threats

Lunchtime, sitting on the stairs.
Patrick: Do you think I'll push you off the stairs?
Lisa: No, you'll never do that.
Wiener: Yeah, push her.
Lisa: No, I'm too important to you.
Patrick: Yeah, I won't.
Karen: I'll push you all off the stairs if I could.
*all stare at her in shock*

=="

At the train station, as the train is coming through.
Wiener: I dare you to jump off the tracks right now.
Lisa: Darers go first.
Wiener: Quick! Jump!
Lisa: (grabs Wiener's arm) Okay, but we'll go down together.
Wiener: Quick, you're gonna miss your chance.
Lisa: Fine, let's go!
*train passes and stops*
Wiener: Ah, you missed your chance.
*Lisa realises that Karen is missing*
Lisa: Oh hey Patrick, you're stuck with me for half an hour.
Patrick: Why?
Lisa: Karen's not here.
Patrick: Okay, thirty minutes with Lisa, or dead at the bottom of the tracks forever? *looks at Wiener*
Wiener + Patrick: Dead at the bottom forever.
Lisa: Okay, but the train's going to leave. *walks off*
Patrick: *runs after Lisa* Okay, bye Wiener.

There are threats, and then there are threats, Lisa xx

you'll never know

Amazing. Amazing how you can't even see.
I was thinking about two people today, one boy and one girl.
And it's so plain that they are madly in love.
But why can't they admit it?
Why are they so afraid to show?
I'll see how this thing goes.

Hehe, I love love, Lisa xx

tallyho! *in british accent* (memories plus a little rant)

1. I just thought I'd put some anecdotes or memories from Semester 1, at the Fort.

• Maths5: Ahhh, meeting the Woodhouse. It seems to me that I am the only person who thinks she is totally hilarious. I think that the people in this class are amazing. Ie. Casey, Ariadne, Wiener, Ginia, Kayla, Matt, Arlo, Deborah, Alex, Alan Fu, Eric, Elliot. What a party.




• Science5: MeganWang, Wiener, Elliot FalZONE, Eric ZHAO-dog, Kayla LochNESS, Ginny-AHH. Need I saw more?? I will never forget how our group managed to stink up the whole room with a fart-like smell, when everyone else did the experiment perfectly. How we had to run around, opening up the windows to "air" out the room. Haha, our "stories", and how Hyugen and Wang always eat in class despite Tiddon Staring Us Down.




• English5: Ohhh you guys are such a riot! Ms Quirk, who we've nicknamed Harry Potter, is the funniest teacher ever. Despite some classes feeling like they drag on. And on. And on and on, we always manage to laugh.




• Elective Geography: My favourite class! I enjoy it so so so much. Pagani and Ms Johanssen are the best social science teachers you could ask for. I adore my "front table" group: (in sitting order) Patrick, Wiener, Matt, Kayla, Bryce, Lisa, Belinda. Love you!! And really, our GERS rocked, despite the fact we didn't have an actual ger because Wiener fails. :)




• Elective History2: Oooh, my favourite subject! Ms Bresnahan is enlightening. She lets us go so wild yet she knows how to calm us down. Debates, witch parties, radio broadcasts, you name it, we've done it. I love the people in ElecHist: Arizona (LOVE YOU), Matt, Bryce, Arlo, Mikayla, Angie, Casey :)




• FoodTech2: I really saved the best 'til last! FoodTech is so bloody fun, everything is great. Our pracs, our "buffets" and we truly have the best FoodTech teacher, Ms Woodley!! My partner, Angela, is incredible at cooking. Sometimes I step back and just .. watch her. She's great. Hope we have more buffets in the next semester! Class: Angie, Mikayla, Aileen, Patrick, Arlo, Miles. LOOOVE.

I can only hope that Semester 2 will bring much much more incredible, incredible moments. :) (Oh I didn't include GHP, because nothing ever happens in those classes. And they are the least memorable and most boring. Except for PE, I enjoy PE.)

2. Okie-dokey. I was watching Skins today and I realised something. I am so in love with the British accent. Not the Jamie Oliver accent, but Michelle from Skins' and Hermione's from Harry Potter. Ahhhh. If I could choose any accent in the world, I'd choose Lily Allen's. I love that girl. And I'd walk around Fort talking in my accent. Because you guys know, I'm totally hip like that. *dances* Wooo!

