do you want to get triple x groovy?

So I haven't been to school since...ohhhh THURSDAY LAST WEEK. Yeah I took the day off on Friday bad I know but seriously I couldn't handle turning up and doing nothing.

Then on Monday I had a French excursion to Leichhardt (haha yes ironic I know) but the Palace cinema was playing the film we went to see Entre les murs "between the walls" or translated to it's english title "The Class" It was pretty good but the ending was a bit "." if you get what I mean lol (i can just imagine that no one understands)

It was pretty low budget but it was kind of set like a documentary and get this, the characters all essentially play themselves. In the sense they all keep their actual names in the movie, but the children's parents are played by their parents! What I kind of took from the film (and its abrupt ending) was that things happen in schools, teachers have their different approaches to things and so do students. You can only do the best you can and at the end of the day that's what you've got.

Great lunch at the Italian forum, then we walked up the street to a little cake shop and we all went crazy buying traditional Italian dessert type things. Caught the bus back to central and we passed UTS and USyd. The grounds of USyd are sooooo nice. I can just imagine sitting under a tree reading or studying or something, much like Rory's tree in Gilmore Girls...

anyway back to reality, today was the impact leadership conference at Olympic park. Caught the train in lol and followed this girl's school from there to the sports centre (cause we were a tad disoriented) but then they stop and they're like we're going to McDonalds but you have to go that way *points in complete opposite direction to the right way* so we start heading up the way they said and Hayley was like "We were supposed to turn left on Olympic Boulevard" but we kept going until we go to the end of the street. The we realised those girls had no idea. so we walked all the way back and started heading the right way, passing the girls who seemed to be talking to another group of students. THEN the students started heading the way we just came from, IE. the wrong way and I was all "=O" So I yelled out to them "Are you going to the sports centre???" and yeah so we ended up walking over to them because yelling 50m to them was not very productive. Turns out the girls bummed steered another group

it was quite infuriating. We ended up sitting next to the other "lost" school and they were pretty nice. We called one of them Sally. (he called us sally first though) I can't say I wasn't disappointed that Hemmish and Andy were not there...bahaha the entertainment guys were a pretty good substitute though!

Swimming Carnival tomorrow. There is the whole "year 12 lap of honour" thing happening but hey what fun is that if all your friends are losers that are too lazy to come to the carnival! The weather may be off also...

Anywho so that explains why I've lost an entire week of school. Hey not as bad as when I'll be off for work experience. I'm at the hospital this year. I have decided I REALLY don't want to do anything in the cooking part of the hospitality industry. I'll keep that as a hobby.


K here's a riddle for your entertainment

You are trapped in a prison where you cannot escape any way than mentioned in this puzzle.
There are two switches that look identical. One of them kills you instantly, the other sets you free. You do not know which is which.
There are two statues that look identical. One of them always tells the truth, the other always lies. You do not know which is which.
You are allowed to ask ONLY 1 statue ONLY 1 question. ONLY the statue you ask will respond.

(statues cannot move, they only speak)

Which question will you ask to set yourself free?

(hint: the question can have a preceding statement,
Ex: if ________________, then _____________________?)

Surrepticiously Steph

Sitting down, I was doing a bit of shoulder dancing to the music when an arm appeared in front of me and handed me a drink. It was a brown arm, it had a gold ring on the third finger. I looked up, and it was Masimo's arm. And he was attached to it."

OKAY OKAY I realise that I have not blogged *tries hard not to giggle at the word* in a looooooong time but hey, I've been doing stuff. I promise I'll try hard to update you all throughout my HSC year.

First thing's first. MY NEW IPOD. It's a green ipod nano and I have named it Iggy the Ipod - Iggy being short for Iggy Stardust (he particularly likes holding my Bowie music for me)

School on Wednesday. Erlack. But I'm afraid it's true. I PLAN to achieve marks high enough to get into USYD for nutrition...yeah keep dreaming eh? i've got several back up courses though so watch out for me ronnie cause i'm gonna be big.

I'm just wondering if anyone sees the irony in me applying for a nutrition course....

Okay well when I'm feeling in another info sharing mood I shall assault you with it.
Peace Out
Steph

Songs I'm feeling of late
Bigger Boys and Stolen Sweethearts - The Arctic Monkeys
Weekend Wars - MGMT

Just thought you all might like to know I'm working 20 hours this week......kill me now. Maybe I can work my way up to a position of power at woolworths.....lol!

Also I should change the background on this page since it doesn't match my new header sadly.

Okay since it's been about six weeks since I've written anything I thought I better write a quick post to let you all know what's going on im life atm.

I can summarise for anyone who gets bored quickly though...the answer is not a lot.

