Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Hey everyone!
Happy holidays, whether it be Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza or none of the above! (yes, I know I'm late, shut up)
What were some of the gifts you were given?
My 3 top gifts were (in no particular order):
A Doctor Who t-shirt
A pocket watch
The Glee Warblers Cd

:D what were your holiday plans?

Just found out that there's a blogger app for my iPod, so I'm currently using that :P you can update pics from here as well, so expect a lot of photos from now on!! :P

...and just to prove my point, I have attached a photo :P

Now, it's almost the end of 2011. Is it possible to love and hate a year at the same time? Anyway, I couldn't be more grateful for what I have :)

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

Anniversary

1 year..

1 whole year ago my life turned around completely.

I came stumbling onto Derek Landy's blog asking what fanfiction was... a hell of a lot has changed since then.

I still remember who the first person I talked to was (Nicolette), I still remember thinking how you lot were completely insane

but I also remember staying up until 3am with a tin of Christmas jellybeans talking to you lot and having the most amazing time.
You guys accepted me straight away, introduced me to the world of blogsland and all the people in it.
And I couldn't be more grateful.

I've been on here for fights, people leaving, world disasters, marriages, divorces, people coming and going, family problems, in sickness and in health, fanfiction, OCs, Competition, I even shared New Years with you.What I've learnt is that we're just one, big, insane family. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

I love you guys so much.
I've had one hell of a year (as you can probably see from my previous post.) But you guys were always there for me. And I hope that by now you know that I'm here for you too.

So, 63 posts, some insane memories and almost a year later, we're still here, one huge family who never breaks no matter what and I hope that never changes.

Thank you for being the most amazing people I've ever met.

Lots of love,

Self-Harm

This post is going to be a lot more serious than my last one.

I know a couple of you know this but no one who I actually see on regular basis does. Well, did. On Thursday night I told 2 of my closest friends. I cut. I self harm. We sat there, we cried but I am so glad I told them. I'm getting better, I really am. I've been bullied and had one of the worst years of my life this year but I pulled through. And I want you all to know that if you ever need someone to talk to, someone to ask questions too, then I'm here. Just send me an email and I'll do everything I can to help. Because you're not alone.

NaNoWriMo Fail...

Soooooo, maybe next year? (I blame exams)

Letter 2: Your Crush


Dear Crush,

Well, you’re currently non-existent so this’ll be short :P No one ever ‘like likes’ me, I’m always just a ‘friend’ so at the moment the only ‘crush’ I have is a fangirl crush *cough*DarrenCriss*cough* or a crush on a fictional character. Why are all the good ones fictional or not possible to have? *sigh* Not. Cool. Anyway, no crushes here so I’m just going to end this now.

Sincerely,

Katie xx

Letter 1: Your Best Friend.


Dear Best Friend,

You don’t exist. Simple as that. Yes, I have close friends, but not a best friend. My best friend is imaginary, books, fiction, my own creation because no one else gets it. There’s no one to tell, no one who could possibly understand me, no one who I can just call when needed, no one who I can go on vacation with, meet up at a moments notice, like the same things I do and won’t criticise my rambling or obsessions. So, there you have it, no best friend to write to, just myself. Thank you my imagination!

Sincerely,

Katie xx

Society

Ok, so this isn't gonna be a happy post, to be honest it's gonna be rather angry, but I promise I have and epic halloween post and a fanfic post coming up soon.

WARNING: There will be ALOT of swearing in this.

So today we were getting changed after sport and one of the pretty, skinny girls was complaining about how fat she was, and that PISSED ME OFF! I was so fucking upset that fucking SOCIETY makes people think that they need to skinny and like make up and have the 'perfect clothes' to fit in! Then the other day one of the girls said that one of the songs she was listening to was 'old' it had been out for TWO FUCKIN' WEEKS!!! I still listen to songs from YEARS ago and think they're cool, SO WHAT??
And when I brought some of that up in the change room? They laughed at me, they fucking LAUGHED at me!!! Then there's those people who go around calling people 'fags' or 'gay' or 'homo' as an insult. IT MAKES ME SO FUCKING PISSED OFF! Can't people learn some respect? Society is such a bitch. Causing people to think that's acceptable. It's so wrong! Stero typing, calling people names, discriminating, IT'S SO WRONG!!!! UUUGH!

Rant Over.

New Fanfic!...again :P

Yes, yes, I know, yet ANOTHER shot at fanfiction but I actually like how this one turned out, let me know if you think I should continue it :) ENJOY!

The rain hit the tops of the large London houses, the noise of the water pitter pattering on the tin rooftops was almost deafening. The sky was grey up above and showed no signs of stopping the heavy falling droplets. Most of the streets were pretty empty, with only a few stragglers running towards the nearest shelters they could find. A young girl, no more that the age of 14 could be seen pulling her the hood of her too big jacket further over her in hopes of a little more shelter.
"Only a little further and I'll be there. The easy part's done, nothing else can go wrong." she muttered to herself trying to keep positive despite the circumstances. But as soon as she had said those words an bus came around the corner, the side wheels hitting a huge puddle right next to where she was walking. She got soaked. After a few seconds of panicked checking to make sure what she needed was still there she continued on her way even more wet and miserable than before. The dirty water from the bus had caused a huge brown stain on the side of her jacket.
"This is just not my day." she sighed defeatedly and continued on her way.