3. I finished reading a book recently, Along Came A Spider by James Patterson. It is the Best Book I Have Ever Read. It is so amazing. And guess what guys? It's not a romantic comedy. Big shocker. No really, it's a thriller/crime fiction. And it is so so so good. Really. I really want to see the movie version of it, which was made in 2001, starring Morgan Freeman. And I can't wait to watch it and say how terrible it is compared to the book. I've never been into Harry Potter enough to read all their books. In fact, I've only ever read Book 1, 2 and half of 3 despite owning the whole series. So I've never gotten the opportunity to dish out dirt on the movie because I've read the oh-so-fantastic book version. It was like that with Twilight also, I watched the movie, liked it thus I started reading the book. I'm cool like that, yeeaaah. (No actually, if you knew me, you'd be running in the opposite direction. D:)

4. I was reading through a person's blog today. I used to know this girl, we went to primary together but we'd never been close friends. Umm, she'd always been the shy type, you know, shy but always quick to please. She was smart and funny, but one thing I can's stress enough, she was very very shy. So I was so surprised when I opened her blog and it was just swearing, after swearing, after swearing. I couldn't help but think that high school hit her hard. Here she is talking about her parents being nasty stuff, and wishing she could murder her brother, how she wants to run away with her boyfriend etc etc. I was, to be completely honest, horrified. I hope one day, if I get to meet her again, to sit down and have a milkshake with her (I hate coffee) and talk to her and try to get to know her again. Because frankly, I have no clue who she is right now.

5. I have an amazing person. He is really good to me. He does everything right. And I thank God for him. I hope this blossoms and grows into something that will last. Mmmmmm. I smile thinking about this person! Haha, how corny. Well let's just say he has the ability to make me get butterflies, just at the thought of him. :)

6. Oh I'll include a photo because your eyes are probably hurting right now. Sorry :(

He told me if he ever took me to Paris, then I know he would be proposing to me.

I hope you enjoyed my little rant, Lisa xx

Fooood Fest '09!!

These were really nice little tents set up in an Indian harem style.

Mmmm, gooey lines of sugar lollies.

This is only here because I like the contrast of the white and the bright red.

I like this picture the most.

Mmm, Bankstown. I've known it all my life and yet it never fails to amaze me. I love it, the cultures, the food, the shopping, even the gangs and the TB's. Love it all!

At the foodfest, I had this lovely fried crab dish, it was nice. But when I left, I did a typical Bankstown thing. I got a porkroll and a 7-11 Large Slurpee.

I hope you're smiling, Lisa xx

;

If it didn't matter, babe, you wouldn't be thinking about it.

HP6

Was terrible.
Soooo terrible.
I'm going to cry myself to sleep now because it was so bad.

I used to be in love with Harry Potter, Lisa xx

Blaming and waiting

"Why didn't you do something?"

Sound familiar? I'm sure that at one time in your life you've put the blame on somebody else. Or perhaps, that they put the blame on you. Whether it be something small, something big or something big that turned out to be something small. You've tried to make it look like you were in the right the whole time, and the other person, well, not in the right.

Thanks to John Mayer, we've all adopted the idea of "Waiting on the World to Change". Oh really? The world is going to change if you wait? Really, John Mayer? Really?

"Me and my friends, we just keep waiting, waiting. Waiting on the world to change." I used to love this song, it gave me a reason to lay back and put the blame on the 'world' for being terrible. Blaming the 'world' for rape, homicide, OD's. Because you know, it's not my problem. It's the 'world's' and I'm just gonna sit back and relax. And DO WHAT? Wait?

Because WAITING will solve the problem. Because WAITING will rid the world of poverty? Of AIDS? Of dying infants? Of crazed murderers?

And another issue I have with this song is 'waiting on the WORLD to change'. Well, who is the world? What is the world? I'll have to answer this question by using a notorious artist, MJ. His song 'We are the World' conveys the exact opposite message to JM's. Ironic how JM is MJ backwards. Which goes to show that JM's way of life is backward to society (assuming that MJ's was progressive. Doubtful.)

But it's true. We ARE the world. We ARE the children. We ARE the ones who are going to make the better day. So get off your butts, world. There is no waiting in this society. No waiting, no backwardness. Get out there and make a difference. Get out there and show the world, the others you care and that you are an active person in the World community.

Waiting is not going to get you anywhere. Will children stop dying from hunger if you wait? Will children stop dying from hunger if you blame someone else? Will the person you are in love with know if you wait? Can you blame them getting engaged or married, because you never told them?

