The end

Hey, I apologize for the last few days and not blogging but I don't think I will blog anymore. I feel that I've changed and just broke up with my boyfriend; who was my greatest friend and now I can't face him because it hurts too much...
Changing yourself is a hard thing to do when it affects a lot of other people. What I am going to change about me, is me, and that is going to affect everyone I know and hurt them. I don't want to but it's what I feel I have to do. (Sometimes you just have to go with it and don't question it and don't let anyone stop you.)

So I think this will be my last post. If you don't want it to be please let me know and I will continue but otherwise thanks for an awesome 14 months of blogging and for you putting up with me (I'm not the easiest to put up with at times). I'm not a great speller or great with grammar so thanks for putting up with that. Thanks to my friend who did my blog when I couldn't. Thanks to you for reading. Thanks to me for posting.
Just thank you to everyone who read, wrote of commented on my blogs.
Who knows, one day I might just randomly start again? If I do I hope you guys don't forget me.

Cheers!
From, The Teenage Girl

Fun facts about me: favourite number is 5. Lucky number is 15. I play soccer. Am in college. Just turned 16. Am single. Love and hate school. Not great at many things but I try.
Thanks again, possibly hear from me in the near future!

Work comes earlier

Sorry about there being nothing yesterday, I had a bit to do.
I know it's the first week back but it's actually week 2. I already have assignments and homework and its only the second day. The term has been moved forwards due to assessment at the end of term and the early holidays. Means more work at one time and not very much time to do it. You could start freaking out (like I am at the moment and stressing over the load) or start working and try not to think about them and just do them. Whatever you choose just don't freak out and don't do it.
Hope this term is a good one for all of you.

Back to school

Last day of holidays. The day to sleep in, last day to laze around and do nothing, to rush that homework you we meant to do and maybe try and forget that assignment? Tell yourself to have an early night but still go to bed late? Tell yourself to do all this stuff that you're going to do in the new term and still never do? The last day of the holidays is one of drama.
Don't forget to pack your school bag. And dig out that school work you hid somewhere in your room.
Have a good first day back.

ANZAC Day

April 25th, 2014

ANZAC Day, the day where we commemorate the soldiers who fought for us in Gallipoli. In Canberra we have ANZAC Parade. Every ANZAC Day the a big march and the full ceremony - you'd probably have something at school. I went along today - not knowing there was ever anything on... - and had a good time. Listened to speeches, watched the march, stood right underneath the fly by of 3 jets flying very low and Prince William and Kate where there! (It's not everyday you get to see the royals with your own eyes and come within 20 meters of them.)

"Lest We Forget"

You never know

You never know what you'll see, happen or run into when you're out and about. I ran into my friend at the mall today and went shopping with her instead of alone. Hadn't seen her since school ended so it was a nice surprise. Got to catch up and chat. She kept me company while I went job hunting again. This time, please? Hoping for the best on that.
If you still want to hang out with friends before you go back to school you still have a few days. Go out and do something, anything.

Bowling

Sorry about yesterday and no post.
The school holidays mean you can hang out with friends outside of school! I mean that's great isn't it? And the best part is you can actually have fun when you're hanging out, cause school kills fun, you agree right? So I caught up with some friends today, more sorta like a double date but it was hanging out more the less. We went bowling, it's great fun. Winning, nah, all for fun. But when girls beat the guys I say well done, maybe just a hint of luck and they might have let us win... But bowling was great fun and hanging out, talking afterwards was great too.
So an idea for your holidays, go bowling with some friends. It's a good laugh, cause in all honesty, who can bowl???

Happy Easter

First things first, Happy Easter! Did the Easter Bunny come this year for you? Course he did, if you got chocolate then he visited you? Asking yourself why I'm talking about the Easter Bunny when I'm 16? Because I believe. It's not hard and it doesn't hurt and it's all part of the fun. You wake up and if you have siblings and parents you have to wait for them to get up or you could wake them up so you can go on your Easter egg hunt sooner. (Means you get chocolate faster and earlier. I wouldn't agree with that.)
What was the highlight of your day? (That does not have the word chocolate in it...) Haha.
Don't eat all your eggs at once, you'll get sick.

Sweet 16

Sorry for the last few days. I didn't think you wanted to hear about having a slight tummy bug or read a post I'd have to write in my sleep cause I stayed up for almost 48 hours.... Anyway you can hear about today, it's my birthday.
So I'm now 16. 'Sweet 16' is what it seems to be called. And that's because you become legal but that's not important. My day was pretty slack. Got presents a breakfast, went for a drink with my dad and then watched movies. I would've like to have seen a few friends but I still was feeling great from the other days...
Now you always have some special dinner or lunch and then cake afterwards, yep. But I changed the idea of having a cake this year to muffins or cupcakes. The were yummy and there was ice cream too but after a big meal it's all filling.
Hope you guys had a great day too.

Marvel movies

So I'll admit I'm getting a tad sloppy with these posts but some days will kill you cause they're that boring and others I just don't have anything to write about. It may be a post every 2 days if this keeps happening. I will try to prevent that.

If you want to go see a great movie like I did today, watch the "Avengers" collection you could call it made by Marvel. They're great. My friends love them. My family loves them. I love them. It's basically superheros saving threats from out of space and mechanically made drones I guess. They are jam packed with action and have some great fighting scenes if you're into that kind of stuff.
Hope you guys watch them. They're great.

Couch potato

Hey! I'm not dead, still alive, just. I'm just kidding, you can excuse my horrible humour. Sorry there's been no posts the last few days but I didn't want you to die reading about how boring and alike my days were, cause I almost died from how boring my days were...
Anyway enough with my bad humour and onto today's post. I've now been cooped up inside for 3 days straight. Talk about someone being a couch potato, I'd fit that perfectly, not leaving my bed of the couch... Well I did catch 2 buses today but still spent the day on the couch so I don't think that counts for anything.
Anyway if you're gonna be like me these holidays and do absolutely nothing like lie in bed or on he couch, make sure you have food and a stack of movies. Nothings better than lazying around watching movies all day...and all night if you want.

