The Guys

As promised a few months ago... These are some of 'The Guys' who shared this over seas trip with me in no particular order...

The Laddies Man

Andrew spent a decent amount of his WYD trip looking out for cute, hot or attractive girls. If ever he was lost you simply had to think of where the girls would be and BAM! you could find him no worries. Funnily enough before the trip, both of our families had predicted we'd hook up overseas, a few friends agreed as well! We didn't think it would happen at all and... it DIDN'T! However we did share a room a few nights, not alone though... always with our room mates and only as friends ourselves. Andrew has a tendency to lick people on the face when he's drunk and sometimes when he's not. But he is a man of friendship, you could really trust him to be there if you ever needed him.

The Dad

Brad was our group leader and soon enough became our overseas father, keeping us in order- giving Andrew and I a good talking to after our sleepover in Rome. A principal in high-schools so he kept to the rules even though as a teen he used to break them often, or so it was told. He was always willing to share in with the laughs and add a witty comment to lighten the mood. Truly and genuine Aussie bloke always there for his adopted children.

The Giggle Guts

Jack laughed his butt off for most of the trip, well when his nose wasn't bleeding. We had a fake temporary relationship for part of the trip, one big joke really but it was a great source of entertainment. One particular train ride was torturous for him however hilarious for the rest of us. Jack desperately needed to go to the toilet so instead of leaving him to his own thoughts I continued to crack jokes, corner him or just stand in his personal space. A very loyal and dedicated individual with a great focus on Christ ... if fact he's entering the seminary this coming year.

The Preacher

Many a great debate, conversation and discussion was conducted by Luke, our Catholic teen, up to date on all the latest new issues, teachings of the church and just all round opinions. A very spiritual person with his heart always in the right spot and following Catholic values, this guy doesn't care what other think about him but instead thinks about the moral issues in society, never devaluing a woman in anyway and always sticking up for what it right. He was also great for a game of cards, a chat or some uno.

The Giant

Jonathan is insanely tall, every time I see him I forget how tall he really is. He also smiles a whole bunch,  Jon was always there to say what everyone was thinking but didn't say out of politeness, or to ask the simple questions. Wonderful for a laugh, there to provide games and encouragement. He was sick for a part of the trip, suffering from dehydration but he quickly recovered and restored his position amongst us. Is the first one to make plans and help out whenever he's free, spreading the smiles.

The Young Spanish Priest

We met Padre Raul on the first night of our home stay, at this point he spoke not a word of English, but within a week he had learnt so much. He taught us how to speak a little spanish and how to pray the 'our father'. We taught him how to say 'I love you' and give people wet willy's when they were sleeping. Padre thought that everyone was with someone (as in everyone was dating) none of us were though (cept for Shelby and Sherwin) so he proceeded to pair us all up. Many of our fond memories come from him and our hilarious bus rides, stories and 'complications'.

The Ultimate Cool Guy

He's the guy every girl wants to be with and the one every guy wishes to be. Tall, dark, handsome, funny, sporty, a family guy and friends with EVERYONE!! His name is Philippe and I had it bad for him instantly even before we left Sydney but what I didn't know was that we'd actually see each other on this trip and boy did we see each other. We got to know each other pretty well over the trip but unfortunately we figured it wouldn't work out in the end. Phil also provided us with heaps of trivial knowledge, constant laughs, jokes and stories and absolutely amazing smile okay so i'm biased but he's a really nice guy who also aspires to become a priest.

The Little Brother

Tom was the youngest guy on our trip, the younger sibling of Jack... he was pretty quiet, I think he was just listening to all of us for most of the trip and sussing out his thoughts. unfortunately he was sick for a large amount of the trip but that didn't stop him for punching out witty comments and stating facts. He was great to push around... just kidding, he was our little brother... to all of us.

The Joker

Fr Suresh provided a lot of the other jokes and the somewhat annoying chant 'I wanna zoom zoom zoom into the room room room, I want to zoom into the room and praise the Lord' =D which eventually grew on us anyhow. He also gave us the spiritual knowledge we needed on our journey and an absolutely awesome talk on relationships in Assisi. He'll always be there for the youth of Parramatta and he truly is hilarious.

