Well shit, I haven't posted here in a fucking age. And yes I feel like swearing today, fuck you. :D

UMMM. Yeah the last entry was a lie. I never did end up uploading shit tons of photos, I can't be bothered. Maybe some day.
On a muchmuch lighter note, tomorrow I'm going out to get some kitten stuff! I get my baby on Friday, I can't wait. <3
Also spoke to Ricky last night, which makes me happy. I don't get to talk to him much. We've been discussing my next visit to Australia, he and everybody there are quite happy I'm coming back, and so am I. <3

Not really... much else to say. I've been sorta... flopping about doing nothing. Ughh.

Hmm... For one, I think I wanna revamp my LJ theme. I'm kinda over Wicked. XD

Anyways, it's my birthday on the 30th of September, I'll be 17. Exciting. :3
But that's not important, what is is that my darling friends are coming to see me. I haven't met them yet, but y'know, all the kids have online friends these days.
Two are coming up from Masteron (Rarakie and Sparky) and another is coming down from whangarei (Hayden). It's weird how my mom is completely fine with this. Seems to have just accepted the whole "ONLINE FRIENDS ARE TOO REAL FRIENDS" arguement. It's great. XD
So first up Rara gets here on the 25th,  then we go grab Red from the bus stop on the 27th, then we get Sparky on the 28th. Then we'll all be together till the 1st, when Red goes home. Sparky then leaves on the 2nd. Then it's just me and Rara again for a few days.
Luckily, they'll all be here on my birthday, so we're all going to Rainbow's End (plus some other peoples I'm inviting!) to have fun. Incase I have any american/other country readers, Rainbow's End is New Zealands main theme park. :P
I so cant wait! I'll post more news as it comes, I guess.
<333

Although if you saw me IRL I'd probably just look really sad and/or depressed. I'm not good at expressing anger.
OR maybe I'm just tired from walking around too much
BUT ON THE INSIDE I AM VERY ANGRY.
My bank sucks so much
SO much
ARGH didnt wanna process the goddamned cheque I got from Americaaa (But I'm happy it got here thanks so much Frosty <3333)
SO then I went to another one and ended up joining them LOL
Argh so now I got two accounts.. at two banks... again.
I AM SO LEAVING WESTPAC AFTER NATIONAL GET DEBIT CARDS
rawrghsdxfc

THEN they're like WELL COME IN AND WE'LL SEE WHAT WE CAN DO
so I go in and they're like welll we MIGHT be able to process it blahblah HOW BOUT YOU JOIN US
so I'm like yeah okay Westpac suck anyway
then I like, walk home to get my fricken ID cuz I forgot
SO I GO BACK and talk to the lady in there a bit and got everything sent off and sorted
*fume*
Daaamn its hot today ):
god damn I dont even have enough energy left to express how angry i am cause its hot today and i've been walking back and forth from my house to the banks like 3 times, thats actually like 6 walks
*cries*

So I've posted journals on FA/dA about the moving thing. But I'm pissed off, so I'll be going into more detail and ranting a bit in here. I'd have done it last night after I got home and found out... But I had fun that day so I didn't wanna kill my mood. Saved that for today!
So, our room mates have asked us to leave, with out a reason.

About 8 months ago when we were struggling, they offered to share their house with us, so that was really nice of them. Only problem was, they were charging 400 a week for rent, and for what? We felt... like we had to walk on egg shells, and there was major privacy issues. They still totally controlled everything. I turn on the oven to heat it up, then go off for a few minutes. Penny walks past and sees, "Tsk tsk", turns it off. Theeen gets to cooking her dinner. Wouldn't most people ask somebody if they were actually using the kitchen first? Not like ovens just turn themselves on! So whatever, I've been hating it here from day 1, I can't live with people other than my family and friends. Penny was like, an evil step mom from hell. She always used to go to my mom and tell her how to look after me, because she didn't like how my mom was going about things. My mom never pointed out everything she didn't like about how she was raising her kid. That's just rude.

