What's meant to be will always find a way.

WICKED.

If you minus two days, I just had the best 11 days of my life.

All the days sort of blur together so I'm getting hella good at forgetting what I did all day.

It's kinda a combination of hanging out in Penrith Plaza (which is not Penrith Plaza at all, but Westfield Plaza, or something equally communist) and spending lots of money on things i didn't need, walking down Grays Lane, buying belly bars from Cranebrook Villiage Shopping Centre, eating Maccas for lunch, loving Dodger, obtaining home loans from Wizard, buying games, meeting the randoms that my aunt picked up in town, walking to the corner of the street at 9 p.m to get reception on my phone, meeting Tim and Adam and Marc and Donnelle, watching Pirates 2 and Superman Returns and despising both, blowing the power at the place we were staying, needing double socks most of the time, watching Luke (David's brother) run into a pole (sort of), freaking out about all the birds everywhere, walking around town with Chris, another Luke, this girl and David trying to get the girls labret pierced and also trying to return an OC Box Set, pulling up my pants constantly cause i brought the wrong belt, imaginary horses in the paddock beside where we were staying and the 5 sheep across the road, David being sneaky with a Rubik's cube, a bright yellow jumper, making a Woody teddy bear called Norz, going to a Portuguese restaurant and eating cube chips, invisible ink graffiti, stuffed toys out the front of a house, an elaborate alien terrorist plan, a very short and informative visit to the Museum of Fire, being hooligans in the back of a BMW convertible, wrapping David up in a hammock, the disco hallway in his house, coco pops for breakfast, watching Arthur and The Shak and Eurovision, exploring David's jungle of a backyard and lots of kissing.

I could hold your hand.

f i v e d a y s .

So, just in case you are part of the .146 percentile who has not heard, I'm going to jump on one of these things

on Tuesdee night and after 4000 k's and 6 hours, I'll be bouncing around the arrivals department of Sydney's Domestic Terminal (T2 - just in case you wanted to know. Yizzle. I've totally researched the helk outta that Airport. Did you know they've just opened a Bonds store inside?) with a face like this

and also like this

so it will be an interesting combination.

And after that I'll slot some

into a machine and train it up to that lovely stop Penrith (after passing places like Rooty Hill and Doonside) and take my second ever Sydney-side cab and be about 30 minutes away from David.

One a scale of 1 to 10 thats pretty freaking wicked.

So I wanna say thank-you to alla y'all who have stood by and put up with my constant bragging and references and distraction and obsession and most of all I wanna say a huge thank-you for being happy for me, and being the most awesome friends and for being so excited with me and allowing me to express alotta this happiness.

You guys are tre awesome.

I love you like a kitty loves sunlight.

And we all know what that kinda love gets you.

CRAP SOUVENIRS!

Wish me safe travels and self control.

Bless the Day he Came to Be.

angels wings carried him to me.....

Seeing a car crash is weird scary.

They've kinda become a normal occurrence (which is scary in itself. When is it okay for something so essential in modern life to be so damn dangerous?) and now all over the world 2 cars crash every 60 seconds.

This morning there was a car that had hit another at an intersection, and was thrown straight into the traffic light, knocking it over.

Glass, twisted metal and gravel.

A fire truck, two police cars and one ambulance surrounded the two vehicles-

each car passing the intersection slowed and necks craned out car windows.

I think I'm always going to feel shattered after seeing a car accident. Even if there's no death or injuries, I'm always reminded of how risky being on the road is. I'm more than sure that half of the people in the accidents were completely accomplished and safe drivers.

But it's all chance and timing. There's no way of knowing, not until you can't do anything to stop it.

I don't want to understand why we accept cars so much when they result in so many problems.

Tiny white crosses with flowers (plastic; they last longest, you don't need to replace them) seem so forlorn. There's no names or dates any more, and the colour has faded.

When I was younger, I used to think they marked the graves of pets, because there seemed to be the perfect amount of ground to hold a dog or a cat.

Seeing them now, for a few seconds I'm overwhelmed at the thought that horsepower and convenience means something much more important is lost.

Belletristic Paperbacks


A Girl Could Stand Up by Leslie Marshall AMAZING debut novel. It's a giant volume, but it chronicles a girl's life from the freak death of her parents to her marriage to her 'imaginary' friend Raoul.

Antonio S and the Mystery of Theodore Guzman by Odo Hirsch Eccentric story of a boy who delves into acting because of the retired actor who lives down the hall.

Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson Whoo we HAD to read this book in year 5 and i actually cannot remember the plot, all i know is that i liked it.

Dear Miffy by John Marsden This book recieved heaps of criticism because the word 'fuck' appears too frequently. This book needs swearing. It's tragic and beautiful.

Don't Pat the Wombat by Elizabeth Honey Another book from primary school, where a bunch of kids go on school camp and they discover the new kid Jonah is more complicated than they thought.

Fight Club by Chuck Palahnuik Yeah, okay so it might be cliche. Nevertheless, this book is so overwhelmingly defeatist. After you read it, you're just glad you're breating.

Finding Cassie Crazy by Jaclyn Moriarty Okay, so I'm a sucker for teen girl novels. SO WHAT.This is an exceptionally well written and sweet novel.

Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh Harriet was my idol for so long, she was adventurous, smart, had a great connection with Ole Golly and wanted to be a reporter. This book is just completely fun.

How to make a Bird by Martine Murray My favourite book by an Australian writer.

Jinx by Margaret Wild Another written in verse, but by different characters. It's about loss and love and identity.

Looking for Alibrandi by Melina Marchetta Everytime i read this book "With or Without You" plays in my head.Much better than the movie. (also the book Saving Francesca is good, but it's quite like this in themes and language)

Love that Dog by Sharon Creech I have a huge thing for books written in verse. This is written from the perspective of an 11 year old boy, and it's lovely :)

Nathan's Run by John Gilstrap An action packed suspense tale of a boy on the run from the cops after he escaped from Juvey... and he has the whole public on his side.

Someone Like Me by Elaine Forrestal I read this book in year 5 and bawled my little primary school eyes out. Its about friendship between Enya, Tas and Reebok; and overcoming bad circumstances.

The Diviner's Son by Gary Crew An eerie novel about ghosts, spirituality and finding real demons among people.

The Little Princess by Frances Hodgson-Burnett This is Marissa's happy book!! An absolute classic; it's impossible not to love Sara.

The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants by Ann Brashares DO NOT JUDGE THESE BOOKS ON THE MOVIE! The girls in this book are deeply explored and sooooo many issues are tackled in 3 novels :)

White Oleander by Janet Fitch Astrid grows up really fast after her mother kills her lover. Much love to Kirsty for giving me this book!!

Not Good Books


A Child Called It by Dave Pelzer meh... i dunno what to do with this book. I read it because it was so intriguing someone could be treated that way... but now he's got like 4 sequels to it. and i understand that its important to recognise this behaviour, but these books are disturbing.

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte MLAAAAH. Classics suck. This is the most mundane book I've read to date. I can't relate to Jane at all, she is the stupidest doormat i've ever read about. And Rochester locked up his wife in the roof. God... olden day people are weird.

Lord of the Rings by J.R.R Tolkien This may be one of the greatest epic tales of conquest and BLAH BLAH BLAAAAH. The Hobbit is much more exciting, and well written.

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen I just don't like the story really. And then the book is written in such complicated banal language... I dunno. I just can't accept it as one of the best love stories. I get to the second chapter and want to tear the book in half.

The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown What irritates me so much is that all Dan Brown did was gather all these speculations and theories on religion, order them, and add a thin plotline and VOILA, he has a bestselling novel. He is not a very good writer.

Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom This is a really devastating true story about the degeneration of a wonderful man, but man, Mitch is a SPORTS WRITER. It isn't moving at all. Go back to your column, dude...

things i HAVE to do.


Visit the Museum of Fire COMPLETED

Find a Career There is no career that appeals to me. I need to fix that, and QUICK.

see Tamara dance. COMPLETED

Burn a potato chip. maybe not something i HAVE to do, but i imagine it would be cool.

go to the top of the Aya Sofya. ages ago, i had this game, called Byzantine: the Betrayal and it was set in Turkey and whoa it was sooo cool and it was so sneaky and detective like and i LOVE IT.

watch the Lion King stage show. I can ignore that there are dumb dancers ruining the story. i will have Simba any old how.

Set up Iridescence. FLOURO MERCHANDISE + ETHIOPIA = BIG BUCKS.

Become the first black female president of America. Okay, so i am lacking in some things to really fill this title. but wouldnt it be cool if a non-black person was the first black president?!!

Open a Seagull Sanctuary. Sure, scoff at this plan, but i will breed SEVEN seagulls per DAY.

Visit the Dying Lion of Lucerne. i saw a pickature of it on SOMEONES website and i was like. Lion? in Stone? on a Lake? in SWITZERLAND?! helk yess.

Touch something when i'm in the car. This has seriously been a lifelong dream since i was about 8. I have always wanted to stick my hand out of the car window and touch like a pole or a tree or something, because i was told that my hand would get ripped off ; )

Irrational Fears


Ears Popping I'm totally McScared of my ears popping on a plane. I know that sometimes it hurts, and I completely convince myself it will.

Failing Not exactly the most original fear, but I get so up-tight about failing that I decide not trying is best.

Swallowing my Tongue Because I'm an idiot and sometimes I get bored, I see if I can swallow my tongue and then freak out because I think I'm going to die.

Being in Freo alone. Don't like being alone in general, hate being in public, add em together and you have a very uncomfy Marissa.

Wasp Sting in le Eye I was watching National Geographic channel (aged 11) & they showed footage of a wasp attacking a caterpillar, which was pretty scary stuff... see it got worse, because the wasp LAID EGGS IN IT. And then the baby wasps grow inside & eat their way out!

Dude in Black Poncho walking down my corridor. I had the great idea to watch I Know What You Did Last Summer in the middle of the day, so it wouldn't freak me out. Bad idea. That guy is coming for me.

Needles Okay, see I want a reason to have to have a needle. I'm so not taking one as a preventative measure. I do not care at all that the disease it's preventing will cause me far more pain than the little pin prick - THAT IS NOT A GOOD REASON.

CRICKETSSSSSSSSSSS. Oh my Lordy God. Most underrated scary thing ever. Okay, they're little, they have spindly limbs and they jump everywhere, they're so unpredictable ARRRRGH they make my skin crawl!