The Shop-a-holic 

Michael was not seen anywhere other than @ Zara when we were overseas... only kidding we saw him other places too.. like meal times and Gelato stops but mostly just at the shops! For someone who is going to become a Priest you'd think he wouldn't like clothes so much, oh well.

The Love Bird (2)

Sherwin makes up one half of the only couple that was with us on the trip (also both Indian). Another sweet guy that contributed to both discussions and game time, the sort of guy who's looking out for all of us but at the same time prioritising his girlfriends needs first. Assisi was a fun time for him, he got sneezed on by a sheep, pushed into a pool and got lost in the city.

The Nice Guy

Romel was our nice guy, the sincere, genuine, friendly, sweet, sensitive guy too bad he's already taken ladies. Romel later renamed Lemor (his name backwards to sound more French) was our Jacinta and I's favourite person to hang with. Even though he's quiet, he's the go to guy with anything you need to talk out and he'd always be there if you needed him.

The Holy Guy

Stefan, currently a seminarian managed to participate in every mass ceremony overseas, usually right at the front of the line up too. Sporting a very thick Australian accent, this guy grew up in the bush and isn't afraid to pick fun at you or participate in a practical joke as long as no one really gets hurt. He could sleep through anything, which didn't help when we were supposed up and ready by 8 one morning, we were sooo late.

The Tour Guide 

Marco was our insanely awesome tour guide who could speak a few languages including English, Spanish and Italian. Highly entertaining, informative, a little bit of a joker and a generally a funny guy who stuck up for our rights whenever we went. He took us to all the best spots, gave us all the best deals and even kept in contact with us since WYD.

Hope you're all doing well, i'll be sure to post about the girls very soon  :)

Buon giorno!!!! =DDDDDDDDDDDDD (warning this will be long)

It's been so so long since I've blogged so I thought it'd be a good idea to catch you up on things...

I made it to WYD in Madrid!!!! It was absolutely amazing, an experience that will never be repeated no matter how hard I try.

We began high up in the mountains of Spain at beautiful little villages, filled with the most wonderful people you could ever imagine. Of course coming from Australia and being typically lazy I couldn't speak a word of Spanish so there was just the slightest language barrier um yes agua, gratzi. The first week I stayed at a sort of convent/hospital/hostel with a small group of people from our tour and the sisters of the village as well as the disabled elderly that they took of. It was so completely peaceful up there with the most breath-taking view... which we didn't see until the morning having arrived at around 2am.

Went to Fatima during that week for a day trip. This day was one of my favourite days of the trip most likely because I got to know one of the guys on our tour quite well, but also because of the amazing atmosphere. Thousands of us gathered on the 13th day of the month to celebrate mass in the 40+ degree heat (uncovered I might add... and I forgot to pack water that day) Yeah... there are so many things I could tell you about that day... and so many things I dream of living again.

The second week we moved into the heart of the city Madrid. Many of the planned events that were established month in advance were packed out. It didn't matter how many hours earlier you arrived there was always bucket loads of people... not to mention a lack of water, toilet and transportation. Although I missed out out on a great many things that week as well as a number of other people, it is surely a week that is tattooed in my memory bank. All the different people I met from other countries were amazing and it was just so brilliant to be in an environment in which all (well most apart from the crazy riot-ers during that week) were happy and joyful + enriched in the faith. There wasn't a train (metro), restaurant, hotel, shop, park that wasn't full of pilgrims, laughs, songs, chanting and all round happiness.

As time went by, I got to know all the people on my pilgrimage better, we learnt to tolerate each others weaknesses and see what made someone tick. You could tell from at breakfast wether or not it would be a fun day with my based on my crazy morning hello rounds. It often happens that when you spend too much time around some people you become more and more like them, not only this but you start to pick up traits... you also start to create "in-joke" and memories. We were certainly not in short supply of these.. perhaps i'll mention some to you in the weeks to come [along with friend profiles]. We adopted some british pilgrims along the way, they had no where to stay after being locked out of the final mass, so we dragged them back to our accommodation and had a mini sleep out of our own indoors.

Mary, Sean, Matt, Me, Kate, Mike, Luke

Our last week was spent in Rome and Assisi, which I have to say are some of the most beautiful places I've ever been :) I cried in them both, funny that I cried in Italy but I don't think I cried at all in Spain. Why did I cry you ask? well in Rome something amazing happened to me within the walls of St. Peters basilica after praying to Blessed JP2... so that brought tears of joy. Later that week in Assisi on our last day, after celebrating mass in an absolutely beautiful cathedral I realised I had to go home and I wanted to stay so badly that I shed some tears of sadness.

