While I've got time on my hands I thought I'd update my LiveJournal. I did the same to my MySpace account as I was close to getting it booted off for not using it, eeps! Looks cool now though so I'm happy with it :)
This is only a quick update tho, thanks to SamSpade for the background on my LJ and her help with it (you did in the past honi, trust me :P) and all icons but one that I use are not mine, so if you see one and it's yours, let me know and I'll credit you :) Don't want to ruffle anyone's feathers!
Just to sum up, holiday's were tiring and stressful getting work done but it's almost all complete. I caught up with friends on numerous occasions, even bumping into a few old high school friends in Melbourne (yes I actually visited the city I love! I miss it already too, having withdrawals!). Aside from homework also caught up on a 'Frasier' marathon over Easter which ROCKED, miss that show to death! And didn't do much else.
Hope everyone else had a good Easter!

Hey everybody!
Thought while I've got some time I'd update this thing, it's been a loooooooong time I know but oh well, you know the saying... I don't remember it right now :S
Anyway the happenings in my life... well there aren't too many I suppose. Family is still the same, my sister is in year twelve this year, it's so weird that she is. She's always been my baby sister and next year she'll be in university. But she's happy and doing well so that's all that matters. My mum is working as Bursor at a Lutheran primary school and happy, though the secretary tore her hamstring in two places in January so that doubled my mum's workload. She was working almost seven days a week trying to keep everything in order, but being the bursor she ensured she paid herself well for it :) And her good friend is the principal of the school so it's all going her way :D Dad's the same, golfing on Sunday's and working as usual. He's crazy, I spoke to him on the phone Wednesday night and he said, "I'm cooking dinner and the dog is sitting on the floor staring at me... and he's snoring! But he's awake!" I casually replied (as I do :P) "You're the only influence for him dad so he's following your lead". I think I'll get grounded when I go back home in a week for holidays :S
The Commonwealth Games were on in Melbourne the past two weeks and I'm SO UPSET I didn't get to see any of it live! And all of the fish floats in the Yarra River have been taken down so I can't even see them when I got home. But I miss Melbourne so I just want to go there a lot during the holidays and catch up with friends... when I don't have study. How crap is that? I have two weeks off but in my first week back I have one assignment due in on Monday and another on Friday, and then the next Wednesday I have a 15 minute presentation to do in USA history and a 1500 word paper due in. That is crap isn't it? Why do they even bother giving us holidays in the first place? It's a conspiracy I'm sure of it. I'm going to investigate and see just why they're doing this to us!
Okay so on the home front (uni home front) as usual there has been a lot of goings on. I'm living in a house with soon to be three 18 year old girls. They're all noisy because in the three houses surrounding us, there are more 18 year olds, all first year students, and most of them doing nursing. So they all go out partying and stuff... and guess who's the mother hen of this house? Me, that's right. I have never had to stack and put a washing machine on so often in my life. It's not making me getting a job any easier because I'm so tired the effort is just gone, but I'm trying. I need money! Though it's not as easy. Oh and considering our neighbors are complaining about noise from here we have to be on our toes... it realy does suck. I just pray things get easier! They have to... right?
Well I think that's it from me. On the shipper front as many of you know things between MS have been rather scarce lately, save for yesterday's eppy that I've seen the one scene from, but LOVE! I'm so happy she actually went over there and demanded answers and forced herself to help, it's about damned time! I just hope CBS don't screw around in putting old eppys on instead of new ones. Fingers crossed YET AGAIN! At least Marty's drug problem has seemed to reach its climax and the healing process has begun, thanks to Danny mainly :D Man you gotta love the Smirking Cuban as I call him :P And with regards to fics, well I'm finishing up 'Without a Clue' (finally!), am thinking of making a sequel to 'Rain' (depends which ending I choose to take for this one :P) and have thought up ideas for a sequel to 'On Second Thought'... I can't wait to start that one :D And I have 'Now I See' which is coming along well except for the fact that in about 20 chapters time I won't know what to do! I have written notes for each chapter up to 43 but that's far from the ending. Not easy to think about! But I'm sure something will inspire me... study :P
Okay well that's all the ramblings from me. Bet you're all wishing I didn't update this thing at all but I like it and I just want to torture you all! Oh and welcome to the LJ family jennifoofighter! Hope you're not too overwhelmed and I've added you as a friend :D Great new fic by the way, though I've already said that I just wanted to enforce my point.
Thanks for reading and I apologize if your eyesight is now fuzzy... just be glad I didn't write all this by hand, then you'd be in strife... and so would I coincidentally!
xx Broni
Oh, and as another note, guess who else is becoming a moderator on Destined?? :D Score!

