I havn't up dated this thingy for ages and ages and ages.
I'm starting uni a week tomorrow. I'm quite scared about it. Suposse I don't make new friends there. Uni's meant to be really fun but what if I don't enjoy it? I know it should be fine but still..... I also need to find a 3rd subject to do.
But I'm going to take the advice from the song I'm listening to at the moment "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" and not worry about it.
I'm also in the middle of making a skirt from a pair of jeans I hope it turns out OK.
Current Mood:  anxious
Current Music: Always Look on the Bright Side of Life -Monty Python

Hello anyone who bothers to read this.
I'm still in Middle Earth or New Zealand or whatever. And tomorrow we're going to Hammner Springs where we'll do dolphin swimming (will be freezing but should be amazing) and then we're going somewhere else to go skiing : ) But that means this is the last time I'll be on the computer till we get home *scarey thought*
Oh and postcards *blushes* postcards take a very long time to get from NZ to Scotland this is perhaps not helped by the fact I havn't written them yet. But I will definitly , well maybe if I can find my list of addresses.
Today we went canoing which was dead fun. We also jumped in a few times which was freezing. Oh and Mary pointed out the Misty Mountains. (the ones in FOTR that they couldn't get over)
We've also been to the beach twice and done other stuff. Oh and we saw Shrek 2 which was really funny.
Think I have to go now. Well I'll see you all quite soon.
Current Mood:  cheerful
Current Music: sadly none

07:04 pm - hi from NZ
I thought I may as well start updating this thing again. so hello everyone from New Zealand.
We just got here (wednesday) yesterday evening though we left on Monday morning. I think there's a time difference thing there but it's a bit too confusing to work out.
The last part of the flight was really annoying as we flew to Christchurch and then back to Auckland twice cause we couldn't land in Christchurch cause of fog. Eventually we managed to get a direct flight to Nelson though our luggage still went to Christchurch lol Thankfully we got it back today. On the rest of the flight I watched lots of films. I saw Starsky and Hutch, Big Fish, Pleasantville and The Full Monty. I also saw a bit of Hidalgo and 21 Grams.
It's really nice here. The weather is very sunny - you wouldn't think it's winter. Just been relaxing today cause we are all a bit jet lagged. Also been going on Tom and Joy's trampoline - fun.

10:39 pm - Passed : D
Yay I'm really happy, I managed to pass my driving test today. That would be my third try. I was quite worried when I was doing it (my feet were shaking on the pedals lol ) And I kept thinking he was going to give me a serious for something which would have meant I'd failed, but no I passed. And I only got 8 minors. I'm so relieved that i don't have to do it again. I think I was more worried than I was last time cause last time was a nightmare. Now I'll be able to drive by myself. Scarey.. I have a feeling I'll be crap at route finding but never mind.
In the afternoon we went shopping. I spent ages in Monsoon trying to find a prom dress but I wasn't sure about the one I found. It looked lovely but it was a wee bit tight. I might have problems breathing lol. I still might get it. I'm just not sure. I'm very indecisive. Here is a picture of the dress. In case you don't know me the person isn't me lol So please say what you think.
But I did get shoes to wear for my 18th birthday party. They are black, shiney slandles with only a small heal so I can dance. I also got a matching bag yay!!! I can't wait till my party now.
Current Mood: ecstatic

07:49 pm - The end of Sex and the City
I can't believe it, tonight is the very last episode of Sex in the City *sobs* Why can't they just carry it on and on and on. Appartently there is going to be a film, but that won't be out for ages. Also the film critic part of me probably won't like it.
And in the real world.... well I was at Joanne's party on Wednesday, it was really fun. And I'm going to Zubia's party tomorrow. We're going to the cinema and going bowling. Should be fun. We're going to see Honey which I don't want to see that much cause I hate that kind of music and it got bad reviews... but it's her birthday and it probably won't be that bad just a bit predictable. Oh well. And bowling should be fun. Zubia's going to be 18, and I'll be 18 in a less than a month. Yikes!!! it sound so grown up.
And I now have a new website called Stardust Stardust Though I havn't put anything up in the space yet. I want to get a bit of content first. This is a website I can upload myself yay!! I don't have to wait for Dad to get round to doing it each time.

02:27 pm - some more mad quizzes
Your soul is bound to the Rose Bud: The
Naive.
"I keep all of my secrets somewhere inside
and though I haven't let myself shine to the
world, I'm good for something but too good to
give to you."
The Rose Bud is associated with innocence,
curiosity, and confidence. It is governed by
the god Cupid and its sign is The Dewdrop, or
Puppy Love.
As a Rose Bud, you may have grand ideas about love
and you may well be inexperienced. You tend to
be optomistic, idealistic, and curious, but
it's just because you like being a positive
person. You also may have high thoughts of
yourself, and can come off a bit conceited, but
it's just a mask to hide your lack of
experience.
What Rose Is Your Soul Bound To?
brought to you by Quizilla
I'm pretty damn hard core! Fear me!
My #1 result for the SelectSmart.com selector, Which Lion King Character Are You?, is Nala
