I punched a penguin in the balls.

That’s all I’d like to say.
And that Mr Quill was that same penguin at one point.



:)




So perhaps you wonder, where this mysterious “Izzy” has gone?
Well the truth is….i have a very severe case of swine flu…
I fear the worse

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………..



Seriously people, you guys are seriously just too gullible. This is how rumors start.
Those who were smart enough to think with your head instead of thinking with your ears, congratz.
But i must express my serious ROFL expression in this situation.


Anyways, as some of you are aware, I am/sorta sick.
I’m sorry to everyone in my band group for not being there. I will probably come tomorrow, but my voice won't be at its best.
Hopefully it will be good enough =S

May I also note that this post hasn't really been though through that much so its kinda all over the place, in my opinion. And like I haven't exactly expressed everything in the best and awesomest way. xD

Moving ON…
The last couple of days pretty much have consisted of having breakfast at lunchtime, and just doing nothing:
• I’ve manage to get the basics down on piano for the song “Cat and Mouse” by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus and same with “Mad World” by Gary Jules.
• I’ve finished season 5 (out of 10) of Stargate.
It’s a really good American TV series (which I think most of you will hate) where humans find a “Stargate” which allows them to travel through the universe. Haha, I’m such a Geek!
I had a dream where I kissed Jack, but then he turned into one of my guy friends, who will remain anonymous.
The creepy part is that Jack is like…nearly 40, 38? *shudders*. Eww.

I have also been listening to podcasts heaps over the last few days.
I’ve strayed from the “comical” genre, and have branched off to music.
I want to know more about my music, to have an indepth understanding of the music instead of just listening to the music. I want it to mean more that it already does.

These podcasts involve interviews of bands.
The very first podcast was pretty funny. It was all these lead singers from the AP tour.
Pretty much these guys were joking around the whole hour and a half, talking about their tour.
And oh my god, it sounds like an amazing life to be apart of.
The adrenaline rush, the unitification for spreading the love of their music.
Everynight, they stand up in front of everyone unaware of what this show will bring, as every show is unique.
It blows me away.
And you know what, THAT is how I would want to live my life.
Something different and spontaneous. Even if it were to be for a while, I would love every moment of it. And to enjoy yourself, surrounded by friends without having your family hawk eyeing you, which i'm truly and waiting to escape from here.
Of course this sin’t all about the lifestyle. You can’t just be in it for the short run. I am there for the people and ultimately music.
The amazing part is that, they put away all their problems to unite and make beautiful music. And for that moment, from the very first song, those very first 3 minutes, everyone is just so into the ju ju that it doesn't matter anymore. Nothing matters.

These guys have been through shit to reach this point, and I am very proud of them.
I'm will support them the whole way.
MARLI, TO THE USA!

I was listening to Ronnie Winter (from the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus) and just finished his podcast.
At the end of one of his shows he ran the the door and thanked every SINGLE person that came and signed stuff and talked to everyone.
You NEVER see that anymore. ARGH I love Ronnie. He is so sweet and a TRUE human being♥ (haha, i just had a thought of him being jacob in twilight xD )
And he was saying that at a concert when he sees someone singing along to him, he gives them eye contact and personally sings to them, as that what his people dig. And I’m like *sqeeal*
Aaah
Musicians are such fucking inspirations.

Lol, although near the end the question came up about illegal downloading and he was full flaming it. And i was full like *shifty eyes*.

I've always had the mentality that if someone can do something, then I should be able to, despite how old I am.
Such as writing music.
I started writing a song on guitar pro which at least I can finish it.
MUHAHAHAH I SHALL BE FAMOUS!
Haha, I doubt I will be.
To me, a song doesn't appear THAT hard to create. Although I mean, making it up by yourself isn't the best option.Thats why I want to be in a proper band, who share the same music interets and are willing to go FAR. Band is family.

Even though I do realise, at the age of only 14, that there are many challenges ahead, and that I probably won't do this in the end when my career choice comes up, and we will probably fail as I do with everything...
But maaaan, it would be epic!

To create fucking music.
With fucking passion!

