'crastinating

I was writing an English essay when I opened Internet Explorer to research Peter Weir, and this opened because its my homepage, so I felt compelled to procrastinate a little at least.

I'm writing my essay on my awesome phone that I got on Friday after a two hour credit check before being signed up on the plan. It's awesome, full qwerty keyboard (if you don't understand what that means look at the top left hand side of your keyboard. It's the same as the one you type on at a computer) awesome camera and amazing battery life. Not to mention, although I will, that I love it and that's wat makes it the best anyway.

Anyways, Peter Weir is an amazing fellow I've discovered of late. He is the director of a few films I've seen, such as Picnic at Hanging Rock, Witness, Galipolli and Dead Poets Society. Amazing how one man can churn out 4 of the most gut-wrenching, heart-string-pulling films I've ever seen, and its even more amazing how some people can discard them as trash.

Weir's films are the connection between western idiosyncrasies and the way he thinks we should see the world. Take Witness for example. This is a film about the Amish and the Western and the expectations and standards each set for themselves, yet seem only to forget about. Rachel momentarily abandons her own culture that she has grown up with to follow a whimsical crush for the afternoon and eagerly frenches with Harrison Ford (ooo-err) as the sun sets in the background. Cliché? Maybe a little, but you wonder why she returned to her ways and why he left her after her PDA in the meadow. I know if i ever had those feelings and they were that intense I definitely wouldn't leave! I probably wouldn't let go!

But this isn't about me. Well, actually it is, because now I've just brainstormed some ideas and I'm going to add them - so adios for now, and remember, if my blog isn't intelligent enough for you, read Eleanor's instead!

Love, Simmy

chocolates

- chocolate is the new black
- i dont love chocolate, i worship, respect and admire it!
- smile, ever 7 minutes someone doing aerobics pulls a hamstring

EIGHTEEN

got old already. its an interesting experience. best part is being served at the bar no questions asked, while brother whom is 2 years older had his id checked. can now drive 100 legally (didnt stop me before but that doesnt matter). no real restrictions anymore =]
i love life. my party was a hit - pretty sure we all had a great time, especially when i fell off my chair and when my neighbours came up to talk to my parents and i was drinking cheap champagne out of the bottle sitting on someones lap almost falling off =]
pretty sure i'm enjoying myself, which makes me think maybe my deperssive cycle has ended. not keeping my hopes up on that though.
and to my dear eleanor. you're a legend. thank you for being awesome.
love xo

The Climb

"I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming but
There's a voice inside my head sayin,
You'll never reach it,
Every step I'm taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm gonna to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing,
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down but
No I'm not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on, cause

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm gonna to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb (yeah)

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb (yeah yeah ea ea)

Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith babyI

t's all about
It's all about
The climb

Keep the faith
Keep your faith"

I wish I had some faith in myself... I wish I could get past the first 4 lines of the song applying to me. I feel like utter shit and I've been alone all day.

I NEED CHOCOLATE!!

self diagnosis

I've decided that against all will and for no apparent reason I've slipped ever so slowly into a course of depression. Not the emo-I'm-going-to-kill-myself-because-I-hate-the-world depression, the depression that creeps in during the night that makes you realise that you're alone in the world and feel like no one will ever keep you warm at night. Your bed will be empty and stay empty.
And when do you do when, against all historical records of yourself, you realise, yet again, that the person you swore would never obtain your heart for the fifth, sixth or seventh time, obtains your heart, with no intention of letting you steal theirs?
Why do people pretend to be other people's friends? She's vulgar and rude and uses people. Well your 'best friend' has other best friends too! When I'm around ae you really insecure enough to literally hold on and not let go? And I swear if that mother turns up to my Schoolies she will never hear the end of it. Trust me on that.
Well its 35 days until I can legally drown my sorrows, and 36 until I can drive 10km/h faster. Shouldn't that help brighten my smile?
And shouldn't the support of people I know in following my dreams and looking for the future brighten my outlook on life? Why is this not so?
Why is it that the only time I can truly smile is when I'm around some of the people that enforce the sadness?

emo

what the hell emotions!
i have become an emotional rollercoaster... again!
whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

unusual stage of my life...

procrastination

Ellie is right. procrastination is a weird word. english is a funny language...

food technology is a funny subject... sometimes its the easiest thing in the world, sometimes its just downright confusing... doesnt help that my teacher has major mood swings and all that... but oh well...

Dear Ellie
Next time you come to Singleton, please tell me! You surprised me something terrible and I almost lost my awesome work composure... =] Love you =]
Simmy xx

Its weird hearing your name being called out at work when you are concentrating really hard and you turn around and find out its one of your best friends from far away! Would've been better if said person stayed a little longer =[

Oh well, life's a bitch.