Overall this experience was something like no other and there are simply too many things I could tell you , that i honestly have no time to write about... so for now thanks for reading  =D

Love Dani aka "The Sleeper"

Silver

Hey Hey

So I'm on holidays now... and what do you do when you're on holidays??? absolutely nothing of worth right!!! Well maybe not, but that's what I'm doing these days...

I got my uni result back... 3 credits!!! which is awesome!! or so i think, well for me anyway- cept I got a fail to =[ noooooooo how sucky... looks like i'm not gonna finish my degree in 3 yrs now coz i'll have to wait round till next yr to finish this unit again---- at least the next time i do the unit i'll be prepared.

My trip to WYD is less than a month away which is so awesome!!!!! but I'm no where near ready yet... i still have to buy a bag to travel with, a sleeping bag for summer, clothes that are semi respectable for when I need to go into churches... which I'm guessing will be pretty often.

Mum and Dad had there 25th Wedding anniversary the other day which is pretty cool don't u think??? I mean that says something about who they are and who I am and how much they love each other- it is a quarter of a century after all... (hence the 'silver'... for 25yrs)

I had a simply awesome saturday night last weekend.. after all my school friends ditched me for a sleepover that was supposed to happen at my place I hung out with some uni friends instead... it took us half the evening to decide what we were gonna do, then after we decided we'd go to a fancy dress party it took us hrs to get ready and drive there - so by the time we got there all ready to go the party was just finishing and everyone was going home... we decided to part on and went to the place called "The Mill" but we kinda forgot we were in fancy dress, so when we got there, there were sooooo many ppl looking at us funny (I was wearing a jail outfit which was pretty awesome but it really did attract a lot of attention).

This guy actually came up to me and asked for my number... so i kinda just gave it to him even though i wasn't interested in him in the least. He txtd that night saying  "heyyyy gorjeus" sounded too seedy for me so I ignored his calls for a few days... eventually answered one and told him not to call again- he called me a bitch and so i'm pretty sure that relationship is over YEEESSSSSS!!!!!! I mean poor random guy :(

Had a crazy terrible week this week though... been sick with cough/cold/flew/randomness and been stuck indoors getting better so that I can go to my best friends 21st this weekend. Atm I'm on so so so many different things pumping me with goodness and recoveryness and I hope it all works coz I can't wait for Sat!!! :P

Kissy Face

Hello all, this post isn't long and it's got some interesting pondering topic... drop a comment, I'd like to know what you think :P .

It's been a while but as of 2day I'm officially finished all assessments and singing tasks for uni! this semester!!!! YAYYY!!!! and the crowd goes wild rahhhhh. Anywage my final performances were a blast and so was band practice!!! Now that we've done our first sort of gig we can get into it... if fact Kara started writing a song 2nyt in the shower not 3 hrs after our performances were done... Legend!!!!


I had to work last weekend instead of going to a friends 21st which totally sucked apart from the fact that  I got paid. While waiting for guests to arrive (it was a Filo 21st so everyone was running on Filo time) I realised that we all do this strange kissy face... whenever you go to greet someone by kissing them on the cheek. It's like you pull your face muscles and pout your lips forward and to the side. Even sometimes you don't touch the other person and ur making this weird expression... seriously next time someone is greeting someone else watch from a distance... in a non-freaky-weird-stalker way.

In other news: One of my friends who I've basically only known for 2 weeks now is sick atm and in hospital. The doctors don't know what's wrong with him so for now he's imprisoned there... got any ideas of things he can do to keep from getting bored???? leave a suggestion in the comments, plz!! =D


Whilst visiting him in hospital some of his friends arrived... I watched as they did the weird kissy face and awkward after hug pause.... honestly what are you supposed to do after a hug - like I always feel like I should say something or do something or adjust my clothing... I just don't know, how about you?? what do you do?

This friend of mine is on a heart monitor that displays this image...

what do you make of it?? we think he's an Alien or a completely messed up human!!

Love you all leave a comment, STAY WELL!!! xxx

Old Blog... Fresh Start!!!!

