Hello who ever's listening!

hmmm...so whats news...

I quit my band!
Tristan lied to the organisers of a gig and said we couldn't play (load of crap) and put his new band in instead. The one with Amber in it... (throws up) One of many bastardly things he's done lately so..I quit! There was fall out... For some reason Tristan and Amber started a whole myspace thing, bagging the shit out of me and saying I 'slandered their name'. ahem, sure.
They then played the gig, which I happened to be Stage Manager at and refused to get off stage when I told them too. The co ordinator finally got them off and they'd run 20 minutes over time! But no, it doesn't end there, the key boardist then came up to me backstage and asked why I cut their set short. GAH!

Me and Adam are still together. It's his birthday on Thursday, he's 19! It'll be 10 months on the 7th. Isn't that crazy? It's weird to think that there's a chance I might be with him for the rest of my life (fingers crossed!) It's even weird that he thinks that too! I think I have the idea that guys are terrified of marriage/kids but I find him slipping up. It's the whole 'when' versus 'if'. If they say 'when we...' instead of 'if we...' its a sure sign ha ha ha. But yeah, he's lovely. Not sure if I posted this stuff here yet, prob not because I'm shocking with livejournal but since we've been going out, he's:
quit smoking
stopped drinking (apart from the occasional)
started excersizing
ate healthy
lost 15kgs!
He's crazy healthy and fit now. Sexy too... ;P Not that he wasn't sexy before of course! Oh! and he's cut his hair. Got rid of the emo fringe. He looks delightful!

My Dad's overseas again. He came back for two weeks a while ago and I think he's back in October some time. He's got a new girlfriend! She's coming for Christmas, maybe moving over next year! Not that I haven't heard this all before (and a woman is yet to move over) but sounds promising this time. I think he's really happy.

Speaking of which, my brother has a girlfriend too, Aimee. Haven't met her yet but she sounds nice. Gah, hate my brother lately though. Every time he comes back from uni he's a bastard. Stupid uni people, you've corrupted him!! And he's ugly now too. Yesterday he dreaded his hair. Must say, looks better than the greasy long hair. (throws up again) He's going to the gym so he has muscly arms, but he drinks too much so he has a pot! Weird, ugly look. And I tell him so, is that mean? Oh well. Whenever I've had a fashion crisis he's let me know. *shrugs*

School is getting crazy. As I told Charlotte, This holidays is 2 weeks and I have 10 essays and 1 mega mega crucial art folio (50% of my year 12 Art mark...) so I'm flat out. It's Tuesday of the second week and I've done 6 essays so far so I think I'm doing pretty good!

Anyway, hope that tied you over. I know I know, you've all been going crazy. Where's Ellen?! What if somethings happened?! But no, I'm just too busy to blog. I haven't written in my proper diary for 5 months!! tsk tsk Ellen. slack.

Tomorrow will be my one year anniversary of flying to LA. scary.

Anyway, time for tea at the grandparents for Tom's birthday (tomorrow also).

Love and hugs!
Ellen.

PEE. ESSE.

Dream 1 = http://www.nyaa.edu/index.html

Makes me want to die.

Crazy crazy crazy.

Well the gig went well. Actually, it went really well. I was really pumped before it. We put on a good show. We have about four gigs coming up in the next two/three months which is GREAT!

Tristan and Amber are still being confusing. (btw, thats Tristan my guitarist/really good friend and Amber, Adam's psycho-bitch girlfriend) Are they together? have they been? whats the hell's going on?!?! But I think that Trist's really sick of all the scandal so it might be dying down... I'm kinda over it actually, let him make his own mistakes.

Anyway! It's holidays and I'm busy as always. Been seeing Adam pretty much everyday, except yesterday actually...and Tuesday. Been having lots of band practises aswell.
On Tuesday, me and some of my Funship commitee (the commitee that organises under-age events and music gigs) showed some Indian/African people around Ballarat. PLAN is what they're called.
They're involved in Childrens rights and stuff like that over in thier countries. They're here for the Commenwealth Games. We showed them around Soveriegn Hill and stuff. They were pretty cool
Today Liz is coming over, we're hoping to make our own dresses for Boatrace (our big school dance). Should be fun!

