I really like that word ursh...

anyways... i have some TOTALLY awesome news to tell people.. and without sounding like too much of a total moron, brag, ego-centric, egotistical nut head, here goes.

anyways.. some of you know that I got one of my paintings into the 2007 year 12 art perspectives at the WA art gallery! so that is old news... but I woke up this morning with three pretty cool letters.

the first one said that they also wanted to show my art folio at the perspectives! SO I am SOOOOOO totally excited.... I have been informed by my art teachers (whom are probably lying to try and make me feel good) that its really hard to get your folio into the perspectives... so ho hum!

anyways second letter was a little more boring.. one from ms Blackwood.. principal.. thanking me for painting a picture, which Ms Tholet (drama) bought from me to give her for christmas... also told me congrats with my TER and etc... so that was really nice...

and the third letter said that I had been chosen to audition for the 2007 year 12 drama perspectives! which is even more of a shock.. as even though I got a high mark, i thought it was because I my written exam. I get to audition, and If i make it through then I can perform for people (mostly new year 12s)... I probably wont get through.. but Its exciting just knowing that they ACTUALLY thought I was an okay actor! - phew!

anyways thats pretty much the news of my life... atm.

Its been a long time since I last updated this things.. so a few things have happened in the mean time...

-did final leaving exams (TEE exams)
-went to leavers, had a relaxing time (thanks to ursh! xxx )
-found a job (holiday care for children)
-did lots of cool stuffs...
-did not get into the course I wanted to get into (there is also this year)
-had a little get together with friends a few days b4 xmas.
-my grandmother died on xmas eve... which was a little be of a shock - though sadly our family knew it was coming. The even sadder thing was that she died on my dads birthday.
-Xmas was not as eventful as it normally is, seeing that we still had xmas at my grandfathers (and grandmothers ) house, it was very hard to open presents without her there...
-oh and I got an ipod! which was totally awesome (a new one)
-day after that I got my TEE results.. which even though I was slightly dissapointed with.. (it was like 0.15 below my goal) I am still very glad that all my hard work (and not so hard work) payed off.
-grandmothers funeral was held a few weeks after... and that was SO devistatingly sad and hard - especially for my grandmother.
-and now its... now... and I have been hanging with Brenna for about 2 weeks (or doing totally nothing)...

So pretty much the last month and a bit have been SO eventful.. that its odd that I am felling calm at the moment.

Its still technically holidays... so I shouldn't be stressing about anything at the moment... but at the moment there really is much to stress about.

anyways I should go... dinner is ready (I helped my dad make it... which I NEVER do, because my mum and sister have gone down south) and I should go an eat and watch... Lord of the Rings! yeah that sounds good...

Cheers people! and I am missing Lots of my friends from school (those who are away.. and those who arent)

Love Evelyn xxxx (Iced_Cherriez)

We were just given a sheet of paper, saying that our year 12 quote (something that goes underneath out photo in our year book) is due in next thursday.

I have NO idea what-so-ever as to what to write as mine... I need an idea.. anyone...

anyways I have been looking for interestingly witty quotes.. and I have compiled a list of quotes that I think are great.. however I couldn't possibly put them under my photo...

here they are:



"Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car."

'War doesn't determine who's right. War determines who's left." - that one is nasty

"If you think things can't get worse it's probably only because you lack sufficient imagination"

"Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are good is like expecting the bull not to charge because you are a vegetarian"

"The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources"

"Advice for the day: If you have a headache, do what it says on the aspirin bottle: Take two, and KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN"

"You can go anywhere you want if you look serious and carry a clipboard" - (I love this one!! advice to teachers everywhere)

"Love is like pi - natural, irrational, and very important" (brenna should have something like this)

"life, n.: A whim of several billion cells to be you for a while" (for a human biol student???)

"It isn't homework unless it's due tomorrow." (gawd I have no idea what I want to put )

"You never learn anything by doing it right."

"Anyone who uses the phrase "easy as taking candy from a baby" has never tried taking candy from a baby. "

"Every rule has an exception. Especially this one."

"Drawing on my fine command of language, I said nothing." (for some reason this reminds me of Grace..)

"If you're gonna go, go obnoxiously." (great for leaving year 12... haha)

"If you look like your passport picture, you probably need the trip."

"If the grass is greener on the other side, you can bet the water bill is higher. ." (now these have nothing to do with year 12.. oh well)

"The old believe everything, the middle- aged suspect everything, the young know everything"

"Power, n.: The only narcotic regulated by the SEC instead of the FDA"

"Calling an engineer an applied scientist is like calling an artistic painter an applied pigment chemist." (haha if only it was the other way around..)

"Mark's Dental-Chair Discovery: Dentists are incapable of asking questions that require a simple yes or no answer" (gawd WAY off topic...)

"if my calculations are correct SLINKY + ESCULATOR = EVERLASTING FUN" (just because of the randomness.. that would be a great quote to have though...)

"I don't suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it." (now thats a Steve quote..)

"Last night I lay in bed looking up at the stars in the sky and I thought to myself, where the heck is the ceiling."

