    :) YOU ARE GREAT SUMMER :D:D Thanks lots, I really like your suggestions, and I think I'll use some of them :)

    The one about "Who will love you for eternity" is great ;) thats right, no girl likes to think there's gotta be an 'end'... silly me. And I also love the suggestion for the last line "Show the world how great you can be"... I like that, its a very positive closing for this poem and it works great :) Thanks for much for pointing them out to me :) ....for the other parts I'll leave them the way it is for now, I have all the time till Wednesday to change this poem before I print it out :)

    Sadly, today Im working on assignment... DURING MY HOLIDAY TIME!!!! oh why.... oh well, I'll get it started and get it finished today hopefully :) How did your tests go??

    Arrr... I guess it was an easy assignment... in fact it was, I finished the main part in 3 hours, but by the look of thing it'll take another 3 hours to tidy up the loose ends. Just to satisfy your curiosity ;) that assignment is about something called RMI... that stands for Remote Method Invocation... somthing to do with computer network passing bits and things around the place... feeling sleepy yet?? I know I am :D Strange thing about Uni assignment is that they never make sense when you do them... but somehow after you hand them in they all falls into places... :S

    Yeah, I too hate losing big marks for a small mistake... back in my days they used to have consequential marking where a small mistake at the start would mean nothing if everything else was right :) Great isn't it?? pitty they took it out :( it hit my students hard as well. I used to get 90s in maths back in my highschool years before 7 form... then suddently when I got to 7 form my grade droped to 70~80s... maybe I was wagging too much :D... it was funny, I came 2nd top at math in my school in the 7 form year, my grade was 79 while the top was 99.... I can still remember that girl said "ohhh, it was a silly mistake"....

    Tirg and Pythagoras?? Trust me, they are easy... I think I understood them after I left highschool... :D jokes, Im not that bad. Hey, if you ever get the chance, ask your teach a question for me, ask him "What is sin, cos and tan?"... my old maths teacher told me they are ratios... but till now, I still don't really know :(

    LOL, me smart??? don't know where you got that from... just because I have to learn about computers doesn't make me smart... in fact, I feel kinda dumb for taking the paper :S oh well, life goes on ;) hey, come to think of it... its good to be smart and dumb at the same time... when you are smart, you can teach people things and help them out... when you are dumb, you let other do the work and be happy about it :D I believe my IQ changes with situation... last year I had a group assignment and no one in the group knows what they are doing so... I ended up doing it all... now Im having another group assignment, and I have one really smart dude me my group and this time, I play the dumb part :D

    Yeah, trig and pythagoras are easy... *sigh* how I wish my students are as bright as you... 15 questions in 15 minutes... but once again, if they are as good as you are, why would they need me?? :D

    And as for the "Does the lyrics and tune of Music affect the way you act and feel?" thing... my opinion is, yes. I have a few points on this, so hopefully I won't bored you to sleep with them...

    * First, I believe there was a experiment done studying people's brainwave while they listen to music, discovery from that was people's brainwave while listening to Mozart is very similar to the brainwave when you are learning/studying, hense it will help you to study better if you listen to Mozart at the same time.

    * There is also a myth about letting a baby listen to classical music can increase their intelligence by 10%.

    * People adapt to their surrounding, if you constantly listen to songs with swear words in you'll eventially start to swear too...

    * Music, just like poetry, potrays emotion, and they can bring across love, hate, joy, pain... you name it... some poems can make people cry and thats the same with music.

    * Slow music can make you feel relax/sleepy, don't listen to them while driving... I fell asleep once... on the motorway....

    Thats all from me for now... if you need more, tell me, and I'll see if I can dig up more points from head. ;)

    Shocks, sorry for getting back to you so late, I've being running around like a headless chicken yesterday trying to get the photo and poem thing made, it wasn't as easy as I thought it would be, first, her dad forgot to sent her photos to me, then I found out my scanner no longer works... when I finally got everything in the computer it was about 9:30 and was try to finish it as fast as I can since the printer is in my parent's room... I did the editing 3 times, first on my sister's comp, then when I transfer the files to my comp I found the font I used was missing so I changed the way it looked... then when I finally got to my parents' comp everything looked different again!!!!! arrrr... I managed to get it printed out at 11:00 :S sorry mum and dad :D Hey if you would like to see what it looks like I'll sent it to your email... yes???

