Dolphins!

As I am in Monkey Mia, yes, you would expect to see dolphins up her....but not 15 of them!

Last night I went for a walk down the beach and four dolphins just randomly appeared out in the ocean. When I got to the other side of the jetty I waited for a moment and a dolphin came straight into the water in front of me and was less than a metre away (I literally could have touched it) Everytime I stepped into the water a stingray would appear right under my foot (and that happened 7 times) I think that they like me ^_^

I might go out in a kayak later but the water is looking both choppy and cold...so I don't know.

There is still only one computer working and so this place gets the badge of epic fail *hands computer badge of epic fail*

The Worst Internet in Australia, Red-Eyed Pigeons and Camels

This is Jess, Jess says hi! Clap for Jessie, Jessie die (thought it's too bad that I'm already dead)

I am in....what is this place?....Monkey Mia now and the weather is nice (I'm right next to the beach-I can see it through the door thats next to me-and the sun is very, very bright) and I've been travelling up the coast for 6 days now (without internet might I add) The computer that I'm typing on at the moment is a pie terminal (no it is not made of pie) and the keyboard is tiny (smaller than a laptops) and the keys are so old that the letters have actually worn off so I would be stuffed if I didn't already know where all of the keys are! I am also proud to say that I have now found a computer with internet that is both slower (way, way slower) and more expensive than my home computer :P

My sister took a ride down the beach on a camel before, I ran and hid behind the jetty because camels are my arch-nemisis. My parents tried to get me on one but they failed, miserably.

Yesterday at the roadhouse that we stopped at to get fuel I saw a large flock of red-eyed pigeons and I immediately thought 'oh no, the Volturi are after me!' Luckily they weren't and I wasn't savaged by vampire pigeons.

The caravan has survived it's trip up-amazingly-but I'm not sure if it will survive on the way back down! My sister gets really annoying when she's bored-although I do too-and she was throwing food at me today-which I promptly threw back. In an attempt to stave off the boredom I have also now read the host a grand total of 4 times-yes, it is a good book-and now I'm hoping that there will be a sequil.

I have hust realised that the browser type that I am using is Mozilla Firefox and I actually like good old Microsoft's Internet Explorer better. I think it's just more practical and you can do just about anything that you want with it-unlike this thing which I cant seem to figure out/use tabs/open another window/refresh the page/make the window smaller/adjust the size of the window at all!

I hope to see some dolphins tomorrow otherwise this holiday will have been my worst one in history. Maybe I'll get to see a dugong too, that would make my day!

...On another note, I HAVEN'T DONE ANY HOMEWORK AT ALL YET/SCIENCE STUDY/MATHS STUDY/ENGLISH/ANYTHING!!!! I am so dead. And someone behind me just ran across the room, tripped on a patch of water and slammed their head into the metal kitchen table, where's the doctor?...

I better go do everything else that I have to do before my internet time runs and out and maybe come back to this later/tomorrow.

-Jess the dead-

P.S There is a large sailing ship on the horizon at the moment and it reminds me distinctly of the Black Pearl, ahoy there!

Jane Austen

I was going to put this all up on livejournal but my computer wouldn't co-operate.

That is the boxed set, viewed from the front and on my computer desk infront of the monster itself.

And viewed from the back, as you can see it has a lot of books in it!...Oh, oops, don't look at the bottom left corner...I've been messing around on photoshop again ^^

This is to show(off) the gold edged pages and pretty cover.

And this is another plus, THERE ARE PICTURES!!!! And yes, it is quite obvious now what that other book is that is lurking on the edge of the picture-

Keeheehee. I got it yesterday and I have only read 63 pages (it's 617 pages long) and when I went to the till (at Angus and Robertson) the first question that the lady asked me was not '$32.99 please' it was 'I bet you're looking forward to the release of the fourth book'...my response was automatic of course but I looked up when I walked out of the bookshop (after blushing bright red of course) and I noticed that they had a huge poster up for both Breaking Dawn and The Host. While I was at the counter the lady commented to both me and her co-worker that The Host was selling out. I can't seem to go anywhere without overhearing a conversation about Twilight.

