Okay - don't ask me about the title, 'coz I don't know. In fact, I know nothink! Nothink I tell you!
Speaking of nothink, this semester is going to be exactly that - nothink. Nothink but work that is! gah... Although the one bright spot in my life will be Black Stump.
And this year I AM GOING!!!! I have already asked for the weekend off - four months in advance, and if they don't like it they can go jump in a lake!
So there....

Quick Note
This a quick note - I went to Scripture Union Camp last week, Chill Out as it is officially labeled. No - I wasn't a camp, but a leader... >.>
My favorite thing about camp?
The kids!! I loved the bunch of kids I got. Three boys - all in grade six. They were interesting, funny, and intelligent (surprise, surprise o.o - lol - kidding!). We had a lot of challenges for the kids throughout the camp - competitions between the groups and all that. The boys were hilarious to work with during these - I just had to give them a little nudge, poke or idea and they were off and running! Our group pretty much wiped out the competition in all but one event and as the boys pointed out (loudly I might add) that was because I wasn't with the team in that event!!!
Although the extent of my 'helpfulness' could be considered dubious as it was a quiz night and I am notorious for getting the answers wrong in quizzes...
So that was my camping experience - that and influenza (which wiped us all out), accidents and tiredness! Up at 7:00am every morning, bed at 11:00pm... Ridiculous hours for a girl that llllloooooovvvvvvvveeeeeessssssss her sleep.
But I'd do it all again, and in some ways can't wait to go on another camp and in the end I guess that's the true test of how everything went.
Bye! Bella
P.s - Don't EVER bring a good book on a camp - you can't do both at once..... And, yes, I speak from experience. >.>

Scooping up the feild mice and boppin' them on the head-

Com'mon
Well uni's back and when it's all said and done I almost prefer to be back to a normal schedule. Plus, for all my vows I managed to put on 2 kilos over these holidays, and regular exercise is the ONLY way I'll put it off again!!!
When I think about it, somehow I always end up doing more stuff in the holidays than I sign up to do during the uni semester. I guess I am smart sometimes!!! (ie - I know my limits during term time - o.0 shockingly enough)
I won't even get a break these next holidays - yeah, I will be run off my feet in full time work (fingers crossed its a govi. position) while organizing our (my sister's and mine) trip to Europe. Dude - I can hardly believe that prep. really gets full out in about, oh lessee... FIFTEEN WEEKS TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! o.o
Crazzzzy man. But oh, so awesome!
So, now for uni and all that jazz. I think my classes will be interesting this semester, but they shall also be a challenge - one that, if I don't pay attention to, may cost me dearly...
But never mind my melodramatics - I've just been reading some good books recently - they tend to do that to me!
Adios me amigos,
Tinka

ER-gah!
Can you believe it? Last night was the second time my car has been broken into! I know - it's like ancient - so really, I should probably expect it to happen more often. Basically, the lock on the driver's side has been damaged and all that is required to open my car is a screw driver shoved in the lock and a twist... Viola! The car is open!
I don't keep any valuables in the car simple because it is that easy to break into - but I did lose my self-contained jump starter kit - worth $80.00.
The worst thing is the thief stole my sister's Bible because it had $71.00 in it. She's upset because the Bible was an 18th birthday present from our grandparents.
But other then that, things are going okay. I've got a Scripture Union camp coming up, and that's going to be fun. I'm also house-sitting at the moment and enjoying the different location. You know what 'they' say - a change is as good as a holiday. Not that I'm entirely sure that 'they' are right, but eh. You can't really argue with a non-entity such as 'they'.
I shall love you and leave you, I'm off to sit on my butt and watch The Avatar: The Last Airbender. I just loooove that show. And though I try - I can't decide whom is hotter - Sokka or Zuko!!! ZuZu is awesome with his hair scraggly and long - and yes, I want ZxK and SxT (Zuko and Katara to get together, and Sokka and Toph to get together for those who are unaware of these awesome characters)
Neways - 'nuff b

Time is slipping away
Gah, I can't believe how quickly my holidays are slipping away from me. It doesn't help that I'm working so much either. Don't really have time for anything when you start working. Owell, at least I'll have some cash - not that I can spend it!
I'm saving to go overseas next year - can't wait. Speaking of which, one of my awesome, gorgeous besties is heading over to the UK for four months - I dunno what I'm gonna do with out her.... : (
But still, I wish her all the best and hope she has an UBERLY cool time! ^-^!
Oh - you'll never guess what either - my sister and I have been working soooo hard, but finally our website is up and running. Not fully finished yet, but we've still got a semblance of structure and content together - it's going to be waaayyyy awesome when we finally get everything up - but check it out anyway! I'll be putting up a proper banner in a bit - but for now the link is : Dual Space.
So, that's been occupying my time - plus I have plans to make an - oooh, you'll have to find out later - when I've finished it.... Trust me - it's far out. ;)
Be seeing you,
Tb.

