2006-03-14T19:27:00.000+11:00

yo. i SO did play lawn bowls today!!
and, ok, i didn't win at all, but the first time i ever played was last wednesday! adn i was on a team who were all in that same boat, AND we lost to the best team by less than anyone else did, we weren't bad at all, we lost by 3 points first, then by 1 point, then by 13 (that was against the REALLY good team who beat the other teams by 14 and 34 HAH!). so i am very proud. can you tell? :) and, i am debating for the first time this year next wednesday, and on tuesday i am Mock trialling :) so many extra-ciriculars- not only those but i'm also doing this musical thing-o, and helping write it. i NEVER have a lunch-time to myself anymore :'( thats the news folks.

"i dont want anybody else, when i think about you i touch myself, i touch myself" hehe, thats a funny song, reminds me of Austin Powers...:D i like that movie.

2006-02-18T15:47:00.000+11:00

feel it, my darling...

last night, i saw "the Vagina Monologues", and it was such a funny, great play, it was so good. it was basically exactly as you would guess from the name, about Vaginas. some parts were serious and contrasted with the funny parts, making it even better. It had views from different age groups, different countries and it was just amazing. put on by local women too, they were great! i feel sorry for the people in my drama class who didn't come, you deffinately missed out. extremely good.

i have done half of my homework, thank goodness. all i have to do is maths... and that can wait till tomorrow! :D

when i'm a walkin'...

2006-02-14T18:07:00.000+11:00

i dont where to go from here...

well there's this so stupid new guy at school, talks hismself up sooo fricken much! actually it's fairly funny, like today, during a free w/ a fair few other yr 11s, including him -half the time he was talking about himself, but it was funny cos me n this other guy just looked at eachother and rolled our eyes and stuff... pretty funny really, but at the same time really really annoying and stupid. someone really should tell him to shut up about himself.. in a nice way... cos he's ok really, unless you get him onto his favorite topic -himself.
so yeah, schools has been great.. signing out to go downtown at lunch... :) for free periods... and getting lots of work :(sad sad state of affairs really... :D good times

2006-01-25T09:21:00.000+11:00

a new blog on the web...

www.australiandaily.blogdrive.com

i am going to be extremely lazy here for a while and probably won't post here for a while, then again i might post lots... anyway, the site above is the new blog, shared posting with a few friends from sydney which is cool, it could be interesting, of course i think it is already... GO THERE.

2006-01-23T09:45:00.000+11:00

went to the races last week! it was so much fun, i went with my sister and 2 of our neighbours plus a fair few others, we picknicked... anyway, my sister's bestie was racing (she's an apprentice jockey), and she won three races!!! thats the second time she's done that, the last time was also at the moruya racecourse, and she has only been racing for 2 and a half months!!! (she had raced in barrier trials before that) which is freaking awesome! it rained so that wasn't so good, and although i was soaked, it was still heaps of fun.

i LOVE blueberries!!! they are so yummy!

ooooo school next week!!!! wow-ee. and im working all this week... bummer.

anyway, i read memoirs of a geisha and diaries of a manhattan call girl last week, they were both okay but not really that great. memoirs of a geisha was the better of the two although i thought it was a bit long, and the other one was just repetitive. still, kept me occupied...

it was so hot yesterday, and saturday!!!! argh and now today is getting that way.

so many bugs around town!!! wow, little beetles-type-things, annoying and weird.

what else is interesting...? anyone read a good book recently?

"b-b-b-b-baby you just ain't seen nothin yet..."

2006-01-14T18:35:00.000+11:00

2 best biscuits ever: Pfeffernusse and speculaas. 1st one's german, 2nd is dutch, and they rock. honestly, the are so yummmmmy!!!

moving on...
read "the Da vinci code" (finally) and it was good, but it was written kinda weirdly... idk... it was really good tho...

wow, im working so much these hols... only 4 days off the whole rest of the time... shall be good though.. money money money...

not much else to say... short blog...