Hey guys :P  NEW BLOG TIME!!!!

But first... a space to say goodbye to the old format, the old memories and the old crappy shit that happened in my love life...

Elle Pumpkin:  Elle - my hope for a new name using half of my actual name... Pumpkin: nickname given to me by an ex and then made fun of by another... [picture of my eyes with the quote "it's something in you're eyes" = something that both of my ex's use to say when they looked into my eyes]

The whole reason why I started this blog was because someone I once dated had one... but his blog was basically a vent about our former relationship and his regrets etc... for some time I was addicted to reading his blog to see what he really thought...  but when I started reading it he censored it anyhow. I created my own blog to subscribe to his and talk about my life etc. but this was extremely stupid and eventually I found that I was only getting upset by what he wrote in his blog and I was posting about my blah blah sad morbid feelings.

I then began to talk about other relationships and things, so that if he or anyone else read my blog, it would make them jealous... how childish right??? anyway I thought it'd be such an awesome thing to do but in the end that just created more random shit things in my real life... including ruining some great relationships.

Later I wrote about funny things that occurred with friends, uni, family or work and this was okay but all the old stuff kept creeping in coz I wasn't over my past 2 relationships (even though I was the one that broke em off in the first place... grr i'm a douche) OMGOSH why on earth am I boring you with this, anywage... yes I said anywage, not anyway... it's just something I saw coz I'm cool like that

Now it'll be all different or so i'll try... hopefully from now on it'll just be funny things/experiences, friends, family, uni, work and my photography!!!!!!

Much love Danipants =D stay safe!!! luv u xxx

The Strongest Girl

Long time no post... I know - Sorry I'll try and become your entertainment again and stop being a lovesick teen emphasis on try [but first one more sappy thing]

Dad and  Uncle John busting their moves

Birthday Girl

My cousin turned 21 last week =D. It's actually one of the most important birthdays of late or so I think because my cousin suffers from CF [Cystic Fibrosis] which is an incurable disease in which the patient has difficulty breathing but there are also very many bodily symptoms. Many people who are born with this disease die at a young age and this is specifically why it was so awesome to celebrate her 21st birthday with friends and family.  (This may not have been possible had she not gotten a lung transplant)

I didn't just dance with my cousin and her friends, I also rocked the dance floor with my hilarious uncle John Rowe who was too far beyond the point of embarrassment that he just became cool. Also I was able to steal a dance with my daddy :p

This friday is actually Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Day Donate/Find out more 

In other news/ Random thoughts:

Are feeling like a little change?? I think I may scrap this whole blog layout and start again :/

All this time all I needed was a txt from you both 2 stop my thoughts. Bye Bye

Had the most hilarious car trip into the city last tuesday night.

My uni work is going down hill slowly but at least i'm having fun in the mean time.

I've become addicted to dA and now even though I don't go on fb during the week I'm still spending way to much time on the comp.

21st Birthday are so much fun when it's your friends turning 21.

*Blushes* I've been getting guys numbers lately all over the place... it's so cool.

I've almost completed all the frames to hang on my walls.

The band it almost together... we are just narrowing down our name selection now.

I went to class last week.. even though you didn't and it was epic without you.

Promise

I've been on here since november of last year and since that time I have developed a sort of format for my posts. I basically always follow the same pattern and I finish with a bible passage.

Some people think that I add it on coz I'm Catholic etc. but in fact that's not the case... I add it on because of a promise I made last year on the 3rd of May (2010).

The promise was to read one bible passage a day and to additionally go to church at least once a month not including normal sundays and Holy days of obligation. So the 3rd of May is fast approaching and so basically at that point I can sign off ... knowing I've completed my promise =D. 

(Made as a leader on the 2010 Antioch weekend).

Now you know why I add it on and now you'll know why I perhaps won't add it in future :P not that it matters either way to you.

May the grace of the Lord Jesus be with everyone.

Easter Week: Holy Thursday - Easter Sunday

Holy Thursday: is the Christian feast or holy day falling on the thursday before Easter that commemorates the Lat Supper of Jesus Christ and Apostles. 

I had a sleepover with some of my friends the day before so that in the morning we could go to uni and get some practice done... which we did and then had a meal of hot chips for lunch. Exhausted from lack of sleep and non healthy food on return to my house we crashed on the makeshift beds for a few hrs. At 4pm we began our trip back to their houses but stopped off on the way for some eggs.


