An Unlikely Match

Meet Ulrock the Rottweiler and Belderan the wolf cub:



18 month old Ulrock adopted the 8 week old cub after she was abandoned by her parents at only 4 days of age. The pair sleep, play and eat together. They even howl in unison at the moon.




Ulrock is now Belderan's surrogate father and the pair are inseparable.

Feeling Lazy

Listening to: Fall Out Boy - Get Busy Living or Get Busy Dying


I've been feeling lazy. I haven't been updating my blog, between work, homework (even though it's holidays) and babysitting I don't have much time. Today was the first day I’ve had off since the holidays started in Saturday. It's been nuts at work but also fun because I've met a whole heap of new people. At least now I've managed to.

Had a funny conversation with my family today, about the toilet. Yes, the toilet. We were arguing about whether the toilet seat should be left up or down. What started out as a simple conversation ended up turning into a full on debate. We (as in all the girls in the house) were making comments about the fact that all the boys in the house kept leaving the toilet seat up. As a girl I believe that if the man puts the toilet seat up he should always put it back down. I'm no clean freak but most girls agree that if you don't to put it up then why should you have to touch it to put it down.
Listening To: Fall Out Boy - XO

My dad used to ask why does it have to be left down? Why can't we leave it up for him? Then the whole argument started about how you should leave it how you found it and then all the guys in the house were saying that when you go to a public toilet just after it has been cleaned the toilet seat is up. The girls retorted saying that when you first go to a hotel toilet the seat is down. This argument when on for ages till we all agreed (well sort of) that the toilet seat goes down, not up! I think that was because there were more girls than boys in the room. :)

I love my guitar but I need another one. I only have an acoustic and I don't get many chances to play an electric. I'm praying that mum will get me one for Christmas so I don't have to buy one myself but I definitely will, if I have to, because I'd love to play my own electric. No one really gets how interested I am in music my family and friends just think it’s a hobby. I kind tried to explain it to mum the other day but she didn't get it.

Listening to: Kelly Clarkson - Haunted

I've noticed that my family really encourages me to sing. I will play guitar for them but they are desperate for me to sing for them. I don't think you need a good singing voice to be a good musician. I stopped singing years ago and will probably never go back. I think I'm going to stick to the instruments. Most people that can't sing whish they could but I don't care, it’s just something that I can do. I bet that most people would think I'm crazy not singing when I want to be a musician but it makes me self-conscious. I have a friend to do the singing for me. :)

I'm Back.....

Listening To: Blink 182 - Stay together for the kids


Man I’ve been sick. I think I’ve had some kind of flu and all I have been doing is lying in bed. When I finally managed to get out of be and update my blog I found that the internet had been disconnected cause mums renovating the house. So here I am finally updating it.

The holidays are here just two whole weeks of work, babysitting my cousin and assignments. Mmmmm... Doesn’t sound all that good actually. I've got a massive party to look forward too though. It's going to be the biggest of the year. Hell yeah! So Excited!

Listening To: Sick Puppies - You're Going Down

Only 6 and half weeks of school left. Yhay! I'm really looking forward to it. I’ll be able to hang out and play guitar nonstop. Mum is actually starting to like the fact that I play guitar and will even listen to me play. She seems a lot more supportive now. Hahaha guess what? My friend brought tickets to Britney Spears and she is making me come with her at the end of the year. It's going to be a very long night.

Listening To: Escape the Fate - 10 Miles Wide

I'm also being dragged to short stack. Ewwwww I don't know if I want to go and see a bunch of fags that can't sing and write shit music!! Oh well at least next year I get to go see ACDC and I'm thing about going to soundwave, which would be awesome to go to.

Year 12 Prank

Listening To: Tatu - All The Things She Said

One of my friends in class today mentioned something that they used to do at her old school. She called it the year 12 prank. On the night before the last day of school all the yr 12's would set up pranks all over the school so when everyone arrived the next day they would be in for a bit of a shock. On year they even managed to get a car on top of one of the buildings. We all thought it was cool idea and decided we should do something like it. Someone wanted to do the car thing but we don't know how we would get a car on top of a building! My maths teacher liked the idea of the prank and said he would help. He said he would help us get into the staff room so would could set up pranks in the staff room. Hahaha I'd love to see that!
Wanna see something funny? This is a picture of a teacher at a school someone found in Google images at school today:


Surprisingly this isn't the worst thing I've ever seen her wear!

