All I have to say is:

Who let the squirells out? Who? Who? Who? Who?

Actually, that's a lie!

All I have to say (before I go to bed) is:

Who let the squirells and scandinavian water possums out? Who? Who? Who? Who?

adventures...

Well, after my adventures waiting AN HOUR! at the bus stop:

freezing cold,
scarf wrapped around my face making me look shifty
with it starting to rain

and the bus finally coming

then

I got a VERY unwanted massage on the bus... if you know what I mean, you know the good ol' great north road potholes... great fun... NOT!

then

Well, I tried to go to starbucks at Lyn Mall... which btw only has a B food safety rating now (displayed by the door, why would you do that with only a B!) and was also closed.

So I thought, I'll go to McCafe and get a Hot Chocolate to warm me up!

So I walk in
I look at the menu
I see a sign saying 'winter warmers' and I see something delectable looking called 'Cookies & Cream Frappe'.
Now bearing in mind that I am no coffee connoiuseur (or however you spell that word, silly French!)
I ordered this 'frappe'.
When I get it, I take a sip, to realise that it was... ICY... COLD

So much for their 'WINTER WARMERS'

Why would they put an iced drink on a menu called that.... i mean... honestly!

WHO WOULD DO THAT?

well folks, we all know the answer to that question don't we, McD's would!

signing out,

don't forget folks, SHEEK SHAFE SHELTER!

or better yet, SHEEP SHAVE SHMELTER!

Don't ask me, ask an ask-pop

Ode to the bus

For the director of music
To the tune of Never Alone - Barlow Girl

I waited for the bus, today
But it didn't show, Oh no
I needed it, to take me home
So where did it go?

They told me to go to the bus stop
Said it'd be there
and I just haven't seen you
Are you still coming?

I stood there with no way home
and I can only feel the wind on my skin
And my ears hurt, that's all I know
I'm here
and you're not

I only have a scarf to keep me warm
Oh oh
And I waited at the stop
And where are you?

You never come on time
You say you'll be there
You always keep me waiting
Why won't you come?

I'm waiting with no way home
I can't see you coming down the road
When are you gonna come to take me home
I'm here
and you're not

The rain is falling now
I'm getting colder
The bus still isn't here
I'm still waiting

You never come on time
You say you'll be there
You always keep me waiting
Why won't you come?

I'm waiting with no way home
I can't see you coming down the road
When are you gonna come to take me home
I'm here
and you're not

The Best Blog of my life

* Erratum – Replace today with 'last thursday' throughout.

SILLY BLOGSPOT... IT’S RUINING MY LIFE, LIKE YOU CAN’T EVEN IMAGINE... I’ve been planning this blog all day...only to get to my computer...type in the html and find......

BLOGSPOT WAS ALL GOOPED UP... KAPUT...BROKEN...NOT THERE!
Sorry about the yelling... sometimes I just can’t control myself because
It was most... vexing (hehe meeks)... mmm well anyway:

I realised today... my blog makes me seem like an emotional, pathetic girl. But that’s not me... that’s only the impression you get from here.
No matter what stereotype you try to fit me in... It just won’t fit.

If you think I’m a ditsy girl.... I am... but I’m not
If you think I’m a rock chick... I am... but I’m not
If you think I’m desperate... I’m not

If you think I’m immature... I am... but I’m not
If you think I’m smart... I am... but I’m not
If you think I’m your average Jill.... I’m not

No matter what Box you put me in
I don’t fit
Unless you have a special box
Just for me

Mhm... Me, in a poem... it’s better than me in a post card (ay meeks!)

Well today was such a great day...

We had this (sort of) scary (sort of) old lady teaching us about poetry and creative writing... I actually found it (sort of) interesting.

The funniest bit though was when she did a rap! Sam could barely contain his laughter... it was so funny... actually Sam’s face was just about funnier than the lady rapping (Sort of), twas overall quite amusing.

After school me and (some of) mah uni mates went ten pin bowling... and then to pizza hut.

Let me let you in on a little secret....

Last time I went bowling I got.... 6.... no, not strikes.... no just six

Yeah... single figures

Sad isn’t it. Well, I couldn’t very well see, no contacts had me, my hand-eye’s never been the best, and well, that explains the rest.

I also didn’t bowl the whole game... I gave up half way through

Well today... I got more than 6!



It was like ... amazing (for lack of a better word)

I actually got like... a spare ... and some other pins down ... it was like.... incredible!

But the best part of the day was:

- dancing to the music with the girls
- getting a present from geoff...and a really nice note
- ‘A Beautiful Day’ A present from Ruthy... my (sort of, in more ways than one) Little sister.
- the cute card from Jenna (that she likes looking at!)
- Having some of my bestest mates with me
- PIZZAAAAA
- The beautiful poem..
- I’m married to a chicken (well, it’s better than a long-drop)
- My cake, with a cone for a candle that just wouldn’t blow out
- “ I love it when they describe people as ugly”
- Jenna turning in the ‘OUT’ and then freaking out (it was (partly) my fault)
- Being animals with the most darlingest 2 yr old at lunch time today!
- Getting stared at for screaming and laughing maniacally in the pizza hut bathrooms ( I really don’t understand this ay...)
- and all the other ‘you just had to be there’ moments

And to top it all off... we had a car park (3-person) dance party.