**************

Several hours, train rides and some kind of illegal bus riding (she didn't have any money on her!) later she arrived at her destination, a huge manor house type place known as Elysium Asylum. She knocked three times before a girl with jet black hair and blue-green eyes opened the peephole.
"Password" she stated in a very official tone.
"Kallista, I'm not in the mood, you know it's me, just let me in!" the younger girl sighed in exasperation.
"Password" the girl said again.
"Kallista, don't make me say it, I swear, if you make me say it I will not be impressed" She huffed.
"Password" the girl stated for the third time. Letting out a resigned sigh, the first girl started to speak.
"Fine, 'Triple rainbow fudge happiness'"
Kallista giggled but opened the large doors.
"Jaffa! Good to see you again!" Kallista went in for a hug but stopped short as she noticed Jaffa's bedraggled appearance.
"I'd rather not talk about it, the important thing is that I got what we needed." At those words Jaffa dropped a rather full manila folder onto the worn dining room table. Kallista picked it up whilst Jaffa peeled off the sopping wet jacket and threw it down the laundry chute in the room next door. She turned back into the dining room to say goodnight to Kallista.
"Hey Kal?"
"Hm?" the older girl looked up from reading the folders
"I'm gonna have a shower and go to bed, ok?" Kallista dropped the folders back onto the table and jumped up out of the chair she was in.
"Aww, but everyones having a bonfire up at the back hill tonight, are you sure you don't want to come?"
"I would love to Kal but I'm cold, wet and tired, all I want right now is a hot shower and to go to bed. Say hi to everyone for me though." Kal gave her a sympathetic smile.
"Of course, we'll all get together and talk tomorrow"
After a quick, slightly damp, hug, both girls went their separate ways. Jaffa was lucky enough not to run into anyone else on her way up to her room, it's not that she didn't want to talk to anyone it was just because she was far too tired. After what felt like forever she reached her room. Everyone knew it was hers because of all the bright decorations hanging on her door, that and the huge sign that said 'Jaffa's Room' in bold writing across the front of the door. She pushed it open and made a beeline towards the bathroom. She turned so she could see her back in the mirror and gently pulled her shirt over her shoulder, there was blood everywhere. She had been lucky that Kallista hadn't noticed it other wise she'd be stuck with questions she didn't really want to answer. Wincing as she pulled the shirt further down her shoulder to expose the rest of the injury. Her usually pale skin was stained with blood and the huge gash stretching from the top of her right shoulder diagonally across her back to the back of her left ribcage. In fact, a small chunk of her right shoulder had been, what looked like, cut out. Wincing once more as she pulled her shirt off, the dried blood sticking to it causing fresh blood to flow freely. Quickly undressing, she stepped into the shower letting the hot water fall over her resisting the urge to cry out when the water hit her injury. After about 20 minutes she stepped out and after fixing the wound as best she could, slipped on some of her favourite pj's and clambered into bed. Jaffa knew she should probably tell the others about her injury but she also knew that they wouldn't be too impressed with her if they found out how she had received it. Finally, after a quick internal debate she decided she wouldn't tell them until absolute necessary and just hoped that those acting classes she had when she was younger would pay off. She'd just settled down under the big, fluffy duvet when there was a light knock on the door.
"Come in." she called lightly and marked the page in her book.
"Good to see you here again Jaffa"
She looked up to see what appeared to be a man of about the age of 25 standing at her door.
"Israel!" she exclaimed and jumped up to give him a hug, momentarily faltering from the pain in her shoulder but quickly continuing on, hoping he hadn't noticed. He did, but chose not to mention it.
"Shouldn't you be at the bonfire with the others?" she questioned.
"Kallista mentioned you'd arrived so I thought I'd come up and say hi, and also congratulate you on your amazing skill at getting those folders, quite an achievement."
Jaffa flushed pink and looked at the ground.
"Anyway, I'd best be getting back to the others and letting you sleep, I'll get everyone together and we can all talk tomorrow."
"Ok, night night Israel, make sure Kal said hi to everyone for me!" she flashed him a sleepy smile and crawled back into bed.
"Will do. Night Jaffa." Israel flicked off the light and quietly closed the door. Jaffa was sleeping peacefully for the first time in weeks

Sooo, what did ya think? I'm actually pretty proud of this one :) let me know if you think I should continue it or, well, not. :)

Jaffa xx

Sorry!

Sorrysorrysorrysorrysorrysorrysorry! I haven't poster for ov a month! How horrible am I!?
Soooooooo much has happened! I went to this band camp thing, I had my birthday and birthday party (I'll post some pics of my cake and stuff when I get a chance), I had HEAPS of school work, oh, and I got Twitter! My username is jaffacake98 if any of you are on Twitter, my updates are usually quite random but, hey! Thats me for ya :P I also have a new tv show to add to my top favourite shows and that would be; Glee. I only really got into it cause of Darren Criss (they might be doing A Very Potter Threequel in 2012!) but it's actually really good, and I love music and all that but it's really different to what I usually watch (NCIS, Doctor Who (new series comes out on Saturday for me! Yay!),Torchwood, Primeval.) all kind of related to death in some way, so it's a bit of a change for me :P Anyway, enough ramblings about tv.

NIDA and HARRY POTTER!!!!!!

The 11th-13th of July were the best three days of my life. (and has the font changed on this thing?)
I'll explain it day by day.

Monday (11th): My first day at NIDA. There were only 5 people in my course, including me. We were doing Writing Doctor Who. So, on the first day we just met the Tutor and each other then studied different genre's and actual Doctor Who scripts! We got to read through the scripts and be the characters which was REALLY fun. We also got to watch bits of different episodes. Plus we found out what we'd be doing for the next 2 days.

Tuesday (12th): We started to write our own 5min Doctor Who adventures! It was actually really difficult creating our own adventures, aliens, planets and trying to make sure the characters were in character. We also got to watch a few more bits of episodes.

Tuesday Night/Wednesday Morning: My mum's friend picked me up from NIDA and I went back to her place for dinner and to get ready. She had made me the most EPIC cloak EVER!!!!!! We had a couple of hours to kill so we watched the first part of The Deathly Hallows. Then we got into our outfits (I wore a black shirt that had the Slytherin crest on it, my jeans, odd Converse, my awesome cloak, a homemade wand, a witches hat and neon purple hairspray) and headed into the city, we got to the cinema at 11:30pm and went to get our online tickets. It was INSANE!! There were people everywhere, like, hundreds of people dressed up, about 5 screens were showing HP. Almost everyone was dressed up (for all those fellow Starkids, there was even a Rumbleroar and a Ron Weasley witha blue headband!) and I was seeing it in 3D. Guess what? My 3D glasses were HP shaped! When we got into the theatre, before the movie started 2 random people started having a wizarding duel. It was epic!! By the time the movie had finished it was 3am!

