YAHOO!!!

YAY!!! I am now officially a blue belt in karate!!!! I had my grading last Sunday...... it was really, really, awesome. And tiring. By the time I got to sparring the only thought that was keeping me going was 'this is the last thing...' but I got through, and here I am!! only one more belt after this, and then I'll be brown! and only a couple of stripes on that, and I'll be black!!! I always think that way......... :P I had a really, really embarrasing moment........ it was at the handing of certificates at the end, and I was kinf of in auto-pilot...... you know, I was tired, I was totally sick of sparring and everything involving moving from where I stood. When they announce your name (which means that you graded) at a grading, you're supposed to say 'Hai' which means 'Yes' in Japanese. They called out my name, and me, being me, started to say 'Hello'.............. one of the worst moments at karate classes....

Soo......... I tried a new design for this blog! Please tell me if you like it! The only thing is it doesn't really look like.... rain...... especially as the blog header says 'Those who say happiness comes with sunshine have never danced in the rain'..... oh well.!

Lastly...... two important things for fashion and hilarious photo shoots!

1.Wear a top hat. Always. Everywhere. If you don't have one..... poor deprived child.

2.Wear sunglasses with the afore-mentioned top hat. Look at the above photo for details.......

Once Upon A Time.....

Once upon a time is always such a cozy beginning. It makes you think of bedside stories, cozy mugs of hot chocolate by the fire, blanket and hugs, does it not? It does for me. But now, you rarely see 'Once Upon A Time' as a beginning for a story. I suppose our world seems to think it's outgrown fairytales. Actually, that's an interesting idea. 'The World's Outgrown Fairytales..' Can you see that as a headline for a newspaper? Oh well... instead of our custom ones, we have 'Iron Man' Eclipse'.... I guess they're sort of our substitutes for Cinderella and such. Oh well, I'll stop my rambling.......

IT'S HOLIDAYS!!!!!!!!

YAY!!!!!!!! School holidays have come at LAST!!!!! After sitting at your desk for the last eleven weeks, we finally get a two week break!two week break = Heaven. =Sleeping in. = Not doing schoolwork. = eating chocolate. (hmm.. maybe) = dancing in the rain. = doing all the crazy things you reserve til vacation. Also, holidays equal writing more on my long-planned book, Snowcapped Sunrise.... Word, here I come! *evil grin* Holidays also equal staying up late without your parents nagging at you to go to bed..... sometimes. Or just reading in bed til the late hours of the night. ;)

tired,tired, tired....

I am sooo tired. And cold. But I think I've already mentioned that. Anyway, here I am, sitting at the computer (which is kind of obvious) and wearing the fleeciest, warmest jacket I can find. Incidentally, this jacket is AMERICAN! It comes from Thomas Aquinas College in California! (Just needed to announce that to the whole world) As I was saying, I'm sitting at the computer and wearing my jacket, etc., but I'm feeling incredibly tired. It's turning cold and I'm veddy tired. And I'b god a cold. (I love complaining, don't I?) Winter is sort of a time for tiredness for me. You see, there's no glistening, shining new snow here. Not to say that snow doesn't turn ugly (I saw the teeniest bit, once) but it would be soo cool.... people would be like WHOA! IT'S SNOWING IN ADELAIDE! COME TO ADELAIDE! They wouldn't really.... but it's fun to dream, isn't it? Anyway, enough about my tiredness..... I'm trying a new layout and pic and all sorts of things. How do you like it? (feedback appreciated) I actually couldn't find a background of rain...,. thilly backgrounds. I had to settle with plain blue. ;D