Another Sa-turd-ay

Bleh, another sa-turd-ay, but today wasn't an RDA day-luckily, I mean, have you seen the weather outside? There is a river running through my backyard!

So, what have I been doing this week? Homework, school work, sose excursion, etc, etc. And what else? Well, I have contracted a mutant relative of the flu (I cant have the actual flu as I had the flu vaccine a few weeks ago) so I feel like #%&^ right now. I've been writing a lot and I updated my fic yesterday, the stats are (atm):

6 chapters, 61 reviews (1 review since I put it up last night), 2364 hits, 12 favorites, 30 alerts (+1)

So, yeah, I am rather disappointed with the reviews at the moment but I will just have to see what happens tomorrow (maybe I'll get the chance to throw a spaz at my readers for not reviewing-I-amazingly-got 16 reviews for the 5 chapter so I dont know what happened with this one)

As for my user stats, here they are:

Favorite of 13 members, alerts of 8 members, submitted 459 signed reviews, archived 63, 721 words and there are now 1062 hits on my profile page ^^ (YAY!)

So that's basically everything that I have been doing this weekend/the two days that I was off school and partly dead.

Today

First off, I would like to start this post with a picture that I found on Twilight Australia:

I think its quite sweet :P

And for the rest of this post I will talk about my new obsession with music...and not just any music:

Tank, Farenheit, Danson Tang, Jay Chou, etc.

There is no possible way that you could scare me Sheryl, I love it! And yes, the remix is very, very catchy!!!!

I have submitted 430 signed reviews on my ff.net account and there has been 1042 hits on my profile page ^^ (I guess the really like to pull their guns out and take shots at my profile :P) If I favourite 7 more stories then I will have favourited 200 stories, exactly

I am currently in the process of rewriting the first 2 chapters of New Hope/Shattered Sanctuary and hopefully I will have them done by tomorrow so that I can put them up with my next chapter. It's rather darker now than the humorous start that it got off to the first time around, here's a little taste of the very, very start:

A lone horn sounded from the dark forest, it cried out in the silence for a moment before it was cut off sharply, the scout pole axed from his horse. The watch on the walls at New Hope quickly signaled the alarm, Scanran raiders had surrounded the camp.

The commander of the camp watched from the main wall as her troops ran to raise the gates and man the battlements. It had been a month since the last attack on her camp and she had foolishly thought that they would be safe.

A flash of mail in the corner of her vision distracted her for a moment, thoughts of her friends flooding her mind. Neal had been among the first to fall, his magic of no use against a Scanran’s lance. His father had wept over his son’s body until an arrow bloomed from his back, another one to his temple following in quick succession. Kel had frozen in shock beside the bodies, endangering herself, until someone had grabbed her by the waist and dragged her down to sit against the wall.

She felt numb, apart from everything that was happening around her. She sat, motionless, as the Scanran’s flooded from the forest like oil across water. The walls were quickly overrun and the clang of sword fighting began to invade Kel’s thoughts. She stayed detached from her surroundings until someone fell down in front of her, blood pooling before her from a wound in the man’s side. Her heart shuddered as she realized that Dom was the man before her, clad in the mail of the Own and clinging to a bow that had fallen with him. He was with his uncle and cousin now, in the realms of the dead.

Kel turned her eyes from Dom to see a raider stood over her, broadsword grasped in a two handed grip. This would be her end as well.

Yeah, so it is a lot darker than the first write, but dont worry, there will still be quite a bit of humour in it xD

And something else that I must add in here, the baseball scene sounds kick-ass! (lolololol)

"Catherine Hardwicke, who's directing the scene for her adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's bestselling young-adult novel "Twilight," is excited about the sequence in which balls are hit with the force of cannon blasts and gravity-defying catches are the norm -- and about one gag in particular. In it, two players "are in competition to catch the same ball and have a huge, crazy midair collision 20 feet up in the air when a huge crash of thunder resounds," making it appear as though their clash created the resounding boom. One of them also "totally climbs up a tree crazy-style and catches a ball midair -- like way at the top of the tree. It's a really fun stunt.""

