Because I do that.
All the time.
My weapon of choice would be MacBook. With it's stainless steel outer shell, it would be perfect for hitting someone over the head with.
Readers, what's your weapon of choice? I know you won't comment, but think about it. What would you do?
No. Never mind, don't think about it. I do enough thinking about it for everyone anyways.
You know what else is a good weapon? A belt.
God, I've been watching too much Supernatural lately.

March favorites!
I know, very exciting, the first month of Autumn/Spring is over. Winter is coming, huzzah!
Favoreto numba one: The Big Tease from Lush.
Though I haven't been using it very long, I really like the idea of hair gel that's good for hair (although I'm not sure how good for hair it actually is) and it's been working very well for me so far.
Number two: Strawberry Feels Forever also from Lush
I've been using this for a few months now and I really love it. It smells like strawberries and cream and makes me smell like that all day. It's good on stretch marks, I have these weird stretch marks on my back (they don't make any sense) and it's gradually fading them. Really moisturising and softening, my legs get so smooth and delicious smelling.
Three: Karma soap again from Lush
When I first started going to Lush, I didn't like Karma. I think it sits next to the citrusy soaps and that makes it smell of citrus in the store. I'm not a huge citrus fan. Then the limited edition Karma shower gel came out and I bought it as there aren't all that many Lush shower gels and I find shower gels are easier and quicker than bar soap, so I tried it. It smells really different to in the store. It's like a sweet citrus, pachouli smell. Some people hate pachouli, apparently, I like it. Awesome.
Four: Cleanser II and III by Arthur Lawrence
(The bottle is different now, but you get the gist of it comes in a bottle)
Check out Arthur Lawrence stuff here, they sell all natural, minimal ingredient face products and I love them
I have really, incredibly, sensitive skin, I tried so many cleansers, getting a couple weeks in, thinking this cleanser was working and bam! My skin gets all angry for no reason. I think of it as too much of a good thing. All of the cleansers I tried were natural, but they still aggravated my skin (I had the same problem with makeup, I'll talk about that in a bit). Then my hippie god mother told me about Arthur Lawrence and I tried them. They're a little pricy, but totally worth it, a bottle of Cleanser II lasts me a good amount of time. I got my first bottle probably four or five months ago and it still has around three months use in it, that's using it once a day. I got Cleanser III around Christmas (three months ago for people in the future) and it's hard to tell because the bottle is white, but I'd say I've used about a fifth of it, I probably use it once to twice a week.
So back to how it's changed my skin. I used to get breakouts from the other cleansers that wouldn't go away for weeks, now my skin is clear and lovely. I really, really recommend these products, especially to people with sensitive skin.
Five: Lily Lolo's Mineral Foundation (Colour: Blondie)
This foundation is amazing! Same again for sensitive skinned folk, this stuff is awesome. I it only has five ingredients, all of which are natural. Huge awesomeness, doesn't contain bismuth oxide! Bismuth oxide is something nearly all mineral makeup products contain, it is a known irritant and is especially irritating to sensitive skin, and Lily Lolo foundation doesn't have any of it! Yay.
The coverage is great, I can't remember which ingredient it is, but one of the ingredients is really soothing on the skin and actually makes redness go away. It's buildable coverage, so it can be anywhere from light to full if you want. Huge colour range and really affordable, you can buy samples of all the colours for only £1.29 and a full sized jar for £12.49. They last for freaking ages too, I bought my first full size sometime in the middle of last year and it still has half left. The lids are a little flimsy though, so I've had to put it in a different container (an empty Lush one). I love this makeup so much. They also have concealers, blushes, eyeliners, eyeshadows and lipgloss.

And that's it because my hands are tired.

I bought turkish bread!
Yeah...so, I'm pretty much only going to be eating my turkish bread for the next three days. I love turkish bread sooo much.
Here is how I plan on eating my bread:
Cinnamon toast! I love cinnamon toast, it is the best kind of non-savoury toast.
Promite. Not true Aussie, but whatevs, I like Promite more than Vegiemite. (it's not the same, shut up)
Strawberry jam that I bought from a little old lady at the markets.
Some sort of toasted sandwich.
Now, I'm gonna go eat some cinnamon toast.

