ELEVATION!
ELEV8 WAS AWESOME!
Danced LOADS and now am very, very sore. My legs are feeling buffer though! =)
Obviously, In true Newcastle fashion, hardly anyone danced. Most sat at the back texting or stood in the crowd taking myspace photos, looking overly self-conscious or sending "omg you freak" looks at anyone who actually looked like they were having fun.... but it was otherwise great.
Half our year was there I swear but they didn't really bother us. There was a bit of sleazy bogan action but it didn't ruin the night. =)
Spent our time either in the "pit" or dancing on the top tier, getting many, many strange looks *which only made it funner!)
All in all it was LOADS of fun and I can't wait for the next one!!

Aly's Top 5 Films of 2009!
1. BOAT THAT ROCKED! - Set in the 1960s.... Full of sex, drugs and best of all.... rock and roll! Brilliant cast and incredible soundtrack! (Apart from a stupid cover by "Duffy"...pfft) Had to see it twice!
2. WATCHMEN - A great looking film with very intelligent writing. I must admit to girly cringing during some of the fight scenes though. Also amazing use of The Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel.
3. UP - I'm not big on kids movies but i LOVE this. The characters where well developed and the story was really good. The montage at the beginning made me cry and there were some beautiful moments... plus who doesn't like a chipmunk-ed-rockweiler?
4. INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS - This was the first Tarantino movie I'd seen in the cinema and I have to say I was impressed. The suspense in the cottage scene was almost unbearable without losing momentum. The dialogue (as always) was fabulous and it wasn't as violent as his other work; which while some found disappointing, I appreciated. Though the scalping was totally ew-worthy. Also stood up to a re-watch! =)
5. SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE - Simply brilliant and deserved it's acclaim.
Also great were The Hangover, How to Lose Friends and Alienate People and Manufacturing Decent.

Weddings Parties Anything : For A Short Time
Sometimes you can say more, in a drunken hour or so
Than some people get across, in a life of lying low.
And sometimes you can feel more, for someone you've barley kissed,
but you don't see it at the time, and the moment that you've missed.
For a short time, she was standing there,
and you saw her, she saw you and you recall the colour of her hair.
For a long time, you never thought of her,
Then you heard she was gone for good,
You might have cried then if you could,
Would have looked foolish if you did, somewhere
The tears are falling in your mind,
For a short time.
There's a photo of your gang, on the night she hung about,
and you're looking like a wag, you've got your fat tongue poking out.
But she's no-where to be seen, you won't spot her anywhere.
It was her who took the picture, you were looking straight at her.
For a short time, she was standing there,
and you saw her, she saw you and you recall the colour of her hair.
For a long time, you never thought of her,
Then you heard she was gone for good,
You might have cried then if you could,
Would have looked foolish if you did, somewhere
The tears are falling in your mind,
For a short time.
Tell me how long is a short time, is it longer than two hours,
Or a bit less than a weekend. Is it shorter than a year?
Is it the time it takes to not complete your business with a person,
With a friend you make in transit,
to a daughter held so dear.

It's Too Late Now...
Last night I realised that I really, really need you...
Last night I also realised that you'll never really need me.
You asked and I denied...
It turns out I lied.

I'm Not That Girl - Wicked (My New Favorite Wicked Song)
Hands touch, eyes meet
Sudden silence, sudden heat
Hearts leap in a giddy whirl
He could be that boy
But I'm not that girl.
Don't dream too far
Don't lose sight of who you are
Don't remember that rush of joy
He could be that boy
I'm not that girl
Ev'ry so often we long to steal
To the land of what-might-have-been
But that doesn't soften the ache we feel
When reality sets back in
Blithe smile, lithe limb
She who's winsome, she wins him
Gold hair with gentle curl
That's the girl he chose
And heaven knows
I'm not that girl...
Don't wish, don't start
Wishing only wounds the heart
I wasn't born for the rose and pearl
There's a girl I know
He loves her so
I'm not that girl...
Sudden silence, sudden heat
Hearts leap in a giddy whirl
He could be that boy
But I'm not that girl.

Wicked Fun!

In year 10, cake in every class.
In year 10, rebellious japanese class!
In year 10, when relationships are serious.
In year 10, when relationships can break friendships.
In year 10, the time when you have already grown up, and realise, when it's already too late, how much you want to remain a child.
Remembering is a difficult thing to do, remembering st joeys brings a smile to my face, but it makes me cry a second later. I'm going to miss this school so much, and all the memories and joys it brought me."

