5 weeks until Christmas and all the insane madness that comes with it...
Where did the year go? I think that almost every year I write something about time passing and how it flies by. Except this year I'm actually more thinking along the lines of times to come and how quickly things change.
Although the first half of this year was an amazing experience - I'd have to say that coming back has been even more of an experience - although it hasn't been nice, just as much character growth has been instigated.
It's really crazy though how your outlook changes as life happens. I don't know that it's always such a good thing to 'grow up'. For example, I used to get all excited about plans and hang out times, but now I'm so cautious about letting myself be excited just in case it doesn't happen, or even just in case plans and stuff don't live up to my expectations. I find that sad. Why do we have to loose our childhood joy and innocence?
Friends are not supposed to be people who hurt you. Life is supposed to be new and exciting. New days should be welcomed, not dreaded....
I realized that I must sound so cynical and jaded. It's really rather horrible to think this way. I know I've got move past this and I will. It'll just take time.
In the mean while, I hope the new year brings new things - good new things! I guess it's a chance to keep trying to change stuff around you, a chance 'start over' as it were.
Don't really want to start over - I just think that things will change. Hopefully for the better! It's kinda crazy when things are shifting all around you - walking on quick sand takes talent.
One that I've had to develope rather quickly!
Sooooo - what will the new year bring? Heaven only knows. In terms of global outlook I think we are set to see a lot of changes between the credit crisis and the in-coming of President elect Barak Obama. These things in turn will effect Australia, but for some reason I don't think this country is on the brink of change. Some how it seems to be sailing on calmly. I may be wrong, but I guess we'll have to wait and see.
Interesting times to live in I suppose. "It's all fun and games until somebody gets hurt. And then it's just fun!"

So if?
So if the sky was to fall tomorrow what do you think would happen?
I'm thinking that we'd get a better view of the stars! And burnt to utter crisp when the sun comes around again..... O.o'
Erm. Why am I ruminating on this subject? No reason! ^_^ Guess summer's in my head atm. The weather is warming up, but I'm just wondering what's going to go down next year. I know, I know, Christmas comes first. But most of the time for me stuff happens after Christmas - 'coz that's when the partys really start!
New Years looks to be interesting this year. We've even got a family holiday coming up. BEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! XD
I'm so looking forwards to soaking up the rays; maybe even getting a good bit of banter in as well.
I guess we'll see how we go.
But tell me this who loves the new low petrol prices?? *waves hand* Mememememememe!!!
I was totally over the whole "Can't go road-tripping because of full prices" anyway - I was all: "Dude, fuel always going to be expensive, here's the tool kit, build a bridge and get over it. Why stop doing something you like to do just 'coz it costs more than it used too?" So I've been sticking to my just-go-cruzin' policy and now it's even better 'coz for a short sweet moment I can actually not squeek at petrol prices.
Credit crisis = bad. Credit crisis > low petrol prices + banter + beach = very much goodness. Yay!
I'll leave you with this last thought -
*sings*
"Shut up and drive/
drive/
drive!"

Ho-hum.
Sunshine and lollipops... dumda-de-dah-de-ddah....
Spent the last week or two dealing with craziness and more craziness. I tell you what, traveling might be fun - but seriously, before you go anywhere for an extended amount of time, take into consideration whether or not you are prepared to deal with change when you come back.
To be honest, I'd already thought of that before my sister and I had headed overseas, but we both never dreamed that our world wouldn't just change, but shatter into a million irreparable pieces.
It's so hard to take in, and really, all you want to do is run away from it all. Far, far, far away....
But one step at a time, take just one step at a time and things will get better. They have to 'coz I can't live like this much longer!
On to a much nicer topic - I had my first hip-hop dance class this week and was so pleased when I managed to do it alright. I mean, it's easy enough to dance to your own beat, and even to do it well enough to look good - but dancing to someone elses choreography - that's when things get tricky!
One thing I didn't do so well on - turns. I really need to practise my turns. But other then that; I was doing non-beginner routine work in my first class. *whheeee* *is happy* I just love to dance.
Spent my public holiday chillaxing with friends - had some time at Pine Island in the sun. Mmmm, yummy sunshine. It was a bit of a shock when we got there though, the place was crawling with teen-i-boppers. Droves of boys trying to be cool by swearing their heads off and swimming in the icy-cold water and flocks of girls giggling and whispering on the sand.
Rather reminded me of swarms of ants at a picnic actually... Hard to believe that so many of the pre-teen crowd could fit in the same place, but once you went away from the 'main' beach it got better. Suppose they where as happy to see us 'older' crowd scuttle off as we where happy to do the scuttling!
So it was sunshine, than after my class I met up with my friends again - we went and saw "Death Race". That movie is seriously cool! Ok, I will admit that it was far too gory and violent in some places for my tastes (if it had've been at an M level, I would have liked it better, but that's just me personally) - but the rest was awesome!
Okay - fast cars, and even better, guns!! There were some decent plot twists, not all that surprising, but enough to keep you interested, and they didn't play on graphics to much. Really I thought it was put together well if you like the violent/car/thrashing sort of movie.... Come to think of it, it really is a total guys movie. You end up coming out going "Now I want to drive my car home.... FAST". Sweet dude! *mwhhaaahhhaa* I can just picture BoB with a mounted machine gun... My car would look soooo cool.
Anyways, that's it for now. B. out.
