so tired

when i was a kid i loved playing netball. started in grade 3 and got a trophy that year. it was fun.
then i continued. when we moved to bundy i was playing school, club and indoor. in grade 11 and 12 i played a trained sometimes 5 times a week, it was a big part of my life.

When i moved to brisbane i wanted to join a uni team, but they never got back to me. so for the 4 years at uni i didn't play, until a mate moved to brisbane, i played for 3 games and then moved to adelaide.

so i played a little indoor last year and a bit of mixed.

today i played my first game in an outdoor team, we even trained on tuesday. it was fun..but it rained so much and i played centre...hard stuff...tonight i am VERY tired!

Brisneyland

i am back in brisbane, the first time since January. it is so good to be back, got off the plane and it's so familiar and good. i got to have a fun plane trip with Fiona. We worked out that she would be in a town over Easter and then when we weren't going to be able to meet up we worked out we were booked on the same flight! so we booked to seat together. we ate Easter eggs and laughed alot!

Chris and Sez picked me up and i got to see their new house they have just bought, it's great. we got to chat and went to bed late! today has been fun hanging with Sez and now at KT's house. I got to do one of my favourite things. Go to rockinghorse records. i miss that CD store like i'd miss my right arm...actually that may be a little extreme...but they have a great selection. I got the cd by the drummer from underoath, his side project band's cd...is that sentence correct even?

Brisbane is so much busier than Adelaide.

i think this weekend is going to be TOPS...less then 5 hours til i see jekka joo...and i say YES to that!

he is risen

Easter Sunday is such a fantastic day. it's the day our Lord conquered death.
i was having an interesting conversation with my sister JEK about how Easter to alot of Australian's is just a four day weekend and that that bothered and saddened her a bit. for me today was a joyeous occassion to remember God's promise to us, to forgive us and his sacrifice in his son Jesus. i've been able to spend the day with 5/6th of my family and two friends. it was a wonderful day

happy easter to you all

He is RISEN, He is risen INDEED!

it was reel

A few years ago i went and saw a band called reel big fish play at the arena in brisbane. it was an excellent show. the day after they played a free gig at a skate park on the south side of brisbane. that to was a very cool show.

Last monday i went and saw them again, some 4 years since these shows. They still have it. I mean there are only 3 of the original 7 members and these days there are only 6 members. and since i saw them the new trumpet player back then is no longer in the band, there was some blonde guy. i was afraid they were going to play a bunch of new songs, and i don't know the new album. BUT the started with trendy, and they played all the ones i wanted to hear, the set up, i want your girlfriend, toob top, where have you been, their fantastic cover of take on me...and then they finished their encore with sell out. my night was complete. i walked home a very satisfied gig goer. my ears ringing and a mate to share the night with. onya sarah.

all week my ears were a little foggy though...i really do need to remember to wear earplugs to shows, i'll be deaf by 30 if i'm not careful.
tomorrow night wolfmother
and i got tickets for underoath...i wont even go into how excited i am about that!

Scruffy Wallace

is the name of the bagpipes player in Dropkick murphys....
what a champ.

on another note...underoath are touring with emery and they are actually doing an adelaide show. so very exciting!

went to the garden of unearthly delights. went on the ferris wheel which was cold, but fun. the trapeze artists were done for the day which was a bit of a shame. and we went and saw the man with a big claw or something...it was pretty off beat BUT he did show a bit of an old heaman cartoon as well as captain planet. pretty cool!

that punk rock band from boston

so last night was possible the most fun i've had at a punk rock show in quite some time!
first of all it was an 18+ show which makes it better. now i'm not trying to decriminate against younger people, i love young people but when you get to 23 and you go to an 18+ show then i am still at least 5 years older then the youngest people there...

anyway i'm getting off topic...

i went and saw the dropkick murphys last night. WOW
ok so they consist of 7 guys from boston in the usa but they have alot of irish links! they ing alot about ireland. they have a guy who plays bag pipes (and please note that there was a pirates flag from the top if the bagpipes!),there was a recorder, a piano accordian, guitars (of course), a left handed bass player...and left handed drummer! ahhh they played the songs i wanted to hear and some i hadn't heard. check out rocky road to dublin... it's such a great song.
and then to top the night off i got to go on to the stage with the band...and shannon my new gig buddy was there too on the stage! hahaahhaha it was funny!

anyway someone needs this computer!

do yourself a favour and check them out

adam hills what a leg

i went last night to the theby theatre to see Adam Hills an australian comedian. he was so funny, as you hope all comedians will be. he did his advance australia fair thing...where he sings the words to our national anthem to the tune of working class man by jimmy barnes...sooo good! and there was a signer there and he kept catching her out to do rude signs...

lots of laughs.


check him out if he's ever in a town near you.

dropkick murphys tonight! YES!!

rain rain don't go away

it started raining this afternoon and i praise God for that. i was sitting in my bedroom reading and it started lightly and then got heavier and heavier. it is so good! i was at a school camp earlier in the week near strathalbyn and it is so dry there. i hope they get rain too.
and i went to the shops this afternoon and a friendly lady...with VERY RAD glasses served me..i commented on them and as i was leaving she said enjoy splashing in the puddles!

i think i might!

applied for a passport today!

