eeePC!

So, right now I'm posting from my brand new eeePC that the school has issued to all year 11 and 12 students. Itś pretty cool, but itś also really tiny. The keys are so small that I´m having trouble typing!
Our school is povo, and decided that they´d put a free operating system on them, rather than paying for licensing, so we are using Ubuntu, which is a Linux based open source operating system.

Must go now, school is calling,

Long time, no blog!

Wow, it's been more than a week since I've blogged! Weird!
So I went down to Sydney for the Ben Lee gig. It was really good! We got there at quarter to nine, and got our door passes. Mum then wanted to walk away and wait until 9. But I was like, no, I want to queue. lol
So we started the 'people with door passes' queue. Which then meant that I got to go in first!
So I got front row centre. =P
Mum was like, don't you want to be near the piano? I was like, what? She's like, well if he plays piano, isn't that where he's gonna be? I was like, he plays guitar...lol I think she was thinking of Mika...
So when Ben finally showed up, he played a ten or so song set. It was cool, although it appeared that I was the only one who knew the words to his songs...
The set was as follows, in what I hope is the correct order...haha

- I Love Pop Music
- Numb
- Love Me Like The World Is Ending
- I'm A Woman Too
- Kids (MGMT cover)
- Yoko Ono
- Cigarettes Will Kill You
- Whatever It Is
- Catch My Disease
- Song For The Divine Mother Of The Universe

Encore
- Ben Lee (The Ataris cover)

He then proceeded to leave, but stopped to sign autographs for everyone. So I got one on the back of my door pass, which I am far too lazy to scan and post.

I also found some pics online which I am in.I'm next to the girl in the maroon shirt, and mum's next to me.

I'm biting my fingernail in this one...lol

After that, we went back to our hotel, played on the internet and went to sleep.
The next day, we went out shopping in Sydney. I was thoroughly opposed to this idea, but mum said we could go back and have another look at the apple store, so I went. It was so weird! there was a woolies that had three floors! And then there was that supré store, and it had 5 levels! SCARY!
And then we caught the train to Wollongong, and visited family. The stupid guy at the ticket desk said my student ID wasn't valid in NSW, cos it's a QLD ID card... =\

So we visited family, and had fun and I made cookies and no-one ate them cos apparently my cooking isn't safe...

And then we went home.

It was a good trip.

In other news, I got a new notebook mouse yesterday. It's tiny!


Anyways, must go now. English draft is waiting.

Off to Sydney!

So the other day, I got this email from Dew Process. It read as follows:

Hi there

Sydney

Awesome! (If I lived in Sydney...)

I had actually forgotten that I'd entered this competition, and more than likely entered purely for the sake of it. However, I showed mum, and she (amazingly) agreed to let me go!

I didn't actually think she would let me travel interstate during the week, in the middle of the school term to see a concert. But here I am, packed and ready to go!

We're staying until sunday, since there weren't any flights back until then. Yay for family time!!
I'm gonna bake cookies! lol

Must resume packing,

Cyclone (again)

It seems that we are beginning every month with a new cyclone warning. lol

This one is named Hamish, and it is considerably larger than it's predecessor, Ellie.
Hamish is currently cat. 2, and is predicted to become cat. 3 by 10pm tonight.
So therefore, dad has decided to compile a new cyclone pack. It currently contains spam and long-life milk.

In other news, I am currently wearing two watches. A pink one, and a blue one. Just because I can. I can't see anywhere in the uniform policy that says that we can only wear one watch. So I wore two.

Must leave now, school must go on.
