Well here and now, will we ever be again..

...cause I have found all that shimmers in this world, is sure to fade, away...again.


I'm so busy writing papers that nothing interesting has happened. This weekend BCA is sending us on an "excursion" to the Blue Mountains.


That's exciting. I'll update then.

One Fish....Two Fish! Spring Break 2008!

Since my camera broke the girls gave me all the pictures from break....here are some of the good ones!
















Tangalooma Island Resort (and for future reference, L-R: Kait, Alexis, Me)




















Australia Zoo, Brisbane.


Dear Pappy: I got you a wombat! Just like I promised!



No this picture isn't cut off, that's the sand! Whitehaven Beach - the largest white sand island in the world....beautiful! Whitehaven Beach, Whitsundays, Australia


South Molle Island, Whitsundays, Australia


Aboard the world class sailing yacht, The Card. Whitsunday Islands, Australia


Largest sandbar island! This island only comes out when the tide is out! Whitsunday Islands, Australia.


Night of the pub crawl - when I stole the hat in the following picture! Gilligans, Cairns, Australia.


The girls and I with our Tour Guide Baz! The weirdo on the side was friends with the guy who used to own that hat. I now own it. He got his stupid horse back though... Cairns, Australia


The rainforest I missed because I had to catch my flight. Beautiful though!


Last one: National Rugby League Grand Final! Think..superbowl!
Manly Sea Eagles v. Melbourne (Mel-bun) Storm. Manly won 40-nil. And guess who we picked! GO MANLY SEA EAGLES!


Well, that's my photo blog. If anyone wants more pictures, let me know! I have all 350 of Kait and Alexis'!

love you all & see you soon!

I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one..

...take my hand and join us, in the world and we'll live as one.



So, that's me standing a little over ankle deep in the ocean.


You can see the TOE NAIL POLISH on my feet. How freaking cool is that?

SB 2K8 (Spring Break 2008) was awesome, I had a blast, minus my O(@&$(&@$(^!*#$*!^& camera breaking and having a lovely 80 dollars in my bank account.

I didn't skydive or Bunjy out of respect for my outstanding ability to bash my head into whatever is nearest - and as both of those things would cause me to splat, I decided to not take that chance.

I did however, Minjin swing (think three people like superman from the rain forest canopy. Kickass), Whitewater Raft (think fing awesome and woo woo!) and scuba dive to 10 meters on the Great Barrier Reef (not even imaginable unless you were there).

Minus the large amount of bug bites I have, the big ass fing spiders I found (who's bite could drop an elephant in 1 minute), and the numerous cockroaches (apparently near the eqautor they reproduce like rabbits and you can't get rid of them..fing ew), I had a blast. I helped sail and world class racing yacht, got a tan on the largest white sand island in the world (Whitehaven Beach, the Whitsundays, Australia), found Nemo, rafted on grade 4 rapids, flew like superman, stole some random persons kick ass cowboy hat (and almost his fake horse, MWAHAHA) and realized that no where on this earth can compare to home.

I miss you all, immensly. I'll see you soon <3

"Washington is in need of some adult supervision.."

I'm voting for him.






And I fear for my country if McCain wins. McCain is quoted as saying that he wants to overturn most Supreme Court rulings and go back to the way the Constitution used to be. Cool, no choice, no female voting rights, slavery.

That was a good time. I know I'll enjoy being a man's property and being denied my civil liberties. Then I'll go out back and beat my slaves.

Seriously though, haven't we suffered through 8 long years of Bush? McCain has voted WITH Bush on 90% 0f his issues - including those on marriage and the insufferable war in Iraq.

So, call me a baby killer, a gay lover, "un-American", a terrorist, a tree hugger. I call it being informed.

Obama wants to give women the choice of what to do with their bodies, the choice for voters to decide to legalize gay marriage, because love is more important, he wants to slowly withdraw our troops from this ridiculous, hellacious war that has killed hundreds and thousands of people - right, now where does Osama Bid Laden live? Oh right...Afghanistan.

Sarah Palin's constituency is smaller then the mayor if Jacksonville's. Her only qualification is that she didn't have an abortion when she was pregnant with a child who had down syndrome. She's also a good mother for forcing her pregnant daughter to get married. Abstinance only really worked there - huh Sarah? And me? I'd rather vote for a pitbull then the hockey mom in lipstick. That schtick is a disgusting as McCain's accent "Warsherington"..now, where exactly is that located again? McCain's campaign is exactly as signs read, "McCain: God, Guns and Lipstick!" Just because Sarah Palin has as vagina, doesn't mean she gives a flying wicked monkey about mine.

It's sad, Palin complains about sexism - what about the blatant racism? Cute, Obama Bin Laden. Real adorable. He's not muslim. He's christian. And he wants rights for the idiots out there who call him a "nigger" and a "muslim bastard". And no, he won't go back to Kenya "where he was born"...maybe Hawaii? Individuals born outside of the US can't be President. Smooth.

The best part is that Palin keeps running her mouth about "REFORMING WASHINGTON!" Are you reforming John McCain, who's voted with Bush 90% of the time? Are you reforming your religious zealot party who care more about their money then their country? No. You want to reform Roe v. Wade. The entire constitution. The idea of choice, freedom. You want to reform contraception. Hell, you want to reform the right for homosexuals to have the rights to life, liberty and the persuit of happiness.

