The best Christmas I've had in a while.
It's strange, despite the fact that I spent most of the day nursing a sore stomach and wanting to throw up and ended up crying on the couch, contemplating suicide (just imagine what it'd be like to kill yourself on Christmas), this has been the best Christmas that I've had in a while. For once I didn't fight with my Mom (we always fight on holidays), I got to see my beautiful girlfriend in the morning and enjoy breakfast with her and her family and I was also lucky enough to have dinner with my Dad and his lot. Presents-wise I think I did pretty well with a new camera, money, cologne, iTunes vouchers, thing of awesome from Brooke/my birthday present from last year (I'll post a pic later) and a Xmas mug. However, what I really wanted this year was a real sense of belonging. Oh and knowing that you were probably having a better Christmas than I was didn't exactly help. I hate holidays.
Interesting facts:
- During the day I also took three naps.
- I have work tomorrow morning at 7am.
- I don't want to work tomorrow.
- I'm so tired right now.
Butters.

Update.
Sometimes I wish I wasn't so interested in everything - there's simply not enough time or money for that matter. Speaking of which, I'm pretty much broke and I need to produce $200 by Thursday if I intend to try out for Aussie. Mom's angry and I owe my Dad $600 so I'm in a bit of a pickle right now. Hmm.

Where am I going with all this?
Before I got my camera I had so many ideas. So many, in fact, that it became overwhelming but now my mind is blank. I'm guessing my sleep deprived state has something to do with it but nonetheless I feel lost and slightly scared. Studio 3/4 is fast approaching and I have not a single idea nor any sizable influences to work from. If I'm serious about all this I'm going to have to find my feet fast; this is not something I can cram-jam for on the last night of the holidays. Besides, I want this to be fun, exciting and open up a completely new world for me. I'm talking about a place that has remained so foreign to me, a place of ideas, abstract concepts and free expression, a place that I so desperately want to call home or at least be a part of. This is why I'm jealous of you Brooke.
Today while browsing through Mag Nation I decided that next year I'm going to try get my life on paper as much as I can. Most of the temptation to do this comes from my fatal attraction to stationary but there is also the benefit of becoming extremely comfortable with writing (on paper! no way!). VCE here we come! Speaking of Mag Nation, I think that I might start reading magazines - not only do they look cool on your coffee table but they've proven to inspire me in the past. Perhaps that could help me with my artistic woes.
The weather has been rather _____ (I can't remember the word I want to use EDIT: 'inclement'!!!) lately so attempting to get my time exposure on has been a little hard. I've also been rather lazy and haven't been touching up my photos. Deal with it.
Saturday. December 18th.
Sunday. December 19th (12AM-ish).
Monday. December 20th.
Almost matching cuppies.
One day.
Brookeybebz txt mwa if u dun lyk deh picachoos hehe.

It's funny because no one reads this thing.

Playing around with exposure times. (You better like this post or at least tell me you did because while I was taking these photos I was also trying to fend of plagues of medium spider-sized mozzies)
I really want to post but I always find something else to do. Maybe I should amusing myself with things like movies as they're distracting me from all the things I hoped to do over the holidays. Although, I must admit that Champions was awesome and so I don't regret taking the time to enjoy that.
In other news, I'm beginning to get a feel for my camera. I'm not too happy with any of my shots so far but I'm guessing that'll change with time. Here's a few I took tonight (minus the Luigi one).
You may be able to tell that I tried experimenting with shutter speeds. It kind of failed a bit. Eh.
Anywhoo, I should probably sleep now because I have a Year 8 reunion thing tomorrow (don't judge me!) and I have to get up extra early so that I can grab coffee with Brooke. So uh, yeah. Sweet dreams all.
Butters.
(give me time)

Apparently I'm reasonable (age is just a number)
Some stores have signs on their doors asking people to not bring in drinks. Of course, no one notices or takes heed to this sign, so when I left my drink by the door upon entry the lady was quick to thank me. She then went on to ask me if I was a law student. I replied that I was 16 and she said "ah, so you're not legal" [I wonder where this would have gone if I said I was 18+]) but then changed that to "reasonable" when I queried into her definition of "legal"). Anywhoo, she went on to say some things about how her friend had said some stuff about stuff and yeah. I left the store without pants but don't worry I managed to buy some within the next 10 minutes!
Also, I've decided that during the day my street is rather uninteresting photo-wise.

Life after camp. (Birthday w/ Georgie and my D90)
December 11th (My Birthday!)
Enjoying some much needed alone time.
Brooke came to pick me up and then we embarked on a tour of Canberra's major attractions such as Parliament and Questacon!
Gosh my girlfriend is such a happy snapper..
"Mama Woooooos."
December 12th (Birthday Brooke turns 16!)
Mandatory Sunday sleep-in.
Apple juice? Cheese and crackers? I don't think I'll ever be able to fly again without making a quick trip to the business lounge.
Touchdown.
Welcome home! (Who needs cake when you have this stuff. I don't know what it's called but basically it's a mixture of cream and blended strawberries which is set so that it becomes almost jelly-like. Served with fresh fruit on top. And marshmallows.
Candles change everything. Especially when lit.
December 13th
Are Brooke and I awesome or what?
Bibimbap at *my* favourite asian place.
I need a tripod. Bad.

A Summation of My Trip/December So Far. Almost
December 1st
Breakfast with the missus.
Went to MSY (computer shop) to buy an external hard drive. Ended up buying speakers and a babyccino as well. (Since when is a babyccino just froth??? Jibbed!)
Japanese students are the coolest thing ever.
Before.
Good cookie actually.
During.
After.
Canberra airport has *the* coolest restroom. I'd have taken pictures if there weren't people there.
Yes, I think I want to live there now.
Looks nothing like the photo on the website...
My 'TARDIS' and my handiwork.
Best. Girlfriend. Everrr.

My desk. It's gotten progressively messier.

That shouldn't be an island.
December 4th
There's a reason I was afraid.
December 5th
