Summer...

It's finally here. 

The best time of the year.

The warmth, the sun, clear skies, blue oceans...

Laying back on the beach, sitting out on your board, waiting for that next big wave.

And just being able to lay in the grass, without a care in the world.

Time for the fun times with friends and family.

The best time of the year.

It's finally here.

Because I have crazy hair...

IT'S K GAIZE! I GOTS DIS!

Ok. Now that that's out of the way... I've decided I'm going to record my efforts to go without Facebook here. And there's 2 reasons behind this decision.
1. I feel the need to record them, and this seemed the best place to do it.
2. No social media network is killing me right now, and this provides some relief.

How is it, that someone can be busy for a full day, and still have the need to check a social media site every 2 seconds? I know, they're ridiculously addicted to it. I am constantly amazed at how many things happen in my life that make me automatically want to share it with those online. I also feel amazingly disconnected right now. I used to be able to whip out my phone and have the option of talking to over 700 people (although, in reality I probably only spoke to like, 20), and I used to be able to check on the activities of any single one of those people. Now, I have my sister and my close friends. That's it. No one else, at all, unless they message me. I've found myself looking through past text messages, finding people to speak to. I spend more time playing games on my mobile, instead of going on Facebook on it, and it's showing me just how anti-social I used to be, unless whatever conversation that was happening fully interested me. It's actually really sad. I think this ban may be good for me, as hopefully it'll help me to be more interested in my surroundings, as opposed to what some person writes as their next status. Either way, life is interesting. Also, I have amazing hair right now. It's quite ridiculous. That is all.

Actually, no it's not.
SUMMER IS TOMORROW!!! FINALLY!!!
Now, that is all :)
Goodbye my massive following! I'll speak to you all tomorrow!
(or rather, you'll read this pointlessness)
Kthxbai!

How did it ever happen...?

Nearly 6 hours ago, I got someone to change my Facebook password. I'm spending this week without Facebook, to see what my life is like without it. So, for 6 hours, I've been without it. And I have to say, I've already had some revelations which are slightly sad. In that time, I've been playing netball and have been with people the whole time. Hanging with friends. And I've already managed to lose count of the amount of times I've picked up my phone to check my account. To check for notifications, or inboxes. It's just ridiculous how much I use it! And it's also ridiculous how hard I'm finding it to not go on Facebook! I know that I could easily recover my password and log on, to check everything. I know that I'll be getting spammed by people, because that's just how some of my friends roll. I know that I have heaps of notifications. And all I want to do is check them! It's also crazy just how many ideas I've had for statuses, that I've gone to post then realised I can't. I've already discovered just how much time I was spending on that site... and it's a very sad revelation, one that's very eye-opening for me. I never truly realised just how reliant I was on that one single website. This week is going to be very interesting. I hope I make it.

Music...

It's amazing just what music can do to you. It can alter moods, and can equally reflect exactly how you're feeling. It can act as an avenue for people to express themselves. It can allow people to go crazy, and let loose in ways they would never do otherwise. It's just beautiful.

Personally, I just love how magical it truly is. There's nothing else out there like it. I felt pretty horrible tonight. Don't know why, but I was in a shocking mood. So, I pull out my guitar, and proceed to spend 3 hours playing it. During the last song I played, I was completely in tune with the music. I didn't have a care in the world, and everything felt amazing, just sitting there, strumming on my guitar. And now, I'm writing this, and I feel great. Tired, but great.

It has this ability just to be amazing. No matter how you feel, there's something there to match it. There's always a song that you can just belt out, and feel great afterwards. I love music. It's such a massive part of my life.

It's just amazing.

"Here's to the twilight 

here's to the memories 

these are my souvenirs 

my mental pictures of everything 

Here's to the late nights 

here's to the firelight 

these are my souvenirs 

my souvenirs"

So many memories... so many friendships.

Good times in the past, good times to come.

You can't do much without friends.

Who would be there to muck around with you?

Who would be there to laugh with you when you did something stupid?

Who would be there to encourage you to do something?

Who would be there to wipe away the tears?

Friendship means a lot to me.

I treasure my friends so much, because without them I wouldn't be me.

I may tease you.

I may push you.

I may laugh at you.

But that's just me showing that I love you.

And that is what friendship is about.

Being there, through the good and the bad, because you care for each other.

Because you're mates.

You're

Friends.

I don't even...

Ok. Firstly, I'm about 99% sure I haven't written anything here in a good 6 months. Maybe longer. Who knows. Either way, I basically had nothing to write... then I forgot about it... then I couldn't be bothered... and now, with my first year of Uni over and absolutely NOTHING to do with myself until camps come along this summer, I'm sitting here at nearly 2 in the morning with a massive urge to write stuff down. So, I'm going to chuck it here, where my amazing 2 followers can read it (if they read it), and live happily in the knowledge that I've written an essay length blog thingo.

Before I actually begin, I got distracted for a bit, had a look, and my last post was in April, about the Royal Wedding. I rant a lot... haha. Oh, and it also reminded me of some wonderful things that ended so very well. (heavy sarcasm, since keyboards are amazing at showing it). Anyway.. to all you wonderful readers out there, I WILL BEGIN!

I don't even know anymore. Seriously, at the start of this year I was so pumped for everything. Uni! Living away from home! The excitement, the adventure. It's been pretty cool... except it hasn't worked out anywhere near as well as I hoped. Sure, I've survived. Somehow. When I think about it, my physical health is probably nowhere near as good as it should be, thanks to an amazing diet and sleeping habits. Then there's uni... which I struggled with. Greatly. Motivation has been a big issue, and this year has left me wondering whether or not it's actually where I'm meant to be in life at the moment. I'm not sure, and I still haven't been able to figure out exactly where I'm meant to be. I need direction, and I haven't got it. It's very disorienting.

Not that this year has been bad. Quite the opposite. It's been amazing. Made so many AWESOME friends, thanks to camps and other things. Also, my guitar playing has gotten heaps better, probably due to me buying an acoustic, putting heaps more effort into it, and having so much more motivation to actually play it. Now that I think about it, I know where the motivation came from, but I'm going to ignore that and say that it was due to my music tastes developing and changing so much. At the moment, I'm listening to Florence + the Machine. If you told me that a year ago, I would've laughed, and walked off with Parkway Drive blaring in my ears. Not that I still don't like hardcore/metal type stuff, but I've gotten more mellow in my tastes, and I enjoy it. That translates into more acousticy stuff, which means more acoustic guitar playing. I also might be taking up bass... how weird.

Yeah, this is just a heap of nothing. I mean, I would ask for you guys to give me something to write about, but I probably won't get any form of response at all. That being said, if, by some random chance, you're sitting here reading this, you should so suggest something for me to write about. Anything, I don't actually care, I'll write about anything. Just give me something :)

And on that note, I'm going to stop writing. I actually feel quite dissatisfied in finishing now... but I don't know what to put down. So I'll leave it for a few days and come back, and maybe some inspiration will have hit me. Or, by some miracle, there'll be something down below :P haha. Anyway, enjoy life, have fun, and eat lots of cookies :) That is all.
