Paintballing. Heaps of fun. But don't listen to people who say 'it doesn't hurt' or 'it doesn't hurt much' because it actually does. Although it all depends on where your hit and how close, your still likely to get at least one shot that makes you go 'sh*** that hurt'. But the thing is it goes away really quickly. Couple of 'ows' and you're right as rain. And it IS awesome. I mean, you get to run around a field being all commando - hiding behind objects, ducking in trenches, and shooting other people. Although I have to say the paint balls taste really bad, so avoid getting it into your mouth. (I was wearing a helmet, but a paint ball splattered on the grill over my mouth and I got a mouth-full of paint. So disgusting) But I guess it serves me right cuz I shot two other people in the mouth ;P
Random thought: why the hell was paintballing invented anyway? I mean, did someone just go 'I want to shot everyone without going to jail for murder' or did it kind of happen on accident? Like a solider in the middle of the war runs out of ammo for his gun, so he picks up a conveniently-placed ball without realizing and throws it at the enemy. And then starts thinking that hey, maybe it could be a sport! And he'd call it ball-throwing... and then after the war he discovers paint works better cuz you can tell who gets hit...
Yes, I know thats random and stupid. But seriously. Why did someone just decide to shoot people with paint? Seems weird to me. :S

I've got freckles... O.o
Seriously weird. I've got freckles on my calves and some on near my eyes I didn't have before. Damn sun... thankfully the ones of my face are fading, but the ones on my calves look like their there to stay. Damn. AND I WORE SUNSCREEN AND EVERYTHING!!! sheesh. Although I missed patches with the sunscreen that resulted in sunburn on feet, knees, and my head. As in scalp head. I didn't even know you could get sunburn there, unless you were bald or something. And with my lot of hair, you'd think I DEFINITELY couldn't. But it was mainly in the area of my scar, so thats probably why. Maybe I should back up a bit - I got the sunburn cuz I went on hols, to some place called Merribulla or something along those lines. It was a nice place, although it would've been nicer with a decent shopping mall. And not because I'm a shop-a-holic - although I do have my moments - but because I love the city. Small towns aren't my thing, and although Mer-whatever wasn't heaps small, it would've been bigger with a mall. :P
It did have some pretty good snorkeling - pretty fishies. Couple of things I learnt about snorkeling:
1. Beware of oysters. I have about nine deep cuts on my feet, hands and knees from getting a bit too close to oyster/mussel covered rocks. Pain... much pain...
2. Beware of sandy spots in the water. Lots and lots of sting rays. They were seriously stalking us - there wasn't a beach we went to that I didn't see at least five. Some were roughly the size of a dinner plate (well, maybe a couple of inches bigger, but that'll give you an idea) while others were seriously at least four or five feet wide. HUGE. Don't get me wrong, their beautiful and all, but when the tail of a four foot ray is sticking up right in front of you, its a little daunting. And when their pretty much EVERYWHERE and your constantly almost stepping on them due to their fascination with the ocean floor, it starts to get a bit creepy.
3. Beware of sisters. My sis J saw a tail of what we now presume was a sand shark under a rock when we were snorkeling, and really freaked. Except all she screamed was 'shark' so my over-active imagination turned into a whole 'Jaws' thing with great whites out to get us etc. She gave me a heart attack! So mad dash for shore. In the end we decided it was most likely a sand shark and ended up going back into the water. We didn't see it again though, so the mystery remains... Was it a sand shark, or was it something more... sinister?!! *Dramatic, Jaws-inspired music*
But yeah, I still had heaps of fun. Although I got sand everywhere. Which leads me to a random idea: magnetic sand. While your on the beach, its perfectly normal, i.e totally annoying. Then the moment you leave the beach, the magnets kick in and you can watch as all your sand goes flying back to the beach, leaving you sand free and even better, your clothes, car, hair, and swimmers sand free! Its perfect!
Although people who liked to use metal detectors on the sand to find other peoples stuff might have to find a new spot. I wonder if metal detectors work in water???

AH! THEIR GONE!!!!
B & E are officially out of here for the next five-and-a-half months. I'm officially moved into their room. And I'm officially freaking. Its kind of weird, actually. Its not the first time they've gone away or anything. But the longest they've gone away for is about a week. But yeah... I miss 'em already (which is just weird O.o) and I'm totally freaking out about their plane trip. I keep on thinking their either gonna crash and burn, or meet some really hot guy (okay, two really hot guys) and marry them and never come home. I don't know which one is worse at the moment >.>
Gah... I hate sisters...
Gah... I hate sisters...

7. Misery Business by Paramore
8. Stranger by Hilary Duff
9. Over my head - The Fray
10. Daughter to Father (Dave Aude remix) - by Lindsay Lohan
Another song I really really like is 'What I've done' by Linkin' Park, Chipmunk style.
Cute as hell.
*Yes, having his name on my list IS embarrassing as hell, but its a cool song.