Schools out, party time!

I don't expect you all to remember a post from back in June last year but it was about going to a dance. Tonight was the same thing, but with a different theme. I thought it was actually more fun than last years dance. I laughed a lot more, dance a lot more - and by dance I mean looks silly moving around and jumping - and just got into it. Yes there were slow dances and they were romantic. (Just going to make it clear, dancing with my boyfriends younger sister wasn't romantic...but it was funny. Dancing with my boyfriend was romantic.)
Also went out to dinner before hand for my dads birthday dinner.
All in all I had an awesome night thanks to multiple people. ^_^

Tip: Don't eat a big yummy dinner and then dance for 3 hours, you feel sick and get a stitch...

Shopping with friends

I few events coming up in the next 2 weeks and wanted some new clothes; a dress to be exact. See I don't wear dresses so at the moment I'm thinking I'm crazy. Also the days here in Canberra aren't getting much warmer than a top of 20 degrees so wanting to wear a dress at this time of the year I must be crazy.
I went out with some friends to go shopping, which is always more fun than going shopping with family - in my opinion. They were very helpful too. (Always get someone else's opinion on something other than a family opinion because you don't always believe what people family says. Friends can make some great decisions too.)
Go shopping with friends. Yes, I am telling you to go shopping, and buy something you want that your parents may not allow you to have or like. Do something for yourself. You time.

Going out after school

I'm not allowed out after school and today as my parents were out of town I went out. I'm not the sweet innocent child most people see when they meet me. Going out after school sometimes is what you need. I don't go out much, mainly live in my room. This afternoon was great. It was peaceful. I didn't get home till late and ended up walking home in the dark. Although that was extremely an unsafe thing for a 15 year old girl to do alone, I took the risk so I got home at a reasonable hour.
Take an afternoon off one day and use that time for yourself. Not school. Not family. Just yourself or quietly with someone else.

Questacon

A new plan for the weekend has been put in place for my family so we do more activities as a family. Today we visited Questacon, Canberra's National Science and Technology Centre. It's always a place where you have fun and it's iterative learning too! Although by the time you're a teenager or an adult you know most of the things there but you never know, there might be something you don't know. Even big kids can have fun! The age limit, there is none. There's always something for every age and every mood.
Tip: Don't make a bet that someone won't do the 360 swing and say you'll go on the free-fall if you lose...
That was the bet I had going with my dad, I lost big time...

The Lion King

I'm sure you've all at least heard of the 'Lion King' and this is song the 'Circle of Life'. This has popped up on Facebook a few times and I love it, I can't stop listening to it. I personally think this is better than the original.
Out of all the airplanes I've ever caught in my life this has never happened on an airplane I've been on... I think I've been on the wrong flight too many times because having the cast of the Lion King on the plane and a free live performance seems like the best flight to be on. Wouldn't you agree?
Hope you enjoy the clip.

Half dead

My boyfriend is a bit if a dare devil and today decided to play the meanest prank on me. He likes to climb things and tricked me into thinking that he fell off a very high building of some form. It wasn't a very nice prank and did make me terribly upset...
One thing you need to know is when you take something too far... The prank my boyfriend pulled on me was too far.
Don't pull a prank you'll regret or one that isn't funny. It's nice to prank sometime occasionally but don't ever take one too far. A small laugh is nice but not a mild heart attack.

Not just about you...

Sorry again for there being nothing but I am struggling to find stuff to blog about these days... I am open for suggestions if anyone wants to hear about something?

This is probably not something nice to blog about today but getting on the bus home today was rather annoying yet so funny to watch. As everyone should know waiting at the bus stop sucks, especially when your bus runs super late... When you get on the bus and a member of the public is having an argument with the bus driver over nothing really. Then they call the bus company and report the driver and they come out and the cops almost do too... It was a waste of time over nothing. This person wasted 10 minutes of not only their time but the bus drivers and everyone else's who was on the bus listening to them carry on.
Think of other people and what your actions might have on them. Nothing is always about you...

Extended

When you do the wrong thing like me and try to sneak out and get caught, don't do another thing wring because being grounded in my case got extended. I went from being grounded for just the weekend to  having another 3 days because I got caught using a phone when I wasn't allowed... It sucks.
I guess what you should take away from this don't do the wrong thing because you don't get anything out of it.
But answer me this, if something is worth it to you; would you do it anyway? No matter how much trouble you'd get in? If it is and you don't because you're scared of getting in trouble, what does that say? You're logical or it wasn't worth it....?

Backfired plan with a back up plan

28 & 29, March 2014

Sorry there wasn't a post for Friday or Saturday but they are a combined post. To make it up to you I'll do one for then now ad another for today afterwards. sorry again for being slack and not doing them...

So my plan for Friday night was to sneak out and see my boyfriend, that backfired big time when I got busted... So instead of going anywhere I got grounded and stuck to my room. My plan didn't work but I wasn't told about the new plan. A tap on your window at night might just be tree or something if you have one right outside, but when the tapping continues the last thing you'd expect it to be is a person. So much for being grounded, I spent the night night outside..

A visit from someone you really wanted to see and spending the entire night with them makes your day or in my case morning. 

Just a tip for anyone who's going to spend the night outside, make sure you wear warm clothing and not just get out of bed in PJs... It really doesn't keep you warm at night, even if you're cuddling up with someone to keep warm. (Just keep it in mind.)

Getting a boyfriend

Terribly sorry yet again for not doing any posts the past few days but I have something good today!
Being asked out by a guy and can turn your world upside up! Haha. So yeah, you could say I'm confusing when it comes to guys. Hence my new boyfriend was my unofficial boyfriend who sort of became my unofficial ex who today became my official boyfriend. But with him being my biggest crush and a great friend (who was in fact the friend of mine who wrote my posts for me while I was away).
So my day was great and one I won't forget. But a tip for any guys, if you're gonna ask a girl out, don't tell her you're going to and then make her wait all day...

How?

