HOLIDAYS

Good morning to you all! I'm so sorry for leaving you for about 2 weeks, I was just so lazy and really I have no excuse. :( So I willingly accept any punishment. (Please be nice even if I don't deserve it? (brings out the puppy dog eyes I wish actually worked)* But it's not all bad news because it's HOLIDAYS which I get to PARTAYYY ALL DAY EVERY DAY and by PARTAYY  I actually mean stay at home and watch Disney movies and Korean dramas. (Ooohhh, it's gotta be a good life) And it also means that I have lotsa and lotsa free time to blog and surf the web. Who even says that anymore? I mean who would even come up with such a thing? When you think about logically, wouldn't you spin a web? I'd understand if the 'web' was called 'wave' and then you could surf the wave and that would make sense. I don't even know where I'm getting this from. Maybe these are Mary's unique symptoms from recovering from a fever. Or I'm just a little bit loopy today.

I just went to vaccuum the house halfway through writing this blog post so my mum won't tell me to do any more chores for today and she'll make my brother do them since he's not even awake yet. Heeheeeeheee :) Well, I vaccuumed to the the Macarena song and I must say, I have never loved vaccuuming more. HAHAHAH. It made everything so much more lively, maybe this is what I should listen to while doing homework. I doubt that would work though, I'd probably just break into doing the Macarena or some stuffed up version of the Nutbush in my bedroom. Well. So if you haven't realised by now, I'm a little bit insane. But insane me is a lot more interesting than serious, hardworking (ahem, cough, LOLNO) me.

Alright, enough about me, how are you? I usually ask this at the beginning, I feel so inconsiderate now. I'm sorry, forgive me. Especially you, Kimberly, you poor thing. I hope you get better really really really soon so you can enjoy your holidays! Get lots and lots of sleep and stay warm! :) And Natasha, I hope you're getting better too! Your thoughts are too funny and awesome to not be voiced! And to everyone else who is sick or who gets sick during this horrible Australian winter, I hope you get better and enjoy school holidays! :)

A whole lot of events have happened since I was gone so I'm going to try and explain them as briefly as possible.

• School Soiree Night -This was such a fun night. Everyone who performed was absolutely fantastic and the choir and the concert band were angels and everything was just really lovely. It was my second time performing at one of these things, I decided to sing "When Will My Life Begin" from the Disney musical "Tangled." One of my favourite Disney movies EVER. :D After my performance I got lots of compliments so either I did so bad they felt the need to console me or I did something right. Apparently, I had the cutest performance though. That may have been because I was the youngest. HAHHAHA, overall, awesome night! :)

• Brainy Bees - So this was a competition to test schools on their knowledge of neuroscience. We completely fluked the online multiple choice test, I seriously didn't even know that the test was that day until the announcement. We totally aced everything and our school is going the finals. HAHAHAHA, NO. We were totally just having fun, writing down the stupidest answers and trying not to let other schools look at our papers in fear of embarrassment.                                                                                                         I also had to say a speech about this with my wonderful friend, Tracy, who had the funniest speech ever! I was reflecting on this speech a little bit before, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I sounded like a news reporter during my little part of the speech because I was so nervous and was so concentrated on trying to get the freaking words out as clearly as possible. So my intonation was fu*&^$&7d. HEHHE. But Brainy Bees was really fun and we got to see the anatomy museum which is a rare experience in one's lifetime and it was disturbing and really cool at the same time. I mean, there was a cross-section of a baby...which died because he/she was born without a skull. That was probably the most disturbing thing out of it all. And there was this real, dead arm. The liquid that used to be in the arm had been drained out and replaced with silicon so it felt sort of like plastic but it seriously just felt weird as heck. But cool. 

• Brave - OH MY LORD. BRAVE WAS AWESOME, FANTASTIC, MESMERISING, TERRIFIC, MARVELLOUS,  AMAZING JUST PURE DISNEY PIXAR BRILLIANCE. I loved it so much. I didn't think I could love anything more after Tangled, but Brave and Tangled are now equal. Merida has the most beautiful hair ever. And her brothers are the cutest little things and nawwwww. And her parents, especially her dad, Fergus, is just the sweetest, funniest, dopiest dad ever. SPOILER ALERT. I REPEAT SPOILER ALERT. SERIOUSLY, I'M GOING TO PUT THIS IS BLACK FONT SO ONLY WHEN YOU HIGHLIGHT IT YOU CAN SEE. SO GO WATCH IT. AND THEN READ THE REST OF THIS LITTLE SPIEL ABOUT BRAVE AND UNDERSTAND MY FEELS. I love how she's the one Disney princess who doesn't find that special one true love and the movie is based on family love and tradition and it's just so beautiful. I was on the verge of tears in a couple parts in the movie. Tash and I were trying our hardest not to cry and our friend, Mariya was giving us sympathetic looks. I also now have a new appreciation for folk music.
• The Family Law - I read Benjamin Law's sort of autobiography 'The Family Law' and it was one of the most hilarious books I've ever read. I'd tell you more but then I'd be spoiling it so go go go! read read read!!
• Art scores - The other day my 3D art teacher let us look at our scores for the class and I was so surprised by my marks because I've never been the arty type. I'm more the reading writing type but apparently I'm an B+/A student in 3D art. I did not see that coming. Not at all. But I'm happy because I had lots of fun in the subject and my teacher was the sweetest and I'm going to miss it a lot. The classes were so relaxed and fun and just :)

• 21 Jump St - I watched 21 Jump St and I must say, it was not what I expected. I expected it to be really offensive, stupid humour but it actually wasn't that bad. I ended up enjoying it quite a bit. It was freaking hilarious, I thought there would a lot of pointless fighting scenes just cause but there was an actual storyline and it was well written. And Channing Tatum in a Potassium Nitrate jacket was the cutest thing. HAHAHHA. Watch it and you'll get it. 

I think there's more things that happened but I can't remember anymore. Sozzy. :( I've got to go get changed because mum and Tim want to go shopping. Well. I'm not really a fan of shopping. Yes, believe it or not. I really just don't like shopping. I get too lazy to try stuff on and I'm really indecisive so sometimes I don't want anything or I want everything or I can't decide between two, realise I don't want either and go home without anything. I don't hate shopping, I just don't like shopping for myself. I do need to get my friend a birthday present though so yeah. Welp, this is the longest post I've written in a while so I hope this compensates a little. :) I'll still accept punishment though...(gulp).

BYE, LOVE YOU ALL! STAY WARM, STAY WELL! SINGING IN THE RAIN, WHAT A GLORIOUS FEELING. Wait, no, you'll get sick. Don't do that. Unless you've got aabout 500 layers of clothes and another 200 layers of raincoats covering yourself and in that case, sing away. :D <3

And I'll leave you with this Alex Day's beautiful music video. To make you feel better since it's been raining cats and dogs and snakes and lizards and giraffes and hippos and meerkats and sharks since morning. 

Hope that made you feel a little better about the weather. :)

MAARY.