Lovee
Simmy xx

Wade Is...

18:
His party was awesome... candy bra & choc body paint anyone? daniel's mum wanted to steal me again... and it was 72 days yesterday until i will be drinking champers with her =]
Possibly Infected With the Swine Flu:
he was coughing and spluttering all night and seems to be quite sick. i feel bad for the poor adult (coz he's not a kid anymore...) .'. everyone at his party will have it
a slut:
just coz he is.

Daniel's 18th

I'm so proud of that kid. He's all grown up now!
Anyway, his party was last night and it was shweet. People were dancing, drinking and chatting all night. A few people showed up who weren't invited... some stayed a while, some left (thank God), and some tried smoking around me and got their head bitten off and shoved outside. I don't know if that was the alcohol talking or my remorse over Pop's death a year ago this coming Saturday - when Wade's party is on.
Anyway, someone got into my alcohol after I took it inside to Daniel's room, and I don't know who... but I'm not happy. That's a total of two people who stole like 4 shots worth without asking me first... even though my NAME was on the bottle! Just because you haven't had green apple vodka before doesn't mean you have to try it!
Other than the alcohol theif, the night was great. The costumes were interesting... Eleanor's was my favourite - she was a vampire in a CORSET <3 =]
How I love corsets...
That's all for this post... besides the fact that I have an english essay due tomorrow that I haven't started... =[
Love, Simmy xx

26 May, 2009

why is there never anyone to turn to?
why do people not care?
how is it that i'm still alone after all this time?
why tell her things before me.
i get sofrustrated with the world.
then i step into the picture and its like woah.
i considered something tonight that i have not considered in a long time.
why am i the emotional rollercoaster again?
and why won't anyone listen to me???

Religious Studies

When researching Islam it is difficult to distinguish between decent and crap sites online. There is no way to avoid clicking any links that may give off the hint that something lies within without knowing whether it is a virus or not. It's especially hard when you're using the school's computers.

The point is, I'm researching Islamic, Christian and Jewish bioethical teachings (on abortion and euthanasia) and the only decent site I'm getting any information off is the BBC religion website.

For any readers who did HSC religion, or are currently doing it and have found some sites covering bioethics for any of the aforementioned religions I would much appreciate a helping hand with some website choices (but I don't want your entire bibliography!).

Love is for losers

meaningfulness

i don't think i've written a meaningful blog in a long time.

it's time i returned this to its former glory:
I now have my HSC exam timetable. i have 2 exams my first day (wednesday - english then food tech), then one thursday (religion) and one friday (english), then i have the weekend and monday before my next (maths), then a week and a day before my last (physics). my only complaint is that there are 2 exams on the same day.

i'm still a fricken moody broody teenager who's co-crushing on a couple of different guys (unfortunately... seems i cant make up my mind) and uncomfortable with her body. i guess if i keep eating pasta all the time that wont really change... =[

other than my whinges about love and body, i do feel that i'm enjoying my work and schooling. not long left now.

i'm getting tired easily which is probably from all the opens i did during the holidays but i dont mind, because i'm getting more sleep then i have before in my life.

maybe that's part of my problem with love. i dont put myself out there enough. i just go home to bed. i think i need to meet more people and find someone who likes me for who i am, not someone i might happen to pretend to be to get some attention.

i need to update my playlist for my ipod too. i'm heading back to mainstream *shrieks in horror* which is unfortunate because i do feel i've discovered some undercover talent in those undergroundy types. and some hotties =]

right now i'm looking at getting personalised numberplates for my car. i'm quite excited about it.

ummm other than that i cant think of anything else to write. i need more inspiration!

good night my loves xx

"Dreams" & "Dreams Come True"

"my father said set your dreams that you want for life
a road without an ending will just get you in strife
so now I'll try and reach the sky and make my
dreams come true
and in the quiet late at night
I think I'll dream for you
I'll dream
dream dream dream for you
I'll dream
cuz dreams dreams dreams come true
sometimes life can seem real hard and things don't go to plan
but I'll give it all I've gotta give I'll do the best I can
now I could win all my dreams and have them all today
but without you in my memory
I'd cry my life away
I'll dream dream dream dream for you
I'll dream
cuz dreams dreams dreams come true
I'll keep you close to my heart if you tell me where to start....
I'll dream dream dream dream for you
I'll dream
cuz dreams dreams dreams come true
I'll dream dream dream dream for you
I'll dream cuz dreams dreams dreams come true"

"Looking for a way when I struggle through the day
(Oh so slowly)
Nothing going right when I know it should be fine
(Oh yeah)
When I'm feeling down and my friends are not around
(I'm not sorry)
I can find a way to seek a better day