Listening To: Tatu - Not Gonna Get Us
Yhay no more homework for three weeks!! Next week is the last week of term three and then its holidays! Next term I only have like 7 weeks of school left. Today I felt kind of nervous and excited. I was nervous about the thought of having to do a lot of maturing of the next 2 months and I was excited about the prospect of parties!! F**K Yeah!!!

:)

I'm gonna go CRAZY!!!

I was talking to a friend earlier when she mentioned schoolies. Schoolies is a week that starts the day after all yr 12's graduate. It's kind of just one big party for all them. Since I’m graduating this year I will be celebrating schoolies and I thought about what I might do. My friends and I came up with some ideas. I’ve found some pictures to help demonstrate this:

I think you get the idea!

My Funny Uncle

Listening To: System Of A Down - Chop Suey! (Suicide)


Hahaha The funniest thing happened today. I noticed my uncle was in the bathroom shaving and I wandered in and started asking him questions. Here’s how it went:
Me: Just out of curiosity, do you ever cut yourself shaving?

Uncle: Nah bub, razors today are pretty advanced so I almost never do and I haven't in a long time.

Me: Really? I cut myself all the time. I guess scientists must put all their energy in to improving men’s razors and not women’s.

Uncle: *Chuckle* maybe you should actually concentrate on what your doing and you won’t!

Me: Ha ha ha. Very funny. You will cut yourself one day.

Uncle: No I won't

After this I went and sat down in my bedroom when only 2 minutes later a very angry uncle burst into my room

Uncle: *pointing at lip* Look what you did!

I noticed a small cut on his lip

Me: Ahhhhh I didn't do that.

Uncle: Yes you did!

Suddenly I realised what he was saying

Me: Did not. Last time I checked you were the one holding the razor!

Uncle: You jinxed me!

Me: Nope I was warning you and you didn't listen. *sarcastic smile*

He stormed out of the room leaving me there laughing my head off!

71 days and counting!

Listening To: Kelly Clarkson - Never Again

Only 71 days and I'm free! Only 71 days till the last day of school then I never have to go back. Hell Yeah!! I'm going to miss hanging out with some people but I really can't wait till it's over. In 71 days I go to my formal and then I never see most of those people ever again. It will suck hardcore but I'm going to try hard to keep in touch with them.

Listening to: Kings of Leon - Sex on Fire


On Sunday I had to work and I got in a lot of trouble from my supervisor. I work in a theme park on the gold coast and I usually work in a bakery, ice cream parlour or retail store. On Sunday I was in the ice-cream parlour and I got in trouble cause I was caught giving out free food, talking when I'm supposed to be working, ripping of customers (accidentally) and messing around with the tills (your only supposed to be on one but mine is stupid so I kept swapping). My supervisor got so sick of it she had a good go at me and then sent me over to the bar to wipe and clear tables. That’s one of the worst jobs because even though you’re in a theme park people still like to get drunk at have a go at you. One group was so bad I almost lost it and I don't have a temper. I am now working every Friday and Saturday in October, at least the money will be good.

Listening to: Nickelback - Animals

Today was a long day, and I mean a long day. I lost my voice. Everyone thought it was the funniest thing ever. I couldn't talk above a whisper and that hurt so much I stop talking altogether. I realised today that the only sign language I know is how to flip people off, did that a lot today. My ancient history teacher thought it was convenient that I lost my voice the same day I had to present my ancient history. Mum reckons its cause I talk too much. She had a good laugh.

Listening to: Sick Puppies - All the same (free hugs)

I've got to go, I have this stupid art assignment to finish. Man I hate art now. The assignments we get a so shit. This whole year is filled with written assignments! What happened to actual art? I don't really care anymore any way cause I only have like 7 weeks left of actual school than It's over and I can move on to more important things.

:)

PS Mr Shinoda I used to go to a religious school too I wasn't really a believer but at least religion assignments are easy to pass. (Well they were in year 9 anyway).

