Hello all, I’m going to do one of those song lyrics guess things! So yer, have a go!
1. Some in their solitary lives

3. I’m restless I’m wild, I fall but I try I need someone to understand

5. Bang, bang goes the broken glass and kill all the fags that don’t agree
6. Suddenly you find yourself alone, stepping out into the great unknown
7. And I feel as thought I’ve been here before

10. I’m not acting like myself, playing the role of someone else
Well, that was fun!
I think it’s fun trying to guess other ones!
Well, I cut and dyed my hair, it’s short dark brown red now!

On my own here we go

2006-01-15T21:55:06Z

Hello all, my hasn’t it been a very long time since I last wrote a novel to you all. I last wrote just after Christmas, which was a VERY long time ago!
OK, I should do a head count of everything I got for my birthday…
Mum and Dad: a phone, YAY, it’s a flip, and it’s cool, it has poly ring tones, and at the moment it is little too late coz I downloaded it. It has a camera, and the pictures are really clear. Anyway, it looks really awesome, and it works, which is a huge improvement from my old one… and it has this earphone thing, that you put in your ear and this microphone hangs near your mouth and you plug it into the phone and you can talk on it without the phone even being open. So it’s like a hands-free thing, coz you can put the phone in your pocket while you talk to someone.
Ellie, Gary, Donald, Daisy, Anna and patch: (yes, I still get presents from the pets) this really petty necklace and matching earring set.
Nan and Da: a belt and watch. They are both green, coz I told my Nan Green was my fav colour, so she got my everything green, almost enough to turn my of it.
Aunty Betty: I told her I wanted a new watch and belt, so she gave me $50 to get one, then nan and Da gave me them instead, so I got a new handbag, the Green Day DVD and some jewellery.
Rachel: My sister, got me a two pairs of earrings, a towel she meant to give me at Christmas but lost, and a green day poster, YAY! I had seen these posters in Big W and was gonna get one until I realised they were sold out, but Rachael got the last one, so that’s cool.
Liz: another green day poster, you can never have enough, but she got a different one, and I think it’s the hotter one, coz the one Rachel got me is a rolling stone one, and its paper, Liz got me a cardboard one. She also got me a green day badge.
LOL, I just thought my phone was ringing, but it was the song I’m listening to, I’m listening to Jesus of suburbia live, and the mic went all funny, and it sounded like the intro notes to “little too late” ring tone.
Anyway, I’m having a b’day party next week, YAY!!! it’s like the first big party I’ve had for a few years, the last big one I had was at our old place and it was people from my primary school, so it was AT LEAST 3 years ago… lets me track back all my birthdays, last year Morgan, Rachael and I went shopping, year before, I was in Hobart with my Grandparents, year before I went to the beach with Mum and Dad, got terribly sunburnt then my friends and I had pizza on the river bank. Wait, it’s not fitting properly… oh well, it was a VERY long time ago! Ok! It’s the first big one I’ve had here, so yer, and this is my 3rd year living here.
Ok, details about my party… we are going to see Valiant then after we are coming to my place for pizza, and then just hanging around for a bit. Anyway, so yer…
Then on Thursday, (my parties on Tuesday), I’m getting my hair cut, because I am so fed up with long hair, I’m getting it like ear length, bit longer… the longest I’ll have it is the bottom of my chin, and mum agreed to me getting it this short… which is awesome!
This is what I WISH would happen, and there is a small possibility (Freia, this concerns you!). Either Thursday, after my hair cut, or Friday, I’ll be pilling onto the country link (train) and zooming to Strathfield (Sydney), to see Freia, YAY! Anyway, so how cool is that! But I still have to convince mum, buts the only time possible, because on Australia day we are going to a family reunion recreation weekend. And after that, is school.

