60% of Queensland is under water and half of is victoria on fire, what is going on with our country.

173 people are dead due to fires that were purposely lit.

I'm not sure on the death toll is for the floods.

:( Black, black days.

The fires have left a wake that looks more like a warzone and less like a place where a fire ripped through.

I've got friends down there, friends who have almost lost their homes, have lost their homes. I know friends who have had friends perish in the inferno.

I'm not a religious person at all but I can't help but to ask you all to say a prayer and keep these people who had lost and will lose more in your thoughts.

I learned a new thing about live journal today.

that is all.

Well.. I am very sorry for up and vanishing on you all. xDD

I just got really busy with life and am catching up on all my LJ stuff now, while I'm supposed to be doing computers work at school. ^-^

My life at the moment...hmm...how does one describe it?

A clever, unromantic mix of angst, maternal joy and stress LOL.

School and people at school and boys have me angsting as per usual. I'm always like that though. I'm just waiting for the garden that always seems to come into my dreams when I'm angsting. Haha. Plus one of my so called "best friends" is like.. in love with my younger sister. Not only do I think that's wrong but he's a perverted bastard. *sigh*

Maternal because one of the dogs had her babies and they are so damn adorable and cute. <3 There were 4 born last friday, sired by my Hugo and out of my red and white papillon bitch Rosalie. We got a rainbow of colors. 3 dogs who are Tri-colored, Lemon and White and Sable and White. The only girl is sable and white. They are very fat and very happy. I often see their little tails wagging. They've all almost doubled thier birthweights.

Stress. Well that's easy. One word for you. School. ^-^ As per usual just worried about it in general. Seem to be tracking alright across my subjects so I'm not too worried. My art major work is troubling me though -.-;;;;

<3 signing off.

Well, I have a friend here for new years and I decided a few days ago that now would be the best time to pratice my skills for my Higher School Certificate Major Artwork.

I'm going to do photography, even better if I can learn how to do night photography as soon as possible. So my friend and I have just spent the last hour and a half out in the backyard playing with torch lighting, moving cars etc and I haven't really made any progress what so ever.

Suppose the start is slow. I can hope that I will get better in time. Haha.

Today was a good day, I went shopping and got.

2 x new denim skirts
2x new shorts.
6x new t-shirts
1 x new bra.

It was all in all a good day well spent. However now I am poor and have no money left and I am supposed to go to the movies twice next month (which is really only in a scant 2 hours and 8 minutes) oh the woes of being a teenage girl and having no money.

I'm also a little peeved because almost single handedly I managed to use up ou 10gig bandwidth of downloads for the month. :S Possibly not a good thing. Even worse this using up the internet downloads before the end of the months is become a regular occurence.

*sigh*

Happy New Years to all :D

New years is barely 2 days away, and I'm sitting here thinking on New Years resolutions. In my whole 17 years of living a breathing i've never had new years resolutions and I thought to myself. Well here was my chance to start.

New years resolutions can be anything, anything at all and I've been thinking about it for the past hour or so and wondering what it is I want to get out of such resolutions.  I could plan to lose some weight (not that I am fat or anything), I could plan to do better in school, i could become a better person, i could help more around the house. There are so many possibilities that I could have for a new years resolution and I know that there is plenty of things that I could add to that list.

so here are my New Years Resolutions.

1. No more procrastination at all. I get distracted easily enough so I'm going to aim to eliminate all procrastination from my life.
2. Help mum more in everything. Be that cleaning the house, not fighting with my siblings, not fighting with her, doing everything i'm asked etcetra I'm going to help her.
3. School. Strive to do well. That's all I'm going to say on this one.
4. Writing. Write something at least once a month.

And that's it. Those are all pretty big asks anyways so i hope I have the self-will to adhere to my new years resolutions.

Well hey there everyone.

Here goes my first attempt at a Livejournal. Oh the shock horror!

So what would you like to know?

 Who am I you ask? I'm a 17 year old girl. I live in a small, small town that no one has heard of and go to a school with around 280 people at a guess. I'm in 12th grade and am scared out of my wits that I finish school next year.   I'm a dreamer, far too opinionated for my own good. I can be nasty, nice and I'm generally rather two faced. Being two-faced is a coping mechanism. I was bullied from the word go at school and it was only in 2006 that I really stopped getting bullied. It's been character building alright. It's thanks to that though that I have the best friends I could ever have in the world. It's thanks to them I'm here today.

I love dogs. I am a dog person through and through. I absolutly adore all the dogs I meet. I love my papillon "Hugo", my chihuahua's "Jet and Edward" and my standard poodle "Josephine".  All of my dogs are show dogs and if I'm not at home on a weekend that's where I can usually be found. In 2006 I was my state's Junior Handler representative and then was 2nd in the National Final. I am one of the only country kids to have ever, ever been awarded so highly.

My other passion is writing in all shapes and forms. I am an avid consumer of Fanfiction and have penned quite a few stories both of my own and for various fandoms over the past 5 years. I have been writing longer, I found the books I used to write my stories in from when I was 7.

So  Live Journal...here I am!