All of my Lush and parts of my bathroom (pic heavy)
I'm in a bit of a Lush frenzy at the moment. The Dirty line was just released and I'm itching to go into Lush to check it out, because the Australian Lush website is down.
So here is my shower shelf with my most used shower products
Top to bottom, left to right of the Lush items (ignoring non-Lush): Soak and float shampoo bar, New! shampoo bar, The olive branch shower gel, Coolaulin conditioner
Perfect potion rosemary conditioner (not Lush, but I love it), Retread conditioner, Snow fairy shower gel, Cynthia sylvia stout shampoo, Strawberry santa shower jelly, Joy of jelly shower jelly,
Yummy yummy yummy shower cream, The body shop shower gel, The olive branch (again), another TBS, Tramp shower gel, Flying fox shower gel, Grass shower gel, Karma shower gel, Snow fairy (again).
Non bathing items
Dark angels, but it actually holds my mineral make up because the tub for that broke, but I do like Dark angels, The big tease hair gel, King of the mods hair gel, Lemony Flutter hand cream, Go green smelly spray stuff, The greeench dusting powder, Breath of fresh air toner water.
My bath bomb, soap and bubble bar storage
My soaps stored in glad wrap so the smells don't mix (it's very frustrating when they all smell like the strongest scent (a mixture of Honey I washed the kids and Rockstar)
I couldn't tell you what they all are, but my favorites are Rockstar, Snowcake, Demon in the dark, Godmother (same smell as Snowfairy Christmas shower gel) and Karma.
Bubble Bars and Bath Bombs
I think I have like 12.
Favorite Bubble bars would be The Comforter and Creamy Candy.
Favorite Bath Bombs, well I haven't tried many, but my favorite that I've used would be Butterball and Mrs. Whippy, but my favorite smelling one, which I will be trying soon, is Think Pink.
I store the bags on hooks over my shower door
My ordered Lush
Top one is like 400g of Trichomania because I read somewhere that they were discontinuing it and it's one of my favourites, so I bought heaps of it. They're not.
There are also two Baby Face cleansers because I like them for taking off makeup.
Same for Coolaulin. Damn you, internet! Tricking me and such.
There's also a sample in there, I think it's for Dream Cream moisturiser, I haven't tried it yet.
Tada! That is all my Lush. I'm going to Lush tomorrow, I'm so excited!

I am a genius. Attention all braces sufferers, do you have pointy wires giving you ulcers and don't have any dental wax? Solution!
It's no good if you're going anywhere...or it could be if you cut it smaller...typing whilst thinking here, sorry.
My amazing idea: roll up a cotton pad and stick it between the side of your mouth and the pointy wire, like they do at the dentist if they're working on the upper side of your teeth.
Oh my God, it's so amazing. There's a wire poking me and I have no wax, so I was going to suffer until my brother wakes up and hopefully takes me to get some, now I'm fine! I'm so proud of myself.
Anyway, hope all people with braces and no wax find this, probably not, but if you do, I feel your pain.

Well, I haven't done any Lush reviews lately
So I'm just gonna get straight into in
The Big Tease Hair Gel -
I'm trying it for the first time ever right now. I just showered, so I took a finger tip sized amount, rubbed it through my fingers and scrunched my hair, let's see if I get the lovely waves that I'm hoping for.
The smell - a lot of people don't like the smell, I can see why, but really you just need to think of it as smelling like The Olive Branch because it does and I love The Olive Branch. The smell isn't as strong once it's in your hair.
End result - I'll update in a couple hours once my hair is dry
UPDATEY! Love it even more now. Still smells great, made my hair wavy and shiny.
Look at that. Awesome. I will continue to use this for a while, I think.
Heavanili Massage Bar -
Not sure if I've reviewed this before, it deserves a second review anyhow.
Love it! It's so cute and smells friggin' amazing. Super moisturising and lovely. Although one very minor, just sort of humorous thing is that on the front side there is a pink coconut oil stripe, well if you rub the pink side on yourself you'll get a pink stripe (it rubs in easily) or a pink hand if you're holding it with the pink facing your hand. Ha!
Butterball Bath Bomb -
I love this so much. To describe the smell I will quote my best friend, Kate, "It smells like babies!" This is true. If I knew what that smelt like or was sure it was a real thing, I'd say it smelt like buttermilk, but I don't know what buttermilk smells like, so it smells like what the word buttermilk leads me to believe the smell is. So it's pretty much milky and buttery, but not salty like butter, just buttery and awesome. Smell it yourself, Gawd!
It's surprisingly moisturising for a bath bomb.
Rub Rub Rub Shower Scrub -
Oh how I love this (yes, I love everything Lush has ever created). It smells like lemonade. My god, yum. For sensitive skinned people (such as myself) the exfoliating salt...stuff isn't too coarse for my skin, and I have very sensitive skin, so it should be fine for you as well. Don't use it every day though, once a week is good.
It makes my skin all smooth and soft. I love this one the most of the things I've bought from my trip to Lush.
Did you know I hadn't been to Lush since Christmas before this trip? Devastating, I know.
Those are pretty much all the things I've tried lately. I'm so excited for the new stuff! Have you guys heard about the toothpaste tabs? Eco-friendly non-packaged toothpaste! So exciting.
P.S. I listened to New Shoes by Paolo Nutini whilst writing this. I love that song.

