yawn - ^0^

Sleepiness... Luv the late nights - can't stand early mornings, and not being able to keep my eyes open. That suxz. Hardcore.

Went to the National Gallery yesterday arvo. - it was heaps cool. I loved checking out some of the insane stuff they had there. Most of it didn't cut it for me - but some of the stuff... Dude. It was so cool.
Had to hop around on my crutches though which wasn't cool...

Speaking of which, it looks like I might getting off them this weekend - yes!

Btw, how sad is it - only one more month of holidays and summer... WHAAA! =''( Must do lottsssss of beach trips - can't stand winter. Well, actually I can...

But has anyone else noticed how people hook up so much in the colder months? A guy I worked with before had this theory that it's more fun/comfortable to snuggle up with your bf/gf in winter - which is why all these couple start popping up everywhere! Mind you, I think it's much better just to curl up with a book, a mug of hot chocolate, and a nice fire. Mmm. Much better!

Must say though, I'm so hoping I'll be able to make it to the snow this winter at least once. I'm so hanging out for boarding. Mind you - I can't actually snowboard, but I can iceskate, and rollerblade and I have done a teeeny, wincy bit of skateborading, so I hope all the above will help get the hang of it. *fingers crossed* 'Coz I'm not sure that I have much of a chance. Lol. ohwell.

Mph - in the mean time it's still 30+ outside, so let's not get depressed about the cold too soon!

^-^, check y'all l8r - can't think of much else to write.

bye! B.

*talking with my bestie*

Soo here I am talking with my best friend while she's checkin out my blog - cool huh?

C u - ^^,
T.B.

Owie!

*whimpers* I went and did it again.... "-and the award for biggest chump of 2006 goes to.... Me!!!" I've only just started to get over my severly sprained left ankle when I had to - yep, you've proably guess it - go twist my right ankle! WHAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ='''(

I was climbing up a hill/mountain? in the bush - me and one of the Hobbits (we'll call him Pippin) were going up to Booromba(?) Rocks and having a grand ol' sweaty time when I had to step on a rock that wasn't a rock (ie - the grass made it look like a rock was underneath, but it wasn't and..) - vol`a! I have a really sore ankle, am stuck at home, can't go out with the Hobbits any more, and can't work either, so I'm dead broke, bored(well, 'cept for the computer....), and *sigh* that's the way the cookie crumbles. Mind you, my ankle wouldn't have been as bad as it is if I had of been smart and asked to head back when I twisted it. As it was, I had to trek 7 kilometers on it - it didn't start hurting until we'd already reached the top of the hill/mountain.

Tell you what, getting back - now that was a challenge.... I had to dig my nails into the palm of my hands so that I could stand the pain in my ankle. The only way I got down was with more pain, walking really fast, and ignoring the achiness. That's the problem about stubborn, independant types- can't sook or whinge about any thing.... >.>....

Hmmm - besides my eventful day, I can't think of much else - o, went to the Australia Day Eve Concert on the lawn of Paraliment - got to see(? too many people to actually see them)/hear the Rogue Traders and The Modern Day Poets, and some others, but I enjoyed the company (The Hobbits + one) more than the bands - tho the latter bands were HEAPS good - loved dancing to the music!

'Neways, that is it from me for now...

Smilies - T.

Once upon a time...

There were six Hobbits. These Hobbits didn't know each other just three weeks ago - they each were living their seperate lives. Than BAM! A big cog slipped and the order of things changed. Now these Hobbits are living their lives together!!!

My sister and I have been having a ball over the last two weeks or so, we've found a group of friends that we can hang out with - and are hanging out with constantly. It's reeallly cool. Dunno if it'll last, but for the moment, we're having heaps of fun, so I've determined just to enjoy it for what it is - Awesome!!!! ^ ^!