Wednesday (13th): My last day at NIDA. I got to NIDA running on 4hrs sleep and some chocolate. That morning we met the actors who were in the other Doctor Who class, there were only 6 of them, they were going to act out our scripts for us. So we spent the rest of the morning finishing our scripts. Then at lunch we sat with the actors and we all ended up being really good friends. I also ended up having a coca-cola and some more chocolate to keep me awake. In the afternoon, we all went back with the actors and we were given the actors we needed (it was decided earlier that day) for about half an hour to work with and figure it out with. Then the actors performed our mini episodes that we had written and directed. It was an AMAZING 3 days and I made some brilliant friends :D I hope I'll get to see them again.

Sorry for not updating sooner. I hope you are all ok :)

I. Hate. Moving

Now, when I say moving, I don't mean putting one foot in front of the other, I mean moving house to half way across town. And that is why I haven't been able to update (Sorry!) because there is no Internet connection at the new house yet. I'm typing this in a hotel room in Sydney. My dad has come over from England so we drove the three hours up to Sydney last night and had to pick him up at some ungodly hour of the morning (his flight landed at 7:30!)
BUT there are a few other reasons I'm in Sydney.

1. NIDA (national institute of dramatic arts). My sister and I are doing a NIDA course. Hers is tomorrow and mine is the 11-13. Guess what THEY'RE DOCTOR WHO THEMED COURSES!!! I get to do script writing and using the green screen :D

2. ITS HARRY POTTER!!!! I am going to the midnight premier of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 IN SYDNEY!!!! I am sooooooooo excited! Hehehehe :P


Must be going now, hope to update more regularly now :D I'll tell you about NIDA and Harry Potter if you want :)

Fun and Hugs,

Public Speaking Speech

Hey! Remember ages ago when I said I was doing several public speaking competitions? Well, I've done them all (as far as I know anyway...) and I won the first one but didn't place in the second one. My topic was bullying and I thank everyone who helped me out with it. I thought you might like to see the finished product. I could be completely wrong and you might not care in the slightest. But I'm posting it anyway :) So, without further ado, my public speaking speech:


"Don't judge a book by it's cover" I'm sure you have all heard that statement before, but have you ever really given it much thought?

Good morning/afternoon chairperson, timekeeper and members of the audience, my topic today is bullying.

Everyday people are judged by what they look like or how they dress instead of their personality. Just because they dress differently, people tease them or stereotype them. For example, if they wear black? They're goth or emo. If they're a cheerleader? That automatically makes them a stupid ditz. It is a form of bullying.
Have you ever thought that perhaps someone wears black just because they like the colour? Or they're a cheerleader for sport instead of playing something like netball? So many people are outcast because of their religion, race, sexuality, disabilities or just because they don't wear the 'latest trend'. I think this needs to stop.

World war 2 was a good example of being an outcast and hurt just because of their religion. The Jews were sent to work hard or were executed because they they believed in something different to others. Or what about Muslims? The women cover their faces but if they go to some countries, they are forced to remove their veils. Has anyone ever thought that this may be an insult to THEIR religion?

Sexuality has been a major cause of bullying for years. Some people think it's 'wrong' to love someone of the same gender. If you're in love you're in love, right? Its not something you choose. So what's the harm in that? Just because someones gay, lesbian or bisexual it doesn't mean they don't have feelings.

Ah yes, looks. Something so many people get teased and bullied about everyday. If someones slightly overweight? They must be fat and not know what self control is. Or perhaps if they're really skinny they're anorexic. Have you ever thought about the people who starve themselves because someone called them fat even if they weren't? The people, girls most of the time but not always, who really are anorexic or bulimic as the result of bullying. Some people self-harm and starve themselves just because people say that they aren't perfect, well, NEWS FLASH nobody IS perfect.

The sad thing is, that these days, eating disorders are quite common. People are constantly called fat, or are told that they will never be pretty. But you wanna know the worst thing? After a while people start believing what others say and think that they have to change to fit in. Don't EVER change for someone else, be who you are! And if they don't like it, well too bad.

So many lives are lost each year because they were told they weren't right, whether it was because of their race, looks, religion, sexuality or so many other causes! It's all bullying in one way or another. And it NEEDS to stop.

Someone once said:
HER? The girl you just called fat? Shes been starving herself and has lost over 30 pounds. The boy you called stupid? He has a learning disability and studies over 4 hours a night. The girl you called ugly? She spends hours putting on makeup in hope that people will like her. The boy you tripped? He's abused at home. There's a lot more to peoples life than you'd ever understand. Actions speak louder than words....

School Plays, Sleepovers, Disney Movies, Nerf Guns, Trilby Hats and Fingerless Gloves

Eeeeeep! I am sooooo very very sorry for not updating!! Will you ever forgive me? *gets on knees and starts begging* So, what have I missed? It's good to see Kallista back :) if you don't mind me asking, what happened?

So, back to the title.

Well, my little sister got the lead role in the Junior School play. I swear she understudied Every. Bloody. Part. I now know all the songs and can quote half of the play. I am NOT a happy bunny. In the end though, it was a pretty good play considering it was performed by 5-8 year olds.

