Anecdote

Yes, hi. It's been a while.

Today I was walking home from school at the very lovely time of about three thirty. Very innocently, I was strolling along the path that runs beside the creek when i saw a man on the opposite side to me.

He was standing under the upcoming bridge holding a bag of some description and wearing one of those helicopter caps with "propellers" on top. As I got closer, I could see his bag contained bread crumbs and he was tossing them out to the large flock of pigeons under the bridge on his side of the creek with him.

As strange as that may have been, I took little notice and continued about my business. 

Right then, just as I was walking past him, I heard it.

He called "Pebbles! Come get some more!" to one of the birds.

And that was it, I couldn't take it anymore. I had to run up the bank and up to the side walk of one to the main streets just so I could let out my laughter without insulting him.

This added 15 extra minutes to my journey. 

Worth it though, I just couldn't keep the giggles in.

garrrrr im in such a bad mood but im listening to kelly clarkson so its hard to stay angry.

i guess that's a good thing? a great thing?

whatever.

im not going to go through and take out the bad punctuation and spelling, not to mention the numerous missing capital letters. im just going to say this: 

I WANT OUT.

hows that for capitals? its ridiculously true though, and on all different level. simple things like my home have started to really piss me off. my home. my family home. i hate it.

that's very unhealthy for me to say, but its easily justified in that i don't feel safe here anymore. i feel like a target, a sitting duck, at the edge of a cliff, waiting for the ground beneath me to crumble down. Nothing i can do can help or fix it.

And school. I know, how cliche for a sixteen year-old to complain about school. But it's not so much the usual homework or early morning blues, it more like a case of the I-don't-know-what-I'm-doing-all-this-for reds. much like the mean reds, im afraid and I don't know what I'm afraid of. I don't think a 6am trip to Tiffany's is going to make me feel any better though.

but despite these heavy woes that although from my keyboard may be very melodramatic, I am finding positives in as much as i possibly can and am trying to create as many as possible. I'm over just sitting by helplessly because i know that in my housing situation i am unable to help. I want to give back to the people who inspire and care for those who can't themselves. Unfortunatly, when freshly unemployed and in the middle of a credit crunch, its difficult for me financially support anything substantial so I have taken the following actions

1. Signed up to be a blood donor.
2. Signed up to volunteer at the lost dogs home
3. gone door knocking- NOT FUN but for some much-needed bushfire funds.
   

They may be small, but if everyone did small things like those, world suck would dramatically decrease (DFTBA) and superficial sixteen year-olds such as myself would have a lot less to complain about in their blogs.

H

i haz no idea

not much has changed since my last post (i mean actual post)

still melting away in this melbourne heat, still stressing about school.

so to find an interesting topic to write about? quite impossible.

I quite hate my neighbours  hows that for a start?

They make pre-tumour Paul Robinson look like an angel.

They make Britney Spears seem like Audrey Hepburn.

They make Barney Grumle seem sober.

Seriously, its at the point where im worried that they might kill my pets.

HATE THEM

.....................

^this delightful row of dots is my cue for a more cheerful topic.

how about Ireland?

I'm going there soon for a little trip. I expect some refreshingly cold weather, despite not leaving until their spring.

AND New York?

Planning on taking the Alex Day approach and having an inpromptual trip there. Once i have any source of income, that is.

Planning on not planning? I'm mad and contradictory. 

anyhoo......

for the zero people that read this i bid adieu

*waves*

imtryingtohaveaverylongtitleforthsblogbuttohavetheactualthingbeohsovery

short.

hot hot hot hot

its 42 degrees today, which many americans may not care about.

but thats 108 degrees fahrenheit. 

the only possible reaction to this is gahhhhhhhhhh

it sucks.

and my macbook is boiling hot too.

again, gahhhh

slight update

Yes, that's what i call it.

Why bother having a creative blog when i can just gush and slush the intimate details of my actual, wonderful real life?

Well, school is starting soon and i haven't done any holiday homework or preperation for when the second of february rears its ugly head. No stationary purchased, no labels printed, no idea where the uniform is........

oops. Must have thrown it somewhere during my 'schools out' celebratory dance at the end of year ten. (God, seems like more then two months)

But through the horrid storm clouds of school and the dreaded start of VCE comes the lovely silver lining that is my resignation from work. No more long commute, shitty pay or general disrespect.

JUST REALIZED! (with the help of my ADHD-style wandering mind) that this is the first 2009 blog. 

Seeing as my other ones take the theme of times of year-christmas, thankgiving, etc.-i will inject your mind with some new year spirit. Excuse the 23 day delay.

       Hannahs Resoloutions as of now

1. Study harder- off to a pretty bad start there, missy.

2. Start vlogging- just something small like video responses to start with, then expand horizons.

3. volunteer-boost karma's brownie points.

reading this back, i feel sorry for whoever will read this. tis a bit strange.

2008. The Year That Was

with the year almost over, i wanted to do a blog reflecting back on 2008. Unfortunately, I'm incredibly uncreative at the moment so instead i will complete a little survey thing i found in a bulletin on myspace. I believe this particular one is from my friend Rachel....