Dreams come true whenever you can see
Dreams come through and set me free
Dreams come true and let me fly
Dreams come soon and I'm feeling fine

Sitting by the phone when I don't want time alone
(Slowly, slowly)
Wonder what I'll see when I wish for what could be
(What I'll see)
When my friends are down and I need to be around
(I'll be there)
I can find a way to seek a better day
(A way to find a better day just close your eyes and dream a dream today)

Dreams come true whenever you can see
Dreams come through and set me free
Dreams come true and let me fly
Dreams come soon and I'm feeling fine

(And I'm feeling fine)

Dreams come true whenever you can see
Dreams come through and set me free

(And I'm feeling fine)

Dreams come true and let me fly
Dreams come soon and I'm feeling fine

(Feeling fine, a yeah yeah yeah I'm feeling, I'm feeling fine)

Dreaming to see a better place ahead
Think about the way I need to see my fate

Dreams come true whenever you can see
(Whenever you can see)
Dreams come through and set me free
(And set me free)
Dreams come true and let me fly
(And let me fly)
Dreams come soon and I'm feeling fine
(And I'm feeling fine)

Dreams come true whenever you can see
(Whenever you can see)
Dreams come through and set me free
(And set me free)
Dreams come true and let me fly
(And let me fly)
Dreams come soon and I'm feeling fine

Feeling fine

Feeling fine"

"How I Feel"

"How can I hope that you'll love me
When you don't even know my name
When I see you at school I become such a fool
I don't know how to play this game

How can I hope that you'll notice
When you won't even look my way
If our eyes ever meet you look down at your feet
And pretend that there's nothing to say

Don't you know, baby I love you so
Can' you see what you mean to me

How can my heart ever tell you
That thelove that I have is real
If I wasn't so shy when I see you walk by
Then I'd tell you just how I feel

Don't you know, baby I love you so
I know you'd understand if you'd only take my hand

How can my heart ever tell yo
That the love that I have is real
If I wasn't so shy when I see you walk by
Then I'd tell you just how I feel

If I wasn't so shy when I see you walk by
Then I'd tell you just how I feel"

Excel Books...

ARE SO EXPENSIVE!

My mother bought me THREE (3) and it cost her over NINETY (90) dollars!

There are EIGHT (8) more that I'm looking at getting. On average that's another TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY (240) BUCKS!

We're not rich enough to afford that!

Bitches...

not love

what i dont love:
big hips that keep getting bigger meaning you cant do the button up on your fave purple skinnys;
unrequited love crushes;
when people just dont get it;
when people say 'you wouldnt understand coz its about sex' [just coz im a virgin doesn't mean im emotionally illiterate];
lying;
physical abuse;
psychological abuse;
homework;
teachers who are like 'oh we thought you'd realise and fix it yourself even though you came to me for help' [fuck you];
bad music;
losing people you love;
computer battery dying in the middle of a movie [goddamnit];
dvds that refuse to play on a computer;
when people give off signals they dont mean to give off;
when songs make me cry in public [pokerface];
funerals;
forgetting to pack the most important item;
social networking [so 2008!];
when i dont even understand myself

LOVELOVELOVELOVE

i love many things.

we shall start with my hair (not hair in general) because its new and fresh and delightful.
one of my best friends dyed it for me on saturday afternoon. its like a 2 step one, with hilights and so forth. while the hilights were developing, we were going thru my music on my computer. he looked at my hair and the streaks looked white so he's like lets go wash those out now...

it was funny coz they are okay =]

i also love boys
boys are fun to tease. and not so fun to have crushes on. especially if the crush is a long term on-off type thing. god i hate those types of crushes. oh well, hugs fix everything (if they are from the right person)

thats about it.

i miss el

Rental Properties

I've been colaborating the Pro's and Con's of different types of rental properties. And I still haven't been able to make a considered decision.
Pro Con
Here's what I have so far:

Small House:
yard work may not neccisarily be covered in rental payments
small rental houses are generally quite old
newer rental houses are too expensive
they are small
they generally only have on-street parking
they have laundries!
they have seperate rooms for dining and living
more private than an apartment because there is more space between ur property and ur neighbours
have a yard and clothesline

That's all I've coined up for small houses so far

Apartments and Units:
they are generally more affordable
usually provide tenent parking
can be extremely new
no yard work
they are small
they usually don't have laundries
usually have living and dining areas in one
are very close to neighbours
no clothesline or yard

That's all I have so far. Comments appreciated!

rules

A rule is defined as:

a principle or regulation governing conduct, action, procedure, arrangement,
etc.
As such, I have started to set out some basic rules for myself. On my awesome purple-framed whiteboard.
  1. No McDonald's Food
  2. 1/2 hour exercise daily
  3. Look after the friends
  4. Don't kiss ex's

I have some more ideas but I have not yet put them into words.