Autumn's Monologue.
Oh why can't I be what you need?
A new improved version of me
But I'm nothing so good
No, I'm nothing
Just bones, a lonely ghost burning down songs
Of violence of love and of sorrow
I beg for just one more tomorrow
Where you hold me down, fold me in
Deep, deep, deep in the heart of your sins
I break in two over you, oh
I break in two
And each piece of me dies
And only you can give the breath of life
But you don't see me, you don't
Here I'm pinned between darkness and light
Bleached and blinded by these nights
Where I'm tossing and tortured 'til dawn
By you, visions of you then you're gone.
The shock bleeds the red from my face
When I hear someone's taken my place.
How could love be so thoughtless, so cruel?
When all, all that I did was for you
I break in two over you, oh
I break in two
And each piece of me dies
And only you can give the breath of life
But you don't see me, you don't
(x2)
I break in two over you, oh
I break in two over you, over you
I break in two
I would break in two for you
Now you see me
Now you don't
Now you need me
Now you don't...
A new improved version of me
But I'm nothing so good
No, I'm nothing
Just bones, a lonely ghost burning down songs
Of violence of love and of sorrow
I beg for just one more tomorrow
Where you hold me down, fold me in
Deep, deep, deep in the heart of your sins
I break in two over you, oh
I break in two
And each piece of me dies
And only you can give the breath of life
But you don't see me, you don't
Here I'm pinned between darkness and light
Bleached and blinded by these nights
Where I'm tossing and tortured 'til dawn
By you, visions of you then you're gone.

When I hear someone's taken my place.
How could love be so thoughtless, so cruel?

I break in two

And only you can give the breath of life
But you don't see me, you don't

I break in two over you, over you
I break in two

Now you see me
Now you don't
Now you need me
Now you don't...

Late Night Ramblings: Part #2
ok... i am usually quite good at being self critical but honestly... WHAT THE FUCK DO I DO WRONG?!
I mean it. I try so hard to be fair to people. To be kind where I can. To help people who need it. To be there for them and to not be a burden... BUT IT DOESNT WORK!
I just wish I could understand what I'm meant to do! I honestly give everyone I can a chance an yet people find it so easy to hate me!
I'm the first to admit that I bitch. Everyone does. I do it to vent because I'm non-confrontationalist... but I never set out to cause harm!
I tried playing politics and got it thrown in my face, I tried to be honest: it fell apart and when I tried to just do what I want it starts more trouble than there was originally!!!
I just don't understand what else I'm meant to do?!?
I listen, I advise if I can, I surrender when necessary. I put other people first, even if they don't know it, I watch other people live my dreams while I watch on in silence and I try not to bother people too much with my problems...
where do I go wrong?!

I listen, I advise if I can, I surrender when necessary. I put other people first, even if they don't know it, I watch other people live my dreams while I watch on in silence and I try not to bother people too much with my problems...
where do I go wrong?!

A Spell For Creation by Kathleen Raine
Within the flower there lies a seed,
Within the seed there springs a tree,
Within the tree there spreads a wood.
In the wood there burns a fire,
And in the fire there melts a stone,
Within the stone a ring of iron.
Within the ring there lies an O,
Within the O there looks an eye,
In the eye there swims a sea,
And in the sea reflected sky,
And in the sky there shines the sun,
Within the sun a bird of gold.
Within the bird there beats a heart,
And from the heart there flows a song,
And in the song there sings a word.
In the word there speaks a world,
A world of joy, a world of grief,
From joy and grief there springs my love.
Oh love, my love, there springs a world,
And on the world there shines a sun,
And in the sun there burns a fire,
Within the fire consumes my heart,
And in my heart there beats a bird,
And in the bird there wakes an eye,
Within the eye, earth, sea and sky,
Earth, sky and sea within an O
Lie like the seed within the flower.
Within the seed there springs a tree,
Within the tree there spreads a wood.
In the wood there burns a fire,
And in the fire there melts a stone,
Within the stone a ring of iron.
Within the ring there lies an O,
Within the O there looks an eye,
In the eye there swims a sea,
And in the sea reflected sky,
And in the sky there shines the sun,
Within the sun a bird of gold.
Within the bird there beats a heart,
And from the heart there flows a song,
And in the song there sings a word.
In the word there speaks a world,
A world of joy, a world of grief,
From joy and grief there springs my love.
Oh love, my love, there springs a world,
And on the world there shines a sun,
And in the sun there burns a fire,
Within the fire consumes my heart,
And in my heart there beats a bird,
And in the bird there wakes an eye,
Within the eye, earth, sea and sky,
Earth, sky and sea within an O
Lie like the seed within the flower.
That said....
Performed in music today and did rather well.....
Also Mrs Kikjo made us slice - Soooo Yummy!
Also Mrs Kikjo made us slice - Soooo Yummy!
Fuck Off! Fuck Off! Fuck Off! I Hate You!
OK.. things were starting to get back on track....
I finally booked my L's test, I've almost got most of the stuff I need for formal, I finally took steps to fix a longlived wrong, I did well enough in my exams and I'm fairly confident about school certificate... it just couldn't last...
ALL I wanted was to have a heap of people over for my formal after party; I wanted it to be a nice night where people can talk and remember and dance and have fun.....
So naturally somebody had to come along and ruin it. Out of (highly hypocrytical) spite.
Might I add how very much HATE this person.... oh so much...
JUST LET ME HAVE MY NIGHT!!!