Anyway, a couple days ago Penny flipped a bitch. She was stomping around slamming doors then the next day she had her husband tell us they wanted us gone. So that was yesterday. Still don't know WHY. I mean, I'd be more okay with it if they gave us a reason.
So yes, packing has to start right away... At the moment the parents are calling up people and whatnot, house hunting and all that.
This is going to suck. We're POOR. I don't even have a bed, or a desk, or anything really. Cause we were renting some furnature here...
So... yeaah. Ohnoes.

In other not so emo news, I met a buncha awesome fuzzies yesterday! By that I mean furries. I was all quiet and stuff... Cause I get kinda nervous, but I hope they didn't think I didn't like them. Cause I diiid. D:
Anyway, I think that's all...

Haven't been up to much the past couple days, but I did meet my friend Durin for lunch today, soon he's gonna introduce me to a bunch of other people, it's gonna rock. ^_^
He was epic cool, so I think we'll all get along well.
Other than that, I have cards to send out to people for their birthdays, so I'll be doing that tomorrow. Ricky's will be late, but thats okay, the thought that counts!

Rarakie is coming up to Auckland next month, around my b'day too, so I'm super excited about that! :D

Uhh not much else going on, so peace out! <3

Okay so. I've neglected to post something since... forever ago! Nuu!

I... really can't be bothered remember what I've been up to, but it's probably not much. XD
Buuuut I finally got Kingdom Hearts. You see, I had a deprived childhood and lacked gaming consoles, so I had to play games at friends' houses n stuff. But yeah, totally addicted now. Definitely ask for KH2 for my b'day...
Speaking of that, it's on September 30th. So next month I'll be 17. Scary. D:

ARGHHHGH. See, this is why I need to post my life straight after something interesting happens, otherwise I kinda forget and go blank on what to write.

Laters. xx

Okay, here they are. I hope they're appreciated, it took me a really long time to resize all these and upload them!

So, I got home easy enough, flew through customs and security at the airport. I spent today just chilling, but damn do I wanna go out and DO something.

Anyway, on the drive home my father fucked me off immensely. Going on about how I can't go back to Australia and stay at Ricky's, cause I'd 'Use all his power and use all his water'. Then he started going on about how he's wanted to go to Australia for years, and about how my 'bloody mother' as he called her, didn't. What the fuck? He isn't bound to her, she doesn't want to go, and that shouldn't stop him at all if that was what he really wanted. I'd probably prefer he fuck off for a while, anyway. He just goes on and on about shit, talking about his great plans, but he expects everyone else to make them happen. He never wanted me to go to Australia, he laughed at me when I said I would, discouraged me from the start. Well fuck you, I went and you didn't. I beat you, so hah.

What else is on my mind... Well, I miss people. Specially Ricky, Alex, Brooke, the Racheals... Hell, I miss Dylan too! Some day, I swear, I'll go back for good. It's on my to-do list, probably when I turn 18. I'm not sure yet.

Other things I need to do include getting a job, taking some courses, getting out more... Socializing. All that stuff. Oh, and get my own place, can't forget that.

I miss Australia so much and I've only been gone one day. It really got up my independence and self-confidence. I was going out and doing things, feeling great about everything... Now I'm back here.
My parents are too protective. They won't let me out of the house without being worried shitless over silly things. At least now, they know I'm serious about prying them off me. I'm taking a stand and they can't hold me back anymore. When I was away I was free for the first time in my life, and I miss that. So as soon as I can, I'm out of here.

Here could be this house, here could be New Zealand, I don't know yet.

In other news, Simon and I have broken up, but don't ask about that.

Next post, I'll dump a whole heap of photos.

-Alia

Okay, so me and Ricky are at Brooke's house (she's his cousin), tomorrow morning we're goin' to the airport and all that, so this is the last journal I'll make till I get home!

This morning... well first Kassey went home and then Lisa (Ricky's sister) dropped us off and Brooke came and got us... Then when we got here, we chilled for a bit, then went out (and foxed ourselves up) to the arcade and spent more money than we should have, won a bunch of plushies, got a buncha candies, broke one of the crane machines. Like serious, actually broke it. It was great. XD
They also taught me how to smoke, BAD BROOKIE. Ohwell, at least I can say I took up smoking and then quit within 6 hours. Gotta try everything once, eh?
But really, I won't do it again. I promise.

