Why, hello there!
This was actually Tess' idea but I beat her too it ^_^'
Since we're all on different side's of the world it's hard to catch eachother on at the same time, and if we do it's usually because we're only just catching the other before they nod off to sleep, so let's take this thread as an oppertunity to update how we are
So how are you?
20 / 07 / 2011 Roughlyyyyyy 10:44pm
I'm good! A little stuffed full of food, I came back home from getting Hungry Jack's (Aussie version of Burger King) aboutan hour ago with my brother and his girlfriend. Ate. Too. Muuuuuuch.
My brother was riding around the parking lot on a unicyle. I think the pimply-looking kid's behind the counter got a good kick out of it.
For some reason I've been trying to figure out what the worst scenario you could find yourself in if you're an electrical appliance... I recon it is if you were a smoke alarm and you havent got any batteries. Cause you can see the fire, but you cant do anything about it.

Dear Diary (aka; Mooka and Haddy), Today all 39 of my cadets forgot to load their instruments on the truck that would take them to the school. They got on the bus, and then drove off to the school without me while I loaded the instruments. Then we had a rehearsal full of not knowing where things were; instruments, music...people. I could feel my blood pressure rising and rising. Not only that, but the man in charge of the entire cadet music program for Pacific region, and my past mentor, came by for a visit today to see how things were going. We played through O Canada, God Save The Queen, Quadra and Top Gun that period. Then we had lunch; it was Pineapple and Ham pizza. Nothing too inspiring. It gave me stomach cramps... ... ... ... moving on! We had another rehearsal where we prepared ourselves to play on parade tomorrow morning. We handed out march packs and lyres and readable, shrunken down music for them to play. Downbeat is in 9 hours from now; it is now (almost) 11 pm. After our hectic yet surprisingly productive rehearsal we went to do the confidence (obstacle) course. We crawled through small tight spaces, then jumped off of high platforms. My upper body strength is better than I expected, but I am still short and still clumsy. We were late for that, so we did 11 push-ups. After that we double timed over to the jetty and promptly jumped off of it after putting on our PFD's and lining up. That went surprisingly well. I had 3 girls who claimed to be allergic to salt water so I marched them back to the blocks separately. They say they are allergic, yet when we went on beach leave they went in the ocean anyway. I think they were pulling shit, but at the time I didn't give a damn. XP Dinner was uninspiring. If I told you what it was you may lose all faith in the culinary arts. Forever. After that my day got better, because I was no longer on duty. However I needed to do course reports and copy missing music, I think my evening was as non-stressful as possible. One thing I can say about this experience is that I never want girls for children; ever. A good chunk of my girls are either super nice, or whiny, over hormonal, stab-you-while-you're-sleeping, diva bitches. They drive me crazy! The boys? The boys are awesome. I know not all girls are like that, but I don't understand why these ones are. I'm a girl, I should be able to figure them out...right? How are you guys?

Forgot the date D: ! It's about 3:05am here, Wednesday. Very dark outside.
Wow Tessa sound's like you've been really busy lately!
Forgotten instrument's and allergies to salt water sound's very conveniant. I call lier's lier's pant's on fire!
Pizza sound's good actually... I make my own, (and when I say make my own I buy the pizza base in a grocery store and then just chop up a few ingredient's) you CANNOT have enough pineapple on a pizza.
I'm going to ask what you had for dinner anyway! Cerial? Toast? An apple? I had two packet's of two-minute maggi noodles for dinner tonight. Chicken flavor (for the record).
I'm good here! Right now I'm watching the Kim Possible movie. Ron Stoppable is my favorite character ^_^ ! I googled naked mole rat's once and they really aren't as cute as Rufus.
I went to see Harry Potter part 7.5 today! I wont divulge too much info on the movie if you haven't seen it or read the book's. Okay, two teeny spoiler's cause I cant resist. One: The Death Eater's burnt down the Quiddich Pitch D: ! Nuuuuuuuu! Those butthead's Two: At the very end they do a little "19 Year's Later" bit, and although our hero's looked very unconvincing as middle-aged parent's, I offer a pat on the back to the hairstylist's and folk's who designed the prosthetic crow's feet which Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny wore.
Oh, and Harry get's the crap kicked out of him but Voldemort die's in the end. I also decided that I want an albino dragon for my birthday. It's settled.
I finally got a phone call about this modelling/extra's thing, and have a photoshoot at the end of the week (on my sister's birthday so taking it as a good sign). So I can put upb the phot's for different people to look at who are looking to hire people to act as either an extra or take photo's and junk - should be cool!
I'm meant to get up by 8:30ish am - 9 am tomorrow, today to help my mum prune grapevine's, then we'll go gift shopping for my sister who's turning 18 on Friday! OMG! I dont like people growing up around me, uncool!
Mook havent heard from you yet

Well I haven’t had anything to say until now xD
You guys all sound like you have done some productive things lately, I’m jealous. xD Well maybe not of the bad food, but everything else, oh and maybe not the teenage girls I already have to deal with them at school.
And yes I have seen that movie too Rosey! Defiantly one of the best ones ,but hey did a bad job showing all the deaths I think :/ But other than that it was good, the special effects were lovely and there was actually some humor in which made me laugh. xD
Rosey, you will do amazing at your photo shoot, you are gorgeous, so I’m sure lots of people will pick you up!
Hrm what’s new with me…school starts back up on the sixteenth, actually looking forward to it. I have student government and German again. <3 And I’m super excited for my cross country season this year, I’ve been training all summer so hopefully I’ll get under 19:30 which is my goal. Right now I’m doing a 20:40 five kilometer so we’ll see.
Any exciting plans for you guys?

