Holiday Entry Numero Duo

Whoever thought that partaking in the sublime art of bloggery would be a fantastic distraction from the clandestine, often perceived as non-existent world of optional homework?

Really, I shouldn't be avoiding it. I'm probably the biggest nerd you're ever likely to meet, or read about for that matter, and given the magnitude of my nerdiness homework evasion shouldn't be part of the plan, especially when I was the one who concocted such a notion that would make every dumbarse quiver with fear. In addition to this, I'm avoiding the subjects I like - English and VCE Unit 1 Music Performance - and completing the homework for the subject I'm supposed to emphatically resent - maths - within five days of getting it. Observe irony in its primary locations.

Aside from these procrastinatory paradoxes, I'm having a really good break. Thursday has probably been my favourite day, given that I caught up with my three favourite people in the known universe. We hadn't seen each other as a group for over two months so it was insanely, spectacularly brilliant to be able to interact with our voices as opposed to typing frantically. I'll never forget the look on Robin's face when he opened his birthday present, or Elliot's warmth when he raced over to give me a hug. Seeing them just made me realise how much I missed them; they really do play an integral role in defining who I am. Such is friendship.

And my God, despite his evident aversions to foreign language ranting and creativity, Roman is a cracker. Need I say more?

For someone who fits the criteria for a group of individuals notorious for lack of socialising, I've got a lot on this week. Seeing friends on Monday and Friday, going gift shopping for the second week in a row on Wednesday, (much to the annoyance of my bank account) and on the days in between I'll hopefully be chatting away on MSN to Roman. I am totally aware that this does not necessarily fit in the category of "socialising", but given that it's going to be the first day of the month with fast internet, how could I resist?

I want to buy an iTunes card so that I can download some jazz and heavy metal music (and then review it for the Arts Zine). Whether my budget will allow for such extravagance, we shall soon find out...

Anyway I'll catchya later,

Bethany