Beach trips - (which BTW, was really awesome.), swimming, movies, dancing (yes! Ballroom dancing! I learnt the Cha-Cha basic, the Waltz basic, and Salsa basic, and some extra steps as well! >.), cheese&crackers, pizza, and cookiesncream icecream, and a new game - "If you were". It goes like this - you ask the group - if you were a -insert object/thing- what would you be? Like: If you were a peice of furniture/superhero/fruit/color/car what would you be? So the game just goes on and on and on, and it never ends!!! Tis very cool.


So that's 'bout it from me for now.

Adios amigos,

Tinka


P.S. - Our bedroom is finally done - and that was also the reason why I haven't been on the Net for ages - the connection took forever to get back up!

P.S. II - Have a Happy Australia Day! ^-^

*massive silence*

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't believe it - but... I'm getting a Graphic Tablet today! *happyhappyhappyhappyhappyhappy* I can hear a sort of "Wha?" sound going 'round - for those that don't know - Google Search it! Heheee. Naw, it's just something that's gonna help me heaps with my graphic art. Somethings about art need practise, others, tools. I'm finally starting to get together the stuff I need. It's heaps cool! 'Specially as Graphic Tablets are at least $1,000.00 or over, and as I found this one for a good deal less than that new, I'm extra-happyyyyy! *bounces 'round* Squee! <3 <--- (I know it's kinda demented, but that's supposed to be a sideways heart.) Byeee! TinkaBell ^^!

Hot and hotter

Hehee - bad 'gramma', I know, but it is realllyyyyy hot down under here in Canberra. Of course, even though we're in the city, bushfires are the ever looming concern - but right now everyone seems to be freaking out about something else - or somethingS. Namely sharks... Now I'm supposed to be going to the coast for a day trip this Sunday - but my family's totally bugging out over the report of 100 shark sightings along the South Coast these past three weekends. O.O' And they've been coming in to the third swell, which is like one meter deep! And I'm supposed to be swimming? So yeah!!!

I'm personally not too fussed - I know you've gotta be careful, but if you're not living on the edge, you're taking up to much space! Or maybe you'll spend your life wraped in cotton wool. No thankyou. But I guess we'll see. Although I'm still planning on swimming, I am glad there's gonna be 'copter patrols over Bateman's Bay this weekend. Makes you feel a little safer.

Asides from all that furrior(? spelling?) over sharks, I'm really phsyced (?) about heading to the coast - I've mentioned it before - but I'm dying for the beach and have been ever since the end of the Uni exams.... Gah! ><' --->

So, besides that, I don't think much else is happening. I, and another relatively new guy, were left in charge at work for like the first time, which was really awesome. Everything went really well, which was even more awesome(r)!!!! Bob needs a service, and I had to buy him a new battery, which means I can't go the WorldView conferance coming up on the 15th, but hey, you can't do everything, and there's always next year. So I'm off for now, gotta go do some chores as my sister is bellowing at me... = P'''


Adios amigos!

T.B._o

P.S. Thunderstorm coming up now - WOOOOTTTTTTTTT! I just love the thunder! Hope lighting strikes don't start a fire though...

Oyahhhh.

Wow... What a holiday!!!

'Course, it wan't much of a holiday after all that anyways. The good news is that my sister, Emi, and I are finally in our new room. It's still a bit messy, but when it's clean I'll put up some photos so you can see a little of what it's been like for the last week and a half!! 0.O!

I'm gonna have a little whinge - I HAVEN'T BEEN TO THE BEACH ONCE THIS SUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! T_T Mind you, I went once when I was at BlackStump - but that was in the spring!!! So it doesn't count.... ^^'...
So I'm back at work, dealing with people who are still stuck in silly season mode. I must say, it's not always that fun. I went out for New Year's and that was cool - but not some random up-chucking all over my mate's carpet. So at 12:05pm - what was my mate doing? Cleaning up vomit. Niiiice..... NOT!