Sorry for not being on. I know I said I would be back the 22nd? Maybe? Whatever that Friday was... Anyways, forgive my absence, but all kinds of stuff has happened in the past few days.
To begin with, my trip was amazing. Spending a week with five of my closest friends was one of the best ideas ever. We did quarrel a little, but being confined to a vehicle for so many hours happens. We ended up staying an extra day, but on the way back we had tire issues. It didn't blow, but come very close. It was all deformed an what not. Sadly, we couldn't get the spare off. It is one of those that is kept on the bottom of the van, and it was so old and rusted that it refused to budge. We had to call someone, buy a new tire, and ended up staying at another hotel.
So we got home mid sunday, and thats when more stuff started. A woman called from my school, informing me that the finally got my transcript so I could change my math class, and was sorry to say that they had to drop one of my other classes because there weren't enough people in it. I was a little annoyed, but understood, and drove up to school.
The whole math class thing was a nightmare, and I could rant about it forever, but I think I won't just yet. The only other higher math course that was still opened conflicted with my english class, so I had to drop that. It also over lapped by ten minutes of my music appreciation, so I had to drop that too, which pissed me off. So I lost my only two music classes, and all the other ones were filled. My schedule is now so messed now that I kind of just dont want to go to school. Whats the point of going to college is Im not in any classes I originality signed up for?
So that was monday. I left school all pissed off and wanting to kill someone and came home to find my mother crying. Turns out my uncle was in a motorcycle accident and is in intensive care. So we went up to visit him, although he was asleep the entire time. We didn't get home til late. But wait, there is more.
This morning, Tuesday July 26th, the nursing home called to say that my grandmother is being unresponsive. So we went up there, and she is so frail and fragile looking that is made my mother burst into tears.
I found out something about me today as well. When I get depressed, I become cold and distant. It is a trait that I truly hate, and I can't understand why I do it. Any time someone tried to touch or comfort me I just spat some mean reply at the and moved away. After doing so I would feel horrible, yet I didn't apologize. Maybe it is just the stress of seeing to of my family members pretty much on their death beds, but it still isn't a good enough reason to be so inhuman. I couldn't even comfort my mom. I wanted to, but every time I got up to move closer to her this feeling swept over me and i just moved away.
Does anybody know of something that does that sort of thing to person? Or am I just demented in some messed up way?
Anyways, I think I am going to stop rambling for tonight. I kind of feel like a big whine ball, and I hate dumping emotions in large spiels so I'm gonna stop. Oh, and Mook? I am seriously sorry and apologize for the ridiculous wait for your post. I tried typing one up but me being all messed up right now it was rather dark, so Im going to retype it. I'll be sure to to get one up before the week is done.

27 / 08 /2011 Round about's 11:40pm
I'm ba-ack! Did I miss anything?
Since Tuesday I've been staying at a friend's house since he has had a week off of work, and I really wanted some R&R. He'd gone to a place called Margaret River but had an argument with a few of the people he was staying with and decided to come back early.
So I got to his place about 10pm-ish, went to get Mc Donald's with them (first time I've eaten it in a few year's) and helped him and another friend finish off the rest of their alcohol (because that's what friend's do, they help eachother out haha), and crashed out on a matress on the floor with him and his puppy
I had some vivid dream's too. In the dream, I was in a place called Rockingham in Australia and there was some sort of festival going on at a school. At this school there were a lot of people dressed in costume's. For some reason one of my other friend's was there sitting at a table dressed as The Joker from Batman. Everyone was listening to cool music and swapping Pokemon card's, I had a few good one's! I think there was a Ratata but I cant remember the other one.
I ran around a lot in the dream. For some reason in my dream's I'm often running or walking through market's, or corridor's, staircases etc. I've had a few dream's at beaches, amusement park's or schools as well.
There were also horse and cart races and I was sitting at one cart where there was a guy dressed up as two llama's - one was white with a bridal veil on it's head and the other was brown with a bow tie. The guy explained to me that he was dressed up as two llama's who were getting married. I nodded. I have a very vivid imagination.
The rest of the week wasn't as eventful Spent the next night having a few drink's with them again, crashed out on the couch watching Jurassic Park (and have now rekindled my preoccupation for dinosaur's). My favorite character is that Ian Malcolm dude, he's cool!
I dont know if you've seen the movie but here's a small recap if you haven't... or even if you have and cast remember most of it!
Guys: OMG Other guys: OMG Dinosaur: OM NOM NOM! Almost Everybody: (dead)
One of my favorite scene's in the movie, apart from the first T-Rex scene (and it's one of my favorite facial expression bit's in the movie too) is when the T-Rex starts munching on the tires of a jeep for whatever reason, and then we get a reaction shot from my favorite character Ian, who's expression is a lot like Alan's (another main character), only since we see it right after the T-Rex destroys the tires, it kind of comes across as him being scared for the tires and not the kids who are trapped in the car.
It's okay, Ian, I thought those tires were nifty, too. They will be missed. *sob*
We didn't drink the Thursday night, just had a bit of a movie night. And on the Friday night we went and visited another friend in the city and listened to music on her balcony looking out at the city light's.
We got back around 12am and AGAIN, watched movie's. This time it was Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallow's. But just before my friend and I were settling down to lay on the matress we realised that his puppy had peed on it -_-'
Came home today and helped my mum out in the garden which was nice, and now currently watching Jurassic Park again... I tend to subscribe to alot of sci-fi, conspiracies, theories and UFO's
