So yesterday I pulled out my old diary that I started at the end of grade 6, and had through till the early 2000's. I couldn't help reading through it.
Some of what I wrote was silly not understanding the bounds of reality. The early stuff is kinda sad because I was so close to my cousins Jade and Caitlin for a while there, and now I never see them, and have nothing in common with them anymore.
Some stuff is funny, how it changes from 1 post to another, like how in the first post I didn't want to start high school....and then in the next post I couldn't wait. Or I'd be best friends with someone, and then next post I'd be hating them. Oh how teen issues are complicated!
Pretty much most of pop culture that I talk about in this diary is Charmed, which was my big no.1 tv show for a few years. However, there are also mentions of Spice Girls a lot.
And in 1998 Alicia Silverstone was my fave Actress, and my fave movie was Spiceworld.....WOW. I mean weird! But then again I was only 12.
TV Hits was my fave magazine, and then I saw Titanic...and I became obsessed with Leo Dicaprio! Even scarier! Oh the scary 90's teenybopper music bands they had.....in 1999 butterfly clips came in, and went out...
These are a few random notes that I pulled out from it:
There is one part in March of 2000, where I really hated my name, and thought the following were good names....Prue, Phoebe, Libby, Alyssa, Shannen, Anastasia, Buffy or Sabrina.....WHAT?! I was seriously disturbed!
Also in March 2000, I listed my fave tv shows, highlighting my faves: Friends, Ally McBeal, The Practice, Home and Away, Charmed, Neighbours, Above The Law, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Angel, Blue Heelers, Providence, Dawson's Creek, Just Shoot Me, Family Law, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, 7th Heaven, Popstars, and Dharma and Greg. Hmmm.
-I'm a little embarrassed by some of those...I'll let you decide which :P
I have learned I was was always in love with Joshua Jackson :P, however I liked some guys back then that I can't explain reasons for!
WOW I used to think that my cousins living in Eltham was far!!!! Oh funny.....however when you don't have access to a car, Eltham IS really really far...(lol it rhymes)
awwww I made comment about preparing to watch the ep of Ally McBeal where Billy dies.....sad :(
But why is there a whole paragraph about what is GOING to happen on my tv shows? weird.
For some weird reason in the year 2000 I was keen on dying my hair brown....
Also in 2000 I created my very first website. A site dedicated to Charmed (ofcourse!)
I love that ever since 2000 I haved wanted to be Alice in Wonderland for a dressup party...but still never have been.
Then in 2001 we got The Sims, and I am still playing all these years later...what can I say, I love building and decorating houses, and the pretend families aren't that bad either :P
Ok Yes....totally random, and not making a lot of sense, but its funny how things have changed, and how some things haven't.

A Weekend in The Country
Ok...so Frankston isn't exactly the country...but you pass a few paddocks and stuff to get there!
So this past week I was pretty busy, or at least occupied. Monday I went with Mum down to see my uncle Neil and aunt Marg's new place. It is pretty fancy, without being TOO modern or annoying. But they do tend to buy in those designed groups of houses so they all match and stuff.
Tuesday was $1.95 movie rental day at VideoEzy, so Mum and I went and got The Ugly Truth and My Sister's Keeper. We watched The Ugly Truth that arvo, it was a shocker, but not as bad as it could have been....but not good...so predictable with little else to offer to make up for it.
Tuesday night Jacinta and I went out to Sofia's for dinner, with an early stop at JB. I finally bought season 6 of Will and Grace. After our kinda early dinner (for eating out) we walked down to Borders and explored for a while. Jacinta bought stuff...I didn't. (As usual)
We hung out at my place for a while afterwards, watching Superbowl ads on youtube....however nothing was that interesting really. I always thought those ads were supposed to be cool and interesting...I guess not. lol
Wednesday I finally got around to watching My Sister's Keeper. I haven't read the book, but I had really wanted to see it anyways. I thought it was really good, and found it really interesting, in a almost too close to home kind of way. Lets just say it brought up a lot of old memories from when I was going through the chemo and stuff.
-I know the ending in the book is different, and since I haven't read it, am not sure if it makes sense when you read it, but the movie ending seems to make more sense.
Thursday was another shift at Safeway. The storms made for a bit of excitement at the end of the shift. I had a great view of all the lightening and rain. Finally a bit of a break from the heat!
Yesterday I watched some of the Winter Olympic opening ceremony...but I don't think I care that much about them...I mean I'll probably watch bits and pieces of the hockey and iceskating, but won't really go out of my way to watch it.
Then in the evening I did usual movie night with Ness. We somehow managed to watch a bunch of stuff that had none of the same people in it...which is rare with us. We watched some more Ally McBeal, and Walk The Line. We went out to get soft drink, and stopped at the ATM, and I thought I got out $20...however today when I opened my purse I only had a 10 in there....so either I never picked up the money, or I lost it somewhere...possibly the movies? I don't know. But anyways...I'm going to be very attentive when I go to ATMs from now on!
Today we went and saw Valentines Day...on Valentines Day. It was pretty packed in the cinema, but we were smart and went down early and got our tickets...because we came back after getting milkshakes and the line was all the way out the door! The movie was really good...I mean there were so many people in it that I would have liked it anyways. But there were bits that were really cute! Most importantly they didn't skimp on the Jennifer. She was in it plenty!
So there it is, my past week....not very exciting...unless you're me I guess.

Wow I'm Bad
No posts in weeks! I guess I've been distracted with other things, cause God knows I haven't been busy!
Lets see....post-wedding, I was pretty much recovering from sunburn. It hurt for a little while, but not too badly. Then it became itchy and I was peeling a little. -in case you were wondering :p
I've been working the last few Thursdays at Safeway...which is weirding me out. But at least its money going back onto my credit card, and allowing me to stop dipping into the last of my savings. Now that school holidays are over, the store has gotten busy again, but it's not too bad.
Other than the once a week work, I did a few social activities. Sunday Ness and I went to see Nine, which was pretty good, but not a catchy traditional musical. But it was nice to see a lot of people who don't normally sing, sing. The night before we did movie night with Nick and Kay, which is always fun...but more fun when we don't have pizza issues. I guess we order so much pizza from that place, we were due for a mix-up!
Then, it was a double dose of Jacinta last week. Tuesday we went to see Alvin and the Chipmunks 2...it was pretty bad, but not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I actually enjoyed it....I mean there were so many people I like in it. Then we did burgers at the new place next to the ticket box. - not bad, although a little big for me to handle...I like the chips with their different seasonings. After that since we were melting in the heat, we headed back to her place, and watched tv and talked about all those shows and books we used to read as kids. Then talked travel with her mum and bro....got some nice tips for my trip.
Wednesday we did a trip down to DFO in Cheltenham. Jacinta found some stuff....but I left with nothing again. She took a good chunk of my cd collection and we made plans for next week.
No more movies this week, but I do have a free one now...so I'm sure there will be more to see soon!
Other than the social stuff, mostly I've been watching dvds, playing Sims 2 and slowly getting through some house clean up and organisation....while also looking for jobs. Lets hope something comes up soon!