Heyo fellow beings out there, how managed your day??? Anyway… Yep, I’m in a spaz mood!!! I was in a slightly creative mood this morning, and after making some odd piece up on the piano, I worked on this costume thing I’ve been planning for ages. The precise reasoning for this thing are a bit, fogged up, but they make perfect sense to me. anyway, the aim, I was making a gothic outfit, and I think I more so fit the description of a depressed elf than someone leaning towards the gothic style of life. It has a long black skirt, that touches the ground, and a black boob tube, and the thing I made, is a funny white veil thing. It wraps around and is all layery, it’s not finished yet, but it looks cool, I think! It’s the right colours for a gothic style, but it’s too elegant (hence the elf theme).
Anyway, I have plans for that, but they are a surprise, for now!!! (I love putting you guys in suspense!) But if I want to have it finished in time, I’d better do a lot more work on it so it’s a good thing I’ve got all holidays. Things that need to be done to it, it need more layers, which is a bit tricky coz I kinda ran out of fabric, but I will make do, and it needs hemming, and I hate hemming that stuff, its that gorse stuff, that’s like see through, and it’s a pain to hem!!!
Anyway, then I need to get all the accessorises and everything, then I need to actually talk to mum about my plans, but she sort of accepted them before, I just need to finalize it…
I reckon the next delta release will be electric storm, it’s an awesome song, and on the DVD they made it really ‘spectacular’! Like, it’s awesome!!!
Anyway, I’ve just emerged from reading Eldest, it’s really good, now I’m in a spaced out mood, so I want to do one of two things, 1, raid mums draws and find more fabric to work on my costume, or 2, continue reading…
I might go the creative way first… (OMG, on the DVD Brian McFadden sounds so gay, like he goes ‘heeeeeell-oooooo’, and sounds really gay)

2005-12-28T07:53:15Z

hey, yer, it’s like OMG, she’s actually updating her LJ! Yer, M&D were like ‘stop writing letters to everyone, your becoming obsessed, which is crap, coz when I say I’m writing letters, I’m not always… things that fall under the category or writing letters:
Writing letters, that’s obvious
Updating LJ
Writing emails
Writing song lyrics
Writing very important letters and emails, about very important things!!!
Anyway, so mum gets a bit pissed if I’m writing too long! But she’s not here atm! Well, beebee, I want to see if you’re online at the mom, and yer, if you're not, well I’ll call you, that’s IF I can find your number, well, I’ll do my best!!!

i don't care what they say i don't care what they do!!!

2005-12-26T08:46:47Z

Heyo, tis me, again, nah, it’s someone else writing here!!!
Anyway, at the moment, I am listening to the live version of butterfly, it’s really cool, it ahs a couple of different notes in it, but it’s really good! As you may have wondered, I got the Delta Visualize tour DVD, and it’s so awesome!!! Anyway, the best song is last night on earth, coz it’s totally different, but it’s still just as awesome!!! Anyway, I won’t bother listing everything I got, not that I couple TOO much, you can never get too much, I’ll just go one about the best… I got two make up sets, a book on make up, ‘Eldest’, this book, and the best, was an MP3 player, and OMG, it’s tiny, it’s the size of a matchbox, and half of one side is filled with an LCD screen, and it plays movies, songs (duh), it stores and shows pictures, it has this thing where you can read text documents, so I have it filled with song lyrics, and you can also set it up so the lyrics scroll down as the song plays and light up as the words go. It records stuff, like you can plug It into anything that has earphone holes, and it records what is playing, and you can record yourself, like It has a microphone, so you can also record other stuff. anyway, what I can’t get over, is the size of it, and the screen which is not even an inch across, the picture is so unbelievably clear. It’s silver!!! And shiny!!!
So, what did youse all get??? Oh well, anyway, so I’m bored!!!
Well, I might shut up now, or at least try to!!!
OMG, “I don’t care”, there is a live version on here, and it sounds so awesome!!!
I’ll write some lyrics down, or what I can recognize!
Who cares what they say
That boy is working you
Be careful what you do
They say he’s nothing but trouble with an attitude
I’ll be need intervention
My friends with good intentions
Say if you don’t walk away
Girl you must be crazy
They don’t see through theses eyes
They don’t feel with this heart
They don’t know what it’s like
They’re not kissing your lips
Touching like this
I feel the passion and fire ignite me
I don’t care what they say
I don’t care what they do
They can lock me up forever try to stop me loving you
They tried to keep Romeo and Juliet apart
Babe it doesn’t matter what they do
I only listen to my heart

poor ellie

2005-12-20T09:15:43Z

OMG, I’ve found the funniest thing…
I made this collar for ellie and I was walking her around the yard on a lead… it looks so funny!!!