Uh... so back to that crane machine, we broke it looking for bunearys! I won one, but I gave it to Ricky, then Brooke won one, and gave it to me, so we tried like a ton of times to get her one, but... it didn't work. Instead we ended up getting like... a shitload of others... So Brooke gets to keep all them. :3

This morning Ricky gave me a gift, too, its a sunstone heart and it glitters so... I love it.
Dylan had to go to school today, so I couldn't see him before I left, but I left him a note and stuff. I'm still bummed I couldn't get a hug or anything, though.

So yeah, Brooke and Ricky are my idols. This trip fucking rocked, and I've met lots of wonderful people. My love goes out to everyone!
See y'all back in NZ!

Okayso. Me, Dylan and Kassey went for a walk down to the corner shop, but their ATM was broken... so we still got some chocolate and skittles, and a can of rockstar, then we ended up walking like, to San Remo. Incase nobody knows, San Remo is like, an hours walk. Kinda just kept walking and didn't stop. We were like... hyper shits the whole time. XD

We found a working ATM then visited Ricky at work, he was sorta surprised at first, we sorta crowded him and we were all giggly and laughy and bickering all at once, it was probably really funny. Anyway, after he told us he finished in two hours we stocked up on chocolate and coke, and chips too... Then we were on a massive sugar high, we invented a species for ourselves too. Called Jesuses... Yeaaah. We were an awesome pack.

MMHMM THBBBT. Thats how you say hello in Jesuses-ish. But wow, we were insanely hyper, probably about as hyper you can get without alcohol, it was so funny! We were like, swinging on swings and playing on seesaws, and those spinny things... and laughing like lunatics the whole time, because we thought EVERYTHING was just... funny. Then we chased Ricky around after he came out, it was awesome. Course, he could totally run faster so we never did catch him... So now we're all back home, after 4 hours on our feet running around all hyper, Dylan, Kassey and I are very tired...

So yeah. Three journals in one day, wooow.
Tomorrow I wanna try and see Alex before we go, I miss him. ):

This morning me and Ricky went out to the horses with his mom and aunt, I got to ride one too. Her name is Dot, and she was so gentle, she definitely knew I was a newbie. I got a few photos so I'll post them some time. <3

After horse riding we went to The Nobbies again, me and Ricky kinda just... looked around at the gift shops and stuff, then we left and went into town, the adulties dropped us off in the middle of the street cause we saw Kasey, who is this girl I met earlier on, so of course we leapt out and went and said hi! Then we all went to meet Jackie and Kerry at the supermarket, they had gone grocery shopping. So eventually we concluded to kidnap Kasey, so now she's staying over tonight. :3
At the moment she's out with the horses, but she'll be back soon. Ricky is at work, but Dylans here to keep me company.

The flight thing never did work out, we couldn't get it moved, but Ricky's cousin Brooke agreed to take me to the airport, so everything should be fine and I'll be back in NZ on tuesday.
Tomorrow I THINK we're goin' to Cowes (I think so, cause Kasey lives there and all), then after Brooke is coming to the island to grab me and Ricky, then very early monday night/tuesday morning, we'll go to the airport. So I'll be back in boring ole NZ soon...

Anyway, hope everyone's well and all that stuff.

So tonight we (me and Ricky) went to see the penguins... Basically you sit around and wait till they come outa the ocean, and they walk up the beach... They were super cute, and we got our tickets for free, which included free drinks. So that was good. We wondered around the place, gift shops and cafes, the usual. When we got back we were at home briefly before going for a walk to the beach, the time was around 8-ish then... Then we came back and had dinner, now I'm here typin' up this.

All n all today has been good, I'm happy and all that, but its sad, because I don't wanna leave just yet. Tomorrow is sunday, so its the last full day I'll have to do things, monday and tuesday are all about getting me to the airport, but that depends on the flight, I'm not sure if I can change it...