Okay, okay, okay, I know what you're all going to say, 'why does she even bother with this?' Well simple... coz I wanna, all right?
I know it's been MONTHS since I last wrote in this, but this year has been tougher than expected and I have almost literally been running my self into the GROUND. Not only has university been hard and my inspiration for MS fanfics has just sky rocketed and I've almost crossed that 140 fic barrier (yeah you heard me right, nearly 140 fics! My God, someone... call a therapist :S ) but I've had family situations to deal with and a dirty housemate.
Family things are always a problem, aren't they? Someone tell me I'm not the only person who goes through this. My sister is 16 and had a boyfriend, they were practically inseparable and she moved into his house (as she was working for his mum at her beauty shop too). Parent's didn't like this situation either as I guess you can imagine. They fought with her and it caused them stress, and then they'd ring me and tell me about it and I'd be stressing about it from here which is hard. So that was one load ON my mind.
And with the dirty housemate, she's a nice girl and everything, but honestly, I don't think she knows what soap is used for. It's really that crazy! At first I thought it was just because she's never lived out of home before. She's 18 and a bit naive. But she eats burnt toast and baked beans all the time, leaves the kitchen dirty with food and coffee stains (which unbeknownst to the rest of us sticks to your socks :S ) and she is just a grot. I've had to share a bathroom with her too but I'll save you the details. We've complained to the university about this and they got our hopes up, but as usual, did nothing.
University has been okay, work hard. I still have a few more things to do by Wednesday when I'm going home to Hoppers, and then going to Sydney next weekend for a wedding and a 21st birthday party. That's gonna be one helluva busy weekend I'll tell you that. So much to organize before then too, even better *rolls eyes*
On the lighter side of things everything with friends and such is going well. Almost had to move out of here due to a raise in the rent (by $31 a weeks, can you believe that?). But my parent's gave in saying they'd rather me have a place than look all summer for one (good point). Just hope I have 3 NEW housemates who are housebroken :P
Yeah anyway getting off the track, sorta looking forward to going home and catching up with friends. Feels like forever since I've seen them all! Some of them I try and keep in contact with but it doesn't always turn out that way, you know? And am also happy to say there is potential with a little romance for me over the summer. There was last holidays but sticking with my 'luck record', I got sick yet again. This time we've organized to meet up ahead of time and things should work out well.
Okay, not much else to say. Fingers crossed I update this thing more often, just hard to do sometimes having to get thoughts in order and spare time and all.
Oh just remembered another thing, am really proud about one specific thing this year; I wrote my first ever screenplay! It's a movie and 101 pages long, I wrote 3 drafts of it and my teacher loved it. Well she loved the second draft which was 79 pages long, but when I told her how long the third one was she was impressed and said I should try and get it made into an actual Australian movie. Somehow I don't think that will happen, but it's nice to have the encouragement, you know?
Hope everyone is well :) xx

Well here I am again, hope you all didn't miss me too much! hehehe...
Yeah things have been hectic here in the world of unistudent. Family dramas, school work ups and downs and not to mention the housemate circus I'm also enduring. Who would hvae thought the year 2005 would be so damn eventful! It's not even halfway through the year and already I have enough stories to tell. It's so weird, but also good as I am a writer. Though none of the dramas I'm experiencing would make good stories or anything, but hey, we need something to look back on and laugh at... right? Hello? Guess I'm wrong :S
So it's been what, 2 months since I last updated this journal thing? Right, well let's see. I guess I'll start off with WaT stuff, as that seems to take one of the forefront positions in my life. I have completed many fics since March and have managed to cross the 100 MS fic milestone! WOO HOO! I was so ecstatic about that. It shows I need more hobbies and such, but it's still great. I can't believe I've written so much for just a regular old show. But I still have my 20 non-any TV show related novels I've written, so it seems pretty even for me :P I think I'm up to 105 fics with WaT now, and have finished 'Shiver', 'Plea For Redemption' and 'Looking For Time 2', but almost the minute I finished them, along came my little muse (who is now locked in a tower for a few million years :P) and I have recently started 'Without a Clue', 'On Second Thought...', 'Looking For Time 3' and am rewriting the work SamSpade helped me with 'Escaping the Dark' as what we wrote was about a million pages long (I'm not wrong honi, you know us and writing :P) and am simplifying it down. But full credit still goes to her :)
On the school side of things I guess it's still a very busy time. Second year is a lot harder than I thought it would be. I have homework coming up to my ears. Editing is hard but it seems easier doing the mock workplace thing. I don't mind it that much. I'm co-author of the book we're editing that's been written already, so my role is to just do a whole lot of signing on "forms". It's a great process and I'm nervous about it, but so far things are going well. My Myths and Symbols teacher still wants to kick me, for what reason I don't know. I had him last year and all I did was mention going out for drinks once (as we were going out for the end of one of our classes to a pub with my teacher and other classmates) and he immediately labelled me the 'Drunk from Hoppers Crossing'. Now he calles me Barnsey (as last name is Barnes) and when we were watching 'Chocolat' for an assignment, he sat next to me and threatened to kick me and my chair numerous times. He's not serious though and it's just all in fun, but still... I don't know, I'm not complaining! I love teachers that are human too :)
Um, still school wise Screenwriting is awesome! The teacher still hasn't read over my synopsis yet, but that's okay. Though she wants our first draft of our script in by the 14 of July. That's about 6-7 weeks to write about 90-120 pages for a feature film script. I think I need my synopsis back to see if it's good enough. I pray it is. So far from what I've told her it's interesting, but we'll just have to see. I'm so nervous! But I'm going to start work on it this weekend, just to get its little feet off the ground. I've never written a script before, so it should be interesting too :) And at Mt. Helen uni things are fine except from the fact I recently failed one assignment. The lecturer assured me it doesn't mean I'll fail the unit as I got a credit on the first assignment (step above a pass) but still, I'm going to work my ass off for the last assignment (worth 50% of whole unit's mark, eep!). And with Fantasy... got how boring. I hate fantasy stuff! I'm not a sci-fi person! I just don't get it! And our last book had a rape scene in it, it was horrible. A lepor raped a virgin. Not a nice thing to read (it's called 'Lord Foul's Bane', really horrible). Now for that subject I have to draw a picture representing the fight our conscious has over doing write and wrong. Any ideas anyone?? I'm totally stumped :S
On the family front things are okay. My sister is still causing trouble by not staying at home. She isn't going to Queensland with the school camp like I did, but demanding the $500 it would cost anyway to spend on crap. Mum's not giving it to her, and I say GOOD. She has no right to ask for that! If she doesn't go, she doesn't go. Simple. Her choice. Mum rings me up all the time asking if what she's doing with my sister's situation is right, and so far I've backed her 100%. I really wish I was back home sometimes to help out. Especially since Dad pulled a muscle in his back. We thought he'd have to have surgery as he's been lying down for nearly 2 weeks in excruciating pain. But he's going to be fine in a week or so. I was so worried about him and considered going home, but it seems things are fine :) PHEWPH says I!
Anyhoo, must get back to... homework, writing fanfiction, talking to annoying friend on msn (aaron you little biatch) and just live my over-exciting life to the full... in this 11 degree weather, bloody cold! No way am I going outside today, no matter what... hehehe... Enjoy life people! xx