wondering. GC

If you want me to wait,
I would wait for you
If you tell me to stay,
I would stay right thru
If you don't wanna say anything at all
I'm happy wondering

Go!

Yeah, yeah!

Since I was a young man I never was a fun man
I never had a plan and no security
Then ever since I met you I never could forget you
I only wanna get you right here next to me

'Cause everybody(a-whoa)Needs someone that they can trust and...
You're somebody(a-whoa)That I found just in time

If you want me to wait,
I would wait for you
If you tell me to stay,
I would stay right thru
If you don't wanna say anything at all
I'm happy wondering.

Now my life is changing, It's always rearranging
It's always getting stranger than I thought it ever could
Ever since I found you, I wanna be around you
I wanna get down to the point that I need you

'Cause everybody (a-whoa)Needs someone that they can trust and...
You're somebody(a-whoa)That I found just in time

If you want me to wait,
I would wait for you
If you tell me to stay,
I would stay right thru
If you don't wanna say anything at all
I'm happy wondering

Go!

Yeah, yeah!

yeah, yeah...

Don't tell me the bad news
Don't tell me anything at all
Just tell me that you need me
And stay right here with me

If you want me to wait,
I would wait for you
If you tell me to stay,
I would stay right thru
If you don't wanna say anything at all
I'm happy wondering

If you want me to wait,
I would wait for you
If you tell me to stay,
I would stay right thru
If you don't wanna say anything at all
i'm happy wondering

hello all fellow passengers, as we embark on this journey try to remember as easy it is to fall in love with someone, it’s just as easy to be heart broken…
So how is everyone? ARGH, this computer is cursed, it’s in random and it keeps bringing up really sad songs and if you listen to the lyrics they all fit so well.
“You and me used to be together, everyday together, always. I really feel I’m losing my best friend I can’t believe this could be the end!”
How sad…
“You and me, I can see us dying, are we?”
Ok, I need some handy hints from you guys on how to get someone who’s avoiding you, to talk to you! Any suggestions? OK, a new song just came on, and it’s… Special K, OMG, ha, the codenames, you know who special K is??? Well Freia Doesn’t (the old lettuce, or half eaten apple!).

Heyo all love birds out there!!!
I have my interview tomorrow, YAY! and mum and I were working out what I could wear, and we realised I didn’t have any suitable shoes, so we went and got some. Like I didn’t have anything strappy, causal but nice, I only had thongs or joggers, or at the other end REALLY strappy high heels! Stilettos really! Well, the ones we got are high heel, but chunky high heel. I just measured them, they are 7 cm high!
So yer, no I’m trying to get used to walking in the damn things, they are a bit different!
Freia: Katie, or my Katie… if I remember
So Christmas is upon us again, goodie, but at least this year Christmas will be different! Mum’s working, so I’m getting up before 5, most likely 4:30, and I get to open one present! By the sound of it it’s a cool one, coz Mum’s like “then you can fiddle with it until I get home”. She’s only working until lunch time, and then we are going up to Rachael’s place to open the rest of our pressies.
Anyway, so I can’t wait…
It was funny, coz Rachael, my sister, just moved house, and I think she packed my presents somewhere and can’t find it, just by what I’ve hear her say to mum, I couldn’t help laughing!
Ellie has a really deep breath, she was just breathing on me and there was lots of … breath!

