Ten days since I last posted. The majority of the time has been school. My last subject is finally set, and it's not so bad. I'm taking food and nutrition which should be quite fun. I'm enjoying all my classes so far. Having a positive attitude towards everything really does make it so much better. Of course as usual I'm most interested in drama. I really like the play I'm working from, Wednesday To Come, but I think it will be quite a challenge to complete the task with it. I'll have to have a good think about it. In my head my bookwork is going well so far. I have pages worth of things to write down. I've just got to put it on the paper.
Thursday night I had habyt, and I like the play we are working on there too. It should be a good laugh when we get it all together. And friday was my valentine's date. We went to a movie then back to my house so we spent some good time together. It was rather nice. But he told me he forgot the gift he got me, he left it at home. I was think I'd have to wait at least another few days to see him and get it, but this morning I had a very pleasant surprise. He drove all the way to see me just to give me my valentine's gift. Which was a rose and box of chocolates. By far the best valentine's ever. Although he had to leave straight away so he could get to work.
Anyway, sorry Vicky but it's my turn to talk about MM. So if you don't fancy reading about him skip the rest of this post.
I had to say goodbye last night. He came round to see me and hang out for the last time for a while. We had a great laugh over a game of pool (I won, of course). It was very funny and I was enjoying the time with him so much. I knew goodbye was going to be hard but the closer it got the worse it seemed. After our game of pool we each got a text telling us to go to the 21st Max was at, so we decided we'd go along and join the party. Max, MM and I were hanging out and having a great time. But MM had to go meet another friend at probably about 11pm, so there it was. We all know he's not a big one for hugs but standing by his car just before he left we were definitely hugging. And I did not want to let go. Of course I had to though so after dragging out goodbye a little he was gone. Max and I went back into the party and I was dancing and having a lot of fun, but of course he was still on my mind. I am going to miss him very much. Texting just won't be the same, but we do both want to keep well in touch so texting and catching up if he's back for holidays will be important now.

Life In Year 13
I suppose I should update on how things are. I posted last monday so I am slacking a bit. I made sure to have a busy week but it'll be a test to remember what I actually did. Tuesday I believe was lunch with friends. The place we wanted to go to was only actually open at dinner so we ended up taking a walk down the road to a reasonably nice restaurant. I think it pushed our budgets a bit but it was nice for us to have a proper get together like that. Wednesday I think was when DBF came round in the evening and we watched a movie together. And in the morning I went to see It's Complicated with mum and a friend. It was a really good movie, definitely worth seeing. And after the movie I had a driving lesson. Can't wait for restricted now I can leave school during lunch and frees. Thursday I have no idea what I did. Probably nothing. And friday, Vicky, was course confirmation. Saturday I had work, then caught a ride to Napier to have drinks and stay over at DBF's. His parents, although they seem to like me, won't let me stay in his room. That meant an uncomfortable night on the couch, but I did have fun anyway. Sunday DBF gave me a ride to bowling for Kyla's birthday. I had a good time doing that. Hopefully we can arrange bowling with everyone again sometime soon. After bowling I went back to Kyla's and we screeched our way through a few songs on singstar before I went home and did nothing. I was exhausted by then.
This week it's been back into school things. Camp monday and tuesday. Despite getting soaking wet playing sport in the rain it was actually good fun. Tainui won camp shield. Great start to the year for our house. Wednesday was preparing to greet the year 9s, and thursday was the actual greeting and showing them round the school and playing team building type games with them. We also had house assemblies, and our chance to speak and let people see how we'd do as house leader. I would like to get it, I think it would be fun, but seen as it's mostly a popularity contest I doubt I will.
Today was the first day of lessons. I had two free periods since I still have a subject gap. Spanish by correspondence, I hoped, but that was rejected. We're applying again for level 2 now, rather than level 1. But I guess that will be rejected too and I'll be stuck doing chemistry. Another year of science when I'd hoped to drop it entirely. FML, I suppose. At least after school I had the retail therapy of spending $40 on fantastic high heels that I probably will only wear a few times.

