Christmasssssss

Merry Christmas
I tried my best to have a good day. It was pretty decent, apart from when my sister tried to throw fly spray at me.
I have decided, she's not mentally ill, (Well she is, I accept this fully, she does not). She's just a brat, and I am done with it. I am going to join a support group, and if that does not suffice, I will make my own, there is surely the market for one these days. 'Siblings that are over 'mental illness' white elephant and just want to get the fuck on with there lives'. STAOMIWEAJWTGFOWTL. Hmmm, that has a nice ring to it.
Well anyway, in another note, here's what's been going down.
Graduation was fucking amazing, I loved it.

2008, the year that was.

So it's time for the end of year wrap-up. What went down

Top 5 2008 moments
1. Graduation was pretty rad.
2. As was the Parade.
3. Queensland baby!
4. The day of my birthday, having cake at work.
5. Sydney

Top 5 Albums
1. Say Anything- In Defense of the Genre. Fuck this album simply blows my mind.
2. Coheed and Cambria- . I think it came out late '07, but I only bought it this year. So glad I did.
3. Less than Jake- GNV FLR. It's not amazing, but kills the pitfull previous release.
4. The Gaslight Anthem- The '59 Sound. Such romance and storytelling!
5. A tie between Bayside- Shudder, and Fall Out Boy- Folie a Duex.

Top Five Shows
1. Coheed and Cambria @ Billboards. Easily wins.
2. City and Colour @ Soundwave. Oh how we love you Dallas...
3. The Grates @ The HiFi. Yeah!
4. The Matches @ Soundwave. For owning the Offspring.
5. LCD Soundsystem at the Big Day Out. I was more us dancing like tools, which lead to a crowd forming around us, that made this show good.

Top 5 Predictions for 2009.
1. Soundwave is going to be killer. Twice!
2. Getting a grad job will also rule. When it happens.
3. Credit card gone in 12 months!
4. My car is going to die soon. But that means a new car!
5. New opportnities, friends and experiences.

Blogging again

I thought I better fill in some blanks. I have alot of free time up my sleeve these days.
I finished Uni over two weeks ago, and haven't wrote in this thing in agessss.
I am feeling SO much better than now I've finished. No stress!
I'm not that ready to get a grad job yet, but if I haven't found one by March, thats when I'll start to panic. No Delta Goodrem Syndrome* here!
I've had a look around, and my mind needs to work out what it wants to do. Or my dream job needs to appear.
I think I need to re-asses my goals, and make plans.
Right now I have holiday plans. In no particular order I wish to-
-Catch up on Tv on DVD.
-Pay a large chunk of my credit card off. I haven't many shifts so this has been delayed. Tear.
-Catch up with friends. I seem to have lost a few this year. But some are just as awesome!
-Make clothes. 1st start, bathers.
-Make a kick-ass resume and business crap with cool graphics.
-Make Xmas cookies. Though I really don't feel like spreading the love at my place of work these days.
-Get Fit. Fashion makes you fat people!
-Make my america scrap book. It's only been 15 months!

Well that is my plan on non-action for the next chunk of my life before joining the adult world.

NB-* Delta Goodrem syndrome is the name I give for Gen Y feeling the intense pressure to succeed, ie, Career, House, Travel, Marriage, etc. at such a young age. Slow the fuck down kids! We've got our whole lives ahead of us.

Uni is over.

So thats what I've been up to lately.
Good old Uni.
Now its over.

The past few months

Can be summed up in this photo

Letter I cut and pasted

Dear Miss Simone
I thought I’d type you up a letter seeing as I’m not doing anything else. It’s 10:40 on a Saturday night and I’m doing nothing. It’s pretty sad. I’m not sure how it came to this but at least I am not wasting money and absorbing Kilojoules of beer. I got a heap on new music today so I will share with you. You might not dig it, but It will kill some time non the less.

How is sunny Queensland treating you? And the traineeship?  I think it’s a good thing what you’re doing, very character defining, something to tell your kids about one day. But as we were saying, you still get to have a life of your own .Speaking of lives, I really got to get one. I am going to turn into a hermit in a minute.It would be really cool if you came down. We could go and have a bit of a gig and ‘make out with babes’ and our wardrobes would double for the week.

I’m not sure what else to tell you. I think I told it all on the phone. I really wish I was in the states right now, everyone that went back to camp keeps writing about it on facebook, it’s depressing.

This letter is not going to be that uplifting, I’ll try to lift the mood.
I think I need some more good in my life, but only I can change that. Uni is such a drainer, I don’t think I could work at a place like Stussy for long. But yeah, the parade in September should be hella exciting, hopefully my work gets in the Herald Sun or something like that. That would rule

I am listening to City and Colour right now. Dallas! This music is just so amazing, Its not just because its Dallas of Alexis and he’s so pretty, because we play this CD and work, and my friend Shannon, who listens to Silverchair and Nova and the like, fell in love with it the first time she heard it and but it today. Well yes that’s a bit of random info for you!

Well I am beginning to ramble, so all I will say is I miss you like a limb, I can’t wait to we get to hang out again, and go for drives, my car misses you, and seeing as I don’t have a life we can take your parents out again!! Ha ha that was a good night. You’re lucky they’re pretty cool. I hope you’re doing ok in Yandaran, you have your fan club there, its always good when people dig your shit.  See you soon I hope
Love Eloise

June 13th

Was the day I flew out to the States last year.
I think of that trip at least weekly. I miss my friends, camp and the places I saw.
I want to be anywhere but the cold winter of Melbourne.
I am hoping this is the main influence of my shitty mood lately. I am so snappy and for anyone near me I applogise. I need to tackle uni with a new angle in order to get my piece of paper and get out of there. Someone take this bad mood away from me.