In the meantime, I need some god damn guitar lessons and same with my voice.
So I have some form of decent exposure to good sounds and to make me actually acceptable for anything.

Peace out xx.

Yes a Quickie.

.:.Stupid Maths test tomorrow.
I missed lessons on the polygons and the stupid 'Give reasons and proof' which I now find extremely confusing!!

.:.I've LOST my assignment, since it is currently on my LOST usb.

.:.I got my internet back, and have been downloading to find that I have only 17mB left on my 250GB harddrive that I share with my brother. I had to delete a Scrubs dvd, to make extra space.

.:. I hate mini tennis, and since returning to it, have renewed such hatred.

.:. Made my hair more fucked up-ier, thanks to my uncontrollable need to cut it, and fix up my ugly layers.
My fringe is now slanted ish, as I tried to even it up, but not ruin my side fringe that I was trying to grow.

.:. Will attempt to change properly to VA tomorrow. Yes, Ms OD did LOL at me for bringing in the same WRONG note from last time. *sigh*

.:. Notices that most people around me are not happy anymore.

.:. Is surprised Mr Goyki is growing a Quiff. haha.



END://



DAY ONE
5PM ONWARDS
The sleep over was of course the best part.
Emma and I got a lift to the zoo by my father.
It appeared we were sharing this event with about 30 Bally guys. Another 60 would be coming the next week. Macka had done this all the week before.
We were given free shirts, mine is oversized, and have to wear them.
Then we were briefed on what was going to happen in "Project Penguin".

Apparently we have to enter this competition for the best entry for creating awareness of the ferry penguins, and also they said they would call up Channel 7 and get stuff put on TV.

We also got to go on a night walk/ tour of the zoo.
It was really cool when I got to pat a mountain goat and also a snow leopard said hello to me (aka chuffed) :D
Yes, I’ve learned how to say hello in both elephant and wild cat language :)
They also told us story of when this komodo dragon escaped the enclosure...Generally it was a pretty cool experience, although sometimes the Wildlife Instructors really should put some lexical density into their language. We missed out on one enclosure thanks to the lack of it.

Oh also we took notes on some conservation programs, etc. Yes quite boring however we got to pat a Bandicoot ( wasn't it?) and I also wanna join the YATZ (Youth at the Zoo) where you work with animals.
Its from ages 13 - 19.
Cool huh?

Dinner x.
Shitty sausages, and extremely spicy BBQ sauce. I gave Darren like all my food.

L I G H T S O U T
Our cabin was all the girls in MSC, who were placed in one room: the library.
It had a kitchen which contained chilled water, coffee, microwave, kettle, tea, ice cubes, wine.
Yes, I said wine. Me and Tian checked out the fridge and were like OHH ;]
Haha, then the Bally boys overheard/checked it out themselves and wanted to steal it.
Of course we said that we were saving it for ourselves, as we found it first.
Anna, Eilis, Tian and me protected it from them and Liam when he came in. Well Anna actually kicked the door close whenever he tried to open it...
Anyways, somehow the teachers found out and took it away. Lol they were like "who were the girls making sure no one took the bottles?...Good job"
I doubt we would have had any, just so you know.

Everyone was awake in our cabin till about 1 or 1:30...possibly 2. Gossiping (truth black jack, stories, ringing randoms, etc) was happening in every corner.
Our corner had Me, Anna, Eilis, Tian and Zahra.
Originally Me, Tian and Eilis were going to pull an all nighter, but Eilis backed out since we were too boring haha. That left it to us, who succeeded :D

Lol it was funny when everyone needed to go to the bathroom at the same time, and the teachers were still patroling near the bathrooms, and were fully interigating people when they came passed.
We wanted to go in twos:
Anna + Me
Tian + Eilis
Chia + Liz
and I think Pascale went prior.
I pretended to have period cramps so that we wouldn't be asked to many questions as to why we were going out in twos.
I find it funny how our room was pretty much ignored even though we were both one of the loudest and had heaps of activity really late.
The boys room actually ended up having Ms Maggs (i think) or someone actually stand there until everyone went to sleep.