"I am not a vegetarian because I love animals; I am a vegetarian because I hate plants."

"In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and is widely regarded as a bad move"

"One of the great things about books is sometimes there are some fantastic pictures." -George W. Bush" (WOAH... stupid...)

"My mother never saw the irony in calling me a son-of-a-bitch."

"Why do they call it PMS? Because Mad Cow Disease was already taken!"

"When people talk to God, it's called prayer. When God talks back, it's called schizophrenia."

"The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory." (I like that one...)

"Murderer? Well, that's a harsh word. I prefer to think of myself as a Mortality Technician." (I wonder what ms Blackwood would say if i had this one..)

"I love deadlines. I especially like the whooshing sound they make as they go flying by." (that is SUCH a steve quote... just because of the way its said... not that steve fails to get things in on time.. anymore...)

"I planted some bird seed. A bird came up. Now I don't know what to feed it."

"Go into a store's fitting room and announce loudly "there's no toilet paper in here!""

"Food is an important part of a balanced diet."

"Life is a sexually transmitted disease with 100% mortality."

"One morning I shot an elephant in my pyjamas. How he got into my pyjamas I'll never know"

"Christ is so cool. He's born, I get presents. He dies, I get chocolate" (hahhhhahahaa so true..)

"Basic Definitions of Science: If it's green or wiggles, it's biology. If it stinks, it's chemistry. If it doesn't work, it's physics." (and this one is for meher.. the one of three sciences..)

"Radioactive cats have 18 half-lives." (thats one for soph)

"Some people can tell what time it is by looking at the sun, but I have never been able to make out the numbers."

"If you think education is expensive, try ignorance" (gawd imagine...)

"Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months" ( i still love this one..)

"If you're anything like me... and I know I am..."

"Bill:Who are you and how did you get in here? Frank: I'm a locksmith. And... I'm a locksmith..." (hahaha I love that one!!!)

"Your lucky number is 32345543423225. Watch for it everywhere."

"Q: How far can you see on a clear day? A: 93 million miles...from here to the Sun."

"A professor is one who talks in someone else's sleep."

"Suicide Booth: You are now dead! Thank you for using Stop and Drop, America's favorite since 2008."

"My problems all started with my early education. I went to a school for mentally disturbed teachers." (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAAAA for some reason .. this reminds me of Ms Jane)

"No shoes, No shirt, No service.. So do I have to wear pants?" ( I always read that on the pub door at Burswood...)



Sorry about the LONG list of quotes.. they just get funnier and funnier..
I'd give you the website.. but that would mean my hard work looking for them all would mean nothing..
I hope you enjoyed them!!
Now I am off to look for house quotes... maybe I shall find one there..

Love me

I'm upset now! It almost the end of the holidays, I'm sitting on the couch pretending I dont exsist while my family watches so you think you can dance... because there is nothing else on television and I just found out that my birthday is apparently the most depressing day of the year.
Listen the this:

'LONDON - Is the midwinter weather wearing you down? Are you sinking in debt after the holidays? Angry with yourself for already breaking your New Year's resolutions? Wish you could crawl back under the covers and not have to face another day of rain, sleet, snow and paperwork? Probably. After all, it's Jan. 24, the “most depressing day of the year,” according to a U.K. psychologist'

I know its not london here.. its actually quite the opposite.. but it is hot and gross and i prefer winter.

why does it have to be on my birthday??

to add to that I have to go back to school on my birthday..

the website where I found this is -[link]

its filled with psychologist reports, math equations and forums .. all agreeing..

I just returned from down south.. which I have been calling denmark, however it really is called lowlands (in between albany and denmark). I had an okay time.. i painted a few pictures (one of two guildian finches and a mountain tree frog. And I think kept my sanity by listening to the southing sounds of gerald butlers voice... I didnt have any other music to listen to because all my ipod songs got whiped before I went down south (again!) and I quickly added some songs before I left.. but could only find my phantom CD...

last of all, I have finally ALMOST got all of my school books and names them all.. and I was wondering if everyone was taking theirs to school on wednesday.. because I think mine are too heavy and frankly.. i cant be stuffed..

Love you all!

I was just reading Urshies Journal on ideas for stories... as you do.. and i just realised how great my need to write lists is.
I never used to write lists.. but suddenly (over the past few weeks) I have needed to write down everything that i need to buy, go to, look up, download, and remember. It's crazy... i have this compulsive need to write anything. Even if it doesnt make sense. for example I jsut wrote - 'write notes - lists for me'. does that make sense to anyone?
to make it even worse.. i re-write these lists.. over and over again. I have to get them perfect. If i write a letter wrong.. and miss spell a word I need to rip out the paper and start again. I have this book. that I once used for year nine maths notes. But now its titled 'my book of lists things and organising stuff'. and half the pages have been written more than three times.
My current lists consists of:

freeze grapes
buy diary for desk
watch proof
Mozart Quartet K157inc (ede844317)
big book for lists
Rent soundtrack
hair
The Prestige
7:15 Monday

I dont think it makes much sense at all.. but i needed to write it.
I think i am going crazy. Please tell me i'm not.

me xx