"why do you ahev to be so cold"

2005-12-16T07:55:20Z

OK, I was a bit brief before!
OMG, it’s now officially the Christmas holidays, like, school wise!
OMG, you know what, I think I’ve been turned of chocolate, coz it’s now twice in a row I’ve got some as a prize or something, and I haven’t eaten it straight away, instead I put it in my bag or pocket and eaten it later.
Anyway, last day was OK! It was, yer, just OK!
English, we watched drama performances, v boring, except the French one, with Liz and Mel and co! the bum one was cool too, but yer! anyway, we had maths second, and Mr O’Brien’s has been away for a while now, and he actually left work for us to do, on the last day! It was serious work too!!! Stupid bum, but Mrs Hart was like ‘screw that! Just don’t talk too loud’. I was playing hot chicken with Emma, and there was some really loud slaps going on, and all the guys were going ‘owww, ow, ewww’, it was funny, then Cameron goes ‘we know you hate each other now let it show!’ It was funny, but I gave in!
After recess we had our human movement party and had pizza and soft drink, it was good! then we had science, and on the way to science, Cameron said ‘lets go the long way’ and pointed up another set of stairs, and Laura and Josh started going up, but Cameron pulled Emma’s arms and said to let them be, then Laura came running back saying ‘don’t leave me alone with josh’. The josh was next to me and he goes ‘it’s like they think I’m gonna rape her or something!’ and as a joke… JOKE, I said ‘evidently they wouldn’t put it past you!’ Then he got majororly pissed at me and run of a started telling Cameron what I said. It was a joke, and I didn’t mean for it too sound mean. Then we were waiting for science and I was standing with Morgan and I was holding Morgan’s giant stuffed turtle and josh came up and was playing with the turtle, and I go ‘I’m sorry, it was a joke!’ and he gave the turtle back and ran of again and told Ben what I said.
Ha, this bits funny! I felt really bad, so I wrote a note explaining how I didn’t mean to be mean (wth, too many means!), and nobody was getting out of there seats, and I was in the back left hand corner, and he was down the front right hand corner, so I didn’t want her to see me, so I crawled behind my row (Freia, the science labs have like non see through desks) and Jordan was looking at me odd, then as I went behind Brent I scared him and eh screamed. Then I got to a point that I still couldn’t reach josh’s desk, but if I went any further, the teacher would see me. so I got up, ran up to his desk and put the note next to him, then ran back, and Jordan was watching me, and he gave this really weird look. Anyway, he didn’t even notice the note for ages, and then he turned to his side and saw it and was reading it. Anyway, the only reason I could write it was coz Morgan brought in pens and a paper to write a note to Rachael, but no one else had pens or anything, so he couldn’t really write back. Anyway, I thought it was funny, especially the look on Jordan face. I mean it must have looked wired, I was crawling long the floor!!!
Then, we had AHG, and I was kind of dreading it coz all the drama people wouldn’t be there, so that meant I would either be a: a loner, or b: hang with Emma and Laura, who hang with the guys, and Josh was most likely still pissed with me. anyway, I was waiting for the teacher to come, and I was standing with Sophie, and we were just standing in silence, and I was till holding Morgan’s turtle, and josh and Cameron came up and were playing with it, so that kind of, broke the ice a bit, then when the teacher got there, Josh ran in with Tommy (the turtle) and sat down, so I sat in front of Cameron and the whole lesson was pretty good. Josh kept playing whit the turtle and I kept stealing it off him, but he kept stealing it back, then Jordan got it, and so did Shannon! Anyway, then quiy drew a reindeer on the board, but it only had tow front legs and one back leg, so Cameron and I went up to fix It, and I put a fourth leg just in front of the back on, but it was WAY to short, and looked really bad, then camion tried to make it look like a leg by putting a round foot on the end, but ti only made it worse!!! the we just rubbed it of entirely! It was pretty funny. Laura was signing the board, so I wrote “Julie” but I put the star thing on the end, but I did it retarded, so I went to get the duster, but Cameron goes ‘no, wait’ and he tried to copy my hand writing, and wrote ‘Brookes’ after it. Just as he did the K, he goes ‘how do you spell it, and Laura goes ‘es’ and I go ‘s’ so he started putting an e, then tried to turn it into and s.
Commerce was gay! We ate the food Rachael brought and listened to the radio. Anyway, then we had to go back to our homeroom to clean up, and then we just hang around until the bell went, and I wanted to say goodbye to josh, but I missed him :’( which was a bum.
Then I hang around for ages, and then eventually walked home with Liz, Ian and Millie!

