What is up with the football craze in Australia? As a person who utterly hates sport, I think it's natural that I don't understand what exactly is so great about it. Everyone is talking about the draw last weekend..facebook groups, online discussions, all over TV..but really, what's the big deal? And honestly, how does talking and posting about it constantly help the situation at all? Answer-it doesn't. The people who create groups about it on facebook are merely searching for attention, trying to get as many 'fans', 'likes' or 'members' as possible, and the programs regarding it on TV are merely trying to get money from the sad people who care about it enough to hear about it, read about it, and watch it over, and over, and over again! There is so much more out there to do throughout the week, whilst waiting for the second 2010 AFL frand final, besides watching the first 2010 AFL grand final. Read a book, go shopping (my favourite activity..other than acting), go out with friends, something..anything that doesn't involve re-living something that happened in the past week..or..if you like..something that happened back in 1977! And if you're wondering how I know that..no I'm not one of the people sitting back a re-living it..I'm merely one of the poor people who have had to hear about it constantly from a friend or family member.
Apparently "I'm now a man" and "Men like football, son!"
If I wanted to watch a group of men running around flinging balls everywhere, I'd just go to a gay bar!
Pheu, end of rant.
Coming of Age-18 And Fabulous

Skinny..And Other.
How skinny is "too skinny"?
I weigh 62kg and want to be 60, and my friends seem to have issues with this. Yes, I've heard it all; "It's unhealthy" "You'll look sick" "You'll have no ass!"
But really, it's two kilograms, what's the problem?
Of course I've been told certain reasons why I shouldn't-for example; Pippa once said to me "My mum had Anorexia when she was my age, and she said if you get really skinny she's going to slap you." and Caitlyn goes into detail about her issues with it, but I repeat..2 Kilo's.
I'm 18, I want to go out and have fun whilst looking good! Which I'll be able to do (and actually believe) once I weigh 60! And it's not even that big of a deal, my BMI tells me that I'll still be healthy, so there.
I've been told that I'm worse than our friend, Farrel. He's 15, and he is the most negative person that I have ever met (well one of). Constantly complaining about his weight, and judging overweight people as he see's them, I don't want to be like him, and honestly I don't think I am like him. I just don't know. I just wish people would accept that I only want to lose two more kilograms.
On another note;
Trying to find a balance between the 'fun' 18 life that I want to have, and my school life is proving difficult. I do know that study is necessary, but the nights of fun partying, getting trashed and dancing til my feet hurt just pop into my head, so that these things are all that I want to do. Selina's got the right balance-going out most weekends yet still managing to excell in school, maybe someday I will learn how to do that. Also, I guess with all the shit I'm going through with Kirby and other issues, it's hard for me to just really focus. These issues however, are best left for another blog.
If anyone is reading these entries and finds them boring..just remember-I'm currently on holiday and 4 hours away from my friends! But next week, oh next week we'll be back at school for our last 3 weeks of classes, and I'll have all the fun moments of being 18 and fabulous to write about.
If you're desperate to follow my social life..then add me on facebook =D

18 and Fabulous.
Becoming a legal adult is the beginning of a new life. It is the close of the past and an opening of a brand new era.
Since turning 18 three months ago, there are a few things that I have learned:
1. You cannot do "whatever you want".
2. Your parents still have control over you.
3. It can not be all fun all of the time.
4. You still have to work hard in school.
5. Unless you have a good job and good money, you cannot "move out and live the good life"
6. You're less likely to be "bailed out" of situations, as you are now your own responsibility.
Aside from the negatives within that lists, since my birthday I have been able to have alot of fun, and this is mainly due to a select few of my best friends..beginning with Caitlyn.
Caitlyn..being my best friend, has been with me through alot. She's helped me through the dark stages of depression, friendship drama's, family drama's..and every other drama that I've had in the past 4 years..and that's alot! She is the most welcoming and accepting person I've even met and I love her more than I've ever loved anyone. As a friend of course.
Where to start with Pippa? She's also been with me through many things, and I have been right beside her during her many relationship drama's. She is my party, fashion, and drinking buddy (if ever we get the chance to do those things together) and I can't imagine what my life would be without her.
Thirdly..we have Natalie. The blunt friend who'll tell it like it is, but also be there to listen and will always offer hugs. Even when distracted by other situations in her life, she's a great friend, and is great to have joint venting sessions with =D
These are only three of my greatest friends, but through my future blog entries, I'm sure you'll meet all the others, such as;
Emily
Erynn
Nick
Shianne
Hayden
Georgia H
Georgia C (Gee)
Selina
Catrin
Kirby
And many many others who I cbf typing out..
I hope that through this blog, readers will be able to relate to/share my and my friends' issues, drama's and happy etc moments. But this won't be in this blog, as I wanted to focus this one on a sort of introduction.
Add me on faebook, twitter, and formspring??
