Basically I'm Really Bored

I was on dictionary.com and an ad was on the page with a kid that looked exactly how I imagined Hassan to look as a baby:

Anyway guess what I'm doing? Procrastinating!! What else? :P Trying to delay doing this Kite Runner essay as long as possible. At this stage, I'll probably be trying to do it during double spesh tomorrow :)

Love, Julia

Bookworm

I just thought I'd post a picture of my lovely new bookcase which I built all by myself with no help at all :) not even to carry it up from the car hahah.

I think it was made for my room. Seriously. It fits perfectly between my door and my desk. Yay :D Today was the 3rd trip to Ikea just to get this bookcase. The first time we forgot to drive the stationwagon so it wouldn't have fit in our car and the second time 4 people came; Mum, Linley, me and Angela so it still wouldn't have fit since we couldn't put the back seats down. So finally today everything was fine. I love books. I really do. More than clothes. Maybe even more than shoes...mmm that's a close one...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Wooo it's 2008 ALREADY... how time flies! I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas and ended 2007 with a bang (or almost being hit by a car like Linley and I hahaha). I have to say this new year's eve was the best so far even though we didn't do anything super-special. We had lots of people over for dinner at ours including the Wade's...ate a lot (as always), watched a movie, stuck ferroro rocher stickers on our faces and took lots and lots of photos :D The best bit for sure was almost getting run over. We were lying on the road outside taking photos and looking at the stars when a car came up behind us..."CAR!!!" screamed Linley and with astonishing speed we ran to the sidewalk after I almost tripped over wearing one of Linley's ginormous thongs :P ahhh one of those unforgettable moments...LINLEY IS SO COOL! SHE IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD!

Can't believe 2007 is over :( Now I have to start holiday homework...and year 12 ugh...

New Year's Resolutions: take more photos, drink more water, read more books and eat more chocolate yay :D Already started all of them...Currently reading Area 7 by Matthew Reilly ($13 from Myer woot) and Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen (Christmas prezzie from Jon)...ooh and btw the movie Becoming Jane is really good and SO SADDDD!

Anyway, I'm really tired nowwww so I shall blog later... Planetshakers the day after tomorrow! Can't wait :D

Love Julia
