good times :)

holidays are the best dont u reckon?? no pressure of school, no having to wake up in the morning with the pressure of having to get to the bus and to school, no homework to be thought about, free to just relax. yesterday all i did was read my book, yep, the entireeee day! i pretty much started it (hadnt long started) and finished it. i had to clean my room but that didnt take long, i just read and listened to music. in the afternoon i downloaded some more music, because after u listen to the same songs for a while u want new ones, and there are a few i have been meaning to get. today mum n dad are out and my sisters just got back from the park with friends so mum told me to go for a walk down to the shops and get out a DVD that i could watch, just so long as i ironed so there are clothes ready to be packed to go away, so, i did. the movie finished and i have been listening to my music. completelyyyy stress free so far.

but i dont want to hav e to start packing for camping. i love camping and everything, but i hate the before and after. setting up sucks, packing all the stuff before hand is possibly even worse, then packing up at the end of the week is just as depressing. all the in between stuff is the best tho, so i guess its all worth it in the end, yeah?

but before all that, tomorrow the relaxion is over, and we r going to wet n wild!! yayyyyy! my parents got us those pass things that get u into seaworld wet n wild or movie world, which is awesome because the weather atm is so hot and to be able to go to wet n wild is gonna be gr8. thats y i love summer. even tho its spring it feels like summer. the hot weather is great. im able to walk around in my shorts and singlets again and im gonna start straightening my hair a bit more if i can because its a lot cooler because it seems lighter straightened.

now im just dreading the going bck to school. i mean, i have maths first day back!! how unfair is that! it irks me just thinking of it :S

anyway ill talk to ya later!!

P.S yeah, i made the picture up the top ;)

where would u like to be right now??

i was thinking alot about the scenery up when we were camping. its beautiful up there, and i was thinking how everyone in there imagination must have a place where the scenery is to their personal taste, whether its in the snow, in the country, at the beach, in the city, or even out in space (afterall, its imagination isnt it) and then i thought, 'whats my scenery?' -------------





beautiful clear blue skies, that just goes on forever. the countryside type of atmosphere, no technology, no city smells like smoke etc. no sound of cars, or trucks or planes etc., just the beautiful sounds of birds that you can just listen to and forget yourself, and completely let go. green grass covering hills that roll on into the distance, and trees, but not so many that there are sticks all over the ground or makes it look like a forest. the ground completely trubulence free of rocks and sticks. the hills not too steep, but towering mountains in the background, just to give a sense of adventure and imagination of climbing up them. the hills just perfect to be able to run around on, up and down, just a single soul, not needing anyone, just a free spirit, alone and loving it. after running, being able to just flop onto the eautiful crisp green grass below and watch the skies. close my eyes and listen to those birds and feels the cool breeze on my face as a relief from the sun. just able to lie there, a single soul, not needing anyone, but loving it. if there were people who i was able to share it with, we would have the best time there ever could be. we would run around on the hills, and then lie in a circle and talk, or look up at whispy white clouds above and try to make out animals or objects, and laugh. then, just lie in silence with the cool breeze and the sounds of birds. a creek, also, would be nearby, the hypnotising sounds of its water flowing could relax anyone. the cool, clear water with rocks that are able to be climbed across. the creek floor would be pebbles of all colours and sizes, and stones capable of skipping.




yeah. thats my dream place. my getaway.

Jelly went camping!!

well - first let me explain jelly. jelly = the combination of the two names Jess and Lucy. (me and my friend). explanation over :) yeah, we r a bit well... crazy to put it simply hehe.

anywayss. went to her house friday night (the official beginning of the holidays YAY) and we watched she's the man (one of the best movies ever) and some episodes of Big Bang theory (hahahaha) and Lucy straightened my hair! she did a really good job. i love it straightened. we were taking photos and laughing and trying not to burn me :P. we ended up geting to bed around 10 coz her dad told us to sleep coz we had to wake up early in the morning. which we did -well for me anyway, who on a weekend/holiday usually wakes up 9am or later, never before - we got up at around 6.30am. ate breakfast (coco pops haha) and walked around helping lucy's parents pack.

then we left and in the car lucy's dad had a minor panic attack thinking he'd left the keys to unlock the campertrailer at home, but he eventually found them. her parents taste in music isnt great... me n lucy had to resort to listening to her ipod the whole way there, and to save power turning it off when we herad a song that we didnt mind (a rare case, but it happened) because up at big riggen, which was where we were going there was no power except in the bathrooms, but we hadnt brought chargers and even if we had i doubt we wouldve sat in the bathroom for half an hour or more waiting for her ipod to charge (tho later on we wished we could with our cameras coz they ran out of battery). two hours later after eventually passing where we were actually meant to be going then turning around and finding it, we arrived. we found our spot and set up. me n luy went for a walk down to the lake that veered off into a creek. its really nice there, and we took lots of photos of it later on. when we were all set up, which didnt take long, Jelly set out for a walk around the camp site, with, of course, my camera at the ready, whenever we saw somewere that looked like it would make a nice photo we would take one (hence the reason for the dead cameras :P) i think, over the two days, i ended up with about 120 photos combined (phone & camera because whn my camera died i used the phone as backup) and eventually lucy's camera died aswell, so we used them well.