We got off lucky :)

.Tian cut her Project Penguin Shirt and she also cut it for Anna- which turned out really fail, but its super lol now since they have to wear it for EVERY time we miss school for the program.
I was going to cut my collar, but decided to fuck that idea as
a) I would muck it up
b) What was the point?
c) I did cut slits in the side. - gives character xD
d) Why the fuck should I bother?


3AM
Hmm, well Merrick and Aaron was in our room ( was Jack there? ).
As me, Tian and Eilis were starting to run low on conversational things and since Anna had gone to bed, we decided to go outside as we were told that the teacher had stopped giving a fuck about everything ( aka sleeping?) and all the other cabins were moving around.
Of course we had the "bathroom" excuse at the ready.
As we were walking back, we started chating to Jamie and his friends, quietly. We asked them if they wanted to come back to our room to chat, since it would be more interesting, but we gernerally decided NAAH.
Just as we were finishing the conversation, we heard noised from the tents erupt (where the teachers slept) and were like SHIT.
We tried to bail-walk but a security guard or some teacher was like:
“Oi girls, come here!”
And me and Tian explained that we had gone to the bathroom and saw the guys awake and just said hi.
Then he went to Eilis: “Wait”
And started telling her off as if she was the one doing something wrong, somewhat ignoring the story me and Tian had just told.
Hahahaha.
Always suspect the short one!

On our way back, we warned everyone that the coast was NOT CLEAR.
Then Merrick and Aaron hid in the kitchen, as there was a lack of place to hide.
Ms Maggs walked in and was full staring at them, but then walked off, as if she didn’t see em.
It was so funny.
Then they somehow managed to get back to their rooms without getting caught...lol.
And that corner pretty much went to sleep after that.

Which left Tian, Moni and me.
Yeah poor Moni was having trouble sleeping *hugs*

3:30AM ++
We used ice cubes to help stay awake.
Me and Tian were finally one of the last ones awake wen I decided to tell Tian a scary horror story.
She started getting all paranoid and believes she saw a face shadow on the wall.
Hahaha, it lasted for like an hour.

Then we all seemed to calm down.
Then we chatted for a while about random things...

Until 6am when we had to get up for the new day.
We had succeeded in our all nighter ♥

--
DAY TWO
6:00 AM start.
We had to get up so we could feed the giraffes at 7:30 and get the day started.
My eyes were tired, my brain sort of slow but it was alright for the time being. I could keep up with everything, i guess.
The giraffes are pretty much like giant horses. I didn't get to feel the toungue though, but I did get a bit of slober >(


We went to the beach to go through the lesson we will teach the children about the ferry penguins and their environment. BUT randomly in the distance whilst the instructor was talking, this black smoke came from the centre point tower and we were like OMG. BOMB/FIRE/WTF.
One of the instructors rang her husband and checked the news that there had been a Fire at the center point tower or something.

Pretty cool.
But the smoke faded just as fast as it had shown up.
EDIT:// BTW it was a fire in Westfield near the Center Point Tower.

OH yeah, hahaha at those nice gay photos with that pink bag, Madame xD

....
So we went off to get the kids.
I was partnered with Tian
Lets describe them:
*Two of them are pretty alright. Nothing bad I can say about them.
*This kid called Harrison (the better looking one of the group) was really cute, withdrawn but had that kind quality about him. I love him =]
*This other kid who we have dubbed "Spac" really annoys me. He tries to manipulate us into liking him and letting him do all this crap we don't want him to do.
And he always goes off with his bestie, which is like in Donny and Luca's group, although I don't mind. One less person to worry about I suppose.

At the beach he kept telling us to shutup, and was being a little so and so.
AND THEN TIAN threatened him that when we went to visit him at his primary school, he would be removed from all activities and would sit alone.
Haha, good on ya!
Then, one of the teachers came up to our group, and Harrison being really sweet and sticking up for us mentors said "Miss, "SPAC" has been very rude to them." awwwww.
Lol then Spac got his ass whipped.
And threatened to be removed from the program altogether. Obviously he was currently troublesome in class with that attitude of his, and people were aware of it.
Also we found out that he isn't liked by another of our little minons D:

Overall, once his attitude is under control, he is okay, but you get the sense that he wants to be accepted by us but at the same time get everything his way.
And he needs to justify everything so we belive it too.