Well, stuff is just stuff as usual.
Don't expect a usual novel entry today coz I can't be assed. Just wanted to say love Witout a Trace. Watched all of season three episodes (minus Lonestar) last week and love them all. I have no idea why people don't like it. Probably because the episodes I liked didn't have much MS interaction. But I'm really glad I'm like this. Shows I'm not the craziest shipper of MS on the planet :P
I love Carl Barron. Saw some comedy special thing on TV last night and absolutely loved it. He is so funny. I really hope I meet him one day. He's an amazing stand up comic, and he's Australian! Who woulda thunk I'd like someone Australian?? Crazy... but I love comedy, what can I say?
Anyway, my birthday was good. Spent the day at uni (10 hour day on 35 degree heat - not pleasant for all you Americans reading; 35 is HOT). Then I had a sugar dinner with my three housemates. They made cake and bought lollies and party hats and streamers and stuff. Sure I turned 19 and they're 18, 20 and 20, but who said we have to act like it? God, social expectations get off my ASS!
Okay, on that note I'll go. Don't want to freak people out. Bye!

Well, well, well...
How things have changed lately. First of all university is back and I must say I'm loving it. Editing is going to be a challenge because we have to make a children's book and pretend someone else in the class is the person asking us to make it. So much work is involved. But it'll be a good challenge :) But right now we have to proofread a 21 page script written for us by our screenwriting teacher and then go into class and talk about the things that could get fixed up. Man, it's going to take me FOREVER!
Screenwriting is great. We will be writing the script for our own feature film. It's going to be great and has to be about 90-130 minutes long, which is a lot of pages, let me tell you. We wrote the beginning to one just as an exercise in the first class last week, it was only about 15-20 seconds long, but I'm happy because the teacher loved what I wrote. It really made me happy. This is what I wrote, picture it:
A bright Autumn afternoon. Leaves on the ground, falling with the wind gusts. A blonde 30-ish woman driving down the street turns the corner, observing her new surroundings. She looks around, frowning, and reaches over to the passenger seat, rumaging through empty coffee cups and forgotten food wrappers, searching for a single piece of paper. So many cliched suburban houses lining both sides of the street; two cars in the driveways, children's toys adorning the recently cut front lawns. She sighs, finding the paper and reading the address scribbled on it.
(For that there had to be one character who had to show mystery, or made us want to know more about. I think mind does that... well the teacher said it does, so... yay!)
Another subject I have is Myths and Symbols. Here we study ancient myths, like Roman and Greek myths and such. Even some Chinese ones. It's going to be really good! We're now doing Oedipus, and I'm so happy because I did that for english two years ago in year 12, and went extremely well in the exam for it, so I'm excited. (Got among the top 90% of students in the state on the exam.) So this subject will be good too, except for the 10 minute oral presentation. That's gonna suck, but hey, so far so good :)
On the other side of the emotions list, Steven and I broke up last week. We both decided it was too hard to have a relationship living so far apart. I'd felt that way for a long time, not really comfortable in the relationship, but it was good while it lasted. Now though, I'm definitely happier being single. I don't feel guilty staring at other guys :D Not that I did...
It's my birthday soon too :) First of March, next Tuesday :) It's gonna be a bitch of a day though because I have both university and TAFE from 8.30-5.30 classes. It's gonna be so busy. But on the lighter side of it, new Simpsons episode that night, followed by two repeats and then CSI (new eppys!) and CSI: New York, which premiered last night and I loved.
Hopefully things stay good though.
Okay, gotta go and do some homework :) Bye! xx