So much to tell you...
Okay - I've got so much to tell you - not that you'd really care, but anyway, this is my blog and you can't do anything about it!!! Eh... Of course, you could always close the page and never come back again, but you wouldn't want to do that would you?
So anyway - what's been going on you ask? Well, just about everything.
I've been to Wakefield Park - and believe it or not, was actually allowed behind the wheel of a car!!! @.@
And not just any old cars either - cars that are not insured (you sign over all insurance and life rights when you go on the track) and happen to be really sweeet.
As in - I drove a Mazda MX-5, a BMW and *squeeeeeee* a PORSCHE GT3 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >.<
I could hardly believe it when the kind gentlemen that owned these cars took the time to take us (me and my friend) around the track, teach us what to do, and best of all - let us drive!
I got up to a 100k around the corners, 170k on the stretch [it was a really small straight :( ] but the craziest thing was driving that Porsche - 7,000rpm in 1st gear and with all the fat tires, and crazy suspension and all that, I still managed to drift the thing, and spin it out... Twice!!!
Anyway, that was one of the best days I have ever had - I couldn't stop bouncing alll day.
Besides that - I've been on holidays from uni - I'm in the middle of my second week of holidays - I've got three more weeks to go. YAY for long uni breaks!!! ^-^
I've been working heaps, doing lots of stuff with my art, check out the new jewelry I've been making at my deviantART account.
Eh - come to think of it, I guess not that much has really been happening - it just feels like it. I've been running around so much - hanging out with my friends, and all that - so much to do, so little time! 0.o.
Adios amigos - I've gotta fly,
Cioa, t.

What's been happened dude?
What's been happening dude? ....
I'll tell you what - EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really? Like totally no way dude....
Ah - like totally yah way....
So anywho, between all the stuff that I have to do, all the stuff I want to do and all the stuff I volunteer for, I hardly have time to blink. Or so I think.
Somehow I've managed to level myself up to level 38, and back again from 0 to 26 on one of my new favorite hobbies - those that are into MMORPGs (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games) will know exactly what I mean. My new baby ToP. Otherwise known as Tales of Pirates. I won't do a long rant, 'coz I know that that many people are not that interested - but just let me at least state that in this game, I will become a Dread Ninja Pirate and rule the world!
*evil cackle*
Mwhahahahaaaaa! >: D
ph3r teh 4rs!!!
Besides that, my younger sister, her best friend and I (with whom we will unite and rule the world ..>.>) have been using our evil genius to create a "Gangsters and Molls" social night, where we shall hereby entertain all and sundry with - A SECRET! Sorry - can't tell that's classified, need-to-know dope my friend, and although you are one cool cat, this is one speakeasy you will get the bum's rush if you so much as bust a wooden nickel.
You just gotta love the Roaring Twenty's! Or those for outside the know - the 1920-1930s during the Prohibition. That's all I'm giving away - you have Google, go look it up! ^_^
Whilst you're there check out Lackadaisy, an awesome comic. Trust me - it's not just ish kabibble, it's the cat's pajamas.
As you can tell, it's been taking up a considerable amount of my brain power. But that's ok 'coz it's only three weeks until holidays for me!! I've got five wonderful, glorious, fantablous weeks off after my one and only exam. Just gotta get through the weeks - I've got a lot of assignments to do. But she'll be right mate, she always is.
Time for me to pipe down and mooch off - I have to see a man about a dog.
See ya.

Eeep
Eeep. I swear - me brains are in a puddle around my feet!
I spent from 7:30am to 7:00pm yesterday doing an assignment that's due on Friday (yes, on a public holiday. I am such a nerd... -.-') and squillions of hours today on another one that's due on Monday. Well, I've handed the Monday one in, and I have a couple of hundred words to write and some tweaking and I'll have finished the Friday one. Gah. Hate assignments. Brain. Melting...
Seriously.
Anywho - I am so hanging out for Wakefield Park. What is a Wakefield Park you ask?
Well, i's this nice lil' race track you can fang around on without breaking da law! How sweet is that!?
Ok - I know BoB really isn't much for fanging around in (BoB is my Ford Laser KA - circa 1984), and I don't have anything else in my garage or up my sleeve, but I do have friends...
And those friends happen to own a Porsche, BMW and Mazda MX-5 respectively!!!!
No - I won't get to drive, but at least I'll get to ride. And really, I CAN'T WAIT!!! It is gonna be awesome!!!
So anywayz, that's me atm - school, school and more school, a bit of work, and hanging out for D-Day. D for Drivin' that is!!!
;3, tinka.

