****... This hasn't been updated properly in so long! There's still posts about O'Brien in the first page! I broke up with that ****** over a year ago!
This journal has such a **** title. I didn't even spell 'y'all' right! Should change it to something..
What's been going on since October 2007?
-My epilepsy came back 493948 times worse in late October, since then I've been losing some of my memories/intelligence.
-Started going out with Brendan in mid-November.
-Started two bands (The Gemini and JArelle)
-I spoke to Toby Driver <3
-Started a new school on the 4th February. Lake Ginninderra College. Shithole to the max!
I only go to three of my classes nowadays. Music, music and art.
I V-graded (failed) English in the first week! Mainly because I didn't actually go to class. I went to that class once and I wasn't even marked there. Haha. That class is full of people that like.. can't read.
I don't go to French anymore (I just go to a media class that I'm not actually in)... I don't think my teacher actually speaks English at all... She doesn't even come to class most of the time. She just leaves us under the supervision of the scary comb-over guy on that French game show video and goes and teaches Spanish in another class, or just doesn't even set foot on the school. Lame!
I got re-united with one of my friends from pre-school/primary school there! Which is weird cause I would've thought she'd go to Hawker, as she went to the high school right next door
;
-Got a new guitar for my birthday:
AXL fireax. Crazy shape! I named him Alexi Tobias.
-Turned 16 on the 27th February! I'm finally legal! haHA!
-March was particularly uneventful... I went in Lake Idol... Which was fair' ****.
-I wrote a song that everyone thinks is a masterpiece
www.myspace.com/themightymartin the one that isn't 'Brendan'
-I auditioned for Australian Idol...
I've discovered that the whole tv audition thing is completely fake. The real judges are down in Melbourne, so I was stuck with two dickheads that apparently knew every band on the planet (I should've asked them if they knew Sunn O))) or Parabstruse or something... haha).
Anyway...
I saw one of my friends from school in the line, which is strange because we were in Albury. But apparently he moved to Wodonga (place next to Albury) a few weeks before that.
I met a lot of awesome people there :] Some guy my number group referred to as 'T-shirt guy' somehow knew I played piano. Insanity, man!
Anyway... I went in.... I asked them to call me Gremlin instead of Gemma Lynne. They thought it was hilarious.
Anyway.. I sung the song that I wrote a week before... But they stopped me halfway through and told me they didn't want to hear something original because they didn't have a voice they could compare it to...
They asked me to do a song that they know... I'd practiced heaps of songs (Bohemian Rhapsody-Queen, Hey Jude-The Beatles, Zombie-The Cranberries, Fairies Wear Boots-Black Sabbath, Forever Down-Black Label Society...etc...), but somehow I forgot how to sing all of them..
The woman asked me to sing something by Evanescence, so I sung Lithium... I'm not very good at singing Evanescence and I hadn't practiced any of their stuff for the audition...
"You have a lovely voice," the guy said "but you look very nervous and unprepared when you sing that, see you've got your eyes closed and stuff... You're very young... We'll have to say no".
I see several things wrong with his comments.
1. Of course I was unprepared singing that song. I hadn't ******* practiced it. I made that perfectly clear to them.
2. I had my eyes closed so I could concentrate on singing the notes
that I hadn't practiced
3. If they didn't want to have 16 year olds on the ******* show they shouldn't let them audition, for ****'s sake. Dickheads.
Anyway.. More stuff.
Friðbjörn has been teaching me some Icelandic.. It's really quite useful (as I want to live in Iceland eventually). He's an excellent teacher :]
I now know some proper sentence structures & such..
Plus many... many insults
I think it's strange that I've learned more Icelandic in two months than Japanese in 9 years. I don't even know how to say Yes/No in Japanese...
It's probably because my teacher in primary school only taught us the hiragana alphabet every single lesson and didn't tell us any words except 'doso' (not sure how to spell it, actually...) meaning 'sit'.
Got back to school on Monday... It's been a particularly un-eventful week... I'm attempting to learn Bridge Over Troubled Water-Simon & Garfunkel on piano. It's pretty hard. Jo (my music teacher) is helping me out. She taught me the first part of Für Elise-Beethoven... She was quite jealous that I picked it up in an hour and it took her a year to learn. haha.
Jo is excellent.
I drew a picture on the bus yesterday:

She isn't anyone in particular.
I continued drawing it in the food court in Woden (district in Canberra named after Odin, the norse ***! So ******* awesome!). I got many compliments from passers by. :]
I spent about 4-5 hours entertaining Brendan's brothers (other than his 15 year old freshie [chav] brother) last night. All four are under 12. I was teaching them how to make farting noises with your hands, and chasing them around, pretending to be a monster. x]
Calum (the 10 year old one) was playing a sonic game with these chao things... Neal (I think he's 9) and I were telling him to call the one he was making 'Gemma'... But he wanted to call it 'Echo'... but he didn't know how to spell it... Neal said 'I know how to spell it! G-E-M-M-A!'. Hehe. Children are so entertaining... The ones I know, that is.
I've been watching Stargate Atlantis for the past few days.. ****.. Joe Flanigan is hott.
******* **** things on lpf are difficult to read... white on grey, annoying! I had to get my glasses just so it wouldn't be so annoying -.-;
Overall I think I'm in love with Sigur Rós!
End transmission.
