The Beatles

The Beatles are one of my favourite bands of all time! Their music and sound is so inspirational and is nothing like some of the trashy music of today. The Beatles had everything sorted out, they saw what the world was really like and wrote songs that were so honest and meaningful. They could say something so powerful in just one song. My Uncle and Mum have always been massive fans of The Beatles so I really grew up in a Beatles household-and I'm glad I did. The Beatles are AMAZING!!!


The Beatles really opened up a new era of music. Overall I believe The Beatles have changed the world-I know those are strong words, but I truly believe they have, and definitely changed it for the better:) My Mum always tells her friends I was born way too late. She says this because I am into a lot of old things-eg. clothes, music, tech- and I'm quite hippyish. I reckon It would have been great to have been born in the hippy revolution-when everything was simply about love, friends, peace and music. Luckily for me, my life already has those 4 things in it:)

Glasses and Red Licorice

So I've had glasses since grade 8, I just never wear them which is really bad because my eyesight will just get "worser and worser" *wink* I always new I was going to be visionally disabled as my mum wears contacts and my dad has glasses, so I really had no chance! Its weird that I don't wear my glasses though, because I'm always wearing my Ray Ban and John Lennon sunnies:) But I suppose thats because they are EPIC compared to my slightly less epic long distance glasses...







Nevertheless, I shall eventually get to the point where I am partially blind and then realize I should be wearing them more frequently. At that point I shall put on my spectacles and sing "I can see clearly now I put my glasses on"-to the the tune of "I can see clearly now the rain is gone":)
yes, I'm that cool.
Anyway I'm having hashies and red licorice for breakfast (very nutritious I know) so toodle pip

The simple things that make me smile.

Here are just a few things that brighten up my day:







Silly Cartoons.



DIY creative Time.







Photography and Skins







Tea, Flowers and writing on your arms
:)

L-O-V-E! I love you and you love me!

Ahhhhhhh Love. Such a wonderful topic! When everyones heart flutters as soon as that certain individual gives you a shy glance from across the room. Yes, we've all been there. Some people believe love is the most important journey in which we take. "God gave us two eyes, two arms, two legs, but only one heart, so we could find the other."



Being a teenager though no one seems to take love seriously. In fact at my school, everyone seems to put bets on "couples" for how long they will last. Is this really what its come to? Putting labels on other peoples relationships?It really isn't any of our business to begin with!



I'm kind of strong minded about this topic because its happening to one of my guy friends at the moment. Unfortunately his other friend isn't helping, and my friend is too proud to say its bothering him. I don't know what to do because I know its hurting him, but I don't want to screw everything up. So instead of actually interfering, I've let him come to me whenever he wants to talk about it, therefor we can discuss the issues and try to resolve them. In doing this he knows I care.



I do have my crushes, but thats all they really are. I like being single and just having friends, because we have the rest of our lives to have relationships. I'm happy when other people are happy so if people are in relationships and are happy-so am I. If the get "broken hearted" I will support them. You win some you lose some. Relationships come and go, but true friends remain true. Love is a beautiful thing, and everyone in the world deserves to be loved.

Be yourself!

Its ok to be different. It makes everyone unique. If everyone was the same it would be a very boring world. I personally love meeting new people, because I love to talk to them and find out what they like and dislike and what's interesting about them. Two days ago I went with my best friend to this meeting about her going to Jordan, as her, her sister and 3 other boys were chosen to represent Australia.



We had never met the boys before and we didn't know what to expect, but whenever I get to meet new people I see it as an opportunity to make new friends. The guys we met were very cool! One was in grade 10 and he was a composer who had never learnt how to play piano, but his compositions blew me away! The one in grade 9 was quite quiet, but he was an amazing tap dancer-which makes him instantly cool! The third boy was in grade 8 (I know what your thinking-grade eight like eww) but he was really funny so I got along with him quite well too!



I love the way I am. The uniqueness that is me, Stefanie. I love how everyone has the power to be different and have there own opinion. I am quite stubborn which is one of my bad points, but now that I have accepted that I am naturally stubborn I can control it, and focus on more of my good points. I have a creative mind, I believe, which helps me with what I'm good at.



Last night someone complimented me one being good at music, and I usually don't take compliments very well, but I just said thanks, because I realized everyones good at different things, so its ok. This boy then went on to say that he could not do any type of music at all, but I believe everyone has music within them, they just have to find the right instrument.



Overall, I love talking to people, and taking interests in what they say. Everyone has a different story to tell, so next time you meet someone, take the time to listen to there tale. I bet its like none you've ever heard before.

Procrastination=Watermelon Slices and Tic Tac's

Ok so I'm probably one of the most skilled procrastinators around! I always go from one idea to another, no matter what I'm doing at the time...my friend Meg also has this level of skill. Ok so fist I must tell you, me and meg are pirates, I know its cool but hush don't blow our school girls cover. Anyway for music in groups we had to do a piece of music that was specifically written for a movie, and our group chose "Way Back into Love" from Music and Lyrics.



On the weekend before it was due, Meg decided to hold a rehearsal at her house. I being an always prepared pirate, came...prepared. But Meg and I were the only two who came. So we had the rehearsal with just the two of us. We both knew our part already and anouther group in our music class had made a film clip to there song, sooooooooo we decided to make one for ours. Luckily enough I had brought pirate dress ups so the video could be to the full glory it is today. The whole film clip is us running away from TIC-TAC-TI-MUS-PRIME (a box of orange Tic Tac's) while dressed as pirates, while grooving, while on a playground-yes we have oober mega Avatar Pirate Skills! Anyway It was an EPIC day and if you want to see that video look on my youtube channel which is steffieb4steffie.