I will never forget this birthday party, the one where me, Jenna and Buffy danced like madwomen in the car park outside our teacher’s college.... to ‘It’s raining men’

Car park Dance parties are the best!

If you haven’t tried one... you are MISSING OUT!!!!

The funniest thing was the security parking guy who was parking people from the event at the trust stadium across the road in our carparks... but anyway

He called someone up, half way through our first song ‘Ironic’ and we were scared he was going to call a security guard to come get us ‘drunk’ people. WE weren’t drunk... only soft drinks... but we were worried all the same
So we

Kept Dancing!

And to top it all off

“ I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair” ...

Is STUCK (and when I say stuck I mean STUCK) ON MY HEAD!
Yes, On

I did say On

Didn’t I?

Oh mmmm

Odd

Yes, songs have a way of getting stuck on my head... it is .... interesting!

This was... (sort of)long (for lack of a better word)

Beat beat beat upon the tom-tom...

This was spurred on by Sam's
latest blog:
http://theguruoffunkyslippers.blogspot.com/2006/08/macphisto.html...

I read Walk on - The Spiritual Journey of U2 for a history assignment that I did on U2 - twas a pretty mint assignment to say the least.
It's quite a challenging read ... it challenges your thoughts about christianity's definitions etc.

Bono is quite an inspiration to me, because of his heart, and sure, there are things about him that aren't very 'christian' and I can't make the judgement on whether or not he's a christian, and none of us can, but he still inspires me.

A lot of the stuff that he says in the book is about the legalism of the church. Legalism basically means the laws... they "You shall" and "You shall not" 's.

Sam commented, and I agree that this is in contrary to the message of the gospel. It makes it more a social obligation than something from the heart. It's a challenging thought to be a christian right from the core, from the heart,and not because of the laws, but because of the grace we've been given. I believe that wherever you are... we are the light... and we have to be acting as children of the light. I also believe that it is important to have a strong commitment to the Body of Christ (not necessarily 'church' as many define it). But our commitment is first and foremost to God, and then to the Body of Christ (which is a direct flow-on of our commitment to God) very interesting and thought provoking stuff ...

I sick

Yucky.... I sick *sneezes*
I better get better quick... I have youth group camp this weekend that I'm supposed to be worship leading for some of it... and I can't sing right now.
Very not cool!

Anyone who wants to pray for me... feel free :D

And pray for the people affected by the death of that student, whose body they found last thursday/friday in wellington... I know someone who knew the guy (well, the sister of the guy)
and yeah, the funeral was today.... prayer for the family and friends would be good.

Found a song which many of you can probably identify with (that is the single one's of you, which is most of you) obviously you may have to replace the he with she and the she with he throughout, but in essence it's the same. Oh, i'm sure you guys get it, you're all smart!

He stood alone - by One Man's View:

he stood alone
waited for time to turn by
saw them holding hands
wondered when he would do the same

he, he wondered if she would come
he, he wondered if there was a one

be still and know there’s a time for everything
under the sun it says
a time to embrace
a time to refrain

he, he wondered if she would come
he, he wondered if there was a one
he wondered, he wondered, he wondered
he, he wonderd if there was a one

Tiredness!!!!!!!! A Nanna and proud of it!

Oh gosh, I just can't seem to shake my tiredness from placement... I've been getting an ordinary number of hours of sleep, and it just doesn't seemt to be making a difference. It's very 'frushtating' to quote my darling buffy... check out her blog www.buffyandjujubees.blogspot.com and also sam's www.theguruoffunkyslippers.blogspot.com Buffy's may not be as funny if you don't know her... but Sam's ... it'll blow you away! haha altho most of you probably know that already... oh well

ummmmm

i better go to the place where little old ladies belong at this time of nite, to bed! haha

Here's a really beautiful song by a guy called Adam Watts - if you never heard of him(which, granted, you probably havent'!) you should check him out, his songs are really beautiful and thought provoking, kind of mellow too! I like it, i like it a lot. Random trivia fact... well all of you would have heard the Song Beautiful Soul by Jesse McArtney... well Adam Watts actually wrote it... as well as producing many other BEC (and other) recording albums incl. Jeremy Camp and others... he also plays some mint guitar(and some other instruments), has a great voice, writes amazing songs... he actually played pretty much all of the instruments on his CD, wrote, produced, engineered and mixed all of the songs on his CD! He's quite a genius one might say!
haha
anyway, enough of a rant
(well not quite actually! haha )
This is such a gorgeous song... I hope some guy thinks like this about me some day:

How does it Feel

Hey beautiful lady
how does it feel to know that you got me
head over my heels

I'm thinking that maybe I could be lost
Do you wanna find me
Forget the cost

Just enjoy me
Enjoying what I see
I see you
You

Hey beautiful lady
Are you for real
I'm hearing your heartbeat
I'm watching as you steal mine

I know that you're pacing
Taking your time
My wonderful lady,
Come and be mine, mine, mine

Open to me
Let yourself fly on
I know we'll never go wrong
Open to me
Let yourself Fly on and on
Fly on

I see you
You

*tear* beautiful isn't it?