2006-01-08T12:27:00.000+11:00

coolest book ever: the bob dylan scrapbook 1956-1966.
so so so good. he is so frickin' cool! seriously! i have always liked his music, the lyrics are awesome i HAVE a copy, it is so good, it has pictures, handwritten lyrics, and even a couple of stickers! so cool. here are some of the lyrics from "blowin' in the wind" because its cool:

how many times must a man look up
before he can see the sky
how many ears must one man have
before he can hear people cry
how many deaths will it take 'til he knows
too many people have died

seriously, he completely rocks, he was so smart... so cool...
he just has this way of making you think about things so thoroughly, and just look around maybe? or look at things differently... idk...

ooh i'm going to buy a new phone.
isn't that funny, i can babble on about someone so different, kind of scorning of material things and then go on and say i'm getting a new thing that i don't really need, but i want. stupid hey? oh well. so i'll have a new number probably next week sometime, and i'll send it to everyone via txt. mmm.

will be working all this week, monday 'til sunday, which will be okay, i only start at 10, so it'll be fine.

well, have friends down from sydney, which is waaay cool. also, am loving everything right now, excited about making money, excited that school comes back at the end of the month, excited that i'll probably be doing mock trial during the year... and friends, and just... YR 11?!!!!! wow. feel old... nah not really, but funny thing to say.

am slightly amazed at... things...

quite disgusted at other things...

2006-01-03T12:09:00.000+11:00

so, my first post for the new year.

well, last year was a really really nice year for me... i made some friends... reconnected with others... and okay, i disconnected some and was a complete bitch.... sorry for that... i'm trying to make up for it...

so the year was... a bludge. really, completely bludge-worthy and i really probably should have tried to get into swing with the whole studing thing... i suppose this year will have to be the year.

okay, so this year. camping tomorrow with good friends, am fairly excited about that :)
these holidays i usually go up to sydney, but my sister doesn't want to so i guess i won't be untill maybe next holidays... which is a bummer.
basically my holidays have involved swimming, listening to music, talking... anything.
i really should be reading the road book thingo so i can go get my L's. i really think i will do that this week...

anyway, i am actually excited about going back to school at the end of the month, weird isn't it, i like school. i like seeing my friends there everyday, half-listening to the teachers... talking and laughing.

not much is going on here, as you can tell.

2005-12-27T17:10:00.000+11:00

frukles. argh. i do NOT APPRECIATE MY PLANS BEING DISRUPTED BY SPOILT LITTLE 10 YEAR OLDS!

as you can probably tell, im not particularly happy. we have people here, camping. the 2 adults are really quite nice. the kid is an obnoxious weed.

lets not dwell on unpleasantries though... today was... perfect weather, like 28 deg. all day long... blue skies. i picknicked down at the rapids. lovely.

feel as if i mght go and have another swim soon...

christmas was perfect, not a cloud in the sky, relaxation... presents... :D

and i hope everyone had a great chrissy too, have a good new year too, i might post before the new year but probably not.

2005-12-19T19:26:00.000+11:00

hmm, been a while since i wrote here. im slack. anyway, its just because not much has happened lately, it is, after all, holidays.

ok, i did go out to lunch today, to discuss the big gig with sian, becky and alice. IT WAS GOOD! we have deided a fair amout of the happenings, but not telling yet until things are sorted and its underway.

maybe going to bells carnival tomorrow night, which could be wonderful! i love bells, its just so funny. and fun.

i read anthea's copy of 'the secret life of bees' by Sue Monk Kidd. its really cool, set in the 1960's it is about this little girls life and it's pretty brilliant.

CHRISTMAS SOON!!! cool.

i should get people prezzies. well, i've got mums. bob dylan stuff, im kinda jealous of her for what im giving. weird i know. its from me and my sis :)

im keen to see 'the lion, the witch and the wardrobe.' loved the books, am kinda cut that they didn't start with 'the magican's nephew' but oh well, should still be good. siany and i are going to go together, which shall be cool. urgghh! im such a weirdo...

2005-12-14T19:33:00.000+11:00

i am almost unbelieving of the racism and absolute crap which is going on right now.
for one thing, the news people calling the lebanese and middle eastern people "migrants". all of us are migrants. how dare they, and it just causes more segregation. these people are saying how the "migrants" are being picked on, and its like they are calling us white, anlgo-saxon people real australians or something. for goodness sake, we are all aussies, wether they like it or not, and all they are doing by labeling people differently is causing hatred. fucking idiots. they aren't the worst though, thats the saddest part. the worst are the people on the radio, the way the talk, its discusting. all the crap about "taking back the beach" why can't they just live together in peace? its really not that hard. start it at school, people need to be educated about racism. seriously.

anyway. enough sad crap. the beach today was great, apart from me having the weirdest feeling. weirdo. it was fantastic though, pure blue sky, cold, clear water, wonderful people. beautiful.

okay, enough for today. dinner time.