It's too bloody cold!
My family is making me feel like some sort of cold-temperature-not-withstanding-yeti or something. I'm all "It's so freaking cold!" and my Mum's all "Maybe you should put some more clothes on" Psha! Long pants are for the weak. Although I am currently wearing long pajama pants and a sweatshirt. My feet are freezing!
Weather has been all crazy in Brisbane lately, really hot summer, then going into Autumn, still really hot, creepy on and off cold days, where it would be cold enough to wear a jumper and then the next day shorts and singlets were seen everywhere. I can take all this climate change!
There is a cat sitting on me and a dog next to me that is just staring at the cat. He keeps trying to eat the cat's ears. Like not rip-them-off-his-head kind of eat them, like lick them as fast as possible. My dog is strange. And my cat is strange for putting up with it...
I'm not sure why I just ventured into animals there, but whatever, it's my blog, I'll do what I want.

My hand smells like bubble gum
It's freaking me out because I'm drinking coffee at the table and I keep resting my head on my hand whilst surfing ze internets and then I'm like "WHAT?! Why does my hand smell like bubble gum?" And now I'm getting all paranoid, like, maybe there's something (SOMEONE) under the table that smells like bubble gum and whenever I move my head lower to rest on my hand, I get close enough to the bubblegum creature to smell it.
Or maybe it's because my hand smells like coconut hand wash and my coffee smells like cinnamon and that forms into the smell of bubble gum...yup.
P.s. One of the most hilarious blogs I've ever read, The Sneeze, updated today and I would recommend you read it and giggle like me.

Having the sniffles for hours after eating curry
And it's not even bad ass extra spicy, it's friggin' medium, you guys.
I am such a pansy.
I'm probably going to get a stomach ache too, freakin' pansy.
Sometimes I wonder what my body's deal is. Seriously, guy, you're not fun to be around.
It is 7:50 pm and I am tired. What is wrong with you? If I get less than 10 hours (even one hour) sleep, I am unfunctioningly tired. Unable to process any orders or tasks that come my way.
I am unable to nap. Napping is too difficult for me. Body gets all up in my grills bein' all "It's daytime, you're supposed to be lounging around reading fanfiction and over all being tired, this is no time for sleep!" Alas, body, I'm not all that mad about the whole napping thing; it's more so the insomnia that you've started doing. What is that?! No naps, no regular sleep pattern, the tiredness continues. Why do you make me wake up at 5:00 am? What is there for me to do at 5:00 am? And it's like, 8:00 pm and I'm tired, except I'm going to go to bed and just lie there for a while, trying to turn off my brain. I don't like you, body, you don't respect the guidelines of me living properly.
Also! The whole sensitive skin thing? Not so hot on that.
I got my eyelashes tinted yesterday and my eyes tingled, slowly drifting onto the line between tingle and burn and I was like, "Fine, whatevs, be that way, I'm just gonna try to ignore you for the remaining three minutes and hope you go away." It did, but it was very displeasing!
I am pissed with my body and all it's screw ups at the moment, fifteen years and you still haven't got the hang of things...

I have been watching The Office non-stop for four days
and it's making me crave Indian food.
I don't know why...but I could really go for some lamb korma right now.
I've also been watching way too much Supernatural. That show is really scary, guys. On the box it says "Seriously scary", but I didn't take it seriously enough, obviously. I would not recommend watching Hook Man or Scarecrow in season 1. They're so freaky!
Scarecrow's not that bad, actually, but Hook Man, my Jesus, that freaked me out so hard. More specifically the scene (spoilers, but you shouldn't watch this episode, anyway) where Hook Man murders this sorority girl (with his hook), while the other girl is sleeping in the same room and writes, in blood and hook scratchings, "Aren't you glad you didn't turn on the light?" The before scene was where the not murdered girl went to dead girl's house and saw she was asleep, so she didn't turn on the light to wake her. Hard to explain, but there were two doors in-between the bathroom and the entrance, and there was a space between them that was somewhat closed. HOOK MAN WAS IN THERE!
So now I'm watching the office to make me giggle and think Michael is an idiot all the freaking time and make me stop thinking about Hook Man.
Also, doors keep slamming shut and opening by themselves in my house. I think watching Supernatural has angered the house spirits/Hook Man.
Wish me luck in not being bloodily hooked to death by Hook Man.