I don't get it - seriously... What's so fun about killing half of your brain cells, vomiting, making an @$$ of yourself, and feeling like SH*T the next day???? And what about the other people around you? In my expirance, getting drunk always affects someone else, and not in a good way. Like, at this wedding I was working at the other night, the groom's mates were completely off their faces, and acting like real retards. The poor bride just put up with them brawling and making @$$' out of themselves. If I was her I would've kicked them out! Mind you, I'm not against drinking, or having fun with your mates.... It's just the excesiveness. I don't get why people feel they need to go so far.
But hey - it's their life - their choices - guess they just wanna have fun.

Got lots of plans for the coast - roadtrips with the gfs, camps with Hugh's , and day trips(?) *fingers crossed!* But I guess we'll see - I've made plans before, and they've fallen through, so.... But anyway - these summer days have been really nice - the hot weather makes everyone a bit testy, but when it cools down, or we go for a swim, it's really nice. My art's on a bit of a halt, but I'll be getting back into it soon. I found a quote that's really encouraged me. "Your ability may not be much - but you're the only one in the world that can use it." So true. I've really woken up to reality lately - it almost stole my dreams away, but now I realize, even though you need reality to live, hopes and dreams are the things that make living worthwhile. Funny how things turn out. I really can't wait (heh - and I won't have to considering how quickly time flys!!!) to see what 2006 has in store - I'm sure it's gonna be one heck of a ride!

Looking to the future,

Bonita. (TinkaBell_o)

And so it begins - @_o!

*Incoming Trasmission*

*Author's Note* This diary of a young soldier was found recently in an old tumble-down attic, covered in dust and blood... It was a dark and stormy night when the gory details were revealed, and since then things have never been the same.... (Just kidding! We're renovating our house, and my sister and I are moving out into our garage, so our room is going to be totally awesome by the time we've finished. [and twice the size!] So this a brief account of the mess in my house atm.)

TOP SECERT - DO NOT READ UNLESS AUTHORIZED


day 1 _________ tuesday _ 27/12/2005


It's been a long time coming. We've been preparing for this day for six months now. We have gone through Plan A to Z and a couple of numerals too. Things have been winding up tenser and tenser, and then it happened. General Sj made the suggestion. So it was up to myself, Captain Tinka, and Luetenant CoolChic, to get the stuff we needed. At 01000 hours we marched to Revolve, and under the General's watchful eye, we brought two top secret wardrobes and a set of weapon bunk beds. This was just the beginning.

day 2 ________ wednesday _ 28/12/2005


Up at the crack of dawn - 0700 hours, it was time to let General Sj, Major Mumbly, Corpral Freaky, and Private Jayz in on the battle plan Lt CoolChic and I had concocted in the wee small hours of the night. As we had expected the was some outcry, but we were able to persude them to see reason. After the offical meeting and red tape (the General's permission) we had to sort out, the Lt and I got stuck into it. It was time to move. Everything in our headquarters got spread out all through the base, and tucked in to any corner we could find. The problems started when we realized we need materials from other areas, so more stuff (junk) had to be shifted. With all the shifting about we only ended up preping one of the top secret wardrobes, and part of the high level chest.

day 3 _________ thursday _ 29/12/2005


Time for the search to begin. Assembling the battalion in the troop 'copter, we charged out to find our super special carpet. No luck in the first base we flew into, so we raided another, and struck the mother load. Still short on supplies though, so we headed out again, but this time with a special strike team of the General, Lt and myself. We got in there and out again safely, with no incidents.

day 4 _________ friday _ 30/12/2005


It was now time for the dirty work to begin. Preping, and painting the high security gear we'd picked up took time, energy and and effort that the Lt and I almost didn't have. The heat was incrediable, and it took all our strength to keep on going. Under Mozzie-dart attacks, that swamped us from time to time, we manage to make it through with no casualties, and little damage. For now.

day 5 ________ saturday _ 31/12/2005


Waking up early, it was time to get on with the serious stuff. The painting done on a third of the gear, we have two T.S wardrobes done, and the H.L. chest finished. The two sets of W.B. beds are still to be done, plus two rocket Bookselves, a under-cover desk and two mini-mine dressing tables. Looking at what we've achieved so far, we still have a long trek ahead of us. The base is in absolute shambles - there is no way we'd be able to do our work in any sort of order, as half of the contents of the base are strewn through out the place. Dust, shrapnel, and vital equiment are mixed together in the growning mounds of gear. And we're not even half way through....




