Wednesday

Serena Luong, Queen of the Andals, Probably Not the First of Her Name

I was sooooooooo concerned about my upcoming math test that I actually studied at Amy's house for the first time in forever. She was bored so I allowed her to be my hairstylist for a night but she had nothing to use besides 2 hairties so she had to be very resourceful. For Sansa's bun she used the arched part of a pair of headphones and covered it in socks so the hair would stick better. Top tips from a top hair stylist. 

Thursday

WIESoc AGM

As you may or may not know, I was thinking of running for Arc Delegate for Women in Engo only because I was pretty sure no one else on the existing committee was running for it and I'm a sucker for freebies. The thing with WIE though, is that there isn't a lot of loyalty so if you're a random popular person, as long as you bring enough friends with you, you have a chance of getting the position.

I was getting pretty nervous the closer it got to 6 pm and I was on 4 hours of sleep too. Anyways I got to CLB with my primary campaign managers, Amy and Stephen, and a LOT of people were there... like around 40. I still had no idea whether I was running against anyone???  I was being a lil awkward turtle as I always am and was asking people what positions they were going for. Most people had speeches or at least a general outline of what they were going to say but I was planning on winging it...so i get very stressed.

Anyway, we all went in to the lecture theatre and my heart was beating so fast I was going to die. Saw on the slideshow that there was 1 other person running against me (Linda??) and my heart dropped when Nancy Z said Linda was Arc Delegate for Engsoc the previous year so dis bitch got so much more experience than me. I sat next to Nancy Z and Lizzie who were both going for positions and Lizzie got so stressed she lost her voice.

Thank jesus Arc Delegate is the most rubbish position so it was voted on last. I madly wrote a speech on my phone whilst the other people were doing their speeches. I was happy about everyone who got voted in except for VP Events cus Nancy Z lost to some chick from Engsoc? HAHA I'm such a bitch I'm going to have to work with her for the next year ffs.

Apparently Stephen listened intently to all the speeches and by the end of the night he knew like everyone's name and what positions they were going for L M A O.

Arc Delegate candidates got called out to the front so I went up and I was so confused because the other chick was a no show?? Guy started being like "I'll run against her!!!" cus Arc has a rule that says if you're uncontested for a position, someone else MUST get up and run against you. But no this OTHER candidate called Emma reluctantly got up as well.

I did my speech and I was shaking SO FUCKING MUCH like I'm pretty sure the people in first 5 rows were like fuck she needs a Parkinson's spoon but for her whole body.

I didn't want to just read off my phone like I wanted to CONNECT yenno so I started blabbing and going off on tangents. I dug myself into a hole when I started talking about how I learnt a lot about photoshopping as a Marketing Subcomm member but in my head I was like SHUT THE FUCK UP THIS IS ARC DELEGATE NOT FUCKING MARKETING VICE PREZ so I was like "that has nothing to do with this position at all" and probably did some awkward hand actions I don't even remember now BUT PEOPLE LAUGHED!!!! and I was happy. Anyway I finished off my speech with something like "I'm really hardworking so pls vote for me!!"

I got the position. Mostly because more people in that room knew me from subcomm tho HAHAHA. Rip because the Emma chick's speech was so professional and she listed all her achievements and shit. The exec team is actually all female this time???

Was ded af and had dinner with Amy + Stephen at this Jap place called Miso in World Square. It was really yummy :0

Friday

uni thingos

My numerical methods test was basically identical to the past papers so thank jesus otherwise I would've been completely fucked. It's up there as one of the tests I've been least prepared for. 

After my test, Stephen and I started Checkpoint #2 for our Mechatronics assignment. I made a car that could be steered!! ! It wasn't as painful as last week lmao shit mostly worked on the first go. 

BUY 1 GET 1 FREE GONG CHA

Then went to Bankstown with Amy + Stephen with the sweet promise that the pressure of my eyeballs would be checked but when we got there the instrument wasn't working L M A O so I was about to go home when I got a text from lil Amy Lim asking if I wanted to get dinner + buy 1 get 1 free Gong Cha with Phuccboi. 