LUCKY STIFF!
Went to Newcastle to see our music teachers musical today....
To Quoth Steffie: "Lucky Stiff was excellent! Miss Botham's voice is absolutely flawless! The harmonies were AMAZING to the point where they made me teary. It was a fantastic day in Newcastle and that is pretty much all I can say because I can hardly remember what happened and I'm really tired."

Bandanarama!
Today was BANDANA DAY!
We all bought bandanas to raise money for cancer research. Amy got a creepy one with faces on it and we worked out who was who and Steffie cut a mouth hole in hers and made a bandana-beard!
We also got some WONDERFUL news which made Bridget and I very very very happy! XD
Seeing Miss Botham's musical tomorrow with Amy, Steffie, Loui and Katrina... It's called Lucky Stiff..... should be lovely.
Ugh! Just realised SCs in a week but I just can't be bothered studying!

The Things We Do For...... Cash!!!
Today I spent FOUR HOURS trudging up and down Maitland High St; going in and out of shops asking the same damn thing:
"Will you give me a job?"
It was exhausting!
I was however, successful and now have to drop off about 40 copies of my resume to various businesses. FORTY! THATS FORTY OPPOTUNITIES!
And also forty chances for rejection. =(
I really hope i get a job or two because I AM SICK OF BEING BROKE!!!
It'll just be a pain in the ass doing the daily 2 hour bus ride. XZ
Ugh! Science tomorrow, haven't studdied, will probably fail miserably. =(
Also, Saw UP today. It was lovely and very, very sad! =D

Examinations and Enlightenment.
Examinations: Unfortunately, due to the sadistic nature of our teachers, our end of year exams commenced on the VERY first day back at school. So after two weeks of insanely busy but thoroughly enjoyable holidays, I had to spend the early hours of Monday morning cramming for Australian Geography and PDHPE. Neither of which I actually care about of course but my profound fear of failure does lend itself to panic sometimes... On the whole I think I did okay.... which means I probably failed.
I then had singing, which was really cool because I learnt more of one of my german exam piece and am finally starting to get the technical stuff down.
Then had to briefly visit the DELIGHTFUL Rutherford IGA which i swear boasts the biggest range of condoms in the southern hemisphere!
Spent Monday night sleeping, dying my hair (pic soon) and eating Encillatas! Yum!
Tuesday I had English and Religion. In English I wrote a story about World of Warcraft Addicts and Religion was cool cause there was a find-a-word! Double English was bludgy so i wrote the guest list out for my party! On Tuesday night my family went to the gym while I crammed for maths. Something I continued until 2:30am!!!
We had our Maths exam this morning and I think I did okay but during the exam someones phone kept going off and they wouldn't let us leave until someone owned up for it. Liam Allen ended up handinghimself in, but I think it was Jade. Then we had collapsed classes for 4 & 5 and I drew Louis Armstrong. I went home at lunch and got to sit and watch The Boat That Rocked (which is awesome!!!) while eating REALLY good hamburgers from next door. Was verygood after all the stress of Maths.
Then I spent the evening making invites for my after party, which I still don't like, and talking on MSN...
OH AND WATCHING JOHN SAFRAN'S RACE RELATIONS - which was very wrong but very, very funny!
NO SCHOOL TOMORROW! YAY! Elective exams are tomorrow and mine don't have tests this time! So I'm going to either go summer job hunting in Maitland or bake cookies, depending on when i wake up! =P
After that I only have to survive my science exam and I'm done! lol. Can't Wait.