Kit Wing and I got completely lost on the way back to her place after getting the short cut wrong - thanks to my lack of attention paid the first time we travelled there, but come on it was night -  After I dropped Kitty I was determined to get back for church on time even though it had already begun.


My journey home was a "lost" cause.. I found myself lost again after several tries even though I knew exactly where I was and where i needed to go... eventually I decided it was a good idea to visit my grandparents. I rocked up to their door at 8:30 and was welcomed in lovingly... gifted with eggs and an awesome camera (film SLR).


Late this evening/early the next morning there were helicopters, sniffer dogs and police in the bush-lands behind my house... they had been searching for and found the remains of the body of Kiesha Abrahams. That's a lot of prayers answered I'd say. Around the same time of the morning my family had it's own moment... something I've been expecting for a while.

Good Friday: is a religious holiday observed primarily by Christians commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his death at Calvary.

Customary to my church we celebrate the stations of the cross with a re-enactment by the youth of the parish at the bingo hall. As per usual it was a early start, costumes, rushing, makeup and props. I was asked to sing the responses in between which was pretty cool and went down fine except for the last verse as I was unfamiliar with - but not to worry I know now for next year :P


The re-enactment went well and Jesus didn't fall off the cross... later in the afternoon there was mass at the church. My parents and I went to the hospital to visit my Pa and brother that night... all went reasonably well, but my gosh I'm glad my dad was there.


After a crazy day of reverence and hospitals I was invited to a friends place just to chill for a little while. My friends mum tried to set me up with this guy, but he's just really nice for a friend right now.

Holy Saturday: is the day after Good Friday. It the day before Easter and the last day of Holy Week in which Christians prepare for Easter. It commemorates the day that Jesus Christ 's body laid in the tomb. 

Yet another early morning... it began in the church again =P  Cleaning the church... vacuuming floors, washing windows, and wiping down pews. Dad was there too with a pump clearing out the baptismal water from the font. After that I basically wasted the day away on the computer + dA.


This night there was a special mass at a near by church... not only was it the Easter Vigil but also the baptism of my friends baby and her fiance  =D. At the church I also ran into a lot of old school friends so that was really cool.

Easter Sunday: is a central feast in the Christian liturgical year. It Marks the day that Jesus Christ rose from the dead on the third day after his crucifixion. Easter marks the end of lent, a forty-day period of fasting, prayer and penance. 

I can eat lollies again!!!!!!!!!!! That is all... lol just kidding. Today was all about chilling and eating chocolate and lollies. But nah it was a good day spent with family and texting loads of friends xxx <3 you guys. Now I'm off for a lovely bbq dinner, I hope your week was just a busy and crazy as mine...

!!!HAPPY EASTER!!!

p.s. I never finished that assignment

I finally finished my assessments... okay so that's a lie, I still have one more which was due 2day and 5pm I think but at least I got all the others done. ANDDDD I'm on holidays for this week!!!! Totally looking forward to Easter =D

How about you people?? Doing anything exciting for Easter??

This is my little chicken =P he's been traveling with me for some time and I'm just documenting his life while we are together.

What... This Ain't Real??

All the best to you guys... hope you're staying on top of assignments like I'm totally not.

In other news/ random thoughts: I totally made a fool of myself last night and prolly came across as a massive controlling bitch. 

I locked my keys in my car last night - silly me.

I finished all my assignments like 1 or 2 days late.

I can't wait to eat lollies again.

I'm gonna have a sleep over this week =P finally!!!

I've been thinking too much about boys this past week.

Palm Sunday procession walk was heaps of fun.

At Midnight

You know you're getting old when you find yourself in K-mart at midnight on a friday night with friends. Instead of out dancing in a club, drinking till we can't stand or smoking who knows what.

My friends and I are trying on odd pieces of clothing including male work shirts, high heels, mens ties & kids umbrellas... and looking damn fine I might add!!

It's one way to turn heads you might say, also one way to make staff seriously peeved to the point of death stares and being kicked out of a store. But not to worry we were responsible... also we did buy something ------ even if was only $1 bubbles ------

So maybe I lied, we aren't exactly getting old... in fact I think we are moving backwards. At least that's what my mum says every time I ask if I can have a sleep over. But seriously, when you have friends as cool as mine you'd wanna act like you're 5 years old =D

Photos (left to right top to bottom) Amy, Elle, Kit Wing, Rhian

In Other News/ Random Thoughts: I helped out at my old high school when they put on a production last week... it was loads of fun.

