Life =)

I have been amazingly busy this last few months, so much so that my education kind of disappeared. In November I was busy with our play and the stress of being Elizabeth Bennet the stress didn't fade straight away and for a few days afterwards I found myself speaking with posh accident and quoting lines.

After that I went on a homeschool camp which was nice to an extent there were many things that made the five days a bit troublesome but the details aren't important, it was a good trip and I came home with an awesome tan. Then cam James and Jennifer's engagment it was such a pretty setting and I felt like a gypsy running through the tents they had set up.

After that came a week of catching up with friends and sleep and then my sisters birthday party, the preparations were well worth it and the night was so enjoyable. The tree under which we were sitting in our backyard had been decorated with lanterns and fairy lights and the atmosphere around it was warm. Carols was the next night, it was supposed to be carols on the grass but it started to rain thankfully before we had set up properly and we moved it inside which gave it a different feel. Monday morning I prepared for a sleepover and was soon heading over to North Ryde to hang out with two of the most AMAZING girls in the world! ♥ We were dropped of at Macquarie and organized oursleves to see the social network which was really good... we then walked back to my friends place, picking up I Love You, Too from the video store on our way. we got back to her place and all collapsed on her bed and then spent much too long a time on facebook being silly and chatting with randoms. We watched the movie and then as is usual with sleepovers spent a long time talking bout all that mattered and stuff that didn't...
I got home today and realized how much I had missed my home and being able to relax without having to go somewhere. It gave me a chance to set up the christmas tree and think over things. I have been having weird mood swings and it's been confusing, my weeks only get busier but the new year promises a break, it also promises to be a better start to a year than this one...

Busy...

Just checked mum and dad's emails and have realized almost all my weekends are booked and some even double booked! This year went way too fast. It still feels like January last year! I'm going to be able to get my licence next year which scares me to heck only two years ago I was excited to become a teen and now I wish my life would slow down.
I look back on the last five years and I can see how I have changed and matured. To think I used to be a shy little girl running through the park outside our house unaware of the ways of the world, content in my own world.
If I could return back to that time for just a day...

Holiday Happenings

Blogging is fun
Although I don't know why
Writing down thoughts
That come into my mind

Blogging is cool
Many people think so
I think many blogs up
I don't write them down

Well don't ask me why I wrote a random poem. I just did!
It felt write and i think it sounds terrible! Anyways, I miss my sister. I haven't seen her since at least last week and that was too long ago.
This week has been great! On wednesday I went out with the TEAR peoples and saw Tomorrow When The War Began, then Charlotte slept over and we had such a good time. Thursday we went to Audley with a couple of the homeschoolers and went rowing which was so relaxing and nice. It calmed all my nerves about camping on the weekend. Friday, I awoke with anticipation and excitment, the longing to be setting up a tent and lossing all the stress and worry of home filled me with joy. Mum was busy calling everyone, organizing details. The mood wasn't right and somewhere in our heads the setting told us that this trip was off. I was not too happy to find out i would be trapped in my cage for perhaps the rest of the holidays. I was rescued by my friend Jess, who invited me over for a sleepover. We had a madtime watching Oceans Eleven, Twelve and Thirteen. We ate too much junk food though, the effect of which is now punishing my body.
I still wish I was camping, waking up to the sound of nature and feeling fresh from breathing such clean air. I'm happy though, definately fine with the situation.

.....

The title in my blog is in fact ironic. I thought I would really get into blogging and would in fact spend my time well. Writing down the witty comments that interrupt my daily thoughts. I was wrong! Though occasionally wrtiting a blog or two when I can be bothered, I hardly write witty comments nor things that interrupt my thoughts, since when either of these things are in my head I am too focused on thinking of them that I don't bothered writing them down or keeping them long enough to be used as writing material in this blog of mine. This is the reason that you will find i hardly ever write any blogs at all. The fact of the matter is when neither of the afore said are occupying my simple little head, the things that are would certainly bore you or give you a very confused look into the mind of a teenage girl.
Things I have been thinking on recently:

My Beautiful Sister -















My Amazing Parents -



















My Charming Brothers -


















The Blessing of Friends -








And How Awesome My Family IS!!! -

My brothers

I Love Ty!!!

Ty is my newest brother... He doesn't do much, but he is still incredibly cute/adorable/amazing (you get the picture?) He was born 12 days ago... :) As is normal for a small baby he sleeps almost of the time and when he is awake he can't focus his eyes. I love watching his face, seeing all the expressions he makes. He has dimples when he kind of yawns. His head is so tiny especially when compared to his body... He has such cute little feet and hands. His skin is so soft, I love just smoothing his forehead. He has so many admirers, everyone comes and cuddles him so he hardly has time alone. :P

Drama, drama, drama...

It was an excruciatingly long time to wait to find out the casting of our end of year performance in drama. This year’s production is Pride and Prejudice!! We found out at the beginning of the holidays and I was dying to know who would be cast as who, I am extremely pleased with the results! As I am to play the part of Elizabeth Bennett which excites and scares me all at the same time since it's a very big job but one of the best ones! We're about to go out ice skating so i might finish this later :)

Weekend!!!

Went shopping this weekend! At DFO with Charlotte, Dora, Genevieve and Taylor all amazing girls! I bought quite a few singlets and a really nice blue cardigan plus green converse!!! I was so tired by the end of the day... Since I had a sleepover on friday after youth group, then in the morning we had a wedding and then the shopping! I was so knackered I went to sleep before 8! Church was nice, I gave Jess some voice coaching.... I went to the Tucks after church and felt like a celebrity from the number of times my name was called! Doctor Who tonight! I can't remember what the preview was so it shall be exciting not knowing anything beforehand. There is supposedly a cyclonic thing coming that was meant to come today but has decided to wait....