School's in
School's in for the next half of the semester...
Ugh. I've really been running behind the ball this semester. I don't think that jumping straight from uni to full time work to uni again is the best idea. Yes, it pays REALLY well, but I AM NEVER DOING IT AGAIN!!!!
1) Because the head trip that you need go through to change your ways of thinking about how to get the job done is pretty huge
2) Because you just run yourself into the ground - and don't get a chance to recover
But my main reason is that 3) You just wind yourself up with all the work and never get a chance to un-wind and recuperate. I think I've been getting sick since last year, but I can't so I haven't gotten properly sick for the last five or six months. I bet you anything as soon as I go on holidays after exams I will come down with the nastiest 'flue/cold/virus for a week or even two.
I just can't get sick yet - so I don't. But boy, is it ever gonna hit as soon as I relax a tiny bit!! Ick.
Hmm. JET's coming to town and I'm going to see their concert!! I can't wait - it's gonna be awesommmmeee!
Other than that - really no new developments lately - I'm chokers with tons of stuff to do - but nobody could accuse me of being boring thas fo' sure!
T out. :3

ALL NEW!!
So I'm saying that it's "ALL NEW" (it being my Blog) but it's not quite as there is still quite a bit left in the ol' toothpaste tube (First post, 2004(?)).
;D - Yup I really am insane and lovin' it.
It's funny though, for some reason I'm become a bit of a social butterfly. At my old church I was the last to know about anything - but at this one... Well, gasp-shock-horror my sister and I are becoming known as the people that organize the social stuff. We have an invite to everything practically 'coz we have started it/and or where there when it got started then decided to jump on the bandwagon. Of course, that doesn't apply to absolutely everything - but one day...
One day I* will rule the world!!!
*evil laughter* Mwhaahahhhaaahhaaa-
(*I being me and the evil dust bunnies)
haahhhahhaahhhhaaahhhhaahhaaa *choke-cough-pant*
Ahem. You weren't supposed to know that. I will have to send my minions out to pay you a little visit. Just check under your bed/couch/stove/chair/table/cupboard/bath mat. Yes - my minions are everywhere and they will get you!!!
All that aside, I guess you could say that I'm really enjoying the chance to get to know people that I don't always talk too. You know, I get afraid that people will reject me if I bother them too much, or that they won't want to hang out with me (I am a bit crazy I guess... O.O).... But I'm learning just to try anyway. I know I've often wanted a random invites and no one's given them to me. So what if my plans don't always work out (ie - everyone pikes!) they will another time, and I've got to give it a chance.
Life is so much sweeter when you just try.
Sorry for the mile-long post - have fun - I'm off to a movie and coffee with friends!
Ciao, tb. :3