Generally, that day, we kinda lost track of all the kids, but they are big enough to look after themselves I guess.
Me and Tian were about to fall asleep. I couldn't keep focused on things. If I was moving I felt alright, but sitting staring at something made my eyes all droopy. And the pinching thing wasn't working anymore to make me feel awake. Though, after the beach time with the kids , we felt alive again :D

BUS RIDE HOME
WE played a gay ass version of Truth and Dare.
We as in Anna, Eilis, Gus, Me, Tian, Zahra (Matt, Matt and Chris were sort of there..but not playing)
Course we are pretty pussy.
I mean I woudn't be (to some extent) if everyone else was willing, but that just wasn't the case.

Me and Eilis had to kiss Jesse on the cheek. lol.
Anna and Zahra had to put nose to nose with Matt P.

Lol those were shitty dares ( and it was quite a short bus ride) , but no one would get close to Matt and iono...it just failed? haha.
Or course there were the truths...

After we arrived, Me, Eilis, Anna, Gus and Matt went to the servo to buy stuff curtosey of Matt. I'm eating some of those chocolates now :)
Then my bus came on time unfortuately.

And that is where my story somewhat ends.

CONCLUDES ://

NOTE: Finish Commerce Revision!!! Haha I'm too tired!! Plus I need to finish watching Slumdog Millionaire by 8:30pm. I'll review it later.
Night! x.

I agree with Chia.
No one is blogging lately.
D:
I should really blog about art camp.
I know I should
And I will....eventually.

&&TODAY
Today was alright. My brain really didn’t work for most of the day. I suppose its the fact that I need to get back into the routine of things.
But despite that, it did go really fast.

English:
I was eilis’ replacement since she was sick. We had to analysis this picture book on homelessness.
Aareev was fixed on the idea that this 10 year old kid who STOLE A CAT was a junkie.
It was pretty funny.
And Jack (small) was on our table.
It’s the first time I think I’ve had a conversation with him.
He is pretty cool.
And Mr Quill let us "work" on our analysis all lesson, meaning we didn't have him going on about crap like he loves to do.
I suppose English was the best subject all day.

Maths:
I think I might be starting to fall seriously behind.
I am just unable to remember things, and I apply the wrong apporach to some questions.
Maybe I need a tutor
D:

Electives:
I’m changing electives to VA and Ms SHEEP decided to make me have “proof” that I’m doing well enough in all my other subjects so she can see that I will be able to catch up on the work.
WTF has that got to do with anything?
Lets say I’m failing at Commerce, and I want to change to something I’m good at. So I have to be good at everything else to do it?
Seriously WTF.
And if she says “no” then I’m going to MS Wyndham to complain.
There is no problem with me changing, except the effort to change rolls. Plus my parents have control over MY education, which comes first.
THEREFORE I should win in the argument.

Lunch:
I hate lunch meats.
Didn't eat anything but a mandarin and an apple.
Maybe that was why I felt sick in the arvo?

MSN:
I may be rather inactive, possibly.
If I sign in too many people talk to me.
And I can't actually do what I want to.
Sorry.
I'll log on when I'm prepared to speak.

MUSIC:
I love the band low....well it isn't the best, but I like em ;D
I actually only have 2 songs, Sunflower and Point of Disgust.
They are both from the Skins Season 2 soundtrack.
Thanks Fi ♥
Anyways, last night I left Point of Disgust on repeat....and it has player 162 times.
hahaha.
Its the song thats playing right now on the blogspot playlist.
Its a shitty version though, i don't like it that much to the one on my ipod.

I only have one song on the playlist right now, i'll add more later!

I'm working on my piano song.
Acutally I started a new one, that is both easy to play and can be sung lyrically.
Perhaps I'll post a video when i'm done :D

...

OKAY, that was a crappeh blog.
In compensation
I'm going to leave you with some awesome photography from art camp. (the one up the top is one too)
Enjoy :)
Only click on the last one if you can.
All the others are massive.