Hey guys!
Well for a start, I have to mention the storm and rain we've been having pelting down here in the past 24 hrs or so. It has been so bad. Almost every major road around here is under water... not to mention our front yard! It was so bad last night, I didn't even sleep. Probably should have read more or something but I tried to sleep. It was freaky, the clouds were like the pinky/orangey/reddy color they were so heavy, and that was at 3 in the morning! I don't think we'll be in drought after that :P
Anyway, aside from that, other things are good. Steven's good... I think. Haven't seen him in a little over a week, but it's all right with me. I have a lot of reading to do for uni still which is getting done. Three books down, about six to go. But that's by the 28th of February, so I think I'll make it... if I cut all people out of my life until then :P Which I won't, so I think I'll be behind.
Let's see, what else? Um... well had to go to my house in Ballarat to clean everything out for the carpet cleaners. Our house was getting inspected by the university (coz they own it, I just rent it off them) and what do I find? A pig fucking sty. Two people were living in it over the summer, and there was old food everywhere, posessions everywhere, the backdoor lock was fixed, and somehow we had a kiddie pool in our backyard don't ask me how. I tell you all what, I threw the biggest fit imaginable. My boyfriend was actually scared I was going to throw my desk at him if he didn't carry it out of the room... and I probably would have.
But it's all good now. The house is cleaned (I hope, haven't been back since) and I'll be moving back in in about a week and a half. The day after my sister's 16th birthday. Which she won't stop talking about. But she's causing me hell at the moment, so yeah... getting away for school will be good in the long run ;)
Okay, I'm gonna go, might update this later. I'm sure more's happened since I last wrote in here, but remember I didn't sleep last night and now it's just after 9am... I'm bloody tired and my coffee's still too hot to drink. OH! Went to a dress up party as an FBI agent. Now the local supermarket and fire department think I'm really an agent thanks to one of my friends who works at both places. I think I have a lot of explaining to do... but I'll still be carrying around my "badge" (which could be taken as a real one ;) and my handcuffs (the real deal... hehehe...)
Chat to you all later people! xx

Hoi mates :)
Yeah it's crazy me back. I've got the house to myself for the first time in a long time and I'm loving it. It's great to not have family visiting for lunch (which my mom makes a huge banquet... not that I'm complaining about that, but I don't enjoy not being able to fit into my jeans, okay?) and also great not having to deal with my mom on my back about 'getting out and catching up with friends'. She doesn't understand that I could sit down doing nothing and still keep myself entertained. She just doesn't understand... Meh! I'm over it :) One more month to go and then I'm back in my own home doing what I want.
That's all I'm looking forward to.
But things have been okay I guess... aside from hearing about everything htat happened with the tsunami. God, I just can't believe it. So much devastation at what should be a joyous time of year. But that's usually when disaster does strike. It really sucks. I only hope everyone over there will be able to rebuild their lives after this terrible tragedy. It's times like this I wish I wasn't so well off like I am, because I feel guilty while they're suffering. It's so difficult to contemplate, isn't it?
I'm trying to stay positive though. Have to. New Years is coming up. Not that I'm terribly excited about that. Had a few offers to go out with friends, but didn't particularly want to get high and drunk with Hailey and Barry in Daylesford. So decided to go to Ebony's for her party, which now has been cancelled coz she had a fight with the girl she's organizing it with. So we're going to her aunt and uncle's for the night with her parents, and my boyfriend. Not sure it'll be fun because found out some things about Steven I'm not sure I was ready for, and he found out something about me I didn't want him to ever know.
It's really a confusing situation. I'm hoping it will pass though. I don't want to worry about it all. Need to bring in the new year happily. Or at least try to anyway.
I'm really looking forward to my best friend visiting. She drove down here with her boyfriend yesterday and we're due to catch up soon. It should be good. Haven't seen her in about six months or spoken to her in about three. It's so strange. But hey, talking sometimes is better than nothing. Wish I could have gone to her graduation early December though. She finished high school (graduated a year after me though we're the same age because she moved to Beijing in 2000 and their school year is different), but she aced the end of the year. I'm so proud of her!
On another good hand, Christmas was great. Got a ton of tops, two gold necklaces from sister and boyfriend, an electric massager (which is soooooooo loud... seems more like a vibrator, but it's not hahaha... no comment, right?? ;) and I got Gwen Stefani's new CD. It's so great... but the best thing I got was the Without a Trace first season on DVD. It's SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO great!! Hahaha haven't even finished watching them all either. Gonna take me aaaaaaaaaaaaaaages... though not that I'm complaining ;)
Well that's about all I can talk about. Oh! My godparents and their daughters have all of my stories that I've written. The girls are in their early-mid twentis but have mental problems, so are sort of more like children. They're great though :) Always smiling and stuff. And they're really interested in my writing, so I gave them all my songfics, post-ep fics and the series 'a Cry for Help' as well as 'the Sun Will Always Shine'. God I'm nervous. After they left I got so nervous, suddenly remembering all the heavy sex scenes I've written and bad language. Somehow I have a feeling I'm going to be in a looooooot of trouble from them.
But it can't be all bad... right?
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR TOO, HOPE IT'S ALL A BLAST AND BETTER THAN MINE :p
Love ya all. xx