Any suggestions?

Played netball yesterday, against a team called LJ's. If anyone reading this has heard of the LJ's here are some of the things they did:

  • one of their mum's called down Mrs Senior from the office to over look the umpiring because they thought it was bias. it was definitely not bias if you consider the rest of these dot points
  • screamed in everyones faces
  • pushed through using elbows and shoulders
  • one girl even kneed our youngest player in the upper leg, on purpose

In case you don't understand the rules of netball, it is a non-contact sport. That means players don't touch each other!

If anyone wants to stand up for this appalling team (by the way, we beat you! Suck it losers) be my guest, I'd love to hear your reasons for their unsportsman-like game.

Also, they went up to the office before the game to check which court they were on and noticed our team was versing them. They said (in front of two little girls and their mother - luckily they were one of our player's family) "Oh shit - its element. They're the bitchy team." Ahahahahahahaha... Live and learn, love. You will get some of your own one day.

Thanks for reading - Simmy xx

serial blogger

I think I've joined the 'serial blogger' group... I'll need to start going to meetings soon!

I don't actually have much to say tonight... but I felt the need to blog anyway! God, I'm reliant (please note I would prefer to be self reliant) on this electronic diary thing!

Anyway, I have FIVE (yes both bold and italics required) followers now! *chants* go Simmy go Simmy!

Ummm I'm kinda addicted to Sudoku at the moment... 5 games a day type... I would suggest that's as bad as pack-a-day smokers. =S

Oh well it's fun and healthy and doesn't kill you (because they haven't decided to do bogus studies to say that Sudoku kills brain cells from over-use or some bullshit).

I think that will do for the night.

Love, Simmy xx

gay ass motherfucking teachers!

okay, so my damn food tech teacher took 33 marks off me for things that she knew about before i submitted my task:
  • the questions in my survey were wrong. i had asked her the questions at least a week in advance.
  • the task outline and marking criteria did not mention what parts needed to be in depth and what parts only needed a small amount of information. thus my assessment was the opposite.
  • my teacher is a dumb-ass!

i hate school

=[

30 March, 2009

i've calmed down now

this is an epilogue to my previous post. although the persons this is to probably dont read my blog. they probably dont care enough to.

whatever, anyways i just wanted to say that if any of you people actually gave a shit you would b more like eleanor. eleanor is the kind of person that you can tell anything to and know no one else will know about it unless there is specific instructions to tell said person.

if people out there actually cared about my feelings they would know by now how horrible they are treating my just by my reactions to their treatment.

so yeah. thats it

Fuck "Friendship"

You know what pisses me off?

When I'm asked to organise something, but oh wait something goes wrong. ITS SIMONE'S FAULT.

Time to go home, and there's a full car. But no one wants to go with Simone. You know why? Because the friggin NOVELTY wore off. No fun hanging out with Simone any more. Someone else has their lisence now. Lets use them for a few months.

If you want to use someone, dont use me, because I will slaughter you

there's your little warning children

take heed

Life Goes On!

Life goes on, life goes on, life goes on...

You sucked me in and played my mind
Just like a toy you would crank and wind
Baby, I would give til you wore it out
You left me lying in a pool of doubt
If youre still thinkin youre the daddy mac
You shouldve known better but you didnt and I cant go back

Oooh, life goes on, and its only gonna make me strong
Its a fact, once you get on board say goodbye cuz you cant go back
Oooh, its a fight, and I really wanna get it right
Where Im at, is my life before me, got this feeling that I cant go back

Life goes on, life goes on, life goes on...

Wish I knew then what I know now
You held all the cards and sold me out
Baby, shame on you if you fooled me once,
Shame on me if you fooled me twice
Youve been a pretty hard case to crack
I shouldve known better but I didnt and I cant go back

Oooh, life goes on, and its only gonna make me strong
Its a fact, once you get on board say goodbye cuz you cant go back
Oooh, its a fight, and I really wanna get it right
Where Im at, is my life before me, got this feeling that I cant go back

Na na na na na life goes on, na na na na na made me strong
Got a feeling and I cant go back
Life goes on (and its only gonna make me strong)
Life goes on and on and on
Shame on you if you fooled me once,
Shame on me if you fooled me twice
Youve been a pretty hard case to crack
I shouldve known better but I didnt and I cant go back

Oooh, life goes on, and its only gonna make me strong
Its a fact, once you get on board say goodbye cuz you cant go back
Oooh, its a fight, and I really wanna get it right
Where Im at, is my life before me, got this feeling that I cant go back

Na na na na na life goes on, na na na na na made me strong
Whoa, yeah
Got a feeling and I cant go back...