2005-12-11T13:12:00.000+11:00

well. sadness that the school year is over, relief that my s.c. marks were good, sickness (on friday) from... the night before lol, but overall i am happy. very happy.

the formal was probably the best night i have had ever. seriously, it was awesome. as predicted, i got a pay-out award, for "i got a hanky". to cut a long story short, becky was about to give a eulogy for eng speeches, and warned us that she might cry, our teacher said " pity i didnt bring tissues" or some such thing, and i responded with " i have a hanky" it was funny at the time i guess. the rest of the night was absolutely awesome too, photos, friends... the people i sat at the table with were great, and i danced and everything. it was FANTASTIC. it really was. the after party was alos good, but some of the guys who were there were absolute idiots, as to be expected lol. i saw this friend of mine who i hadn't seen for years and years, and it was so awesome to see him, i spent ages talking to him. the next day though, i was rat shit. seriously, it was awful. i was ok by the time i had to get my s.c. at the assembly, thank goodness. went home and had a sleep :) tomorrow i have to go and practice for the presentation day assemblywhere i am getting an award, i have no idea what for though, so that will be interesting. tomorrow night is the premiere of the movie i helped make, i can not wait, it will be great, i hope.

okay, results for the school cert.
eng: 91 band 6
maths: 91 band 6
sci: 87 band 5
hist: 90 band 6
geog: 88 band5
i know this sounds a bit weird but... i am so freaking happy! that is soooo good! i know i sound really up myself, but i don't really care right now... shut up.
so, onto more important years, where i shall DO MY WORK!!! i really, really will.

so my life is fairly exciting at the moment. why shouldn't it be though. cool.

2005-12-06T19:08:00.000+11:00

wow, what a week or mabey just few days.

saw harry potter 4 on sunday, thought it was good, probably thats because cedric was so damn hot!!!!!!! harry was hot too, of course (shut up) but he needed a hair cut. kinda badly. he was still hot though. lol. anyway, it was good, the people were cool, but the start of it, when the other schools come in... its corny. no spoilers though.

ok, so moving on, anthea and robbie finally got together, so thats cool, and cute.

THE FORMAL IS IN TWO DAYS TIME!!! how exciting, it will be a great night im very, very sure, i believe i will be getting one pay-out-ish award, if not more, for various things throughout the year, which will be fun, memories lol. MUST GET SHOES!

so, next thing is... holidays, they will be awesome, camping, movies, beach... YAY! gosh i love hols. and there will be fun, people coming to stay, always fun! christmas! new years!

Now to end on a weird note, here is some german:

Du Liedest Wohl Unter GroBenwahn. (your ego is out of control)
Sachte! (easy, tiger!)

2005-12-01T10:47:00.000+11:00

I HAVE A DRESS FOR THE FORMAL!!!
it is fantastic, really old style, high waisted, smallish flowers, a little bit of black on it, big buttons down the front... waaaay different to anyone else's. and... its just cool.
so today i am going to shop for shoes and a bit of black ribbon (for a sash). im not going to use a bag, too much... baggage... :oP

the formal is next thursday!!! the premiere of the smoking movie is not next monday, but the one after that!!! coolness!!!

moving on, then tonight i am going out to dinner and then seeing the pirates of penzance at school, which alice is the lead in, and im told that the three main characters: the pirate king, the major general and frederic are the only good actors in it. should be fun though.

on saturday i think im going to the movies after work, either that or the beach, with ant, robbie etc... they are such awesome friends. really, they seem to make me feel... fearless? idk. its cool though.

i got 2 new books today, with a gift voucher i got for my b'day, i got "the new Penguin Leunig", and it is absolutely brilliant. a little more political than the old one, but so so so very clever. Michael Leunig is a genius. i also got a sydney street guide for my sis for christmas, but i might keep it for when i go there... maybe. anyway, here are a couple of quotes i've taken from the new penguin leunig:
"the alliance is strong. it takes great dedication to suck and lick at the same time." (with a pic of a man licking a US military boot)
"Q. why are so many children in crisis and cracking up?
A. because we've got such a great democracy."
then it says more of those q's and a's, but i can't be bothered putting them all down, so just go read the book.

yep, everything is great, im happy. life is good, in an awesome way.