Me....

So since your reading my thoughts and trying to imagine what I'd be like to meet.... I'll give you an idea. For example ever since I began this blog I've been trying to find the best background for my music and my notes and photo's, but everything I went through was either too pretty or so not me and not matching my music. I don't have a style. I am not stereotypical and yet I am which is confusing. I don't think I'm weird but I know i am. I have a crazy silly personality, that can change to a serious responsible adult in moments. I never know what to expect....
I'm not exceptionally tall for my age but am taller than all my friends by at least a few centimetres. I have hair that has a mind of it's own, it will be tied back one moment and free and flowing the rest. I rarely tie my hair back though it is hardly in the same position day to day. For instance my part zig zags, straightens and splits.
Today I made one of my balloon people, I make it out of clothing stuffed with clothing and since I use my own clothing it is usually life size. I like to leave it lying around the room to surprise people since I usually give it a balloon head under a hood. People think it is someone and even though it's only for a split second I get as much enjoyment as I get from eating malteasers.



I am also currently knitting a light blue scarf. It is taking a very long time but I guess patience is a virtue!

Saturday....

Yesterday was heaps of fun. I had work in the morning, Keira woke me up with 15 minues to get ready. So I ate plain toast.
Today I'm watching The Prince and Me, I got a bit distracted by the computer though.... I was editing my music on the blog and I began to listen to some Glee, then I wanted to watch some the only channel that I can see the songs on is this awesome asian one called youku.com which has everything in asian and english, thank goodness. So dad's watching my movie while I watch Glee.
I'm now extremely distracted and the sunis setting so I'm starting to freeze. Mum and Dad hired Old Dogs from the video store and we're going to go to the Hadges to watch it tonight, while our parents and theirs are at Fireproof bible study. I am looking forward to it!

A Day Without Drama

Today was a strange occurrence. Jennifer was unfortunately sick, so we were free from 1:15 onwards to hang and be crazy, which is exactly what we did! Me, Charlotte and Meggles went crazy first dancing in the toy room, then playing with a balloon whilst sitting on a file cabinet, we then interrupted the youngsters band practice taking over the sound equipment. We rocked out to Blessed Be Your Name, me singing, Charlie on drums and Meg playing hectic on the piano!! We then went and set up the hall... Charlotte and Meg became witches on their broomsticks, which then turned us into chimney sweeps and then singers. Singing again Blessed be your name, trying to find more songs we all knew... Such fun!! I also stole Jayden's orange beanie for the day and am still wearing it.
When I got home I immediately changed into my PJ pants and grabbed my quilt to snuggle on the couch with mum and Jay and watch Rabbit Proof Fence. Dad came home and made dinner. Shepherds pie. I ate the potato off the top... mmmh
I am a little bit sick but who isn't? Last night I had four blankets on!!! The weather stinks!
I was impressed by how good we sounded today as a "mini band"... I thought we sounded really cool and we could make it work for heaps more songs. Singing together and playing different pieces with variations... The others weren't as enthusiastic....
Am currently talking to Jessica Mackenzie on the phone...

Shadow Cat!

On the way home from work.

Sunday Afternoons

Sunday afternoons are the best... Just a time for relaxing, having friends over and eating chocolate. Talking on the phone for over half an hour and playing lemmings on the gameboy SP! Sunday is the day for pyjama's... when you know people might come over but you put your PJ's on anyway, knowing they won't care.
Yesterday was really good. The party was heaps of fun, but I'm so tired now!
We're learning Hallelujah in choir, so been looking at a couple of different versions from singers I like... Keira told me Regina Spektor had sung it, it was kind of morbid and scary. The other song I like that Regina sings is the call, it is in one of the narnia movies at the end. In fact I love all her songs, she's really awesome!
Really tired now, I feel like getting a bunch of quilts and pillows and settling in on the couch after hiring a movie from videoezy...
Doctor Who's on soon! Excited it's a two parter. The last part was really suspenseful and I was screaming at the television because it was making me wait for another week to find out what happened. I always get really exctied and nervous when there's weeping angels on the screen. I like the new doctor and don't mind the new TARDIS but Amy Pond annoys me. They have taken it a bit too far with changing it up, in my point of view.
Dad is watching a fishing show on Tv and Halen's on the computer. Mum is taking a nap whilst Jayden is nowhere to be seen...
Keira, Aimee and Tenielle came over for lunch today and we sat outside trying to soak up the last drops of sunlight.
I want to do really pretty things in my room and have some sort of order to it, but that would mean repainting and reorganizing again.
Trying to add some music to my profile, hope it works though I know my siblings won't apporve of my taste though some of things they won't mind...

My First Post

So the title is a little original, but I'm excited!! I should probably tell you something interesting like I love rock climbing... (which i don't) but I'm not sure that's what I want to do...
I have a crazy, good family! They are amazing... my older sister is so funny and she's has some of the craziest ideas but I would never swap her for anyone!! My older brother is the bomb... he has a good sense of style and humour... My younger brother is a character, he is like the BFG no offence bro... My mum is the best and pregnant and my dad is well he's my dad... I have the most amazing friends in the world, as well! They are unbelievable!
I have to make a cake today for a 5/55 birthday, it's gonna be pretty exciting. It's for an organization that I'm part of called TEAR!! Transformation, Empowerment, Advocacy, Relief. It's pretty awesome. We meet up once a month and find ways to help raise peoples awareness of overseas poverty. Today will be mad fun and I'm having my friend Jess stay over afterwards.
I should probably go and make that cake...