I think there's something in my old airconditioning vents
There's something skuttling around in the old air conditioning vents above my room. It's slightly worrying. It made a noise right above my head *shiver*

You people are all cowards and idiots
Okay, I'm back because I discovered that I was too worked up to sleep, so now I'm going to talk about Harry Potter and other movies where everyone acts like an idiot and doesn't do anything useful. EVER. (i.e. All movies ever made)
P.S. You should realise by now that there will be spoilers to various movies, some of those include: Harry Potter: the one about Sirius, How To Train Your Dragon, Legend of The Guardians (The one about owls - no one seems to have ever heard of this movie)
Although I may forget about them all and end up talking about something else. So...Enjoy.
So Harry Potter Prisoner of Azkaban, right? Professor Whozits (I can't remember his name, but it has something to do with the sciency word for Werewolf...Lupe? I bet it's Lupe..) is turning into a werewolf and Sirius is all "Woah, I'm a dog and Ima kill ya" and so these friggin' wizards. Wizards, you guys. Just stand there all freaking out about the werewolf and I'm like "Dudes! You just learnt about werewolves in that class you go to sometimes, how bout you throw some magic at it. You know those pointy sticks in your pockets? They're magic and would be very useful right now."
But of course, they can't hear me and their idiots. So Snape comes along and, once again, I'm like "Snape! You used to (or will sometime soon? I can't remember) teach defence against the dark arts, I generally think of werewolves as dark creatures that are scary and should have magic thrown at them." Nope, Snape just sort of stands there.
And so the dog on dog fight thing is still going on and Lupe (Lupus?) appears to have the upper hand on Sirius, so Harry brings out (dun dun dun duuun!) a rock. Not a wand. A rock. Nice one. That'll stop 'im.
So that's the main gist of what I have to say about Harry Potter.
Onto How To Train Your Dragon.
First of all, don't you think the dragons are exactly like cats? Isn't that awesome? So awesome. I love this movie.
But that Hiccup kid pisses me off like nothing else. Dude! They're taking your dragon and their probably gonna kill 'im. How 'bout you start effing shit up and taking names. I know I would (I think I watch too many vampire shows and expect myself to be of superior strength to everyone else). I would totally smash people. Or the very least I wouldn't just stand there and let them take him.
Things I would do before I let anyone take my dragon (I think of it as if it were my horse or dog):
Eff shit up and start takin' names
Beat on people
Scream in people's faces
Thrash people
Tackle people
Catapult myself into people
Hit people over the head with mallets/hammers/frying pans
Bite people
Pretend I'm with the people taking my dragon away and then obliterate them when we leave the docks
I won't go on because this is on the internet after all.
I can be very violent when someone takes my horsey.
Legend of the Guardians. These owl guys know the score. They effed all the shit they could find up. They travelled for like days/weeks to eff more shit up. Owl dudes know where it's at.
Dawdling off into unknown land now, where I just talk about things I think of. Prepare yourself.
I hate Tumblr sometimes (ps. I started Tumbling and it's so addictive, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone). Spoilers everywhere. And no spoiler alert.
My friend, Meg (spoiler alert for Harry Potter at some point in the future (future?)) posted something about crying when fictional characters die and then listed some that made her especially sad and I was like "WHAT? When does Snape die?!" He's probably already died in the movies, I just didn't notice/haven't seen the most recent one, but I was like "WHAT?! How can that be?" Although it's fairly obvious if you read the above ramblings (that would be strange if you didn't and you just skipped to this bit...How is this bit more interesting?) it will be obvious how he could die. He doesn't have very good reflexes.
And with that I will bid you a due.
P.S. You should realise by now that there will be spoilers to various movies, some of those include: Harry Potter: the one about Sirius, How To Train Your Dragon, Legend of The Guardians (The one about owls - no one seems to have ever heard of this movie)
Although I may forget about them all and end up talking about something else. So...Enjoy.
So Harry Potter Prisoner of Azkaban, right? Professor Whozits (I can't remember his name, but it has something to do with the sciency word for Werewolf...Lupe? I bet it's Lupe..) is turning into a werewolf and Sirius is all "Woah, I'm a dog and Ima kill ya" and so these friggin' wizards. Wizards, you guys. Just stand there all freaking out about the werewolf and I'm like "Dudes! You just learnt about werewolves in that class you go to sometimes, how bout you throw some magic at it. You know those pointy sticks in your pockets? They're magic and would be very useful right now."
But of course, they can't hear me and their idiots. So Snape comes along and, once again, I'm like "Snape! You used to (or will sometime soon? I can't remember) teach defence against the dark arts, I generally think of werewolves as dark creatures that are scary and should have magic thrown at them." Nope, Snape just sort of stands there.
And so the dog on dog fight thing is still going on and Lupe (Lupus?) appears to have the upper hand on Sirius, so Harry brings out (dun dun dun duuun!) a rock. Not a wand. A rock. Nice one. That'll stop 'im.
So that's the main gist of what I have to say about Harry Potter.