Life In Days
Well, since last time I posted we've had mum's birthday, seeing DBF (that's darling boyfriend, Vicky), Napier trip, bowling, camping, shopping, work, BBQ.
Monday, mum's birthday;
I got her nice moisterisers/soaps/etc, plus a coaster with the quote "a home is not a home without a cat" on it, and a bar of novelty chocolate. Dad got her tickets to a concert for friday. My brother forgot. We all went out for lunch with some friends. That's reasonably average for mum's birthday.
Tuesday, DBF;
I was supposed to go to Napier, but we changed those plans to wednesday. When I told Sam he wouldn't settle for waiting that one more day to see me. He risked driving his car here. Mistake. Our fun of the day was the car not starting again once we went out. Thankfully we were only 2km away so walked home, and took dad back to get the car started later. This meant not risking turning the car off again, and Sam leaving then, around 4pm, rather than later as planned. I was looking forward to an evening to ourselves, but it ended up being an evening alone, as my parents were going out for dinner with friends. Despite not going quite as we intended, we still had a good day.
Wednesday, Napier;
I met a few friends and we got sushi, and wandered around the shops a little. I bought red short shorts, black longer shorts, and bright coloured board shorts. Great purchases. I saw DBF very briefly, as he drove past us and stopped to say hey. It was a good day, since I hadn't seen a couple of the friends I was meeting much these holidays.
Thursday, bowling, camping;
We were meant to go to splash planet, but it decided that was the day to bucket down with rain, so Moz thought bowling would be a good alternative. He was right. We had a great time. I'm not really very good at bowling so was pleased that in the first game I got 4 strikes and ended up 2nd out of our group of 8. The second game I sadly dropped to 6th. But my first score was 3rd highest overall, so I'm happy. I'll have to see if I can improve my skills on sunday, since Kyla's decided bowling would be good for her birthday.
That night everyone was meant to camp, but weather being a bit miserable most people decided not to. DBF and I went anyway, and texted for back up in the form of H (that can be for hippy, or for Harrison). H turned up with another Sam and we enjoyed drinks and sausages (or, bread, in my case) around a gas cooker. It was a good night.
Friday, shopping;
DBF and I dashed back to his house for showers, then tried to go to Napier to meet Kyla and shop. Car didn't start. We played mechanic, changed the latest part that he'd been told wasn't working. It was a pretty easy job, and personally I think I was the brains of the operation. He'd have done it wrong without me. Amazingly we did it right and the car started. We met Kyla, and hour later than planned. Still did some good shopping. Got a skirt, top, flip flops, bra and undies, discovered I really do have a thing for red right now. Played at the park for a bit, DBF's car wouldn't start again, so Kyla's aunt dropped him home, then Kyla and I back at Kyla's. I went home after that, since mum and dad had to get out for their concert, and spent another evening home alone. Well, with the cat. He's great company.
Saturday, work;
Expected to get grilled for not going last week. Boss hasn't said a thing about it though. Supervisor mentioned it, but it's not really his place so that doesn't matter. It was a busy day. We were out late. I was exhausted, but still got home and ended up going at the ab king pro, since I'm certain I've gained weight over the past few weeks. Another night in alone, as mum and dad had a meeting to go to.
Sunday, BBQ;
Mum and dad hosted a BBQ. There were 50 odd people and it was a good evening. I got suckered into making salads in the morning, and cleaning in the afternoon, ready for people to turn up at 4pm. I got lots of yummy food.
But of course, coming into today, that food meant feeling the need for more exercise today. Went for a cycle with dad. Sorted. Time for a shower and relaxing day before I try to spend every other day this week doing something, because next week school is going to steal that luxury of freedom I've enjoyed for what seemed like so long, but is now slipping away all too fast.