I had the craziest dream the other day... it felt so real that I had to reassure myself it wasn't... then ask those involved for clarification and/or is they had the same dream.

Kit Wing's party was the bee's knees.. that's where we took all the photos in Kmart.

Still not eating lollies for lent/ all other previous challenges are continuing.

Don't know if you were referring to me Mr.Mello... but if I was on your brain too much I've stopped txting and calling you, and following you on any social network - hope that helps.

I'm still helping out with loads in the church + bake sales etc. 

WYD is coming up in a few months :/ I'm totally not ready yet! But so excited.

I've got about 4 assignments due in the next 10 days - hello procrastination :P 
My Pa (dad's dad) fell out of bed the other day and hurt himself pretty bad - it looks like he might have to go into age care...

By The Way... it's good to be back, sorry it took so long for a proper post.

Sacrifice

It's only just begun...

And there's still a while to go...

It always seems to stun...

So there's something you should know...

I've done it every year...

since, before I can remember....

some think it's kinda queer...

and it feels like it's forever...

I've given up my love...

as a tiny sacrifice...

For the one who lives above...

but I've been very precise...

No lollies is the goal...

but only for six weeks...

it's all about my soul...

so I'm trying to be meek.

My Lenten promise is to give up lollies. It almost nearly kills me every year because I practically live off them but honestly i should be able to make it... as i've done many times before.

Sorry it's been so long since my last post... I don't however have time to fill you in on things right now =P. I hope you are well...  how are things?? are you well? no sicknesses...?? I hope not. Be safe!!

Proverbs 8:13

The fear of the LORD is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate.

Stalkers

stalker |ˈstôkər|nouna person who stealthily hunts or pursues an animal or another person.• a person who harasses or persecutes someone with unwanted and obsessive attention.

The word "stalker" is one I tend to use a lot always mentioning how I'm a stalker , perhaps most of the time incorrectly but never-the-less with the same sort of intention.

I am yet to understand how, where or why I manage to attract so many weird and/or creepy guys. It seems as though this year take the cake though, because in the last few weeks there has been more than one "stalker" at a time.

I'm trying ever so hard not to mention names here although I so desperately want to for fear that it'll crush and/or break their spirits and hearts all in one post.

Growing up I was always the odd kid out, the one with the weird teeth, the big ears, the hairy legs and the male influenced behaviour I can blame that on growing up in a household with three boys. Anyways this meant that none of the boys found me attractive, they saw me as more of an equal or just plain ugly, so I guess you could say I felt left out.

Nowadays I've got straight teeth thanks to braces, more normal sized ears coz my body finally grew to fit them, no hairy legs - razors and a not so boyish attitude after attending an all girls high school. I never changed on the inside but I guess changing the outside matters a lot to teenage boys. The new found attention makes me feel good about myself but that doesn't mean that I wanna date every/any guy I talk to.

So if any of my "stalkers" are reading... please try to understand it from my point of view... we are friends, that's all... if I suddenly disappear or we are no longer friends on facebook - that's not coz it's playing up - it just means i don't wanna talk to u coz I think your creepy or weird or intrusive. If I don't txt u back - I don't wanna talk. If u ask what I'm doing on the weekend and I say I'm busy... there is a 50% I'm actually working or I really just don't wanna hang with you.

Also keep in mind: I don't drink, smoke, do drugs or gamble - I have my reasons.
I don't like sports.. ever.
I don't like being called babe, being kissed or hugged or being touched in any way- even my hair... if I didn't initiate the contact 1st.
I have a father and brother who are both black belts in Karate and Martial Arts Weaponry.

As I've said many times before I consider myself a stalker so maybe I'm a hypocrite... but at least i keep things to myself.. like i search for answers but then i don't go annoying the person involved talking to them at every waking min.. organising get togethers etc.

I leave you with this: If you love someone you should set them free - if you have to stalk them then they weren't really yours to start with.

Watch out Ash it seems as though Elisa is stalking you

In other news/Random things: I deleted one of my friends off facebook and it took her a while to realise =P apparently we have some issues now 2.