I've been at sleepovers for the past to weekends, so I'm gonna start with last weekend. Me and my friend (let's call her Jess (I don't know a Jess)) decided that we needed to watch all the old Disney movies, except we only had the on video. Jess has a VCR player so I went to her place and we had a Disney marathon. We watched The Lion King, Mulan, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Anastasia, The Hunchback of Notre Dame Peter Pan and Winnie the Pooh :P I fell asleep half way through The Hunchback of Notre Dame (about 10:30pm) and woke up again at 1am-ish, Jess was asleep so I started playing on her iPad. Than at about 4am Jess suddenly goes "What are you playing?" it scared the bejeebers out of me! So I said "How long have you been awake?"
"About an hour, I've been watching you" Stalker much?! See, my friends are lunatics...
Anywho, we watched another movie and fell back asleep then woke up again at about 8:30am. After breakfast we watched another movie then made BROWNIES! They were VERY yummy. Eventually I had to go home, but I had an epic time :D

So this weekend was (still is) long weekend. I was supposed to be going down the coast with my friend (lets call her Leah (i dont know a Leah either)) and her family but that got cancelled so instead, my mum, my sister and me were invited to their house for dinner and I slept over. We had an AWESOME time. We stayed up really late watching movies. We watched Tomorrow When The War Began (AMAZING movie) and Tinkerbell 2&3 (I'm such a little kid at heart :P ). I think we fell asleep at about 4am-ish. The next morning we got dressed and stuff then headed into town :) Mum had given me $50 (I know, I was shocked too) so I've been wanting a Trilby Hat for AGES, there 2 reasons for this, the first one is that in the book 'Gingersnaps' by Cathy Cassidy, the REAlLY cute (well in my imagination) musical and slightly weird guy where's one and they are so cool!. Second reason, Connor in Primeval sometimes wears one and he is so cool and still slightly geeky :P So, I bought a Trilby Hat :D In the title I say Fingerless gloves, I say that because I was wearing my awesome rock chick Fingerless gloves and mis matched converse :P A bit later, me and Leah went to the cinema, we had a great time :P.

Oh, I almost forgot! I bought a Nerf Gun!!! WOOT! It's quite small and slightly pathetic but it's a Nerf Gun non the less :DDD

Anyway, I shall not bore you any longer, must go. Hope you are all well :P the was something else I was going to say but I've forgotten so I'll let you know IF I remember :P

Love and laughs,
Jaffa xx

Anyway, must be going now

Book

I am soooooo sorry i haven't updated! I've been back from camp for almost 3 weeks now! So, this post is some exciting news that I have but first of all, in my next post, do you want me to bore you with the epic details of my camp or do you want my next post to be about whatever comes next? Anyway, the exciting news is that *drumroll*.........I'm helping write a book! Let me explain, my mums friend is writing and illustrating a kids book for charity and asked if my sister and could help because she needed to know what kids like and all that stuff. So, I get to help write it! Once I find out what it's called, I'll let you know. What I do know, is that it will only be released in America (I think...) so if you do find it once it's out, please buy it because all of the money goes to charity. I'll let you know more when I find out :)

Love and laughs,
Jaffa xx

Anyway, I'm just updating to say I probably won't be on blogsland until next Saturday or Sunday because I'm going on school camp! I'm going to Chowder Bay and Cockatoo Island in Sydney until Friday, it should be an..........interesting experience.
I found out the most epic thing today, my iPad accepts 'Hogwarts' 'Hufflepuff' 'Ravenclaw' 'Gryffindor' and 'Slytherin' as proper words, all it does it capatalize them! I don't think I could be happier :)
Hope you are all ok!

So. Freakin. Tired

Two words-THE GYM. Actually that SHOULD be why I'm tired but considering I didn't actually GO to the gym this morning that isn't the reason :P The reason is cause I went for a 6km bike ride! SIX KILOMETERS! It wouldn't have been to bad except I haven't ridden a bike for almost two years! What happened was, I was at a friends house and we were bored so I borrowed her brothers bike at we went for a bike ride. Originally we were just going to ride out to one of the parks which would have been about 2km there and back but once we got there we thought it would be fun to got to the other park so off we went! We were fine until we got to the last hill before her house, at this point we went "Stuff this, I'm not riding up that" so we kinda cheated at walked up the hill :P so right now? I'm about to fall asleep on my feet and my legs and bum hurt from sitting on the saddle for several hours :/
I'm soooo tired! So nighty night!

Love and Laughs,
Jaffa xx

P.S did I mention we didn't have drink bottles or water for the whole ride?

P.P.S I have a new email address for the blogs so if you need me just click on my profile and press email :P

P.P.P.S my seven year old sister is dancing around the lounge room singing 'Lets Get Physical' by Oliva Newton-John. I have never been more embarrassed.

Reunion

A group of us were talking on Derek's blog and we decided that one day we should all get together and meet each other. We've decided on a place and when but the more specific details will arrive later.

Where: New York or Ireland, what do you guys think? Now I've thought about it Ireland might be a good idea, so comment to let us know where!

When: in 8 years. (2019)

Also: take a picture of yourself at this age so when we meet we can show each other what we looked like when we first became friends :)

I know it sounds a bit stupid and vague but I think we should do it. Finally meet the people we've come to love talking to :) So start saving and comment if you want to be part of the reunion!

Love and laughs,

20. What would you call your first child? Give a boy and girl name.

Hmm, for a girl it would probably be Amelia or Rose and for a boy, either Josh or Will

MORE RANDOM AND SOMETIMES FUNNY STUFF! (some of the stuff might not completely make sense but that is just cause I took stuff from different places so just go with it! :])

I am the girl...

that doesn't go to school dances, and when I do go, I sit in a corner and read a book.

I am the girl that people look through when I say something.

I am the girl that spends most of her free time reading, writing, or doing other activities that most teenagers wouldn't call normal.

I am the girl that people call weird, and a freak either behind my back or to my face.

I am the girl that doesn't spend all her time on MySpace, or talking to a girlfriend on a cellphone or regular phone.

I am the girl that hasn't been asked out in a year. (Ok, so that one doesn't exactly apply to me anymore)

I am the girl that has stopped to smell the flowers and jump and splash in the rain.

But I am also the girl who knows and is proud to be who she is, doesn't care if people call her weird (it's a compliment), who loves reading and writing and doing the things that no one seems to have the time to do any more, who loves and is obsessed with Anime and Books,
who can express herself better with words, and knows the importance of the little things.

A good friend has never seen you cry. A best friend won't tell anyone else that you cried...just laugh about it in private with you when you aren't down anymore.

A good friend asks you to write down your number. A best friend has you on speed dial.

A good friend knows a few things about you. A best friend could write a very embarrassing biography on your life story.

-Flying is simple. Just throw yourself at the ground and miss.

