you beauty.

So ... today is my final drama performance for 2009 and I'm ecstatic!
We've been rehearsing for 10 long and strenuous weeks, but it's totally been worth it. Today, I'll take my camera and upload some photos of my group. They're awesome and I'll miss them SO MUCH!

But in the meantime, here is a photo of my beautiful bunny, Penny Lane.

AND my beautiful dog, Millie.

I was awarded the "Beautiful Blogger Award" by the awesome olivias-pizzazz.
My very first award. Thank You So Much!

Here are the rules:
1. Thank the person who nominated me for this award.
2. Copy the award & place it on my blog.
3. Link to the person who nominated me for this award.
4. Tell us 7 interesting things about yourself.
5. Nominate 7 bloggers.
6. Post links to the 7 blogs I nominate.

Okay, seven interesting things...
1. I'm homeschooled through a correspondence school, which I love. I've been attending it since Year 7 and I honestly believe that I have made vast improvements in my education through being homeschooled. Did you know I almost had to repeat Year 1? Now, I've just topped Year 11 in English! TAKE THAT MAINSTREAM TEACHERS! Sorry :)

2. I got my hair cut much like Carey Mulligan's and I love it!
I also have blue/green eyes and light brown hair and I'm 169cm (I've grown so much over the past year, it's unbelievable. A year ago I was 158cm).

3. I've been acting since I was eight years old. When I was nine, I auditioned for the musical, "Oliver Twist" which was touring Australia at the time. I have absolutely no idea who I was auditioning for, but unfortunately I didn't get the role. However, that was when my passion for acting eventuated. At the beginning of 2009, I was also accepted into a Part-Time Drama Course running for a whole year, every Sunday (12pm - 5pm). My final performance for the year is next week.

4. I absolutely adore animals. I have two dogs, a rabbit and a turtle. I've also developed a fascination with dolphins after watching "Dolphin Days" on Animal Planet.

5. I'm obsessed with simplicity, in relation to fashion. This passion was further developed by my mother who manages an independent clothing store.

6. I was forced into attending an etiquette course, and believe it or not, it was probably one of the greatest experiences of my life.

7. When I finish school, I'm still unsure as to what I'd like to pursue. I either want to study Acting, Journalism, Teaching or something revolving around Fashion or Animals. However, I've still got plenty of time to think about that.

Tagging Time:
Okay, here's the deal. See, everybody I know on blogger have already been awarded this 'prestigious' award, and as a result, I'm awarding it to absolutely everybody.
Here you go.
Congratulations.

Before I die ...

So ... I was on kiki and the kaleidoscope and she posted an amazing post with reference to the website, before i die i want to.

"The Before I die I want to... project was inspired by a combination of factors: (1) the “death” of the Polaroid, (2) a psychologist’s tool called safety contracts, and (3) a passion to get people to think about (and act upon) what is really important in their lives through this simple, straight-forward question. "

Here are a few of my favourites, taken from the USA and Hospice sections of the site.

I feel like I have done everything I wanted to do. —Chelsi

I now officially adore this website!
But, what I want to know is - What do YOU want to do before you die?

Also, thank you to everybody for all the lovely comments you have given me about my blog. They're very much appreciated!

THIS IS GENIUS!
It depicts children in Rodarte, Givency, Chanel, and more. The editorial is from Purple Magazine and it's simply gorgeous. There's a certain youthfulness to children that is meticulously portrayed in this shot; it's perfect. You should definitely check out Coûte Que Coûte. Freaking Fantastic.

OH MY GOODNESS.
And I almost forgot!
I got a haircut, which I absolutely LOVE.

It resembles Carey Mulligan's new short cut:

It's just perfect. It's probably, no wait, definitely the best cut I've ever had.

I'll upload a photo as soon as I can.

I can't wait to get back to the world of blogging.
