I'm so excited it's killing me! I can hardly bare to wait any longer. I've been waiting forever for this! I'll finally get to see some of the world... Well, my life is currently so sad I have ABSOLUTELY nothing else to report! So, i guess this is goodbye! Oh yes, can you say angry?  :: +Memory :: Tell a Friend :: Reply
Anyway, then I went out and got 24 Season 5 on DVD. Possibly the happiest person alive right now... While on this topic, I just thought this icon was beyond funny... That aside, I had a real pang of guilt/confusion again. I'm pretty sure I want to leave SA, I'm aiming at global citizen. UN ambassador or the likes, but today I really felt like I was losing my home. Went to see an AMAZING movie called 'Faith Like Potatoes', South African production, and I sobbed my eyes out while watching the Natal Countryside and listening to the story about my home... It was amazing. It's a true story about a South African farmer who gave his life to the Lord after a very rough time in Zambia, and the incredible stories and miracles he saw during his lifetime. It's an amazing testimony and great story of faith (ironically) and hope. I was a amazingly moved and warmed by the power God can have in a person's life. Anyway, I've ended up a bit up and down really, so reading your responses to my Stalker Meme thing was great... You all scored amazingly well, I think Ali topped it... her suggestion that I'm dating Jack Bauer was amusing... Although, Rowan's suggestion that I was dating Ms Hosking was even more so... :P Thank you guys... You've all been an amazing part of my life and have, maybe unknowingly, helped me through some of the toughest things I've ever had to deal with. I love you all to pieces and then some, you are a part of me each of you and I can't bare to think of leaving you. Know that you are one of the greatest joys of my life. Ali, we've been through Hell and back again. Thank you so much... Ok, I'm done pouring out my overly emotional heart. Just continue to be the most wonderful people the world has on offer.
Not to mention the very clumsy scene in which a man tries to parade as Julie doing a number called, "The Shady Dame from Seville..." Hysterical. Also pure magic was watching famed prude Julie performing great hits such as, "Le Jazz Hot" and "Crazy World" dressed as a man pretending to be a woman. Double Trouble. (Tee Hee, like Hitler's Honeymoon...) Anyway, I'm off to bed now, my head's spinning like a top. Weird fever...
Anyway, back to the really bizarre story I wanted to tell: I logged on to Fox 24, the '24' forum where I'm a moderator and officially the representative of Audrey Fans everywhere... :P So, I log on and I see I have a message from a 'GraicieRaines16', so I'm thinking, hey, another fan (Audrey's surname is Raines in 24) I won't be on my lonesome! Yay! So, I click on the message and her profile comes up and her signature says that she's the daughter of Audrey and Jack and that her name is Graicie. I was a little confused, between you and me and everyone who watches '24', there are no children involved... But I keep reading as she starts speaking to me whistfully about how it would be great to have her father back... UM. I was scared to clarify that I'm not actually Audrey and that Jack was actually from the UK and NOT related to her at all... So, I just had to share that in my weirded out state. Oh yes, just had to ask...  WTF?!?!
Anyway, another shamefully uneventful day. My Geometry exam was pure hell. After all, I did leave out three 6 mark questions... Damnit, English better be easy... As must History. It's really quite frustrating, I'm distraught about my marks and yet, couldn't really care anymore. I'm just in a weird sort of limbo for the moment. As for my family, that's another story alltogether. (Not to mention a huge kettle of fish...) My mom's moving up on Sunday, but I'll only see her next weekend because I'm writing English, Chemistry and Add Maths this week. (Dear Lord, please kill me early.)My dad's on his own cloud... For all who don't know: My dad's getting married on January 20th, so he's far from reality. Sometime between now and leaving for China, I have to have my dress fitted and I think I'm going to go mad if one more person asks me if I have right shoes/bra/underwear for the fitting. For crying in a bucket. (Which is a slightly odd concept if you ask me...) All that aside, though, I'm slowly beating my stress level. I still feel horrible at times, but I can now safely say, it's almost over and then you can relax a while before having to think about anything again. Talking about going away, I mentioned in a '24' thread that I was heading over to the UK and two guys were very keen to meet me... My schedule filled up very quickly, so Ali, if anyone strange asks you what we'll be up to in England, we have a very busy schedule including lots of touristy engagements that cannot be broken for internet meetings... A little scary. Anyway,my life continues to be SUPER boring, so I'll just end it here. If that wasn't weird enough for you, try this... And if that wasn't weird enough, you need help. Ok, bye! EXAMS, EXAMS, EXAMS! I'm so sick of studying! My head has reached capacity I'm sure of it... Of course I am leaving for China in TWO WEEKS! So i can't complain. I hate stress, I get so depressed and then I eat... Great. I need to start getting more exercise, my brother wants me to run with him, but I can't because I freaking out about exams.... Sigh. Oh well, I guess I'll live. Now on top of all of this, the opportunity to study in Australia has arisen and I'm absolutely torn. I don't know what's going on with my life. My heart says GO TO AUSTRALIA, my family says DON'T GO TO AUSTRALIA! It's so confusing, because I'd be leaving all I've ever known and my friends... I just don't know anymore, I just feel lost. (See my icon... Yeah.)