Hopew you're all doing marvellously.

Ellen.

I'm updating this again...
Partly because I remember to, and partly because I have a major essay to do for Art and....well....I'm not doing it.

Tomorrow my band has another gig, which I'm kind of not looking forward to...
We have lost our bass player/singer. So I have to sing all the songs.
I'm kinda stressing coz I lost my voice yesterday.

But it should be good. Coz the other bands we're playing with aren't terribly great so we arent gonna look bad. ha ha. Plus we are playing

Orchestrated Epileptic Fits.

THE most orgasmic song we've ever written. And I helped write all of it. Not to sound up myself... It's just that its a very good song.

Ah Adam. His Mum says she thinks I could be the one.
*squeal*

Look after yourself.
Ellen.

So I was thinking today...
do I have the perfect life or what?

I mean, ok.
I'm in a band with two of my best buddies. Trist-baby and Dyl-man..
I'm actually doing well at school atm.
Im in yr.11 Which means not long left but its not scary futureness.
I have a wonderful family. I love my mummy.
I've been overseas alot.
I have millions of great friends whom I love dearly.
and plus...
I have the most perfect boyfriend in the whole world. ever

I feel really lucky at the moment. Like everything is falling into place. Don't get me wrong, I have my shit days. Where I feel stressed and pressured and argh. But meh, thats like a tiny percentage of it.

he he, forgive me. But I'm really happy tonight.

PS. forgive me also, I never write in this thing coz no one ever comments. But Char yelled at me. ^_^

Well this year I wanted three commercial items:

1. A good digital camera for my artiness
This was bought with my own money before I went on exchange.

2. An ipod
This was donated by my luverly exchange, who was upgrading to a Nano (this is a first generation ipod, retro to the extreme. Buttons and clickwheel. I love it still though.)

3. A mobile of my own.
I have been successfully using my mothers. She never uses it and that way I dont pay for credit. Slightly annoying factor is that she could read my messages. Though she didn't, Adam is a very paranoid man. And therefor;

HE BOUGHT ME A PHONE!

Adam bought me a fucking mobile phone. And it's cool too. It's blue and flippy with a camera/recording thingy and an mp3 and a Lord Of The Rings game.

It's so cool I shall die. It was my hardcore present of the year.

He came to my family Christmas dinner. It was pretty harmless though. Not full on or anything. Tomorrow I'm spending all Boxing Day at his Uncle's in Melbourne. I'm slightly scared... Should be right though.

Oh! and my wacky, cool present of the year came from my Dad. Among a few other things he brought me a kimono from Japan.
I'm surprised by how few people actually know what a kimono is. It's that dress that Japanese women wear, with the cool sleaves. Part of yukata.
I've actually always wanted a kimono so Im happy.
It's an antique or something. (but in wearable, good condition)
It's a wedding kimono, to be worn at weddings. Sweet.

Merry Christmas!!
What you all been doing?

bite. I just lost my virginity. My Live Journal virginity that is...

So I leave Canada in four or five days. It's really sad and i don't want to leave. Things would be much easier if Adam just moved here. :P nah...he's not the only reason I'm excited to be going home.
I miss everyone so badly (though I get the feeling that I could stay here without any major loss) and then there's my family and my room. My darling cat which I'm dying to see again, and Algenon (my goldfish who's still alive surprisingly).
I'm missing summer alot actually. I can't fricking wait to be on the beach with Adam, soaking it up. mmm...

Parklife!

I love you Charlotte. To tell you the truth, for some reason when you were in Australia I didn't think we were that close. But now I feel so comfortable around you, I seriously feel like you're my sister. I'm not too experienced in having sisters. Since my step-sister is 2 hours away and I see her once or twice a year... But I think this is what having a sister would feel like. I love you. ^_^
