09.04 Arts Day Part Two: Noddy & Big Ears

Fergo's house dance theme was childhood television show theme songs. For the Noddy section, I dressed up as Noddy and Vivienne as Big Ears.




09.04 Arts Day Part One: House Dance

Today was my schools Arts Day. For those of you who have no idea what this is, its a day that is dedicated to the Arts: creative and performing. Students submit all their creative entries (such as photography, art, cookery etc) in the days before, and they are displayed throughout the school. Throughout the day there are performances from students (in areas such as drama, music, dance etc). It is probably the biggest day of the year, and is so much fun.

The most anticipated part of the day is the house dances, which happen in the morning. There usually just for shiggles and everyone gets really into them. Well this year, the teachers decided to make one, and i must say i don't think i have ever laughed so hard. Heres a few images, but for more you'll have to visit my facebook page.

blog awards

yay! i was nominated for my first blog award by fellow perthian emma j over at every street is a catwalk so check her blog out :) its amazing! anyways, i'm supposed to share with you all 10 things about myself so here it goes, i wrote one of these a while ago, but heres some more :)

1. i have a new television obsession weekly, its pretty pathetic. last week was weeds, this week its dawsons creek.

2. this also happens with films, however for the most part of this year i've been anticipating 500 days of summer. other films that are on my must see list (and i'm slightly ashamed to say that i haven't seen them yet) are Buffalo 66, The Goddess of 1967, Hunting and Gathering, The Flight of the Red Balloon, Inglorious Bastards, Love me if you dare and Trust
3. i find lame things funny, like these music graphs... guess what song it is

4. all of my high school memories lie in the media department. debating makes me happy, im a nerd like that however unfortunatly my nerdiness doesn't translate to good grades. so i pretty much just loose out all together.
5. i drink everything out of straws, except for coffee and tea.

6. i can only imagine doing three things for the rest of my life: directing and producing films, being a photographer or working in the area of politics.
7. i am a terrible cook. i managed to screw up packaged mashed potatoes on the weekend, whilst viv cooked pasta with the very minimal contents of my pantry.
8.
i dance like an absolute retard in public, and i don't care at all. whats even worse, i dance to rick astley and the spice girls. see previous blog posts.
9. i hide behind my camera, but im generally a pretty social person. so if you see me on the streets of perth, please say hello :)

10. my history class has come to the conclusion that i would be the easiest person to stalk, they're probably right. but honestly, who the hell would want to stalk a lame, nerdy, pathetic, high school photographer. really?
