Hullo...

no time...

Goodbye...

[beanie]

Hey Galen - good to hear from you... though albeit brief!

I'm about to head to my sociology tutorial... sounds really sophisticated and all but it's not really. Come to think of it, I think we just have one more person to present a presentation and then we're all going down to have Coopers... (Oh yeah... so patriotic to South Aussie beer!)

The only major news in my life today is that I'm really tired cos I couldn't sleep well last night it was so freaking cold! I have 5 huge blankets on my bed now, and I sleep in my tracky-dacks. It's worse than New Zealand, I reckon!

Oh yeah, and I'm heaps sore cos I worked heaps hard at gymnastics last night. Aside from the usual muscle pain, I have a tender neck as I was learning an 'angel roll' and in my first attempt landed on my head! Well, I mastered the roll by the end of the evening and I suspect you'll see me in the next Olympics... although perhaps not performing as angelically as the name suggests.

Time for tute... chow for now.

C'mon girls... It's about 3 degrees and you're all wearing mini skirts, mini tops, mini shoes... It's freezing. Mini skirts are barely fashionable (and much less practical) in the summer without you trying to carry on the look through the winter. You look so cold you make me cold. You dress like you don't have a brain that realises it's freezing and that perhaps you should put more clothes on. Is there any excuse? Call me for fashion advice in the winter. I am the guru. Trust me.

"tracky-dacks"? Do I want to know?

Tacky dacks are the best, most comfy piece of clothing one can own. They're track pants, my dear Galan. That's all. We just call them tracky dacks... tracky meaning for excercise or whatever... dacks being the australian slang for pants/trousers. (Trousers is a funny word, eh?)

In other news...

We lost netball last night. I hate loosing.

I've got heaps of work to do. If only I could start.

Tonight we're having home made pasties for dinner.

I've gone off my evening primrose oil herbal tablets that I was originally taking to clear up some skin problems, but I think it's made me bipolar-emo, so I've gone cold turkey off primrose to see if I return to normal. Ha.

My mum arrives in a week. I love my mum.

We have new neighbours moved in down the road. I might go and say hi.

Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. 2 Corinthians 3:17-18

PS. Upon re-reading my zero tolerance post above, I have to admit to the ownership of a denim mini-skirt. Not as mini as some, but still quite mini for Bonnie. I brought it for $4 at Go-Lo (the low price people). I've worn it about 4 times, so I figure I've got my moneys worth.

So do you think the primrose oil made you bi-polar? Did it help clear your skin?

Okay, bi-polar is a pretty strong way of putting it. I haven't been "medically examined" or anything like that, nor do I think I need to be. Me and a few of my close friends have just noticed that I've changed in teh past 6-9 months. Orginally we thought it was because of my experience in NZ, but it just didn't make sense, because... well, I just didn't have a peace about that being the reason. Basically, I used to be pretty level-headed with emotions. I did go up and down, but at a much small degree, like a normal person. Then, last week, I was hanging with my two good friends, Kate and Kez, and they mentioned that I'm so moody and angry and frustrated at times that they just want to scream at me. Ryan, every so often, would make a comment about it as well.

His Mum gave me the herbals last year to help with my skin - which they did, to some degree. She also mentioned at the time that they can make you moody - well, that they made her a bit moody/loopy and she only took them for a while when she was young. Evening primrose is good for skin care and PMT.

Anyways, I was just spending some time with God on Sunday and asking for strategies about managing life better, inquiring about my emo-ness. It was then I remembered what Ry's mum had told me. Today is my 4th day off them, and already I feel much better. I think we'll have to wait a month or 2 to see if they were really were part of the problem. Ry even said, last night when we were talking, that it was like talking to the old, more relaxed Bonnie. He quite enjoyed it!!

(Praise Him for revealing ways to keep our temples in working order!)

So, yes, they did clear my skin up a little better. I don't think they had much effect on my PMT though, not that I get it real bad anyway. But I do think that they have some effect on my extreme emotions and we shall see what coming off them does.

Happy 21 to me for the other day. I'm sick. I'm going to wag uni and go to bed. Nyny!

[beanie]

well, just kidding. they're too big to download and i don't know how to make them smaller. someone tell me and then i'll do it.

i had a really good as night. i wore an awesome red dress which i picked up for 8 dollars. a rad necklace which was 4 times as much as that! i made my shoes out of starburst wrappers and my hairdresser did my hair in this funky japanesy type style and let me pay her with mandarins from the tree in my backyard. i felt so pretty and i had so much fun. there was so many people there. when i got up to do my speech, i was so overwhelmed. however, i didn't have to say much. 3 out of 4 brothers did speeches (and 3 out of 4 brothers were there), as did 2 girl friends, 2 guy friends and my parents. it was pretty special.

one of my best friends flew in from perth, which is a 4 our flight away. another friend, plus ryan, my boyfriend and his brother and parents, came all the way from melbourne (a full days drive). it was the big "meeting of the parents" for our folks. i think they got along okay.

i got so many presents it was crazy. on my invitation i wrote "buy random things". i got a wooden frog, a rubber ball with a bat and a crazy, ugly frog. very strange, but very cool. anyways, gotta go. i'll write more later.

A friend told me that PowerToys for Windows XP from Microsoft is a good program for that.. Just download and install PowerToys. Then, whenever you want to resize a pic, right click on the pic and choose to resize it. I haven't used it, but he says it's good.

Hey Nix,
Lemme know when the info for parachute 07 comes out. I'm aiming to get across for it.


Thanks Church Punk... Too bad I don't actually have my own computer, otherwise, that'd work swimmingly. Where's Laputa?

[guitarfan01]

ahh.. I can see how that would cause a problem.. Laputa is a floating island from the anime "Castle in the Sky"..