Body Image

I am not the "sexiest" of girls... in fact sometimes I look in the mirror and feel the need to throw up because I have a big fat pimple on my chin or my nose or between my eyebrows and its the size of frigging CHINA, except it's not, and I don't realise how INVISIBLE it is until I try to find it after it's gone.

Well I realise now, my mother is wrong sometimes. Like how 'there's too much sugary foods in my diet and that's why I'm getting pimples'. I can eat as healthy as anything and have the same occasional break-out as if I'm eating chocolate and musk sticks for every meal (except the difference is the size of my thighs).

The most important thing about your skin is looking after is. Using the right cleanser and moisturiser to suit your skin type (and any allergies you have), and having the routine of twice a day followed! I learned this the hard way, dealing with feral skin since my first pimple in year 8 or 9 until the week before my year 12 retreat this year. I have skin care down to a fine art.

Now to the BODY.
Cleo and Cosmo (no matter how much of a bad label they are given by the rest of the media) have some very important stories to tell.


Cosmo - Oct08. pg 233. Body Love section. How I love the body love.

Most guys prefer the size 10-12 (proven by their little statistics on the celebrities with said body type - 79% of guys like sizes 10-12 =P)

A guy can tell if you are naturally a size 14 and have starved and dieted your way down to a 6.

A guy can also tell if you are naturally a size 6 and ate 12 tonnes of chocolate to get yourself into a size 14 (just so you can have some boobs).

Boobs. Ah everyone (well most people) love boobs. And each person has their preferred size. Some like massive Pammy Anderson Melons, some like 'em invisible like Keira Knightley. Some like them normal size, like mine. Yes, I have normal sized boobs. Sometimes they look large, sometimes they look small, but I like them the size they are. And all girls should be able to live with what their god has given them.

And don't complain about needing to go on a diet, or feeling fat, or bitching about your current diet to the guys, they hate it. 74% of the applicable male citizens of the world would rather date a not-so-skinny girl than one who was bitching about their size.

I should really take what I read to heart sometimes, I know at netball on Monday night I whinged and bitched, and the Monday before I did the same thing.

Which brings me onto topic #2.

Guys (well they were part of topic #1 so I guess this could be classed as still part of #1 but oh well this was a major waste of your time reading this brackett hahaha)

What I HATE (well dislike immensly) more than anything in the world is MIXED SIGNALS(any agreement would be appreciated in a comment). I like having attention paid to me, but I don't like when it suddenly ceases. I don't know exactly who reads this so I'm not going to use an example from my real life in case said person recognises themself, but I know sometimes a guy will like be really friendly, and hang out, and listen to your problems, and invite you around when you're feeling crappy, then suddenly switch off the sweet guy attitude... until a week or two later when they feel like being Mr Perfect again.

I'd love to hear any examples from your lives and I can compare them to mine!

But that is all for tonight,

Love you all

Food Technology Assessment... or not

Okay so I'm supposed to be doing my assessment... but I'm not. But who can blame me? It's about the properties of food... aka what flour and butter do in a scone when you cook it. Seriously boring. But easy. I'm not doing anyway.

The most important reason to do food technology is to acknowledge and appreciate one's immense cooking skills. No one actually cares about why you shouldn't eat pasta for 2 meals a day every day. Oh no, its almost entirely startch and will stretch your waist to a size 4000. How tragic.

School is one of the most stupid things ever, especially the HSC aspect of it. Apparently a test at the end of the year will tell me if I'm smart enough to go to university to do the course I want to (and if you don't know that it's a Bachelor of Surveying than you don't know me very well) and dictate the rest of my life. I hate to bring myself down to the level of LO but its GAY!

"How can I make scone's more visually appealing?"

"What condiments do you prefer with your scones?"

Its bullshit. Now Eleanor has the right idea: Chocolate Pizza. *drools*

No Simmy! Stop drooling! Teachers will figure out what you're doing!

Okay okay... Yes school is the most boring and draining part of my day.

But if there was no school there would be no SCHOOLIES =] YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY and so on. Yes, very excited about schoolies. 12 people, holed up in 2 3 bedroom apartments getting mostly utterly trashed and falling over the balcony into the pool. How terribly exciting!

We did promise to behave ourselves otherwise we get kicked out... but half the fun in spewing over half the apartment and forgetting where we are and sleeping on the beach waking up with a hangover. Oh and the paintball and jetskiing.

If anyone has any ideas about some stuff we can do while on Schoolies let me know, because so far there are only the three mentioned above.

I Feel GREAT

Retreat was exactly what I needed to release all the built-up stress of the ast 12 months.

I think it was the best four days of my life so far! I discovered some awesome friendships that I didn't even know I had. Like, it is amazing how just genuinely caring for a sick friend can instantly make them feel better about themselves, and even strengthen the friendship.