    So you doing the pracitce speech tomorrow?? what do you mean by practice speech?? do you have to say much?? Personally I found "Does music triggers your memory" a bad topic because it is so obvious YES, but if you have your mind set on it, then make it happen :D you go girl, being as smart as you are Im sure you can make a good speech out of it :)

    Are you guys allowed to use props in your speech?? if yes then you can play a piece of music somewhere in your speech to add a different "flavour" to your speech.... maybe talk about some silly kids songs to add about more fun into the topic... :S I guess those ideas are not really helping :S

  • Allen

    Yep, I've just sent the email over :) I hope the text displays alright, it was looking different on every computer I tried on :S

    Wow, by the sound of things, you are like in a super smart English class... I guess it has its good sides and bad sides... I can see the bad... not sure about the good :S I always hated things that must be done in class time, Im like REALLY braindead when Im put on the spot to write an essay straight away, what I normally do is to write one at home and memorise it :D I think for my 6th form English exam I memorised about 10 different essays... crazy I know...

    Yeah, "Music Is A Time Machine" sounds much better as a title, really, "Does music bring back memories?" sounds like a silly question, but with this new title its no longer a question and it would be more persuasive from the start. Hey, all I can say right now is good luck :) I know you'll do well :)

    My goodness, organising a 21st thing sucks... right now Im keeping it to my closest friends, cause if I invite one of my other friends that means I'll need to invite like 10 extra people :S so right now I have including myself 8 people for my 21st :D.... I have a few games I can play... twister.... hide and seek in the dark (great fun, trust me).... but I need more, do you have any ideas on what to do in a party??? :)

    My birthday party went great :) we ate food, played games, and chat :) every just left... its 1am in the morning, *sigh* out of no where, Im feeling a bit down, my best friend was there and when she's gone it feels.. a bit empty... I think Im going to tell her how I feel about her really soon... maybe when her holiday starts...

    ....oh the amount of tidy up is scary... Im gotta get to bed now and clean up the mess tomorroe.

    hey not to worry Summer, I have had busy days like that before and I know what that feels like :S I think there was about a 2 weeks period during the earlier half of the year where my life was filled with assignments and tests :( and damn, it was not cool. I would leave home at 6am in the morning and get back around 10pm :S some life ey!!!

    I know what you mean by speech got faster at school... it always happens to me, its so annoying, I think when I present my speech in front of the class I get a bit nervous and tend to go a bit faster than I practised :S hehe, but what can I say :D oh well...

    I had the most..... interesting day yesterday, first in the morning my right feet got hurt from having a friend landed on it with his knee... then my left leg got cut from a stupid lecture table... and finally last night I hurt my left feet during my judo class... arrr, getting x-ray on it today... I have to say, it sucks having to hop around the place... but funny tho :D

  • Allen
    19 years ago

    Arrr... I hate those annoy days when everyone and everything seems to get in your way, nothing goes right.... damn I feel sucky just thinking about it!!! Those are normally the days when I grab tons of junk food and sit in front of the and tv eat my life away... don't recommend that method to you tho... you'll feel worse when you jump on the scale later on in the week :S

    Hey best of luck for your test tomorrow... oh damn, I feel shitty too, I got stuck at home all day hopping here and there, and now my parents are back from ski trip, they are trying to put all kinds of strange things on my ankle..... good god.... I do want ankle to heal before Saturday... I made a date to go clubbing with my best friend... don't think it would look very cool for me to hop around in the club :S.... :D:D:D:D