*Author's Note* The rest of the diary is lost. The search has begun for the missing parts - in due time they will be unearthed, so stay tuned.

*Transmission Complete*

T. Bird out.

I'm BACK YA'LL~

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells rock an' alll that JAAAAAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*sings loudly*

Hey everyone, hope you had a good Christmas - I know I did even though I worked all day. Busy entertaining peoples, reading books, watching my new Zoids: Chaotic Century DVDs - oya, I luff Zoids!!! ^-^ !

Things seemed to be all wacked at the mo' though - I'm busy sorting through stuff...

Heya, on to better things - the days are hot an' gorgeous, and my sister's pushing me to help with her writing - i.e. co-author with her. I thought I was past that, but I do want to help her. I just don't think that I can! I almost didn't pass my Creative Writing course. How can I call myself an author? I just don't have what it takes.

*sigh* so much for better things!!! I seriously go round in circles sometimes - and I don't mean the Kylie-Minouge-type of spinning either.

Meh - 'neways, I'm trying to deciede what movie to go see tonight (on cheap@$$ Tuesday) Mask of Zorro or Chronicles of Narnia? Hmmm.... Both are good and I shall see both, but what one tonight?
>.......< ???? *so she puzzled til her puzzler was sore* <--- Direct quote from The Grinch ^^ Good movie!

Gtg now, I'll c u l8r,

Boni.

*oophew* It's sssooo hot!!! *melts* BUYYYYEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK LIKE>>>>

CHRISTMAS!!!!

Whoo!!! I can hardly believe that another year has passed, and so much has happened over the last year... I started Uni, such a big thing for myself who had been homeschooled all my life, got a new job, that moved me up in service and learning about stuff, I've realized that I am not, and never will be a writer, but maybe if I practise real hard I can be an artist, I've learned how hard life is without Christ as your center and rock - I've been witness to the pain that troubles you through life if you don't have Him as Lord and Saviour, I've found out what it's like to be wanted, and to want in return, I know how much you depend on a friendly face, and what it means to you when you find it, when you find a friend... Life is so perfect sometimes, and sometimes it just hurts...

Each moment
passes, and it's not the amount of moments in which you breathe that matter, but the moments that make you lose your breath... I've been lucky to have some of those moments this year - Road trips with my gfs, Sleeping out under the stars on the beach, Learning new things that make me stop and wonder at the awesomeness of this world, Enjoying staying up late with friends just 'coz you can, Finding a little more of the wonder of In to me see, Golden summer days - Stormy dark nights, Music that touches your soul,
Hearing God speaking to you, Realizing that you've come so far, but more of the wonder of your journey still lies before you... Rejoice!!! Rejoice and be glad, for a Saviour is born and THAT is something to make you lose your breath.

Christmas is a time for celebration,
and reflection - may everyone see the wonder of their life behind them, and before them, May you all (to be politically correct) have a wonderful Holiday!

^-^, Best wishes always,

Bonita. (TinkaBell)

P.S. - And a Happy New Year in case I don't get on before the turn of the year!! ^ ^!

Exterary 'pecially

Did anyone notice the archive with December 1990 marked on it? I went in there today, and found three posts of "Luvin U" in it!!! What's really odd is that I only started my Blog in March 2005, so I guess Blogger.com must've had some sort of glitch. Not that I mind or anything - it's quite amusing! ^-^! *thinks* And that would explain why, when posting "Luvin U", I had to post it repeatedly, as it said that I had posted successfully, but the post wasn't on my Blog. At least, it wasn't on the December 2005 page!

