a little morning game.

Every night before bed, my brother sets his clothes out on the bench top in the bathroom. One night, I decided to hide them and leave him some notes to follow; A TREASURE HUNT!











Needless to say, he wakes at 6:20am, is usually grumpy in the morning, got mad at me and stayed mad for the rest of the morning. Oh well, it amused me :)

it finally happened.

I HAVE A JOB!! admit it, we all thought it would never happen :P

so now I'm a casual at the Cairns Craft Center, earning between $16 and $18 p/hour, working 2 or 3 times a week. who's jealous :D

my boss is heaps cool as well! he's about late 60's and we were talking and he said "I'm getting a bit old to be doing so much crap around this shop. I already hire too many people but, well.. you show some promise. I've effed up before but I think you're going to be another Nomi."

Nomi is their best worker, I felt pretty happy about that :)

but yea, once I get some money into me, I'll probably be shouting everyone everything, so try not to use me too much hahah >_____<

atleast I can go to see movies in the cinema now :D

BY THE WAY!

I met my all time favourite artist in the entire world (no, not Michel Gondry; he's a film-maker). Her name is Kristin Tennyson, she makes the Doodlebags at KickARTS, and she's coming on art camp with us on Thursday :D

god, I'm on such a high right now!

amazing hair stylist: Robert Masciave

his creations are so wonderful, I'd actually LOVE to have a wig version just sitting on top of my hatstand in my room. it's beyond hair styling; it's art. and it's gorgeous.

if I ever need a good laugh.

I go to ShitBrix.com. These two photos are from one of their sister sites: FunnyExam.com




who WOULDN'T prefer a mermaid to be on their paper? humans are boring :)



yea, coz nothing explains the whole question better than concluding with "and shit."

i am neurotic.

found a wonderfully fantastically weirdly cute little piece of interspace: http://iamneurotic.com

here's a snippet: "When I am taking nails from my nail pouch, sometimes I have to put one down for one reason or another. If I start to work again, picking out a new nail from the nail pouch, then see the one that I had put down, I feel bad for it, and make the new one wait in line, so I can use the old one first."

driving around at The Old Smithfield Township.

Drving lessons with dad have been going pretty well. I can change gears pretty okay, and can actually stop and start the car without stalling. Hopefully I'll be out on the roads soon!

1 hr 11mins of driving time so far - 98hrs 49mins left to go.

note to self: Criminal Minds.

not this Wednesday, not the Wednesday after, but the Wednesday after that, at 8:30 or 9:30pm on Channel 7 is the Jackson Rathbone episode of Criminal Minds. Kelly, do NOT let yourself forget this.

the festy rabbit story.

If anyone in the world thinks they have a better art teacher than me, I DARE YOU to challenge me! my wonderful teacher Mrs. Williams arrived home from New York about a week ago, and today in art class I was working on my cardboard dinosaur costume (I will post a blog about this project of mine later) and she came up and got all excited, as she does, and said it reminded her of the festy rabbit in New York. naturally, I was intrigued. This is The Festy Rabbit Story (as best I can remember):

Mrs. Williams and her friend wanted to check out an art gallery in the meat packing district of New York on Easter Monday and seeing as everything else seemed to be open that day, they caught a yellow taxi out there, only to realise (after walking around for a bit) that everything was shut up and closed for the day. They then passed an alleyway, and she saw a man pacing up and down the pavement, wearing a rabbit suit and a sandwich board. The front of the board said something along the lines of "CAN YOU DEFINE 'ART'?" and when he turned around, they saw that the back said (something along the lines of) "Unemployed artist needs work". They walked closer to take a photo, but feeling rude they decided to ask his permission first. They walked up to him and saw that his rabbit suit was pretty filthy, the rabbit ears were drooped and pretty depressing, and the parts where the suit had been rubbing against the sign was all balled and worn away; it was a pretty festy rabbit, something like Frank off Donnie Darko. Mrs. Williams asked him if he minded if she took a photo of him, and even though his eyes were slightly obscured by the fly mesh of the mask's eye pieces, she could see that he had narrowed his eyes at her in a pretty hateful way. It's New York; she thought they were going to get stabbed, so they took off back the way they're come from, but at the last minute she turned around and snapped a quick photo of The Festy Rabbit.