    *Sigh* I organised this group to go clubbing last night and on the last minute my best friend pulled out (I was very disappointed...) saying she's got a sore back, then when me and all the other ppl had dinner we found out my other best mate lost his driver's license and forgot his passport... well, around 10pm that night 3 girls from the group decided to go home cause they were tired... and that leave just me and my close friends, which is cool but then we all felt bad having to leave my mate behind... so we didn't end up going clubbing.. did that make sense?? It was kinda funny cause I brought my sis along and she was all dressed up :D

    Arrr... good school holiday :) that means no teaching for me for 2 weeks :D:D:D:D Im such a lazy tutor :) ... damn, that means no income for 2 weeks :S.... I guess I gotta live off my saving for a short while.... can't buy junk food anymore :(

    You go Summer, exercise are good for you :) I try to fit in about 1 hour of them every morning, they really wake you up and keep you feel refreshed through out the day :) oh yeah, it is also a very good anti-depressant, so if you ever feel crappy, ;) do some exercise :)

    Hey GoldenTear :) are you going to visit your friend sometime?? NZ is not best place to come if you are into fun parks and things like that... but we do have.... errrr.... damn, what do we have??? :S..... sheep :) lol, we may not have much, but I love this place :)

    Ohhhh, why move to California Alysse??? NZ is a cool place.... but hey, its good to see you wanting to be random :D:D:D randomness is a bliss... HEY LOOK, I can see a computer screen!!!!!......

    well, clubbing is the combination of very loud music, dark, dancing and place with lots of people... I was not really the type that is into dancing and clubbing but well, the girl I have a crush on just so happens to like dancing so I thought I'd better start learning a few moves :D.... err. I still look horrible on the dance floor tho :D.... Do you like dancing Summer?? ....clubbing is quite fun if you with the right people, a mate of mine is great at dancing and he just lightens up everyone when he's there... well, when he's not being a pain that is ;)

    lol, I want a flatter stomach too!!! :D it comes with exercise and good diet I think, I only have exercise... so I only got half of that so yeah :/ still working on it ;) its scary, my mate is catching up to me on our weight lose/fitness plan... damn, can't let him beat me :D

    Rosewell :) I liked that TV show... pitty how I don't get much time to watch it them now, oh there was this other TV show that I just loved.... I've forgotten the name, but it was about this girl that can talk to God, oh it was such a cool program :) do you know which show Im talking about???

  • Allen
    19 years ago

    Oh my goodness, I so agree with TV news thing, just today I was listening to the radio and there was this news about couple bet up their baby and later slam the baby into the front of car trying to make the beating look like an accident... !@#$!@#, that was PURE SICK!!!! I can't believe there are people that do that kind of things, arrrr... and yeah, there were also lots of other horrible news which I learnt from the news paper and things and yeah, I really wish those new weren't true but they are..... this world is sick.....

    Which episodes of rosewell have I seen?? tell you the truth, I don't know, I've seen quite a number of them but always with gaps in the middle :( ...and Im really bad at remembering character's name so I have no idea which one is Tess... is she the blonde girl??? But yeah :) it is kinda funny that you throw things at the TV when she comes on :D lol

    Its funny cause most of the girls like dancing while its the guys that gets shy on the dance floor. The first time I went clubbing I just kept one idea in mind "Dance like no one's looking" and it was great :D it worked well and I surely had fun, hey I may look a bit weird but yeah, its better than standing still and not doing anything ;) Yeah,, it would be cool if someone can teach me how to dance but I guess right now all I can do is watch and learn :D

    You were chubby when you were little?? Same here :D lol, I think I was really chubby when I was around the age of 10 or so, then I started doing so exercise and was looking fit when I about the age of.... 16... 17.. or 18... but then I got really depressed for a period of time and that got me into some kind of eating disorder and I was looking horrible... that was about last yeah :(... but this year I got over things and back on to exercise and is getting to looking fit again :D

    LOL, Im so stupid, I thought my ankle was getting better so I started playing squash and judo and exercise.... and now its hurting again... lol, serve me right since everyone else did tell me to give it a break :D

  • Allen
    19 years ago

    Wow, cool, this post has been going on for a good month and half :D haha, I guess I'll take the 101 post ;) yayyyyyyyyyyy!!!!! Lol, this post started being a search for all NZ poets but turned into our little message board :D hehe, I think this is quite cool.... hmm... so far I've only come across 4 NZ poets, you, me, Alysse, and humbleMonkey (who I know in person)... where are all the other talented NZ poets???