So I'm in a really bad habit of not doing blog post at the moment and I'm really sorry about that.
I've got boy drama, family drama, schools getting to me and I'm just a pretty big mess. I'm figuring it out and not thinking about it much which isn't doing my for me... School work, I just need to say I can do it, do it, and get it out of the way. Family drama is more just messing with my head so that's pretty easy to work out. Boy drama, so lost it's way beyond complicated... it's a maze, I've tried drawing diagrams to try and make some sense of it but I get lost.
Who knows how to work out boy drama where you like someone and they like someone else and sorta you but the other person really likes someone all together and then everyone else get involved?! My question may not be clear after that... How do you work it out?

Happiest mood

Sorry there was no post yesterday.

One small thing can change the way your day goes. Today it was something said and I had the best day ever! You know when you're happy when you have a smile on your face and can't stop smiling because you remember what made you smile like that in the first place. I wasn't just what someone said either, I also did something myself that made me happy.
Smiling and laughing will cure anything. Don't believe it? Try it.

Hope

Last Wednesday I lost the most important thing to me; a very special guy. Letting go is hard but it should get easier after some time...I don't believe that because it's just getting harder for me. Being such close friends doesn't help and the fact I still have all my feelings for him and we still flirt; it's just not getting easier. I was just starting to become my old self when I remembered yesterday that today was one week... It's always in the back of my mind that things will never be the way they were but I can hope. Hope seems to be all I can do right now.


Do you believe this is true?

Cancelled

In college your calls can get cancelled! Today I had my fist cancelled class and that meant I could go home early. I did however miss the bus so I couldn't actually go home early by I did just get to sit around doing nothing. Would've been better with company but either way I finished early and hot the experience of having a class cancelled! It's not actually as cool as it sounds but it's fun.

Acting

I'm not entirely sure what I'm writing about these days... I'm lost. 

I'm a horrible actor. Right now everything I do or feel is an act and apparently I seem to be doing well at acting. I can't hid it at times but when you act like nothing is wrong it seems to be fairly easy. It may not be easy around certain people but it might. The worst part about acting is that it feels natural and you start to start pretending at all times. 

Acting is both good and bad. You just first have to know when to act and how to act. 

Reflection

I have had pretty much the worst week not including Monday morning. Monday morning was the best and come lunch time Monday right up to this point on Friday night, it's been the worst. Come Wednesday I started getting depression - a slight case of it, that doesn't seem to be improving...
Reflecting back on something may be the worst thing to do. (I know it is for me right now.) But when things seem to go downhill you look back on the past. It brings back both happy and sad memories and they can sometimes help you to feel better.
What do you see looking in the mirror?

...what to do now?

13th, March, 2014

Sorry about there being no blog yesterday... I didn't have the best day, actually I probably had the worst day of my life. I guess you could say I went though a break up but we were never actually dating so call it what you want, tell me if you will because I don't know. He was pretty important to me and was the only thing that could make me happy and this sounds cheesy but made my heart smile; it was always like a sunny day around him. We're still friends. I think we both find it awkward at times - I know I do. I still have all my feelings for him, I'm not sure about him.
I'm pretty lost right now. Fairly upset but finding it really easy to put on a happy act. You could say in a way I'm a little depressed, not eating, not sleeping (a tiny amount of sleep), feel down and pathetic I guess. So maybe a little more than a 'little' depressed but what am I to do now? I don't know what to do, not even the slightest clue! Stay friends sure. Act happy all the time, faking it? I don't think so...
I need help from you guys. I like doing everything alone, getting through hard times but I've never experienced this before. I don't want to experience it again. I don't know what to do right now, so I'm asking you for help.
What have you done in this sort of situation???

Emotionally unstable

No teenager is stable when it comes to emotions. The one thing I am clearly not is emotionally stable, I am the opposite. Out of no where you can mood swings or by one single thought your mood changes. Today I had a lot on my mind and it was all connected to the same topic. That made me sad and upset but I don't stay upset, I turned it all to anger and wasn't the best person or me. I ignored my friends, kept to myself and barely spoke to anyone.
If you have had a day like mine today an you know you are emotionally unstable, don't take it out on others but don't ignore them either. Just ask to be left alone because by ignoring them or taking it out on them and hurt someone more than you could ever imagine.

Canberra Day

Again today was Canberra Day. This morning I got up like last year but instead of going with family I went with a friend. They made the morning special and very different to last year. So the balloons were better last year but nothing is ever the same 2 years in a row. The whole morning was great - I did need to rest a lot because walking around for 5 hours after getting up at 5 a.m. you tend to not have a lot of energy.
If only every day could be a public holiday and every morning could be as special as this was... Maybe they'll be a next time.

Have a good trip

So now I've gotten into this habit of do a day, miss a day, do a day, miss a day... Sorry, it's a pretty bad habit... I have nothing to write about so I think I can do it the next day you see and end up forgetting and not doing it... (Bad me..)
I did do something today though! So my dads girlfriend is off to the States for the next 2 weeks. For her last day we took her morning tea. Just a small farewell thing with family. It's a work thing but she is going to Canada for the weekend so she gets a holiday. I hope she enjoys it!


 Film     08-03-2014

So today may have been the happiest day of my life. This is probably really old fashioned but, I have a film camera and I needed some film for it...and a new battery. I got both! I just need to clean the camera now. Film photography is my favourite hobby. (That comes under the hobby of photography but film is better than digital.) There aren't many camera shops around these days that sell film or film cameras, they've gone out of fashion a bit...thanks to technology...... I'm not saying technology is bad..but I am in a way.
Doing things the old fashioned way is sometimes better than the new modern way. In the older days people had fun doing things. I guess you still do, but it's a different kind..

Fun on the street

It's the end of the week, Friday. Instead of doing your homework and assignments you just want to hang out with friends; because that's what Friday nights is stereotyped as; part night. I guess Saturday is that too... If you can't go out on a Friday night and you have friends in the street, going out and playing in the street is good enough I guess. Make do with what you have around you. Anything cam be gold if you believe it's good enough.

Smart thinking...

