"But Thomas' poems just flows, like the contours of a woman's body, like tears down a grown man's cheeks, like sweet music and straight vodka shots down your throat. It just melts you, it's that beautiful."
My friend, Snowman, writes beautifully. I suppose it stems from the fact that she reads so much, discusses her thoughts, and researches. She is an intellectual.
Also, apologies to Unicorn for the "waiting" post. i wrote it and then thought that somehow it seemed familiar. I thought no more of it til your comment and then I realised... I apologise for that.
This post is a bunch of nothing. I'm just avoiding English homework right now. J's quote was so quotable, I just wanted to get it down here. Even if half my readers read her blog. :P
Oh, and everyone should e-mail Snowman more !!!
Haha. I always wanted a penpal. When I was young, I had a few. There was something incredibly fun about getting mail, all those words put together by someone just for me... I had a penpal from Africa (she was a second cousin thrice removed or something) and a few "keypals" before the invention of MSN. Fun times.
I almost had another "keypal" who I started emailing to, but he only replied once. Ah well. People are busy I guess.
I do know that I'm expecting two things in the mail soon... a package from Kylie and a letter from McCauley (once he finishes it, that is).
Time to hop, skip, jump to .... ENGLISH!

Life is just one big waiting room...
... a quote my grandmother continually says, every time we're stuck waiting for something. But there is an element of truth in it. We're always waiting for the next adventure, the next hurdle, the next mistake, the next happiness.
Or in my case, you could just be waiting for your turn in the shower. Haha.
When are we going to actually enjoy the present? We want to get through school because we're sick of being told what to do by teachers and parents. Once we're on our own, we want to get a better job, we wait for a big promotion. We wait for our hearts to be broken, just to wait for "The One" to come along. We count down to Christmasses, birthdays (although, probably a lot less once you've past the age of 25), holidays, reunions.
Then once we've got our dream house, the kids have moved out, we've retired on a nice sum of money, take a look in the mirror and suddenly your face is nothing but papery wrinkles and you think "Where has my life gone?"
That is the time when the only thing left waiting for is the inevitable knock of Death on the door.

Wow it's so long...
Best quotes of the week:
"We're Number One in the Number Two business." - on the back of a waste truck.
"After all, it's no fun living off baked beans while trying to get rich." - Investing Without Fear (article by Helen C-K)
"Most of the time in our world, truth is just opinion." - Anil's Ghost (book by Michael O)
"Once, a love-struck couple got their braces stuck together and they had to call in the SES." - Prelude to a Miss (article by Justin H.)
Now for ramble.
Next. As my St Ives High buddies (as well as anyone in year 12 in Australia) will know, we're getting results back this week. I've decided to stop caring so much about the HSC as my wonderful Economics teacher reminded us, it is indeed not the end of the world. You still wake up the morning after.
I've also realised that it's impossible for everyone to be good at everything. I know this seems obvious, but coming from someone who can study for hours and hours for maths then STILL fail, I have to realise that no-one's brain works the same way. Some people are really good at maths - they have the logical thinking and photographic memory required. Some, like me, won't ever be able to grasp that skill. I've also realised that some people are naturally gifted at English. They write so fluently and effortlessly. I know many people will agree it's great to read a well-written and interesting story, or watch a movie with good dialogue and an awesome storyline.
Anyway, all that doesn't really have to do with anything but I just felt like writing. =) I also notice that randomly in the middle of the day I will think of something to write about on my blog.. but I won't have the capabilities (such as being stuck at school) to go and write a post, or I may not have the right frame of mind for writing.
---- Don't you just love those moments when you have a creative inspiration and also the needed level of effort to form a masterpiece? They're so rare for me. Ah well, I'll always enjoy reading the creations of other people.
In conclusion, there is no conclusion.

Now for ramble.
I've realised that when I press "Enter" on this it doesn't go to the next line, it just creates room at the bottom. Why? How can I rectify this problem?

I like new stuffs
Todayyyyy.
I gots a new USB flashdrive. Amazing, 5 years ago a USB twice the size, twice as ugly, with a quarter of the space cost 4 times the price that this one costs.
I also gots a new headphone and mic set. My daddy (who bought it for me <3) says I look like a pilot. XD It's sexy. Music and shiz sounds FANTASTIC through it. Even the songs I hate sound awesome. I can't even hear myself type when music is playing. I'm in my own little world. =)
Firefox updated to a new version. Now we can have pretty background "personas". I has a sea turtle! It looks pretttyyyyyy cool.
Kirra thinks more people should update their blogs so she can continue stalking your lives. =)
Much love. xoxoxox

MWC
Out of everyone I've met this year, you've made the biggest impact on me and my life. You're one of the most genuine, kindest people I know. You listen to what I have to say and you're a great conversationalist. We can talk for hours about nothing and everything, and I still enjoy every moment of it. Even just staring at you (watching Youtube) or listening to you ramble on is the best part of my day. Your smile could light up a room, and it's easy to bring it to mind now. You're funny and a lot of fun, but you know when to be serious. You're nice and awesome in all the best ways. You deserve a good, happy life, and I want you to know that I appreciate you and your friendship more than words can say. I hope that I know you for a very long time, as I couldn't imagine life without you in it anymore.

The poor sods who bought this book.
Sometimes I think the life of a hermit would be good. No stress, only yourself to think about, and none of the daily whinges and teen angst and problems that come with being a human with human friends and family. I suppose it would be sad though, only a dog or a fish or maybe a tree to talk to.
If you're super bored there's always Solitaire. Or you could try cooking yourself all these dishes.
Hey look, Jennifer. I started a blog!
It took me three tries to get past the word-coding thing. You know, they make the shape of the words rather difficult to decipher sometimes.
Plans change very fast. Today, Nicole was going to come over, but she rang me up to say she was sick. So here I am, instead, rambling on. =D
McCauley's booked his ticket to come to Australia. If you care enough about me you'd already know this.
Yesterday I took a driving lesson. I love the fact that each hour is timesed by three now. My instructor, Rob, always goes over time, so I've jumped up to about 83 hours now!!
I always have these nightmares in the holidays that school is starting again soon. I even have it on the last day of the holidays... But eh, we're still not halfway through. I've enjoyed it, mostly, so far.