Update in the life of Tinka:

I've been really sick over the last few days - I had to spend Friday in bed, and cancel my work shifts... So I'm still getting over this nasty 'flu virus, and I'm broke too! ;_; .... Really not cool, but hey that's life I guess.


ummm... ain't dot nofink else to say....

*sings* Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming.....

C u! ^^, Bj.

*D'OH!!!*

D'OOOOOOOOHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Boy - do I ever feel stuuuupid... =^.^= It seems like I've been having an extra batch of blonde moments this month - an' o boyous... Theysa not be vera purtyful..

First I call Dad up at 10:30 pm when I couldn't start Bob (my new car) and get him out of bed to my work to pick me up, only to find I had Bob in the wrong gear. And yep, sure 'nuff he started perfectly when I put him in park... *blushes* Stupid. I know. But hey - I topped that today!

I locked Bob's keys in his boot!! @_@' And yep, all the doors had been neatly locked by myself just a moment ago.... >.> Dad had to break in (and he scratched up my tinting... = P) so's I could get my only key back....
*groans* Oyishka.... I really have been pulling it off this month. At least the above haven't been too bad - just dumb. Hey - I haven't totally humiliated myself in front of any hotties - but don't worry - that is ssssuuuure to come!!!

So keep tuned -

C ya! T. ^-^

Amigo, Step, and me with our finished work - Boris! 

Boris, in all his rockclimbing glory... ^ ^! 

Luvin u

Just kidding!! ^-^!!! No, I really do luv u guys.... And the holidays!! I am just having the best break from Uni right now.

Hanging out w/ Step an' Amigo* (*name change - dunno if he wants to be on my Blog!!) has been fun, I've been indoor rockclimbing w/ the Crew, partying w/ the Hugh's crowd, buying a NEW CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (more in a mo.) - working, doing a bit of art, getting hooked on boardgames, meeting heaps of new ppl - and new guys to talk too! *winkx* ; ) - heheee, it's been all good.

Ok - new car. I got it on Saturday, it's a little Ford Laser, and I call him Bob. He's in excelllent condition for a 23 year old framework, and a 4 year old motor. And I love him to bits already! He's white, and I can't wait to deck out his interior. He's got mag wheels ( ^-^! ), and I got roof racks as well - can't wait for the first road trip!! It's gonna be sweet dude - totallyyy SweeeeT!!! I'll have ta put up photos. WOOT! I finally got my first car!!! ( And I only paid $900.00 dollars for him too - SUCH a bargin!! )

Step, Amigo, and I painted Amigo's new rockclimbing wall (sorry, boldering [? spelling?] wall) today - it was sooo much fun! It took us from 10:30 ish 'til 4:00pm, with a few breaks and trips for paint and stuff we forgot, but it was SOOOOO worth it. I'lll be putting up pictures in my album Etches, as I designed the image that Step and I decided to call Borris, who is the focal point of the design, and he is this really cute geko! After that we played Monopoly Party on the PlayStation and I THRASHED everyone @$$' - only by fuke mind you - but it was fun - I sent everyone bankrupt!!! X D !!!! (meh - I'm not a n00b, it's just that I hardly ever really win boardgames, so I was happy with the change....)


*big happy sigh* = ) So luvin life right now - it's ABSO_BALLY_LUTE_LY FAN_TAS_TEEEEC!!!!!!!! I am so happy! Thankyou Lord for all you've given me.... ^-^!


*happyhappyhappyhappyhappyhappyhappyhappyhappyhappyhappy*



BBBBBBBBBBBBBYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Boni. ^ ^

more

More pictures up in my album - Tinkas etches, on photobucket.com - check 'em out if you want - I'm also designing an artwork to transfer on to one of my friend's (he's in the Crew) new rockclimbing wall that he's getting as an early Christmas pressie. Whee! Then we're (the Crew) are gonna paint it on on Monday. Lotsa fun! ^^!

