What am I supposed to do with this?!

Goddamn! I haven't been this mad at a bookstore in a long time.

What even is this?

I hate you so much, Bookworld.

And they have Fifty Shades of Grey in their "Featured" section!

What kind of a bookstore does that?!

How dare you, Bookworld?

How dare you? Finagling me out of a book? That's low. I just wanted to purchase a pdf of The Golden Lily. Now I have to download your crappy app, which doesn't seem to exist in the Australian App Store, just to read my book.

And! I can't even read it offline, I have to do a bunch of stupid stuff to get it offline and I don't know how to do that, so I won't, so I have to read it online, like a chump.

I guess that's what I get for not downloading something illegally.

Freakin' out. Oh my God.

I'm freaking out today. I have to go and meet with my Business teacher to talk about my assignment because I've been missing lots of school due to anxiety. I haven't been to school all week and the last time I went I kind of panicked and started crying and hyperventilating everywhere. That was lame.

So I'm going today and I'm all dressed in my uniform and everything, but I'm still freaking out a fair amount, so I decided to distract myself.

Here are the ways in which I have distracted myself this morning:
- Making faces at myself in the mirror
- Cleaning my makeup brushes
- Doing my makeup
- Making raisin toast
- Cleaning up all the trash on my bed
- Watching True Blood S05E11 (Holy shit, how good was this weeks episode?!)
- Tumbling
- Blogging (Current)
- Winking a lot because there is something in my eye (Current)

In 16 minutes I will be going to school and everything's going to get really fast and panicky and I'm going to have to go into school and try not to freak out. Wish me luck.

What did I just do?

Oh my God, guys, I just told Ekka lady friend that I'm interested in her romantically and she said she hadn't thought about girls that way and now she's going to think about it and oh my God, what have I done?

This is intense, I've never done this before. I've asked guys out, that's pretty straight forward, you ask them to do anything with you alone and it's a date, done; but with girls, you have to be direct, tell them how you feel, expose yourself and risk losing a friendship. It's scary as anything!

So for the next few days/weeks/months/however long it takes her to decide I'm going to be in quite the inner turmoil, freaking out even more than I already have been. Good Lord, why have I done this to myself?

I guess it's a weight off my shoulders, but not knowing was kind of nice, didn't have to bare myself, show my true feelings or anything of that nature, I could just be a bit flirty with this girl, but now it's all changed! For the better, but incase you didn't notice, I don't like change, so this is difficult for me.

Also, at the Ekka I heard a teenage girl say, "I don't like it here. I hate people. Mum, take me back to the shire!"

Ekka!

I went to the Ekka yesterday with possible ladyfriend and it was awesome!

For those of you that don't live in and around Brisbane, the Ekka is a...farm, rides, festival, carnival thing that happens every year in August for a week or something. It's really fun and we all get a Wednesday off to go.

The Ekka is a very interesting event for Brisbanites (Brisbanians?), or at least I think so. It really shows the joint patriotism that we Australians feel for our country. And I think it brings us back to the outback for us city folk. Here you can see a stadium of people standing to sing the national anthem.

There are many events at the Ekka, some are more traditional,
Wood cutting

Horse jumping

Dog shows

Biggest chicken competition (or so I assume)
My winner


And some are a little bit strange,

Horse and rider covered in glow sticks, or as I like to call it, "Tron horse"

The Toyota Hilux Heroes

Horses pretending to be motorbikes
It's hard to see, but they have handle bars instead of reins

There's a petting zoo (my favourite event and llamas!
Oh my God, baby chickens!

There's also this death trap, commonly refered to as the "Dodgems", which, even after telling my friend that I should not be given the wheel under any circumstances, I drove nearly the whole time. I also screamed for my life.

And dinosaur chicken!
