So I know that I was complaining the shiz out of the history essay... But that is mainly because of my inability to easily express my ideas properly through writing. (I know this is silly cus I'm writing about this on my blog...) But I have a fair bit of difficulty writing, and even talking, about my thought processes and making it all grammatically correct. It was a terrible operation of converting the things I think and feel in my mind into actual words. Despite the super slow process, I actually am content with the outcome. A lot of the time, in conversation, I feel I speak quite vaguely about things and this is because I think I'm afraid that people will will assume I always think in a certain way... When really I feel like thoughts, ideas and beliefs are always in a state of flux.
Anyway, writing the essay has made me realise that I have to seriously improve on my ability to communicate my ideas!

At lunch on Friday I went to visit Vic. I was pretty exhausted and a bit delusional when I went there, but we had lunch and she told me to rest a bit before class. I took a walk in the park. I love how the ground was covered in a layer of leaves. How the front and back of the leaves were different shades. All of them were unique. I picked up one red one and brought it to class. I just wanted to look at it some more. It was hilarious to see the reaction of friends. I think at least five of them picked up the leaf and said, "WHOA IT'S A LEAF!" or "Ohmygosh is that a leaf? It's pretty! It doesn't feel like it's real...." and "Where'd you get that leaf??" I just thought it was so peculiar and funny. I later told Elaine (mag) about it and she was laughing lots and saying if she brought a leaf into her uni class they would respond, "Oh... Hey Elaine you have a leaf on your table" and then proceed to wipe if off. Hahaha.
cleaned my desk and wall!
I bought some flowers for myself on Saturday from the guy who sells them at the start of my street! I've been meaning to do this for agessss. I'm really happy with the ones I bought. They are purple mmmm! I walked by there yesterday and saw that he also sold poppies!! I'm going to buy those next time.
(I ALSO GOT MY SHOES FIXED FINALLY)
Elaine came down to visit meee this weekend! When she arrived I tried sneaking up on her... but she was all too aware of my habits and ended up sneaking up on me! We walked up and down Chapel street and ended up eating lunch at a Japanese restaurant. On the way there, I finally found the Prahran markets (now I know where to go to get fooood!) We had milkshakes at soda pop and the waiters started to dance just as we were heading out the door.
shaking his tail feathers
That evening was BSB. Just before we left home, Elaine said she had an early birthday present for meee ahh.
Mag always makes the most interactive cards. I have actually kept all of them! Anyway yes! She bought me my ticket for BSB! Ahhh. (We also saw The Avengers but the day after. We were on the train together and she was like "I haven't seen a movie in ages, I was going to see The Avengers... But all my friends have seen it already!" and I was like "ME TOOOO LET'S GO!")
ANYWAY BSB.
It was NKOTB and BSB & Johnny Ruffo as the opening. Elaine didn't want to be late so we got there like... for the opening. I wasn't keen at all seeing Johnny but it was actually hilarious. One of the songs he sung actually had the lyrics "When I'm on top of you giiiirl. I'm on top of the woooorrld." and another was called "DTF" - classy stuff man.
I only knew one of NKOTB's songs but they did a super good job preforming and involving the audience.
BSB was great... I was looking at Elaine when they came on and she was screaming her lungs out and when she looked at me she had tears in her eyes. I was laughing soooo hard. I almost started crying because it was so so lovely to see her so excited and also for me to be super happy too!
The show was great. I kept looking at the stage and lighting and I my mind kept thinking about how it could relate to the studio proposition. I wrote down some notes and I think it might lead me in a better direction.
It was coming to the end of the show and they still hadn't played Backstreets Back and I was telling myself "NO DON'T YOUR HOPES UP. They might not play it..." and Elaine was yelling at me (cus it was so loud) "NAH THEY WILL THEY WILL." and I was so so convinced they wouldn't.. But they did and died a bit from happiness.
After the show Mag was asked me, "so how did you manage to see Brian after the show??" and I was like "I got out of the place QUICKLY and then he and the others just drove past and Brian waved out of the window!"
Without really thinking that we would see them, we rushed outside and we were just about to cross the road when a van went past and the BSB were there and they waved out of the van. Elaine was like "OH MY GODDD!!" because they were only 2 meters from us. Can't believe it happened again.
We ran back into the city (took a jog by the lake because we had so much energy in us) and walked around the in night for a while. Secretly hoping we'd see them out and about.
We went home, showered and I fell asleep straight away. I had a lot of dreams that night. In one of them I was with a few friends (I know them in real life but I don't remember who they were... Just their atmosphere) We saw the sun setting and it was very beautiful so we flew up into the sky to take better photos. I've had a similar dream where the same person was there and she told me I should fly above the layer of clouds so I could get better photos. So in this dream I did. A lot of my dreams continue on like that.
We were starving in the morning, so I took Elaine to Green's Refectory (Sydney Road. Right near Jewell Station).
what we shared
We had pancakes as our brunch. It was so so good. The food there is always really yum. It's always very popular so we were lucky to get a table.
A lot of interesting topics arose during our time together. All of which are still processing.
a life
I have been drawing more, too. I will continue because I want to get better at communicating and also because i feel like i don't draw enough.
"are you drawing me?"
"no"
i mean yes : )
ALSO:
I wrote that I went to a life drawing class with Elise a couple weeks back. Here are a couple of the 5 minute drawings I did.
