was how to ask a girl out while wearing a gorilla suit, something i didn't realise was such a pressing issue) which sort of makes this blog redundant, but being me I'm going to write one anyway :) SO... here goes nothing.
Option 1
As you may have guessed, I am somewhat fond of oreos. For this method however, basically any wrapped chocolate is applicable... a packet of Hershey's kisses is ideal. Buy a packet of chocolate (oreos, kisses, etc). Write a note ('will you come to the formal with me?' is entirely acceptable, especially if you're just friends. However, if you bought a packet of kisses something slightly more cute would be advised) on some nice paper (at the very least, a sheet of plain white paper, not a scrap you pulled out of your notebook). Tape the all important note onto the packet of chocolate, ensuring it is stuck well enough to stay on but not taped so much that you can't read it/can't open the chocolates. Also, helpful hint at this stage is to make sure your name is on the note BEFORE you attach it to the chocolates. While they taste great, they're not the best things to try and write on. Take the chocolates to school and place them in her bag/locker (enlisting her friends help may be crucial at this stage), and voila, you've just got a date to the dance!
Option 2
This one should only be attempted in the safety of a house (yours or the girls). Buy a packet of heart lollipops (or heart candy, if she doesn't like lollipops). Clear a table (or other suitable flat surface) - important note here is to make sure the surface is CLEAR. Arrange the lollipops (candy) to say 'formal' (or prom, etc), then either invite the girl over or wait for her to come home. Very cute, but probably better to use this one if you're really good friends/an item, not just a nice girl you talk to every so often.
Option 3
This one does not necessitate purchasing sugar filled items, I promise. Ask the girl to come do something with you - catch a movie, walk to the other side of the school... it really doesn't matter what, you just want her alone. When you're away from both of your friends, ask her to go to the dance with you. Seriously, most girls will be giddy just being asked - going all out isn't really necessary. When attempting this it is important that you are not only without friends in hearing distance but also out of sight... if things do go badly, it's not the end of the world but it will make it worse if friends see you standing awkwardly with the girl. Also, if you go to a room for some privacy, make sure you close the door. My friend was smart enough to realise that in another room he was out of sight and hearing range, but unfortunately forgot to close the door, resulting in the entire school hearing all the gory details by morning tea (luckily, it went well for him).
Above all, have fun and be you. If doing something extravagant isn't you, don't. It's tacky and girls can see it. Also, don't freak out - the worst that can happen is she'll say 'no'. While this is hurtful, chances are there's a fairly good reason for it (and that's not that you had mustard on your top) - she's already got a date, is head over heals for another guy, is a hateful hag... regardless, it's her loss. And if she ends up going solo, more fool her.
So that's it. Good luck, and comment if you have any funny/successful tales to tell!

Propose With Oreos
So i've decided to start writing this, mainly for myself (i doubt anyone else will read this), because boredom is a horrible thing.
Awhile ago, 2 friends and I started collecting things to write in a book. Initially we were going to do "things we learnt the hard way", but then we read this awesome series by Erynn Mangum in which the girl is proposed to with oreos... lets just say, i now have a new dream.
So, in the off chance that someone wishing to become my fiance (or someone else's) is reading this, I shall teach you the proper etiquette of proposing with oreos.
1) Make sure the proposal is slightly unexpected... Don't take her out to a fancy restaurant with the obvious intention of proposing. It's cliched. Instead, take her for a picnic, ice skating, to your backyard... anywhere which is romantic, but not obvious. Oreos should not be out of place where you take her, either.
2) Present the oreos as a snack... Again, this comes under the surprise part. Don't just start babbling and hand her a packet of chocolate goodness, it'd be awkward. Breath, and hand her the packet. Also, it's a good idea if you pretend to open them for her... otherwise she may become suspicious that the packet is already open, which it will have to be, because...
3) The ring/ring box should be in the middle of the packet... take out as many oreos as necessary and place in the ring/box. Placing the box in is what i'd do, but be careful to get a small enough box that it'll fit inside the packet. If you can see the corners through the packaging, it's a bit of a give away.
4) When she gets to the ring, get down on one knee (or up, if you were sitting...) and ask her to marry you.
Follow these rules, and with a little bit of luck she'll say yes before you could say "oreos are little pieces of chocolate goodness".
Good luck ;)
x Oreos