When we were walking back from the beach, I said something like "Finally goin' home", and Ricky noticed I called his place home, and then I realised thats sorta... what it has become to me, and I'm going to miss it. My home away from home, and everyone says I'm welcome anytime, so I'll be back for sure.

... It's strange, being so happy, yet so... sad about the thought of leaving all of it behind.

Anyways, I hope everyone else is having a great time, and I'll most likely post another journal tomorrow explaining the situation after I call the airport!

So, today me and Ricky went to the wildlife park, we got a ton of photos too. I got to feed wallabies and wallaroos and kangaroos... and one of the kangaroo's had a joey in her pouch, it was SO cute.
Those wallabies are pretty cheeky though, always grabbing at my hands with their little paws, it was just SO cute and I wanted to kidnap one and take it back to NZ. Aaaww. <3

So... while we were feedin' this one particular kangaroo who I absolutely adored, two emus came and like, semi-attacked us. Ricky didn't wanna go in the enclosure for that very reason, but I made him anyway, and it was like... so funny. XD
I mean shit, course it was scary... but funny. I didn't think I'd end up screaming and running away from emus. They were all following us too, looking for food, so we threw some... and they ignored it. And came after us. So Ricky was all 'Throw the whole bag!' then we got the fuck out. XD

... Then later I wanted to go back in, I take a few steps and one of them comes at me. SO I RAN OUT. Yeaaah.

Anyways, I'mma be goin' now. There's been some problems with my flight, its too early and we have no way to get to it, so I'll needa move it to later in the day, I'm not even sure if it can be done, but I'll see.
Anyway, hope everyone's well!
Tonight we're gonna see the penguins, it'll be cold but I'm excited. Also excited to upload all those photos when I come home!

OKAY, hellooooo from Australia. For real this time.
For those of you who didn't know, Ricky's computer has been busted since I got here, so my only internetz was short turns on other peoples computers whenever I went to their house! Oh noes!
Ricky is at work at the moment, but he'll be back soonish. I'm sitting in Dylans (Ricky's younger brother) room typin' this up. At first I thought it would be super weird spending time in his room since I'm Ricky's guest, but screw that we get along really really good. XD
We hit each other and everything, its great.
So, what to write about. I should write about what I've been up to, but oh man, I'm so hopeless at remembering what I did if I don't have a computer to journal shit on...
Well, here goes.
( I apologise for this big scrammbled mess, but this is more or less what has happened... )

Ohkay. I'm pretty tired, its... almost 6:00PM here in Aussie, things are goin' great so far!
Figured while theres a working computer with a net connection I'd update everyone.


SO I'M AT KIERSTEN'S HOUSE. With Ricky and Rachael. YAYY, We kinda,,, walked around a heap today, it was good. XD
While I have time, I'll write about my day from the beginning. So... first I got on the plane, obviously, then went through the Australian imigration system, I got a visa and all that... I was pretty nervous. I managed to sneak past Ricky and Brooke on my way out, but they found me, so yayyy.
OKAY then we went to Brooke's, messed around, I played with her rattie Cheddah, he's so amazingly CUTE AND TWITCHY.
SOOO then after  Brooke took me and Rick back to his place, I met his family, unpacked some of my shit. I'm kind of annoyed my DO and hair product was somehow unscrewed... and the liquid leaked all over some of my clothes, so that wasn't so pleasant. D:
Uhm.
I forgot what we did after this.
I GOT RICKY'S MOM CHOCOLATE THOUGH. And his brother.
SO I think we'll be heading back... soonish or laterish. Yay. Rachael is staying over at Ricky's tonight, they plan to corrupt me in some way.

Anyway, things are goin' great so I'll update whenever theres a working computer around.
Xxx


PS : SIMON AND COREY, TEXT ME D;

YAYYY
!!!

*pokes Ricky*

:D
OKAY so, everything went smoothly this morning at the airports, after I walked out Ricky and Brooke mauled me with love, it was great. <3
SO now we're at Brooke's, we'll go back to Ricky's later today, I think. ANYWAY, so far things are fucking awesome and Australia is great.

SEE YOU ALL LATER!!