-Two things are infinite; the universe, and human stupidity... not so sure about the universe.

-Yes, I'm weird. No, I don't care."



If you ever wondered why the world is round, and not shaped like a octagon, you may be insane.

If you ever drew you favorite book or TV characters with heads bigger than even the BIGGEST ego and brain could have fit in and it still be to big, you may be insane.

If you have your favorite book characters in your head, and they TALK to you, you may be insane. (yes, Skulduggery Pleasant. It was quite a good conversation actually)

If you show any of these signs, hide from your counselor, they can take away your powers.

OK, IM ACTUALLY GONNA GO TO SLEEP NOW SO GOODNIGHT WORLD!!!!

Horse Riding

Ok, this is just a quick update but I only just remembered this.
So the other day I had my horse riding lesson and I realised that where I have horse riding is on this giant estate thing and there's like this giant manor house thing that they give tours around. The other day I realized that it looks EXACTLY like how I imagined Elysium Asylum!
Weird or what? While I was riding I kept imagining all the adventures that we could have made happen there :)
Anyway, just thought you might want to know that :P

Lots of Love

Sorrysorrysorrysorrysorry

I am sooo sorry that I haven't updated for so long. The Internet crashed and the stupid people who are supposed to fix it took FOREVER! I mean seriously, the Internet only started working about half an hour ago! Anyway, in the time that has passed with no Internet HEAPS has happened. On the plus side though, im on easter holidays now so i have more time to write fanfiction! I cant even remember most of what has happend, but this is what I DO remember:

French test-Last week we had an end of term French test and I got 99 out of 100, so I was VERY proud of myself :)

Public Speaking-You may remember me mentioning the public speaking competition and my topic was bullying, well guess what? ................I WON! Yup, I got 1st place :P thank you to everyone who helped me!
This is what my speech was:

""Don't judge a book by it's cover" I'm sure you have all heard that statement before, but have you ever really given it much thought?

Good morning/afternoon chairperson, timekeeper and members of the audience, my topic today is bullying.

Everyday people are judged by what they look like or how they dress instead of their personality. Just because they dress differently, people tease them or stereotype them. For example, if they wear black? They're goth or emo. If they're a cheerleader? That automatically makes them a stupid ditz. It is a form of bullying.
Have you ever thought that perhaps someone wears black just because they like the colour? Or they're a cheerleader for sport instead of playing something like netball? So many people are outcast because of their religion, race, sexuality, disabilities or just because they don't wear the 'latest trend'. I think this needs to stop.

World war 2 was a good example of being an outcast and hurt just because of their religion. The Jews were sent to work hard or were executed because they they believed in something different to others. Or what about Muslims? The women cover their faces but if they go to some countries, they are forced to remove their veils. Has anyone ever thought that this may be an insult to THEIR religion?

Sexuality has been a major cause of bullying for years. Some people think it's 'wrong' to love someone of the same gender. If you're in love you're in love, right? Its not something you choose. So what's the harm in that? Just because someones gay, lesbian or bisexual it doesn't mean they don't have feelings.

Ah yes, looks. Something so many people get teased and bullied about everyday. If someones slightly overweight? They must be fat and not know what self control is. Or perhaps if they're really skinny they're anorexic. Have you ever thought about the people who starve themselves because someone called them fat even if they weren't? The people, girls most of the time but not always, who really are anorexic or bulimic as the result of bullying. Some people self-harm and starve themselves just because people say that they aren't perfect, well, NEWS FLASH nobody IS perfect.

The sad thing is, that these days, eating disorders are quite common. People are constantly called fat, or are told that they will never be pretty. But you wanna know the worst thing? After a while people start believing what others say and think that they have to change to fit in. Don't EVER change for someone else, be who you are! And if they don't like it, well too bad.

So many lives are lost each year because they were told they weren't right, whether it was because of their race, looks, religion, sexuality or so many other causes! It's all bullying in one way or another. And it NEEDS to stop.

Someone once said:
HER? The girl you just called fat? Shes been starving herself and has lost over 30 pounds. The boy you called stupid? He has a learning disability and studies over 4 hours a night. The girl you called ugly? She spends hours putting on makeup in hope that people will like her. The boy you tripped? He's abused at home. There's a lot more to peoples life than you'd ever understand. Actions speak louder than words...."

What do you think? I have to say that speech at another public speaking competition next month so wish me luck!

Netball-This weekend I had to play 2 games of netball because the older team needed an extra couple of players. In my first game we played really well but I almost passed out on the court. I have no idea what happened but in the end I sat the next quarter off but I was still hot right but my friends mum is a nurse so she said that I probably needed to boost my sugar levels so my mum went and bought me a sports drink and a packet of sweets :) I went on for the next quarter and was fine. Unfortunately we lost that game but then I had to go play for the older team immediately afterward. By the end of the second game I almost passed out again! I have no clue what happened to me but I'm alright now :P we won the second game which was good so in the end I had a quite eventful Saturday.

Now-Well, luckily my sister has gone on a horse camp and won't be back until tomorrow night so I get 2 full days with my mum! As an added bonus the internet is working again so I can talk to you people!! YAY!

I know I've missed stuff but I'll fill that in if I remember :P I promise, I'm working on my fanfic and it shall be posted soon!

Lots of love,
Jaffa xx

Semi finals and tears

Unfortunately we lost the semi finals (and no that has nothing to do with the word 'tears' in the title) but we all did wel, so great job team!
I'm kinda pissed off right now though, so I'm gonna rant and swear and yell and tell you all how suckish my life is in the next few paragraphs so you don't have to read if you don't want to.