Freaking out a bit about Block Exams
Yep, Block Exams tomorrow. I'll be fine...yeaaaah. Fiiiine. It'll all be fiiiine.
I'm freaking out, you guys!
Classic me, I'm mostly freaking out about being in different rooms and turning up at the Auditorium and actually have a test in D1 or something. Not really one to worry about tests, more so what I'm going to do if I finish before everyone...Will they let me draw on the back of my test? They didn't seem to care last year...but now I'm grade 11...dunno, frankly.
I have a Business test in the morning and Art in the afternoon...so what do I do in-between? I have no classes. Nothing to catch up on really...I think I'll just go to the wetlands and draw trees. That sounds nice.
All weekend, whenever I was outside, if I saw anyone under 20-looking, I would-internally-yell that they should be inside studying, don't they have tests to be freaking out about?! Apparently, no, little 12 year old girl doesn't, in fact, have Block Exams, and no, she doesn't need to be at all worried, because she freaking 12. She's living the good life. Don't have to worry about anything, act like an idiot, whatevs, man, who cares?
Conniving little girl, stealing my happiness just by being there.
I don't understand the concept of studying throughout the year and not just a few days before the test. Isn't that what homework's for? I pay attention in class, why doesn't my brain just soak up the information like I want it to?
Why can't I have a clear photographic memory? And not blurry images that you can't see the words in? Why, brain? Why?!
I need to calm down and go to sleep.
On a further note, I always get the sniffles in tests (weird, I know) or have a coughing fit, so I just thought I'd let you guys know that I have tissues and throat lozenges in my pocket and I'm worried that they'll think I'm cheating if I use them. We'll see.
Until your next instalment of crazy, goodbye.

Dear Glad Wrap and co.,
Your plastic food wrap doesn't stick to cold things.
What's the deal? Cold things need to be kept fresh (with sealed freshness) too.
Also, Glad Wrap often only sticks to itself. Maybe you should get on that?
Sincerely,
Eleanor Grace Self
Stuffing around and never doing any actual work PhD.
Woolworths Grocery Company,
I appreciate your dedication to providing soft freshly baked hot cross buns every day, unlike Bumby’s Bakery. I am displeased with your obviously week old cross buns that you sold me. Come on.
Sincerely,
Eleanor Grace Self
Stuffing around and never doing any actual work PhD.
Simpson Home appliances,
Your ovens rock. The house we bought 15 years ago had an old Simpson over and it still works great. Thank you for creating long lasting kitchen appliances and saving us from buying a new oven.
Sincerely,
Eleanor Grace Self
Stuffing around and never doing any actual work PhD.
The Sun,
Why are you so hot? It’s supposed to be Autumn and it's like 30 degrees. Come on, Sun, you need to calm down.