As you may or may not know, I recently got a job at good ol' Woolworths. It's alright there, except when you get crappy customers that enjoy being annoying and make life difficult for everyone. I'm the youngest one working there, there's a few people in year 12 and then like mostly everyone's in Uni. Everyone there is like super nice except for one of the supervisors who seems to really dislike me and lkikes to tell me off for stuff at every possible chance she can. But C'est la vie...

OH I've just remembered to look up those lyrics as well and it IS c'est chic. Ah k well at least I know something...also I realise Britain is not actually a country lol.

So on Friday night, we celebrated Donar and Penelope's birthday's at Savanas Restaurant. Mia, Monika, Angelina, Carlia, Jacqui, Marta and myself were there. The food there wasn't overly fantastic but they gave us massive portions and they had nice chips lol. Then we had birthday which everyone pitched in to buy. Sadly Donar didn't have the greatest experience because she had a cold and thought all the food tasted funny.

After dinner, Mia, Monika, Ange, Donar and myself walked over to the cinemas and watched The Dark Knight. I have to say I seriously underestimated Heath Ledger because I thought it was all talk about his great performance just as a sort of pity thing because he died. But he was fantastic and even as the bad guy I totally loved the Joker, he just had that je ne sais quoi.

Ahhh below are photos of the night's romping. We were outside and I kiiiind of froze my ass off because I wore a skirt thinking it wouldn't get cold IN a restaurant. How silly of me.





Okay well thats it from me for now.

Ciao, Steph

Steph's Busy Day

So once upon a time there was this uber chick called Steph and the guys wanted to be her and the girls thought they could change her (or maybe vice versa SIMPSONS QUOTE PEOPLE)

And anyway Stephanie woke up on the morning of the 18th June 2008 in a blind panic as she had such an eventful day. First off she had to wake up extremely early because she had extension maths which ran fairly smoothy smooth as it regularly does. But when she woke up she remembered SHE IS DONATING BLOOD TODAY. Scary I know. So she had a big breakfast comprised of weet-bix, juice, tea and toast. She also drank large quantities of water throughout the day, so much that she had to pee three times during class time at school.

First two periods the Steph had english. Today happened to be the day in english where they decided to have a listening test. And Steph happened to do okay, or at least she thinks she did. Then there was double French-ness and more in-class peeing.

At lunch the Steph left for the blood bank and she was pretty much scared shitless. So she actually got there believe it or not and filled out the forms and got weighed and had her blood pressure taken etc. Then came the scary little needle they prick your finger with to test iron or some such thing. The Steph passed. and then they took her through to THE room. andshe sat down and freaked out lots, the lady taking her blood was super nice though and she was sitting there with a GREAT MASSIVE METAL TUBE coming out of her arm and she kept asking if the Steph was okay was okay which she was and they were like three quarters of the way through and the lady is like are you okay? and and the steph says yer...it's normal to feel like a little dizzy right? and shes like NO :O and the steph thinks she is dying (the man said that was okay since there was a cemetary right across ther road) and so she has to stop taking the Steph's blood and INVERT the Steph so her legs are higher than her head which was especially embarassing as all her nice friends came and laughed for support not to mention there was a cute guy working there. 15 minutes later the Steph is set free and gets to eat chocolate and jellybeans free from blood donating terror.

BUT THERE WAS TERROR YET TO COME. The Steph had a job interview which was equally stressful as the blood donating which went for about 45 minutes until the Steph came out on the top and nice Libra informed her that she would be recommending the Steph as she was the most awesome for the job.

The Steph was getting quite emotional as the day was not one of her favourites and she still had to go home and finish her food tech assignment (which she is about to do right now)


So Peace out kids

Steph the (not only just) Spectacular

PS Shame on you Tommothy as I have donated blood before you =P

The Host....The Verdict

Okay so I've read it. Stephenie Meyers latest The Host.

I have to say first off after not reading the Twilight books for ages I've cooled down from my Stephenie Meyer fever. I sort of forgot why I ever got so hyped up.

The idea behind the host is the whole body snatching alien thing. Although the genre it sits in is quite far from anything too sci-fi. In fact TH's themes are all quite similar to Twilight. It is an almost impossible love story between two different species...stop me if this sounds all too familiar.

Despite similarities between the two books I can't help but enjoy the love triangle involving only two bodies. The characters are all endearing...even the bad ones! Which is what makes the story kind of sugar coated but hey sometimes it's good to just read a book with a sickeningly perfectly ending right?

I don't want to give too much away in case you're all going to run out and buy it after my WONDERFUL review but yeah it's a nice happy story that I wouldn't say was one of my favourite books of all time but it rates pretty well with me and I mean hey, if it gets people reading books who am I to complain right?

Much Love
Steph the Spectacular xxx

Anyone up for Charlie the Unicorn 2?
