Dear British Boy

I had a lovely time talking to you at the tram stop, and then on the tram, and then as we got off the tram, but it was sad that you had to disappear just as quickly as you had appeared.

You probably felt more at home in the cold, and I was jealous of your cool jacket- it looked warm, and was very stylish.

It made me smile when you made a joke at your own expense- after you looked at the tram timetable RIGHT as a tram came into sight.

I hope my directions helped, and i hope you managed to find your way to St. Kilda alright.

Your accent is adorable.

Much love,
The girl on the tram.

positive.

Sometimes, it seems like everything is going badly and there's nothing you can do about it.

I've felt like that numerous times in the past week.

The most recent time was yesterday. I did horribly in a test (that was actually an essay), I felt sick and nervous, I was tired and some people were annoying the hell out of me.

That was all before 12.15. Just past midday.
Because for the next twenty minutes or so, I was in a kickarse interview with my school principal and a few other teachers.

After that, my school day was done and I headed home. HOME!
Then i realised that even if i thought the interview went well, I was still tired, sick, exhausted, annoyed....so then I felt the same as I had earlier in the day. PLUS i found out i had to go a babysit. Children do not always cure temporary depression.

However, when I got home I found out that I got a job at my radio station that I had applied for. That was last night.

This morning, I found out that I got SCHOOL CAPTAIN.

This evening, my footy team won.

Today was the last day of school for 2 weeks.

The last twenty four hours have been very, very awesome.

Rainbow Fish.


"To have joy, one must share it" - Lord Byron

The Rainbow Fish, a book by Marcus Pfister is wondeful. I have book mark with Rainbow Fish and that quote on it, which really does make my day. The story and quote are beautiful and honest concepts, which I can't help but love! So, find some joy, and share it!

HELLO 2008.

I was sitting on the train today, thinking about the Australian girl who, whilst on a train in America writing in a journal, caught the eye of an American boy, who decided she was the girl of his dreams, and set up a blog to find her. I've no idea whether they maintained a relationship or not, but I thought it was pretty damn romantic.

So, whilst sitting on the train, I decided I should write whilst traveling more often. Maybe this way I could find the boy of my dreams. Though often it becomes easier to write on here, or type, than handwrite whilst squished between other people within a rattling train carriage. So, I did in fact come across a few flaws in my plan to woe the boy of my dreams.

Firstly, the boy sitting next to me was definitely not that boy. And from where I was seated, none of the other boys in eyesight were that boy either. Clearly the most major flaw.

The second flaw, was that I was lost for ideas as to what to write. I decided that my french needs improving, so I began to scribble away in my notebook, random tidbits of 'francais' that is most likely severely grammatically incorrect.

Another flaw, was that another boy that was definitely not the boy of my dreams, appeared to be watching me. Now, it's probably a little silly of me, to be writing away with the purpose of attracting the boy of my dreams, only to get grumpy when someone actually watches. But see, my notebook was tilted AWAY from the general public of the train. I'm certain he was trying to read what I had written via the reflection in the window. But maybe I'm wrong.

Maybe it only works in America.
So, I'll have to wait till my trip later this year to test my theory.
I have serious doubts.
But maybe I'll continue to ramble in french on paper, incase it attracts the boy of my dreams.
