New Years

There is approximately 40 minutes until that clock strikes 12 homiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiies- but by the time i finish writing this it'll probably be less >.<
So basically what i did today was CLEAN THE HOUSE, EAT, WATCH SOME SHOWS, BLUDGE, GO TO A PARTY, COME HOME AND PLAY AWESOME JENGA, GO ON MSN TO CHAT FRIENDS THAT ARE AT HOME ETC, AND COUNT DOWN THE MINUTES TILL THE BIG 1-1 TURNS 1-2.


*clears throat* I have devised a short new years resolution:

1. study more
2. use time more efficiently
3. sign up for gym for better workout results
4. learn how to properly socialize with the other human inhabitants of planet Earth
5. Buy nice clothes and please go to that comic book store you've been dying to visit for months
6. start BOW for visual arts
7. be on top of conserving your allowance
8. health eating? I know it's hard, but you can't do it.. No wait YOU CAN ... :)
9. Note take like how you did in year 10, the first half, not the second.. the 3nd was just sloppy TSK TSKKKK 'me'
10. have more confidence. I also want you to enter talent quest and year 12 concert... it's the last time you can do it hon!

So, off the top of my head just then.. that's what i came up with as my new yrs reso.
LOL
approx 35 mins left :p see ya then peeps

Canberra

Yes, I went to Canberra over the last couple of days and I only just got back around 9.30 last night. Overall, I'd say my trip was fun :)It had some of its downsides (i.e horrible flip out bed and blanket). Anyways, like I was saying OVERALL it was cool :) Some of the places I went over the course of my time there were:
1. The war memorial (which is HUGE- I didnt end up viewing the whole place ==')
2. Black mountain/ telstra tower (HUGGGE, and their ice chocolates are DEFINITELY a desert, so don't consume it as actual 'food' - Just a heads up (wm) :p )
3. The mint factory (I was 'queen for a day' here LOL, and I pressed my own coin :p )
4. Cockington Green (EVERYTHING WAS MINIATURE... except ME! and all the other human beings ...)
5. dc comic book shop (OH YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH)
6. The place I was staying at :p (which had an AWESOME GYM might I add)

So, that's just a very short, very quick re cap of my time at Canberra :p

camping

Yes, I went camping for a couple of days and it was heaps of fun,if I may say so :)
I did a lot of stuff whilst I was there, and I think it was mostly fun because of the general spirit that comes around when you're with family and friends.
Hm some of the stuff I did :)... well :

I went bike riding- a lot; and that caused some major damage to my body... in a good way? I suppose. And of course, the weather up at Forster was better than I expected. I actually thought it was rain during the day.. thus inhibiting me from doing anything but sitting around in the tent (though i'm sure, with my cousin we would have some how made that entertaining in itself). So, because of the pleasant weather, we went to the pool. But of course we didn't plan going there. We just jumped in after we rode our bikes there (oh yes, we were very smart that way).
Then there was that moment we got lost because we decided it would be nice to take a leisurely stroll late at night ... just after we rode our bikes (honestly, riding a bike when you can barely see anything but that tiny torch you're grasping on to is more fun than it sounds... and if you get paranoid quickly, make sure there's someone with you LOL. Like me- turned out my paranoia was a false alarm :$ oops)

All in all it was a pleasant experience and of course I tasted the wonderfully roasted marshmellows :D Made up "scary" stories in the tent and shone my torch everywhere :)

And yes... the flies were present and ever so persistent. I was like live bait to them =='

Anyhoo, that's all from me today, I might post up some pics/ videos of it later on, which brings me to say! - I'm going to go to Canberra tomorrow ! :) Till the morning of the 31st :p at which point I should be back in el Sydneyo

kk signing out mezza :p

Overprotective

Lets start with the word 'over'. It can be defined as:

1. above in place or position: the roof over one's head.
2. above and to the other side of: to leap over a wall.
3. above in authority, rank, power, etc., so as to govern, control, or have jurisdiction regarding: There is no one over her in the department now.
4. so as to rest on or cover; on or upon: Throw a sheet over the bed.
5. on or upon, so as to cause an apparent change in one's mood, attitude, etc.: I can't imagine what has come over her.

The definition I am focusing on is the 4th.

Now to define 'protection':

1. the act of protecting or the state of being protected; preservation from injury or harm.
2. a thing, person, or group that protects: This vaccine is a protection against disease.
3. patronage.

Both of these words are pretty positive. But when they're combined they can be pretty suffocating. It's not a bad thing per say. I mean, it shows that those people 'overprotecting' you, do care about you. But sometimes a person just needs their own space and needs to do their own thing. After all, those people won't always be there to catch you when you fall. So, isn't it best to learn and make those decisions now, when they're around... then when they're gone.

Respect

The several definitions of respect:

1.esteem for or a sense of the worth or excellence of a person, a personal quality or ability, or something considered as a manifestation of a personal quality or ability: I have great respect for her judgment.

2.deference to a right, privilege, privileged position, or someone or something considered to have certain rights or privileges; proper acceptance or courtesy; acknowledgment: respect for a suspect's right to counsel; to show respect for the flag; respect for the elderly.

3.the condition of being esteemed or honored: to be held in respect.

unfortunately, respect within this society seems to be directed in all the wrong places, or is non existent.

But in those rare moments where it is where it should be and is alive and blossoming, I smile. And for a while I feel like humanity isn't degrading itself into the lower stoops of our reconstructed timeline.
I think the romantics were right.
