Hmm. I wanted to blog... but I forgot what about.
Oh. Right. I want to share with you (whoever you are) my list of things I want to do before I die. Exciting, no?
Okay, so... here goes.

• MOST IMPORTANT - I want to be in love with someone who's in love with me. Uh, yeah. Can't half tell I'm a hopeless hopeful romantic, can you? :P

And then we've got the less important (but still important) ones:

• Write (and have published) at least one novel.
• On that same train of thought, win at least one NaNoWriMo.(EDIT: COMPLETED!! November 30, 2008!!)
• Travel to: 

• Learn all the words to "Word Disassociation" by Lemon Demon :D - because, come on, it'd be totally awesome!
• Learn all the words to "Come On Eileen" by Dexy's Midnight Runners - because whenever I hear it, I want to sing along, but can only go kind of like, "Neh neh neh... neh neh neh-neh-neh..." haha
• Have a song written about me, for me, or inspired by me - because you could probably win my heart like that. EDIT: Chris wrote me a song, November 12th, 2008, because he's adorable like that :D Yet to hear it performed :P
• Be depicted as art; painted, drawn, photographed... anything artistic and awesome that you can hand to me and I can hang on my wall - you could probably win me over like this, too.
• Meet JKRowling - have you read Harry Potter?
• Meet Matt Lewis - because I'm a fangirl, pretty much. And he seems like a nice guy :)
• Have someone make me a mixtape - because I think that is one of the most romantic gifts ever.
• Have people know my name.
• Read a hell of a lot of books.
• Win a game of solitaire in 45 seconds or less. EDIT: Completed, Sunday, 19th October, 2008, 10:40 AM AEDST

So. Yeah. That's my list. Please don't laugh :D

ADDITIONS:

• Have at least one white Christmas
• Go to Platform 9 3/4 at Kings Cross in London
• Buy a bunch of flowers and give single flowers out to strangers
• Get my goodnight spiel as popular as possible - "Goodnight. Sleep tight. Don't let the bed bugs bite. If they do... bite them back! They taste like gummy worms" :)
• Go to a masquerade ball XD
• Go out on the Sky Deck at Eureka Tower
• Go to a Melbourne Cup
• Go in a hot air balloon
• Read every single novel / play in the house, as well as some of the poetry and non-fiction. (This could take a while.)
• Make porno music / comment time on www.youtube.com/communitychannel
• Go everywhere mentioned on a British Monopoly board
• Go on an epic near-spontaneous roadtrip with a friend

ADDED BY ALANA:

• Learn to ride a bike properly and go for a ride with Alana
• Go to the Geelong Smorgies' and pig out!
• Catch public transport to the last stop
  • Go to as many Tree Hills as possible
  • Go to the school where One Tree Hill is filmed 
   

 

ORIGINALLY POSTED 01/10/08

BRB, Queensland.
I will still write my haikus,
But update when back.

R.I.P., M.J.
Farrah, too. And the baby
Mice of India's.

Happy birthday, Dad.
Full of curry, pavlova.
Not curried pav, though :S

TWENTY-THIRD

Not as awesome as
Wrock, but ChamCircuit is my
Favourite Trock band.

This was written yesterday, but on Twitter. And I forgot to post it here. I was (half-heartedly) trying to win a Chameleon Circuit CD. Being Timelord-Rock. Yes.

TWENTY-FOURTH

Did anyone else
Think the Brit on the Chaser
Was a bit alright?

My dress is finished!
Yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay!
No, that's not cheating.

HP nostal-jah;
It has been six years today
Since book five release!!

Feel like blerghy-crap.
Why do I always feel sick
These days? It's not fun.

Went, saw "My Fair Lady"
With Sam. It was love-er-ly.
Time for sleep now, yes.

Not sure if I can
Be bothered to write today.
... It happened again.

Waiting for "...Not Tom".
Oh-em-gee, what's with new Skype?
Scary and not cool.

Cannot be bothered
To write a haiku today.
Oh wait... never mind.

Back at school today.
Only Maths and then French, though.
Sewing after school.

Am insanely bored.
Realised haiku must be wrote.
Now what can I do?

Could have danced all night.
Um, but not really, because
Blisters are not cool.

Cleaning. Deb tonight.
My bathroom smells like Tic-Tacs.
Orange Tic-Tacs, yes.

Writing about bees
is not fun. Cold is icky.
Silly, silly GAT.

I love petticoats.
Swishy, swishy, lots of fun.
Sore, boot feet: not fun.

Watching One Tree Hill ,
Will Peyton and Lucas please
Just get together???

Stolen from Jade (JUST REALISED THAT ALL THE BUTTONS THAT ARE USUALLY UP THE TOP HERE - including the one that would link you to Jade's blog - HAVE BEEN MISSING FOR A WHILE. WHY???)

Put your MP3 player on shuffle, and write down the first line of the first twenty songs. Post the poem that results. The first line of the twenty-first is the title.

"IF YOU WERE"

Take me out, take me home,
You've got this new head filled up with smoke.
Love, love me do,
Two weeks away from reality.

I'm not too good with English,
Here's a tale 'bout a boy who lived.
Nothing's going on but I don't care,
Oh, Cedric, why'd you go into that maze?

Between us I feel,
Don't be so scared,
It's getting late,
Can't believe the feeling that I felt when I saw you.

I smile,
I'm through with wasting my life on this community thing,
Hit the road, Jack.
I just got off the phone with you.

A long, long, time ago,
Well, the students at Hogwarts are sorted into Houses according to
Poor old Johnny-Ray.
Oh, for the first time in your life.
