so... I is testing my new user icon
guess what? I need a new mood theme
I really don't want to write this essay. The arms race is not that interesting. But then again, neither are the other topics. Plus I should be writing my speeches, but I really can't be bothered.

Well there is less then 2 weeks untill I leave Canada, and exactly 2 weeks untill I get back to aus. I have to spend a whole day either waiting for a plane or one a plane, and I have to go to chicago, then san fransico, and then finally sydeny. anywho, I have exams the week after next, and then I will have done half of grade 11.

It's almost christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY.
it's the ;ast day of school before christmas break, and half the school didn't show up. It's notlike we are doing anyhting anyway. In social, we are watching the fast and the furious tokyo drift. That movie is terrible!!!!!!!. They're in Japan, and yet they are all speaking english. I got a present today. Megan gave me some new PJs and some shania twain perfume.
I won't be able to post untill at least the 8th of jan, because I don't have internet @ home.

I have finally got around to posting agian. It's almost been I year, I think, since I last posted. It's only partly my fault. I haven't got internet at home, and the school has anything even slightly decent blocked, but I am using a proxy server.
I am sitting in Chem, and am "studying". I will be back on the 27th of January, after a 24 hr flight, not including layovers. There is so much snow on the ground at the moment. i mean, lots for me. It is still darkwhen I leave the house to walk to school at 8:15.
Christmas is in less then a week, and I'm still at school :(, cause up here, the school year runs from september to june. G2G, teacher just wlaked in

So... Christmas. I got some beads (cheapo plastic ones and some moonstone, garnet and snowflake obsidian), an iTunes card, two cds and a book. Plus when I got to ballarat my Aunt gave me a travel diary and just a plain week to a double page diary. Driving to ballarat took nine hours. To rephrase that, nine hours in a hot car with my brother asking whether we were in Africa yet every five minutes. Once we got to ballarat, we stayed in a really nice but old cottage thing. We went to the beach on Friday, and my legs got really badly burnt. I couldn't walk for half of New Years Eve. But Claire, my lovely drama queen sister made a big deal over the tiny little burns on the back of her legs. She would not move, and everyone was being all (sym)pathetic to her, never mind the my burns were much worse then hers and were all over my legs.
The trip back was so hot! and Claire was hogging the air con vents. And she forgot to wear deoderant and stank the entire car out. I swear it was 45 degrees when we stopped.

FOrgot all of my work for english and photography. Made a cd and couldn't figure out why it wasn't working, untill i realized that i had to plug in my cd player first. Have used a pronoun. Am drinking Milo. Handed in my sose assignment. Still can't find a good poem for english. am writing in sentance fragments. watched mythbusters (lots of toast ;))tried to work in photography. AM re-reading going postal for the millionth time. have run out of things to say. Jess if you are reading this, to stop annon people posting on your journal go down the bottom of the update screen and find the screen coments setting and set it to anon only

Had school. It was boring. Stacking cups is harder then you might think. Went shopping this afternoon. Didn't buy much. I found the coolest skeleton thing. CHeck it out

Finished my assigment on Bhutan. Am still trying to find a good poem for english, and I have to finish my photography one as well. Jenny (M) and I got caught in a yr 7 fight. Some girl pushed another one, the one who got pushed pushed back and the pusher's friends attacked. We got caught in the flow, but managed to escape.

Brainy Kid

In high school, you were acing AP classes or hanging out in the computer lab. You may have been a bit of a geek back then, but now you're a total success!

now I've found a new way to poast these. After every normal post.

Today was horrible. It started out okay, but with boring subjects. Then it startd to rain. More classes, still boring, but have almost finished SOSE assignment. Lunch was really bad. First it was cold and gloomy, and then J+J had a fight wich almost immediently escalated into an all-out war with poor mez stuck in the middle :(. My grandparents arrived today. They gave me an inflight magazine:). Am going shopping tomorrow. I officially hate hotmail. It deleted the message I was writing twice last night, and it froze this morning. It's really hard to practise (flute) when you haven't got a music stand.

Can you tell I'm bored?

Your Hair Should Be Purple

Intense, thoughtful, and unconventional. You're always philosophizing and inspiring others with your insights.

You Should Learn Swedish

Fantastisk! You're laid back about learning a language - and about life in general. Peaceful, beautiful Sweden is ideal for you... And you won't even have to speak perfect Swedish to get around!

LOL claire is trying to learn swedish, and my ansestors are swedish

me again! found these on Claire's LJ (oneinnabun)

You Know You're From Australia When...