The Production is finished... I miss it already but it was an awesome last 2 shows!!!

I'm crazy but you already knew that.

I started uni again this week =D... I'm starting to remember why I didn't wanna go back. 

I'm still lying to most ppl.. however iI have let some ppl know.
I read Hilary Duff's book Elixer and I thought it was awesome up until the end.
I hung up a heap of frames today and i'm still not even half done.
Your breath does smell... and I'm not attracted to you - it was weird that u kissed me (even if it was only on the cheek).

Acts 5: 4-5

You have not lied to people - you have lied to God! As soon as Ananias heard this, he fell down dead.

God Bless

Turn Around

....::::WARNING::::....

I may be too happy to post this blog with no mistakes

Yesterday I woke up and thought to myself.. it feels like a cooking day, meh we'll see what happens.

I cleaned up the kitchen after eating breakfast whilst watching 'touched by an angel' & '7th heaven'.

Wash my car - which is now sitting clean and unmarked in the driveway =P

Watched a movie and managed to munch down a whole packet of chips in the mean time.

Baked some banana muffins and then after their success baked some scones.

Had a chat to a few friends on facebook then headed off to a meeting.

Today was also awesome!!!

Went to work with one of my church besties.

Had my hair and makeup done,, then traveled into the city.

Got to wear an upcoming designers' garments.

Free food, travel + payment in hair products for helping out.

Awesome compliments from actual pro models.

Called my boss and managed to swing getting the weekend off so that I can actually help out backstage on the final show =D

Drove to Riverside and helped backstage with the show again.

In other news/random thoughts: I had so much fun 2day modeling.. starting to think I should do something serious about it.

It was bloody awesome being backstage again after missing the last 2 shows.

The cat is out of the bag... oh no

Finally other people have noticed that that behavior is leaning towards more than friends... thank goodness people can see it and try and save me - or some can take delight in teasing me.

There was no change made to the room in the last 2 days.

I'm super excited about  saturday now that I don't have to work and there's gonna be an after party =P

 Hebrews 4: 14

Let us, then, hold firmly to the faith we profess

The Boy Who Cried Wolf

....::::WARNING::::.... 

This post is mainly negative SORRY!!!

Kill me now... 

No don't kill me at all...

Elle = super confused chick... WHY THE HECK DID I GO

You know the story of the boy who cried wolf... how he kept crying "WOLF!!" even when there wasn't one around and then by the time there was one... no one believed him coz he'd said it too many times.

I'm the boy right now... I keep saying something... even thought I'd convinced myself of it but then turned around and did the opposite thing proving to myself that I'm a douche. I'M SO OVER IT!!! why on earth do I keep doing this... you'd think I'd learn the first time and see the signs the second, third & forth times right?!?!?! Well turns out I'm so stupid, I don't even realise these things till I'm right in the thick of it again. Grrrrrr

I bet your super confused now... just like how I feel and guess what.. I'm not gonna explain it any better I'm gonna stay ambiguous and let you think what you will. *kicks self in the back*

Also I feel so guilty right now that I wanna blurt it all out and get yelled at or cry or something... anything.

In other news/ random thoughts: My name is in the program - under stage crew =P

This backstage thing is the most fun thing I've done in ages and I'm not even getting paid.

I'm loving reading these days even though I'm crossing between like 4 stories 

Uni starts next week.. I'm there monday, tuesday, wednesday and friday 

I had the worst time at work on saturday night and I'm so ready to quit.

I could have died yesterday... almost got hit by a car.

My stupid deposit isn't paid so my booking will probably be cancelled.

I've been lying to everyone the last two weeks apart from one person.

I've slacked off on fixing up my room and hanging stuff but I do wanna finish it before next week.

I had massive troubles getting my classes organised for this year.

I have been smiling a lot lately =D so what!! =P (besides today ofc)

2 Corinthians 5: 1

For we know that when this tent we live in - our body here on earth - is torn down, God will have a house in heaven for us to live in, a home he himself has made, which will last for ever.

In Threes AND They Were Blue!!

They say that bad things come in threes... who 'they' are is a mystery to me... and why 'they' know this is fascinating... however based on yesterday I'd say 'they' are spot on.

