hello!

How are you?

I haven't blogged in a while, and that's probably coz I've been lurking. But now I've got a reason to blog. Two in fact... So keep reading!

I got my results back for my first semester. I passed! Woohoo!! I even managed to get an average of 81%. Not bad, huh? *does the happy dance*

Now on to the two reasons why I'm blogging... If you're reading this on the 10th of July, two of my tvDOTcom buddies are having a birthday! Shazz and Kathy. Now, if you don't know either one of them, go and check out their blogs! They're both amazing woman! Be sure to wish them for their birthdays.

Shazz - yes, I took the chance of getting your wrath, AND that vicious finger waggle - but I think it'll be worth it. Happy Birthday Shazzy! Now I know how you feel about birthdays, so I thought instead of celebrating your birthday, I'll just celebrate YOU! I don't know you that well Shazz, but what I know so far is that you are an amazing woman! I admire you for many reasons. You're so caring and have a big heart! You're one of a kind.

Kathy, my friend with the (mutual) SW obsession! Happy birthday! I hope your boys are spoiling you today! You deserve it! You're an amazing mom, and you're such a special friend! I'm so glad we're friends! You're AWESOME!!

I found this, and thought it was somewhat appropriate. And, worth a read.

A strong woman

is one who feels deeply
and loves fiercely.
Her tears flow just
as abundantly as her laughter.
She is not afraid to be afraid.

A strong woman
is both soft and powerful.
She takes compliments to heart
and treats herself
like the queen that she is.

A strong woman
is equally visionary and decisive.
She is able to hope
when things look hopeless.
She is both practical and spiritual.

A strong woman
in her essence
is a gift to all the world.

How are you?

So incase you've been wondering where I've been, I've been busy with TAFE (college). Now I've finished my first semester. But I only get my results on the 25th. Waiting sucks! I had four subjects, and had to do essays and presentations for each one of them. And if that wasn't enough, I had exams too! Lucky me. But now I'm on HOLIDAY!! Woohoo!! *does the happy dance*

Sorry for not visiting your blogs lately. (See above) But I'm trying to catch up, and visit as many blogs as I can. Hope you understand. So, how's everything with you been? And what have you been doing?

How are you?

As some of you know, today (the 13th of May) is Suze's birthday. What most of you don't know, is it's also La's birthday. I dedicate this blog to the two VERY wonderful, Aussie ladies!! I would've done this blog sooner in the day, but I was having problems with tvDOTcom. Anyone else having problems as well?

La!!
I hope you've had an awesome day! You rock! And thanks for being such a cool friend. Oh, and letting me chat to you about Sociology! No1 in my cla$$ understands, so it's good to have SOMEONE that I can talk to about. So thanks for that! You're awesome! Don't forget it.

Suze!!
Hope you too have had an awesome birthday dolly!! I'm sitting here at TAFE, and I wonder what would tvDOTcom be like without you. And truth be told, I don't think it would be as awesome!! You Suzify my blogs, and you add Jensen (and JM) to your blogs! What more could a girl want? Ok, and yes, you're AWESOME!!
So, does everyone know how old our Suze is? Highlight the text bellow to find out:
Mwhaha! Did ya really think I was going to give away that sort of information? Keep on dreaming! hehe

I thought I'd add something about being an Australian. (seeing as how the two birthday gals are both Australian.) So I hope all you Aussies will appreciate this. And if you have NO idea what's going on, just think how I feel.

You know you're Australian when...

1. You're familiar with Neighbours, Home and Away, Playschool, A Country Practice, Norman Gunston, Barry Humphries, Blue Heelers, Ray Martin, Bert Newton, Lisa McCune, Jon Burgess, Number 96, Molly Meldrum, Kerry O'Brien, and of course, Kerry Packer and Rupert Murdoch.

2. You know that Burger King doesn't exist. It's Hungry Jacks.

3. You know that snow is a memorable and freakish occurrence. Sometimes it's even fake.

4. You know the difference between thongs and a G-banger

5. You know that "stubbies" are either short shorts or small beer bottles, a "gimp", "bogan" or "geezer" is a random idiot, someone in trouble is in "strife" and you're liable to burst out laughing whenever you hear of Americans "rooting" for something.

4. You know how to abbreviate every word, all of which usually end in -o: arvo, combo, garbo, kero, lezzo, metho, milko, muso, rego, servo, smoko, speedo, righto etc.

5. You know that some ppl pronounce "Australia" like "Strayla" and that's ok.

6. You know that there is a universal place called "woop woop" located in the middle of nowhere... no matter where you actually are.

7. You know that while we call our friends 'mates', we don't use terms like 'shiela' and 'shrimp on the barbie', contrary to popular belief.

8. You know that none of us actually drink Fosters beer because it tastes like sh!t. But we let the world think we do. Because we can.

9. You know that if a man has sex with another man, he's a homosexual, and (until recently), a criminal in Tasmania

10. You resent people who succeed over others- everyone should do the same thing, so we all get a "fair go"; a kind of 'American-dream' in reverse. This is why we actively like not liking Americans.

11. You've seen Gallipoli, Crocodile Dundee, Young Einstein, Muriel's Wedding, The Castle, Beneath Clouds, Strictly Ballroom, 40,000 Horsemen, and maybe even Wolf Creek.

12. It makes you happy when someone in Hollywood is actually Australian... Mel Gibson, Nicole Kidman, Russle Crowe, Cate Blanchett, Baz Luhrman, Elle MacPherson, Olivia Newton-John, Midnight Oil, ACDC, INXS, Greg Norman, Cathy Freeman, Dawn Fraser, Pat Rafter, Ian Thorpe...