    Hehe, I guess Tess must do some real good acting ;) there has been a few characters on TV which I just absolutely hate, I hope those ppl are not really like that in real life ;)

    Well, as for the eating disorder I had... that made me go over weight :S damn it was annoy trying to loss it afterwards. Whenever I feel down I grab food and eat just for the sake of eating, stupid but yeah, ....very stupid in fact... my sister is the opposite, she stops eating when she's feeling down, man, how I wish I can be like her, it would make my fitness plan so much easier :D

    Hmm... as for my ankle... its a little strange, I feel no pain when Im "using" it but when I stay still the pain cuts in... so it kinda makes me want to move around a bit more... how weird. Well, being a guy, I guess I'll always be abit stupid on looking after myself :D lol.

    So have you planned anything fun/exciting for your holiday?? When I was in mine... I think I just slept and ate and did just about nothing... it was not the best holiday cause some of my mates had to work, some were away and some were not on holiday :( but oh well, I guess in another 2 Month time I'll be on another holiday :D hehe, just can't wait.

    Howdy hey! LOL. I'm so lame.

    I'm going paintballing tomorrow...I'm a little bit scared. I heard it hurts...A LOT. Oh well. A lil pain never hurt anyone...wait, what did I just say? LOL. That is one of the dumbest sentences I've ever formed in my life...

    I was so annoyed this morning...I dunno why...well, actually I DO know why I just don't want to admit it...:)

    Did you know, I was looking at my friends poems, and this nasty other girl left such a mean comment on it, I almost wrote a nasty one back...but, she doesn't know I'm on this site so, I decided maybe not. Ok I'm rambling.

    I'm watching J2 and 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun' is on it...LOL. It's funny. Eighties...

    I was listening ot 'She will be loved' and 'Accidentally in love' before and I really really love those songs!!

    Ok, I think I better go to sleep, it's almost midnight and I'm being random. I'm not stoned or anything I swear! LOL . I'm so random tonight...

    Wish me luck (and pray to God I don't break anything on my body tomorrow!!)

    Hi there Jackie :D don't see you around here often ;)

    Paintballing sounds really cool, I've always wanted to do that but the cost of it was always an issue :( and then its the stories which I've heard about it... people getting shot at interesting places :S... but hey, you know the saying, "no pain no gain"... errr... just what would you gain from it ??? :D I guess fun and lot of bruises ;) Hey, I wish you well, and have fun :D

    Well, I think Im annoyed every morning... at myself :D, I have to get up at 5:30am the latest so in order to achieve that once my alarm clock wakes me up at 5 I would turn my light on, trust me, the light is not the thing you would want to see so early in the morning... eventually I would give in to that torture and get out of bed :D lol, it works like a charm.

    LOL, its so stupid, yesterday I skipped 2 lectures so I can study for the test Im having tomorrow... I bet that would be the first time you hear ppl do that kind of thing... skip classes to study... :D... its strange, lately I just feel so lazy on the study thing... well everything really, I have so many things I should be doing but not doing... :S oh well...

    Yayyyyy, random is good, random is cute, random is FREEEEE!!!!... sorry, just my randomness crying out from within ;) Im random most of the time, Im not sure if thats a good thing or not... I should control my randomness, tame that beast *whipshhhhh*..... lol

  • Allen
    19 years ago

    :( so the stories I've heard are most likely to be true... are you feeling okay now??? Someone told me that a guy got hit in the middle of his throat and talked like a girl for about a week, and another got hit somewhere very important (you know where) and was sore for also about a week :S..... but is sounds like so much fun tho :D I really want to try it :D... me and my mates once booked out laser strike for the whole night from 10pm to 6am, it only cost $20 each and it was AWESOME!!!! we not only had laser strike for the whole night we also had games of air hocky :D it was just great, I think I'll have to organsie another one at the end of this year :D:D

    Anyway, Im off to my Judo class to "have fun"... hope your bruises and sore parts heal soon :) take care summer.