And here it is, the season of giving, receiving, and drinking and eating yourself stupid with family you only want to see once a year... well that's my way of thinking of it anyway. Though I must admit it sucks to be around people at Christmas when i don't have money to buy presents and go to the movies with, but hey... being in the spirit is what matters, right? Well, it's gonna have to do. Though I must also admit that having a dream where I did get a job really sucked. Made me wake up with hope. But oh well...
Then I found out that 'Without a Trace' is out on DVD down here! God I couldn't believe it! I still can't believe it! I told my parents last night that I wanted it for Christmas. Seriously, I don't care if that's all I get for Christmas. Watching all of those eps and the special features and stuff will keep me occupied for the rest of the holidays. That's all I could ask for. And seriously, I know that's all my parents could ask for too... hehehe... i should tell them that one. I think my chances of getting it will be greater ;)
Anyhoo... not much else has been going on. I'm fully recovered from the tonsillitis thank God. My sore throat did linger for about a week longer, as did my croaky throat. My boyfriend's mum was worried that I might have something more serious, but it's all back to normal now, so I'm fine. Nice to see she cared too :) I met both of his grandmothers too. He warned me they were full on Ukranian, but I didn't expect to not be able to understand them. The eldest of them whose like 92 liked my boots. She's adorable :)
And on Saturday night he's taking me out to celebrate our 3 month anniversary. He keeps asking me what I want to do, but I told him 'I make up the decisions on what to do all the time, now it's your turn. I don't wear the pants in this relationship ALL THE TIME'. My dad thought that was classic :) What can I say? I'm a writing student for a reason ;)... I think... I did tell Steven that I don't want to go to MacDonald's or KFC. He agreed... thank God. But it should be good. Can't wait to see what he's thinking of.
But that's Saturday night. I'm tired just thinking about it. On Tuesday I got a hair cut (which I love! short, layers, layered fringe... cute I think :) Looks sorta like Poppy Montgomery from 'The Friendly Skies'... at least that the look I was going for) and then that night had the farewell/break up/Christmas concert for my old high school's senior band, which I was a member of for about 8 years. I feel really old. A guy who was there who graduated in 1997 and was in the band when I first started, he came up to me and said, 'I remember you when you were this big' and I have never heard anyone except family members say that at birthday's, weddings and funerals. It's too weird! I'm surprised he didn't pinch my cheeks.
And yeah, a lot more stuff has happened, but I'm tired just thinking about writing it down. Tonight I'm going to a pool hall with some friends, and tomorrow night the movies with friends. Should be good.
But until then, yeah, I'm catching up on sleep :) Oh... and if I hear one more person ask me why I don't have my driver's license, I'm seriously gonna scream! it bugs the shit outta me!
I think I'll go before I get too worked up or I ramble even more. Hope to see you all soon! If you're an online buddy, hope to chat soon! :) Oh, and if I don't write another journal entry soon... MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! Stay safe xx

Yes I'm home. I shouldn't be, but due to unforseen circumstances, I am stuck at home. I have one word for you all: tonsillitis. I don't know if that's spelt right, and I don't care either. But I have it. Third time in four years. It's terrible! And to make things worse, the doctor said this is a bad case and I'll be sick for about ten days. GREAT! Now to tell you why I'm really ticked off; I was supposed to go away for a holiday with my boyfriend and some of his friends to Philip Island for a few days. Yeah, they left yesterday and are coming back Tuesday or Wednesday. But noooooooo, I have to be sick! The doctor said I could still go, I just can't drink alcohol, talk a lot and I'd have to rest, drinking plenty of liquids. What's the point in going then? I slept all day yesterday and I can't turn my head without wincing because my glands are so swollen. Man this is hell... what a way to start off the summer holidays, huh??
Anyhoo, aside from that... yeah things are still pretty shit. I'm still working on 'Blue Eyed Reminder' with help from my beautiful writing companion SamSpade. She helped me out a bit, but I have the next few chaps in mind thanks to a romantic comedy movie I watched a couple of nights ago. It gave me inspiration :) I think you know which part it's given me inspiration for ;) But that's all I'm saying. I am also trying to attempt writing fanfic challenges people have posted, but believe it or not, I doubt I could. They seem really complicated with flashbacks and stuff. But hey, I'll try anything once :D
What else? Oh yeah, Christmas is coming soon, so I won't be buying presents; lack of money. Unless my mom's friend let's me work in her coffee shop for the summer. I'm giving her my resume tonight (well my mom is at dinner, since I can't go out) and we'll see what she says. I'm really nervous. I'll need to be trained and everything, but it should be good... that's if I get the job. I'm not getting my hopes up yet I swear. I'm living off Weet-Bix for God's sake! Ah, this holiday sucks so far.
I think that's all the rambling I should do for now. If I complain anymore, I won't have anymore friends on LJ. Though I am happy I found this song I've been looking for since the Utah Winter Games. Two years I know, but yeah I saw it on a cable music channel that is doing a 90s music weekend, and this song came on! It's a different version to the one I wanted (I heard the a cappella version done by another boy group... cute too ;) but this one's just as good. It's got the drum solo and big band brass that I love, so no complaints. It's putting me in a good mood right now, aside from the fact I have the house to myself :) Now if only I wasn't sick...
Okay, see ya's later! xx

