day 354
Dad taught me how to syphon petrol tonight. It didnt work but it was fun trying. In the end we disconnected the fuel outlet thingy and revved the petrol into the jerry can with a spare hose. After staining tables at work and then trying to syphon petrol I was veritably high by the time I got to bible study.

day 353
Its a hard life isnt it? sitting in the sun eating crostoli, freshly baked crepes, cookies and tim tams with your work mates. Its education support staff appreciation month, which is why we were having a lovely morning tea in the sun. For all my complaining, this is the best job in the world.
day 352
There was a boy in my church named Josh, He died 4 years ago in a car crash while we were in America. At church tonight was the first time that I have listened to someone speak about it. I cried for an hour solid.

Two weeks left exactly, two weeks into my blog is my most viewed post. I dont know if that a good thing or a bad thing... Everyone knows Jeff from the wiggles right? you know, WAKE UP JEFF! Apparently he has taken a photo a day since 1990. That is so cool. Maybe ill take a photo every day for the rest of my life, who knows? Definitely not always with me in it though, I am so sick of my body.

I found a blog about weddings. Its great, people write in to this woman about their wedding issues and she gives them great, wittyly worded, advice. Its times like these that I am glad that im single because it cuts out the awkward Im-obsessed-with-weddings-but-not-necessarily-weddings-with you-so-please-stop-feeling-so-pressured conversation. also, I know I just recently did a photo like this but it is fun to do so I will continue to do them. This was taken at the ropes course at my work.

day 349
I have thought about my upcoming birthday a lot this year. Probably more than any other birthday ever but today was the first day that I was genuinely, childishly excited for my birthday. I think its the smell of spring in the air that is making me so happy. Either way, For the first time possibly ever, I am excited about turning 19.
day 348
Guess what I did all day. I answered phones. This was my third day of being office lady and this week has been probably the best weather of the year. I have been inside ALL WEEK! Im going insane.

I am so angry! At my work at the moment I am researching and looking to buy a playground. I have rung people, enquired, got quotes and arranged meetings. So today a man turns up for a meeting with me. He introduced himself to me and Cav and then proceeded to address the entire consultation at Cav. He did not talk to me at all unless I asked a direct question. At the end Cav asked him if he had my email address and he said no dismissively and asked for CAVS email address! I swear if I hadnt stuck my hand out as he was leaving he wouldnt have shaken my hand either. I dont know if he treated me like this because I am 18 or because I am a woman but the charming combination of both seems to make people think that I am incompetent. If it is my age, at what age do I start being listened to? If it is the fact that I am a woman, do I just remain unheard for the rest of my life because I lack the right equipment for this phallocentric society?

day 346
Its 11pm and I am in a really contemplative mood so I have to be really careful not to say anything that will sound philosophical to me right now but seem super wanky tomorrow morning. This photo makes me think of a real-estate agent; I think it might be the subtle head tilted forward odd* grin or maybe its the fact that I am hugging the corner of our house.
*I couldnt for the life of me think of the adjective that I was looking to there**
** I read my sisters blog today and it opened up to me a world of footnotes.***
*** Thank goodness the year is almost over.

I went to the football tonight with Sabrina and Dave. It was Sabrina’s first ever introduction to football. It was a good match (because Richmond WON!) but there were only 37,000 so the MCG looked empty. It never ceases to amaze me how seriously I take such a comical game.

I love this town. I really don't want to move. I am stuck at home on my own attempting to pack. I hate being on my own. Today I realised that there is one thing that I don't mind doing on my own, in fact, I would prefer to do it on my own. I love taking photos. I could spend hours photographing and not notice that no-one is around me.
day 343
Huhn died. I had a momentary lapse in memory and left the chickens free for the feral cat. Poor Huhn was the only victim. and she was my favourite chicken! I was devestated but everyone at work just told me to eat a teaspoon of cement. Along with the first death however came the first sign of life. Our very first teeny tiny egg. In other more important news, Sabrina is in Australia and I got to see her!! Sabrina e' veramente la mia gemella.

A year 9 boy hugged me today. I was so shocked I just looked at him with my mouth quizzically open. he paused, realised just how inappropriate his previous actions were and then patted me on the arm whilst backing away and apologising profusely. There are boxes everywhere at my house and I havent done washing in awhile so I figured i'd just start wearing boxes around instead.

This is the scene of my worst recurring nightmare. There is a weird thumping noise coming from up the road and it will find and take everyone. I can try and run but there is no point because the steady beating will get closer and closer and inevitably find and kill me. I dont know where my family is but I am just trying to find a safe spot. I hide behind the tree but right before this thing arrives I realise that the hiding spot is nowhere near good enough and I am facing certain death. I abort the hiding position and realise that it was a colossally bad move. the beating sound is in my yard now and slowly searching for me. With difficulty I escape the yard and run down the road as fast as I can. I get to the primary school and a lovely indian family emerge from the creek in a car and offer to take me on a picnic to india. I agree and wake up. Small insight into the mind of Cecelia.

