    @Dreadster It's "Nadsat" language, made up mostly from Russian words in the book A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess. It means "girl loves tea", effectively. Because I darn well do.

    my brother and i just shared the longest chortle at a child's drawing that happens to look like a male reproductive organ.

    when i walk into my room i still get shocked that there's a bed in there.
    in the picture above i was on a mattress but not a real bed.

    today was all in all swell.
    this morning i didn't have to get up until 8. i woke up at 7 and then had that sort of drifty sleep that i love. where i am kind of awake still and that way i enjoy the sleep that much more. anyway at like 7.30 taira came in and stood in my doorway for what felt like eternity asking me if dylan had school. she knows he has VET on Wednesdays but i guess it's fun to annoy Brianna and then start saying 'you should get up.' i know my plan. it is a plan that i carry out on every Wednesday, including last year. i sleep until 8 now leave me be player.
    so i had sport, then home group. they were okay. i chatted with Tasha during homegroup. it was fun.
    then i had english, in which my teacher said that i am far from ordinary and that she expects alot more work out of me than the others in my class. academic win. and then Lit. have to hand in 48Qs on monday regarding Minimum of Two so far. they are mostly done so it's fine. i do not like the book Deadly Unna. i do not like country australia or books about AFL. yeah, Specky Magee? NOT A FAN!
    i don't really mind Tim Winton as much anymore but i do mind all the stories about Jerra. was it Winton's intention for me to hate the character?

    i find myself saying in-depth answers regarding Deadly Unna. i'm in the same classroom for English and Lit and our Lit teacher expects profound answers and then in English people are just like 'wtf?'

    talked about The Great Gatsby and Clockwork Orange with Mr. Peters. i finally finished Clockwork. oh my, Anthony Burgess you amazing man. that was great. i really really enjoyed it.

    School photos next Tuesday. need haircut tomorrow. fringe shalt properly return.

    biggest shout out + love + awe + you are grand to @francis. he drew me. i am happy now. he is an amazing artist.

    Qs. do people make out in front of your locker...@erinzilla we must hurt them.

    IF NO ONE REPLIES TO THIS, HEADS ARE GOING TO ROLL.

    Here's the deal: I'm going to write a list of books I've been a n00b about and never read. You're going to tell me which ones to get RIGHT NOW, because I don't have very much money to be blowing around right now, and I need my priorities set straight by people who have read them before me. I'm thinking 2 out of these 4 is what I'll buy. GO!

    -1984; George Orwell
    -The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy; Douglas Adams
    -A Clockwork Orange; Anthony Burgess
    -V For Vendetta; Alan Moore, David Lloyd

    Hello shower hair.
    I hate you.

    How was everyone’s Tuesday? Mine was lovely, thanks for asking.
    I collect shot glasses cause I’m an alcoholic like that.
    Just kidding.
    But today, I was in target and I saw in the 99 cent section a shot glass made out of candy.
    How fucking cool?
    Of course I bought it.
    And I bought silly putty as well.
    Ok so everyone I recommend these books to go get right now. Pet semetary (Stephen King), A Clockwork Orange (Anthony Burgess), Let the Right One In (John Ajvide Lindqvist.
    Goooo they’re amazing.
    Ok sooo mah burfdays in 7 daysss :)
    And then my best friends birthday :)
    And then Christmas :)
    Yay for December <3
    What are you peoples favorite tv shows?
    I normally hate tv. I don’t know why. But my FAVORITES are greys anatomy, house, stargate SG-1, the Simpsons, anndddd Gilmore girls. And that’s basically it.
    Oh and cartoons.
    All cartoon.
    Ed Edd n eddy, SpongeBob, family guy….
    Basically I hate soaps and reality and the only thing I like about the news is the news part. Which is only on nowadays like 10 minutes out of the whole 3 hour programmes. So yeah.
    I haven’t gone to the theatre in like months.
    I’m too lazy to get driven to the mall. Or to take the bus. Its too farr  whatever.
    I don’t have any money anyways.
    I’m kind of in love with target. Anyone else feel the same?
    Today I went shopping there and I found the awesomest Elmo knapsack. I want itttt.
    Ok so I kind of really want to share my musical obsession with Mumford & sons with someone but none of my friends in the us know about them because their CD isn’t out here yet and their not on US iTunes. Grrr.
    So if you like them tell me! Because I’m in love with them. Their whole album rocks my world.
    Ok this is getting long.
    I’m going to Canada tomorrow!
    I love Canada. I love driving up there. I love road trips. At night. In the winter.
    I’m thinking of taking a year off before college and going on a huge ass road trip around America and like living in the car. That would be awesome.
    Ok bye! Have an awesome turkey day everyone <3

    @Baghead777 LMAO
    @Gonad's It's about a young dude (18 - 21 I think) who get's his happiness most from tormenting other's. Basically it's a movie half about the shock effect of cinema (Alot of people still are shocked at how full on with the violence this movie is) and the other half is to see his rehabilitation into everyday normal society. It is an excellent movie. It's old (Well it was made in in 1971) but it's a classic film. If you like the movie I would highly suggest the book that it is based on (A clock work orange by Anthony Burgess)

    I thought wikipedia would explain it better :P

    A Clockwork Orange is a 1971 satirical futuristic film adaptation of Anthony Burgess's 1962 novel A Clockwork Orange. The film concerns Alex DeLarge (Malcolm McDowell), a charismatic, psychopathic delinquent whose pleasures are classical music (especially Beethoven), rape, and ultra-violence. He leads a small gang of thugs (Pete, Georgie, and Dim), whom he calls his droogs (from the Russian друг, “friend”, “buddy”). Alex narrates most of the film in Nadsat, a fractured, contemporary adolescent argot comprising Slavic (especially Russian), English, and Cockney rhyming slang.

    I like transgressional fiction (Anthony Burgess, William S. Burroughs), coming of age stories(The Perks of Being A Wallflower, Looking for Alaska), and comedies. Also classical horror (mainly H.P. Lovecraft and a little Poe). I like lotsa stuff, really. A good read is a good time. Not gonna comment on the twilight series though. I'll just leave that alone.
