Corpses Bobbing In The Sea, Ha Ha Ha, He He He

so on australia day maddie came over early in the morning because we were headed to rosebud. we got out of here at about 10.00am, and on the way we visited my great uncle for about half an hour. when we got to my aunties (where we were staying)we got ready for lunch, which was roast lamb. we talked and ate and had lots of fun for a few hours before dragging my mum off the couch to take us to the beach. we blew up the the donuts, which took a while and took them with us. we picked our spot on the beach (next to some peeps who had made a fence out of beer bottles)and we erected our aussie flag. we then paddled with our tires and it wasnt that cold. we also took some awesome photos. after going home and having showers we had lasagna for dinner and watchd top gear. after that maddie and i put on the tennis and we picked a player and made the noises and started bagging each other. we went to bed at about 10.30. in the morning i discovered id taken up most of the bed >.<, and we got up and had lasagna for breakfast. we slowly got moving and were down at the beach by 11.00. it was a lil windy so maddie and i layed on our towels for a bit. then we got out the donuts for a bit, but the waves were annoying. then we had some lunch and went back out and that were we spent most of the day, tho we did play with the tennis ball for a bit. it started to get quite hot and the sea got rele calm and we spent a few hours just lazing in the donuts, bobbing along. after coming home we discovered that our feets got sunburnt and maddie got a burnt back. but we did have fish and chips and icecream for dinner. so besides the burning we had a very good weekend.

Party Bus

oh. my. god! the party bus. so last night i went to sandys party. mum and i, using the trusty melways worked out where we were going. i arrived and nat came soon after along with some other guests. we were meeting the rest at the restaurant. at 5.30 we got into the minibus (the party bus) and arrived at Lazy Moes. nat and i shared a plate of calamari and chips, coz the plates were massive. we laughed and talked, and paige and maria, who were sitting next to each other, were sending each other insults by text. at about 7.30 we went back to sandys, everyone in the PARTY BUS. we even had a song, "party bus, party bus, driving to lazy moes in party bus!" we took lots of photos in the bus and we sung songs. upon arriving at sandys we talked for a bit and sandy opened her prezzies. we then argued over what we wanted to watch deciding on the fresh prince - which was hilarious. we ate and talked etc. when we were waiting to cut the cake, there was this movie with bruce willis. and he was talking to this guy in a bar and being all close to him, and we were all joking "Like hes so gay" then we looked up a few minutes later and they were pashing! omg omg. it was so funny. anyway we had cake and played with sparklers. then we watched 40 mins of Zohan. then we all got dropped off in the party bus!

I Wanna Be Forever Young

well on thursday night we had a welcome home party for maddie :). we have been planning this for months. maddie came over at about 4pm and we decided that despite the hot, windy weather (which became cool and not windy) we would party outside anyway.
we set up the streamers and we were just about to get dressed when nat and sandy arrived early. we left them to their own devices whilst we became presentable. maddie borrowed one of my dresses and sexy umbrella earrings. we then did the make up and the hair thing. after that we set up the food, drinks and music. at 6pm amala arrived and slowly the peeps started to arrive. we played pass the food and ate chips, party pies and sausage rolls, samosas, hot chips, spring rolls etc. we talked and acted all cool and took heaps of photos. at 8.30 we had ice cream, with sprinkles, m&m's and choc topping (which later the girls squirted into their mouths)we turned up the music and started dancing and dad took some pictures of all of us on "the party bus" XD. we gave each other piggy backs and took so many photos. we then thought it would be fun to make mug shots. we danced to songs like the "age of aquarius" and then we all stood around and sung "forever young" and i had a moment when i realised how ridiculously happy i was. peeps left at around 10.30 and maddie and i got ready to go to bed, we decided to watch umbie bumbies. and we talked till 4am. it was some of the best fun ive ever had :)so far 2009 has been the best year ever, even though its just begun.

"Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
Can you imagine when this race is run
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders we're getting in tune
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really wanna live forever, forever, forever?
Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody, some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young
It's hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fleeing horse
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever
So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
We let them come true
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever, forever?" - Forever Young

The Age Of Aquarius

well i know its a bit late but almost a week ago i saw maddie for the first time in a year. nat came over early and we put together maddie's surprise and then hung up her welcome home sign. we then sat like total losers on the front porch waiting for her. she then arrived and we did the run and hug :D. and it was like she had never left. the parents did some talking and we schadaddle off to my room to hang out and be cool. which we did. we hung out there for most of the afternoon, listening to the age of aquarius XD. i then test drived some food for the party on them. not long after that we decided to go to the park and we fought over the swings, got stuck on the climby thing and took lots of shadow pictures. then we rewarded ourselves by going to 7/11 and getting chocolate. we had fish and chips for dinner and then watched mythbusters whilst eating chocolate rippple cake. we then muted the tennis and made the noises and did the players voices. after all that we watched life of brian, and then we went to bed. at 5am my kitty wanted to come in and i had to feed her. then at 7:30 we were up and talking and had cake for breakfast. after i had a shower nat left and maddie and i had a proper breaky of bacon and eggs. we sat at outside and chatted and played totem tennis. then we decided to go to the movies to see madagascar. we loved it and we got thickshakes on the way home. we made pizzas for lunch and then at 3.30 we took maddie home. a totally AWESOME weekend :)

The End's Not Near, It's Here

well as i write this, maddie should or already has touched down in melbourne :D. on saturday it will be the first time i have seen her in 367 days. i cant believe it has finally arrived, i seriously never, ever thought this day would come. i have so much to tell her, to ask her. i wish i could see her face when she finally hits home soil. when she steps out of the airport, into the still light sky, into the warm air for the first time in months. to hear people speaking english and the aussie accent. to see as they come over the freeway the setting sun hitting the skyscrapers and bouncing off setting the city a glow. and the feeling that is home as they step inside their house and crawl into bed. there is no place like home.

The Final Countdown

well this time next week, maddie, nat and me will have prolly woken up from our first sleepover together in 12 months. its just for more days until maddie comes home. FOUR!
i could remember when i was like "theres only four months to go" and then four weeks. i cant believe how fast last year went, like seriously, i thought it would never happen. i cant believe that year 10 is over and now in a few weeks ill be starting VCE. maddie and i have lists of all things we want to do together when she gets back, and i cant wait. and im pleased to say these last few days arent dragging, theyve actually gone pretty fast. i dont know how fast it will go from know to saturday. i know its only 4 days til she comes home and six until i see her again, but its still 6 days, i mean it doesnt seem that long, but it still is. anyway i suppose i shall live. the holidays too have been pretty awesome. the 17th January 2009 WILL be one of the best days of my life.
and i havent done this in a while:
