Hello buttercups! (I need to come up with new greetings). Yes, I am alive and well and extremely sorry I haven't been blogging lately, I actually feel really bad. However, real life comes first, even if I do procrastinate so much it's kind of ridiculous, and my life has been so monotonous lately that even I, someone who is too lazy to make something exciting happen, couldn't deal with it.
So for now, I'm back.
Apart from One Direction's amazing performance at the Closing Ceremony, how amazing were the Olympics?! Sure, Australia didn't do as well as they liked, but I know we'll be in good shape for Rio. We often put a lot of pressure on our athletes, and I think that shows, particularly in the pool. However, we have four years to change that (or two, if you're thinking about the Commonwealth Games), so there's that.
I've also been practicing really hard for voice choir and I had to sing at a shopping centre to promote our school -- that was eh. We're going to Mildura this Thursday, and the Frayne Speech Festival is this Friday. Although I'm extremely nervous, I'm really looking forward to heading up there, even if it is a six hour drive, like I've been told. Our poems are coming along pretty well and we just need to polish them up.
I'm beginning to notice I've hated the world recently, but that's probably because I've been extremely scienced out and there's been a lot of things going on. Not to mention I've been analysing Mississippi Burning and all that. I've just been mad at a lot of things, but I'm trying to get over that and all. I just have a lot of feelings about everything, particularly about people being cruel, but I'll save you the trouble of having arguments that don't flow on your dash.
I also had my second self-defence lesson this Thursday, and I have learnt how to effectively kick a guy in the groin and also what it feels like. (Thanks, student teacher, for sharing.) It sounds extremely painful and although there is a risk our organs will be crushed if we get kicked there, I don't envy men at all on that one.
My friends are doing the 40 Hour Famine, and most people have given up food -- Kudos to Mary who gave up food, electrical appliances and furniture. She finished three hours ago, and yes, I am extremely proud of her and everyone else I know who has been doing it. I wish I wasn't broke so I could sponsor you all.
If I'm being particularly honest, that's all I can remember about my life at the moment, so I'm just going to have to leave it that. I'm sorry this was an extremely boring post, but that's all I've got to say for now. I might be going out to the city on Monday with my friends (we have a day off), so I might find something to blog about when I'm there. I'm really excited, plans are to go exploring! :3
Yours in weirdness,
Tash.
(P.S. Did you know there are 17 main types of known Early Human Ancestors?! And most of them aren't from the Homo genus.)

Trust you to put a science fact at the end. To be honest, I saw it coming. :D And thank you, next year, you are going to do the 40 Hour Famine with me. "Can's say can't accept!" :D

Yeah, of course. I'm me, after all. I might! I don't know if I can give up eating though, but electrical appliances & talking...
Really, Mary? Really?
