you'd see it with your own two eyes

We had this sleepover a few weekends ago. And went crazy with the glowsticks. Thought I'd whip out the holga and take some pro blurry bulb night shots with a long exposure. But, like an idiot, I went crazy with the flash instead and forgot to turn on bulb.Gah.
Here bist the results -

This super ball of glowsticks we made, watching Forgetting Sarah Marshall (in LOVE with Russell Brand - just like every other girl on the planet). Just above Mil's knee is a tiny picture of the ball from afar - I wander what photo that was exposed with?

And Mil again with glowstick glasses. But her eyes were closed because the flash was super strong, and every photo I took I had to warn the girls and they'd all closed their eyes before I took it so they wouldn't see blue dots everywhere. We learnt from painful experience.

That's me being a power ranger. Tots advertising Coca Cola inadvertently. I sooooo wish I'd turned on bulb, all these photos would be so much better with it on...

Yes, I do realise that there's a hand coming out of Sarah's face. And this is my fail photo where i accidently quadruple exposed several major ones and had to redo each of them.
Oh the pains of having a traditional camera. But it's generally worth it.
Look for the word 'LoL' in the photo.

Felicia's sexy butt. It looks like it has colourful eyes and ...even eyebrows!!
LOL felicia. Hope you don't mind me putting this photo up :)

The uber ball again. So I realise I have two photos of it, and I tried in vain to delete this one, but for some reason blogger completely failed me.

Megan, looking so angelic in this red light. Even though red light isn't really angelic... oh well!
She's so gangsta.

the freak show

So the last few photos tots have a border as opposed to the old ones. Got it processed at a new place down from Michael's (the old one) MUCH cheaper, but probs didn't do it as well as Michael's does considering the short amount of time it was done in, etc.
Took a whole HEAP of photos of swimming sports (below) that couldn't get developed because I attempted to use stupid 35mm film and I didn't know how to manually rewind it in my cam. sigh. But these are the 120mm ones that worked. Why do you care?

WOW. I write everything in a horribly boring monotone.

Why? And how on earth do the famous bloggers do it? I suppose its about the originality of your blog... take garance doré for example (not that she's unorginal - completely unique in fact)- but how does she do it? Is it about writing personal life moments - then considering my life is less exciting than a goldfish in a tank it wouldn't quite work. hum.

So swimming sports has never really been about swimming... come to think of it I can't imagine why anyone would go there to swim. It's more like a massive fancy dress pool party where 1800 people are invited, and only the crazy of those actually show up. It's pretty good too... can't wait til next year (as a year 12) you actually get to get in! woot. Sad, no?

That's Grace and Darren (bro), and his girlfriend Des at the freak show that is swimming sports. Which btw was yonks ago - near the start of term 1, I'm just disorganised with my film processing.

Followed by Alex (a.k.a Smithy) dressed up as a crazy renegade punk fairy that had the hair of Gene Simmons in his KISS days and Cyndi Lauper punk era stockings (fluoro yellow and black if I remember right) and this mass tutu with (WAY WAY) oversized sunnies on.
Quite a sight.

The people who actually bothered to go swimming (this was supposed to be mid air but.. woops) sad lack of camera skills by me. tehe.
Probs mostly made up of junior/middle school kiddos. Miss those days.

Peter - totally unfocused - somehow I managed to get Kat's head instead of his - in my super blue heart-shaped sunnies. How cool? :) Random gangstas in the background.

My muchacha Lauren - dressed up as a bee - who actually had a whole hive with her, but ... I dunno what happened to them... So I looked up 'muchacho' on urban dictionary and apparently it means young mexican male, but then muchacha means female. I'm using muchacha then for Lauren, but she's not mexican... or Spanish... or Eucadorian she's just Lauren. But I like the word and I'm gonna use it regardless of the meaning :)

We dressed up as the warriors from Braveheart - as you may have figured by the face paint - but we kinda didn't have the whole kilt business going. Most of us hadn't actually seen Braveheart... so it was kinda 'let's be gladiator looking things with blue and white face paint' .. pretty cool eh? :D Good times.
Here's Cass and Sarah and Lachie in battle... I couldn't think of a name for the battle though...
Suggestions?
BTW: 'Freak show' is meant in the best possible way. I don't mean it as an insult to anyone who took part (I did too) and this additional note is NOT sarcastic, so is that not sarcastic, etc. (God, that chain could go on forever).

fresh air

These were taken back in the day - when holidays actually meant holidays - well not really cos I should've been studying ahead for maths ... oh well. We were all holding maccas bags and trying to find a picnic spot in ... parliament gardens? Such a beautiful place and such contrasting food. From the left there's Sarah, Megan, Fel and Cass. I was obviously taking the photo - Mil was working at the time...I think.
The gardens were really beautiful. Stupid maccas gave me a measly amount of chicken and didn't have the dip I like (ranch) or any other for that matter in stock. So I was hungry.

This was the picnic spot we found - can't remember what I double exposed us with. I think there's tree tops (we were sitting under a really pretty tree) and then us with the buildings of the city in the background... somehow.
First day back was round the corner so this was our last adventure for the hols... oh except ice skating. :) That was cool. Excuse the pun.