So you may not have noticed by now, I'm not smartest person in the world or have the smartest friends. Today that is extremely correct because I got injured badly and that was technically my fault. I stood on a flying fox and ended up almost doing a 360 (I'm kidding, I just found the wire of the flying fox). I got injured but it was funny, amazed at how I stayed standing and didn't fall is something I will never know.
Don't be like me and do stupid things. But you probably will, most teenagers do.

Your greatest desire

Everyone desires something in their life. My greatest desire is to sneak out of home one night. That sounds really bad, yes because I'd actually had to break in and out. But I love the night and it is the only time I can think. It seems to set my mind free, staring up at the night sky. I do have other desires but nothing even comes close to just being free for one night.
What is your greatest desire?

Literally nothing

Sorry there was not post yesterday guys... My days are about the same now, work on this essay or that assignment and study. How great does that sound?... But now I've done 2 of 3 essays and tomorrow should have the third one almost done, then there will be more exciting things to read about. You must be getting tired of me complaining about school work...so moving on! I actually don't have anything to blog about today...which is sad because that means I had a rather boring day, of doing nothing... 

But I will say Happy Birthday to a friend of mine, now she's 16! ...and I'm still fifteen...haha. 

(I don't have the best sense of humor, thanks for putting up with it.)

Snapchat

Who has heard of snapchat? For those who haven't or don't know what it is you basically take a photo of anything and have the option of putting a caption with it. It is the same as talking but with a photo. Yes, I must say, it is pointless. You can talk more and have an actual conversation on any other talking related app. But it is nice to see someone when you talk, I'll admit that. I have come to the conclusion that snapchat is for someone to see another person while they talk and that there is no point in it what so ever. It is however a great way to get a laugh while talking to someone.
Have you got snapchat? If so, what do you think of it and what is it's purpose in your opinion?

This year guys I'm aiming for more feedback! So please feel free to share with your friends and comment bellow! Also enjoy the new season of autumn.

ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!

So today by the title of today's post you can probably guess that today marks 1 year! So in the past year I have done 336 posts. Out of all the days in the year I missed about 1 month - so technically only been blogging for 11 months. In the past year I've had 4,930 views! So many countries that would put you to sleep if I listed them! I don't know how you guys found it because I simply started out by posting it on Facebook for my friends to see and this blog was just meant to be some english assignment early last year, but thanks to you it's ways more than some assignment. I love writing even when I really am not in the mood. I'm sorry I rant at times, miss days, have really boring posts some days and I'm thankful you actually put up with my horrible spelling a grammar! If you don't notice my spelling or grammar mistakes please don't go searching for them, I'm not the most intelligent person and those two things are my worst nightmare.
Thanks for a great year or 11 months (haha) and I look forward to another one!
Cheers!!! ^_^

Dictionaries

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that you don't use a dictionary very often and hate looking up the meanings of words. Correct? I know I hate it but now there are ways online so looking words is fifty times easier but looking things up...I do not like that. I don't know the meanings of many words but if used the right way I do understand. 

Now getting to my point of today's post, I take psychology at school and it's basically understanding the human mind and why we are the way we are. I took a stroll around the library's bookshelves and found a 'dream dictionary'. (Please don't be asleep, I do not mean to tell you about my boring school life and the meaning of words...) I'm fairly sure you dream of multiple things at night, not every night but some nights. I looked up what I dream about and it's rather interesting to know what the meaning of a certain thing in your dream can mean in real life. You subconsciously bring emotions and real life into your dream that are hidden within an aspect of your dream. 

If you can go out and find a dream dictionary it's fascinating to know what your subconscious does will you sleep... 

Sorry for my boring life story in the beginning. But I have to tell you some things about my life. (Hehe) 

1 down 2 to go

So I have a few assignments and essays but tonight I got one finished! I shouldn't be too excited about that as I have more to do but I really didn't like it and now that I don't have to think about it anymore! You could say no one likes any form of assignment but depending on the topic it can either make it better or worse. (In my case, worse.)
Try not to hate an assignment of any kind on its topic, it will also make things worse, unless you truly love it, but even having to write about something you like us hard.

Skate-park

I'm pretty sure you know what a skate-park is. It's the place most teenagers go to hang out and ride skateboards or bikes and do fancy tricks. Now I can't do any tricks and had never been to a skate-park until this morning. I learnt you need a bike or skateboard to have fun, just a friend and the skate-park. Now walking up and down the ramps is fun but the bowl is pretty cool. It's nice and deep and steep. The ramp down - I guess you could call it that - is like a slide. That is exactly what I used it for! I slid down with my friend and sat down there. The best part is running back up though. How else do you get out?
Don't just think you can't go somewhere because you can't use it for it's proper purpose.

Everyone is an individual

I'm not going to to write today. I found this on Facebook and found it very important. Please what all the way to the end because this what happens in real life. Not all the time but sometimes. Just don't bully, everyone is an individual. 

Road Ready

This may sound like the worst possible way to spend ones weekend but I actually learnt more in the 10 hours I spent doing road ready course than I did all week at school. Don't sound too shocked but yes I find that slightly shocking yet surprising. I am grateful I learnt so much though, it means I'll be a safer driver, hopefully. I could've done this course at school but I didn't want to drive and still don't. If you're wondering why I'm even bothering is because it's better to know how in-case I do need to drive someday.
Road ready was actually fun in a way, was terrifying watching and hearing a few things but you do in fact need to know about them for when you do drive. I recommend you do it even if you're like me and don't want to drive. For me it was 10 hours of my weekend, 5 hours of each day but it was worth it. (I'll tell you how my test goes so you know if I can drive or not in roughly 2 weeks.)

Falls to someone

Sorry there was nothing yesterday and I'm going to blame the homework. 

When you get mad about something you don't want to blame yourself so you blame it one somebody else. I won't lie, I have done it and yes I have done it more than once. I have wanted to blame someone for the reason I've been upset but you can't when you yourself are the main reason and when multiple people are involved. Small things like a fight for example you might start it but don't want to get in trouble so you blame the other person. (Don't do that.) Another example is where you're with someone and get in trouble but can't blame one person or the other because you're both at fault. There are many examples I could write about but you get the idea. If you did something don't blame anyone else and don't blame yourself either. Just don't blame anyone, it makes things so much easier.