  • Allen
    19 years ago

    lol, I was watching that show as well :D my goodness, I felt like such a pig last night, I invited Rochelle (my best friend) over and after dinner me, Roch and my sis when out and bought pizza and chips, we set in the family room ate and watched a movie.... lol, it was cool, but I should really be on a diet ;)

    LOL that team that you liked, did they come second?? because I wanted they to win too :D their texi driver was cutting corners and driving on the parts where he shouldn't be driving... it was cool, but yeah... :( sorry they lost.... lol

    Ohhh cool, I like costume party, my ex's 21st was a costume party and I went as the "Phantom of the Opera", Rochelle went as "Cat in the Hat" (is it the right name??) and she ever made a tail!!!! :D it was so cute :)

    Oh that laser strike was just the best, but very tiring tho, imaging running around for 2 hours none-stop, short break, then another 2 hours :D... it was in a dark room with neon light but no matter where you go you'll run into ppl so it can't be too scary :)

    ARRRRR... this morning I found 83 messages in my inbox saying "Message Delivery Failed".... someone hacked into my email and used that to sent stupid advertising to ppl... GRRRRRRRR.... I just changed the password but still pissed off, I wonder if they sent those advers to ppl in my address book or not... if yes I guess I'll need to apologise.... stupid hackers....

  • Jackie Bilson
    19 years ago

    Oh that sucks. I hate it when my account gets hacked.

    I skipped my exercise routine today...I guess I have to do a 1 hour one tomorrow. *sigh* oh well, watching music videos while I do bench presses and sit ups doesn't sound too bad. It might actually even be fun...I don't know why i didn't do it today!

    Oh! It's because I was playing on The Sims! I'm totally obssessed. I made one for EVERYONE! LOL. Well, people in my class anyway.

    I had the weirdest dream last night. I am famous for my elaborate dreams. LOL. In my group of friends anyway..I have car chases, time travelling and things that make you feel like your watching a movie. LOL. And the best part is I remember it pretty accurately.

    I had a dream about an ex last ngiht. Made me feel...I dunno, sad and happy and confused at the same time. It scared me a little bit when I woke up because I was SO sure it was real. Have you ever had a dream like that? I like dreams. They amke you step into a world where ANYTHING can happen.

  • Allen
    19 years ago

    LOL, yeah, I get into those lazy days too, every holiday I would end up not doing exercise... I don't know why... I guess my body and mind just needs to have a rest ;) ... lol, excuses I know :D... but yeah, I find it best if I can make up a plan and stick to it :D Im not the type of person that like plans but if I don't have one I'll end up not doing any exercises at all :/

    Hehe, Sims :) my sister got really into that game at one stage and then got over it... just like any games she plays, lol, I really liked that game but then I lost the CD... I think I lend to someone and that someone I can't remember who... :S

    Talk about weirdest dream, I had the worst... I had a dream where my mate ran away and I ended up with his gf :S and half way through the dream I realised it "was not right" so I too tried to run away.... what'd a mess, lucky it was only a dream :S:S:S:S

    My mates told me something really disturbing... I won't share it cause its just too much... :( but I just want to say "THIS WORLD IS SICK!!!!!!!!!".... oh on a much less disturbing part, remember that couple that beat up their baby?? well, when being asked about it the father claim that all the bruises and cuts on the baby were caused by "super natural power"..... how stupidily sad and very funny,..... lol

  • Jackie Bilson

    Wow, I'm getting worse and worse at replying aren't I? LOL. School has just started today and already I'm behind....LOL. I have to complete my french assessment and my social studies assessment by friday. They're relatively easy it's just that they're so boring and I haven't got much to say! Ugh.