2005-11-28T20:30:00.000+11:00

well, my sisters birthday was a success, i had an awesome time, i had a roll in the grass, have any of you done that? you should, especially if its long, slightly dewy grass. enough on that story.

the last week has been cruisy, playing cards in most classes, and robbie asked anthea to the formal, so now he has one of my dates!! lol, i asked ant and taz if they wanted to go just as us girls, and they said yes, until stupid robbie came and mucked it up! so we are sharing her lol, but i dont care, i might just go alone, it'll still be awesome, mabey even more that it would be with people...

the past week has been amazing, i have made more great friends in that week than in a long time, and im loving everyone of them, they have made me extremely happy, i will never forget this year, it is going down as the best year i have had yet. too many commas, but i dont care at all, i'm too happy to care. i still dislike a lot of people, though hating is a waste of time. they aren't worrying me though, so i don't worry them. maybe :D oh well if i do. sorry to any of you?

moving on, i am planning a camping excursion with some of these wonderful friends, and i can't wait, we are also planning a beach day again, which should be god, although my bags will be well protected as i had stuff stolen from it last beach day, only cds, only 3 but still. i was lucky.

life is good, i am excited about prospects in life and of life, i can't explain everything, but it feels good, even if its a really cold day, and its wet outside. smile because should be happy.

2005-11-23T21:45:00.000+11:00

My golfing golf-club-bringer DIDN'T TURN UP TO SCHOOL, AND HIS EXCUSE WAS THAT IT WAS HIS MOTHER'S BIRTHDAY! so that was okay, and we just sat down and talked about stuff, under a tree, being "inconspicuous". fun!

We are going to the beach again tomorrow, if its nice and sunny, that will be fun, have invited many people, well... there will be 5 of us... :) anthea, tarah, robbie, derek and myself! it will be awesome, but the others are like "putting on sunscreen every 30mins this time" hehe, i am so lucky, they are only beginning to peel and i was brown the day after we got burned! :) so i am happy.

except that boys are incredibly confusing, weird and fun. lol. to tell the truth, boys as friends are often more fun than girls, especially if ur girl friends are being stupid. or annoying, and boys don't even try to understand, which is funny, if u say don't worry, they don't. i think. well, as far as i know... and yes, i'm being hypocritical as i am one of the nosiest people ever, but i dont care!
so yeah, boys are still confusing, but fun.

anyway, its my sister's birthday tomorrow, which shall be cool, but SATURDAY WILL BE EXCELLENT! as you can tell! kayaking all day! fun at night, cool as!

2005-11-21T19:26:00.000+11:00

I am so weirded out, but aside from that, today was... not very productive...

"optional work experience" is on for year 10 this week so hardly anyone is here, also, the musical full day rehearsals are on this week, today was one of them so classes were close to empty and very boring.

and therefore i am so bored its not even funny. anyone got any stories they want to tell, im all ears.. lol

2005-11-20T14:20:00.000+11:00

well, today has been good. houseworky, but pretty easy. im pretty tired. i was being very anti-social last night. had something to do with not feeling like chatting to little kids. parents, ok, little kids... annoying at the moment.
usually i like talking to kids, they are pretty funny, but on the bus they ALWAYS crowd around me, trying to feel older, stand up the back with us "big kids" ugrrh! its really annoying, especially on hot days like friday was! grr.

yeah. so. well, our foraml is on the.. 8th of december, and the night before is the premiere of the movie a group of girls from my school have beed making, its funny as!
it is about teenage girls and smoking, promoting awareness and trying to get the girls to realise what they are doing to themselves. there is a survive-her part, which is.. funny. then theres the doco part, which is pretty good, and the date from survive-her is awesome!!! the guy we got to do the part of "tommy o'lantern" is funny as! he did it so well, playing the part of the winne from survive-her's date, a modle, and it is absolutely hilarious! yeah, if anyone from my school wants to go, come see me or whatever, i dont know if you can go to the premiere, but it'll be shown at school for students i think, and we are taking it around to other schools in the region.

