lord unchain my hands

the premier's awards, today, were mightily boring. (basically it's a nice award whereby my good friend bob goes 'yeah, i've had a bit of a gander at your hsc results kiddo, and fair dinkum, i like em.' or similar.)

i got this cool glass trophy though, which i haven't even broken yet! and i didn't even stack it once. and, seated in alphabetical order, i ended up next to this nice chick who was about as cheeky and rebellious as i was feeling so we whispered throughout the whole ceremony--as all 916 recipients shook The Bob's hand and smiled as the flash went off. and we snuck out and bought some glorious fudge during rehearsal toilet break, so we devoured that during the ceremony as well. good times. her name's keira and she's doing some combined health-related degree at the cumberland campus this year. cool kid. quoted bring it on ('awesome! oh wow! like totally freak me out...') and that 'i like big butts' song with me. so she's fun in my book.

in (slightly) more earth-moving news tonight, i had a talk/debate/whatever with my mum this morning and she is no longer pretending i don't exist. which is a good thing.


sounds gracing my eardrums: the darkness, love is only a feeling