    How are you Allen? How's life treating you? I'm bored out of my mind. I do however, know that I have a very big thing I wanna do by next year. I wanna lose weight and get taller! I'm so sick of being short! I'm about 5'4 and it's so annoying because I always get people calling me shorty...my dad's about 5'9-5'10 but my mum is about 5'3-5'2

    Do you think I can reach at least 5'7? that's my height goal...5'7-5'8...as long as I get lots of sleep right?

    Do you know any good diets by the way?

    LOL. I probably sond really weird and crazy obsessed with the way I look....it's jsut that I'm going to be 16 next year and I found a diary of mine from primary and I wrote 'I can't wait till 2005! By then I'm sure I would look really great!' and I mean, I'm not totally unfortunate train wreck looking but, I don't wanna disappoint my 9 year old me! LOL. Do you get what I mean?

  • Allen
    19 years ago

    LOL, good to hear from you again Jackie ;) You know, being short is not really all that bad... most of the guys I know of love short girls... and being short means you'll be okay dating a short guy which takes up quite a bit of the male population :D.... short often equals cute ;) so don't feel bad about it :D.... as for how to grow taller.... I don't really know, and I am not sure if lots of sleep is going to help ;) if you're growing, you grow, if you've stopped growing... yeah.... :) Don't feel down about it :D Im sure you look great the way you are.

    Hmm... good diet?? The only good diet I've ever been on was for 1 week I ate nothing but just salads... and combined with exercise it helped me to loss weight... but after that I didn't go on to any other kind of diet. I think as long as you keep up consistant exercsie you should be fine... oh yeah, try eat lots for breakfast, normal for lunch, and little for dinner... and DON'T eat junk food before you go to bed ;) I learn that the hard way :D:D

    Hehehe, at the start of the year I told myself I would look good by the end of the year... I think I don't want to disappoint my old self so.... I just won't look at the mirror :D lol, Im getting to be fit once more :) so Im some what happy about it.

    Life for me right now... is great, sucky, busy, confusing, annoying... all at the same time... old issues stayed and lucky none of the new ones came along :) Soon I'll be getting into the exam times :S really not looking forward to it... I can feel the stress already.. :(

    Anyway, I'd better get back to my assignments :/ Catch you later Jackie :)

    YAEEEEEEEE!!! Good on you for getting that excellence on your speech ;) that's something I don't think I'll ever achieve :D I think I was alway on the average of 60% for English, not to good, not too bad....

    Oh man, I have just found out that I have only 2 more weeks of Uni left for this year... that means exam are EXETREMELY close :S AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRr.... I have so much assignments to do and things to study for... its not good when you skip classes... cause you'll have to learn the things by yourself... and right now I have to learn just about a whole paper by myself :S serve me right...

    Today Im supposed to type up my CV so I can start on job huntting soon.. but my lazyness got the best of me :/ oh well, it'll be done sometime :D Anyway, have fun at the wedding :) Tell me what it was like ;)

    Hey Summer, I'll miss you,... lazy me, I haven't even checked out much of your poems yet :(.... maybe you can post your art under a different name or something like that. Just who is this "person" anyway?? I would hate if someone I don't like joins this site and reads my poems... Well, at least I can still hear about you through Jackie :) its a good thing to have friends on here :D Please ask Jackie to tell me more detail, I don't often see her around :)

    I have only been to one wedding in my life and it was very romantic, arrr :) can't wait till I find the one to spend my life with :) lol, just had a random thought, I wonder what my mates would think if they see what I say on here.... oh well, they think Im strange and random anyway :D actually, lol, I do know what they would say :D one of them read one of my love poem and made a comment ;) oh that comment cracks me up big time.

