I feel all dizzy - stupid varnish. My dads re-doing the benches downstairs and the kitchen is right above my room, my room has no door. Hence dizziness. I feel all stressed too but that's not because of the vanish - stupid school, I have four weeks left of term and everything is due, all my final artworks and final SACs and the formal, I have nearly everything for the formal, dress, shows, earrings, hair appointment ect. and my sister just has to make my necklace.

In three months, that's including the exams, my high school life is over forever. Scary.

This weekend I booked the volunteer program I'm going to do next year - Mombasa, in Kenya - working with the street children there. I'm kinda freaking out. I've never been overseas. I'll be staying with a family I don't know for two months. I don't speak the language. I'll be by myself.

Anyone been to Kenya? Want to tell me some handy hints?

I also applied for my Uni course last week, my first pref. is Nursing at RMIT and then Development Studies at La Trobe -after that several Social Work, Art's and Social Sciences courses. Everything is changing.

Wow, I am so in awe of you signing up for the volunteer program. I have always ALWAYS wanted to get involved in one of those, but I have never been brave enough. :)

You inspire me to try and do one next summer. :)

My sister did one eariler this year in Costa Rica and it sounded so good, plus I figured it would be an interesting why to travel. I was so scared I wouldn't go through with it, so I went in and booked it and now my doubts can't make me pull out. If, no, when you do it - where are you thinking of going?

I very very nearly did one in Kenya myself. That was more of an environmental conservation one though. I hadn't really thought where I would go. There is so much of the world I want to see and experience.

oh, and that was me. Doh!

it worries me that i've always assumed you were arleady in uni, because holy crap you're mature. kenya's going to be lucky to have you. you're graduating at the semester? or have i just never realized that australia's school years run april to january? (what with it making sense that you have the summer months off and all. durr.)

might as well pop the rest of the way over to the states, since you'll be halfway here, right? ;D land of spoilers! and the dirty green dollar! come visit!

Mature.... an adjective that I usually don't hear, I like it. I'm so glad High School is nearly over; I have three months before I'm finished, counting down the days until Nov 11, and then I'm free! Well for a year until I start Uni anyway *g*

Australian schools, well the ones in Victoria anyway - go from the beginning of Feb to about mid December - with three, two week holidays inbetween.

I hope I can drop by the States, I think I actually have a stop over there maybe, but I'd spend most of the time with my hands over my ears yelling 'DON"T SPOIL ME!' though.

Twinness, I haven't eaten for THREE DAYS. THREE DAYS. You know how much I love food. It's slowly killing me. I'm actually fading away. There's little of me left. I've already missed two days of school - and I threw up seven times on Monday! What's wrong with me!!! I'm sufffering, Twinness, I'm suffering! You know what I need? I need my darling House to come and diagnose me. That'll do it! (Oh my gosh - on Monday I was so sick that I didn't even feel like watching TV. HEAVENS ABOVE).

Anyway, back to you. You're going to Kenya! I can't believe it. I'm going to miss you and you'r enot going to be there and there'll be so much missing! Hmm, I have a few tips about staying with a family you don't know: You have to be enthusiastic. I was pretty homesick for the first few days in France, but then I just decided to be really enthusiastic and embrace it all and it got better. I still can't believe you're going!

Well, I must go and NOT EAT DINNER. See ya. (Or will I? There's a strong possibility I might have wasted away into nothingness).

Oh gosh! Your sick! Ewwww!!!! *huggles twinness* *shares germs* I've been sick too, but still well enough to go to school but not well enough to go on the computer, it hurt! My computer hurt me! That's just wrong! Stupid sickness. We should so stone sickness. It has caused so much annoyiness and death.

We have to go see Johnny and the Chocolate Factory, I don't wanna see it with the others... they'll cheapen it. No one gets to cheapen JOHNNY!!

ADVICE!!! *loves twinness*

I hope your eating yuminess by now.

Damn the sickness, eh?

Okay, we're so going to go to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and drool over Johnny together. Can we go on Friday? I've had about a billion different offers (yes, I'm the well known Johnny obsessor at school) but I'll go with you first and foremost, because you're the only one who really understands the Johhnny lovin'!

You have to help me! I need to know how you got your header up there. I've just spent a billion hours making one and I can't get it up there. You're not on MSN and I need your help!

My stupid coughing has come back. DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS!!!

Friday is blocked in. I CAN'T WAIT!! Johnny love!

I went onto

s2flexisquares and used this entry here (http://www.livejournal.com/community/s2flexisquares/1668.html). There is other communities for the different styles and tehy should have instructions.

Stupid homework keeping me away from you in your time of need! I'm sorry!

Twinness, it's not working! I followed every single step and it's just not working. I don't know why! Can you help me?

Don't worry, Twinness, I figured it out! Thank you very much for your help. Heheeh, my header is very... unique. By the by, have I told you yet how much I love yours? If not, I really do!

It took me ages to work out how to do it too! I was all not understanding!

Your header is so the sex - The House poem! Oh what a master piece! Wilson was so wishing he wrote it when he was reading it out!

I was pointed in the direction of an entry in the same journal that tells you how to put icons down the side - like how

shadesofbrixton has on her journal. its here (http://www.livejournal.com/community/s2flexisquares/2205.html#cutid1)

Thank you very much for that link, Twinness, I'm going to have fun with it, hehe! This has been such a HTML-ish evening.

When I can be bothered I'll have some fun with it... now is TV time *drools*