After she told me this story, she stuck on the headpiece of my dinosaur costume and asked me if I thought the class would take her more seriously if she wore it when she was talking to us. I laughed (she looked pretty hilarious, maybe I'll take a photo) and answered "no."

awesome dentists exist!

seriously, she's so great! she tells you exactly what she's doing and whether it'll hurt much or not, and stops as soon as I flinch. AND we were talking about Twilight today; turns out she thinks Edward is as weird and creepy as I do :) and she remembers that I told her last time I said I wanted to do film when I finish school. and a day after my first visit, when I was in the paper, they recognized me! seriously, you can't get a better dentist :) today when I was getting my filling in, I ended up with saliva all around my mouth and she's like "it's okay that happens to everyone. everyone loses their dignity once they're at the dentist" hahahahah :D 'cept now my face is numb again; fail.

pretty schoolyard boy.

so there's this lovely boy that sits at my bus stop at school, and I think I like him a little bit. ever since I first saw him, and I don't even know why, but he reminded me of Jacob Black (not Taylor Lautner, Jacob Black) even though he doesn't look anything like him. his hair is like butterscotch and caramel mixed together, and his skin is this gorgeous honey colour, but his cheeks are always a little bit pink. despite this, I don't actually know how old he is and I'm fearing he MIGHT actually be the same age as my brother :| though he doesn't look it at all, he sits with some old friend's of Luke's when he used to go to my school. and.. I don't know his name, seeing as I've never spoken to him.

I guess I'm just going to have to keep admiring him from a distance, even if I DO feel slightly pedophile-ish and stalker-ish.

what a fine..

WOMAN;



I seriously CANNOT WAIT for this episode of Criminal Minds! yea, so that woman is actually Jackson Rathbone, with multiple personality disorder.. on the show, and not in real life. in real life, he's relatively normal :)



ahh, I think about him way too much.. oh well (L).

my tshirt design; update!

I've NOW completed Jasper :) I'm so excited, I can't wait till it's finished!

hahah my mum :)

mum and Luke are in the backyard planting the seedlings we bought the other day, and Luke has this knife and was wilding bashing the weeds, and mum comes over and looks at him- completely horrified. he stops trashing the weeds and stares at mum.


mum: ARUGH! don't do that!!!
Luke: I'm being careful..
mum: no! that's my good bloody kitchen knife! go get the friggin' machete if you're going to do that!

ahh mum, you really care more about our safety than your knifes, don't you :)

frikkin'

I have come to this conclusion: I hate Cairns Central.


I hate the masses of people so so damn much, I really don't think I'll be going back there much anymore.

a day in town with my mother and brother.

7:00am: woke up, had a shower, scoffed down breakfast and watched Smosh's 'Sex Ed' video with my brother.



8:30am: got in the car and drove to Lane Orathadontics. Luke was getting his braces off today, so we dropped him off and went to Stocklands for a bit.
9:15am: bought a plain grey tee (for my tshirt transfer) and Twilight from Big W!



now all I need is Eclipse, and I have the entire saga (L).
9:30am sat down and had a chai latte with mum at The Coffee Club.
10:00am: picked up Luke.
Luke: "without braces I look like a yeti. I had this dream once, and my mouth looks exactly like the monster in my dream.." hahah :P
10:10am: got back in the car and went over to Bunnings to pick up some potting mix, seedlings and some timber stainer for my new student desk for my room! I wanted to buy flowers but I didn't have any money..



but Luke found a hat he really liked;



11:30am: went over to Bazaar furniture coz mum wants to buy a sideboard with the $900 that we're getting from the government. if you don't know what a sideboard is, it's basically just a long table that you have in your dining room, and you put linen and tablecloths and placemats and casserol dishes and all that in it. I found a really awesome chair, but it didn't have a price tag on it :( I thought it'd be really great to have 6 of these, and use them as dining room chairs! what do you think;



12:30pm: we went over to Harvey Normans and while mum had a look for sideboards, me and Luke tested out couches. then we found the massage chairs! one was so rough, it felt like a hobbit was hidden inside and was bashing the crap out of my back. it was pretty brutal hahah so we got mum to have a go;



she didn't like it much either :D hahah!
1:15pm: started heading home, and got Maccas. the wall behind our booth was starting to trip me out after a while!