Ok I know you are thinking where did the orange Tic Tac's even come from, well, ever since I watched the movie Juno ("Silencio old man!") I've always loved orange tic tac's and I don't even know why?-possibly because Michael Cera is the sexiest man alive and my soon to be husband apart from the fact that he doesn't know me, but hey I think me kidnapping him in a sack (like in Borat) might just win him over:)



Ok to finish this entry off I just want to say that watermelon is my favourite food ever so eat it.



byesies for nowsies.

Lazy Sundays-Reminiscing...

I love photography! I love taking photos, looking at photos, and being in them!!! i recently got a Polaroid camera which is awesome, and it takes great photos! it is like my child, I might even marry it...yep I just said I was going to marry my child and it totally didn't make it awkward...anyway I also love music as I've said before. At the moment one of my favourite songs is lullaby by Newton Faulkner. The Piano part and the lyrics are absolutely adorable! I've been a fan of Newton Faulkner for quite a while now, and I've seen him play live-which was amazing-and I love him because his music is sooo meaningful and hey, who doesn't like watching someone with ranga dreds, am I right?




a>
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sundays how I do adore you...I really want to go to the beach because it is my favourite place in the world! Once there I would play hacky sack with my hacky sacking boys-which are all pro in comparison with me, but its not to hard to be better that me...:)




Seasons and Penguin Huddles

I love the contrast in Seasons

A great thing about winter is that you have an excuse to penguin huddle-not that you need an excuse...you can have lots of tea and coffee to keep you warm, and also bring back some of those winter fashions which always makes us feel all snugly and warm:)






Oh how i do miss the summer though, i mean winters cool and all but summer is season of raves with friends, beaches and tea parties!




Ahhhh yes summer a time when almost everyone from school has little gatherings at Oxford Street <3>


Crazy Cats and Misjudgment

Ok I have lots of crazy things in my life. One being my cat Rafiki. He follows me around. You may be like "awwww thats sooo adorable" and it is when he's not outside your door 24/7 meowing and scratching! I mean its gotten to the point where I can't even go to the toilet without him right outside the door! He's sitting with me right now watching me type because I felt so mean because he was meowing outside my door and he still has his kitten meow! I know, I'm such a push over. Anyway when I finally let him in my room he starts purring while bitting my feet? He soo determined, like a grade 8 trying to be cool-hahah I forgot how hard grade 8's try to fit in-it makes me laugh :) I love locker room stampedes at my school because all the grades eights get trampled-hahahah mother nature at her finest! Now, once in a blue moon, you get some really awesome grade 8's, but only a few, and the rest are weedy little turds. 

I love wrong stereotyping. It makes my day. The other day I was on a public bus and there was a young mother with her pram and really tough looking biker man sitting next to me. Two complete strangers and the biker began talking to the mother. He said in a very posh English accent "Hi I'm Richard, and can I just say you have an adorable baby, what's her name?" I was sooo shocked, and i think the mother was too. They carried on talking for quite a while and I found out he had studied music and literature at university-which is awesome! finally when the mother went to get off, Richard helped her get the pram off the bus! How nice is that?!?!? I really makes you think about how quick to judge people we really are. I guess we all really have to learn that its not what's on the outside that counts.

Anyway thats the rest of my wisdom today, now I shall frolic around my backyard listening to 80's music while eating water melon.
chao!

Individuality and Music





               Molly Smiles (sweetest song ever)

Daddy's little girl paints the world with her magic wand
Daddy's little child breathes new life to the morning time for me
Though we're apart, her thoughts follow me
When I come home, Molly smiles with the dawn
Molly smiles, and she radiates the glow around her halo
When she plays, Molly smiles
On a summer day, Molly smiles
A new day, Molly smiles

Daddy's little girl ties a ribbon around my heart
Daddy's little child waves goodbye to the ocean tide that sweeps me
Though we're apart, she's a part of me

Molly smiles with the dawn
Molly smiles and she radiates the glow around her halo
When she plays, Molly smiles
On a summer day, Molly smiles
A new day, Molly smiles

When I come home, Molly smiles with the dawn
Molly smiles and she radiates the glow around her halo
                                                                       When she plays, Molly smiles
                                                                      On a summer day, Molly smiles
                                                                      A new day, Molly smiles

                                                                     When the days have gone grey, 
                                                                      Nothing's wrong when Molly smiles

-Being a writer of songs myself, although none of them being any good, the most important thing  to me in a song is the lyrics because I want my lyrics to move someone, to make them stop and think. These lyrics paint a picture for me which is what I believe to be the most successful thing a lyricist can do. Hi I'm Steffie and I love music, acting, friends and family because they are the most important things in my life.
I LOVE all things indie because being completely individual is one of my many ways of life. I love indie art, music and people. Individuality is the inner strength we all have that drives our purpose in this world. It helps us to bring forth new ideas picked straight from the imagination, from human personality. I'm not always this insightful, but i should start every post like this in order to match the name:)


By nature, I love making people smile. Its my purpose. I love comedy because that is a way of making people laugh which i believe is an amazing gift to have. I love my friends because they all make me laugh. I love my group because we are all soo different and each one of them has a different way of making me laugh.
 
Anyway thats all for now. I will write to my blogitty again after I build a lego tower, watch Docter Who and watch Charlieissocoollike on Youtube!
this is me signing off,