Late Night Ramblings. Live from my mobile.
do you ever get the feeling that youre getting left behind? that life is going too quickly and you just cant catch up? thats how i feel right now. its strange. all my friends are out there living; getting their licenses, having sex and getting into relationship that seem more really than i can physically comprehend. and me? im almost 16 and a half, have no license, my virginity and, as much as i hate to admitt it, so lonely i could die. where did i go wrong?! i keep trying to change things but i never have any energy! i want to be pretty and everyday i hate myself a little bit more; more than people understand; but everytime i try i run flat! no matter what! i want to get my licence but honestly im terrorfied ill fail and i keep trying to practise but when i do, i panic and fail. WHY CANT IT JUST BE SIMPLE!? As for sex and relationships, i am pathetic. the disasterous ending of the closest thing ive had to a relationship (ergo, like a boyfriend i didnt actually like) has only confirmed that i fail at humanity... this in hand with being minorly obsessed with an ex-foe is in short, shit. i dont see how i can have these feeling for someone and they not feel anything in return! some people have suggested he feels the same but i refuse to believe this. soley because it what i want more than anything and i know that there is no way on earth he would like me back! how could he!? i dont even like me! it hurts too much to hope. to add insult to injury, my voice is playing around and being verrrry unpredictible and not being able to sing make me feel worse than anything. WHY CANT IT JUST LET UP ON ME!? I JUST WANT MY LIFE TO BE RIGHT FOR ONCE! is it that much to ask? xoxo Aly

I have truely been a lazy blogger indeed! =P
My last blog was about my week in Canberra............ wow.......... seems like a lifetime ago!
That was followed by a week at Crescent's Head (which is stunning) and then my brothers birthday.
The next week school went back and we had SNOW TRIP which was too good to explain! After that we came back to Boganville for NERDFEST aka. the science and engineering challenge; in which we came second. That Wednesday we had a TOTALLY boring geography excursion but laying around in foreshore park in the sunshine didn't totally suck! =P That Friday we sang at the Mary Mackillop Vigil mass at the Sacred Heart cathedral in Newcastle; it was both disturbing (cause its church) and awesome (because we [our choir] are...) and we had yucky soup (it had mushrooms) and really good bread rolls and yuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmyyyyyyyyy chocolate cake!
This week has been a blur. I was whacked in the back of the head with a soccer ball on Monday in PE which left me to do my biodiversity test with a concussion. It was FUN!
I don't remember Tuesday or Wednesday. lol.
Thursday, I (hopefully) didn't flunk my math test (which probably means I epically failed! lol) then had non-class classes and my guitar lesson. I'm sooo happy because I can almost play Blackbird by the Beatles and am now learning Under the Bridge by RHCP!!! Then worked on my silver ring in VD (Which is actually looking kinda cool!) and then had choir rehearsal in the new COLA (which i quite like...) then went home and got ready to go back for St Joeys on Show. Which would have been a good night if more people came!!! Either way i got to play First Day of My Life and got applause and everything!!! Then went home ate pizza and fell into bed.
Today after dragging myself to school, we helps set up the COLA and went over our song for liturgy. Standard boring-as-shit christian stuff. At least i got to play tambourine!!! lol.
Jammed with the girls (Amy, Shelly and Steffie) and Abbey and Joss during the Student VS Teacher footy game; which totally intimidated the kids from St Mary's Gateshead (who wear reallllllllly short skirts :S). We then took the Choral Spectacular by storm which was AMAZING and we got the most incredible applause afterwards! Then got changed for a repeat of the St Joeys on Show performances and I was SOOOOOO nervous that i screwed up the guitar in my solo but finally got to play Fallen - It was PERFECT!!! I've rarely felt better!!!! Singing on stage is the most amazing feeling ever!!!
Everyone was sooooo fabulous and looked amazing and had a great day!!
Thank you to EVERYONE - it really was a special day!!!

