...Don't EVER Call Here...

I have been pre-etty lazy lately. Reason # 1 being that I am very lazy. Reason #2 being that I have actually been pretty busy, which I actually like because it keeps me from being bored.

So, what have I been up to?

Weell, on Monday it was my mother's birthday (Happy Birthday Mum...!). Mum, Emily, and I went to Orange that day because Mum had an appointment there. When we came home Dad, Kaity and Jenna had made a really nice dinner. Crumbed chicken. SO good.

This is Tessie wearing a party hat.

On Wednesday I got a haircut at Jenna's Salon. For some obscure reason, with Jenna staring concludingly at my hair, and Elle (Jenna's boss) frowning understandingly at Jenna, I felt a little like a lab rat.

I had my hair layered and I also got a fringe. I think I like it, but it's pretty different to what I had, so I'm still getting used to it. I'm going to have to take care of my fringe though. Jen, a workmate of Jenna, threatened my with knowing where I lived if I didn't promise to blowdry my hair everytime I washed it. Scary. Who is Jenna working with?

I'd also like to add that it is only six days until Kylie comes home. It's been more than a year and a half. Even though you hated my new haircut in my dream a few nights ago, I am still looking forward to seeing you, Kylie.

Now this is entirely random, but I WOULD like to comment that I hate it when you people call us and I'm listening to music on the computer with headphones on, and I get up (In a flurry of shock ((Someone is actually calling us?!)) and stress ((I won't reach the phone in time! I won't reach the phone in time..!!!!!)).) And my earring catches on the headphones. And I pull at it. And it hurts. And I pull some more. It kills. So I unplug the headphones and run to get the ever-annoying phone that is singing at me...laa laa laa laa la la laaaa! laa laa laa laa la la laaaa! la la la la la laa la laaaa! la la la la la la laaa la! la la la la la la laaa laaaaa! (That's actually what it sounds like!)...and I answer the phone and realise I can't hear through the headphones...so I tear out my earrings so that I can hear. A VERY annoying process I hope you realise. So. DON'T CALL WHEN I HAVE HEADPHONES IN...!

Anyway.

I can't think of anything else to say, so now I'm just going to work on my new blog signature and my new template!
Ciao.

Update, 2 February 2010

I've been meaning write a new blog, as it's been a leetle bit too long since I had. Even now though, there's not a whole lot to tell. School started on Monday and this year we're doing World History. Ancient Egyptians, the Roman empire, Greek mythology....the whole kit and caboodle (Oh my gosh, please tell me I did not just use that incredibly old saying!).

Anyhow, sometimes Mum tries to trip us up when she's reading to make sure we're paying attention. Today we were reading World History 1, about Nomads. There was a short fiction story in it about a girl called Taruk. Apparently Taruk and her family were in a group of Nomads. They moved around until they got to the Fertile Crescent (Near Egypt and Babylon) and Taruk saw a river. She had never swam in a river before. So she stepped into the river "and was immediately eaten by crocodiles and died."

I started giggling (Mum: "Jordan! You're laughing at poor Taruk?")

Oh no, Mother. Try as you might, you will never trip us up. I say 'us'...Emily thought it was real though... (What does that tell you?)

Hmm this blog has been a little bit too.......schoolworky....I should leave that up to Mum as she now has a blog....http://mummassoup.blogspot.com/, or there is a link on my sidebar...

And here is another entry from my diary of going around Australia 2004-2005.

Dear Diary

today we are at a place called Marys Pool its a nice place there heaps of rocks to clime on itso fun. But theres heaps of prikles bushs. i got a new drink bottle its cooler is Blue. We saw a Little dog its Like ours tesse but looked more like a poodle it was cute

Asher just came in the but he is gone now i don't know why i wright things lik that there very small fish here the other day we saw a stingray in fact we saw saw two it was cool (My gosh! How could I say that...the're not cool, they're so freakishly FREAKISH!) . i now to draw new pepole at the bottem of the page ill show you. by Jordan

Hmmmm. I actually like some of my vocab there. Pepole...hehe cool! At the 'bottem' of the page there is a rather crude drawing of a man with spiky hair, a large nose, and a whole lot of nose hair. He has four fingers. He's standing next to a circle with several shapes on it that could be land. It has three words under it. They say, this is erth.

Was it an improvement from my previous drawings? Who knows? *Sigh* Sometimes I feel like I'll never understand myself...

Mothers!

She warned us, over and over. Put on sunscreen, wear a good well-sleeved top, if necessary; a hat. She warned us, but now, the tides have turned...She's sunburnt and peeling!

Wellll, not really. It's actually a face mask. Although I was shocked when she came to me with it on. She looked like she had blood running down her face and it was all drying around her mouth, and the smell of slightly rotten oranges wifting fragrantly around her face. Still, we managed to get the mask off of her face in one piece. It sure looked weird. That flabby piece of, whatever it was, clinging half on, half off her face.

I was slightly disturbed.

Also, last night, I watched Star Wars 3 for the first time.

I cried.

But it wasn't my fault! See, Obi Wan and Anakin were fighting and Anakin is evil and Obi Wan has to kill him because he's turned to the dark side. And Anakin's dying and he's all angry and all, 'I hate you!' and Obi Wan's all, 'I loved you Anakin, you were like a brother to me.' And I'm all, 'Cry....'

Very depressing, I assure you. It might take me a while to get over this.

They Had Mothers, Too!

Samson's Mum: Your Father and I warned you about that woman. Now, look at you. Not only is your strength gone, but those curls! Those beautiful curls!

Noah's Mum: I'm not saying your ark isn't nice, Noah. I'm just saying it's a little big for you wood-shop project, don't you think?

Jonah's Mum: I don't care where you've been for three days, Jonah! You still should have called! And wipe your feet! You're dripping water everywhere!
