im in love with younger people

i dont really know the year 9s at my school...so i can't judge.
the year 11s are fairly ok i guess, the really good ones balance out the duds. but if i had to name a favourite year it would have to be year 10. YES YOU!  LOOK AT YOU, YOU TALENTED, CLEVER....yeah.
 in-chorals joke ftw.
this years group are so much more confident and cool than i was in year 10, or year 11 for that matter.
im not going to be diplomatic, i'm going to yell out names of my favourite darling dryads GRETA, ISABELLE, BECK.

you guys da bomb.

yes i might have just written this specifically so they will read it; but thats ok because in dryads everyone loves everyone and its beautiful and natural. i'm feeling particularly loving tonight; something about analysing political language obviously agrees with me.

awesome sauce

I almost forgot I have this thing

I really admire Courtney Beckett's photography (not to mention her brother, the subject of these particular photographs ♥). Courtney is a young photographer from the suburbs of Chicago(Hoffman Estates for anyone who feels particularly stalkerish...aka Me). Each one of her images tells a different story and conveys a different emotion or situation. Or maybe I'm just particularly easy to convince. That could be it...
I think the above "I Refuse toTo Be A Casualty Of This Indifference" is my favourite (and no, not just for the shirtlessness). It struck a chord with me, the message of 'its alright to want to do something more than "gotoschoolmarryhavekidsretiredie"' is really important. it has to be made clear that living for the sake of living is NOT ok. I know without my impossible dream to drive me, I couldn't face getting out of bed each day.
As Mr John Keating says in Dead Poets Society:
"Live deliberately...make every moment count"
