Life:

My Life is Average.com♥
Days off when you need it the most ♥
Cheesy apocalyptic movies, like 2012 ♥
Knowing that I can at least resist Facebook for 4 days ♥
Sexy, but slightly slutty black dresses ♥
The thrill of being praised for something you thought you sucked at ♥
A Very Potter Musical and anything Team Starkid-related ♥

amazing. Catch them on Youtube! Just search for 'A Very Potter Musical'.

shoulders hunched, but I'm feeling good.

Basically yesterday was just amazing, after a really long and stressful week and in anticipation of the upcoming school week. I'll just recount what I did yesterday.

Had a day out with these amazing people at Siam, then went over to Eye's house. It was actually my first time hanging out with them outside of school and boy am I taking with me memories that I'll remember forever. It reminds me that the things I love doesn't have to be only things, but also people.

Love you all!

and what's high school without fleeting crushes?

We love Mr. Roche!

We were talking about the ten commandments and how we should apply some kind of rules to the cleanliness and attitude in the sixth form centre, and it got me thinking. I should do some kind of ten commandments for my life. Not resolutions or suggestions, but commandments. "Thou shalt not kill" just doesn't cut it for me, I can't not do that, mosquitoes are just irritating and I have to squish them.

Long unflattering robes and long treks up the mountain? No offense, but no thanks.

No, these would be very different, tailored to me, and only me. But what rules should I live by? How should I structure this?

It's just musings for now. I will come back to this later.

Things I Love Sunday!
Life:

A hot cup of green tea when you can feel the air con filtering from the living room while it's off in your bedroom. It feels like you're kinda stealing the aircon. ♥

Chloe Fidler's MSN conversations with me. ♥

My Facebook Family ♥

Looking at Christmassy things whilst it is still November ♥

A Cappella Jamming sessions with Art and Joanna whilst annoying the Year 13s with our singing ♥

Finishing off a last minute essay just as the school bell goes ♥

Getting your paycheque after it being half an hour late and constant worrying that your money will get lost ♥

Photos:

Wasting time during free periods.

Unexpected meetings whilst on a tuk tuk.

Having the best group of friends to act crazy with.

Black and White photoshoots.

kisses and hugs, y'all.

poetry to procrastinate.

I do not love you except because I love you;
I go from loving to not loving you,
From waiting to not waiting for you
My heart moves from cold to fire.

I love you only because it's you the one I love;
I hate you deeply, and hating you
Bend to you, and the measure of my changing love for you
Is that I do not see you but love you blindly.

Maybe January light will consume
My heart with its cruel
Ray, stealing my key to true calm.

In this part of the story I am the one who
Dies, the only one, and I will die of love because I love you,
Because I love you, Love, in fire and blood.

- Paolo Neruda

If I could write words
Like leaves on an autumn forest floor,
What a bonfire my letters would make.

If I could speak words of water,
You would drown when I said
"I love you."

- Spike MIlligan

Not a red rose or a satin heart.

I give you an onion.
It is a moon wrapped in brown paper.
It promises light
like the careful undressing of love.

Here.
It will blind you with tears
like a lover.
It will make your reflection
a wobbling photo of grief.

I am trying to be truthful.

Not a cute card or a kissogram.

I give you an onion.
Its fierce kiss will stay on your lips,
possessive and faithful
as we are,
for as long as we are.

Take it.
Its platinum loops shrink to a wedding-ring,
if you like.

Lethal.
Its scent will cling to your fingers,
cling to your knife.

- Carol Ann Duffy

take this sinking boat and point it home.

Favourite tracks of the week! I'll try to choose a few every week according to my mood, they are not always the latest tracks but they are songs that pop into my head or I hear on the radio and stuff. The youtube clips are there plus a little bit of commentary from me.

Low Rising by The Swell Season

Because I love 'Falling Slowly', it's a gorgeous song, and I felt that this new one didn't disappoint. I have to say though, I was a little upset when I found out Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova broke up. Still beautiful music though.

I Want You To by Weezer featuring Sara Bareilles

A little bit of an upbeat tune, I love Sara Bareilles in her slow, moving ballads and her fun, quirky uptempo love songs. Add some Weezer into the mix and you have a winner of a track. I really like this.

Did it Again by Shakira

Ok, would it be fair for me to say that I fell in love with the video first, then the song! It's quite smart and quite sad, this track, and very different from the 'Whenever, Wherever' days of Shakira. It's obvious she has matured musically and I like it! Besides that, the bed choreography in this video is just, hot.

The End.

love is like an onion.

My first 'Things I Love Sunday' post. I think the name says it all really, its a round-up of the things I have fallen in love with for the week, and might or might not fall out of love with later. But it's good to flick back and remember.

Life: Getting dirty feet in a drama rehearsal on a Sunday when you're tired and you can't stand those darn flip flops anymore ♥ Realising that you are completely over your unrequited crush and you're ready for anything ♥ Being able to cheer up a friend when she's down and make her smile ♥ Warm fuzzy hugs from Chris (because he gives the best ones) ♥ Not trick or treating.

Photos:

Trip to Singapore for Drama with the bush family, best times ever.

From New Resolution, and it is so true.

When the Year 12s first got their ID tags and they felt like grown-ups.

Media:

Bad Romance by Lady Gaga, because I hated it and then it grew on me and now I can't get it out of my head.

Things I Love Sunday inspiration: Gala Darling

A fresh start.

So it's out with the old and in with the new.

I felt that my thoughts were becoming too scattered, blogging was becoming more of a chore than of a time of reflection. My humor was gone, and I have changed as a person. I'm glad the last post was written by my sister, light-hearted and carefree as a 14-year-old should be. I'm not even going to number my posts like I did the last time, I don't believe in counting down to something anymore, and numbers are safe, secure and have a sense of foreboding, what are we counting up to, anyway?

My old posts from this blog are now at a new address : ilovedlazysundays.blogspot.com

(See what I did there? Clever, huh?)

I want to be able to write about my life in a way that I can keep track of myself and my progress. I was learning about Nietzsche in History class today, mind you we only touched a little bit on his theories so do bear with me if you are a scholar of Nietzsche and I've interpreted it incorrectly, I am sorry. This is what he thought.

From 'The Origins of Fascism' - Nietzsche [said] we should 'live dangerousy'... When he spoke of waging war, he probably meant metaphorically, not literally: one should wage war on one's own follies and self-deceptions.

I know I'm going on a somewhat more intellectual tirade than usual, but I do think he's right (and I am interested in reading Nietzsche not for political knowledge but more for self-enrichment. The more you learn the better, eh?) But basically, going back to my point, I want to make myself better. And one of the ways to do it, I believe, is to keep looking back to see how far you've come.

I end this post with a photo of me from 2007 and a photo with me from 2009.

I've changed so much. I want to go further.
