okay so you know how i mentioned going to see my friend's band live and accidentally missing their entire set? WELLLL guess who i got to see live for real this time last weekend! they were super good & it was generally a very fun experience . it amazes me how talented my friends are sometimes

( rambling on about life and things )

OKAYYY thats all. i must go now... hope youre having a good day, whoevers reading this :-)

general life updatez: got an A+ on my video essay about representation of homosexuality in 80s-90s TV comedy YIPPEE 🎉 i knew being insanely autistic about comedy would come in handy one day. also got a B+ for the doco about my sister’s professional pokemon playing which is pretty awesome… aaand got an A on my essay for literature. im kind of on a roll here 🔥 fingers crossed the trend continues with the chemistry assessment i have today… and the maths one i had last week (which was actually pretty okay! partially because i was able to have a fast-acting adhd tablet beforehand unlike last time, so i could actually focus. and also it was just an easier topic)

the weekend just passed i went to a convention which was fun! i cosplayed dave strider and met one other dave cosplayer plus a sollux and a terezi :-D the number of hs cosplayers at cons is dwindling a bit i think but the hs fans remain… i was complimented on my cosplay by several people including someone who got out their karkat plush to show me, so that was cool! and a couple of artists i’d bought from before recognised me which was also quite fun (one person gave me a free bag and some stickers bc i was in hs cosplay as well which was pretty neat)

aaagh i’m rambling. but oh well that’s what this is for right? anyway yeah the con was fun, i went with 2 of my irl friends + we met another person we’re kinda friends with that we met a couple of cons ago

uhh ya that’s all for now… this term is almost over so i may have more to talk about soon!

OH YEAHHH also. i think i’m getting a cold… :’D hell world

yet again i find myself putting off working on an assignment due extremely soon. i need to finish editing my one minute documentary for media but i dont wannaaaa. because adobe premiere pro is a sick and twisted program that is actively annoying to use . but the doco is due at 11:59pm tonight AKA in 7 1/2 hours so . i must do something (i also would prefer to not submit it totally last minute so realistically ive got a bit less time)

first of all: turns out my art research project thing isn't due for another 10 DAYS. i'd already almost finished it by the time my teacher revealed this information online literally a few minutes ago but still YIPPEE!!!

anyway in other more big news: the day before yesterday, friday, was the first day back to school after the summer holidays! i won't lie it was kind of very tiring because i hadn't gotten re-adjusted to the general noise and business of school yet, so by my last class i was kind of dying and couldn't rrreally understand half of what i could hear (exacerbated by being in french class), but i suppose that's just something i'll have to deal with for the first few days or maybe a week until i get back into the groove of things.

it was awesome getting to see all my friends in person again though, and i can safely say i'm genuinely excited for the fact that for the next 9 or so weeks i'll get to be around my friends at least 5 days a week. ALSO there was a new guy who sat with me and my friends in the canteen at lunch, which was pretty awesome. by "new guy" i mean both new to sitting with us and new to the school as a whole, it was his first day. he moved here from dubai which is neat

aaand lastly can i just say it is SO. HOT. where i am right now. and will continue to be for the next several days. yesterday im fairly sure it was nearly 40° (celcius) and right now its around 35°, give or take. i'm not exactly overheating or anything since i'm inside with the aircon on, but still. also having the aircon on makes literally everything, including food, weirdly moist and it's very annoying. i'm guessing it's got something to do with the humidity... maybe it's not the aircon at all but the hot weather itself. hm...

i finished all my maths and french stuff about a week ago and i’ve made plenty of progress on my art project but i still need to actually turn it into something presentable and not just writing in my book, and my media project is. frighteningly incomplete. i need to plan out this documentary & probably do another film inspo study but i 1. have NO ideas for my documentary and 2. for some reason really dont want to do another film inspo study. EVEN THOUGH I LIKE DOING THEM ONCE I GET STARTED. 

hopefully writing this down and putting it in my journal will make me hold myself accountable and actually do some more work on them soon. because they are kind of sort of due in 3 days 😭 

in other news, my friends’ band has their first ever gig tomorrow, which i *might* be able to go to, so that’s cool. AND ALSO SOMETHING I COMPLETELY FORGOT TO SAY HERE THAT’S ACTUALLY QUITE BIG NEWS: I’M GOING TO SEE FRANZ FERDINAND LIVE LATER THIS YEAR !!!! despite the fact that so far afaik they haven’t announced anything here in australia, i’m going to be in europe for a few weeks later this year and by some wonderful twist of fate have gotten tickets to see them then. which is AWESOME (i still hope they come to australia at some point tho)

Hiiii i'm still alive i prommy. i just forgot about dreamwidth for one million years

anyway ya hellooo ive gotten very into comedy as of late (moreso even than before, somehow). hence the david mitchell icon

idk what else to say i just wanted to establish that i havent completely forgotten this place lol. OH YEAH ALSO! i bought this awesome book on html web page building from an op shop a couple of weeks ago and it's been so so so helpful and interesting. theres a franz ferdinand facts website ive made which im improving a lot, i might share it here some time... ANYWAYYY byeee have a good day or night gamers o7

guess who’s got covid!!! yup it’s meeeeee
had to stay home today & the last couple of days i’ve been getting lots of aches and pains n all that.. now i’m mainly just coughing a ton

in better news, i finally watched 2001: a space odyssey today ‼️ i loved it >:) i’ve also been watching a criminal amount of would i lie to you lately, so that’s fun

not gonna lie i was entirely unaware of the global IT outage until a friend sent a message about it... i wasnt asleep or anything it happened in the middle of the day for me i was just too busy watching tv to notice lmao

anyway here's hoping the outage doesn't like. cause the end of the world or something LOL. or maybe the next great depression, as one of my friends suggested

the world is so wonderful man. today i went to some bushland and it was really lovely and then just now i had a really nice interaction on the internet ... the world is great sometimes for real . and yesterday i downloaded a ton more songs to my mp3 player also

rn my sister and dad are also yelling at each other for the millionth time this month which is not so great but look. you win some you lose some

*horse face* how hungry