1:45pm: got home.

now I'm just sitting here, working on my tshirt design, and Myspacing a little.

I've taken to creating fan wallpapers of Twilight.

I know I'm not very good, but I just love fiddling around in Photoshop SO MUCH! Hopefully I'll improve.

tonight.will.be.epic

-camping with kidlets from school.
-me and Marisa being goon monsters.
-setting up this horrendous sounding 6 man tent.
-living off packet noodles and canned meals.
-the sky deciding to rain every 2 hours.
-possibly seeing Adrienne.

so what is everyone else up to tonight? :)

Spike Jonze; re-creating my childhood, one movie at a time.

it's true, he's at it again! another children's book to movie adaption; 'Everyone Poops'.

most annoying neighbors?

so my back neighbors are obviously entertaining for Easter, and it sounds like all their guests decided to bring a dog each and set them loose in their backyard. there's snarling, yelping, booming barking and FOR FUCKS SAKE I want to bash their skulls in with a cricket bat.

the people not the dogs.

I mean JESUS CHRIST can't you keep your fucking pets under control?!

also, your childrens squealing is annoying me; tape their mouths shut.

getting rid of my hair colour, the natural-ish way

So at school, I'm in the radio class. We have an ignorant teacher who has taken to leaving us alone without telling us that he won't actually be at the lesson, leaving us to sit around and do nothing. But he actually arranged a substitute teacher last Wednesday, and we got the 50 year old, balding Scottish science teacher Mr. Cunningham. Note; he's a little insane hahah :)

So anyway, when I was in grade 8 I had him as a substitute for my computing class, and ever since then he's remembered my name. Apparently I'm part of the Scottish clan of the Scotts, simply because my last name is, well.. Scott. So yea, he's remembered me. He also remembers my hair history.

So we were sitting there, and the conversation went as follows:

Mr. C: "exactly how many hair colours have you had?"
Me: "not many, maybe.. 3?"
Mr. C: "no no, I remember you had blonde hair.."
Me: "Yea, I'm naturally blonde.."
Mr. C: "Yes, but then you had pink hair!"
Me: "Yea, but only my fringe and the sides.."
Mr. C: "And then it was black, then purple, then black again, and now it's.. bright RED!"
Me: "yea, well I'm going an orange kinda colour during the holidays.."
Mr C: "all your hair is going to fall out!"
Me: "no it isn't.. I just have to get rid of the red and I'll be right. I'm gonna mix Vitamin C powder with shampoo and it won't hurt my hair. If anything, it'll help it"
Mr C: "you should use lime juice. that's just CONCENTRATED VITAMIN C!"
Me: "really? wow, okay!"

Sure, he's a science teacher, but.. he's blad! Hahah I just find that funny.

So anyway, I took his advice and it's working really well!



once I get it light enough (there'll still be a little bit of red left in it..) I'm going to put this colour through it:



Hopefully I'll finally be the colour I've wanted for so long.

Hopefully it suits me.

Happy Easter, even though I'm not religious; the chocolate is welcome.

for the past month or so, the levels of annoyance-y in my brother's body have peaked an all time HIGH! I've been pretty much constantly pissed off with him for about a month, but we're the type of brother and sister who can abuse the shite out of each other, then LITERALLY 5 seconds later we'll be all peachy as heck. I bet it's confusing the eff out of my mum.

So anyway, last Thursday we went Easter Egg shopping and me and my brother both got one largish egg each, then a carton of little ones to go halvsies in. But the boys went camping up to Mossman for a few days, and they left pretty early on Good Friday morning so I didn't get the chance to say bye, but I woke up and went to get milk for my tea and this is what I found in the fridge:



Luke had gone through the carton and left me all the pink ones. I almost cried, it was so thoughtful of him. Though this stint of extended hatred will probably rag eon, despite his little gesture. See, he isn't thoughtful very often; he's really quite selfish. Thus why this tiny thing almost made me cry.

