Speckled Green

School’s back?! Oh well, no biggy i guess. My brother is going into high school now. I wonder how he fares the first few days. I’m sure he’ll be fine. I wonder if I should ask some of my friends there to annoy him…

Downloaded the new F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin demo for the Xbox 360 yesterday. It. Is. Awesome! That’s about all I need to say.

School is different it seems. Homework and assignments on the first day?! I guess it’s just what happens… Botched up timetables, class swaps, teachers droning on and on… yeah, that part is normal though.

The ‘Chinese’ New Year is today, Australia Day is today. Rare…

Still, Happy New Year to all those who celebrate it!

新年快樂 <–(to those of you who can’t read this, it means Happy New Year)

Hope you all had a great Australia Day!!

P.S. I can’t actually read that Chinese =]

The name of a river, and the name of the cabins I’ve stayed at for the past week. It was a long drive up there, around 4 and a half hours in total, including the breaks and time spent working out where on the map we where (actually, we didn’t have a map of the area…). The place was rather well set up, although the trees around the cabins could’ve been changed a bit to encourage more wildlife (some more flowers would’ve brought birds!!) Read more »

Back at last from the holiday trip. Feeling a bit tired, mostly from the car drive. Had to watch out for leeches in the forests up there!! My parents got bitten, but my brother’s and my own vigilant watch made sure we didn’t get any.

We stayed in a cabbin next to the State Forest up there, Barrington Tops State Forest. Went on a few walks through the forest. Enjoyable, but tiring. Managed to read through 2 and a half Artemis Fowl books while I was there, and still find time to play on my DS… more of a recap later, when I feel better…

Next week I’ll be gone from Monday morning till Friday afternoon, off up the coast past Newcastle, with my family. Spending a week doing nothing much but sitting around, relaxing, and I don’t know what else. Wish I had some new books to read…

Nothing much been happening with me. Now Level 12 in Oblivion (yay!!). Had some fun playing with Andrew, Kevin and Don yesterday on Halo 3, my brother joining in later. Looking for a copy of Ryan and Sean’s Not So Excellent Adventure. Hope it’ll be good.

may I have some more?”  – Oliver Twist

We all want more of something. Like I want more of the freedom I’ve been experiencing over the last 3 weeks (no work?! WHAT BLISS!!!) But alas, it’s now over, my mum comes home at 9pm after a 9 hour flight. And with her comes expectations of work, study, practice, preperation, annoyance, and wishing for the freedom and bliss these last 3 weeks have seemed to be.

Nothing much has been happening lately. I felt like just going out to the movies once or twice, but couldn’t be bothered. Recently been learning and playing the wonderful game of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion on the Xbox 360. Thanks for letting me borrow it Ben! Most people would probably be thinking about what the year(s) ahead of them have install for them. For me, I see fun times with friends, hard work at school, fretting over ‘petty’ School Certificate exams (they ARE important, they do influence your ability to do certain subjects in Yr 11/12), music exams and many alternating boring and great days.

In other news… well, actually, I can’t think of any other news. Meh.

They say every cloud has a silver lining. Well, down on the ground, I can’t see that, so I’ll have to wait.

Haven’t been doing much really. Finished watching the Bourne series (you know, The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremecy, The Bourne Ultimatium). Good movies. Got bored trying to study Brain Bee stuff. Don’t want to start studying for Yr 10 Maths. Can’t be bothered doing anywork. Lazy. See what the holidays do to people… namely me. My mum returns next week… 1 more week of freedom. A capped internet is annoying. But that’s over now…

I want an imagination.

Happy new year to you all!
Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas
My internet’s capped (my brother and his Xbox…), so I’ll be back tomorrow.
