Awesome, I finish school mid November, and am planning on taking a trip to Sydney late November! =D

Aw, thanks guys. =] I was only doing preliminary dressage, so the movements weren't too complex. Just trot and canter circles, the occasional extension of the trot, both free and medium walks, and this really cool movement in which you trot a 20m circle whilst allowing the horse to take the reins from the hands and stretch downwards. Bonza's pretty good at that one. =] Ah, why do I have to catch a bus at 7:30am! lol http://www.raf.se/movie.asp?director=02jonas_akerlund&category=03Music_Videos&filename=49Mika_-_we_are_golden.mov Nah, he's still got the white shorts on, he just performs some...erm... questionable dance moves...

Aw, thanks guys! We did pretty well over the weekend. On Saturday (showjumping) we came 1st in Grand Prix, and 5th in both AM5 and TopScore, placing us 4th overall. Today (dressage and combined training[which is a combination of a dressage test and a jump round]), we placed 1st in our combined training dressage test, but completely bombed out in the jump round. Bonza decided the jumps were so small (40cm) that they were too scary to jump. So after three baulks, we were eliminated, placing us 6th or something overall. For the dressage, we got a 55.3% on the first test, and 60.0% on the second, placing us 8th overall. In the second test, we also received our first 8/10 for a movement! considering 7 is a pretty good mark for a movement, and I rarely see 8s, even on the best of riders tests, I was quite impressed with that. =] My littlest sister placed 4th overall in her dressage group, which was pleasing, since it was her first comp on her new pony. =] Awesome! =D I recognised the word, but use the term overalls more myself. =P Ubuntu isn't that difficult to use, I reckon it's just confusing at times, especially for people who've only worked with one OS all their lives. The one thing I do like about Ubuntu is the 'Force Quit' option. Add the icon to the taskbar, click it, then the misbehaving application, and it's gone! None of this waiting for it to respond crap. If I want it gone, it's gone, no questions asked. =]

Getting my first 8/10 score on a movement in my dressage test today made me happy! (7/10 and above don't happen that often, and 8s are quite rare!)

Right, back from yet ANOTHER trip to the ER. This time we had tingling and numbness under the cast. Turns out the bandaging was a bit tight after the surgery .So they loosened it, and she has plenty of sensation now. Unfortunately for me, they didn't unwrap it to the point where I could see the incision from the surgery. They just sliced the gauze and re-wrapped it. Agreed! Like I said to Mum this morning, telling a girl that she's not to hastle her sister is like telling a Maccas employee that they're not allowed to sell fries! Other than that, I'm really tired! I think I'm gonna sleep now, since I'm off to a showjumping comp with Bonza tomorrow morning. Night all. =]

Yeah, she's home now. She's also under the impression that because she has plaster on her leg she is exempt from all household chores/rules. Everything is back to normal. I got the impression that they were... Didn't ask them, though. I know that WoW consumes peoples' lives, though... --- It was quite funny. They've changed the OS image again this term... (Still Ubuntu, but a diferent version) I'm finding myself instructing the majority as to how to make it look remotely normal...lol --- Unfortunately, I know you'd understand. Extensive hospital visits suck. =| Aw, that's no good! Hope you feel better soon!

I do think that an appreciation thread is much deserved for our chief photoshopper. =]

Thanks guys. =] She was pretty out of it when I went to see her, which was more than likely the anaesthetic wearing off still. She now has five screws in her ankle. She was really pale, but had the awesomest bright green hospital gown! No fair, last time I had an operation (when I was nine, to have teeth removed), they were white, with the backs missing! I told her she should ask to keep it, and wear it as a souvenir...lol They're also thinking of keeping her until Saturday. Other than that, how are we all?

Haha, it's just funny, cos she's beginning to turn into a 'girl'. (something I'm yet to develop into...) They did opt for the surgery, and apparently she's just come out from under the anaesthetic. Going in to see her now. =]

Yeah, I went to see her this morning. She's all worried that her hair smells. It does, but I didn't tell her that. I had to leave before CT scan results came back, so I'm not sure whether she's off for surgery or not. She turned down the maths homework and the photo of myself that I took in for her...lol In other news, my friends and I are currently tracking down cheap accommodation and flights to Sydney for our "We graduated- yay" holiday. The end is creeping up on us quicker than I thought it would!

Nice! I'm sure the early start will be worth it! =] My sister broke her tibia (the larger bone in the lower leg) in two places today, riding her pony. He slipped and fell on her. So, they've kept her overnight, as they're not sure whether surgery is necessary as yet. I'm thinking I might go up to the hospital before school tomorrow, and catch a bus from there to school, since she has a CT scan at 8:30. I can miss first lesson, it's only religion anyway...

Sounds good to me! =D

IMO, there shouldn't be any problem with it. As it's been said, it has been publicly viewable before, and it's not like it has personal info in it or anything. If you need any help with putting something together, I, as usual, have nothing better to be doing, so let me know. =]

Haha don't worry, I almost did the same.

Naw, hope you enjoyed it. =] The differences in interstate holiday periods never ceases to amaze me... I've been at school for two weeks now...lol Actually, that reminds me- only five days until we get our report cards! We were supposed to get them over our break, but the teachers decided to give themselves an extension... Although I already know I got a B- in maths... Not happy about that one. I guess it's not that bad, but I average an A in maths, and the last exam I got 52% on, which was a C. To get an A, we need As in two criteria, and no less than a B in the third. Therefore, I was ineligible for my A. How sad. Looks like I'd better work hard making my chocolate crackles in Maths tomorrow... (this seems to be their futile attempt to interest the vast majority in critical path diagrams...)

Aw, this is at 8:55am Aussie time! Which means I will be either on a bus or in morning homeroom. No Wi-Fi in either of those places. Hopefully someone will record it. (Is that allowed?)

I hope so! (since I never seem to get lyrics right either...lol)

Yeah, I said that a few pages ago, but it appears to have been lost...lol I think this version of the line makes more sense. =]

Teegan! Good to see you back online! =D Surprisingly they didn't... Although they did laugh at me when we did the gaming session... I seemed to be the only one there without extensive online shooting game experience...lol Frankly, yes. We did have windows XP, but apparently Microsoft charges a licensing fee for all the PCs that run windows, and apparently they can't afford it,(something about catholic schools not receiving government funding...) so they went for freeware... Personally, I think it's hilarious, since they're having to teach the entire school how to work with a new OS, since their (pathetic) attempt to make it look and behave like Windows failed...lol

I'm hearing Now I’m sitting alone I’m finally looking for help Left here on my own I’m gonna hurt myself Maybe losing my mind I’m still wondering why Heaven left the world and let it bleed me dry

I do think it's an old version of the single... It seems too similar to the official WAG cover to be the album cover... Bigger:

Oh, does she? I'll go see if I can help her. Thanks! =]

I did. =] http://www.zshare.net/audio/629153989964ae85/ I had nothing better to do than my Biology... which happens to be very nearly finished! Only have to put in my in-text referencing now! =D Edit- Ah, I was beaten to it! lol

I uploaded the Radio 2 one here. Unfortunately, I had to edit out the track to comply with forum guidelines, though. =] http://www.zshare.net/audio/629153989964ae85/
