trees

Hello and welcome to another episode into the life of boring Belinda (yeesh- I urban dictionary-ied my name and got really, really, really twisted definitions).

Anypoos. D + neighbour, G cut down a tree. yeah. I kinda feel bad. I mean, it's not like I've planted any tree equivalent to the size of my paper usage of the past 18 years. This ginormous bonfire starter is just sitting infront of our front lawn looking sad, dead and very water soaking. Weather doesn't look good. Why, WHY , WHYYY would anyone cut a tree down today. Far out. T_T;

M's upset cos she <3s big trees that give us privacy.

But oh well. D only cut it down because G complained there were termites. That's right. Those pesky buggers. I paid $1 (i think) for a termite in year 7 to complete my stupid insect project... not that it was complete. Haha. You see, I popped over to the vet and asked if I could have a flea- he just stared and gave me a "what the shit?!" expression. Maybe I should have told him what school I was from- then, perhaps, he would have understood.  Kids from random schools - even as far as Penrith know about our infamous cow pats, AI/hand stuck up cow arse, and stupid gay insect projects. D: Luckily for me, it was mosquito season.  So all I did was use a sandwich bag to trap one, sealed it, and I popped it in the freezer for about a day or so.  The next day, I took it out and left it to defrost. Yay, one leg had fallen off. Only 5 to surgically remove... with M's tweezer (without her permission of course!).  Mozzie - legs = flea.  It was good enough for our teacher anyway :D

Surely cutting down a tree housing termites- only leaving the stump will drive the termites TOWARDS the house?  Yeesh. I am afraid. I am VERY afraid. I'm afraid our house will sell for little because of the stupid termites in the future.

/ end insect talk. Insects are disgusting. =_=;

DIGRESSING.

M: When's formal?
D: 17th
B: Wow D, looking forward to it, much?
D: I think I'll take a day off.
B: =_=; what?
D: To drive you!
B: It's like 7 pm =_=;
D: So?
B: Even if you don't make it on time, I could hitch a ride or something.
D: Why would I miss this?
B: ...
M:...  ? I could drive her....
D: Not in your car (note: mum's car is constantly covered in birdie crap because birds live on the tree she parks underneath. Freaking birds. they are so noisy around 5 or so in the morning )
M: WTH is that supposed to mean
(omitted argument)
D: I'll drive you. I'll even dress up!

TT_____TT;

Later...

D: Aren't you excited about formal?
B: Er, not really.
D: But you were so excited before!
B: Er, no?
M: No. She was just mildly interested.
B: Er, yeah I guess.
D: WHAT HAPPENED?
B: It will be boring- photo time blah blah blah. The most exciting part was looking for dresses...
D; Thought you hated it.
B: I did.

I am dreading the thought of someone turning up in the same dress as me.  Guys are always like "why would you care?". WHY WOULDN'T YOU- more like...

1. You make an effort to look nice.
2. Look half decent? Get compliments, feel goodish.
3. Someone rocks up in the same thing. DAMN!
4. Comparison!
5. Let the judging begin...

It's like those magazine photos where they have the caption "Who did it better?" underneath two photos of celebrities wearing the same dress.

;D

It's nice to be the "better", of course, but if you happen to be the person who did worse, well, sucks to be you.

Changing topics again.

Once upon a time in HK, there was a photographer. When the Queen went to HK, she requested for him to take photos for/of her.  Years later, he migrated to Australia and became M's photography teacher.  SINCE WHEN DID SHE START LEARNING PHOTOGRAPHY?!  What the hell?  How I found out? She was skimming through catalogue cut outs that I've been making for the past age and of course, this enraged me as this pile of loose paper was stacked in a very orderly fashion- order of priority, and she had made a mess out of it ;D. But when I calmed down, I found this was an extremely well timed opportunity for me to finally get the lovely Lumix I've been dreaming about for the past month. (I try to visit it every weekend at Myer in the CBD- the sales dude recognises me now ! lol ) Myer has sweetened the deal by taking away $100, and has chucked in a Panasonic Voice Recorder (256mb.... if that's much at all? lol) - but I'm not sure that the $599 price tag appeals to M. She said the Schneider lens shouldn't be that different, etc, etc.

Yeah, actually, talking about this led to nothing. As in, I have nothing to add, as she is still deciding (also looking at DSLRs for some strange reason- I don't think photography is something she will take seriously). I say that because a couple of years ago, she seemed really into watercolour- and gosh, she was good. However, that picture of the old and wrinkled naked lady she was painting remains unfinished to this day- and is a strange sight to stumble  upon when all you are trying to do is shove some dirty laundry in the machine. *shakes head*. Draw a naked lady? Yeah okay I understand, alot of people do that. But an old wrinkly one? M, seriously? =_=; Luckily it's unfinished :P and in the laundry. :D

And years before that, it was PUZZLES. We have a ginormous Snoopy orchestra puzzle hanging in the living room. We also had a fish one- but I have no idea where that went. When I was younger, I had a Hello Kitty soccer one- except I think my cousin knicked that when she was in her soccer-crazy stage.

I guess we all have our phases. :) I just never imagined photography would be one in her life. :/ strange. No wonder I have strange photos on my camera :D

Man, I am so bored. I spent the morning cursing at birds and helicopters (WTH BEFORE 6AM, ARE YOU FOR REAL?), watching Pucca episodes with my sister, eaing Wangwang biscuits, studying Jap and watching D chop the tree down. Today has felt so unproductive. Sadly for me, I haven't felt like I've had a productive day since the time I bought a dress and 2 pairs of shoes in one go. Spending money does give me lots of satisfaction- well, not really. It's not spending- it's acquiring new possessions... Yes, because I am a greedy, greedy possession hogging glob who is really starving right now.  This "no-more-junk" policy my parents are having is really making me feel retarded. I walk into the pantry and there is virtually NOTHING to eat, except the disgusting coconut flavoured Wangwang biscuits D bought accidentally. I don't know how someone accidentally buys coconut flavoured things. So grossssssssss. *cough, Rohan*

Bored, hungry, and  out of Pucca episodes to watch. They are so great. YAY FOR UNREQUITED LOVE. YAY FOR PERSISTENCE. YAY FOR MANY LOLS :D yay for procrastination =_=;