    Anyway, I'll need to go and write a card for my mate's bday today, take care Summer, drop in and say hi sometime :)

    :) Well, I think New Zealand is a great place... well, it has everything, its ups and downs, in turns of technology and development it maybe a little bit behind compare to places like US but you can get some really nice country places around here :) Oh yes, if you like outdoor advanter :D we have things like white water rafting, black water rafting, mountian biking, 4 wheel drive and lots of other things :D ...rumer has it that Orlando Bloom got injured from playing too much of those while they were shooting LOTR 3 ...

    :( no, I have not done the hang-gliding thing off a mountain, but they look wicked cool tho :D wouldn't mind giving it a try sometime.... and the very sad thing is that I have not done any hiking :S how strange is that !!! My and my mates talked about it a while back but we are short of equipments and experienced ppl, I think I'll definately give that a try asap :D As for the LOTR cast... I am not a big fan on any of the casts... so yeah :D. What kind of out door things have you done before??

  • Allen
    19 years ago

    Oh it so sad the there are so many cool things in NZ that I has just not tried yet... hehe, as for bungee jumping... Im a bit too chicken for that one ;) and the cost for a 10 second drop is just a bit too much... I have done river rafting twice... I think... my memory fails me from time to time... but either way, I loved it :D the funny thing is every time I would hope to see someone fell out :D but it never happened :D white water rafting is what we call it. I did black water rafting once, take a guess of what that is.... no idea?? :) its kinda like rafting but instead of going on a river you go underground into the caves, kinda spooky and cool, its exciting in a whole new different way :) hehe, as for LOTR?? sorry to say, Im not totally crazy about it :D but I loved the movie tho ;)

    Lol, my hobbies would sound pretty lame, I love reading fantasy books, writing poems (when inspired), playing computer games (lol, no suprise there), hang out with friends, play pool (even tho I suck), play sports... I like most sports, talk rubbish to my mate, study :S... I had to do it so much that it counts as a hobbie... :(.... but yeah, doesn't really sound that exciting ey?

    How about you, what are your hobbies??

    Just recently I read a book call "Dealing with a Dragon" and oh my goodness it was so funny :) its like a fantasy and comedy combined... I've forgotten the author's name, but once I get hold of it, I'll tell you about it :D.... I got this thing about dragons... I just love reading stories with them in it :D

    Oh yes, I forgot to mension, I also love judo and music :)

    :) Judo is a form of martial art, rather than punching and kicking, in judo we learn how to throw people :D I only started doing it this year. It is funny, people told me Judo means "the gentle way" but.... in the past 7 month, I have had more bruises than I've had all of my life!!!! A while ago, I used to learn karate... it was so boring, all you ever do is punch and kick air... and the cost to learn it was just ridiculous... now judo, its much more physical, more fun, and every lesson only costs... about $1 US :D:D:D:D:D

    I like all kinds of music, the more I listen to one, the more I'll like it :D Back in high school time I was really into classical music, now I listen to more pop.... I don't really have a favourite singer or band, I like different songs from different groups, for example, "In the End" by Linkin Park, "The voice within" by Christina Aguilera, "Where is the love" by Black Eyed Peas.... so yeah, :) strange mix :)

    :) well, with Judo... Skills yes, but strength, not really :D tha's whats cool about judo, you are meant to use other person's force and catch the moment when they are off balance... I would say Im physically stronger than most of the people in the judo club... but all of the guys there can beat me :S but hey, its still fun. So what kind of martial art does your cousin do??

    :D I listen to music at the worst time possible, try 2 hours before setting an exam... and all the way through the exam all I can think of is "~~~I tried so hard, and got so far~~~ in the end, it doesn't even matter~~~~"

    So I guess you would be at the last year of high school right?? What do you plan to do next year?? University??

    Cool, Im in college as well, or so called University, currently Im 3rd year into my degree in Software Engineering... and sometimes I wonder "WHY WAS I THINKING WHEN I CHOOSE THIS DEGREE!!!" but yeah, life goes on, and only 1 more year to go before it all ends :D:D:D

    So what degree are you doing??? I too loved the transition from high school to college, :D I have lost count on the number of classes I slept in or skipped ;) bad bad example :D