Listening To: The Storm Outside

Man I'm tired. It's only 9:30 and I already need to go to bed. Usually I can stay up till midnight easily but tonight I’m really tired for some reason. I had a crappy day. It was just filled with a whole heap of tests. I've only got 4 left and an oral assignment due tomorrow. At least that is done now all I have to do is present it.

Tonight we are having the first storm in ages. It seems like forever since we had a decent one. My dog is terrified of storms so he will probably be hiding in a cupboard somewhere. The funny thing is he always acts real tough when really he is just a wimp. I love storms. When I was little it was the most exciting thing in the world when we had a storm. I think I sleep better in thunder storms than I would with clear skies. Maybe that’s why I’m so tired.

Anyway it’s been a long and boring day and i really need sleep. I hope for better tomorrow :)

Homer Did What!?!

Listening To: Mum Vacuume The Floors

I just finished reading the newspaper and I noticed an unusual article titled 'Homer Hires Coldplay'. According to the story, in an upcoming Simpson’s episode Homer wins the lottery, so what’s the first thing he does, he hires Coldplay. They will appear in the annual tree house of horror show along side other celebrities like Anne Hathaway and Jonah Hill. I suppose since it is the 20th anniversary of the show they would have to do something big! I've really got to go or I'm going to be late for work.

Music and Me

Listening To (or rather watching): The Final Riot DVD - Paramore

Thanks for the comments guys. They really mean a lot to me and I’m glad to hear that I’m not the only one that sleeps in. My bed time is usually about one in the morning so I tend to sleep in, quite a lot. I think its cool u guys are in a band. You only need a bass (unless one of your guitars happens to be a bass) and a lead singer now! I don't really hang out with the musos at school because most of them are dickheads and other than that I don't know anyone else that would want to be in a band. Everyone around here is obsessed with how they look and being famous. Girls usually want to be pop solo artists (like we need anymore) and the guys don't want girls in their bands. So I don't have a chance.

If you've read my earlier posts though you might have heard me mention that I have a friend that might be interested in starting a band and it turns out she wants to. We used to go to school together (until I was forced to move to the other side of the state) and we were both in the choir, although she kept singing and I moved on to instruments. The only time I'd listen in music class was when our teacher would bring out the keyboards because I was over singing the same song a million times. She didn't get sick of it though. So now we have a lead singer and guitarist. One of the good things about her is she has her head on straight and is really keen on the music thing.

It's funny because my mum brought me a guitar and supports my music but only as hobby, I don't think she sees it as a real career. My uncle loves it though. He reckons he's going to be my groupie. My dad loved music. He had this awesome music collection and I loved it when he would play ACDC real loud. I know he would love the fact that I play the guitar. Anyway I've go to go, I can hear my ancient history calling.....

Oops

Listening to: Michael Jackson - Beat It

I'm in a little bit of trouble.....

This morning mum came in at 6 to wake me up so I could catch the bus to school, and I accidentally fell back asleep. I woke up up again at 7:15 but by then the bus had already left and once again I rolled over and fell back asleep. Next thing I know mums thrown open the door demanding why I’m still in bed and not and not at school.

While she was ripping my head off I suddenly remembered it was the last day to hand in drafts for my ancient history assignment. So now I'm trashing my teacher’s inbox with apology notes and creative reasons for why I didn't come to school today. Oops. I really need to pass this class to keep mum off my back. Dammit! Shouldn't have stayed up so late last night.

Listening To: Michael Jackson - Billie Jean

My sister works at maccas and when mum dropped her off I went with them so I could get something to eat (I ended coming out with a whole meal) and when I got back to the car she started going on about my unhealthy eating habits and how even though Im very active I will get fat and have a heart attack. Thanks for making me feel better mum.

Listening To: Michael Jackson - Thriller (Love this one)

She has always got something to say and I know she is my mum and it’s kind of her job but sometimes she just doesn't know when to stop. All I hear about is how I need to get my license, save money, decide what I’m doing when I finish school, focus on finishing school, fix my eating habits and more. Oh man I have so much to think about. You know what one day I may get myself in order but till then..... mmmmm I don't know what actually. Hahaha.