ALRIGHT! I went to Emma’s surprise farewell last night, and I was really good. I couldn’t be bothered explaining it all, but I felt pretty bad coz I must’ve been so annoying to everyone coz I didn’t really have anyone to hang around, so I just wafted between the odd few people. Josh started going on about Jordan, but I asked him if he could just drop it, and he did, so that was good.

Well, to explain why I haven’t put a cut in for ages is so I can go back and read my old entries of line!
Toddles!

OMFG!!!

2005-12-16T06:18:20Z

you know how i've been trying to get a job for ages... well, i FINALLY got an interview!!! YAYAYAYAY!!! it's for franklins, and it's monday, at 10:30, adn OMG!!!! it's SOOOOOO cool!

wanted to be

2005-12-12T08:15:36Z

And I wanted to be
giving you everything that she's not giving
and I wanted to see
coz I didn't believe what I'd been hearing

So, I’m trying to remember how today actually was…
First period, I got out of commerce! WOOT! Second period, got out of most of English, woot, then spent the rest talking, pretending to be working. Recess, like any normal recess. Human movement, we played Tee Ball. I spent the first 10 minutes of the lesson in the change room convincing Emma that she would play, coz she was crying, then I just go, “you're playing, whether you want to or not”, so she got up and we went out, and she actually had fun. See, Julie, the mentor *gag *. Anyway, I was always on 3rd base, and no one ever stopped there, coz they could normally just keep going. Cameron was the only one that stopped, and the first time, he said eh would do a jump when he got to home base, then I said he should do a cartwheel, and he said he couldn’t. then when it came to his turn again, he’s stoped at mine, again, and I had just finished yelling at Dorian about being a retard, coz he had tried to jump for this ball that was three times higher than he was, and I yelled out ‘you’re a retard’, then Cameron came on my base, and I went to say ‘so you can’t do a cartwheel’, but instead I said ‘so you can’t do a retard’. We just cracked up, and eh said he try, then I was like ‘cartwheel, that what I meant!’ In one round Jack was in the diamond, and he kept doing a girl scream, it was really odd.
Then we went to history and it was so gay! Stupid japs in the war. Ha, Freia, you're doing the same topic as us!
Lunch: hey, something exciting did happen a lunch. I was talking to Casey as we went out the back, and I was going on about Santa, and I go ‘ho, ho, ho’, and Tyler was right behind me with Daniel redgrove, and he goes ‘ho, ho!’. Like ripping me off. So I go ‘shut up you asshole’, and he didn’t have a come back, then he finally goes ‘eww, josh’s girlfriend’. Daniel redgrove was just ‘… josh fotherigham???’, anyway, I just go ‘owww, scary!’. Like really sarcastic, and they still didn’t have a come back, then I went of to my locker and they kept going. It was really funny, coz I beat them!
Anyway, I was telling Rachael about my little Tyler encounter, and I yelled out the ‘shut up you asshole bit’, then I realised Mr O’Brien was less than 3 foot away. It was funny but, coz he didn’t hear me.
Then we had… religion, and Emma chucked a spaz at Tyler too. I just broke a nail! Ok, I fixed it! Anyway, we had to do speeches, and some of them were really funny, especially Ians, he was like “um, I don’t know anything about ST Nicholas, but I’ll just stand here and pretend I do and keep talking so yer!”. Like that’s what he said. It was funny. Then Jordan got back on the topic of his thinking I’m a lesso, and Laura goes ‘are you’ and I go ‘no, Jordan just ahs a little fetish saying I am’, then she goes ‘well you did go out with josh!’ like as if to say I must be a leso to have gone out with him. Everyone says that, but it was funny. Then she says to him that he turned me into a leso, and then Emma said something to him about getting sex change!
Then we had history, again, yuck! And I got moved coz I was telling Emma and Kat about my Christmas shopping endeavour, and Josh just had to add to the conversation that eh had already done his. Anyway, then jack was asking me about one of the questions, so I was just yelling across the class where it was.
Then I went home, and I went shopping, to get the rest of my Christmas presents. I had started that on Saturday but the shops shut. Anyway, I got some more stuff! Then I came home, did my science homework, and now I’m hear! Wow! Oh, Rachael and jess gave out there Christmas pressies at school today, and jess gave me this soap and bracelet, Rachael’s was totally cute, it was a teddy bear, and a lip gloss, bath set and pack of bobby pins.
Well I can smell something burning! Mhh, well, I’m going to Emma’s party. Yay, I hope I’m not a major loner. I might just, not draw us much attention to myself as I normally do. keep a low…lower, profile! Can’t be that hard!
So, I have my Christmas pressies to give out at school tomorrow, I have like a whole 4! WOAH!
It was funny (ARGHHHHHHH! That flying free song came on Freia, argh!). Back to what I was saying, I was having a funny though today. I was counting how many people my friends have liked, this past two years!
Morgan: 5, I think… about 8 times
Rachael: 4, or something like that! That doesn’t include her fetish for matt. About 5 times
Me: 5, whoa, didn’t realise there were that many! And that doesn’t include the people I think are hot! And I’ve liked them 6 times!
Ok, I’m gonna get of this point!
“Now that you're outa my life I’m so much better. Thought that I’d be weak without but I’m stronger, you thought that I’d be broke without you but I’m richer.”
Ok, I’ll shut up now!!!