Hot cars, hot guys...
All thanks to Summernats!!!! *sigh* sooo many hot cars... the boys ain't bad either, but the hot cars... there were Corvettes, Mustangs - even an Lamborghini! Although apparently the Lamborghini was just a kit, and not a real one, but it was hot anyway. Lots of muscle cars - blowers, (gets more air into the engines) huge engines that roar, and turbo (makes car go faster) galore. Then there were the pretty cars - side skirts, grates, spoilers, rims(Stuff that goes on the front and side of the cars, the stuff in tires, and the sticky-up thing on the back end of the car) - the lot. But they were REALLY pretty. ^.^
I know a lot of you are probably going 'shut up about cars' but one last thing... we watched the burnouts of two guys doing a faceoff. One of them blew his engine and had to get his car pushed off the track. The other guy - get this - had a 2500bhp car!!!!! HOLY COW!!!!!!!!! He completely blew his tires. But still... HOLY COW!!!!!!!!!!!

*Groan* no more...please...
Went to Black Stump. AWESOME!!!! Unlike last year, I managed to find some bands I like - Antiskeptic, Compliments of Gus, Lukas, Scat (jazz really isn't my thing but they were pretty cool, actually) and a few others that were okay. Got into the mosh pit for Antiskeptic, at the front; tons of fun, but I couldn't breathe properly until the next morning due to the ton of dirt I breathed in. Evil stuff.
No rain, but this year B.S did get a bit windy. And although it wasn't a problem most of the time, it did blow over a table that had been leaning against some chairs. Problem? It blew it right down the side of my knee/calf as I was walking past. Result? Much pain, and not being able to walk for the next four days. Bonus? Awesome yellow, green, blue, and purple bruise!
After the 4 days, when I could walk again, we went to Sydney for grandparents 50th anniversy. Good fun. Came back home, had to get settled back into school. Worked all weekend. More school, then I worked on Saturday. Found out some stuff about a really good mate of mine that now has added her to my 'worried' list, and got into a huge fight with one of the girls that thankfully was resolved. Sunday. Left church, completly stacked it, and wound up with really badly bruised knee and arm that luckily turned out to be a muscle strain, not a break. So. I spent a couple of days in a sling, but now, thankfully, I can now move my arm again, so I will be working on Sunday. My knees pretty bad, though. I can walk and everything, just movement frequently results in these really weird muscle spasms that are a mixture of pain and just... weirdness.
In between all of that I've started choir practice for Christmas carols, currently in the middle of Global Leadership Summit (really challenging, actually!) and next weekend I'm getting my L's. (FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
So yeah, been just a little bit busy recently. And had really bad luck with the whole two injuries in like two weeks thing. *sigh*
On the plus, got feedback from mate K about Gamenian - she loved it! Which is a huge relief, cuz I tend to be extremly insecure about it. On another plus: FINALLY got past writers block, and Gamenian is now slowly moving into part two. Score.

Just a depressed little emo kid....
What the hell does emo mean, anyway? I know its short for emotional, (although thats still an 'apparently') but we're all emotional at some point int time. So why the hell do people still call me emo?
Generally, emos are:
1. Dressed in all black with that weird, (no offense to all you emo dorks) emo haircuts. (long, greasy, black, etc.)
I wear colors. Nuff said.
2. Listen to emo music.
WHAT THE HELL IS EMO MUSIC???? People are always all 'oh, thats emo music' then someone else is like, 'No, thats just heavy metal, THATS emo music.' before ANOTHER person is all 'no, thats pop. THATS emo music...' etc. If we where to go with the whole emo=emotional thing, then emo music=emotional music. I know thats a bit of a duh, but think about it. How many songs do you know that aren't about love, hate, revenge, yearning, lust, etc? Meaning - EMOTIONS!!!!!!
Now, I've been told Linkin' Park is emo, although I love that band to bits and will forever protest their not emo as all emos should be shot. I've also been told most of the music I listen to is emo. So.
Those really are the main two emo things. I'll admit to the emo music, but I look nothing like an emo, and I still know the meaning of the word smile. SO WHY AM I BEING CALLED ONE?!
Yes, I know, I'm probably overreacting, but add the 'your an emo' thing to yesterdays 'i'm worried about you' and you wind up with annoyed. My boss, as work yesterday, was all 'I'm worried about you. Are you okay?'
So I'm just going. 'Um. Yeah?' while she's asking me if everything okay at home, and if I have a jackass boyfriend she needs to slap. Like ha. As if I'll ever have a boyfriend.
But seriously. This isn't the first time. People just seem to think I'm horribly depressed. Or at least all the people at work. But seriously. I'm at WORK. Why the hell would I smile 24/7? Especially seeing as I think people who smile 24/7 are slightly psychotic. Not to mention the whole my job is currently quite stressful, especially when my bosses are giving me weird 'are you OK?' talks.
Oh yeah, and straight after the 'are you ok?' talk I got a whole 'the place was a mess last weekend' talk. Apparently when my boss came in the morning she spent an hour cleaning. An HOUR. She mentioned things like the fridges, and the coffee machine - things WE did. And seeing as I'm in charge, thats a 'things we did that I should've picked up on' we.
Yeah. I'm totally OK after having a huge shitload of stress dumped on my head.
Really.