Hey guys!
My holidays have officially started! (Sorry for rubbing salt into the wound Sammy honi, but you know I love ya :P I couldn't be happier :) I'm home in Hoppers Crossing which is okay, but it's not that great either. I guess it's better than being in Ballarat with the people who are occupying the house for the summer. They're nice, don't get me wrong, but I have a feeling they're party animals, and truthfully I don't have the head for that at the moment.
So now I'm just kicking it back at home, catching up on my cable television. Man I never realized how much I missed it until Dad left me home alone yesterday. Now I'm OBSESSED! Hehehe... Anyway, things have been good. I'm going away on Saturday for four days to Philip Island with my boyfriend and some of his mates. It looks to be good. They're all drinkers though and I don't have money for that, so looks like I'll be sober. Which is also a good thing, because I'll be the only girl... look out I know. But it'll be good to get away I think. Just some fun in the sun with 6 rowdy drinkers!! Paradise (yes, said sarcastically).
Hopefully though I'll be able to start some more fanfiction series during the holidays. I have 'Blue Eyed Reminder' which is going really well (everyone loves it, but my head's its normal size i swear!! ;) I have a few ideas in mind for other series fics. One's already in the works as a sequel series to 'A Cry For Help' which I've sort of started, and another one I got inspired to write by 'Cold Case' last night, but I'm not saying anymore then that.
Okay, well must go and write... and watch BEATBOXING! Man the 'Australian Idol 2' final last night was pretty good... too bad I missed the bulk of it because of Crime Night (CSI, Cold Case, CSI: Miami and Without a Trace) but I did tape one performance done by about 8 beatboxers from around Australia. I LOVE BEATBOXING!!! I only wish I could do it. But until I learn that fine art and make my millions off that (hehehe, stop laughing people!) I'll keep watching their performance and writing fics. Worked for me so far, right?? Guys?? ... GUYS!!
Oh well, check ya all later xx

All I can say is THANK GOD! I thought this year would never end... well I thought this school year would never end. Who the hell said that one week could follow another? I want to kill them... no, that's being too leniant. I'd be doing this for a lot of people around the world. I think torture would be more appropriate. If you haven't guessed yes, my school/university year is almost over. One down, two and a half to go... don't ask, even I don't get it. Personally three years all up would be fine. But no, they have to torture us with an extra semester. I'll complain about that more as the time comes :)
Well the week from hell I've been waiting to end is over; one presentation and two assignments all in. All of them I was worried about. Now I just have a ten minute speech and two more assignments due in over the next three weeks, so I'm relaxed about that. I only wish I knew how to write 2000 more words for my novel to pass. That's gonna kill me, but MEH! I'll get over it, right? Well I'll have to. Though my teacher said 7500 is enough, but the requirement is 10 000. I'll see what I can do. It's tough though. Now I don't wanna write anymore, coz he says my dialogue is bad. How the hell is that??
Oh well... on the lighter side of things, my muse is coming back for Martin/Samantha fics (probably due to the new season). Thank God! Not knowing what to write for them was hard. But I'm finding little bits of inspiration everywhere. It's great! I even had a dream last night that the team were working on a tough case and were around the conference, then Sam reached for Martin's hand and held it tight. Danny and Viv were giving them smirks and were jaw dropped. It was strange... don't usually dream about WaT at all. But hey, no complaints :)
I also messaged my best friend a few days ago. I miss her so much. Didn't really realize until she msg'd back. She went to Thailand with her bf for a week for their one year anniversary. Wish I knew so I could get her to buy me stuff :) But yeah, hopefully I can catch up with her soon. It's so hard. Times have changed that's for sure. But oh well. I might be going away with my bf and his friends over summer to Queensland (the Gold Coast! THEME PARKS AND ROLLERCOASTERS! WOOHOO!!!), so maybe on the way I can stop by her place and spend a day or something.
Anyhoo, better get back to writing and watching crap on TV :) Catch y'all later! xx