It all started at the end of basketball we'd all congratulated each other and gone our separate ways. In the car my sister says "Didnt Grace (i changed the name of one of my teamates) play so well? She was awesome, did you see her?" sorry if I got a little pissed off at that but she hadn't even said well done to me or even 'good try' I was also slightly annoyed at my mum and sister cause earlier this week my sister got the lead role in the play they are performing and mum was saying how great that was and all that praise and stuff. I usually wouldn't have minded but this week I got a good school report, had my immunization needles, played in the semi finals AND had a great first game of netball. But did I get very much praise for that? No, it was all about how great my sister is. I'M SICK OF IT!!! All the time everyone tells me that she's such a little angel and that she's so fantastic. I know I probably just sound like a jealous sister BUT I AM. When my sister is around it's all about HER. Anyway, I doubt anyone read this, but I just needed to type how frustrated i am! So thats why I'm typing this in tears.

Lots of love

Pizza Parties and Needles

WOOHOO! My basketball team made it to the semi-finals! On Tuesday all of the junior basketball teams had a pizza party and we got to miss fifteen minutes of Maths! It was really cool cause there were 22 pizzas and lollies and we all got a can of fizzy drink each, it was brilliant
:P wish me luck because the semis are tomorrow night! Ok, so in the heading I said needles, let me explain. Today we had to have immunization injections, most of the girls were complaining about how much it hurt, it barely hurt at all :P On the plus side, we got to leave netball training 20mins early to watch a rugby game because some people from a school in Canada are staying for a week. It was really good cause we got to watch a heap of fit boys run around, lol. Hope everyone is well.

Lots of love
Jaffa xx

P.S. I'm working on the next bit of my fanfic, promise!

Blue Day, Basketball, Colonial Day, Sick Days, Ninjas, More Basketball, Netball, Shopping and JAFFACAKES!!!

I'm sorry, I know I haven't updated properly for a while, please don't hit me!
Ok, I'm gonna do this in little sections cause otherwise it will be too tedious and long to read.

Let's start off with,
Blue Day: So this took place last Friday. What happened was to raise money for the worlds
greatest shave and cancer research, everyone had to come to school wearing mufty
clothes but we had to wear at least one blue item of clothing and give a gold coin
donation. Then later on in the day they sold bandannas and fizzy drinks to raise
money, and some of the teachers shaved their heads!

Basketball: Yeah, yeah, I know I post about basketball a lot but I don't really have a life :P
This basketball game went really well, I managed to get in a fair few baskets and
so did my friend. I also managed to get in both free shots! So I was VERY proud of
myself. It was actually a pretty good game.

Colonial Day: Well, at this big estate house type thingy they had this event called 'Colonial
Day' it was where you could come dressed up (or not) as someone from colonial
times and do different activities and buy stuff. I had to go because my music
class had to take turns to perform in groups through out the day. It wasn't too
bad, there was a live gun demonstration and I got to do archery which was
AWESOME! It turned out to be a pretty good day.

Sick Days: On Tuesday I wasn't feeling too well so I got to stay home from school! I ended up
staying off school on Tuesday and Wednesday, at first it was alright but the I got
EXTREMELY bored. Who would have thought I'd miss going to school? Anyway, I'm
feeling much better but I'm still a little stuffy :P

Ninjas: In Japanese class we had to present a slide show on something to do with japan, like
history or clothing, or architecture or food or something like that. I did NINJAS! I
mean seriously, Ninjas are EPIC! I think my teacher was quite impressed. :)

More Basketball: Hehe, more basketball. Our game went well, we won by quite a lot which was
good AND we're in the semi-finals!! *does some celebratory disco dancing*
there were a couple of girls who annoyed me but that's about it. When our
game finished we went and watched the boys game and we even got to help keep
score!

Netball: WOOT! It's netball season again! I love playing netball so it was great to be back on
the court. Unfortunately, this year I had a completely different team but for our
first game together we did pretty well, especially since we were up against year
eights and nines and our team are all year sevens. We didn't win but we weren't
flogged which was good. I can't wait until our next game!

Shopping: While I was at netball, my sister went to a friends house so after my game finished
me and my mum went and got some lunch together then went into town. Usually I don't
really like shopping for clothes or shoes or stuff like that but I ended up having
heaps of fun! Mum bought me 2 new t-shirts, some black and purple skate shoes (well,
they're kind of like skate shoes) and ....................A PAIR OF MULTI COLOURED
CONVERSE! (actually they're converse knock offs but they're still awesome.)

JAFFACAKES!: On the way back to the car after shopping, we stopped it the food shop and as a
special treat mum bought us some JAFFACAKES! They were soooo yummy!
Best.Treat.Ever.

Well, that's about it for now!

Quick update

SORRY! I know it's been AGES since I updated, I've been sooooo busy!
Anyway, this isn't a proper post, I just need help from anyone willing to contribute.
In class, I have to write a speech for public speaking, my topic is bullying.
I was just wondering if any of you or your friends have been bullied or anything like that
I was hoping you could share some information with me. I've decided to write my speech in a
victims POV, this time I'm not trying to win, I just want to get the message of how much damaging bullying can do and what it feels like. If any of you wish to hel me then that would be fantastic, just leave your story/idea in the comments.

Lots of love

Basketball and Boys

Played basketball again this week. We got absolutely flogged. Isn't that great? Anyway, winning's not everything and we played our best so I can't complain. There weren't any annoying girls this week, thank goodness! Now, despite how you might interpret the title (especially you girls) I'll tell you now that it doesn't involve cute boys (well, maybe. But that's not what I mean) or dates or boy stalking or anything along those lines. What REALLY happened was, after our game (the girls team) we were sitting down catching our breath when some of the boys from our class asked if any of us would play in their game because they were 2 players down. At first we were reluctant because they are much better players than us but in the end we took turns to sub on. I was only supposed to go on once but one of the boys got injured so I got to go back on. In the end we smashed the other team (not literally of course but there were a couple of the opposition I was close to beating up) It was quite funny though
Because they boy I was defending was half the size of me so when I got the ball he couldn't reach it at all :P Well, that's about all. Nothing exciting has really happened this week but I'll tell you about it if something comes up!

SP fanfic part 2

I will try to make this longer but no promises :P

She was sure she had lost them. Resting for a few moments, she sat down and stared at the stars. She was hoping to reach Elysium Asylum by tonight. Getting up once again she started off towards shelter and hopefully some decent food.

