As I wipe away the black from my eyes that my fairy godmother my sister put in for me today, I feel somewhat like Cinderella after midnight. Except of course, I got home at about 12:45. But that is irrelevant.
My feet kill, and I could barely walk by the end of the extra 500m up hill I had to trek to get to where my dad parked the car.
My shoes are dirty, my dress is slightly ripped, and there is so much hair spray and bobby pins up in my hair when I take everything out, it ends up as super stuff, tight curls that I have to pull apart.
I wonder if Cinderella hurt this much after her ball. I suppose the dancing waltz in glass slippers would kill more than ordinary stilettos. Still, even without dancing (much) it hurts.
And Cinderella had to run home! The poor thing. She lived so far away from the castle as well. Thank goodness for cars.
I don't know why I am saying this cinderella business. Perhaps it's because I felt like a different but the same person in some ways? I don't make sense. It's the magic of make up I assume. Probably because I never use it, when people put it on for me I'm like whut is that person me? Haha.
Also probably because for the first time I felt I was actually beautiful.
Oh wow I can't believe I wrote that.
It's so superficial and all.
But the fact that I can now say yes to those blog surveys that ask "have you ever been told you look beautiful by a complete stranger?" is depressingly gratifying.
In a very badly non-feminist way.
I think that, sometimes, I'm not very feminist at all. Probably just things about workplace and education. In other words, in regards to human rights. Everything else is dictated by culture. But you shouldn't be limited to that if you don't want to... Am I making sense? I guess that, since im choosing to behave in this manner, I'm independent, and thus not oppressed by males, and thus free to embrace radical feminism as i wish, but not?
I should talk to David lol.

Back to formal, it was really fun :) so different from baulko though. Baulko is a bit more wild lol. But the venue is gorgeous. I wish I could have taken a night view of it, but I only had my iPhone and we couldn't go outside.
The food was... Mediocre. Lol. But maybe I had the crappier menu :p
I got a balloon to take home :D it's currently floating above my bed :)
I'm so tired, I have work tomorrow and everything.
Today made me pumped for baulko formal.
My mind keeps jumping from thing to thing.
I should buy bracelets for Kevin for Christmas :D
My nano is going crap. I have no time. I'll have to cram it when I finish working, or else ill never finish :(
One more thing.
Hey Shelley :) You were obvs the highlight of my night ;D Thanks for your kind words about this rantyness :p although that actually goes for all my readers haha, few as you are :)
I'm so tired.
I'm getting a new laptop soon! I'll photograph it's arrival.
I'll edit this post and add pictures in tomorrow. I want to sleep now.
Night.

Practically Professional.
So I've started working 9 to 5.
It's pretty tiring.
Although I don't even do much. Just reception and packing and things.
The best thing is they have a coffee machine. It's been fueling my caffeine addiction.
Although sometimes I am unsure as to whether I like coffee or coffee flavored hot sugary milk :p
It's nice here, it's a small company and everyone's really friendly :)
I think it's cause it's a family business, so everyone is close cause there's so few people. My cousin's (in law? He married my cousin) dad heads the group, so as the eldest son he mostly helps run it. The the other brother does accounts and shipping. And they have a bunch of people as well as me :D
---
My cousin was driving me back home, talking about what I want to do in the future. When I told him I wanted to work in a big law firm or as an in house lawyer. And then he was like "i hope I'm not being too chauvinistic, but I'm assuming you want to get married and have children. So won't you be working for like 5-6 years before you have kids? And then you'll leave work. The greatest thing is if you marry the right guy and never have to work and stay at home taking care of the kids. If you work at a big law firm, won't you be at the bottom for 5years? And then you'll have to leave. It's too sad."
And I didn't say anything. You guys impressed? Lol.
Anyway, I don't think majority of families in our society can afford to live on a single income. So regardless I'll probably not stop working completely ever. EVER.
Besides, I like the idea of climbing that corporate ladder :p
---
Something I do at work is flick through home design magazines to try and did references to the company products. It's really fun, cause I like interior design :p
if I had money I would totally renovate houses and such :D (I decided a while ago if I failed HSC and got like 60ATAR I'll go do interior design and embrace my poor poor future, where you're a vegetarian/vegan only because you can't afford meat LOLOL.)
But yeah, flicking through this stuff, it kinda makes me want to take all the magazines home and make scrap books lol.
Or get a pininterest.
I've wanted one for a while, but haven't acted upon yet.
We'll see if I do lol.
---
Because I'm working all the time, I come home and I'm pretty tired, so I haven't written much for nano. I've taken to handwriting some of it out in a notebook during work to try and catch up. But now I have no idea what the word count is.
AHHHH.
I'll have to type like crazy on a Saturday.
But I wanted to go to the markets on saturday :(
oh wells.
---
I taught my mum how to play this ps3 game the other day, now she can't wait everyday for me to come home and play with her lol. So cute. (she refuses to play with my siblings cause try need to study haha)
she was like to me while we were gaming "I don't want you to go to work... I don't have work tomorrow so I wanna play with you." Ngawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww :)
Although the gaming is cutting into my writing time, I can't help it. She's so cute :3
Also congrats to all those kids who've finished after chem :D welcome to freedom lol. :D
have a meme to celebrate.
ALSO WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK ABOUT DISNEY MAKING NEW STAR WARS FILMS????