Hello everyone!
How have you all been? I've been busy. That's my excuse anyway ;) I know I don't use this as often as I used to, but university is getting busy heading towards the end of the year and all, I haven't had much of a chance to sum up the last couple of months of my life. So I figured while I'm supposed to be "studying" I'd write a few things down.
As I've already mentioned, university is just busy. I have quite a few tests, assignments and presentations that need to get done over the next 3 weeks or so, so once they're done I'll be happy. No exams for my course though, which is a huge relief :) I'm happy about it anyway. Now I'm using my 4-day weekend as much as I can.
On the homefront, family is good, not as much fighting going on. My sister's still with her boyfriend and spending more time with him than at home. But I think my parents are just grateful for the silence. I know I would be... wait, i don't live with her, so technically, I am! Woo hoo! Hehehe... And I've been going home every couple of weeks for the weekend. Not much to report on that.
Uh, what else? Oh yeah I have a boyfriend, Steven. He's twenty and great. We spend time together usually when I'm at home. He lives in Glenroy, so he drives down to see me. He doesn't mind, thank God. He saw me play in my old high school band yesterday at a performance for the Werribee Arts Festival, which was good. I got to play the drums, just like old times which was great. Three minutes to bash the crap out of those things. I never knew I had to much pent up anxiety :)
Other than that, not much else has been done. I still write Without a Trace fanficion, though I've been cutting back a bit, not only from lack of time, but lack of ideas and energy. It's been a draining year and I think it's all catching up with me, so people bare with me. Once December comes, hopefully I'll be back into the swing of things. Seems season three will hold plenty of inspiration for me. Such a great show, I can't get enough.
But also on the writing front, aside from WaT and my course, I have started a new novel. Another reason I've cut back on fanfiction actually. I have been writing since I was 11 and have over twenty novels, about 5 completed. The others are started and planned. I've missed creating my own characters from scratch and being able to create things without having to rely on others for facts and stuff. I started a new one too, which I am really excited about but having not much time to write. It's a crazy mixed up world, but hey, it's mine :)
So I hope everything is okay for you all out there. Let me know what you're up to, I don't want to lose anyone while I'm struggling with finishing this year. It's all nuts I know. Love ya all! xx

Thought I'd update again seeing as I'm in class now and not using up my parents money :)... well that and I have to wait half an hour for the bus, so yeah, there you go. I'm in a pretty chipper mood now coz had a good class this morning -- got told by the teacher that we don't have to go in 'til 9.30am next monday. 10 minute sleep in! WOO!! (yes, that's sarcasm... but you all knew that, right?)
And then got 'black and white' magazine today with Poppy Montgomery in it. Strange magazine that is. Some good photos, and larger than a usual magazines and stuff, but tons of nudity. Don't think I'll buy it again. An interesting read though. Can't be angry about that... yet... 'til I have nightmares... ew!!
Yeah and now I'm in my novel class, and I'm happy coz I wrote 650 words for the beginning of my 10 000 word novel, and aside from the first paragraph, the teacher liked it! I'm so chipper it's not funny! I just won't tell him that I edited it about a thousand times this afternoon. He doesn't want us to... hehehe...
So yeah, there's my day folks! Not much else is happening. Supposed to be having a driving lesson Thursday if the instructor rings me back to make an appointment. But I doubt he will coz I'm busy every day until Thursday, and Thursday night mum's coming to pick me up to go home for three days. I'm happy about that :) Need to get out of this cold town for a few days... though I spend most time writing in my room and watching 'Whose Line Is It Anyway?' (regained my love for those boys... damn Colin and Ryan are cute! ;)
As for fics (if you're wondering, though you're all probably not, but I'm writing it anyway, okay? Good...) I'm writing a lot for 'The Sun Will Always Shine', have some great ideas for it but might need more help (I'm reaching out to someone, and I think she knows who she is... right? hehehe... SNAP!!)
So I'm gonna go and get ready to freeze in the cold, dark town I call home. Hope everyone is good and getting on with their lives!! xx

Well well well, envy me all of you! Hehehe... this is my life, okay?
Monday: Industry Overview (class) 8.30 - 12.30. Go home. Novel (class) 6 - 8.30.
Tuesday: Hollywood Cinema (class) 10.30 - 5.30.
Wednesday: Editing (class) 8.30 - 12.30. Corporate Writing (class) 1.30 - 5.30.
Thursday - Sunday: Weekend! That part's good. But I spend that time catching up on sleep, food and homework. It sucks! I don't even have an imagination to write fics anymore! It bites ass big time! I'm so over it and it's only 3 weeks into the semester!
To add to the bad part, I don't have a job, therefore not much money. Yet parents still want me to get driving lessons, and pay for it... by busking? I don't get it. Oh well, their money I guess. At least I've got a car, that's one thing to check off the list. '85 Nissan Pulsar. Cute white hatchback. That's all I can think of to describe it. Plus the inevitable M word... manual. That was a STUPID idea!
And I'm venting. That seemed inevitable too :) Sorry. Good news though, I got my baby back! My laptop Minal (that's his name... don't ask). It's so great to have all my songs, WAT clips and internet back. Trust me, my days of writing fics on paper are over!! ... until I drop my laptop again, or do something else so utterly stupid. Trust me, it'll happen. Probably right around holiday or exam time. The Gods are playing around with me. *shakes fist to sky*
Hopefully things'll get better. So far class isn't so bad. I've got friends and coffee, can't ask for more than that, can I? You know what? I'm not gonna complain anymore unless something drastic happens, okay? Okay. Glad we got that settled :)
Hey SunReyes, if you read this, question, how did you get your layout like that, with the picture covering the back of the screen and your entries on the side? I want mine to be that way but I have no idea how. Just thought I'd ask here :) Thanks honi. And I can't wait to read those JS fics about ur weekend (winkety wink) though none will be as exciting as the real thing, huh? Unless there's a happy ending (hehehe).
Okay, I'll sign off now. Hope all is well with everyone and you're not freezing in this bitter cold (that's right SunReyes, I said FREEZING!!). Hopefully I'll chat to everyone soon and catch up properly!! And I also hope my muse will co-operate enough to let me write my 10000 word novel for class plus more fanfics :) We'll see, right?
Luv ya all xx