After several more hours of walking in the rain she finally reach Elysium Asylum. Any mortal would not notice, let alone find it odd, that there was a gardener watering an empty field in the middle of a storm. When she saw this, she knew she had made it. As soon as she walked through the forcefield she saw the mansion and it was amazing. Way to tired to really take everything in she just stepped in the doors hoping to find someone to show her a room.

She turned to the left and saw a seemingly young girl who didn't look much older than herself slide down the stair banister, do a front flip and land neatly in front of her.
"Hi, I'm Kallista Pendragon, who are you?" the mysterious girl said brightly.
"I'm Jaffa Morbid" she replied.
"Nice to meet you Miss Morbid" Kallista said politely.
"Just call me Jaffa" she said with a weak smile "I'd love to stay and chat but can you please tell me where I can find a room?" Jaffa said quietly
"Of course!" Kallista smiled enthusiastically "You can stay in the room across from mine!"
"Cool!" Jaffa replied a bit more brightly, some of Kallista's enthusiasm was rubbing off on her. For the first time Kallista noticed Jaffa was soaking wet.
"You're drenched!" Kallista exclaimed.
"Yeah" Jaffa laughed back "Thanks for noticing" both of the girls started laughing at this until some grumpy old codger poked his head out of his room and told them to shut up then threw a shoe at them. Which in turn just made them burst into a fresh fit of giggles.
"I'll explain tomorrow" Jaffa said once the giggles had subsided. Kallista led her back up the staircase and through many winding corridors and eventually pushed open a door to a very large
room.
"It's amazing!" Jaffa whispered in awe. Kallista just chuckled and Jaffa's expression.
"My room is just across if you need me. Maybe tomorrow I could give you a tour?"
Jaffa smiled "I would love that thank you Kallista. See you in the morning!"
With a quick wave Kallista exited and Jaffa had a shower, put on some pjs shed found in the closet and crawled into bed, for once in her life, she had a friend.

SP Fanfiction

I'm writing this on my iPad so please excuse me if some stuff doesn't sound/look right. Also, I have just started reading the Hunger Games trilogy. They are AMAZING! I highly suggest you read them, they are a fantastic read. Anyway, on with the fanfiction!

Her clothes were soaked but the rain hurtled down relentless and unforgiving making her dark hair stick to her pale face. The twigs snapped loudly as her feet pounded against the ground. Fatigue was starting to set in, she'd been running non-stop for hours now because she knew that if she paused for even the slightest amount of time, she knew she would be a goner.
There was one place she could only hope she would be excepted, Elysium Asylum. The only question was whether she could make it.

I know, i know it was short. I just wanted your opinion on whether I should continue or not.

Basketball

Hello peoples, I am updating once again.
First of all, just a quick note, I will not be starting my new fanfic just yet because my laptop died and it's hard to type a whole story on my iPad but I DO know the story line.

Well, my topic on this post is Basketball, mostly I just wanted to say that I had a totally lovely, kind and sweet (sarcasm) girl as my defender/attacker, I came VERY close to hitting her. Unfortunately we lost the game but I managed to score two baskets (is that what you call it in basketball?) which I'm EXTREMELY proud of :)

Finally I ask a request from you all, just think, pray (if you're religious) and keep in your hopes for all those affected by natural disasters and accidents. Please, that is all I ask.

Lots of love,
Jaffa xx

Stuff that no one really cares about

Wow, second post in only a few hours! Aren't I fantastic? Yep, I knew you would agree. Anyway, this is just a list of songs I really like at the moment, I suggest you listen to them

F***ing Perfect-P!nk (there is a clean version of it without any swearing in it)
What the Hell-Avril Lavigne
Firework-Katy Perry
Better Than Revenge-Taylor Swift
Grenade-Bruno Mars
We R Who We R-Ke$ha
Waka Waka-Shakira
Mean-Taylor Swift
Raise Your Glass-P!nk
Forget You-Cee Lo Green (I personally prefer the Glee cover)
I'd Lie-Taylor Swift
I Gotta Feeling-Black Eyed Peas

(P.S. Kallista, if you read this, I'm sorry, but I did it again. I'd had a terrible day and my mum was at work. I'm truly ashamed)

World Affairs

I was reading Derek Landy's latest post and I feel incredibly guilty about taking advantage of what I have. All I wish to say is that I hope all those affected by earthquakes, fires, floods and all those other disasters will be ok. In hindsight I would like your opinion on something, instead of chatting on Derek Landy's blog (except for the absolute necessary, of course) I will start a new blog just so we can chat, tell me if you think I should.

Compliments and Smiles

In health class today we had to get some paper and write an anonymous compliment for everyone in the class. We have 18 people in the class so we got 17 slips of paper each and wrote one compliment for everyone. After we had handed them out we got to read our own. I figured out who some of the messages were from but i don't think that some of the boys really understood what a compliment acctually is. These are what a couple of the random one's that I recieved said:

Your tie is nice. (FYI, all the girls have the same tie)

Smart (Written by a boy. you were supposed to write a sentance)

Cool (Also written by a boy)

and my personal favourite

I don't know what to say.

Now here are a few of the ones that made me smile (I substituted my real name with Jaffa)

You are a nice and fun girl (i know who wrote that and suprisingly it was a boy)

Jaffa has a great sense of humour and defines differences to help out.

I love how you are intersted in books and have a wide imagination

Well, there you have it. Some compliments that made me smile and made me laugh.
I leave you with a random sentance
If life gives you LIMES rearrange them to spell SMILE

Happy Valentines Day!

Ah, Valentines Day, the day when you can tell who's single and who's loved. Unfortunately i'm put in the SINGLE column. At school you could buy cupcakes for your Valentine, guess who didn't get one? That's right.........................ME! Anyway all I wanted to say is I hope you have a Happy Valentines Day and even if you don't have a Valentine this year, there is someone out there for you and you'll meet them eventually.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO ALL!!!

Twisted ankles and forced public speeches

I type this while sitting with a strapped up ankle and wearing blue facepaint.
So, you wanna know how all this happend? Well too bad if you don't, cause i'm gonna tell you anyway!