One of my friends was very sick and on the last morning I was standing with her in the line to get pancakes for brekfast and she just out of the blue hugged me. This isn't a person whom I talk to endless amounts every day, but she is one of my closer friends, and she just really surprised me.

I love life.

I feel so fantastic about everything that I don't even know where to begin.

We had 'small group sessions' where we were split into groups of 8 or 9 with one of the teachers and did some soul searching type stuff. One session we had to genuinely, from-the-heart compliment each person in the group. My BEST friend was in my group, and when it was her turn to compliment me, I just looked at her and started crying my eyes out. Shows exactly how deep our relationship is - no need for words to describe how much we love each other.

And I have discovered three human teddy bears - Foxy, Pitty and Harley. I love them to bits.

That's all for tonight, and probably won't get a chance to write until Wednesday at the soonest.

Love, Simmy x

you can take my breath away

Would you dance if I asked you to dance?
Would you run and never look back
Would you cry if you saw me crying
Would you save my soul tonight?

Would you tremble if I touched your lips?
Would you laugh oh please tell me these
Now would you die for the one you love?
Hold me in your arms tonight?

(Chorus)
I can be you hero baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away

Would you swear that you'll always be mine?
Would you lie would you run away

Am I in to deep?
Have I lost my mind?
I don't care you're here tonight

Chorus

I just want to hold you (2x)

Am I in too deep?
Have I lost my mind?
Well I don't care you're here tonight

Chorus (2x)

You can take my breath my breath away
I can be your hero

vicious cycles (i almost posted it as "sycles" lol)

Why is that when I discover a figment of happiness, one person I genuinely care about (however new our friendship seems to be) has a major downfall and ends up not unsimilar to how I was just a week ago?

Why is it that there is not enough happiness to go around? If it is so infinite, why isn't she happy? Why is it that I had a major backstep when one of my friends is finally happy, then when I become happy again (almost), yet another friend gets crestfallen?

Sometimes I think that the world is the most unfair place to live.



I have been living in the same room since I was 6 years old. I can remember when I had to climb the shelves to get one of my stuffed animals down from the top (where Mum used to hide the ones she didn't want played with... I outsmarted her). Now it's where I hide my own stash. Lollies, fake money (don't laugh, it was part of my birthday present! I'm rich now =]), chocolate, secrets, and those funny hats I have, like the ones Katie and I got at Merriwa when we were like fourteen. I miss the days of being small and expected to be irrisponsible!

The next shelf down is where I hide my leftover alcohol from parties. Yes, I've had Cruisers, Ruskis, Smirnoff and other alcohol hidden behind my ghost costume for Drama in year 10. Other good times... Last day of year 10, the last Drama lesson, my last class with Simone. The last time I took a photo of her. RIP name theif. I love you, no matter what I said... by the way... you were wrong. I may be older but you died first. <3

Thats my ramble for the night.

My Weirdest Dream (that I remembered)

Bear in mind that this is a dream I have had (and I have no idea why!) and that none of these unbearably weird things have happened.

I was working at the local Woolworths (why? No idea) when a major storm hit. People were sent home due to the weather. I was one of them, as was Person X (like I'd name them on the net, honestly!). We walked out together and when we got to the doors to go into the carpark we hugged and said bye, but when we pulled away we looked into each others eyes and then proceeded to kiss passionately, thus closing my eyes. When I opened them, it was a scary little girl from my real workplace and she said something about it being okay and that we could work it out how to be together (which is very scary if you knew her. Very, very scary). [scene change] I hear a tap on the window. Its her. I don't want to be rude but I don't want her to know that I'd heard it. Then realised I had left window open, as she climbed into my room.
That's all I remember, as I think I woke up in a cold sweat at that point, scared shitless that it had actually happened and that I would have to explain to the girl that I was definitely not interested. Poor thing.

P.S any decoding is appreciated =]

Memories

When I was younger, when Pop was alive, I remember sometimes when we would go around we would pull up while he was mowing the grass. Grandma's neighbour does it for her now, and when I go around i always have to do a double-take because I always see him as Pop the first time I look.

I miss him so much.

I feel like I'm lonely (and I'm not looking for sympathy, just agreement on this one). I don't get to go and see my grandfather anymore, not face-to-face anyway, and most of the time I can't go to see my friends because, right now, the single ones are sick, and the couples are coupling up. I wish someone would couple with me, because I feel rejected. But I suppose it is because I am picky...

One of my friends is 'confused' because she keeps hooking up with this guy that she 'doesn't have feelings for'. Bullshit. She doesn't know what the meaning of confused is. She doesn't understand what it is like to be lied to constantly, and to be told all sorts of bullshit on a regular basis. She only knows what it is like to be handed the keys to a car, to be sent to Sydney to get ahead on subjects (but she isn't allowed to tell anyone. Ha) at university conference things. I'd love to be handed money and opportunity from all angles. She doesn't know what it is like to go without. "Respect people that are taller than you!" BULLSHIT: Respect your elders, kid!