The ignorance that is showing it's ugly head in this election scares me. I fear for my country - that it will never be the place I grew up. Religious intolerance, Racially motivated crime, poverty, recession - is the world you want to raise your child in? If so, please vote McCain/Palin.

Educate yourself. Don't vote for McCain's religion, or Palin's religion (she's a crazy by the way...). Don't vote for Obama's words in speeches or his religion either. Check your facts. And don't vote for someone because your dad told you McCain is cool - don't be uninformed.

Obama/Biden 2008.
"Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek."

I feel in heaven when I look in your eyes...

....I know that you are the one for me!


So, we went to the beach yesterday. It was absolutely beautiful. I think all three of us were reminded about a simple fact - we don't hate Australia, we hate DLC. It's nice to be reminded of things like that, to remind us that we aren't having a completely terrible time down here because of the country - just because of the place I live.

Conception Day is this Friday, it's basically a big huge concert day with school sanctioned drinking. My internship is closed that day. I get to play! WOO!

The next day we're going to the beach again, but for the full day instead of just a while. We're eating dinner at the beer garden there too. I'm pumped.

Everyone should be getting postcards soon, either as an entity or individually. Be excited.

That's my update. I don't have much. I'll update after Conception Day & the beach. Then you'll get an update after break. Sorry kids.

Loveyou all.

I know now, the place that I was trying to reach...

...was you right there in front of me.

Hello all! Today is the day I update you on the perilous undoings of my life.

This week was decent, Kait, Alexis and I sort of just hung out. Chatted. It was a nice relaxing week. The worst was Wednesday, it was Damo's (see first post about individuals in Oz) birthday and they went to the Ranch, so everyone was freaking obnoxious. We were so pissed. We refused to go because all the guys were supposed to come out for my birthday and then didn't. So..we didn't. Screw that.

Another thing, we're watching the unravelment of the Marist girls. It's fabulous and oddly satisfying. The one grad student here, Kim, freaked out on the Queen Bitch (Katelyn) yesterday at brunch. Highly satisfying, that was. Katelyn came to Alexis's room last night to ask where Damo was. We were like...asleep. Bye. Damo called us after she walked away and was like, "DON'T TELL HER I'M AWAKE. I'M DEAD SHHHHHH!" Good laugh out of that one.

Anyway, I mostly wanted to post my itinerary for my spring break trip, so you know and to make you hate your lives.

Wed 9/24: Fly into Brisbane from Sydney. Go to Tinbilly Travellers Hostel (that the trip paid for) and then possibly a day cruise in Brisbane.

Thurs 9/25: Leave Brisbane @ 8:30. Australia Zoo to check out all the Steve Irwin stuff. Fraser Island/Hervey Bay to put our stuff away and then a two hour open bar cruise of Hervey Bay. SWEET.

Fri 9/26: 7:30, leave for Fraser Island and spend all day tanning and playing baseball. Then we head to the Whitsundays!

Sat 9/27: Sailing and wake jumping on high speed boats all day on the Whitsundays and then party!

Sun 9/28: Sleeeeeep. Free day to shop, catamaran, tennis, jet ski, sun bathe. Skydive? Temmmmmpting.

Mon 9/29: Sailing on a yacht, scuba diving, tannning. Chilllll.

Tues 9/30: Tully River White Water Rafting. 4/5 River. Then to the accomodations with the lagoon pool and open-air beer hall.

Wed 10/1: Free day in Cairns! Then, Night Bungy Dance Party! Possible bungy jumping, maayyybe.

Thurs 10/2: Scuba/Snorkel around the Great Barrier Reef!

Fri 10/3: Sleep in! Rainforest trip and natural spa! Then, goodbye party :-(.

Sat 10/4: Fly back to Sydney to continue my miserable existence in shitty DLC.


Good thing is, Debbie gets here the 14th. SCORE.

Love!

It's spurs and let it go - its the ropes and the reins and the joys and the pains..

....and they call the thing rodeo.


It's a good day. 66 degrees, beautiful, laundry is almost done, room is clean, papers done.

I feel fabulous. Maybe, just maybe, it's the turn around?


Kait, Alexis and myself have finally just figured it's the three of us, and as long as Queen of Marist and all Aussies declares it, we won't be having friends.

But screw it. Seriously. Who cares? The three of us have tons of fun, along with Brianne from Marist, when she comes. My birthday night with Kait, Alexis, Brianne and Nessa rocked. I had tons of fun just eating out and hitting up random clubs. I had a blast and I have some kick ass friends here who made it better.

It's a countdown for Spring Break - 24 days until I'm snorkeling around the GBR and laying on a beach on some island. After spring break, 64 days til I'm home. And between those two times, we have 2 and 1/2 weeks of finals, in which I only have one test and a presentation to do, so we're hitting up Manly and Bondi beaches.

I'm taking my energy to the gym, not eating my weight in Tim Tams and not spending money ostentaciously. I want good experiences, good friends and a damn good tan. This is definitely the point where I go, screw you all. Let's have fun.

Ok, Aussieland, bring it.....