A Complete 360

Listening To: Breaking Benjamin - Dance With The Devil

How did it happen? How did I go from being on such a high to such a low? Yesterday way good, I was enjoying myself; but something big just landed in my lap. A secret I have been made promised to keep. A promise that I’m not sure I can contain. It's only been an hour and already I feel I'm falling apart. I had a crap day at school and now this. You may ask whether it really is that bad and sadly it is.

I'm not the dramatic type. I hate that shit. I want to tell someone but for fear of being tortured and killed I'm not gonna. This sucks. You know what. People suck. I'm usually the kind of person that gets along with everyone but right now I've decided everyone sucks. People tend to come to me with problems and open up to me about their feelings and I guess that is okay, but when someone tells you something like what I was told today, it's hard.

Listening To: Avril Lavigne - So Much For My Happy Ending

F**K!!!! This shit is so gay!!! (Sorry to anyone that maybe offensive to). I just want to lock myself in my room with my music and guitar and never come out! No I can be strong. I made a promise and I will keep it. Just like I always do. I can put my feelings aside and move on with it deep in my pocket. It won’t matter one day anyway.

Hope something good will follow this. I need it.

Seeing the light

Listening to: Pink - Don't Let Me Get Me

Yhay!!! I am feeling good tonight!! Today I finished my exams!! They weren’t as hard today as they were yesterday. It's funny how Short Response and Written turned out to be a whole lot easier than Multiple Choice. I only have like one assignment left and a couple of small exams left than holidays!!! I will be working all holidays but at least I don't have school to worry about. I am going to save all holidays, finish my last term of school and than PARTYYYY!!!!
I have this metal money box and the only way you can open it is with a can opener. I couldn't control myself and decided to open it. In only 2 months I have saved $64 (AUS) of small change. Now I will have to buy a new one and continue saving.
Listening to: Pink - It's All Your Fault

I really need money for the end of the year so I can go out with my friends hen school finishes so I'm gonna try and only spend money on necessities. I have lots of clothes and stuff so I don't know where it keeps going!!! Food probably.

This is my third post and I've notice that I'm kind of using this blog as a diary. I suppose that’s good in a way. Mum always said I should keep one but I never got around to it. I have an assignment to do and I should probably be doing that but I’m lazy, a little too lazy maybe. Oh well.

Listening to: Pink - Long way to happy

OMG!! Mum just burst into my room telling me I have to repeat yr 12. Like Hell!!! I'd considered it for like 2 seconds then I realised it wouldn't work. It turned out she was only joking. I thing my heart literally skipped a beat!!! I might have got shit marks in school but there is no way I’m repeating. I'm just going to go to uni and do my deadshit, part time course.

Bye :)

A Hard Life?

Listening To: Breaking Benjamin - Diary of Jane


Sometimes life is hard. Today was the first day of year 12 testing. You know the kind you do right before you finish school. F**k it was hard. I have a full day of testing tomorrow as well. Joy. At least most of my assignments are done and I only have testing for my subjects left, after tomorrow.

I have been playing my guitar and it’s frustrating. I’m trying to get more advanced and I’m struggling and don't even mention singing along with it, way too hard. I have never really sung in front of anyone before but hopefully I will one day. I know I can sing because sometimes I get carried away in front of people and they say I can, also, one of my sisters can so it obviously runs in the family. I have four sisters (no brothers and yes it can be hectic!!) and only me and one other can sing, weird right? Mmmm, not really.

Life seems to be getting hard. I want a lot of things and they seem so far away. I have to save to get a car and get my license, get a better job, apply for uni and lots of other things. The thing I want the most seems furthest away. A career in music. I don't know where to start. Do I join a band; I mean I don't think I could ever go solo. Do they advertise positions in the classifieds? Ha ha ha, maybe. Who do I know wants to be in a band? Actually I have a friend (who lives 16 hours away) who wants to sing. Maybe I could start a band with her. She doesn't know how to play any instruments though. She is moving down next year, It could be a start.  

So much to do. So much to think about. I'm so overwhelmed. Anyway, got to go and live my life and hopefully make something of it!!! :)