Dont be decieved, he's stil an arsehole :)

So this is my mega egg I got, and I kind of regret it; it's damn massive!



that's going to be my body shape, post Easter season.

sweet faced sweet potato!

look who's been hiding in our cupboard for a few weeks!

introducing the new WTF Blanket!

genius, I love parodies of shitty info commercials of products that NO ONE FUCKING NEEDS!

love the book spoiler though :) "SPOILER ALERT Snape kills Dumbledore."

pretty dress for my formal this year?

"Because nothing says “I want to lose my virginity again” like giant hot pink satin labia hangin’ off the front of your dress. Am I right, fellas?"

hahah I found a new blog to follow and I heart it!

these boys always make me laugh :)

it was such a great night; more photos on my Myspace

http://myspaces.com/kellyshugsnotdrugs.

my wonderful day, plus a little about Brandon Lee.

okay, so me and mum went around to a heap of op shops today! :D I bought some singlets to wear on art camp (which is in 3 weeks!! /explodes.) and I also bought The Crow for 50c. it's Brandon Lee's (Bruce Lee's son) last movie he ever made, as well as the one he died as a result of. Here's the story:

"On March 31, 1993, while making The Crow, the crew filmed a scene in which Lee's character walked into his apartment and discovered his girlfriend being raped by thugs. Actor Michael Massee, who played one of the film's villains (Fun-boy), was supposed to fire a gun at Eric Draven (Brandon Lee) as he walked into his apartment.

Because the movie's second unit team was running behind schedule, it was decided that dummy cartridges (cartridges that outwardly appear to be functional but contain no gunpowder or primer) would be made from real cartridges by pulling out the bullet, dumping out the gunpowder and reinserting the bullet. However, the team neglected to consider that the primer was still live and, if fired, could still produce enough force to push the bullet off the end of the cartridge. At some point prior to the fatal scene, the live primer on one of the constructed dummy rounds was discharged by persons unknown while in the pistol's chamber. It caused a squib load, in which the primer provided just enough force to push the bullet out of the cartridge and into the barrel of the revolver, where it became stuck.

The malfunction went unnoticed by the crew, and the same gun was used again later to shoot the death scene, having been re-loaded with low-power black powder blanks. However, the squib load was still lodged in the barrel, and was propelled by the blank cartridge's explosion out of the barrel and into Lee's body. Although the bullet was traveling much slower than a normally fired bullet would be, the bullet's large size and the point-blank firing distance made it powerful enough to fatally wound Lee.

When the blank was fired, the bullet shot out and hit Lee in the abdomen and lodged in his spine. He fell down instantly and the director shouted "Cut!." When Lee did not respond, the cast and crew rushed to him and found that he was wounded. He was immediately rushed to the hospital. Lee’s heart stopped once on the set and once in the ambulance. Following a six hour operation to remove the bullet, and despite being given 60 pints of blood, Lee was pronounced dead at 1:03 pm on March 31, 1993. He was 28 years old."

so I'm going to watch that tomorrow. but after we went to all the op shops we went into Centrals coz mum got invited to this down syndrome girl's (who she works with) birthday dinner at Sizzlers so we bought her a pair of pink furry Hello Kitty slippers :D awhh, I betcha she'll go apeshit for them. for lunch we had this rocket, brie and chicken sandwich from Sumo Salad, and OHMYGOD they make one of the greatest chai lattes I've ever tasted. though Jamaica Blue put more cinnamon in theirs so..

but yea, then we went to the DFO coz I wanted to buy some cheap shirts from Cotton On, coz I have about 4 left over tshirt transfers and I have ideas of designs I want to make :D

then I went to Danika's house to drop off that Little Miss Sunshine poster I had. she has a "huge friggin bus" outside her house you know! ;D hahah!

then I got home, la la la'ed for about an hour, then went off to Tom's house to film the second scene in my short film. it took over 2 hrs, but in between all the wig wearing, jumping around, sheet cubby house building and throwing lego at each other, we got it all done wonderfully! :D me and mum were talking on the way home about it, and I got so excited about everything that's happening to me right now (submitting my work to Creative Generations, the REACH Arts, filming my short film AND Leigh (who owns The Young Company) telling me she'll let me know and get me into some film competitions) that I CRIED! I felt like such a fool, but at THAT exact moment, I was just so happy, I cried. feel free to point and laugh next time you see me :)