Actually, it's only the second peice of artwork that I've really ever done for someone else - (besides a few small things - like cards an' birthday pictures). I was going to do my first commissioned peice onto a guitar for a friend, but he cancelled ( = P ) - and the other piece was given as a 2oth birthday present. But then again, I'm not doing this by myself, only designing it - so can it really count as my own work?? Meh - ......

'neways, have a good one ya'll -

TinkaBell_o

P.S. - O yeah!!! I forgot to mention - I passed my exams - got two P's and a CR, so I'm pretty happy with that. Especially as my credit came from Communication Traditions, and I totally didn't get that subject at all all semester, though it seems I've manged to do something right in that class! O.O Yay!!! No more worries for the rest of the year! ^-^!!!!

*yawns*

Sooo tired!!!

I've been working really hard, an' I went out last night with a bunch of peeps from Hugh's - which was really, really, really cool! I had lotsa fun. But I am tired...

Just a question, does everyone one have a theory about the scared, scarred one? 'Coz if they do -I'd like to know it. Funny how you go through life, and things come and go - you don't even realize what's been until you look back and see the route you took. If I don't have a map for love how do I deal? I gotta guide book that helps me through life, but it doesn't tell where to wait for him... Grrrr. And right now I don't even want to be thinking about boys in any shape, sort, or form - .... Pfft. Stupid, flithy, fat creatures...

Go away and never come back!


*runs and hides in her room*

Boni.

Crusing

Life's pretty good right now - I'm enjoying the break immensely, and even though I'm working so much on the weekends I don't get to go out at all - ) ': - I'm still having a relaxing time. Am still getting over this virus thing too - though I'm starting to wonder if some of the symtoms weren't/aren't hay fever as well... Does hayfever make your glands swell? hmm. ..

Started looking at going to a new church. It's just gotten so that the life of our (my family's) church is dried out and gone. It's sad, and really hard, but we know we have to move, so we're on the look out for another place to fellowship. Currently, Hugh's Basptist is looking promising. ^^

Got a new pair of shoes today! They're black wedges with the cutest little sparkling flower where the straps meet. Nice price too - I just love a great bargin!

One thing that's got me a bit bummed is that I can't go to the beach at all 'coz I don't have anyway of getting there, and that even if I did, me and my bestie are at odds right now... Whaaaa!! We haven't had a huge fight or anything, but she's holding something back from me - doesn't wanna talk about something, and our relationship isn't as open as it has been for the last four or five years... It's so sad, and I'm really praying that everything will get sorted, 'coz it's just not cool.... Not at all.

Besides, all that, life's good. ^^

I'll check ya round,

B.

Here we goooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally!!!!!!!!! It's my first week of holidays. Even though I finished my last exam on Wednesday last week, I've been sick and it's taken this long to sink in.... I'm freeeee!!!!!!!!! WOOT!!!

Mind you I still feel really ill - but hey, at least I may have a chance of recovery as I don't have much to do until I get an extra job for the hols. I really need the cash. So it's gonna be work,work, work for this little chick-a-bee. That is, in between working on my Oekaki-ing and drawing. Meh. 'Neways, I've been sitting far to long at this computer - I can feel my eyes going square -

Adios amigo - Via le liberati!!! (My mangled French... o.o' )

Tinka.

P.s. - This is why my eyes r square!! *puts picture up on Photobucket* Check it out if you want - TinkaBell_o, then go to Tinkas Scribbles - it's the one titled 'Prince Trae'

>.>....

I'm still feeling really sick - but hey, at least my exams are all over... I got through my law exam ok - I hope. I'm pretty confident I'll pass at least. Now I just gotta get better - 'coz I'm not feeling well at all....

Yours with a dizzy head -

Bj.