Running through anger

Running is great for many reasons but I never knew how much it helped with emotions. I've been a bit of a mess and last night let it all out by going for a run. Now I'm not that fit and normally can't run for ages but all the emotions I have within me I surprised myself and did roughly half an hour of sprinting. I'd recommend you to take your anger out that way instead on someone else. It won't hurt anyone, you're letting out everything you've been keeping inside of you and running is good for you. Don't think of it as fittness, make all your emotions visible, look at them and run as fast as you can to get away from them.

Tears

This is a pretty famous picture by an artist who I do not like. (Just my taste of art, you may like his work if you search him up.) I find this picture to be rather sad and depressing but it really makes you wonder what she is looking at, what is she thinking about? The thing that stands out for me is her eyes, how the darkness of the mascara on her eyelashes grabs your attention. The tears you see, aren't actually tears, they're glass beads. (Sorry but you can think they're tears and not glass if you like, I know that's what I think.) 

This is one of my all time favourite photographs. I love black and white photography but this has taken up it to a new level for me.

Sorry if I today wasn't like usual but I just really love the picture. 

Up not down

Sorry there wasn't anything yesterday and sorry the day before was only a line. I've got a lot of work already for school and in finding it hard to cope with so if the posts seem small or if I miss a day every now and then it's because of my work load.

Having lots on your mind can really suck. You always have something to think about, the sad things get you down because spend more time thinking about why things get you down instead of what things make you happy. You can be down about almost anything if the smallest downside to something slips into your mind. That was happened to me and its not fun. Focus on the happy things, even if its 1% out off 100.

Pluviophile

I don't have much for you tonight sorry but this is better than nothing.

Pluviophile: a lover of rain; someone who finds joy and peace of mind on rainy days.

Party games

When you have a party you play party games. My dad has the best party games and the best he brings out from time to time for the most special occasions. He played the meanest prank on everyone tonight. It was a thinking game, thinking outside the box is so hard to do when you're deep in concentration.
The best party games are original or really simple. One to try it passing a lifesaver lolly around a circle by a toothpick you're holding in your mouth. Give it a try next time you have a party, it's great fun.

Valentines Day

Happy Valentines Day! The 14th of February is the day of love. You go to school or work and if you have that special someone will take you dinner or on a date and that box of chocolates and rose maybe? If you don't its not the end of the world, you might not have someone on Valentines but look forward to next year, you never know what's beyond the horizon. I got a nice surprise from someone today, a rose, chocolate and a card from a friend. I honestly was fine with nothing as I didn't have very high hopes. I knew it was a long shot but I had hoped for something but I didn't happen so I'll just keep dreaming.
Hope you all had a day full of love and if you didn't, it isn't the end of the world. There is next year, and every day is Valentines Day if you love someone and really show that you do.

Laughing class

Yes, we all have those laughing fits from time to time. Some days you find everything funny and others just aren't for you. Today most of my day was spent laughing and that includes inclass. Yeah, the teachers weren't happy and we found it extremely hard to learn but something was pretty funny and we couldn't stop laughing. It was a funny day, one that was highly amusing.

Lost about boys

I'm not in the right place at the moment. Feeling out of place, lost; like you don't belong or fit in. Your head goes one way and your heart another. When it comes to boys you have no idea what to do and visversa for boys when it comes to girls. If you haven't noticed already from some previous posts a few are talking about a guy. I haven't any clue what to do and am so lost as what to do if they like somebody else... I feel like I should just give up, move on, but I've found that to be the impossible for me. (If you know what really liking somebody is like and the feeling you get, that's what this guy makes me feel like.)
What should I do? I just really don't want to lose them...
Boys are another language that we don't understand and girls must be too - from a boys point of view.

The video didn't want to attach properly...but watch this, I like it and the meaning if you read the words carefully - it isn't the best font but it's just something off YouTube.

Being sick at school

I don't all that much today but I'm still gonna give you something.
I got sick on the weekend and don't seem to be getting any better... I would love to have stayed home but really didn't and don't want to miss anything at school, so going to school was a really dumb idea. (Just letting you know, I'm really not the smartest person. If you haven't already figured it out by know...) I did end up going home early but being sick at school is the worst thing possible. The noise around you makes your head hurt like crazy, things may tend to go fuzzy and blurry at times and you don't actually hear anything anyone says. It does mean that you end up with a little more homework than you'd like to have...because nobody wants homework.
You probably miss just as much being at school sick as you do staying at home.
Stay home = free time and do whatever
Go to school = do school work, make others sick potentially and learn nothing
...I may have just done maths.... o.O

Afternoon relaxation

Long hot summer days, you don't have to love them at all, it's totally fine. Mid 30's and a long school day with no air conditioning is not something to look forward to. The last thing you'd want to do in the heat is go and sit in it, outside. I just walked to the park after school and sat there. Yes it was bright and hot and I did have a slight headache but you don't seem to notice any of that, it just all goes away. You might like sitting alone and thinking and just want to get away from everything but having a friend is sometimes nice or music is great too. Although music doesn't talk back to you...it's still nice to have around as a little background noise.
Whatever you choose to outside is up to you but ignore the fact it's hot and just enjoy whatever time you have before winter comes...because it's just far too cold to do anything nice outside.

Restrictions

Sorry there has been no post the last 2 days, I was down the coast.

So parents like to keep stuff from you, protect you. My mother has put restrictions on my computer, so now I can't actually access anything, like not even Facebook!... It's actually one of the most annoying things parents can do. They block you from everything, monitor your every move so you don't do the wrong thing. How can I do something wrong on Facebook, blogger, my email account and bank account...??...... Like seriously, what can possibly go wrong on those websites??? I know what they're worries about but if you trust your kids to do the right thing and they haven't done anything wrong yet, do you seriously think they will?
It's one thing a parent can worry about but it's the best way to tick your child off, and I mean really tick them off.

Sorry about my rant... It did make me feel better but you have to agree with me. If you don't I do apologize.

