That was actually me who said that. I had work today, and I was working with someone I hadn't seen since the Christmas party last year. Turns out she got her hair cut. This is going to be a relatively short post, because I have French homework to do. And a maths test tomorrow. Yes, my teacher is cruel enough to give us a test on Trigonometry the first lesson back for the term.
First day back at school was awesome, because it's Day 2 of the timetable, which means double English, triple spare, geography. During one of my spares, I was updating Twitter about the status of my homework (not done), and I got a text message (even though we're not allowed phones in the library, the librarians and I are good friends - except they didn't see me using the phone). I thought to myself "I bet Kat has sent me a direct message from Twitter, and it'll say something about me being back at school". I was half right. It was from Kat, and it said "FAIL :P" which I thought was hilarious, so I'm keeping it.
Mike (I'm going to make sure that you read this now): I may have time to speak to you on weekends, but not much. Certainly not this weekend, I have music camp.
That's something exciting that is happening. Yesterday (Monday) was the only day this week that I did not have rehearsal for some sort of choir. The music concert is in nine days, no wonder I'm freaking out. Anyway, I am at school for half of the weekend singing songs. At least I'm in Swing, and we get to sing fun stuff like Hairspray and Wicked. (And the Mandy Moore/A Walk to Remember version of Only Hope, which isn't as good as the Switchfoot one. But I'm biased.)
9 days until the concert means 10 days until the formal, which I'm really not looking forward to that much, because I hated last year's. That is because I had a nice dress, a massive allergic reaction on my legs, a hairstyle I didn't like and a date who didn't know anyone. I have solved most of the problems. I have another gorgeous dress, no date (which is overall a better idea when not many of your friends are taking dates. If David Tennant offered to take me to my formal, I would of course say yes.), I'm not waxing my legs this year, and I'm not going to leave it up to the hairdresser to decide how my hair is done.
Also, tomorrow is the birthday of both my sister Megan, who is turning 21, and Emma who is one of my bestest friends in the entire world, who is turning 18! So happy birthday to both of you if you are reading this, and I'm not saying anything about presents in case you happen to be reading this when it's still Tuesday.
There's not much else going on! Oh wait, yesterday, as well as being the anniversary of Deathly Hallows was Maddy's birthday party. Which is quite ironic, because Maddy is opposed to Harry Potter due to her religious beliefs, which is fair enough. And we get along quite well. She decided to have a kids' 18th party, so we had fun things like a pinata and played games such as Pass the Parcel, Balderdash and Twister (yes, I may have just nearly typed Twitter). We also played the peg game, in which you started with 5 pegs, and if you said Maddy, Madeleine, MadCar, or any other variation of her name, you lost a peg. So Em and I were the first ones there, and I asked if we could call her Travis. (Em and I spent an hour and a half on public transport to get there). Guess what? I started a trend! By the end of the party, everyone was calling Maddy "Travis", and she even started answering to it.
Schoolies is still not organised, and Meagan and Heather want to go camping at the Cathedral Ranges. Sorry, if I'm going away for schoolies, I don't want to go camping, even if it's luxury camping. Camping's fun and all, but not for schoolies. I can understand if they don't want to get drunk and get raped for schoolies, but couldn't we do something other than go camping? Here's the thing about schoolies: you don't actually have to get drunk. I think that's all for today, I blog on nerdy strangers tomorrow.

[16/07/08] A kamikaze scone tried to attack me
I put that title in just for kicks. I don't know if I can think of enough quotes to put them all in as post titles on a regular basis. Once a week is enough. Though I am a quote collector. I actually ran out of space in my school diary in May.
I remember what I was doing this time three years ago actually. I was at Amy's house watching TV while she was reading Half-Blood Prince (I had already finished it). The thing is, I really wanted to talk about it with someone, but had lack of a person to talk about it with. So when I got home the next day, my sister was ready to talk. That's the thing about having siblings. Unless you want to buy multiple copies of the book, you have to wait. So should I start a reread of Half-Blood Prince tonight and have it done by Monday, which is the year anniversary of the Deathly Hallows release? Probably not, as I have English first thing on Tuesday and I should finish The Secret River, as well as annotate it.
One other thing I have noticed about July is that there are a lot of birthdays. And actually, most of the people I know who have birthdays in July share them with someone else I know. That was some pointless blabber right there. I need to get three presents by Monday, because that's when Maddy's party is. Which reminds me that I need to RSVP. It's not like I haven't had the invitation for a week. Why is everyone turning 18 or 21? And why is it so hard to think of presents for someone that I've known for most of my life?
You know what else is exciting? (Not that anything I've already written or am about to say is exciting at all) There are 97 days until I finish school, which terrifies me. And 107 days until exams. Or if you're American, you can be happy that there are only 107 days until Halloween. Speaking of school, why the hell wasn't I born in Queensland? First of all, I would have finished school already, as they don't do Prep. Though Prep was fun. And holiday homework? No such thing. Or maybe I should move to Canberra. The ACT is so small that they don't have external examinations. The downside of this is that I would have to move to Canberra.
Dum de dum de dum de... this is a first. Me not knowing what to write about on a blog. I'm going to see Wicked tomorrow night! That's exciting. Like really really exciting. Actually, my mum and I have kind of crap seats and then the very next day they released new tickets for about another month. Then Kim laughed at me. I might go and see it with her anyway, as it's going to be in Melbourne for 12 months. Maybe we could see it about 4 times. We could have a Swing Choir excursion and all buy pencils. Which no one who reads this will understand, because they don't go to my school. And the funniest review of Wicked that I heard is that "Anthony Callea was born to play a munchkin"
Then I was lamenting that we don't have an Australian equivalent to Broadway or the West End. Though if we did, I would probably go broke and spend all my money on shows, because it would be in Melbourne. And Rocky Horror's coming to Melbourne later this year! I think I may be going with Megan and Byron, which would be different. Since I have not seen the movie for a while, they'll probably tie me up in a chair and make me watch it three times straight but let me get up to do the Time Warp. Which Caz didn't know how to do. I wonder if the Time Warp or the Macarena was more difficult to do in the aisle of a moving bus. I don't know, I only did the Macarena. But we filmed both of them.
Something that I wish would hurry up and get to Melbourne is Avenue Q, which scanalously picked up the Tony Award for Best Musical in 2003, when Wicked was the favourite to win it. At least Idina Menzel got Best Actress in a Musical. As Robyn's boyfriend said, it is probably the musical with the largest cult following of people who have never seen it. Good stuff. And Rent should be performed in Australia again, so I can see the stage show. It's leaving Broadway in September! That actually really saddens me. That musical got me through the second half of year 10, and I haven't really watched it much since.
What else is new? Nothing. Laura is getting a tattoo on Friday night. Yes, this is the Laura who came to the casino with me. Or I went to the casino with her. But yes. Not much else to say, unless I quote La Vie Boheme, which no one would believe, because I could just google the lyrics and paste them here.
Actually, one thing I would love to do if I had time and equipment to make YouTube videos would be to mock child popstars and trying to cover their first singles. You know, Nikki Webster, Britney, Christina, Robin Sparkles (even though that was a parody, it was so good).