Met them at the new Ngo and Sons which looks so fucking nice like they have all these nice paintings on the wall and the lobby area is soooo open. Felt like an imposter sitting behind the reception desk HAHAHA. Had La Grilla which was was fucking expensive like WOW I wasn't even full. Then went to Gong Cha and the line was so fucken long but we thought it would maybe take an hour max? NEk minnit 3 HOURS LATER still waiting for our drinks.

@ Gong Cha

I met some of Phuc's Pats boys and wow... just wow... so fucking rowdy. Played with Precious' doggos. I got soooo impatient towards the end like I sighed so loudly when people looked like they were having fun because as far as I was concerned there was no more happiness in the world.

Other things

Bachelor

Tara got out.. .what did I fucking say? So triggered after that episode ugh. Laura had that "instant connection" with Matty during their first date.

Tara deserves all the happiness in the world ffs she's so nice.

I didn't watch the Bachelor Finale cus of AGM lol but I swear the winner is always the one that makes the best first impression. Snezana, Sasha, Alex, Lee... now Laura?? Like I ended up liking the runner up more in the end though??

The Girl in the Spider's Web

*here I go again so the door is that way I apologise in advance*

Claire Foy is officially (like CONFIRMED) the NEW Lisbeth Salander. There were so many rumours and I won't be over it until I watch the movie, but at least people can stop fucking talking about it now. Jokes its going to be brought up in so many interviews when the movie comes out. I have nothing against her... 

I feel like it's such an understandable career move to take on this role but also Claire's kinda gotta have some mad ambition if she thinks she can do a better job. 

On the bright side I have Vogue and anOther??

She hates small talk. “I either want no conversation or ‘Let’s talk about your failing marriage,’ ” she says.

The 100

Finished Season 3 on Wednesday but taking a break until Lizzie gets up to season 4 too because it was honestly ruining my life. 

OK FUCK another night ruined by looking at The 100 gifs fml like everytime I have this feeling of being completely overwhelmed by something so aesthetically pleasing I'm so shooketh but then tomorrow I'll wake up and pretend it never happened like it was in the past or some shit???????? I'M IN A TRANCE i don't even want to finish this post. 

Mind Diarrhoea

I feel like I'm living my teenage years as they were meant to be lived.. but only doing that now.

I've been knocked down by you
and you got my heart now
why won't you stop now
knocked down

I like to imagine in a few hundred years, after Earth has become some uninhabitable wasteland, someone coming along and excavating my hard-drive which has been trapped in a rock or something and finding all my gifs and being like wow this person was really obsessed with a clones or hmm what is all this nonsense code about Xbox controllers. I wonder what my legacy will be. 

continues to have heart broken at 3am by gifs fuck those raccoon eyes u g h

same ... like really same ... 

AHAHHA i got tagged in a tumblr tag thing by one of the orphan black blogs I follow like hello did u even know i existed but its a "10 songs you're currently into" and I can't really do it because all I've been listening to is Khalid.

One day I will share this tumblr post that was so relatable I literally choked when I saw it. Like spit went down the wrong tube and I had to cough to make it come back out.

MOVIE STUFF

********************

To The Bone 🍖🍖🍖

Dir. Marti Noxon

I feel like I haven't reviewed a movie in SOOOOOOOO long

Ummm I actually quite liked this HAHAHA I felt it got a little too weird/artsy towards the end with the whole hallucinating on the rocks kinda thing and FFS the male love interest was so fucking annoying most of the time but yo it was ok

I think people are hypercritical of how movies portray mental illnesses. Movies take liberties with history all the time and no one says jack all...but when To The Bone ends hopefully (like the whole movie was fucking bleak as shit but there's a sliver of hope at the end) people accuse it of sugar-coating anorexia?? like binch it's a fucking movie if I wanted to see what anorexia is actually like I'd go visit a hospital.

why do ppl always have shit to complain about

plus lily collins AND the director have both suffered with anorexia and if you're discrediting the film's portrayal of the disease you're basically discrediting their own experiences which is fucking offensive

so yes I do believe there was a lot of heart that went into this movie even though the final product feels a little formulaic (plot was predictable, "emotional scenes" didn't all work, NOT SOLD on Keanu Reeves in this??) but fuck it... it's a good time.