BTW, Freia, I got you're letter! Thankyou, I’ve almost finished you're BOS, so I’ll send it and you're Christmas pressie!

OMG, if any of you have the alanis morrisste album ‘so called chaos’, how funny is spineless!

Love Me No More

I toss and turn in bed
Can't get you out of my head
Even though you're so far away
I need you here with me
Oh boy, why can't you see
That I can't live without your love
When I close my eyes
I think of you
Well I wish I had you here with me
But there's nothing I can do, oh oh

[Chorus]
Counting every day that goes by
And the tears that I cry (tears that I cry)
You don't wanna love me no more
Wish that you could hold me tonight
I'm hurting inside
Cause you don't wanna love me
Cause you don't wanna love me
Love me no more

I tried to call your phone
But you ain't been at home
I need to find out where you are
So I can make you see
That you belong with me
For me there is no other love
When I close my eyes
I think of you
I wish I had you here with me
But there's nothing I can do, oh oh

[Repeat chorus]

All I know is that I can't live without you
Ooh, but I wanna know
What made you feel this way
I'll be right here for you (right here for you)
And everything that you do (thing that you do)
But how can I get close to you
When you don't feel the way I do, ah hah

[Repeat chorus to fade]

Falling for you, you finally caught me

2005-12-11T06:57:57Z

According to the pedometer I have on at the moment, I have done 7,678 steps so far today! How exciting Is that! *cough cough * anyway!
“Seems we played a game, but lost along the way. Somewhere we went wrong. I didn’t have a clue. Should’ve never let you go: baby don’t you know, it was all in my mind. Was I such a fool to let you get away, and now everyday there’s nothing defend? My head was in the clouds, and when I look around, I won’t give up on you this time again.”
I found a funky song!
If I could turn back time I never would’ve thought that I could lose you boy but now I know
I should’ve never let you go
If I could have one wish I’d be the first to tell you this is never what I wanted, no
I should’ve never let you go
Yep, just another one
I thought you weren’t my type
Now I believe in love at second sight
Got me, you got me where you won’t me
I'm yours and nothings gonna stop me
Got me, you got me where you won’t me
I’m you girl
Got me, you got me where you won’t me
Falling for you, you finally caught me
Got me, you got me where you won’t me
I’m your girl
I’ve found all theses I haven’t listen to for ages, and I know all the words to them coz I used to listen to them so much. So yer, I could write down all the “best bits” out of all of them, or most of them, but that could mean I wrote most of the songs down! So I’ll try to sign along and talk at the same time! ARGH! I found a freaky song… like the lyrics seem deeper than any other ones! Mhh, I’ll get over it!
“Is it a crime that I finally realise, you were missing all along? Still I don’t have you and I’m torn in two, now it’s time to say goodbye”
it’s one of those songs that make you want to cry! It’s really sad! OK, I’ll get over my little music fetish… and it is because of this little fetish that I want a career in music! WOOT! Well, at least I think I do, just haven’t mentioned this to mum and dad yet!
OMG, I wrote this funny, bit, on the piano, and it reminds me so much of, something! I’m not totally sure what it is, like, it’s slow and spooky, and somewhat reminds me of lord of the rings. Anyway! So, at the moment, music is quite frankly the only interesting thing in my life at the moment!

but i was born to try