13. One word: Skippy.

14. You know that Sydney 2000 was one of our proudest moments in history. We just rock.

15. You know that you are not going to die of cholera or other Third World diseases (remote Aboriginal communities are a different matter)

16. You know our country has never been conquered by a foreign nation (you don't count 1788 ).

17. We know that the Metric system will always be better than anything inches, feet, pounds and farenheit will ever offer

18. You drive on the left-hand side of the road.

19. If you're a pedestrian and cars are stopped at a red light, you will fearlessly cross the street in front of them. 'Hit and runs' just aren't cricket. Because aussies stick together.

20. You think of Australia as being somewhat out of place within the Asia-Pacific region; surrounded by unstable ex-colonial nations who regard you as racist, imperialist, and unfairly wealthy.

21. You know that New Zealanders are basically our naive country cousins, who have a weird fush-and-chups accent, and for some bizzare reason, think that they invented pavlova. Bastards. They are to be pitied and laughed at. They have no hope of gaining the upper hand in the endless sporting rivalry between our two nations.

22. You know that you can't eat Fantales alone... Otherwise who will you play the 'Who am I...' game with when you're reading the wrapper?

23. You know that Sydney should be the capital because Canberra is a hole.

24. You know that Americans think we're all Steve Irwin clones. And crickey, they couldn't be more wrong.

25. You know that Lawyers wear wigs and gowns. And we make it look good.

26. You have some time in your life slept with Aeroguard on in the summer. Maybe even as perfume.

27. You feel obliged to spread salty black stuff that looks like congealed motor oil on bread... and actually grow to like it. You've also squeeze Vegemite through Vita Wheats to make little Vegemite worms.

28. You believe that democracy means the freedom to draw caricatures of good ol' Johnny Howard

29. You think footballers dressing up in drag on TV is funny (but your son being gay isn't).

30. You have the ability to compress several words into one - ie 'g'day' and 'd'reckn?'. This allows more space for profanities.

31. You've ever used the words - tops, ripper, sick, mad, rad, sweet - to mean good. And then you place 'bloody' in front of it when you REALLY mean it.

32. You know that the barbeque is a political arena; the person holding the tongs is always the boss and usually a man. And the women make the salad.

33. The private lives of footy and cricket players become more important than local and national news stories.

34. You say 'no worries' quite often, whether you realise it or not.

35. You know what fairy bread tastes like, and you can't imagine your childhood without it.

36. You know the first verse to the national anthem, but still don't know what "girt" means. And you're ok with that.

37. You've drank your tea/coffee/milo through a tim tam.

38. You know that backyard cricket is a nice way to bond with family and the rubbish bin. And the 'one bounce, one hand' rule always applies.

39. You know that we are home to the just about all of the world's deadliest of animals. That's why if anybody messes with us we'll get some funnel webs on their asses.

40. You see people walking bare-foot on the sidewalk and don't scorn.... because you're doing it too.

41. You know what trop-fest is and it makes you happy.

42. Sausage rolls and meat pies. End of story.

43. You firmly believe that in the end, everything will be ok and have offered advice that included the words, "she'll be right, mate".

44. You have a story that somehow involves an excessive consumption of goon... but you can't remember.

45. You own a Bond's chesty. In several different colours.

46. You've ordered a steak the size as your head and only paid $5 at your local RSL

47. You know that Italy should never have been granted that fateful kick in the 2006 Soccer World Cup.

48. You know how to slip, slop, slap like it's nobody's business.

49. You've heard the Prime Minister dismiss anyone who disagrees with him simply as 'un-Australian', and that's enough to make us sit down and shut up.

50. You know that the value of a public holiday is measured in terms of alchohol. God bless the queen and her 4-day birthday.

**hugs**

How are you?

So a couple of people pointed out that my last blog was done over a month ago - guess that means it was time for a new one! And here it is. (Like my blog title says )

Where have I been for a month - want to know? Doing homework of all things! And doing research for my homework. Who would've thought that TAFE could be such hard work? The only time I've have to come onto tvDOTcom, is before cla$$, so yeah, you guessed it, I've been lurking! Sorry about that people. How's everything with YOU been?

Can you tell the difference between a horse and a frog?
Watch closely...

Worth a read:

There have been times in my life when all seemed lost. Life just wasn't worth living through another day. Then you need to remember things that are important to you.

For as low as we fall there is always something or someone, somewhere to help pull you back from the deep pits of darkness. Once you feel yourself slipping grab onto that something or someone.

We wonder why life has given us such a bad deal. That is not the question. Love, Hope, and Faith will guide us.
Look around and find the things you need to live for.
If we look hard enough, we will find the place we need to be.

Hold on for your loved ones, hold on for yourself. Make the most of what you have. Give the most that you can, Love the best that you can, and never lose hope.

Each morning that you wake up, Thank God you are still alive, to live another day to find your way. Life is truly worth living for, if you look. Find that place you need to be and just hold on.

If anyone knows where I can buy this program from, please let me know. I think it might come in handy for my homework.

Woohoo! There are new episodes of SUPERNATURAL and ONE TREE HILL again! Ok ok, and some other funky shows. So, anyone else wanna do the happy dance?

And now in the Sass corner, there's

*extra hugs* to Shazz - you know why
Suze - hope you feel better soon *hugs*
Sal and Tam - hope you two come BACK soon
