WOW.

I just saw Rise Against at the Horden Pavillion;
And it was the greatest night of my life!!!!

SURE... I accidently flashed the entire foyer while putting on my new rise against t-shirt
AND they didnt play paper wings or blood to bleed AND Dad was his usual over-protective self so not all our plans were put into action ;) ["MAGNETIC PARENT" as Rohan calls it =P] but it still ROCKED!!!!


It wouldn't have been the same without you, Bridget and Giv!!!! xoxo

I can barely move now but i guess thats how you know we had a great time! =P
There are some days you're glad to be alive.....

This is one of those nights!

By The Way...

In life, there are moments when you just have to be yourself.

And if "being yourself" means getting up and belting Mamma Mia in front of a third of year 10...


then that's exactly what you do!

Retreat Revelations...

I have to admitt i was more than a little cynical about my school's year 10 retreat.

I mean really, three days with a bunch of kids i don't tak to while we learn about "jesus" doesn't sound too life changing.

I was wrong.

The transformation of the people was amazing - sworn enemies let down their barriers and talked - it was like everyone had been posessed by the ghost of John Lenon!

I personally was one of these people.

I hated someone with every ounce of my being - and then discovered today that he didn't feel the same! [Even though he had every right to be]

I hope he was telling the truth.

If he was:
It was amazing.

Maybe there is hope for this very fucked-up world after all...

"Imagine all the people, living life in pea---ea-ea-eace...."