Never let it go

Ever wish you could just keep something? You must have had the feeling or thought once in your life where you don't want to let go, you just want to keep it forever and ever? That's me, I hate letting things go, no matter how much they hurt. I have something I'm hanging onto, and I'm not letting go. I've tried but a part of me just wants to hang on and never let go. If I had the choice is let go but hang on but that's not up to me to decide, as much as I want I have no control over what happens. People say it's all in the mind but sometimes it's not, sometimes it in your heart, and that's why you can't let go and can't give it up easily.

First 'offical' day

Sorry there was no post for yesterday, it completely slipped my mind....

SO I know I started college on Monday but my first actual day of classes started today. I only had 2 hours of classes and had no idea what to do with my left over 4... I'll use them for study when I get homework and assignments but now I guess I can sleep in and leave early. But as I really like school I went all day and started to wish I got some homework soon or even something I can revise, because I started to get a tad bored.
College can be fun and not fun. Everything has it's ups and downs.

First day

So first day of college today and I have to say it'll only get better, I don't know how when it was already great. I've made new friends, I enjoy my classes and it's so much better than what I thought, not scary one bit! I don't know about your first days but I'm sure they were great. If you haven't made any new friends yet it doesn't matter, you'll make them for sure but just start off friendly and have general conversations and you might already have a new friend. It's great for in classes when you don't actually have anyone you know, I know that's what I have in my classes and by simply saying 'hi' you have a friend. You don't have to hang with them all the time but seeing them around and having those few people is always great.
Teachers, I really hope you guys like your teachers. I like mine...most of them but you'll like them better with time. Or not...
Hope your first day was as good as mine and that the year is a good one for you. Best of luck to anyone and everyone starting a new school or just starting the year.

The end...the beginning...what?

I start college tomorrow. I know I should be all excited and yeah but it's not going to be the same same with friends all over the state... Sure, you make new friends but they're not the same as old friends, the ones you really will miss after a day. (Haven't even started and I miss them...) It'll be a new start. A new adventure. First days are the scariest and the saddest but the next days won't. Everything gets better with time.
Good luck to everyone starting a new school, school year and new adventure! Make new friends, but always keep the old ones.
Let see how your first day goes...

Lights off

Have you ever gone outside at night and looked up at the night sky? It's pretty, but you can't see much in the city because there's too much light. If you go out into the country or away from populated areas and look up at the night sky, it's a sea of stars and its beautiful. Campaigns a great way to see the stars, you can lie outside and look up, might even fall asleep. Nag your parents or someone to go on a drive with you out into no where to see the night sky, it's definitely worth it. A friend of mine wants to be an Astromormer, that would have to be the best job ever, stars everywhere.
If you really want to see the stars in the city you may need to turn the power off...everywhere...but don't do that.

Fun fact: 40 minutes outside of Canberra is a place called Cooma. Once you go through the on the way to Jindabine, if you stop the car and look behind you, you can see the glow from Canberra above the hills. It's cool.

Magic Mountain

So we have a few theme parks in Australia, the main big ones are in Queensland, there's a small water park/pool in the Australia's Capital, one in Sydney, New South Wales and another really tiny one in the same state. (Apologizes I don't know how many theme parks we have.) It's called Magic Mountain and it's more a family theme park where young kids can have fun on anything. There isn't much there but the bobsled ride goes down a mountain side and then carries you all the way back up. It's magical if you have that sort of imagination. The roller-coaster isn't big either, but it's not scary so you can enjoy it. I'll admit, there's a total of about 6 rides but they're family and little kid friendly and you have a lot of fun.
It might not be the 'theme' park for you, but if you don't want to go on any rides you're free and if you want to go on some it doesn't cost a lot. It's probably my favourite.

Peaceful, quiet

Walking along the beach is one of the peaceful things one can do. You hear the waves crashing against the sand and the water comes up to your feet. There's other people around but you don't notice them. The ocean is a peaceful place, beyond the breaking waves is a different world and you can only see the calm top surface.
Take a book down the beach and read a little if that's the kind of person you are. I do that quite often and time really does fly, you end up being there half a day without realizing.

Going and forgeting

Sorry for the late post I'm down the coast and there's little reception anywhere really. I'll give it my best to post everyday until I'm back but yeah, sorry if they're late.

Groin away anywhere you have to pack. You remember everything but always forget something. Don't deny it, you always forget one thing. That thing is generally important... I'm the only one in my family to forget stuff and this time I forgot my toothbrush... Yeah, that's pretty important if you ask me. So I had to buy one. Most people forget chargers or hairbrushes or toothbrushes, the important things. If you're going away and it may not be as often as I do, double or triple check everything and have a list, they really help.

Catch up/hang out

So you've all been in the bush, yes? Well a friend of mine lives in the country and she had a party get-together with a bunch of friends, it was an awesome! I hadn't seen any of the people there since school ended, that's about 7 weeks ago! It was fun to catch up but I'd forgotten how much fun my friends were. We went down the river and had the best time ever. Swimming, jumping off rocks and following over a current over rocks...good times.
It's true what they say, they friends you have in high school are your friends for life. You can hate them all you want, but you'll still love them to bits and they'll always be there for you.

Job hunting

So I'm looking for a job. I typed up a resume with a little help and went job hunting. When you go job hunting have at least 10 places in mind where you'd like to work. This allows you to have more than one option and means you may more chances of getting an interview that may or may not get you the job. Also if you get a few interviews and you get more than one job it's more money and less time you have to spend around younger siblings and parents. Juggling school may be tricky but set out a plan and use your time wisely and you'll be fine - I struggle with school but I'm giving it a shot.
Tips:
1. Ask to speak to the manager when handing in a resume. (It's nice to meet them and make a good first impression.)
2. Smile and be confident
3. Don't stress, it's easy as
4. Always take spare resumes with you - for just in case.

Good luck!  ^_^

Cat

Don't have much for today but here's a funny cat video for you to have a laugh at. Not made by me, just something I found online.

Catch!