I mentioned in my last post that I've been working backstage as crew on a production of Joseph. Yesterday was no different from the other days HOWEVER... I managed to encounter 3 bad things:

1st - Parking Fine of $201 

2nd: A likely to be speeding fine (82 in an 80 zone) 

3rd: Broken down car before I reached home. 

You could say that yesterday was a complete FAIL!!! However I could argue against this [tell that to the me of yesterday who was balling her eyes out at the petrol station when her car wouldn't start]. How?? you say. Well there were 3 positives too =D

1st: All the balls were blue!!!! 

2nd: A stranger left a note on my car that made me smile 

3rd: The NRMA was able to find the problem with my car that's been keeping it from starting when I want it to the past 3 months

Now your probably thinking - what the heck?? all the balls were blue?? - But I can explain: In one of the scenes all the children on stage pick up these balls that have coloured lights in them - every night before the show I have to set them so that when the children press the button it comes on blue. However somehow every night one or two kids ball comes on the wrong colour - like green or red or something. But last night they were all blue =] it's so amazing- you have no idea honestly.

In other news/ random thoughts: I was right about things being different soon.

I'm gonna be totally broke by the end of this production especially if I keep getting fines.

I've made quite a few new friends on set =P and hope to stay in touch hehehe.

I can officially give out communion to parishioners and the sick as of today.

I love my mummy and my daddy =d hehehe they are so awesome and no sleeping dream will tear them apart- gosh dreams are annoying sometimes.

I placed miraculous medals in all the dressing rooms... I wonder if anyone has noticed yet...

Going bowling & Laser tag 2nyt!!! Awesomenessss
Seriously how many times did I say however in this post??? =P

Matthew 3: 11

I baptise you with water to show that you have repented, but the one who will come after me will baptise you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

Livin' In The Hallway

I know it's been ages since I've blogged... but honestly no one really reads it and this is basically an outlet for me anyhow. So since I last blogged.. I'd like to fudge it and say that not much has happened but that'd be a lie coz in fact quite a bit has happened - maybe that's why I haven't blogged: being busy.

I visited one of my friends that I haven't seen in just over a year- so that was exciting and we had loads to catch up on naturally. 

My friends and I won a debate in our youth group - even though we didn't agree with the view point we had to debate. 

Brendan and I along with the social committee @ church hosted a WYD fundraiser "cake stall" in which we raised almost $500- which I might add is totally awesome!!! 

Once again I caught up with Kara and that was simply awesome... also we talked about the band and what might become of this year in general. 

I attended a leadership enrichment day on the sunday just gone - it was highly enlightening and got me super pumped for this years Antioch youth. 

Finally, for the past week I've been working backstage on a production of 'Joseph and his Amazing Technicolor Dream-coat'.. having been in a production before, this has been so much fun - also it helps that I already know all the songs and stuff =P.

Aside from all that stuff... I've finally gotten around to painting my room and it's taken longer than expected. So in the mean time I've been sleeping at the front door in the lounge room, while the contents of my room has been living in the hallway and bathroom. I've honestly got that much stuff and so it's become super crowded in my house. I've been slightly grumpy and sleepy all of last week and this.. due to lack of sleep and the load of work I've been undertaking but I can finally sleep in my own room again tonight, YAYY!!!!!! It's been fun spending time with my mum painting and organising but not that fun coming home at 1 am and being woken up at 6 am or earlier when people get ready for work.

In other news/ Random thoughts: I've finally gotten some shifts again at work =D

I received my passport in the mail =P so cool.. this means I can travel out of the country now

I've just about finished the box of lollies - it was so awesome hehehe

One of my best friends is looking into becoming a nun - imagine that!!

I printed off a huge number of photos at the shops... ready to add them to the walls of my room.

I've registered for WYD and have begun fundraising

There has been some insanely crazy weather in Oz lately... it's just indescribable 

There is a possibility things will change again in the weeks to come.

Started reading 'The Time -Travelers Wife' and I'm absolutely loving it. 

Catpoo is back at school & Nathaniel finally has a job =P

'Touched by an Angel' and 'Seventh Heaven' have become part of my daily routine. Addict I know

My room looks so different without stuff on the walls and also no it's purple.

Mark 5: 29

She touched his cloak, and her bleeding stopped at once; and she had the feeling inside herself that she was healed of her trouble.