Where do I start? Hm... well, holidays are over! I'm back in Ballarat, sloooooowly getting used to the freezing cold weather again! Not easy after three weeks of practically staying inside in the warmth with mocha! hehehe... crazy I know :) But yeah, all good aside from that. Frigin computer in the shop 2 weeks longer than necessary because they ordered a new faulty part... how in the HELL can you order a new part that's faulty! ... Then my dad explained that it's the motherboard and if one little wire's screwed, the whole thing's screwed. But thankfully, nothing will be lost on my memory (MS fics, my stories, my 700 songs, pics, etc.) so I'm all right. Just want it back!
*breathes slowly* I'm fine! Really, I'll be fine! So anyway, things are good. Got to see Alessia - my best friend - who came down here 2 weeks ago from Canberra and stayed with her older sister Carla and her boyfriend Ash at their new house in Narre Warren. We went shopping at Fountaingate and Knox Shopping Center (as you do) and I regained my love for sushi :) Also bought a coat everyone i know likes :) Yay me ;)
But yeah, have just been writing a lot of songfics and post-ep fics for WAT (as you do) and chatting to people. Not much in my boring life. Just trying to get away from my dad who keeps chasing me to take me out driving (so I can get my license soon). He's annoying to drive with. I know he has my best intentions at heart though, but come on. I'm over it though.
Okay, hope everyone's okay! Miss ya all! (in the cyber world anyway :) xx

Okay, like things weren't bad enough right now! As you know got my comp back and all is fine. But then, I had to drop it today, didn't I? It's my sister's fault, her friend rang on the phone and I thought mum and dad couldn't answer it! So in my hurry, it fell off my lap and onto the floor, screwing up its battery pack. It lasted two hours before it died on me, losing a story I just started and was hoping to post tonight. Extremely frustrating! Sorry to all I vented on.
But aside from that, have figured out an ending to 'Another' with great help from Lovely Lia, and am starting a new series with SamSpade as we speak, so fics are looking up. Hope everyone is better than me! Nearly crashed the car too, and screwed up a knee by sitting down (don't ask). Other than that, on holidays and loving it! Bye! xx

Hey Guys! Sorry I haven't updated in a while, but I've had computer troubles. Thought my modem got fried during a power outage last Friday (I didn't know they could happen either!) but it turned out it was the cable that connects to my internet... I stepped on it and screwed it up... don't tell my parents. We'll let them blame the electricity company ;)
Anyway, I've written a bit. I wrote my first R rated fic but am hesitant to post it anywhere. Not sure it's worth it. Was just bored and watching... god knows actually. And saw the ep. 'Moving On' last night... very good. Poor Viv, she deserves more from them. But she's great! The way she turned it on Jack, beautiful! Gotta admit, the girl has balls ;)
So, I'm up to chapter 9 of 'The Sun Will Always Shine' and chapter 8 of 'A Cry For Help'. Not bad for someone who had to hand write for a week *cries* But it's all over now. I'm over it. I have my baby back (laptop, hehehe). I'm still at chapter 20 of 'Another' - need to figure out an ending for that one - and I've written a bunch of small fics here and there. Getting a lot of support from everyone, it's really amazing! If the ideas keep coming, I'll keep writing, there's a promise.
All right must go and... write! Two more songfics in the works. Happy reading, writing, watching, etc. of whatever you all do! xx

Well, as I have been pretty busy with university work I haven't really had a chance to update this, coz it takes a lot of time. So now I am... but also it has been raining for almost a week here, and the rain has had this creative effect on me. Ever since it rained, I have been writing MS fics non-stop. I also had the house to myself last weekend, which helped too. Here is a list of the ones I have done:
The Reality Of It
The Truth Of The Matter (sequel to above)
Do You Remember?
up to chapter 6 of A Cry For Help
up to chapter 5 of The Sun Will Always Shine
up to chapter 20 of Another
Reasons To Stare
And I have plenty of more in store. This weekend I don't have homework and my parents aren't visiting, so I'm basically here the whole time. Yay! Hopefully I'll write more and remember to update here :)

well today is my last chance to do all my homework before tomorrow, so i'll get stuck into it. just as a note for myself really, yesterday i posted 'another' 19, 'the sun...' 2 and 3, 'the reality of it' and 'more comfort than necessary'. am proud of self :)
hopefully will update thursday. aside from that, nothing else has happened. been raining for the past 3 days... i think that's why i'm writing so much... hm... that's a good thing i'm sure. anyway, must study and write :)