Your next door neighbours can be from Tunisia, Israel, Indonesia, Japan, Zimbabwe, Iraq, Brazil, Spain, Malaysia... The community is so concerned over the fact that muslim women can't use public swimming pools because there are men present that they have female-only periods. The Greeks and Mexicans next door ask you over to have a barbeque. You don't actually use the words 'sheila' or 'shrimp'. You sleep with Aeroguard on. You're wearing a cap emblazoned with 'Get A Dog Up Ya.' You feel obliged to spread salty black stuff that looks like congealed motor oil on bread and actually grow to like it. You actively dislike Americans, but watch their TV, eat their food and worship their idols. You think Tall Poppy Syndrome is a national condition. Democracy means the freedom to draw caricatures of John Howard. Your idea of a lethal weapon is a slug gun. The closest you ever got to going overseas was your packet of 5 Days In Rio grundies. A posh meal = an all-you-can-eat buffet. The term "musical instrument" also extends to wobbly bits of ply-wood, hand saws, gum leafs and combs. Your most offensive curse also doubles as an exclamation of awe or amazement, like, "fark orf!" All of your internationally famous people don't live here. You think footballers dressing up in drag on TV is funny (but your son being gay isn't). You relish test cricket - the longest, slowest game in sport (and that's not even counting the replays). After all, what else gives you an excuse to sit on your arse for five days, watch TV and sink piss with your mates? You don't drink Fosters, but you let the world think you do. The only thing better than beating the Pohms at ANY sport is giving them shit for it. You love, adore and admire a particular team/sportstar/actor on a winning streak - until they lose. Then they're just crap and 'past it.' You can compress several words into one - ie 'g'day', 'd'reckn?' This allows for more space for profanities. You favour either Holden or Ford - or a souped-up WRX with new kit and a bootful of subwoofer. Driving down the main street/beach road playing bad techno is your idea of a perfect Saturday night / Sunday arvo. You make kooky films, sometimes about wayward road trips (across the outback preferably). Quite a few are crap. You know all the words to Khe Sahn but not the national anthem. Your nickname ends in 'a' or 'o'. You have a customised stubby holder. Your soap stars become pop singers and move to the UK. You've ever used the words - grouse, tops, ripper, choice, sick, rad, exo, ace, wicked, ballistic - to mean good. And then you place 'bloody' in front of it when you really mean it. Your cooking apron has plastic breasts on it. The "Aussie Aussie Aussie! Oi oi oi!" chant has been a religious experience in the past. The blokes at the local gym think your weight training is an opportunity to ask you out on a date. The big national sporting events are men-only. Your politicians believe than sticking the prefix 'un' in front of your nationality is an effective way of making you sit down and shut up. Our mantras are 'fair go for all', 'mateship' and 'little Aussie battler' - but we still publicly condemn those with different viewpoints to us. The barbeque is a male-dominated arena. And the women do the salads. 'Fair go for all' excludes indigenous people. An eight-hour trip to go camping for the weekend isn't out of the question or excessive. You take pride in living in a tolerant multicultural society but firmly believe that all Poms and Kiwis are fair game. You insist on asking every celebrity who steps of an aircraft what they think of Australia. If the response is not overwhelmingly positive, they should be subjected to immediate public ridicule. The private lives of footy and cricket players become more important than local and national news stories. Slick pick-up lines like 'Wanna shag?' and 'Carn, show us yer tits' can constitute male-to-female conversation. You say 'no worries' quite often, whether you realise it or not. You realise you have no Bill of Rights. The first thing guaranteed to get eaten at parties is fairy bread. So that's the special ingredients that make up an Aussie - whatever your taste. You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Austrailia.

You Know You're From Canberra When...

You run into someone who is related to your 2nd cousin. Everyone's related to everyone. You are running late for work yet you still arrive before 9am. You can see your breath in front of you at 7:30pm INSIDE THE HOUSE. You can't walk through a mall without greeting 10 aquaintances. You NEVER go to the coast. You whine about having to travel 30 minutes to see someone. Your friends won't travel 30 minutes to see you because they think its too far. You travel from Tuggers to Belco to have people say "Gosh, you're a long way from home." Glow in the dark bowling becomes an appealing past time. The Govt invites you to implosions as a "Family fun day". The highlight of your Wednesday evening is seeing Garema Place come up on the The Panel on #10 You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Canberra.

Have moved all my stuff out of my room and am sleeping in the lounge room. At least I get to watch TV late @ night now. Had the worst head ache this morning. It went away tho, so its all good.
I got the contact details for my host family today. I'm not sure what time 2 call, because of the time difference.
the funniest thing happened in maths today. Tamo turned around and said "do we have maths today"

I spent the entire morning (and yesterday evening) doing an assignment and it's still not done!!!! Evil poetry *shifty eyes* Anyway, grandparents are coming down and THEY GET MY ROOM! This is not good. ah well, they usually give me stuff so it's all good. Still on the subject of grandparents, I got a huge parcel yesterday.... It was one of those cool rolley suitcase thingys, from my grandmother. Now everyone is wondering why she just didn't take it down here with her when she comes