Of course, my hopes were tragically dashed when I realised that tonight is the choir festival at the Linder. I'm getting home at eleven... two words. ENGLISH MODERATION... AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Got to prepare my speech and I'm getting home at eleven... (HEAVE!) Ok, calming down. I will be cool, calm and collected like one should when one realises one life is too stressful to bare. :strained smile:: 'Cause today is 'Positive Day', Thursday is 'Positive Day'. Beam. Anyway, all that aside i'm actually all right. I was feeling a bit weird in maths, kind of hyper, but more on the frantic side. My sugar levels must have been messed... Anyway, thanks to Ali for her help. The "Can I bite your arm?" comment aside... :P To which I responded, "Er, how would that help ME?" In case you were curious. Well, I have nothing further to say, so instead, just because I'm obsessed and can... I will leave you with another picture of Audrey...  This was part of Kim Raver's(the actress who plays Audrey) portfolio that was, in turn, part of her request that they reconsider her for Season 6. For which she has been confirmed, along with James Cromwell and, awesome above awesome, Eddie!
It's really been forever since I updated my journal! Prelims are, at long last, over and I can once more settle into a regular routine. Well, until finals that is. Buggrit. Anyway, my life has been remarkably uneventful because of my studying, but there are a few stories I have to tell. Firstly, I'm finally eighteen! To be honest, I don't feel much different, but it's great nonetheless. My dad's greatest concern was that I'm now old enough to vote. It was a weird celebration... Talking of celebrations Cathleen, we really must plan that reunion! It'll be awesome, like a hotdog... :) Secondly, I have succeeded in bringing down a group of the most heinous and horrible nature! They were called the Anti-Audrey League and they sent me hate-mail! Ok, to explain the above, I have to get onto a different topic first. Namely... 24! New programme that I am so obsessed with currently it's bizarre. But it's awesome, whatever. Anyway, I'm a huge fan of the character Audrey Raines. She's not as awesome as Jack Bauer, but at least she's human. And I think she's unusually pretty...  Well, she's not exactly popular with the 24 community as a whole and this group felt so strongly, they found it necessary to police forum boards and send threatening e-mails to all who seemed to be supportive of her character. So, I got a long e-mail about how they would do me and my family in if I didn't stop posting in favour of Audrey! So weird... GET A LIFE! Not that I can talk... So, I complained online about their unecessary act and got 723 hits from people who all thought it was complete bollocks and we managed to shut down their website. (I'm not kidding, they had Death-to-Audrey poetry and everything...) I've also grown somewhat attached to Chloe. (She's on my icon...) She's a computer tech and she's ill-tempered, almost like Ali, but with more frowning... :) She makes all the witty comments and last week she tazered a guy who was trying to pick her up in a bar... Respect. Anyway, that all aside, I'm finally feeling a bit more confident about my future. I'm studying Law, but I've decided I'm going to join the Royal Australian Navy... I know, it sounds very weird and odd, but I think it'll head me in the right direction as far as international politics is concerned. So that's what I'm going to do. No, it has nothing to do with the fact that I used to watch JAG... Well, that's all for now! I promise to stick around and pop in more often... Cheerio! |