AVbyte
So they might be my new favourite channel.
They make musicals of crazy things. including a doctor who one.
Each musical thing is like 3 minutes long.
They're really cool!
Thanks to MH for the tip off, i'll be sure to watch them every week from now on haha.
Just some of the cooler ones.
Yup. Love musicals.
Also, if you watch it, don't you think the Ariel in the disney princess hipster video is SO PRETTY??????
And also, best line ever. "If a tree falls in the forest and there's no one there to hear it you can bet we bought the vinyl." HAHA
WIBBLY WOBBLY TIMEY WHIMEY MACHINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
---
Figured I might as well do a survey, since it's not much on this post lol

Green? Or like those mix colours of blue/green
2: White, milk, dark chocolate or mocha?
Just give me actual coffee! Erm probably just normal milk chocolate haha.
3: If you could get a Sharpie tattoo on your back, what would it be?
Erm probably a bird of some kind? Not sure lol. Or a cool sentence. Like "if a tree falls in the forest and nobody's there to hear it you can bet I bought the vinyl HAHAHAHA"
4: Did you grow up in a small or big town? Did you like it?
"Grew up in a small town...." - Kelly Clarkson's Breakaway. Don't know why that's the first thing that came to my head. Erm big town? Technically we're all in the Sydney area.
5: Your favorite adult as a child? (and not your parents, if they were your favorite)

6: What kind of smoothie sounds really good right now?
Boost's Green Tea Mango Mantra. Mhmmmmm.

Hrm probably when I climbed a tree to pick cicada shells and my skirt ripped. I had to wear the jumper tied around my waist for the rest of the day, even though it was really cold lol.
8: Most embarrassing moment from your middle school years?
Middle school is yr7-9 right? Erm have to say it was when I was walking out of a train and almost fell into the gap, so i grabbed this really skinny asian guy from Normo next to me to stop me from falling in. He nearly did a flip from the sudden movement. I felt really bad afterwards... awks.
9: Most embarrassing moment from your high school years?
ah 10-12. lesse, I think it might have been when I was caught in the band lockers and someone walked in. awks.
10: Pirates or ninjas? Why?
I think ninjas, because ninjas are ninjas. They can jump around through trees and stuff. It's cool. Kunoichi powers! I don't think they let women even be pirates. Ninjas seem more of a gender equal skill group.

The only reason I know what the Superbowl is, is due to How I Met Your Mother.
18: Have you ever watched any major sporting event drunk?
I have never gotten drunk. And I've never watched any major sporting event. The two together is slightly ridiculous for me.
19: What's the most delicious food you've ever eaten in your life?

No, Maybe, HELL YES.

Erm New York? Or Kyoto. For very different reasons. But probably New York.
29: Longest plane ride you've ever been on?
France to Korea. 12 hours. 1 hour break. Korea to Australia. 11 hours.
That was exhausting.
30: The latest you've ever slept?
I've done all nighters. So I think it would be like 12am the following day.
31: Would you buy a sweater covered in kitten pictures? Would you wear it if someone gave it you for free?
Probably wouldn't buy it. I might wear it at home if it was warm.
32: Do you pick at scabs?
Yes. It's a huge annoyance for my mum.
33: Favorite kind of bean? Kidney? Black? Pinto?
Probably Soybean? lol. But if you want a white bean I like butterbeans and chickpeas.

42: Do you swear in front of your parents?
Nope.
43: Coolest thing you've ever been for Halloween?

44: If you could change your natural hair color, would you? To what?
Yes, to dark dark dark midnight blue, so dark it looks black but has flashes of blue. Or burgandy.
45: Do you want to get married? Have kids?
Eventually? But that's so far away. I don't need to worry about it.
46: Do you use a reusable water bottle? If not, you should.
Yes. :p
47: City or nature person?
City! I like my supermarkets and stoves and blankets lol.
48: Have you ever used something other than "makeup" as makeup? (Like paint? Markers?)
Erm i used highlighters to pain my nails. Does that count.
49: Can you walk well in high heels? Even if you're a guy?

erm, I don't really know. I'm reluctant to say anything because people might be like "no, you suck at that" and then I'll be all sad lol.
So NO.