Riiiight. No internet when the power is off
Took me the amount of time it takes to turn my computer on and start checking my emals to figure out that internet uses electricity. I’m glad I made my fruit toast before they turned off the power.
I was like “Con freaking sarnit! Can’t read fanfiction”.
I’ve started reading True Blood fanfiction. It’s awesome. I’ve also figured out who Sookie’s gonna end up with in the books, as I haven’t finished reading the them, because there’s like a million of them. I deduced that it’s similar to Twilight fanfic where 80% of the fiches are BellaxEdward (i.e. Who Bella ends up with) and the rest is slash and creepy fics like BellaxCarlisle. *shiver*
So I won’t spoil it, but it’s who I wanted it to be.
Man, these posts have pretty much just been what’s been going on with me lately, haven't they?
Well I stunned one and killed two flies today. With. My. Bare. Hands. It was disgusting, but we don't have a fly swatter and I hate flies getting all up in my room and my food, so those bitches had to die.
P.s I wrote this on word and waited until the power was back on to post this

There's ink on my fingers
I just wrote three pages of Art notes in reading (study) time, so now I'm drawing. Here is my best friend kate's hair.

"Private study" has turned into stuff around on Tumblr and read fanfiction
Ever since they gave us computers.
I'm tempted at all times to read or Tumble and it's infuriating because I'm generally quite a good girl and having access to these things makes it difficult. Also, giving us spare time, with laptops, is ridiculous. How could I possibly to any work when you're not monitoring me, you're not even walking around the classroom, I just have to look vaguely like I'm working (typing lookas like working) and I can screw around all I want. The teachers are going soft!
I'm in Life and Faith at the moment. I finished my booklet on Easter and Lent last lesson, so now I'm spending the lesson on Tumblr. The internet is so freaking slow, it's ridiculous! Hrrrrr.
And I finished it before everyone else because I'm a good girl and I do my work, thank you very much.
Now I'm gonna go keep reblogging photos of David Tennant. Goodbye

Always listen to my brother
So as (none) some of you may know, I have a seperate blog for drawing and the like, but I have been advised to just put it all here. So for your viewing pleasure, I give you...A train.
an alarm clock
And a fish.
Not my best work, but whatever. What are you gonna do about it, huh?

I wish I were a bird in a bookshop
This hasn't got anything to do with birds in bookshops, I was just thinking about it after drawing this and now I'm going to talk about other things.
I said something somewhat innuendo-ous (not a word) a few days ago at the ol' school yard and my friends were surprised that I had said something even slightly sexual. This surprised me. I believe Jack's words were "I think that's the most inappropriate thing I've ever heard you say." Wow. My friends don't know me at all. Luckily, my good friend, Kate agreed that I am indeed crass and creepy all the time and there's no need to worry.
My fish have started killing each other (different fish) except they're the same species...so that might be it...or it might be because I keep forgetting to feed them. Life is difficult, okay?!
In other news, my sewing machine has broken itself. The underneathy doodads won't go up. Yep, you don't understand all the fancy shmansy sewing lingo. I keep putting off calling the place I bought it from...I hate phone conversation. I'd much rather just rock up there with my sewing machine and talking to them in person.
I should be doing my Study of Religion assignment, but I'm not. I was, but I decided I could have a break and write something so I don't go absolutely insane and kill everyone (I'll bet I wouldn't have to do my assignment then).
Currently listening to As Deep As Death by The Chemist. It is currently my favourite song, although I also really like Please Stay by Charlie Mayfair and Are You Fucking Kidding Me by Kate Miller-Heidke. I love me some Kate.
Well that was another pointless post. Ah well.

Stop trying to tempt me with your promises of affordable art supplies, Riot Art
I signed up for the Riot Art email newsletter thingy and the keep telling me about all these deals and I'm (like a sucker) all like "A dollar ninety nine for oil paint?! I'm there!" And then I realise that I already have plenty of paint and I don't need any, no matter how much of a bargain.
If anything, I want to get some cheap shellac flakes (beetle juice) to play around with or something like that, so I'm waiting for a crazy shellac sale. That stuff is like $12 for a bag. Seems a little ridiculous for a bag of dried beetles secretion (I don't actually know what shellac is, I do know it has something to do with beetles and it's all cool and goldish).
Memo for non-artsy people:
Shellac is this golden syrup stuff that you paint on collographs (opposite of a print - too hard to explain) so that whatever you're printing with won't be sucked into whatever material you stick to the collograph. That probably made no sense. I don't care.
I just finished my English assignment. Phew. That shit was hard. I had it so easy in year 10, just start rambling on about poetic devices and your good. Now, I have to think about what I say because it kinda, not really, counts now.
I'm gonna go make myself some food, so see ya guys later. (I know, that was a boring post, sorry, I'll do better next time, I'm all out of writing juice after my English assignment)
PS. 200th post happened recently. That's pretty exciting
