Saturday....

Took Juliette to basketball today. She's seven years old. I forgot how many questions seven-year-olds ask: What bus are we taking home? How do we get to the bus? How long is the bus trip? What's your favorite kind of chocolate? When does the bus come? What's that? How long til we get home? Where are we now? What does that say? Did you see that? Why's that sign there? Do we get off at the next stop? What's your favorite colour? Is this our stop? Do we have to walk down that street to get home now?

And so on, and so forth... It was a long morning. But good. And I made money, so then I got to go dress shopping with one of my most favorite people in the world! =D Though I probably drove her crazy trying to find a dress for my formal. I'm terrible at clothes shopping. I don't know what I want, I just know what I don't want.... Sorry Katie! It's okay. We found a dress, finally ... its blue! I like it.

Came home through Newtown ... on Halloween. So weird! We saw a horse-drawn carriage with steampunk-style goths riding it for a funeral. Kinda cool. Also a guy dressed in ragged clothes with fake blood all over his face, staggering down the street like a zombie ... I worked out that I don't really want to be in Newtown when it gets dark. That's when the vampires come out....

Got back and played Raving Rabbids with Katherine, Jono, Dan and Justin. SO MUCH FUN!! They stayed for dinner and we got slurpies after. Now watching Terminator 2 with Katherine and Justin. I love you guys.

Oh, and NaNoWriMo starts in 2 hours!!!!!!!!! Can't wait. ^_^

The clock is ticking...

NaNoWriMo starts at midnight!!!!! AHHHHH!!!!! I'm so excited!!!!!!!!!!! ^_^

Tomorrow always seems better than today...

Nothing much happened today ... and yet, a lot of things did.

I completed my TAFE application, finished all my current photoshop pictures, including the biggest project of my youth group, iPod ad style, I went to the library and saw a sign that said "NO LOITERING. Library Staff and Police on patrol in this area" and had this funny image in my head of a timid librarian patrolling a dark corridor with a flashlight; I went to Officeworks and got all my pictures printed it off, saw Gaylene at Officeworks, and while waiting for my pictures to print had a texting convo with Katherine about formal dresses. And now she's taking me dress shopping on Saturday! =D So excited.

Yeah, very much looking forward to tomorrow and Saturday. The pool and Youthsurge tomorrow. Formal dress shopping and sleepover on Saturday. Huzzah!

Sorry, that was kind of a boring post. But I just felt like writing it. After I do all this fun stuff there should be more exciting posts to write.

♥ eternity makes it possible to love someone forever ♥

For the people in my life with whom I cannot wait to spend eternity, and am constantly grateful for:

"It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realize just how much you love them." - Agatha Christie

"If I had a rose for every time I thought of you, I'd be picking roses for a lifetime." - Swedish Proverb

"If I never met you, I wouldn't like you. If I didn't like you, I wouldn't love you. If I didn't love you, I wouldn't miss you if you ever went away. But I did, I do, and I if will."

"If you have to think about whether you love someone or not then the answer is no. When you love someone you just know."

"Love is missing someone whenever you're apart, but somehow feeling warm inside because you're close in heart."

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking.
It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. - I Corinthians 13:4-8

"I think we dream so we don't have to be apart so long. If we're in each others dreams, we can be together all the time." - Hobbes, from Calvin and Hobbes

I made it myself.

I just want things to go faster....

Okay, so I told you about the texts I've been getting in the morning from one of my friends ... only sometimes I miss them. Well, I thought I'd be clever and leave my phone on loud overnight in case she texted me this morning, considering that I had to get up quite early anyway to take a friend's child to basketball, so I could use her text as an alarm. Turns out this was a stupid idea, because the only text I received (at about 7am) was from the mother of the child saying that her daughter was sick and therefore my services were not required until next week. Yay.
Now that I think about it ... it's quite obvious that my friend was not going to message me this morning. It is a Saturday. We are both teenagers. We like to stay up late on Friday nights. So anyway, this post is accompanied by the title and this picture because I'm currently being very impatient. I didn't get my sleep-in which just means more hours I have to endure until 5pm Sunday, which is youth group, which I am very excited about. And above all I just wish Jesus would come back right away.

My writing space!

I promised myself I would ACTUALLY USE my writing space during the month of November for NaNo. It's really is a cool writing space ... I'm just too lazy and like to lay on the couch instead....
So, to make myself more eager to use this coolio space, I'm putting some pictures up. Here you go:

Now, I'm hoping you can see the numbers in the picture that I have added for your convenience. Only problem is, if you can't see them then they're obviously not convenient. Hmm. Well, I'm gonna go along like you can see them, sooo.....

1. Is the stack of manila folders I keep in a folder-holder (hehe). Handy for dividing all my printed-off material into organized piles.

2. Is the chair that I do not like. Probably part of the reason I don't like to use this space very much. When I am a rich and famous author (unlikely, but hey) I'm going to by a wonderful leather chair on wheels that's so comfy I'll want to eat dinner up in my study, which my husband will not like (yes in my fantasy of being a rich and famous author I am also married - and I would like to think at least that part is likely).

3. Is my little notebook laptop. His name is Trent. He's a bit small and a bit slow but don't pick on him ... he's not a Mac but he tries his best! Go Trent.

4. Is quite obviously, a Ghostbusters poster. I acquired it from an Empire magazine. Thank you Kristen, for introducing me to Empire.

5. Is the bulletin board. Pics of all my incredibly awesome friends. Take special note of the Scott Pilgrim drawing and the green badge next to the US dollar bill. It says "Vote for Katherine".

6. Is the white-board. Currently (meaning, in the photo) it says "PRACTICE LINES!!" "NaNoWriMo Prep" and "Costume Design" which I have done.

7. Is a pile of uni work crammed into a holder so it looks neat. trust me it is not. I can't find anything.

8. Is the stack of pencil cases and notebooks. Writing notebooks, drawing books, and my NIDA folder.


So yeah, that's my writing space. Next to it, is this shelf:

Which contains all my writing books an a few of my favorite books and plays. Though unfortunately,  I was an idiot and did not make sure that the shelf held all its contents before taking the picture. So missing from the photo are my beloved book "45 Master Characters" and a dictionary of idioms given to me by my parents. :)

So yeah. Cool.

A pig with whiskers.

Hi again. This is my cat. His name is Hektor.
But my brother secretly thinks he is a pig with whiskers.
He is incredibly fat and no one knows how that happened....

Here is his gorgeously handsome face that you cannot help but love...... 

And here is his not-so-gorgeous face....

Yes, he may be fat ... but that just means there's more of him to love ^_^
