Hey there, my name's Scarlett but you can call me Letty! I'm a 14 year old girl from Australia on a quest to live life to the fullest! (I am aware of how cheesy that sounded...) This is where I try to organise my messy life into a digital diary. Enjoy! Also, I am new to neocities so my website is a big work in progress.
The summer break is coming up (superr exciteddd !!) so I will be doing a website revamp because it's pretty basic rn. I have zero ideas so we'll just see where this takes me. I'll probably start planning it first week of break, and the second week (Christmas week) I'll start working on it.
Guys...a kid in my class (English ofc nowhere else would this bullshit happen) got hairspray for some reason, and he had a lighter in his pocket. It's pretty obvious where this is going but he basically went behind the screen so the teacher won't see him because they were in the class room next door, then he sprayed the hairspray and lit it on fire. It was right near me so I saw it in my peripheral vision, and dude it was huge. AND HE ONLY GOT SUSPENDED FOR ONE DAY !!! Like wtf man he made a made makeshift flamethrower?!! 😭
Today I had my dance rehearsal. It was kinda scary since I have never been front centre for the end of year show which is pretty big for me. That was hip hop, and so I think I could have done better. Jazz was pretty good though I messed up the last little part. For costumes, my hip hop is low-key weird like it's a red tank and black jacket and cargos in this plasticky fabric that is so fucking loud when I move around, and we haven't got our jazz costumes yet but I think it'll be pretty cool beans because the theme is 70s. Anyway, I'm having another rehearsal in two weeks so hopefully it will go better.
Y'all I am home! I am soo happy to be back to normal bruv. I just did my photo dump from last weekend, not many there though. I decided to fix my sleep schedule so now I sleep at 9:00pm and wake up at 5:00am, it's goals but I wonder how long it's gonna last 😭. I'll try to stick to my routines but I always burn out eventually. I mean who knows, maybe this time will be different.
Dudeee I can't wait to go homeee! I get homesick so super easily. And I don't just mean my house, I mean like everything that makes me feel warm and safe like people and small moments. I have only felt like that recently for a small amount of time with my friends and my boyfriend, then it's back to being homesick again. I'm just looking forward to things going back to normal. I'm afraid this always happens when I'm away from home. I don't know why, and it sucks ass.
This weekend I watched The Princess Bride, and hung out with my boyfriend in the city. It was so cool because we went to the state library and there was this woman singing opera while a guy played the piano. It was beautiful watching it and looking at all the old books. After that, we walked around and got some food, met with his friends, and that was basically it. I took my digicam with me but I don't have my SD card reader where I'm staying, so I'll do a photo dump when I get home this Sunday.
I also finished Crime and Punishment recently, which in my Fable review I basically said it is worth the long time it took me to read it and it was dialogue heavy but overall an amazing and extremely thought-provoking novel. I am now reading You Like It Darker by Stephen King. Which just gave me an idea to add a little currently reading section somewhere on this page, so I'll make that sometime this week.
Today I had a mock trail for class, and OMD. We did pretty well and lots of people agreed that we should win, even people from the prosecution (I was on defence). AND WE LOST! It was such bullshit it was so obvious you could not prove the defendant guilty beyond reasonable doubt, THE MOTHERFUCKING EVIDENCE WAS NOT STRONG ENOUGHHHH! Seriously open your eyes jury.
Anywho, life has been pretty chill lately, I'm currently staying at a family friend's house since my mother is working overseas in Fiji. I really wish I was there with her since the resort is like really nice and fortunately I do get to go but in December. But idc about waiting, I'm super grateful to be able to go. It'll be sooo good especially since it is straight after school finishes.
I can't believe I only discovered riot grrrl recently! Like oml how could I have lived a second without it. I am now a worshipper of Bikini Kill 😁, but my favourite band has to be Jack Off Jill. So I believe this calls for a riot grrrl shrine. Stay tunedd!
While I'm making a blog post on music, I have to mention a new spotify artist as of April this year, meadow scott. She currently has two singles out and a bunch more demos on her SoundCloud, I am begging you to check her out. I found her music since I had been watching her YouTube vlogs (which are also great), I just love her vibe.
Today I was meant to have a debate on "If you have not agreed to a law, it means you do not have to follow it." (thank god I was on the negative team). It was supposed to happen last week but we ran out of time.
For the first two lessons of the day, my brain was not functioning. Like I was super tired and had a bit of a headache, so there was no way I could get up in front of my whole class and speak let alone do a rebuttal on the spot. So I ended up going home early, even though I actually wanted to do that debate. It sucks because I was so ready for it last week, but when it finally came around, I just didn't feel like I could do it.
At least I got some rest once I got home. Oh, and I finally chose my opinion piece topic for English (it only took me five days 😭), I'm doing "Cosmetic surgery is not morally justifiable".
Update 22/10/2025: I am now doing "The Punk Scene Needed Riot Grrrl" as my opinion piece because it is wayyyy better
This weekend was pretty fun! On Friday night, my bestie came over and we went on a walk to the park and cemetery before heading home for lasagna because we are Garfield. We played the Game of Life (which I won 😁) and Monopoly, though we sadly didn't finish Monopoly.
On Saturday, I had my hip hop and jazz dance classes. We did circuit workouts in both, which was so tiring 😭. But my jazz teacher, who was filling in for my hip hop teacher, complimented my dancing so that absolutely made my day. Later, I went to an Asia festival with my mother and got peking duck pancakes, a pork bao bun, a samosa, and a mango lassi. We walked around and saw these really pretty lanterns that silly me didn't take any photos of.
On Sunday, I went to the cinemas with my boyfriend to watch this really good film 'Roofman'. After the movie, we grabbed burritos and doughnuts and walked around for a bit. I was pretty tired after that, so I just chilled for the rest of the night before having to wake up to a new week of school.
First day of term 4 was today! I got like 4 hours sleep last night so that was great preparation! My day ended up pretty tiring. It was still fun seeing my friends again, but STEM in particular was horrid since we had to sit and listen to the teachers yap about what we'll be learning this term. We're doing this project to make a holder thingo for a test tube to grow a plant clipping out of while learning about plants, biodiversity, and that type of stuff. The worst part is, we have to do a maths and science report! I mean science reports are great when it comes to biology, but I despise maths reports, despite maths being my favourite subject and loving writing.
The second lesson we got to go to the botanical gardens though so that was really good. Global perspectives was an interesting lesson, our teacher yapped about a deserted island scenario and connected to law and stuff which was actually pretty good. Then I had my least favourite class, English. Like OMG, I loveee the subject, but when it's with my class and my teacher, it's the absolute worst. We were just introduced to the topic for the term and assessments and we're doing it all on exam.net 💀. Our teacher was saying how he wanted to prevent ai usage, but that's rich coming from him since his lesson scream chatgpt and even if they aren't he basically gives out A's since I didn't even complete an oral assessment because I was away and he gave me an A 😭. But anywho, we get to write an opinion piece so that means I can yap about an issue like I just did 2 seconds ago 😀. And finally after school, I chickened out of my hip hop competition team audition (probably was a bad decision like just do it girl tf) and stayed home reading, working on making a game, and watching suits.