I'm having a bit of a rant here. But what's a blog for other than rants?

I'm currently reading "My Desperate Love Diary" by Liz Rettig. Brilliant writing. But I have no idea what country it's set in! Hahaha its one of them UK countries... Maybe its in Ireland? Anyway, it's my saviour right now - the character in it is like me - friends coupled up, but she's still single. Lusting after a guy she probably can't have.

Ah well, what goes around...

I'll leave this rant where it is...

What the HELL?

I must be some sort of idiot or something, because now that my so-called 'best friends' have boyfriends I am getting kicked out of all activities. Just because they finally got together. Get the fuck over it. Whatever, you never even look at me anymore.

Okay I understand that I'm single, yes, but we're supposed to be friends. That means talking to me at times other than when you need a lift somewhere. Yes, I know you have 'other friends who drive you places', but I'm getting sick of only being spoken to when a lift is involved. Its not that far to walk to Maccas. Plus, it means you burn all that shit that you're gunna eat when you get there anyways.

So basically, I'm sick of being single. I've hated it most the time anyways. And it's worse when everyone around you seems to be coupling up. I just want someone to hold me when I'm not feeling great about myself, someone who will call me beautiful again. Someone who generally GIVES A SHIT.

God, I hate this

It's All Your Fault - Pink

I conjure up the thought of being gone
But I'd probably even do that wrong
I try to think about which way
Would I be able to? And would I be afraid?

'Cause oh, I'm bleeding out inside
Oh, I don't even mind, yeah

It's all your fault, you called me beautiful
You turned me out and now I can't turn back
I hold my breath because you were perfect
But I'm running out of air and it's not fair

Da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da...

I'm trying to figure out what else to say (what else could I say)
To make you turn around and come back this way (to come back this way)
I feel like we could be really awesome together
So make up your mind 'cause it's now or never (oh)

It's all your fault, you called me beautiful
You turned me out and now I can't turn back
I hold my breath because you were perfect
But I'm running out of air and it's not fair


I would never pull the trigger
But I've cried wolf a thousand times
I wish you could feel as bad as I do
I have lost my mind

It's all your fault, you called me beautiful
You turned me out and now I can't turn back
I hold my breath because you were perfect
But I'm running out of air and it's not fair


I hold my breath because you were perfect
But I'm running out of air and it's not fair

I think since January last year I am a completely different person. There are so many thing I have wanted to do, and threatened to do, that I have not gone through with.

Pink captures my feelings in this song and it kinda makes me feel better. I don't know how, but I do know that I can listen to her stuff and think of people who have been through more than I have. People who have lost everything, their family, their homes, like the people in Victoria. So many people have lost their lives, their properties, their pets.

I feel better now.

RIP Simone - 2 Months Today

Little did I know that when I read the bulletin quiz of an old friend from primary school this very evening I would be reminded of something I SHOULD NOT have forgotten. Today is two months since the passing of a friend of mine in a tragic car accident. I don't understand how it could have happened to such a special soul, and God do I miss her.
I don't know who of you have lost a friend or a loved one... but I know how hard it is. I lost two people in less than seven months. The first time I actually lost anyone.
So today is two months and I dedicate this to my beautiful angel Simone Wadsworth, aged seventeen, who lost her life at the scene where her car slammed into a tree out of town.
Losing someone is the hardest thing I have ever been through. Sure, when friends move away it's hard. But there's always the option of visits. When someone dies, you know it will be a longgg time until you see them again (and that's if you believe in an afterlife, which I do, I have to).
When Pop died on the 6th of June last year, I was miserable for so long. When it came to 8 months (just over a week ago) and i was reminded of that, I felt so shitty. Three days later I had a presentation due for English and it was about Belonging. Needless to say when the slide came up of Pop I went all mushy and ended up leaving the room, my presentation unfinished.
I know if i had put Simone in said presentation the whole room would have been out the door because everyone there knew her and loved her.
There's just something about the way that I handle these things that is different to other people, but I can't describe it, nor can I show it. It's just me I guess.