Life In My Head
I think life is best in my own little world. I see things in my own way. I laugh at things when others can't see the funny side. I think this is a good thing. At least it's some kind of reassurance that I'm my own person and not just part of the crowd.
I'm past the first big thing of the year. Big Day Out. It was good. I think it could have been better, but it was still an amazing trip. It was my first trip away unaccompanied. Just a friend and I. No parents. No teachers or other group leaders. I survived. I'm proud of myself for doing that. I had everything organised, I paid for all travel and accomodation, I did it all right. Go me. I congratulate myself. Top act of the day was Lily Allen for me. We were third row and she was a very class act.
The trip of course made me think a lot about myself and where my life is heading, and let's face it, I'm growing up. You know how parents say it seems like just yesterday their child was crawling around playing with blocks, as they help them move out of home? I feel like that. It doesn't seem so long ago that I was just a kid, playing with my friends. Money was only needed for sweets. No worries other than falling over and skinning various body parts, which I did have quite an amount of experience with. Now I have to start thinking about money to get me through university, and even deciding where to go and what to do for uni are big decisions. I'm bigger than I was as a kid, of course, but the world seems even bigger now. It's like it grew as I grew. More options and possibilities appeared each step of the way. I could be terrified by this, and sure it'd be nice to be a kid with no worries again, I think I can do it. I'm excited for the last year of highschool, and then uni and living away from home, and then bigger things past that.
I think I've rambled enough. I'll continue thinking in my head. Life's good there. I should know.

Life In Enjoying Simple Things
It's going well. I am enjoying myself. I commend myself for sticking to this resolution.
I've spent a little time with friends, but probably not enough. I've managed to hang out with a couple of friends, and go to a friend's BBQ, and to a party. I really should catch up with some other people. It will have to wait until next week though. After the big day out. I want to meet a few people, maybe for lunch. Or maybe organise a trip to splash planet or get people out to the river. Just anything to relax and catch up.
I've spent a lot of time texting Sam, some time on MSN and the phone, and a little time with him. It's all been great. Not even three weeks into dating, and he's winning by far. None of my other boyfriends have come close to treating me as well as he does. He's been away on holiday for a week, and is back there now. He came back for his friend's 18th, which we had a great time at. He bought me a watermelon and cut a hole in it and hollowed it out for me to drink from. Everyone at the party loved it, and I loved it. He also bought me a bracelet, from a store at the mount where he's on holiday, which has lots of beads you can make into jewellery yourself. The bracelet he made is really pretty. I'd love to go up to the mount for the day tomorrow, but sadly it's too close to BDO so I can't really.
I'm excited for BDO, and glad to be keeping up that resolution to enjoy myself. Of course not everything's perfect. I know some people haven't had such a great start to the year, but things can only get better. I have high hopes.

Life In 2010
Bring it on. I am all set and prepared for this year. I think it's going to be a good one.
Resolution: enjoy myself. And it's well under way. Despite the lack of sleep last night, and high alcohol consumption, I haven't felt the greatest today, but I've enjoyed it all the same.
I thought it was going to be a quiet night, until I ended up at my friend's bach with his older brother and their uncle giving me my first experience of a tequila lay back. I know at least one person won't know what that is, so, MC, that is when you lay down on a bench, have a shot of tequila poured into your mouth from each side, then swallow as you stand up. I was pleased with my effort here, as I took mine simultaneously with my friend, and I took it way better than he did.
So after that and a few other shots (which I took standing upright) I was well on the way to drunk. Friend's family love me, which is nice. Made a good start to the year.
I'm bringing good things into the new year, and hope to keep it that way. Good friends, my family, and even my guy, now officially mine.
Here's to 2010 - let's make it great.

Life In Christmas
It had to be done, didn't it? A Christmas blog post. So here we go. It's been a pleasant day, with family, and some friends. Gifts were exchanged, food was eaten, jokes were told, company was enjoyed. It's what Christmas is about to me. Spending time together, and appreciating the people around us, so overall it's been a successful day. I already had my big present, my phone, so it was just stocking fillers and my secret santa, which was great. I love what I got. The whole secret santa was so fun. I am sure doing it again next year. That's all there is to say about Christmas really. I have the evening to enjoy now, possibly watching a movie or playing a game with the olds.
Today I've also done a lot of texting. All the "merry christmas" texts this morning, but then, I've been texting my guy, all day long. Ok, ok, he's not officially mine, but it's close enough. We went driving around looking at christmas lights on wednesday night. It was fun. We ended up on the lookout at Bluff Hill, watching a cruise ship leave. We had a really nice time. I get to see him again tomorrow, yet again, going to the river. Should be fun. I look forward to it.
Merry Christmas to one and all. :)
