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.

----- talk to ya later!! -----

bridge to brissy!!

did the bridge to brisbane today!!! ong it was AWESOME! did it with our netball team. had to wake up at 5.00 (yeah, in the morning... i know right...) but it wasnt too bad. i actually felt reallyyy awake. i was racing around (in the dark might i add) getting ready coz my coach was coming to pick me up, so all i ate was a banana.

went back to their place and waited for everyone to get there then got going. we were stuck in traffic for ages obviously coz half the bridge was closed off. we finally got there and stood around for a while then joined the thousands of people waiting to get onto the bridge. we shuffled along and finally got there. it was so funny, coz there was a guy standing there with a microphone talking and next thing we know pia runs off and asks the guy to say hi to chloe so he announced her name over and everyone started cheering and she was sooo embarrassed and it was hilarioussss!!

me n drassinah promised we would stay together, because we r of the same fitness level, and we all started running up the bridge, and it was ok to start and then i felt like i was gonna die, because i knew i hadnt even done 1km yet. me n drass tried but just couldnt run up that bridge. the backs of my lower legs were burning like all fury, and drassinah said hers were too, so we started to walk. the bridge was hellish. it was by far the worst part of the 'race'. i thought i was going to collapse!! when we got to the end it was like a sigh of relief, though we were still in pain, but we knew that there wouldnt be any more hills for at least 9 and a half km. we started taking photos and just having a great time. this was where it started to get fun. we decided that running wasnt fun, it was just painful. so we walked, talked, looked at peoples costumes, and took photos of pretty much everything!

a few random people talked to us, which was cool. and we saw some pretty random and unique costumes. there was even a guy in a mankini!! (it was disgusting coz he was old haha) i think he lost a bet and had to :P. we saw this whole group of clowns and talked to them, and they had bubbles!!! YAY!! hehe

it was the best feeling just walking through streets and seeing how far we could go it was such a great feeling. we finally finished, and we dont know our times yet, they havent uploaded them onto the site yet, but i shall get back to u with that :)

anyway, we went and got our free shirts and bags, went to get some fruit n met up with everyone and went to wait for a taxi. we waited.... and waited.... aaaaannnnnnnnddddd waited.... then it finalllyyyyyy came (after we had all sucked the helium out of our balloons and were laughing at eachothers high pitched voices) and got in. pia... being pia... started singing 'the wheels on the maxi taxi go round and round etc etc' then started saying random things all in that tune. we could not stop laughing. it was the besttttttt day ever.

excepttt that now i am so tired and my legs feel like they r gonna drop off and i have pulled a muscle behind my knee (and it has been hours since i finished). i so dont wanna go to school tomorrow :(

anyway, if u live in brisbane, i DEFINITELY recommend doing it next year! but make sure u take it cruisy if u arent too keen on running, dont try to push urself coz then it isnt fun. oh and make sure u bring a friend OBVIOUSLY.

cyas later!! (by the way the pic is of me n drass somewhere on the gateway bridge haha)

~la~la~la~la~

haha as u can see ive given up trying to think of titles. :P

went to the ekka last week! it was great. i went on this ride that like flipped me upside down and around and yeah it was fun haha. i had a 5 day weekend after that! it was great. coz we had wed and thurs off, then i didnt go to school fri, then there was saturday and sunday. how awesomee. i went up to rochedale primary with jack for the day to help out with a junior sports day sausage sizzle. omg all i ate that day was bread haha. we had to set out the bread on napkins in piles, but we didnt use the end bits, so we just ate some of them when we felt like it. it was a fun day. me n jack get along well. he found this cardboard cylinder thing, and ripped it so it was like a spiral, then he put it on his arm and he started going on abou tho he was a power ranger and his awesome skills, and i couldnt stop laughing. we talked heaps, and all these teahcers r like :O r u wagging school. in a joking kinda way, coz we know them all. but it was awkward seeing teachers i used to have.

saturday : WE WON NETBALL! its a miracle! we had the whole team there, and we won! 29- 26. it was so exciting for us all. we were cheering n everything hahaha. how sad. not that we care when we lose, we r just used to it. anyway just wanted to mention that we dont always lose... :)

had a maths test on... monday. it was pretty easy, and we got our results back today. i got 16/17 for knowledge, and then i got 4 1/2 / 11 for modelling and problem solving. so thats A+ for Knowledge, D+ for modelling, and i think i hav a C overall. oh and a B+ for communication. im pretty happy with that. seeing as i used to be known for being pretty much shit at maths in primary school. id pass, but only just haha. and it took me agessss to learn my multiplication. i think i was more focused on english. and speaking of that, we did our oral on tuesday. me n dishmini. we had to do a comedy and make ourselves superheroes. just any random superhero. i was countess pencil: powers - i can accurately and lethally sharpen pencils in 2.375 seconds and i have awesome fighting skills. dishmini was notepad-a-tron: powers - lines on her notepad paper would shoot out and tie people up etc. and she can read minds. everyone said it was really good. so im happy with that one too. lanas was funnyyyy. she was lana lightning and dilinjan was rolls (he dressed up all fat with pillows etc) it was really good. some were really lame tho.

lately ive gotten back into editing photos. ive found some from last year and ive been editing them. its fun. i like changing it around and making them more interesting. the photo up the top of this post is one i did yesterday. i like the whole dots thing, it reminds me of stuff u see on shirts. :)

well i think im gonna go now. should probably start trying to memorise the periodic table. yuk

you are my sun, my moon, my stars, my everything

woah its been a while since i was on here, and so much has happened! ok, well, me n michael r going out now :-D i am so happy about it. I made a huge mistake when i ended it last time. I think i just freaked coz i'd never done anything like this before. oh well that doesnt matter now.

It's like when he's around me, he's a breath of fresh air. He makes me feel special (not in a retarded way :-P ) and I never want to let go of the feeling. When he hugs me, or holds me in his arms its like all the weight of the world disappears and I just feel so light and free and happy. this sounds way too soppy for it to be me saying it, but its true.

our 1 month in 16 days! not counting today or the 22nd ... 22.07.09 he asked me. its only one month, but its still better than what, less than a week like last time haha.

he sits with us in the mornings, and sometimes at lunch... which is getting less now. sure it makes me depressed when he doesnt come, but i dont want him not to see his friends. coz it could end out that he never sees them, and isnt as close as he was with them, maybe too much so. (if that makes sense...) all my friends are going on about how he should always sit with me, or i should sit with him, but as much as i want to, it would be soooooo weird. they r all 2 years older than me, one is my friends sister, one's another one of another friend's brothers, and there's dion aswell. I would feel so out of place, and have absolutely no clue what to do or say. it sucks. but its ok, at least he spends some time with me.

ive gotta go do some homework now. ill try to update this a bit more often. cya laterrr.