This Kt a great mate of mine who lives in Brisbane. this is her on her way to an 80's dance night at the globe in bris. LOVE YOUR WORK LADY!

you know you're unfit when...

you get on your mum's exercise bike for 2 minutes and come off it sweating...

i'm hoping it was on a hard level!

Nikola and 10 year not so reunion

when i heard that the lead singer from milliencolin was doing a solo acoustic tour i thought for sure Adelaide would be skipped. but to my absolute joy he did a show at enigma on Saturday night and it was fantastic. i went solo and met a friendly fellow who i studying to be a nurse and he bought his mum and dad along which was cool!
and he played and played to the small but very committed crowd...i even got a set list after and got a to lauren from nikola! but it was hard to get in because everyone was spell bound afterwards...(i'm telling you it was wonderful everyone should have been there!)

and this guy was talking to him and asking if he liked wine...cause his friends (and he pointed to his friend) dad owns a winery in the barrossa henske wines...and the funny thing is that when dad was studying we used to go out to the barrossa and the owner of that very winery used to go to the same church...i reakon it was his son that played the saxaphone...he was pretty nice on the eye...but because i was so pre occupied with nikola i only realised this a couple moments later and when i went to freak him out and ask him if his parents did go to that church he was gone! oh well...it was a wonderful night...i parked on hindley street and my car was still there when i got back so i was pretty pleased!

stepping into the century we currently live in

all i can say is mum and dad got broad ban...

you little ripper!

NOFX....

there is nothing like going to a live show...and further there is nothing like going to a punk show. it had been a while since i had heard the fast drums, loud guitars and the music that i really do appreciate in a venue with lots of people.

that was my Monday night.
nathaenal and i went and met up with a bunch of his mates. i proceeded to loose them and spent alot of the night by myself. however did bump into Rowan a nice young man i have met on a number of occasions. we had an interesting conversation. i didn't pick him being into NOFX and he said he doesn't like to tell people that cause people tend to judge you by the music you listen too. i think i found myself doing that from time to time...and i do that when i have to listen to music i don't like! and it was an interesting point and such.

i found Than just before they started and i enjoyed it for the most part. up until they started bagging Christians and i wasn't down with that. i concluded they make good music but they take tooo many drugs and drink to much.

they did play bottles to the ground and i do enjoy that song!

i was also informed NIKOLA the lead singer from milliencolin is playing at enigma on sunday night! i'm getting myself along to that one too!

just when i thought i was growing out of my punk stage....

the curse of the sneeze

If i was living in the days when the plague was rampid i would have been locked up or shoved underground because my sneezing would have made people think that i had the plague.
perhaps i should be locked up under ground because then the pollen and everything else that makes me sneeze, my eyes itch and nose run wouldn't do those things to me....

telfast are making a lot of money out of me these days....
and it's not even spring!

nofx tonight...it's come up and i didn't even get into the counting sleeps for it cause of the busyness of everything...so i am looking forward to it. to the fast drums and the loud guitars!

let's sing it...HOT HOT HOT

i thank God for air conditioning and the fact our flat got ac earlier this year, cause it was a stinker on the weekend...not sure what the actual temp got to but saying it was rather warm was an understatement...today we had a cool change and now it's only 34!

so i've been a bit in need of up dating this but i don't have the net at home and whenever i go to mum and dad's i just want to hang out with them and chat...and stay in the cool ac...the "bunka" as it is affectionately known is detached from the house and can get hot as hell.

new things in my life
1. i have now seen tool twice in concert...thanks to the big day outs (gold coast and Adelaide)
2. i am addicted to gilmore girls...no thanks to brad and di!
3. i went and saw a night at the museum on saturday with my youngest sisters...it was ridiculous BUT i loved it! good old Ben stiller!
4. it's my birthday in less then a month
5. Chocolate bean is being phased out of my life...i have a full time job between school and church so it's a bit full on doing part time work too! which is sad cause the people i work with are ace and what can i say...I DO REALLY LOVE CHOCOLATE!!!

that's all i can think of!

but installments will be more frequent these days...I hope!

good day to you.

let's just get up to scratch

firstly a couple photos from the GOLD COAST big day out. These are of the killers. they played a fun set, sound was fairly good and the crowd got into it...called my dad from the set and i spoke to him the next day and he was so stoked to hear it that he was thinking about getting a ticket to the adelaide bdo...unfortunatelty it sold out...but he's keen for next year! ha my dad. what a champ!

2 months in the making

ok so it;s been a while...and this is just to say it's going to be a little longer...i am waiting for some photos of the big day out...ah which was amazing by the way...both the gold coast and adelaide...tool...WAIT...can't talk now BUT the wait will be over soon...i just need to get some net access at home or be less lazy and go on when i'm at the parentals!

soon i promise!
