Talking about yourself and typing out weekend events and memories can be embarrassing. People do seems to get the idea that you are an attention seeking slave, but really, how else am I to remember all the good things that occur during my youth.
If you do read my blog regularly, stumble across it by pure chance or even just decide to jump in to my pretentious world and skim read previous entries, you will probably discover a whole new or multiple different sides to me, you wouldnt be presneted with when you get me in person. You may even find out aspects of me that I dont even know exsist and I hope that my few paragraphs make you judge and form an opinion on me, I dont know why I hope that, but I just do.
Blogging gives me a chance to think. Write to Think, Scribo ut cogitem.
Well, I cant exactly review anything with a critical view because I havent actually attended any events with that state of mind, although I will add that if you are reviewing something, anything, give your fucking opinion, be critical. Infact my journalism review piece is on people who claim to review events or whatever but actually just inform or state the fucking obvious. I could end up contradicting myself, but I will be very clever.
Events I have attended recently for the sake of having a good time have include The DHDFD's at Mighty Mighty, This City Sunrise's last New Zealand show at Good Luck before moving to Melbourne and a gig at Valve that Dehumanize (my boyfriend Josh) put on consisting of Cult of the Cobra, In Cahoots and I cant remember who else...
There is so much more coming up in the next few weeks, especially with Halloween hiding in the shadows around the corner, but 2009 is going to be incredible.
The Big Day Out first announcement has been made, but I am hanging out for the second one, even though I know I will be going and road tripping. The Teenagers are heading over in January aswell and so are Fleet Foxes. I dont know who Fleet Foxes are, if thats how you spell it, or whatever but am told I have to go because it is for my friend Ben's birthday and it will be a big love fest or something. It sounds good. I am hanging out for Morrissey who is also coming at the beginning of 2009 and it is said he also does play some songs by The Smiths so that should be amazing. And of course I already have my ticket for the final Camp A Low Hum in February.
I am stoked that I can do this all without having to worry about going back to school or not being able to get my hands on forms of intoxication.
Next year I plan to be attending Massey University in Wellington. I will be doing a Bachelor of Design in Photographic Deign. Monash Univeristy in Melbourne went down the drain, but I am still holding on to the idea. Future plans include two years at Massey, one year at Monash in Melbourne and then my final year with Monash University but either finishing off my degree in France, Italy or England.
Well I dont know what else to say really... Stay posted and nosey, I guess.

nah bro, cant bro. i dont have any 027 credit. but yeah. but nah but yeah.
Oh I do like your blog. I'm not exactly a hesitant blogger and blog reader, more like just too damn busy. But I like yours well enough to rescue you from a little inadvertent illatiniceracy:
Scribo ad cogito? No No.
Scribo ut cogitem. 'Ad' is 'to' only in the sense of 'Curro ad kirikiriroam' (I run to Hamilton' - Made-up accusative case of Kirikiriroa = Hamilton). A ridiculous example I concede, since no-one with the sense to write that in Latin and Maori-Latin would actually run towards Hamilton, but away from it.
'To' in the sense of 'in order to' is 'ut' plus the subjunctive; 'ut cogitem' meaning in order that I might think. .
I have been going crazy over that Latin phrase. I took Latin in year 7 but that was six years ago and I remember nothing. So I was looking it all up on the internet, which of course is totally misleading but I ran with it anyway. Thank you so much for your reply, I'll change it straight away! Haha!
Thanks. Happy to oblige. Of course you could get referential and have a gloss on Descartes' Cogito ergo sum: Scribo ergo cogito = "I write, therefore I think" although it doesn't mean the same thing I suppose.
It's funny isn't it when people say "I'll think about it."
Really. You don't say. Who thinks about anything in that way? What they really mean is "I'll avoid the question now and hope the next time you ask me I'll have an answer." Which is perfectly sensible because even if we don't know it when we say "I'll think about it" what we are saying, truthfully, is "I'll let my subconscious process it and hopefully next time you ask me I will open my mouth and the answer will come out." Which is how life really works, or at least mine anyway.
If I really do intend to think about something, I am forced to write about it. It's the only way.
