is this the start of me 'going places'?

"Congratulations Kelly! After a lot of competition and difficult decisions by the whole visual arts department, we are pleased to announce that your work "Dino 1" and "Dino2" has been submitted as one of only 4 entries allowed by a school in the 2009 Creative Generations Awards.

The Awards draw over 600 entries from across the state each year and your work will be viewed by a panel of teachers in the next week or so to determine if it will be shortlisted through to the final competition and eventually selected to be part of the exhibition of about 40 works to be part of the State Wide Exhibition that exhibits in GoMa (Gallery of Modern Art) in Brisbane. If your work should be selected as part of the State Wide exhibition (which we at Trinity Bay will have our fingers crossed for!) you will get the opportunity to travel down to Brisbane in September holidays for a full week of workshops with some of Queensland's top artists on site at the Queensland College of Art (Griffith University) and QUT. You will also be presented with your award by the Minister for Education at a ceremony to celebrate your success. Your work will tour around the state throughout 2010.

We wish you all the very best luck in continuing in the competition."

I'm already heading down to Brisbane next Sunday for the week long Creative Generation for Film and New Media workshop, and I'm so excited, I can't even find words good enough to describe my emotions :'D I'll be taking heaps of photos, that's for sure.

If I get chosen to this as well, I think I may combust from happiness.

I should really be in bed by now.

I just watched a wonderful documentary, titled 'Trouble in Amish Paradise', and I truly think I'm going to wake up tomorrow with a changed perspective on how I'm living my life. I can't even begin to explain why this interested me, seeing as I'm not Christian, nor am I even close to being religious. But I am highly spiritual, and I am unhappy with how I look at life, and the simple life structure of the Amish (well, of Ephraim and Amanda) has made me want to look deeper into my existence, and to simplify things. They lived without major appliances and connections to the outside world, and they worked back-breakingly hard everyday to run their farm, yet they were very positive and loving and very happy people. Most say it's their faith in God and Jesus, but seeing as I don't have that sort of faith in me, I'm going to see if I can find faith in another form. When the world is so bleak and horrid and messed up from so many humans just fucking with everything, I'd like to be able to have something to rest my head against and have faith in. I'm not turning religious, but I am searching for something.

If you were interested in checking out 'Trouble in Amish Paradise', here's a snippet:

wonderful Wallea.

My wonderful friend Wallea found this, and it reminded her of me. In short, I love it, it's hilarious, and I'm considering making my own version of it and printing it onto a shirt :D I give you, pure awesomeness:

Jacob Black on Urban Dictionary.

So as far as I'm concerned, I'm a bit of a sad person who spends unreasonable amounts of time searching up Twilight art on dA. I was looking through art of Jacob Black, and in the artists comments section, was a link to 'Jacob Black' on Urban Dictionary.com, and most of them said "sxc wherewolf hu luvs Bella but she luvs Edward (lyk, thuh hottizt vampyre evuh) an so he fawls in luv wit Renesmee insted" and crap like that, but there was one that stood out, and made me laugh for about 2 minutes straight:



"that asshole edward"

hahaha! some people are just so blunt.

it's all lies.

yeah, for sure.

soy diet

Today is the start of my soy diet! I'm not going to be consuming any dairy, seeing as I'll be replacing it with soy alternatives. I've already tried soy yogurt (which actually isn't as bad as you'd think) and I pretty much grew up on soy milk, so it's not going to be too hard. I'm going to include a lot of lentils and beans into my meals, as well as a lot of green vegetables and rye bread.

I'm going out to dinner tonight, to the coffee-shop-during-the-day-Japanese-restaurant-at-night place called Yama :) it's in Edge Hill at, coincidentally, The Edge. I really hope they make some good sashimi! Plus, I get to wear my new dress, which is nice.

It feels like I haven't posted a video in a while, so here:



I've been reliving my awesome childhood for the past 3 days, it's great (L).

this is hot on at least 7 different levels.

So everyone knows the story about the bet between Peter Facinelli and Rob DeFranco, right? if not, YOU'RE A HERMIT! take a look:



So anyway, Peter won :D up for some booty shakin' Beyonce goodness? Version 2 by DeFranco:



hell yes, bring on those high kicks!

I do hope you realize this is all very bad taste, and god awful. grown men should NOT wear bikinis.

HAHAHAH!

formal hairstyle!

okay, so now the formal freakout has started to begin. I don't know how I'm doing my makeup, or what dress I'm going to wear, or how I'll arrive, and I'm probably going to be dateless and I'm losing my mind!

but I found a really gorgeous hairstyle, so I'm a little less spazz now:



yee-owh! I may have to alter it slightly; I look horrid without a fringe.