2005-12-10T08:11:33Z

I seem to have done something to the microphone on this computer, which is a big pain in the bum, but it has upsides! I spent half an hour trying to change the microphone setup, and couldn’t, then I left the computer, and came back, and it had changed itself, and now I can’t get it back. How it was before, was if I speak into the microphone while recording, when I stop it, it will play it back to me, and if I play music while recording, it will sounds distant and crappy coz it’s coming from the microphone. What I was trying to make it do, record music as it is played, like record it from inside the computer, not coming out of the speakers, and it has seemed to set itself like that, which is what I wanted, but now I can’t get it back. It’s not a big deal yet, coz I’m currently recording predictable without its words, which is what I wanted it for, and I have a heap of other songs I’ll record like that, but I really hope I can fix it back!
What I have done today, comparing, nothing! I got a new pair of board shorts, but do you know how hard it is to get a pair that match your swimmers, coz my swimmers are pink and brown, so my board shorts a heap of pinks and yellows. I’m not all that terribly fussed on them, but anyway. I got dads Christmas present, and I was going to get all my friends presents too, but the shops all shut!
I played born to Try on the piano several times and sung along, and I can paly it without looking now, which is cool. I’ve even got to a point where I can do an acceptable imitation of that shocking note. Freia, I can do 2 and a half octaves, and that note in born to try, is like 3 notes from the highest I can do! grr~! I reckon it would be so cool to preform that song! Oh yer, I can so see me getting up *cough * actually I can more see a repeat of last time, an OMG-I-think-my-heart-is-about-to-die mode! When I was up there doing not me not I, I could feel my heart going a million miles an hour!
Mhh!

yep, i've gone quizy too!

You are a Rocker Girl!

If you don't have musical talent, you've got a talent for picking out great CD's.
Music rules your life - and you've got the best MP3 collection of anyone you know.
Many guys find you intimidating, but a select few think you're the catch of a lifetime.
Start hanging out in more used record stores, and you'll find love with a fellow rocker!

What Kind of Girl Are You?

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who have a split personality - cold as ice on the outside but hot as fire in the heart.

In love, you feel the most alive when your partner is patient and never willing to give up on you.

You'd like to your lover to think you are stylish and alluring.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was insecure and in constant need of reassurance.

Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.

Your risk of cheating is 100%. You are not suited for a monogamous relationship.

You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.

In this moment, you think of love as something you can get or discard anytime. You're feeling self centered.

What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

You Passed 8th Grade Math

Congratulations, you got 7/10 correct!

Could You Pass 8th Grade Math?

You Are 12 Years Old

Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe.

13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.

20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.

30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!

40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

What Age Do You Act?