Pure Flow
*sings*
I bring the pure flow - water around, the rocks of life won't pull me down -
I bring the pure flow - rising above, the storms of life to live and love...
The old can be made new, the lost can be found... The pure flow...
(Super Chic) Gotta love 'em!
Rant:
I need boys like a bowling ball dropped on my head (which means not at all!!!) [another Super Chic quote] but why do I still need them then???? Grrr. I totally thought I had grown out of this - dreaming, wishing, hoping - you know... The suckiness that comes with crushes. I gotta new one that I'm trying (rather unsuccessfully as you might be able to tell) to ignore. It's not easy. Stupid emo-ness.
~~~*~~~
Anywho - it's class free for the next week - I'm working almost everyday of the week, and when I'm not working I've been semi-working on an assignment (2,500 word essay) that's due the end of the week after class free. Er, two weeks away I guess.
My friends and I are holding an "End of Summer" picnic this Saturday. Yes, we are aware that summer has been over for those occupying the great land down under for goodness(!) - it'd have to be about a month and a half now. But along with the tea cups and pretty silver dishes and table clothes, we will have a beautiful (v., v., girly) tea party essentially. But it's gonna be awesomely fun! XD!
I'm currently on a roll when it comes to art stuff - I've discovered the joys of beading necklaces. I've made this pretty Victorian-esk collar thing. It's made with pearly, apple green seed beads and slightly larger soft cream pearl beads. It looks a little like the lace collars they used to wear so I call it (big surprise) Pearls in Lace.
I've also almost finished one for my sis. - red, crystal (clear) and black beads with a silver heart pendant. It's a little less complex than my first one, but I'm excited because the pattern has a lot of possibilities.
I'll put up a picture at some point! (yeah, I know I'm real bad with that, but just check out my deviant ART site - everything gets up there at some point. Search Tinka-bell)
Must go - gotta help provide for my starving family (ie cook dinner) -
Adios amigos,

I've also almost finished one for my sis. - red, crystal (clear) and black beads with a silver heart pendant. It's a little less complex than my first one, but I'm excited because the pattern has a lot of possibilities.
I'll put up a picture at some point! (yeah, I know I'm real bad with that, but just check out my deviant ART site - everything gets up there at some point. Search Tinka-bell)
Must go - gotta help provide for my starving family (ie cook dinner) -
Adios amigos,

Some time
Wow, it's really been sometime since I've updated my blog. Eh - what can I say? I'm an extremely busy girly atm.
I've got so much assessment - although I'm almost a third of a way through one, and finished the other, which is good. Now all I have to do is get through my in class test on Monday. Gag. Me.
I haven't really had time for much of anything between Uni and work, but owell. I am going surfing this Saturday though!!! I'm going to the coast for the day with a bunch of peeps from my church, we're getting lessons. It's gonna be fun I reckon.
Mmm, on other fronts not much is really happening. I am doing bits and pieces of art as per usual - I have all these plans to sculpt, do t-shirts, make plushies, write on the novels my sister and I are in the middle of, but as always; I just don't have the time for it all! I really wish I could be a full-time artist, but I know I'd never be able to support myself (let alone my car) on an artist's budget. Plus - art materials are expensive!
I'm thinking that I want to illustrate and write young adult's novels later on. I have to get through university first, then I want to spend some time over seas. I guess it all depends on what happens.
A rant that I have atm is all the political maneuvering over climate change at the moment. Hey, I know most people couldn't give a rat's ass, but seriously. Is it just that it's election year that the Howard government is FINALLY making some moves on climate change - or is it because of Kevin Rudd?
Heh - that poses another question, would Rudd really care about Climate Change if it wasn't election year anyway?
Mind you - not that I really know the ins and outs of political maneuvering; but I do have a Political Communications class and what with the reporting I have to do in my Journalism class on environment, water and land (which leads me right to politicians) I've kinda pick up on the games. So sue me, I actually like to know what our country's leaders are deciding for me!
I just realized that this is probably one of the most boring blog's I've written. Guess I'm not really cut out to entertain. Besides - too much insanity might kill you. How I've survived is another matter; I think it's got something to do with my curly hair. Ya know the curls act as lighting rods, channeling the insanity into shimmering translucent ribbons. Which, might I add, I then wear in my hair!

Worth While
It's over. I just finished up with my job in the public service yesterday. It was a long and at times, extremely stressful journey, but it was all worth while. The experience is priceless, and I think I learnt a little - ok, a lot more about business and stuff.
But it is sooo good to be back at Uni. I have my job as a waitress back during two days a week and uni three days a week. I'm set.
Got to go - I have an engagement party to attend (not mine ;D ), so see ya!

*happy days* :D
So happy!!! XD!
Uni starts back today - I swear -it's like going on holidays for me. I guess everyone heard how I had my exams than the very next day, I started at work. Well, I haven't stopped since - the last four months have just been insane.
Trips to Morton Island, Merry Beach; work trips to Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane (Perth got canceled, which sucks - :[ ), flying for my first time (i LOVED it!!! ^-^!) Christmas and every crazy thing you could possably throw in (flooding or boys 'ferinstance) - it's just been a.b.s.o.l.u.t.l.y. crazy. I honestly (almost) can't believe how much stuff has happened. I tell you what, I 'm really looking forwards to life getting back to normal with assignments and work and everything.
