Yeah! Go Wallabies! 30-13 against South Africa!

Haha, today I was talking to Olivia on the train, and somehow Matt came up. Then she told me about a conversation about him that she had with Meka. Meka just casually says: "Olivia, if he's so perfect, why would he be going out with you?" Olivia said she cracked up. It's pretty funny, I have to say.

I was just reading over my old posts, and would like to clarify that the time and date are now correct because I did eventually find my time zone.

OMG (from what we can tell) Olivia and Matt go out! She's been in luuurrrve with him forever! She's been pestering me to put this up.

Ok, Olivia was quoting Glee (kind of) and *attempting* to quote Lady Is A Tramp. The lyrics are "that's why the lady is a tramp." She instead said: "The problem is, the lady is a whore." ... =/ Jesus Olivia, you give me some good quotes...!

Watching the rugby (South Africa VS New Zealand) right now. Am at Alan and Pam's place now. Just had a lovely dinner: a bit of salad with an omelette that had a mixed herb filling, with kumara and a couple of kumara rostis. Went to the movies and watched Knight and Day today, which was good. Then came back and started subscribing to channels on Youtube, and continued re-writing my book out as I edit it. Quite frankly, I'm getting nowhere; it's still amateur and rough around the edges. I still need to work on plot and the finer aspects of wording. Oh well, I'm hardly world-class author material, so it doesn't matter anyway. Alan made a great apricot dessert thingy, but I think I ate too much at dinner so I couldn't finish all of it. Why has Dan Carter missed 4/5 kicks?! WTF?! Anyway, will go now and watch the game. Cya! :)

Went out for dinner last night (I'm in D'Auckland for the holidays, and stayed with my Aunt last night.) to the Howick Club. It was good, I has vego penne pasta with spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms and a garlic sauce. It was a $25 deal for dinner and dessert, so we all got dessert aswell. It was funny, we were all very "adventurous." Shaun. Meenal and Joc all had lamb shanks, while James and Wendy had pork ribeye. Then James and Shaun had deep-fried bananas, Wendy had a cappuccino cheesecake, Joc had pavlova and Meenal and I had mudcake for dessert. All coming with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream seated on a slice of orange of course. Then we returned home and watched cougar town before toddling off to bed. This morning I got up, watched the end of Get Smart, had a shower and ate peanut butter toast with a glass of water before coming to check out the eReader. Cruisy life, eh?

Lol, my Aunt just got a new eReader and we're trying to work out the websites that sell the eBooks. (FYI websites, you need to make it easier to navigate your sites for those who are new to eBooks) :) Finally worked it out. I guess every story really does have a happy ending... :)

Haha, just read some of my old posts. I eventually decided on Global Warming as my speech topic, but my teacher still hasn't told me if I passed. Am watching a v-peat (repeat of the TV program V). Have spent the day unwisely according to some, but it's been damn fun. Have watched TV and done washing, gone on youtube and updated my music collection. Thinking about music, if we're supposed to buy music off iTunes (which, sadly, I do), then shouldn't all music be on iTunes? I mean, for those more inclined to illegally download wouldn't it make more sense to download music if you can get it for free and actually get it? Because I can't get some music that I'm looking for on the NZ iTunes, and it is irritating me.

On another note, I'm looking forward to going to the MotoGP in Phillip Island, Australia, in October. Hope Casey wins! Have just rediscovered Katharine McPhee, the runner-up of the fifth season of American Idol. She is awesome! Over it, Love Story and Home are amazing songs, you should listen to them.

In Classics we have moved on to Roman social life, which I'm really excited about. When I was about ten I had this mega obsession with the ancient world and endeavoured to find out everything I could. This mostly involved Rome, Greece and Egypt, but I know a bit about other civilizations like China and the South American ones. But I'm really excited about the new topic, and I really enjoyed the last ones of Gods and Goddesses and The Odyssey, plus I'm looking forward to the last topic of Art and Architecture; Pompeii and Herculaneum. That reminds me of what I'm hoping to do next year for school; history, art history, english, classics and biology.

Anyway, I really have nothing to say and am just typing for the sake of it, so Imma go now. Cya! xoxo :)

K, sorry this is depressing for me and I know that no one wants to know but I need somewhere to vent, and since that's why I created this blog, I'm going to use it for just that purpose.

Ok, so my mum has this Omega watch that my dad gave her like, twenty years ago. He died nine years ago, and I'm still clinging to everything that is left of him. (Yeah, I know, probably stupid and childish). Anyway, the face-plate (just a tiny ring of enamel around the edge of the glass, nothing important to the function of the watch) fell off, and now her boyfriend's buying her a replacement, which is really sweet. The catch? They're six thousand dollars, and insurance is paying some for the breakage of the last watch. Sound all g? Not quite. In order for them to pay up, they want the old watch back, which is where I start to break down. I can't handle losing it. I have been holding out for that watch for years. Every time she got a new watch, I'd ask for the old one. I always saw that watch as mine. I'm an only child, and I will inherit everything one day. That watch was one of the things I was looking forward to having and treasuring the most, right next to my parents' engagement and wedding rings. I know that I need to let go, but the last memory I have of my dad (the only real memory that I have, since my parents split when I was two, and I can't really remember the time that I watched Beethoven [the dog movie] with him as I was four) was of him being bloated from the chemo with a massive scar on his head from his shunt operation. I need everything that I can hold on to because I'm not over this. I still think about my dad every day. I know that you don't care, but this is important to me, and I need this outlet. And I hope that if anyone else has a similar situation to me that they can leave a comment for me to make this easier for me.
