Bella: You know I love you.
Jacob: You know how much I wish it was enough.

I've been putting off buying Short Stack tickets for ages now. The concert floated on to the back of my mind and I thought it was right at the end of July. I just got off twitter, having Shaun and Andy tell me that it was on saturday night. 

I'm not sure how I feel about that.

As we turned onto the black highway and Edward really hit the accelerator, I heard a noise over the purr of the engine coming from the forest behind us. If I could hear it, then he certainly could. But he said nothing as the sound slowly faded into the distance. I said nothing, either.

The piercing, heartbroken howling grew fainter and then disappeared entirely.

So I found this today... And was like... Um wow yeah okay. This is the Mitchell that I fell in love with like four years ago; lots of his old videos (some of them deleted now, which excited me) accumulated into one awesome, very well put together video. It's not 'razor sharp' quality, but it's still a really good portrayal of how he built his fan base. 

This video actually makes me so happy. 

Why didn't I make it? Maybe I'll make a new one, with more recent videos... *Smells like a projecttttt* It's digging time.

Also, this is definitely not a post saying that I hate how he's changed or the videos have changed or anything like that; Mitchell's grown, and changing is part of that, I've grown with him. In his video "Have Fun" he expressed his view that he 'understands that the channel will get old and people will leave', well sitting here is someone who won't falter in their viewing - has waited through the cold for the next video, and is always one of the first there. His story on it's own, even without his humour and... extra things, inspires me just by itself. I'm so happy that the boy above in that video has grown into what he is now, and making money off what he enjoys. 
  

Eternal Sunshine meets Back to the Future Part II


What does my url say? Lavahead? What does that even mean? It means me, people. Me.  [See above]  Mitchell Davis; this person, more recently, these people (Hey Kyle, you're totally included..) has/have (thanks Kyle. You made writing this difficult.) been an inspiration to me for four years, since livelavalive started. And I always vowed one day I would meet him. (them.) I never actually thought that day would come to pass, just meer wishful thinking and random shit. Until now that I've planned my trip to America next year... I have to think of something to actually say to them.

I think I might hyperventilate. 

And pass out.

Yep, yes I can totally see that happening. Hopefully I don't just come out with some shit about rubber and glue. Or smile and nod like I did when I met Andy and Shaun. I could end up streamlining towards them and grabbing them into an air tight hug like when I met Danny. Maybe I should keep the freaking out to a minimum... Or I could go all out, so they would remember me and talk about me in their next video ;)  

On a completely random, unrelated side note; I've decided that I'm only going to post on even numbered dates. Sounds like a trend. And it looks like I've already started, so might as well keep going. Also, odd numbered dates don't seem to like me much. It's a long story. Many long stories infact.

Coming to an end.

I'm surprised to find myself thinking about the end of the year at this point. I've tried to put it off for some time and thought I would be able to, but I just can't. I'm not one of those people who are like, "Awesome, school is over forever." I'm more like, "Oh no, school is over. I won't get to see all these amazing people everyday." And it's true, I am 100% like that. Even the people who I don't ever talk to at school, they mean something to me because without them, there would be something different. There is a divide in our common room right, it's not like it was in year ten and below, with all the little groups and their social hierarchy shit. We have our side, and I love them all to bits, but without the other side it would be unbalanced. Wow, the 'other side' haha, come to the 'other side' we have candy... No but seriously, I love the friends that I have on the other side that I get to see sometimes, it breaks it up and you're able to branch out.

I'm sick of endings, and I hate big change. So far there have been three big endings for me; when I moved away from my friends in Tasmania when I was eight, the end of year six moving to Trinity, and the end of year ten when all my friends moved to different colleges. All those endings sucked ass. But of course the optimistic outlook would be, "Yes Tia, but they bring about new beginnings." And I suppose that's true. I can't bear the thought of not knowing the people I know now, and moving to Canberra was imperative for me to do so. The previous point still applies for moving to Trinity, and as for the end of year ten, I reconnected with my current best friends so hey, it's all good, I still keep in contact with everyone. I'm trying to keep all this in mind when I think about year twelve coming to an end. I think about all the new people I could meet at uni and what new experiences it will bring. But then the irrepressible train of thought returns, "I like where I am at now, why can't it stay like this?" Everything comes to an end at some point. How depressing. I'm going to be a complete mess at my graduation. And my formal. Both events that mark an ending. The year twelve video will probably just about kill me, my year six one still does. How sad. I guess it proves how much I appreciate what I have in my life, and that I don't want anyone or anything to disappear, as much as they always do.

I am now going to force myself to write about happy things, move away from the depressing undertones of the last two paragraphs. Because hey, I almost never actually write in my blog, I always post pictures and videos. Only because of the sheer awesomeness that every single one of my pictures excretes haha. What good things are going to come of the year ending?
  • My birthday; that is one good example. I'll finally be eighteen and be able to fuck some shit up. This also brings my party. That is going to be epic. Hard to beat last years trip, but I'll give it a good hard go ;)
  • November brings around the third season of MISFITS. Now that is something I am eagerly anticipating, regardless of Nathan leaving. On the topic of Nathan leaving, this new guy had better be a damn good replacement, or else they're going to find that their ratings drop. And Rudy (the new character) shouldn't aim to be a copy of Nathan either, that would be tacky and unless he's Robert Sheehan's twin; it just wouldn't work. The Simon and Alisha plot line will hold it together for me when Nathan is gone... I found out Nathan was leaving before I had finished season one, and I thought I'd have to stop watching it. But after season two, I'm content in my fandom :D
  • The end of the year brings me six months closer to my AMERICA TRIP. So. Keen. You have no idea how much I want to go there. Also I have a new America goal, I have to get a Simon and Alisha picture in Vegas. See picture below for reference.
So there you go, there's three nice things to come of my year ending. I wonder which side would win on a scale? I would have to say the good side, otherwise I would be the saddest person alive not see that the good things coming outweigh the bad. Who wants to come join me in the adventure called my future?

"Do you know there was a midget that got swallowed whole by a hippo recently in a circus? He came off a trampoline at a funny angle and a hippo was yawning by the edge of the ring and he went straight into his mouth! That’s got nothing to do with this but it just popped into my head."

The world is good when you realise that Robert doesn't have to act to be Nathan, it's just his personality. 
  
Don't forget me; I beg. I remember you said:
"Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead."

James Franco: "When I was a child, I wanted to be an actor, but I had really bad buck teeth. I didn’t want to get braces, but my mom said I couldn’t be an actor if I didn’t get the braces. So, I got the braces."