Sa-turd-ay, again!

Bleh, sa-turd-ay.

Okay, just to set the scene, I am sat at my computer, reading fan fics (multi-tasking!) and listening to Danson Tang (Ai Wo) So far I have listened to the whole album 3 times ^^

So...what happened today...lets go back to when I woke up...


Because I had RDA (Riding for the Disabled) today I had to get up extra early (for me at least) meaning 6 o'clock. When I woke up I found it funny that my alarm clock wasn't going but I usually sleep right through it anyway so I got up and turned my alarm clock off. After I had eaten my breakfast and found my RDA 'uniform' (yellow shirt which says 'Riding for the disabled' on the back-and it doesn't say that I'm a volunteer, not a rider!) I looked at the clock and saw that it was 10 to 7 (I have to be out of the house for 7) so I went to wake my dad up.

When he woke up, he took one look at the clock and said 'you do know that it's 10 to 6'....dammit. It turns out that I woke up a whole hour early and I have no idea why (I didn't go to sleep until sometime around midnight last night) So I got out Pride and Prejudice and sat on the couch reading until 10 to 7 (I read 6 chapters)

When I got to RDA it was FREEZING COLD!!! There was rain all over the fences and the horses were very, very tired. I signed in, found my badge (its very distinguishable because it is the one that looks like the horse is bleeding because the ink has run-I was out in the rain a lot last year) and went outside to see what I could do.

I brushed Bunny and picked her hooves out but I didn't saddle her because I'm not very well...practised at that (I'm very good at taking saddles off though) I then said hello to most of the horses there and met Chiko who is a new skewbald (chestnut coat with white splodges on her back and sides) shetland pony-and he is actually nice! (*gasp* shock horror)

I sidewalked in the first lesson for Lace and led Star in the second lesson (where she bit me on the knuckles-but luckily it was only a light nip and I only have a few red marks) I took a rest in the third lesson and cleaned out all of the water buckets and put the hay back into the tubs.

I led Bunny the fourth lesson and I had a very nice rider who loved to talk (which was very, very good because I usually find that I don't know what to say) Then came lunch which was fun to say the least (one guy, lets call him Emmett, crushed five cans, broke a window and stuffed a squeaky toy down his pants all in half an hour)

I sidewalked for....a horse that I cant remember in the fifth lesson and my arm really ached after that lesson because I had to hold the riders leg for the whole lesson. Then, in the sixth lesson, I ended up sidewalking with Steele and I ended up on his left side and he hates having sidewalkers on his left side so he kept trying to kick me.

Just for the fun of it, here's a list of the horses and the problems that they have:

Star: She bites when you do her girth up and she bites when you trot.

Steele: He kicks at anyone on his left side and has 'little man syndrome' because he's a shetland.

Jenny: Hates having sidewalkers, needs blinkers and likes to nibble on jumpers (and anything else thats on your person)

Shilo: SLOW!!! He refuses to go and hates having people infront of him.

Tara: Slow, slow, slow. She also has a mean attitude and will try to bite you.

Holly: Bites when you brush her, saddle her, do her girth up...she just bites. She also doesn't know the meaning of 'STOP' or 'WOAH!', but other than that she's a beautiful horse.

Cascade: He has 'big man syndrome', he likes to make a mess with his food-a BIG mess-and he hates Harry so you can't put the two naywhere near each other, has random mood wings. (My friend and I nicknamed him Jasper)

Chiko: Impatient and very vocal

Lace: She bites when you do the girth up and I think she has something against me.

Bunny: Can be slow and tempermental, can bite, can kick, has random mood swings, etc.

So everyone has a problem! Hurray T.T

Well, when I got back from RDA, mum dragged me out to Video Ezy and I found Howl's Moving Castle so now I own the non-pirated DVD, MINE ALL MINE!!! I also got raspberry fanta which probably explains why I'm hypo at the moment.

I guess that explains my day so far, boy do I love Sa-turd-ay's...Sunday is going to be a...cow....