back to the formal, the commitee are going to do a "king, queen, princesses and princes" thing on the night, who looks the best on the night, and idk if it will work, it'll end up as a popularity contest. mabey it'll be fun to see who is really actually popular, but idk, i hope it does work, so no-one feels bad or nething.
the actual formal should be good though, pay-out awards and stuff, and the after party should be great! im actually really excited, although i have no dress, shoes or anything yet :P/:) but the dreess is being made by my sis, mum and me, and hopefuly we'll start soon.

so that is my life up to the moment...

2005-11-19T18:28:00.000+11:00

HEY ITS MY BIRTHDAY! AND I'LL CRY IF I WANT TO.

today, i worked, but my boss gave me a present!!! it is a candle, and it smells like an old talcum powder i had as a kid. rose. memories. and i got other stuff, so cool as! a yukata, which is sort of like a kimono, but cotton and for summer, but cool as! and some jewlery, and a book voucher! coolness!

and yes roca, i will weaR THAT BRA when i go on to become the stripper thats always been inside, but tucked away from public view.
not. mabey. eeeep! no!

anyway, next week should be fun, shopping with my sister, my sister's birthday, then her PARTY! wow, its going to rock! and going to the beach on one or two or so days! cool as! and... just stuff.

As usual, i am weirder than i was yesterday, and i listen to cool music.
random, but cool.
like cat stevens which is what is in my cd player right now, and just cool stuff, like janis joplin... and doc watson.. has anyone heard the song " a froggy went a courtin'"? it goes : a froggy went a courtin' on a summers day a-hum, he met miss mousy on his way a-hum..." it awesome.

and well, onto the big one.. feelings i guess. well right now, i am feeling really quite good. and mellow? idk, but yes, i wish i was perfect, of course, but things aren't as bad as they have been. in fact, they are awesome compared to some times in the past. i have never wished to die or anything like that, just wanted changes, but they are/have been/being made, so im all good on that front. i think.

life isn't always perfect, but it is good, awesome really, right now. im a happy person. was that as boring as it seems to me? probably, but oh well, its longer than any others i have done.

2005-11-18T19:23:00.000+11:00

Today, my sunburn was gone, but i could still feel it! i swear, it was so very weird!

Anthea gave me THE WEIRDEST EVER present. seriously, it had nice parts, the necklace and earings, but then, i came to the errr... i guess you could call it a bra... but it was pink sparkly hearts sewn on (in parts) to pink stretchy stuff... the bottoms were NO BETTER! lol, cracked me up, pity the teacher didn't find it so funny, well my pd teacher didnt! the relief food tech one did, but anyway...

Woooo topless sunbathing!! woop!

yeah, we went to the beach, and it was AWESOME! but my legs are painful right now. red and very painful. so very pained, full of pain etc, etc.

BUT IT WAS A TOP DAY! honestly, it was so awesome, us girls just hanging out, having fun and swimming with no tops on. nothing is more liberating. lol. weird i know. if u are scared, pretend you didnt read the above few lines, ok? cool.

yes, so today had good times, and i am proud of that. this blog is not very interesting! oh well. sad sad sad, but i am happy :)

2005-11-16T18:53:00.000+11:00

I am thinking that being called "weird, but fun" is a good thing :) because its so true.

Today i played golf for sport. and found that 2 of the people i was playing it with are really, really racist. The things they were saying about "half-caste" Aboriginal people, well basically they said that they are no good, dole-bludging, rude, theives etc, then changed their tune after i went up at them to " we only mean't some of them" Of course some of them!! some white Australians too, it was completely stupid, and probably a result of lack of education. Still bloody racist and rude!!!

Anyway, on a better note, as we are doing nothing basically at school, i am going to the beach with the girls tomorrow, should be fun! hoping that the weather goes sunny and lovely and fine overnight!

in other news, my birthday on SATURDAY!!! 16!!! WOW?! woo hoo!! cool.

so thats the news, folks.
