I feel bona fide. Today my first wooden matryoshka arrived; a sample. I am going to paint and collage it, take photos of it to include on my application. I’m just not sure what type of theme I should go for, or whether I should get a couple and do contrasting designs… yes, I shall!
(I refer to the application as “the application for awesomeness”, because it’s much more fun that way.)
Seems plans to take the world (or at least GMCC) by storm are failed – how ridiculous. It seems that the meeting was a waste of time, because ultimately nothing was taken into consideration. I am too disillusioned to think about it right now, and seriously reconsidering – why should I put lots of effort and hard work into something that will be rejected without consideration? Grrrrr…
The whole thing makes me angry. This is a theatre company that does not even have a website. I said at the meeting that I would make a website, design a logo and some sort of brand identity for the company… and was rejected. “People in the past have said they’d do that, and we’re still waiting,” said one stalwart member. It must be so much fun dwelling on the past, as she seems to do it a lot, but in the meantime, does the company have a logo or a website or a mailing list or ANYTHING? No, and here I am offering to do it, for free too. I’m not sure if it’s worth trying to help anymore if our suggestions are not going to be listened to, and our efforts to volunteer our talents are going to be thrown back in our faces.
Rant, over.
Other than all that junk, it is amazing how things can just ‘work out’ sometimes. This concept is quite foreign to me, so it’s amazingly exciting now… very novel. Sebastian’s parents have a friend who is renovating a house, so they have accepted a whole bunch of stuff that would otherwise be thrown away. An entire kitchen, a desk, and… a bed. I don’t have a bed for when I find somewhere to live, and they have no real need for it – voila! Things can work out.

Horrible theatre company! We spit on them! *hacks a loogie*
Seriously, that’s just blind stubbornness. I would’ve gladly taken you up on your generous offer, but then I’d be smart enough to set up an email account or a blog. PSSSH.
But I’m glad for your newly acquired bed, and matryoshka! Panic At the Disco has this new video out for their awesome new song from their awesome new album and its got matryoshkas in them. Giant ones and animated ones. Cute.
Glad things are looking up! Hugs!

Are you applying for art school or something? You should talk to me. Coz I’m smart and I know what to put into a folio to win!
Even if my folio doesn’t reflect that….*shifty eyes*
Dichotomy is my favourite word for this week. And antitheses. I’ll be the smartest kid in the world if I use them in my lit sac correctly!

Syarness – Hacks a loogie? Is this a newfound ‘Aussie’ expression? Because even I don’t know it.. I’m assuming that it involves spitting something disgusting from the back of ones throat..
Oooh.. I love a matryoshka. However, it makes me a tad.. possessive when I see that there is a bit of a trend at the moment. It’s like, “Hey, I liked them first!”. Oh well, I’m a ridiculous girl.
Elle – Applying for art school for next year, that is the plan. But right now, it’s an application for a government supported program for people starting up small enterprises. It’s called NEIS – apparently everybody who puts in an application gets in, which is good, but I want my application to relflect my awesomeness, so I’m working extra hard on it.
Try and fit in juxtaposition, paradoxical and implicit as well. Teachers love it when you say ‘implicit’!

Paradoxically is a good one.