Ever gotten food and thrown it in the air, attempting to catch it in your mouth? I do it all the time, mainly with food I can throw though, it is fun experimenting with things. Tonight my family thought popcorn would be something for me to try and catch... It did not go straight, it went in every other direction... They had fun throwing it at me, hit my on the face but did not land in my mouth. It was pretty funny and I got almost all the popcorn, great outcome.
I know parents say don't play with your food, but there's no fun in that. Give it a go, it's fun.

Magic

Magic, what everyone grows up believing to be the coolest thing in the world, and believe me it is. It twisted your head in, makes you think really hard and in the end you still don't get it. It may be an elusion and fake but you may not know that, for all we know it could be real and we'd never know...
The best movie in the world - and you may disagree - but watch the movie Now You See Me and your childhood will be blown away. Disagree all you want but until you watch it, don't say a thing, you'll think magic is the coolest thing around.
Believe in the magic...

Forever In Our Hearts

I'd like to dedicate tonight's blog post to the family who lives across the road to a beloved family member who passed away on Saturday the 19th. I've been living across the road from them for 10 years and she was like another grandmother to all. She was loved by all and played a big part in the community. She did a lot for the primary school I went to while I was there and my best memory was when she took us to the nursing home for music class so we could sing for the people there.
Today was her final farewell and so many people from the community, friends and family came. It was a very sad day and will be hard for everyone, she was loved by all and she loved all.

Look For Me In The Rainbows

Time for me to go now, I won't say goodbyes

look for me in the rainbows, way up in the sky.

In the morning sunrise when all the world

is new, just look for me and love me, as you

know I loved you.

Time for me to leave you, I won't say goodbye,

look for me in the rainbows, high up in the sky.

In the evening sunset, when all the world is

through, just look for me and love me and I'll be

close to you.

It won't be forever, the day will come and then

my loving arms will hold you, when we meet again.

Time for us to part now we won't say goodbye;

Look for me in the rainbows, shinning in the sky.

Every waking moment and all your whole life through.

Just look for me and love me, as you know I loved you.

Just wish me to be near you,

and I'll be there with you. 

Thank you all, it means a lot to me and the moon to the family. 

Break down

Super sorry for yesterday, I had a little break down about stuff.
I guess a teenagers do. You can't take the pressure, get upset and can't take it anymore, parents, friends, you name it and a teenager can lose it. I know I can and knowing how to control it would be nice, but then you couldn't let it all out. No one can have the best of both worlds. Let the big things out and the small ones in? It might help to control it when you really need it.
If you do break down don't take it out on others and don't blame yourself, don't blame anyone. That may sound stupid but it's better than arguing with someone over it and feeling bad.

Jelly legs

Bushing walking was a great idea, it meant I didn't have to go buy jelly... It was great fun but after 5 hours I didn't actually have any legs... It was worth it though, seeing the wildlife and almost stepping on a red-belly black snake! My mum comes up with some weird fun things to do because almost stepping on a snake was somehow the funniest part of the walk... Anyway, bush walking was great. Hiking up a steep hill and climbing up rocks was fun, best views are always from the top.
Give it a go, you see some pretty amazing sights and animals. Just don't step on any...

Gloomy days

Gloomy days can mean a gloomy mood. That just about sums up my day right there, gloomy and sad. It didn't have much to do with the sky but cloudy and overcast weather conditions don't help ones mood, not at all.
Don't let the day day bring you down, it's sometimes just a reflection of how your feel. Try to see your reflection differently.
Sorry if the posts aren't great at the moment, my moods taken a massive decline...

Looking back

You look back on the past and remember all those great times you had, all those memories. That's what happens in the end, you start looking back on the beginning and everything in between. You go back and realize somethings could have been different but if you changed them things might not be the way they were. Some things you wished hadn't happened said, done and seen but you can't change the past. Something just ended for me and I always look back, even though I should be looking forward.
Never get rid of your memories. Letting go of things in the past is hard but you never, ever, ever have to let go completely.
The end is just a new beginning...

After a while

So I've been away since the end of school basically and haven't seem or caught up with many friends... Being stuck in a house is no fun after a while so while talking to a friend he asked if I wanted to hang out and catch up. Did I?! Boy, did it make my day. It's fun hanging out with friends and spending time with them. And it's even better after not seeing them for a while because it means you have to spend more time with someone to catch up.
After a while, it takes a while.

Sorry there was no post yesterday, I did absolutely nothing and wasn't well.

Run out

I guess everything has a use-by date on it, most things do when you buy them in store. Apparently the only thing that doesn't is honey but I'm not here to lecture you about food and when to use it by.
The one thing you don't really use much in the holidays is your brain, well you do but when it come to thinking of stuff to do I guess you could say it only has so much use before it runs out off ideas and takes its own vacation. (Would've been nice to know when it expired though...) Mine did that today, I said bye to it around lunch time... Oh well, I guess you could say after that I basically did nothing.
Hope you guys are having more luck at thinking of things to do than me...

Walking

Walking is the easiest exercise to do. You walk every day without even thinking well if you didn't walk you wouldn't actually get anywhere... For me it's the best part of day. I can clear my head, get exercise, if I want to walk my dog and go anywhere - if it's not too far away. As it's hot I go in the evenings but it doesn't cool down much at all unfortunately. Anyway there is an upside to walking late in the evening, you get to see the sunset if you go at the right time and have a very clear view.
Don't know about you guys but I enjoy walking, you don't run out of breath and it's relaxing. Gotta keep fit one way or another in the holidays.

Horrible weather

So down here in Australia it get's very hot pretty much everywhere, like sharing it around the country. At the moment I think the country may be sharing it round by the week or every few days because it's 30-45 degrees Celsius right around the whole country. This week where I live it's 30-40 degrees and it's staying closer to 40... There's not much to do in the heat, you generally stay inside with your air-conditioning on doing nothing and I don't blame you. My only problem is I have to get out every day because I don't like being inside all the time. I'm pretty sure no one likes the heat very much, if you do, I probably will think you're crazy.
For those in the Northern Hemisphere where in some places it's -50 degrees Celsius, I really hope you're staying warm! Don't freeze...
Try your best to cop with the weather, wherever you are.