Today when I got home from work my clothes were completely unblemished. This is an incredibly unusual occurence and it happened because for most of the day I wore a giant old nighty over my clothes and it seemed to do a fantastic job at protecting them. Now, Im not saying for sure, but I think I may have just stumbled across some pure genius in the fashion department..

I cannot convey how colossally sick of winter I am. I get home from work, by which time it is getting dark so when I go to take my photo I am either loungeroom bound or I have to brave the cold, dark and usually wet outdoors to try and get a good photo. ugh. I hate winter.

Ok as fun as last night was, being awake until three thirty was not a good idea. We won soccer today and I scored, but scoring loses its sense of achievement somewhat when the final score is 9-1.

day 337
I have new friends. I love realising that I have new friends, its great! Its especially great when said new friends have cool outfits and bookshelves full of chocolate. I hung out with Haylee and Ben tonight. I had a wonderful evening and learnt lots of new things- a fun side effect of hanging out with doctors. I also took down eveything from my walls today, and now they look super sad and blank.

Who wants a boyfriend when you have a dodecahedron? I cant complete it so I have the novel experience of trying to learn the algorithims all by myself. Its difficult and incredibly rewarding.
Tonight Matt, Daryl, Elise and newcomers Hilly, Patto and Lozzie came down the pub and we had such a fantastic time. Steak was eaten, bums were admired and Pool afficianados were overpowered.

I have been researching interesting self portraits a lot on the internet and everyone seems to be telling me that a self portrait needs to reflect the person that you are. I really like this photo except I dont feel oppressed or ashamed or concealed. So I guess this is actually more of a portrait representing someone else, with me playing the role of the oppressed person.

Today I stumbled upon the ability to write to local members about issues that I believe they are not addressing, or things they are making mistakes about. The risk now is that it will become a sport and I will use my poor parlimentarians as practise for persuasive writing. Seriously, In year 12, the teachers should have just let me write on any topic that I was passionate about, as opposed to making me study Andrew Bolt's writing OBJECTIVELY. The closest I would come to objectively studying Andrew Bolt is studying the way he reacts when objects are thrown at him.

We got a new microscope from Aldi. Its great! I have never seen, in so much detail, the amount of disgusting crud that get caught on the hairs of a fly's butt. Also, just to clear up any confusion, despite the appearance of my chin, I am definitely not a witch. I checked. Everytime I yell 'Accio ____!' nothing happens.
day 332
My car is amazing! remember awhile back when I hit a Wombat? no? Awhile back I hit a wombat at 80km/h and my car was unscathed. It was a massive wombat as well! Tonight on the way home with Faith it was raining and a kangaroo jumped in front of us up ahead so I put the breaks on really heavily and the car stopped in its own sweet time (which is way slower than I was comfortable with.) I hit the kangaroo and it disappeared under the car until I came to a stop and then emerged out the front a lolloped away painfully to die. We got out to see if we could see it (though at this point neither of us was comfortable with killing it), we couldnt see it anyway so we checked the damage and there was nothing! therefore my car is amazing. Pretty sure my tyres are munted though.

I went to the Monash Uni open day today. It was swell. As we were getting a tour of Mannix I kept walking past dirty, muddy soccer boots sitting neatly outside peoples rooms. It made me ridiculously excited. I am so pumped for university!

day 330
So this morning on the train I was sitting opposite Geoffery Rush. This coincided with a number of terrible happenings. Firstly, Emmeline was not notified of this and will remain forevermore bitter and feeling neglected. Secondly, BOTH my sisters had cameras out and were taking photos but Emmeline was unaware of Mr Rush and Jocelyn was 'too cool' to take his picture. Thirdly, I didnt get to have a conversation with him because I respect the whole actor-trying-to-catch-public-transport thing. Here is the thing about Geoffery Rush. He looks so average. Just an old guy reading a MX on train. I guess that is because he IS just an old guy reading the MX on the train.

The Chooks arrived!! My darling babies are here. There is only one problem, I am terrified of them! This is me holding Kip. I took comfort in knowing that she wasnt going to poo on me because she had just crapped all over, and I mean ALL OVER, Cherie. Who knew one bird could hold so much poo?
day 328
Uh oh! race against time to upload my photo before my battery dies. Justin Beiber in a room full of grade 6 girls would stay alive longer than my laptop does on battery. its very frustrating. oh golly, I just compared my laptop to Justin Beiber. sorry Mr laptop.

*I do not, nor have I ever, smoked*
Smoking is bad. Its ridiculously unhealthy and financially terrible. Here is the thing about smoking, and smokers in particular. They are not bad people. I think a lot of people often forget that people who smoke arent the devil incarnate. So this blog post is to say love the smoker, hate the smoke.

With inspiration from Cat Stevens, Dad and I had a wonderful afternoon! We went and kicked the soccer ball on the oval together and then had a race from one end to the other. Dad won, and i'll admit when he got to the end it did occur to me to mentally refresh myself on what to do if someone has a heart attack.