Well.
I got home from a week in Canberra today.
For those who don't know, I lived there before I Was sentenced to live in this hell hole.
We spent our time shopping and hanging and stuff and it was wonderful!
SUNDAY: Listened to Hottest 100 countdown all the way there. Had dinner with my Grandparents in Sydney. Nana even said I looked nice. Family singalong to Bohemian Rhapsody by QUEEN. Got angry at the sheer AMOUNT of Jeff Buckley songs in the countdown. Nirvana and Rage Against the Machine made up for it. Grandpa looked a lot better, I don't know if he is though. Got to Carolyn's place at 11:30pm and watched South Park and text-ed till 4am!
MONDAY: Hung out at ANU, and found a combined International Relations/Visual Arts degree, so I'm now seriously considering doing it (if i get the right UAI!) then went QUESTACON!!! and got sucked into doing a really long survey at the National Library. They have yummy cupcakes.
TUESDAY: Went shopping at Canberra Centre and got 2 CDs (Something with Numbers and Regina Spektor) and a book called How I Live Now, browsed at Belconnen and tried on some TRUELY beautiful dresses, ALL of which i managed to make look dreadful. Dragged our gear to the Gee residence and had fish and chips for dinner.
WEDNESDAY: Saw Harry Potter 6, IT WAS GREAT! =D Then hung at Intensity (an arcade) for a bit and played Dance Dance Revolution for $1!!! Played Wii Super Mario Kart and now want one =P. Chaser was HILARIOUS but they only have two shows left....=(!!!
THURSDAY: Mum ditched us to go skiing, so we hung with the boys and played Wii and went to the park to play soccer for a bit.
FRIDAY: Shopping at Belconnen while the boys were at Intensity, bought another 2 CDs (Hilltop Hoods and Little Birdy) and kicked Mini's ass at air hockey! Visited Canberra Uni but wasn't very impressed with it. Then went to hang with Maddy which was awesome!! We talked and watched Rad Dwarf and Black Books!! It was great to see that even though we hadn't seen each other for four years we were still friends!! Hung out with the boys and played cluedo after dinner and talked with mum for a bit in bed. Started reading How I Live Now.
SATURDAY: Got up, packed, left, finished reading How I Live Now, it was great Came home and got in a fight with mum. Went to Mai-well debate with Prillz which was awesome and met Mikey Robbins and Jean Kittson and got autographs, photos and a pic with their limo! Such a great night, ruined by mum's bitchiness when we got home.
I forgot how much I miss Canberra and now feel totally shit. At least we're off to Crescent's Head tomorrow so I won't be here for long. :)
Looking forward to snow trip first week back and WOULD feel good about Pat's party if it didn't mean missing SWN at Panthers!!! *GRR*

I've already seen a true romance... And it don't look like that!
I do not believe romance is dead.It has merely got a new wardrobe, changed its name, packed and moved states. In short, its changed.
Epic, windswept romances (in the style titanic and gone with the wind) are too extravagant for our now cynical view of the world. But even though our passion for grand gestures is gone romance is not.We loose romance when we loose our ability to see it in new forms; to see beauty the of love when it isn't wrapped up in ribbon and covered in glitter.
For example: I was in Sydney recently and while walking though Hyde park to catch my bus to oxford street, I saw a little old lady and a little old man sitting on a park bench. They were holding hands and the lady had her head on the mans shoulder. They just sat there and watched the pigeons by the fountain and talked quietly to each other. They seemed totally and utterly happy and at peace in each others company. I see this as real romance.
Real romance isn't about grand gestures, its the little things.
Why write your lovers name in the stars when you could lay under those same stars with them in your arms?
Why give someone the world when all they want is you?
Romance is not dead. We have simply forgotten where to find it.
And as no one knows romance like musicians....
"I remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning
And I thought it was strange
You said everything changed
You felt as if you'd just woke up
And you said, This is the first day of my life,
Glad I didn't die before I met you
But now I don't care I could go anywhere with you
And I'd probably be happy."
First Day of My Life by Brighteyes.
"You could be my unintended
Choice to live my life extended
You should be the one I'll always love."

"Close your eyes and I’ll kiss you,
Tomorrow I’ll miss you;
Remember I’ll always be true.
And then while I’m away,
I'll write home ev'ry day,
And I’ll send all my loving to you."
All My Loving by The Beatles
Epic, windswept romances (in the style titanic and gone with the wind) are too extravagant for our now cynical view of the world. But even though our passion for grand gestures is gone romance is not.We loose romance when we loose our ability to see it in new forms; to see beauty the of love when it isn't wrapped up in ribbon and covered in glitter.
For example: I was in Sydney recently and while walking though Hyde park to catch my bus to oxford street, I saw a little old lady and a little old man sitting on a park bench. They were holding hands and the lady had her head on the mans shoulder. They just sat there and watched the pigeons by the fountain and talked quietly to each other. They seemed totally and utterly happy and at peace in each others company. I see this as real romance.
Real romance isn't about grand gestures, its the little things.
Why write your lovers name in the stars when you could lay under those same stars with them in your arms?
Why give someone the world when all they want is you?
Romance is not dead. We have simply forgotten where to find it.
And as no one knows romance like musicians....
"I remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning
And I thought it was strange
You said everything changed
You felt as if you'd just woke up
And you said, This is the first day of my life,
Glad I didn't die before I met you
But now I don't care I could go anywhere with you
And I'd probably be happy."

If I'd known you'd read it I would have been FAR more creative... =P
As for the person who told her.... THANKS.... You've really boosted my readership!