P.S. If you're living in Canada/USA in Toronto, please post a photo! The cold snap seems to have made Niagara Falls look super cool.
Cheers!

New style

Everything needs a new style after awhile. Music is a good example and so are houses. I've been changing my room for a while now and today and tomorrow the final things go into place. My room will never be completely finished but for now the style suits it and when I need a new style I can just change it. Yes effort is required but it's always worth it for the finished product.
I'm always in the mood for new music. Not because I don't like my old stuff but because again, new things come out. Don't get me wrong, I still love all my old stuff but everything needs that little bit of 'new' in it.

I do apologize if the post seem a tad boring but it's holidays and I'm at home and there isn't much to do so sorry if they aren't that good. Thanks :)

Home sweet home

Hey, I'm back. Just want to thank my friend who did my blogs for me while I was away. I know he didn't do every day but I did ask a lot of him to do so and on such short notice too so a massive thank you and hope you enjoyed the last month almost, with my surprise post no and then.
I look forward to a great year of blogging! Boy have I missed doing a post every day.

So I'm back from holiday and boy have I missed home! Everything is different when you're away. Although they say home is wherever family is, it's never quite the same as living at home. Seeing friends and family and pets, coming back to everything you left behind. (Just saying, I really missed the taste of water and my own bed, and of course my dog and cat.) Going away is nice but I go away much too often, as you've probably noticed most holidays... Coming home from holidays has to be one of the best parts but it has its downsides too. After being at home for a while you start to miss being away, I know I do every time.
I guess that's the thing that will never change, coming home to the place you missed and then missing the place you were...

House sitting and pool

Hey everyone, again I'm so so sorry for not being anything for two days! I've had a couple late busy nights and I couldn't post anything.
So at the start of this week, my sister was asked to house sit a family friends place and yesterday, I decided to come over with her and hang out. It was a pretty good night staying up super late and watching movies we just rented plus this family has pets! Pets make everything a lot more fun! They have 2 adorable cats and 1 cute dog and they nicely snugged up yo us while watching movies. It was a pretty entertaining time. This was yesterday. The day before was just as good!

Pool. Not a swimming pool. Billiards! The game where you hit coloured, numbered balls with a white ball using a cue into holes. It's a lot of fun but I'm really not the best at it but it's so fun that I couldn't not play! It's a game requiring a lot of concentration, patience and sometimes even triangulation. It took a few shots to "find my game" but once I did, me and everyone else had a great time!

"Promotion"

Hey everyone, I'm so sorry, I didn't post anything yesterday, it completely slipped my mind only until I woke up today! I'll tell you about anyway just because my day today isn't worth reading.
In my church, there are certain so called "ranks" you could say that you go up as get older. Once you turn 12, if you're a boy, you become what is called a deacon and receive what's called the arronic priesthood but I won't get into that too much and for a girl, it's a beehive. When you turn 14, for boys it's a teacher (but not an actual one though you do teach lessons on occasion at church) and girls its a miamaid. This next one is what I became, a priest now that I'm 16. Let me assure you though, the title of priest is very different in my church than others and for girls its a Laurel. As a "priest" though, I can do a number of things in the church like assist with ordinations for others but one of the coolest things is that I'm given the ability to baptize others. So, if I were to bring a friend to church and convert them, then I myself am able to baptize them.
A priest at 16. It's gonna be interesting.

Painting

Today was a fairly dull day so excuse me if you fall asleep reading tonights post but it must go on!
So anyway, my younger sister is a bit of an artist. She has huge trunck full of art supplies. Brushes, different paints, prncils , you name it. Now my older sister has been experimenting on the sewing machine. She's got a basic understanding which was enough for her to make a kind if small curtain from old cloth. Her reason for these curtains was to hide the look of the bins in our house. Although light creamy coloured curtains are pretty dull so she asked me if I can decorate the curtains with my younger sisters supplies. Hmm a design for a curtain covering our bins? The first thing I came up with was Oscar the grouch! Why not? He lives in a bin which I figured was a good enough reason to paint him on the curtain and its looms pretty good if I do say so myself. I forgot how amusing it was to paint!

Holiday weight

Yep that's right. Just by looking at the title you know what I'm gonna say. C'mon! Admit it! Dont be embarrassed. Surely, we have all gained a bit of weight over this summer holiday. I know I have and for those miraculous people who haven't? Well, I admire you! It's bound to happen! You eat a huge amount of food on Christmas day and just as you get out of your ridiculous food coma, there's the new years feast! Two big feasts almost within a weeks of each other and correct me if I'm wrong but you probably don't wanna go outside and do anything because of the burning hot sun...or freezing cold snow. So, you just stay inside watch a movie or something so you can't do anything much to loose that weight unless you go swimming or skiing? Whatever you northern hemispheric people do.
It's a cruel world but there are plenty of ways even if your own home to get rid of those food babies!

Entertainment systems

Hey Everyone, it's back to that friend of hers!
I've been fairly busy around the house lately...normally when I say this, it means cleaning my room, the kitchen, bathroom...basically the in and outs of the place but not this time no. Remember what I told you about boxing day? Cheap sales? Yeah, well my parents bought a new TV, Blu ray player and a surround sound system! Guess who got to hook it all up? Me! Oh it was a lot of fun. Real guy stuff if you know what I mean! Once everything was hooked up, I took a step back and completely admired the work and then of course experienced surround sound and my did it sound amazing! But what is to become of the old TV? Don't worry, that's safe in my room. Shh!

Happy New Year

Hey, me again. Just wanted to welcome you all to 2014! Have you decided on how you want the year to go or are you just going day by day? Don't set your goals or standards too high or too low because nothing ever goes to plan. Hope for the best and take a positive mind to whatever you do and the year should be a breeze.
If you're thinking back to last year and think about school and weren't too happy with grades or your attitude or habits, you can change them this year, it's a fresh start.
Anything is possible and you're capable to do whatever you wish. Remember, a positive attitude and the will to try will get you a lot futher then not trying and not being bothered. Who knows, this year might be a huge success!
