Eurovision!!

by admin on May 27, 2006

Hello

So, I haven’t written anything in ages. So sue me.

Okay, okay, I’m sorry, but it has to be done. The Eurovision Song Contest were on last week. Yes, I am ashamed to admit it, but, as interesting as I’m sure Todd and Brant’s interview was, I watched the Eurovision Song Contest instead. Sad, I know. But now you know.

High Points of the Eurovision Song Contest:
- Germany’s entry. It was a really cool country song. My dad said the singer was an Aussie (what does that say about Aussies, eh? We beat all of Germany.)
- The English commentator. Hilarious. He’d only talk every now and then, but it was really funny. Favourite comments include: “this next song is a lot more fun to sing than it is to listen to” and … okay, memory failure.

Low Points of the Eurovision Song Contest:
- I have a question. Remember the Ketchup Song? (My class had to do that stupid dance that goes with it in front of the entire grade in year seven. I’m still seeing my therapist about that.) Was it Las Ketchup that sang it? I’m almost positive it was. Well, guess what group was Spain’s entry? Yay!! The return of the Sauce Girls! Honestly though, the song wasn’t actually that bad. I was just suffering really traumatic flashblacks. And laughing really hard, cause they all looked the same height, but they were all in platform stilettos, except for one who was in flat shoes.

Points that cracked me up in the Eurovision Song Contest:
- The song? ‘We are the Winners’. The chorus? ‘We are the winners…of Eurovision. We are, we are.) Repeat x10) The verses? ‘Vote for the winners…of Eurovision.’ (Repeat x10) Funny thing? They didn’t win.
- The Greek host wore a metallic silver suit. No, I am not joking.

Reading back through that, there’s not much good stuff in there. So: I really liked the UK’s one. I had to dance while lying on the floor. Please, for your own safety, DO NOT TRY THAT AT HOME. There was also another one in there (a non- English- speaking country – in Eastern Europe maybe?) and the guy had a fantastic voice. I liked it.

Winners:Finland. The only one I didn’t actually like. A bunch of people dressed up in monster costumes which resembled the Orc’s from the Lord of the Rings movies, screaming out this really heavy rock song. Not my kind of thing. But they kicked everyone else’s butts, so their monster thing worked for them. I’m gonna try and look up a picture.

I’m so watching it again next year.

Bye.

Markets, Cats and PE

by admin on May 15, 2006

Hello

So. Mum and I went to the markets to sell stuff on Mothers Day. We went to Lennox Head which is way down past Byron Bay. We’ve never been there before, so we thought got hopelessly lost on the way down. Even though we weren’t… yeah.

It turns out that Mother’s Day is a really stupid day to do the markets. No one goes. They’re all too busy taking their mums out to breakfast and lunch and stuff. So we sat. And we sat. And we sat.

You know what the really sad part is? That ‘so we sat. And we sat. And we sat.’ thing? That’s a slightly adjusted quote from my favourite of all the Golden Circle little kiddy books, ‘Lavender the Library Cat’…that reads ‘so she sat. And she sat. And she sat.’

Okay, you can stop laughing now.

Really.

Please?

So… what else has been going on?
In PE my all – girls class is doing rugby union and AFL. I wouldn’t have thought it would be my kind of thing, but it is SO much fun. Because seriously, how often do we girls get a chance to tackle?? All I can say is thank god there’s no guys in the class. One really sad thing though, which made me feel that the whole feminist thing has all been in vain? The south coast rugby union trials were on at the same time as our class, so half the girls, most likely more, refused to play, and instead sat down on the edge of the guys field for half the lesson. It was way better without them, though.

I’ve just been hit by a fresh wave of pre- Japan- excitedness. I’ve found out that, so far anyway, I’m the only one going in Term Four, which sorta sucks, but I’m still happy. Yay!!

I’m sorry that this post is so all over the place, but really, all I can say is ‘nah nah nah nah nah’ (please imagine me poking out my tongue too).

Bye.

Hello

by admin on May 10, 2006

I just saw one of those anti- zit ads on TV. Some drop dead gorgeous girl on with perfect skin going on about her HUGE zit ( which noone but the girl in question can actually see). And just before the party!! Oh no, my life is so, like, totally over!! Thank goodness for the new Clearasil!! I hate those ads.

I’m sorry, but I really had to say that.

And I don’t actually have anything else to say, so

Toodaloo.

Stupid Blazers…

by admin on May 1, 2006

Okay, okay, I wore the stinking blazer.

They’re hot, they’re sticky and just plain annoying. But they do have pockets on the inside. And we lost the debate, but I was sort of expecting that anyway.

Yeah…that’s pretty much all I have to say…

Wasn’t that exciting?

Buh bye.