It all started on Monday at roll call. So at the beggining of each year we have this thing called the Commencement Day Service and the WHOLE school is there. Anyway, at roll call one of the teacher's said they needed 2 yr7's to speak at the service. No one volunteered so we all went off to class. Just before class started one of the teacher's found me and asked if I would be one of the speakers along with one of the boys because apparently i'd be perfect for the job. Of course I couldn't say no so i had to have a small speech ready for Wednesday. Oh the joy! (sarcasm in case you didn't catch that)

Tuesday: We had this thing called Enrichment Day so we didn't really have any proper classes. We were put in groups and we have to make magazine's. I got stuck in an alright group but we didn't really get much done. Apparently we'll have some more enrichment days so this could turn out to be quite interesting. I also made a new friend and she's sooo sweet. She got a music scholarship so at lunch that day she had to join the choir along with two of the yr7 boys who also got scholarships. You didn't need a scholarship to join the choir and she would've been the only yr7 girl do i said I would do it with her. It turned out to be quite a laugh and HEAPS of fun.

Wednesday: The day of the dreaded Commencement service. I ended up writing my speech on the bus on the way to school :P I sat there whilst we went through all of the usual stuff but then it was my turn to speak :O it went quite well and i managed not to stutter! Surprisingly, it was over quite quickly and we headed to class. During lunch I joined the orchestra which was cool. Nothing else really happend for the rest of the day.

Thursday: Nothing majorly exciting happend today. I found out I was swimming in the inter-house swimming carnival! That is NOT a good thing. I am now part of the under 13's school basketball team. I didn't really want to do basketball last year so I did softball but one of the girls on the basketball team left and they didn't have any reserves so they begged me to join. My first game's on Friday as is the swimming carnival.

Friday: This was probably the most exicting day of the week. We had normal classes until lunch time. In Science we got to heat magnesium! it was AWESOME! Anyway, at lunch we got changed into our sports clothes with our house shirts. I'm in the blue house called Long so i had a light blue shirt. So me and a couple of my friends who were also in Long painted our nails blue, got blue hairspray put on and had blue zinc put all over us, it was REALLY fun! When the carnival started we all stood and cheered for our teams. After about the first 2 races i slipped on this hill and hurt my ankle. I tried to walk it off but after 10mins it was still hurting so my friend took me to the clinic (the nurses office) to get some ice but no one was up there so we came back, after another 20mins it was still hurting so we went back but still no one was there. After about 30 more mins it STILL hurt so we went back up again, at the same time one of my other friends felt really sick and dizzy so we went up together. Luckily someone was up there so my friend was told to lie on one of the beds and i had to sit on a chair with my ankle propped up while i held ice on it. After about 30mins up in the clinic she strapped up my ankle and i went back down. Even though I wasn't planning it, i got to skip the race. At about 5:30pm the carnival finished (my team won! YAY!) but then I had to go straight to basketball, my ankle was a bit better so I played. i had never trained or played basketball before so it was an interesting expirience, my team won it was quite funny because we all had facepaint on us from the carnival! My ankle hurt afterwards but I'll survive :P

So that's what happened this week at school. Now I'm going to go and wash the paint off my face, have some panadol and climb into my lovely bed.

GOODNIGHT TO ALL!!

Just Wondering

Ok, so if you've read my profile you'll see that I've been to 22 countries. I have my scrapbooks and stuff that reminds me about all the stuff we did and where we went. So I was wondering if you wanted me to tell you about my travels. I would still update with my usual stuff but I could also post about the different places I've been and what I've seen. Comment and let me know if you want me to or not.

Queensland Flooding

You might have heard that Queensland has had so much rain there has been major flooding. I mean MASSIVE floods, cars and houses have been swept away and 10 people have died with almost 90 people missing. The only reason I am posting this is to ask that you keep them in your thoughts and prayers, these people need all the help they can get.

Evil

Jade Rebel combed her long, midnight hair into a plait. Her father had given her a mission: kill Jaffa Morbid. If she succeeded she would finally be accepted into the Circle of Shadows just like her father. She was sixteen, she could easily take out a twelve year old and her group of helpers especially if she had her group of helpers.  She placed a dagger in her belt just in case someone got a bit too close then pulled out her mobile phone and made a quick call. Within a few minutes a car had arrived to collect her and she was on her way to meet her army. Whilst sitting in the car she pondered about what she was going to do. Today is the day that I kill Jaffa Morbid!

THE GYM

THE GYM - Two words I thought could never cause me so much pain, let me explain. A few days ago when Mum went to the gym for Body Pump (the day we did the spontaneous beach visit) she had gone with a friend who's daughter is one of my good friends (Alex). So Alex's mum was trying to get her to go to Body Pump with them so she said that she'd go if I went. So this morning we got up at 6am for the class at 6:30am, Alex's mum, my mum, Alex and me went to the gym. We had to lift weights and do push ups and all that kind of stuff so now all my muscles REALLY hurt. Tomorrow I'm going back to the gym with Alex and her mum to do Zumba whilst my mum does another class. Going to the gym is good but PAINFUL.

Spontaneous trip to the beach!

Ok, so on Friday, I'm just sitting here peacefully when all of a sudden my mum comes bursting in the front door after the gym and announces "Let's go to the beach!" so I said "Which beach?" so she says "Manly beach, it just seems like a nice day to go to the beach" I suppose I should tell you that Manly beach is 3 hours away. By this time it was about 8am, so we got dressed and got in the car and off we went! When we got there we found the best sweet shop, it had all British chocolate!!! Then we went and had breakfast at Max Brenna's (a very yummy chocolate cafe) then headed to the beach! I sat on the beach and read SP Dark Days while listening to my ipod. I would have gone in the water but there were heaps of Bluebottles (jellyfish that are potentially very painful) We didn't end up getting home until about 10:30pm! We had a great time but now there is sand all through the house, including my bed. Also, sand sticks to everything, why? it is absolutely pointless! What do you think?