we went for a few drives around the area, looking at other camp sites, and a really nice one was barney view lodge. had a creek and everything. fires are allowed etc. we got ice creams on the way back in, and wen we reached our camp, lucy's dad suggested we played frisbee, so, Jelly played, with skill im sure has never been seen before, frisbee. it was quite a sight. two teenage girls running around after a flying disk while in such immense laughing hysterics it was a wonder we were still standing. i just wish we had it on camera... couldve gotten heapsss of hits on youtube with our amazing skills. oh well. :)

we ended up, over the two days, spending alot of our time down at the lake. i found this boulder that was shaped perfectly as a seat, and just over the hill it was on, in the water it looked like someone had formed a mini pool in the middle of the river with rocks shaped like a heart, so, being the adventurous person i am, went to walk across and sit on one of the rocks, and i was in denim shorts, so i was hoping like hell i didnt fall in. and amazingly i didnt, because i am known to be clumsy. maybe its wearing off... hahahahahaha. i eventually coaxed lucy to come out aswell and we sat in the heart of rocks for a while, then decided to go back. we came bacjt he next day and found a trail up that way on the land. a tree scratched my arm which feels like its sunburnt, but its just the scratches. off to the right (the boulder and the heart of rocks was on the left) side of the lake was bush which we walked through for a while (again, some pretty good photo opps)

then on the way home the next day the ipod had to be postponed because th battery was running low, so to block out the music, we played battle ships (for the fourth time that weekend, lucy was persistant that she would beat me, i had already won 3 times the previous day haha) and she did end up winning, so we decided we had to take a photo of the moment. then if was out with the ipod again, and an hour later i was home, and my tiredness had cought up to me. i was absolutely buggered.

so today literally, all i have done is clean my room which took me half an hour and the rest of the day i have been reading and finished my book. now i need to find a book to take camping next week, coz i was planning on taking that one!! haha.

i will talk soonish.

have a good holiday!!

great weekend

well it all started on friday night, when i went ot laser force with some friends outside school. it was so much fun! we were all laughing our heads off when we got shot. and the suit thingo u wear would like talk to you and give away where u were hiding which was annoying. when u get shot, ur out for 10 seconds, then ur 'phaser' turns back on. so it was hilarious when someone would stand there waiting for u to turn back on so they could shoot you, and someone came up behind them and shot them, then u turn back on and u can shoot the person who shot them (if that makes sense haha) then we'd come out, load up on lollies pizza and pretty much junk, then have loads of energy for our next 'mission' (which is what they call them).
i got home at around 11.00pm.

then i had to wake up in the morning because we were going to southbank for riverfire(picture is of city @ night) !!!! i LOVE riverfire. its so fun. our family goes every year, usually with friends. this year we went with jacks family. we went around fro a walk because we had like 5 hours till the fireworks. me n jack ended up going around on our own, just having a look around and talking. then we went back to where we were sitting and we just lay there for a while listening to music, then the parents and siblings came back. i seriously felt like i was burning so badly, but i had actually put sunscreen on, so i didnt actually burn!! i was wearing short board shorts and a shirt, and my hair was really curly coz id washed it that morning, so i wore it down, but it got really hot and put it up. at one stage when i was lying down, this one guy walked past and i had my sunnies on and everything. and he winked at me!! i was like ohmygod, awkward! i looked over at jack to see if he saw him, but he didnt, and i just started laughing, and he was like ok then?? there were some really good looking guys there tho! and of course coz it was hot, they were walking around with no shirts and they had abs. i was like jackkk r u looking at girls in bikinis?? he was like no of course not... and then he was like r u looking at tanned guys with no shirts?? so i said of course not... and we just started laughing. while we were waiting for the fireworks, i had brought these like head bopper things with smiley faces on it, and it flashed, and jack had brought a jester hat with bells and flashing lights on it that he had gotten @ rochedale fete and my sister had this punk wig that was blue and white and we kept mixing and matching them all and tking photos. it was so funny, i was wearing the wig and the smiley face thing, then jack wore the wig and made it like the hairstyle that guys have how they out the hair in front of their eyes and we were taking the mickey out of the guys who had that hairstyle like we'd take it in turns at swapping the wig and we'd do the little flicky thing that those people do, but making it look more like a twitch. we were in stitches laughing.
the fireworks were the best tho. it was amazingggg. i kept singing along to the songs and i was recording all the fireworks on camera. me n jack kept yelling out the colours and were yelling out which colours we wanted. he would yell out pink (lol) and i would yell out red and yellow. then wen the ones that shimmered came out, i was like SHINYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!! and everyone was laughing at me. this is the last year they will do the dump and burn with the F111s and they were just as awesome as usual. the finale of the fireworks was absolutely amazinggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg it was like allllllllllll the fireworks they owned were just let out all at once and just exploded in a sea of colour. absolutely awesome. then afterwards we walked around then back to the car, and home. jacks family came back to our place for a coffee and we watched the footy.


then today we went out to see our friends that we havent seen in ages. we've known them since i was in preschool or before. me n curtis used to be best friends, but now we rnt that close, but me n his brother are pretty good friends. we kicked around a soccerball around for while then just went to sit talk and eat the lunch his mum made.it was fun. we did alot, but it was pretty much just the same thing. me n chris kicking around a soccerball, sitting outside and talking, watching a movie with caitlin, chris and the sisters, and eating lunch.

so this weekend was lots of fun!! but let the school week begin, along with the........... EXAMS! ugh yuk. its ok, LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL THEN THE HOLIDAYS!! i am sleeping over at lucy's house friday night then camping with them saturday - sunday. then in the second week we r going camping with the usual group of families we go with. its gonna be awesome.