Things are starting to snowball with my friends now though - I've got an engagement party to attend, picnics, dancing (at the multicultral festival, plus I'm supposed to be starting Bollywood dancing), Bible studies (I've volunteered to lead a yr 11/12 study which will be an awesome expiriance), and goodness knows what else on my social calender at the moment.
All I can say is thank goodness that my work/studies are getting back to normal even if everything is starting to rocket away!
Now that I'm starting to regain some nomality in my life at the moment, I can step back and breath. I also want to give a great big shout out to the Lord for walking with me. The last month has been incredably stressful for me, prob'ly the worst period I've yet expirienced due to exceptional circumstances at work. However, it's over, I've gotten through another life lesson (a cazillion life lessons actually!) and it's all good. YAY for uni!!!!

Did it!
My church has an art competion and the idea is that the picture that best represents the annual theme that they pick will be hung on the main hall wall. This year's theme is "One life to live - One life to give" and I did what I wanted to do - enter a piece.
Sometimes I get really inspired and hear of great opporutinites, and think - "Yeh! I'm try/do/enter that!" but than it never happens. This time it did! I did an A3 picture in ink and pastels - it took me about 4/5 hours. I'll put it up on DeviantART when I get the chance.
That's all from me for now,
:3, Tinka.

Comprehension
I always find it so amusing how you can go through your life, poke-ding along, and then all of a sudden (bad clinche I know, but it fits!) there are dozens-n-dozens of boys that start flocking around you.
I find it difficult to comprehend I'm afraid... Why is it that there is always too much or too little? Fer'instance - the whole I'm all fine doing my own little thing - then bang... Somebody (the somebody I was talking about before) rings me up out of the blue and wants to turn my life upside down; and almost succeeds quite well might I add.
Not only that, there's this new guy at work - don't get me wrong - he hasn't hit on me or anything... Yet. I kinda get the feeling that he's testing the waters - sending me little random e-mails, etc... Nothing serious or bad - it just that I feel like I've suddenly become a guy magnet or something!

Heh. I'm wondering - is there some sort of switch that clicks on at random times - attracts all the guy in your vicinity - and then just as suddenly turns off so that all guys in your vicinity ignore you for the next seven months???
There must be, and I'm gonna call it the "There Effect" 'coz for a short period - usually about a week or two, a chick can suddenly become noticed by the guy around. Thus she is "there" and no longer invisible. Until the "There Effect" switches off again that is...
So cheers to effects - enjoy 'em whilst you can. I sure do!

Life as normal
Life as normal - if insanity can be normal that is... That certain someone I was telling you about? Well after a few days of walking on knife blades, I've made up my mind. At the moment our paths are not heading in the same direction, so that's that. It's over before it began.
I've had a great weekend, I took the Friday off and spent two night with my gf, and a whole heap of time catching up with friends I haven't seen in a while.
Other then that, not much has happened, so life is back to normal. Sorta.
Have a good one-
:3, Tinka.

*yawn*
*YAAAAAAAAAAAAWN!* Gah. So tired. I'm glad I have this Friday off, 'coz I'm so tired. I'm sleeping over at my gfs house tonight and we've got some plans to do stuff which'll be cool.
Work is same old - same old, sometimes boring, sometimes really hectic - I don't think I mentioned this before - but you know that storm that flooded my bedroom? Well, it flooded out our offices as well. We lost about twelve PCs, and had to be temporarily relocated. But we're back now so it's all good.
I've actually enquired as to the possiblility of my staying on as a part-timer during uni. My boss hasn't given the business manager the answer yet, so I'm a bit, yeh, it's so not gonna happen. But I'm sure I'll be able to find something else part time.... Hopefully!
Other then that nothing much else is happening...
I went to see "Happy Feet" with some friends and that was AWESOME!!! Loved that movie soooo much.
It's on my list of movies to buy along with "You Got Served" and "Take the Lead". I absolutely love dancing movies. And singing movies too, but not as much. DANCING ROCKS!!!
Signing (dancing?) off for now,
T.B_o

Whoa
Man - everything is just cr-azy - seriously, by this time things are supposed to be settled from Christmas/New Year, yeh?
Well it ain't. I got into work today, and we'd been flooded. The roof had leaked during this massive hail storm that we got on New Year's Eve. We almost had a white Christmas 'coz there was that much hail - it COVERED the ground - in some places, a couple of feet deep.
So anyways, we had to move out of our building temporarily, we've gotten into the main block for three days while the carpet gets dried at work.
My family and I had been away at a friend's farm for New Years, we had a good time - I went riding, Domino was good, I rode Rusty and he was good too, but he got a bit lame. I also got a turn on Tom, who belongs to the fellow who looks after the farm. He was a Standardbred too, a nice forward-going ride. He actually reminded me of Tango, so much so, I wanted to put Tom in my pocket and take him home!
But besides the horses, I got a ton of art work done which was cool. Really though, I was aiming to tell about what happened when we got home.
We didn't have a front porch - it was buried in chip bark and soil from our garden. Water had come under the front door and puddle in our step-down lounge, underneath the recliners. My sister's and mine bedroom had water too - unfortunately the water seeped under the doors - water came under the side door, and under the book case we keep in front of the door. So we can't open that one - hopefully it dries out quickly without going moldy. And the sliding door let in water under my computer desk. Nothing was damaged which was great, but I know the case was not the same for many others. Gee, it wouldn't be a very nice surprise to come home to from holidays though!!
That's all from me now,
Ciao, TinkaBell. :3