The name of the game is NOT outrunning the blame. Take responsibility for your actions, and DON'T WAIT.

"Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones WE'VE been waiting for. We are the change that we seek." - Barack Obama, US President.

We are the change that we seek, Lisa xx

Late nights, gold slippers

A true story.

Late nights, gold slippers
Beer bottles, nail clippers
Drunk friends, fast food
Foul swearing, bad moods.

Next morning, headache
Angry parents, too late
Trashed room, bad smell
No secrets, kiss and tell.

Mistake, broken hearts
Where did this all start?
Regret and tears
Mean strangers, stupid peers.

Loud whispers, hushed talk
Silent stares, mean gawk
Turn away, and walk away
Gonna make a new day.

Happy

Smile, sunshine! You never know, someone might fall in love with it :)

.

I think I'm in love.

one whole and perfect day

I enjoyed today very very much.
I think I have the greatest family in the entire world.
I slept in gloriously late, woke up to a warm breakfast made by my mum. Spent the morning in with my little brother and sister watching DVD's and being silly.
Had a nice chat with William Q, which I always enjoy.
And my lovely William Tran, kept me updated with texts throughout the day.
Mum took me out for lunch and girly shopping. I love you.
And we had an ice cream eating contest, and my mum owned me and my little brother and sister, hands down.
Bought a new bra, and a new ring today.

Hope your holidays have been great, Lisa xx

Originality?

Living in a world where conforming is the new black, I think it is hard to be 'original', 'unique', 'yourself'. Everybody is wearing the same clothes, sporting the same hairstyle, using the same slang, having the same 'favourites', loving and hating the same things.

Everyone we meet, we 'take' something off them. It's human nature. We see someone walking a certain way, we try to duplicate but of course it changes a bit. And we see someone wink and smile at friends, so we wink and smile at friends.

Can we really be 'original' in a world that endorses and embraces and thrives on conformity?

Are we really 'unique'? Or are we just pieces and traits of other people glued together? Can this be in fact classed as 'special'?

When people say "you're one in a million, there is no one out there like you", are they correct? Or should they be saying "there is a millionth of someone in you, and there are parts of you which are similar to others"?

I don't know, I've been asking this myself over and over. It's scary because I've always thought that I was 'special' and that I was being 'original', but is originality even possible in the world we live in? Does originality even exist?

I'll leave you on that thought, Lisa xx

Rainbow Sugar

It was our foodtech "party" today, and I made fairy bread. Om nom nom nom.

I loooove fairy bread, it makes me feel like a little princess :)

I love fairies, when I was small I wanted to grow up to be a fairy.

I'll meet you on the rainbow, Lisa xx

So Sick of Love Songs...

Karen, Patrick, Lisa, Andas decide to go K again!!
It was mainly a LOL, including the pouring rain, my broken umbrella, our soaking-wet state, the fact we bought train tickets even though the gates were open, talking to Ms Schubert and basically telling her we were leaving school. Haha.

We just sang our usual songs: Don't Cha, Touch My Body, Oops I Did it Again etc.

Karen, Lisa: *singing* Touch my body, put me on the floor..
Andas, Patrick: Hmm, no thanks.
Mmm. I love you too.

Eating at Strathfield Plaza like we usually do.
SO glad that someone else came today, so that the K room was cheaper.
We should make it a weekly thing :D

Holidays are in two days! I am very very, amazingly excited!

'Til next time good friends, Lisa xx

just a thought,

If the person you are talking to doesn't appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear.

- Winnie the Pooh

Sometimes you just want to become a child again.

The innocence, the uncaring, the freedom.

Lame and Lies

That's right, I'm talking about Patrick and Karen. Ie. Lame and Lies.
Who else would go crazy the way we three do?
Who else would spontaneously decide to leave school halfway to go K instead?
Who else would make ME pay for the karaoke room?
Who else would spend an hour in a room filled with cigarette smoke?
Who else would jump on the chairs and tables and dance like sluts to Don't Cha?
Who else would spontaneously decide to leave school halfway the NEXT day as well?
Who else would I turn to if not for my Lame Lies?
I LOVE YOU. Even if you guys are crazy hormonal teenagers.
I don't mind, I dig it.
Yayayayayayayaya. My Lame Lies.
Lame, right?

Love ya bunches, Lisa xx