OOOH YEAHYEAHHH
PACKIN'
MAH
SUITCASE
YEAAH
Sunday evening, and I'm going to Australia on... TUESDAY! So I'm getting pretty excited. I'll be bouncing off the walls tomorrow. Maybe I'll pass out, I need to wake up at like 3AM on Tuesday anyway, since my airport check in time is 4:30. Then I need to wait around 2 hours till the plane leaves at 6:30. That's a total bummer, but whatever. By the time I get to Australia at 8:30 their time, I'd have been awake 7 hours already. I'm not looking forward to that part of it...
But oh my god, this is the most exciting thing that has ever happened to me in my entire life. Can't wait to see Ricky.

Anyway, onto today's adventure. Messed around with Xeno today, basically. We didn't do much, at first I was in a net cafe waiting, then we went to the warehouse to get me some new sockies. Mmm, stripes. THEN we went to this japanese place to get some pocky... aaand then we went to get some make up. I got some Thin Lizzy concealer to fix my face, its expensive... but oh well. It works. I feel a little girly, cause... THIN LIZZY. Godlol.

Hah.. yeah. Haha. OH yeah I got some Mc Donalds on the way home and I got a free cheeseburger, so I gave that to my mommy.
Anyway, I need to finish packing... booo.

Also, enjoy the cute pikachu icon! There's a full version here too, if anyone wants to see it. (:

( The full version of my icon. I drew this picture. )

...I got my tickets to Australia today. Everything is all set up, all I need to do is pack my bags and get on that plane.
Just think, this time next Tuesday I'll be in Melbourne having a cup of tea with Ricky! I'm so excited!

Other than that, I think I may need to open last minute commissions. I'm just a tad short on cash... But either way that doesn't matter, cause the trip is paid for and I'm GOING. Ha-HAH. 

To everybody who said I'd never save enough money to leave the country, fuck you so much.
:)

Okay, so I figure since I come to my own LJ page a lot, I'd post a list of stuff I'll be taking to Aussie! This way I'll see it often and hopefully I won't forget anything.

- Phone/nintendo/ipod chargers/cords
- Possibly pillow/blankets

- Moneys

Hmmm. If I forgot something I'll probably edit this.

Update on the sickness thing. Today I'm feeling a heap better, still feeling crappy, but so much better than before. It's... kinda only dawning on my how sick I really was. Even though I'm a lot better, I still feel absolutely terrible. So, let's go over my sick days:

When I first woke up on Friday, I was in so much pain with such a terrible fever, I was mainly in the bathroom crying or in my moms room waiting for her to come home. I don't usually cry because of physical pain, but god damn it was horrible. I was hallucinating too. Sleeping was no better, I probably had the weirdest dreams I've ever had, but let's not get into that.
I mostly spent Friday in bed in total agony waiting for mom to get home to get me some painkillers.

Day two of sickness, Saturday, thank goodness it was Saturday. Mom didn't have to go to work, so I was happy she was around if I needed her. I still felt so awful... I managed to get up and about, but only for a couple hours, then it was back to resting.

Day three, Sunday. Aka today. As mentioned, a lot better but still bad. I went into town with my mom and brother this morning...
First up we just went to the mall, I got a really cute bag from this place, I shouldn't be spending money... but I needed to make myself feel better. Besides that, we just walked around. I got McDonalds for lunch, omnom. I shouldn't have, but... oh well. I think I walked it off, we did do quite a bit of walking around anyways. After that me and Aaron had to help mom with the grocery shopping... That was... ehhh. Boooring. At least I got to push the trolley. Makes me feel all responsible. :P
Uh, in other news I wore my new boots today, and my feet aren't totally killing me. Breaking in your shoes at home before wearing them out is a VERY GOOD IDEA.

Even though I did shit all today, it took so much out of me, I'm quite surprised things are so hard when one is sick. I wanted to collapse. Seriously, I was just walking around looking like a horrible sick zombie.

Yay, I'm all stocked up on painkillers. I am SO ready to just... GO TO SLEEP. Too bad I can't sleep in the middle of the day, so I'll need to settle for night time like normal people. Oh well.


AND OH.CUTE CHENZEL ICON IS CUTE.