"St Valentines Day"

Oooohhkayy... so today is a poor excuse for a "holiday".
First of all, its RAINING! GAH! but thats not what I'm worried about.
Today is a lie. If you feel the need to say I love you today but can't be effed to say it any other day than you are a poor excuse for a human being.
Okay, so it's kinda cute for the little kids who cut out Valentines at school and give them to their friends, but in real life, if you are in a relationship, wouldn't you feel the need to say I love you more than once a year?
It's kinda stupid!
New relationship, first Valentine's Day, roses, choccies, dinner and a movie. Sure, go ahead. But by the third or forth, the guy usually gets over it and can't be stuffed spending the money. How bad does that make you feel! It's better to be ignored from the beginning than to be "gotten over" when it comes to a so-called "special day."
COMMERCIALISATION. What is St Valentine's Day but Hallmark's day to earn lots and lots of money. Too bad most people I know would rather write their partner a letter than buy a card. Sucks for you Mr Hallmark.
But seriously guys, it's VALENTINES DAY! Why not just love EVERYONE today, not just ONE person, but show your love for your friends, family and other half. Oh, and don't forget the dog.
Love, Simmy xo

Stupid Ex's

I have TWO official Ex Boyfriends. They are both idiots. And when I say idiot, I don't mean it affectionately anymore.

Lets call them ExA and ExB (how original!)

ExA

ExA & I went out for almost four months from January in 2008. We were friends before and after our relationship. This is my story of ExA:

When I broke it off with ExA I was in the process of getting over him. He had gone out with one of my best friends before me, and two days after our break-up, he's back with her again (so was I a replacement or was she the replacement?). I spent probably two weeks where we didn't speak. I blamed her. I cried to my Daddy every night.

They broke up, like last time, spent time apart, got back togetherm, broke up, he found a new girl (ironically with the same name and nickname as me... loser) then ended up back with my friend one last time before he moved interstate. Or so everyone thought.

Little do most people whom know us know, two days before New Years, they met up and went down to one of the parks and made out (for old time's sake? ha). Silly Simmy didn't know this, and agreed to be ExA's New Years Kiss (for old time's sake. again). Luckily, Silly Simmy had a nasty emo turn around midnight thus didn't embarrass herself by making a fool out of herself in front of one particular person who knew the whole thing and was messaging said friend about the happenings of the evening. The next morning I got a message off said friend, saying she felt "cheap". Simmy put 2 and 2 together and got 4, and figured out what happened.

I waited a couple of days before I messaged ExA VERY ANGRILY mentioning that I prefer to know if there had been any fooling around in the days before these things happen. There was another person whom I'd have happily given my New Years Kiss to, but NO Simmy wasn't told. Now not only does friend feel cheap, so do I, and used, and VERY ANGRY.

It was not my friend's responsibility to tell me the happenings of the days before New Years, because she wasn't in attendence to the party, nor was she the person being kissed by serial-bad-kisser ExA. YES BAD KISSERRRRRRRR. Go to hell.

ExB

I went out with ExB from the day after Valentines Day 2008 for two months. And when I say two months, I mean to the day.

We were friends sort of before we went out, and it was a complicated relationship. Very... umm... complicated, for need of a better word. Why is it that his one ended? Because I was selfish and thought only of myself and refused to talk about the problems between the two of us. Yes I admit it.

So yes, we had our little not-talking stint, attempted to return the friendship to the previous status, failed, and thus spoke only when we ran into each other in town.

This was not a bad thing, but I did a naughty (apparently). See I didn't know it was wrong to apologise publicly for being a nasty bitch of a girlfriend in myspace quizzes. Or allude to attempted break-and-enters of my vehicle in which I was attempting to sleep at the time. Needless to say, I ended up sleeping inside (which took a while with a 747 jet engine snorer just a few feet away).

I was abused through MSN for mentioning a name in a Quiz. I was accused of slandering all over myspace. I'm sorry for not doing it? Whatever. But no, he continues to accuse me of slandering. Its not my fault my brother says you are gay. I can't control the world sweetheart!

I am told of courtesty, which I believe he knows nothing of (refer back to the break-and-enter of my car), and at the mention of aid incident I am told "we are talking about the internet, not real life."

Take this for your online slandering dickwad.

I've had enough.

Welcome

Okay so i have done this before... not successfully...
So this is a fresh start for a fresh year. =]
Welcome to my life:
I'm seventeen, a girl, single, and quite interested in this certain guy (as there is with most girls)...
Eleanor (blushableteen.blogspot.com) inspired me to start again when I read hers.
I have just started (well sort of...) year 12... i don't like it but i don't hate it either.
I don't know why but my religion varies from Christian to Buddhist (I have values of both). I go to a Catholic school and do Studies of Religion 2 Unit, Food Technology, Physics, Advanced Mathematics and Standard English.
My parents are together, and I have an older brother.
I don't watch a lot of television, but I do watch How I Met Your Mother and NCIS.
I listen to a variety of music, including the Used, My Chemical Romance, Secondhand Serenade, Pink, and so on and so forth.
Sometimes I might just post lyrics of a song that I'm relating toright now instead of writing my feelings.
But this is all for tonight.
Love, Simmy xo