HSC IS OVER
Well, it was actually over yesterday, but i couldn't be bothered to write a post haha.
I think I won't be writing much on this throughout November, seeing as I'll be nanowrimo-ing :)
My sister is super nice too me, she bought me a rose to congratulate my finishing :p
I feel very spoiled.
My mum went to like church mother's group today, and when she came back she told me they all asked about me.
Ladies: How's Alysha?
M: fine, fine... she just finished, she's very happy
L: OOoooh, is she partying?
M: She just started a writing competition thing, 50k words...
L: ...?
M: And she's looking forward to finish reading all the books she recieved on her birthday
L: wow. That's... healthy.
haha.
Bye guys

Legal Studies cram!
HSC paper for legal is tommorrow!
And all I can think about is the DOCTOR WHO MUSICAL MH told me about on youtube.
Haha.
Actually, that's a lie. I'm thinking alot about legal and justice and all that jazz.
Legal kids, have you prepped your current issues for human rights yet?
I think I've got mine mostly down, since I researched quite a bit about it when I did that speech for YOTY rotary.
Watching this documentary about human trafficking.
Really, these people disgust me. Don't they realise, the millions of dollars they make are made off other people's suffering? How can they live with themselves?
And worse, most of the time women go and tell other women to come. If you can't trust a supposedly nice young lady of the same nationality as you, telling you to come to Australia/UK/USA for a nice au pair job, who are you supposed to trust?
They're exploiting them!
There was this section where they filmed the police during the break-in of one of the ring leaders of the human-trafficking in London, and there was this woman found sleeping on the sofa.
They were unsure about whether she was an accomplice or a victim.
And my mum was like "I hope she's a victim, because I think it's sadder if she's an accomplice."
She was an accomplice.
It's kind of sad really. To think that even females are willing to sell each other.
I mean, I know i'm kind of a femminist (can hear everyone saying kinda??) but it's like, I shouldn't expect women to be like that? Right? I don't know what I'm saying. I guess in a way I expect women to be better than men. Especially in something like the illegal human trafficking industry, where 98% involves sexual oppression. You'd think that, as a fellow woman, you wouldn't be able to stand seeing a girl treated that way. I mean, guys too, but women more so. Because only a girl could completely sympathesise. A guy can't. Not completely. But as girl, you should be able to completely understand her pain, her humilation, her fear.
So I just find it even worse when a woman is involved in human trafficking rings. So much worse.
A horrifying statistic is that there are more people in the illegal human trafficking scheme today than there was in the height of the slave trade.

I was talking about this with my dad, going on my usual equity rants (so far he had to put up with my desires for going to Africa as a volunteer and my rant on feminism. woof that one was long, because he fought back haha) and he just looked at me and was like "I'm glad, sounds like you're ready for your legal essay."
And i was like "no, not really."
Legal.
I'm not at all ready for Family section.
(sorry for the heavy rant guys.)

Nano! So excited! Thanks to RL and WL who made comments on it haha. I don't know how the quality will turn out, seeing as I'm just going to pour everything out of my head as fast as possible. I need to write about 1500 words a day, so entirely achievable. Especially if i write it on paper at work and then just furiously type things up when i get home haha.
I still have no idea how to use the word count.
BUT I'M EXCITED!
I've been telling literally everyone I meet that i'm doing nano. Then I have to explain what it is.
So the conversation is like
Random: HSC is nearly over for you right?
Alysha: YEAH! I'M SO LUCKY
R: Well what do you plan to do after??
A: WORK!
R: lol besides getting a job
A: NANO!
R: what's that?
A: NaNoWriMo.
R: What?
A: National Novel Writing in a Month
R: Cool. How many words?
A: 50k
R: 50K?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
A: yup
R: That's a lot! (now that i think about it, it is a lot isn't it? lol)
A: Yeah but it'll be fun!
R: You're crazy
A: Yup!
ok back to legal studies guys!
have a doctor who meme
yet for some reason, all these aliens are like "OHMIGERD YOU BELONG IN A MUSEUM YOU ANTIQUE YOU!"
BYE
And all I can think about is the DOCTOR WHO MUSICAL MH told me about on youtube.
Haha.
Actually, that's a lie. I'm thinking alot about legal and justice and all that jazz.
Legal kids, have you prepped your current issues for human rights yet?
I think I've got mine mostly down, since I researched quite a bit about it when I did that speech for YOTY rotary.
Watching this documentary about human trafficking.
Really, these people disgust me. Don't they realise, the millions of dollars they make are made off other people's suffering? How can they live with themselves?
And worse, most of the time women go and tell other women to come. If you can't trust a supposedly nice young lady of the same nationality as you, telling you to come to Australia/UK/USA for a nice au pair job, who are you supposed to trust?
They're exploiting them!
There was this section where they filmed the police during the break-in of one of the ring leaders of the human-trafficking in London, and there was this woman found sleeping on the sofa.
They were unsure about whether she was an accomplice or a victim.
And my mum was like "I hope she's a victim, because I think it's sadder if she's an accomplice."
She was an accomplice.
