Unseen photos!!

The card from Julia, talented artwork on the front of the envelope

On the cruise in Cleveland for my birthday

So, i've learnt very quickly that this site sucks for adding photos onto blogs, wish i could have formatted it better so it looked "pretty".. but i can't, not on here anyway. A lot of these photos were either forgotten about or just not put up on facebook except for those depo hat pics. CLICK ON A PHOTO TO ENLARGE, but i'm sure you don't need to be doing that, might see bitchy comments from alison on skype by doing that :P

chatroulette froze up and we looked so retarted with our rice crackers (i think that's what they call them, i mean i'd call it biscuits but apparently in America, that makes no sense.. wtf!!)

Cheaaa ;)

we skyped a whole heap of people around 4am, the plan was to stay up till 10am. Alison was pissed with me though, she skyped for like only 15minutes. You should have seen what she typed me.. she was bitchy :P

Julia and i have a list, a list of all the disney movies we want to watch again, but this lion we decided is alison's love guru!!

 

We were suppose to hit the 'video' button but we got the photo instead

NO SLEEP = this.

Right in the beginning, when it was snowing.. boots!!

Ice cream is so damn good!! ;)

I never know what day it is now without school. I'll go to sleep at like 4am and find myself sleeping most of the day so when i'm finally up.. the day is practically over. Pretty sweet life really. I keep having these moments that make me realise just how far away i am from "my people" - as Julia says :P A good example of this goes back to June 7th, well i'm on facebook and on the homepage i see my sisters status - "Hospital :/ " and i see it was put 11hours ago and i'm just thinking WTF?!? so apparently she had a pretty bad asthma attack as i'm reading through these comments. I saw a New Zealand number calling me the day before it happened and i'm just suddenly thinking ohh crap, maybe i shouldn't have ignored that call. You know that feeling you get when someone calls and you just think.. ahh can't be bothered talking to this person, well yeah it was one of those moments.. and now i'm totally out of the loop!! Later on i get a call, this time i answer it, and yes, Alison had an asthma attack, i didn't really think too much of it when i first saw it on facebook because i know this is just something Alison has every few years but over the phone i was told that it's the worse she's ever had, this time she was actually really close to dying. I think that was what hit me most, i don't think anyone wants to hear that their sister (the favorite sister btw haha) has almost died.. i wasn't even there for her!!! of all times!! I've actually always been the one with her in situations like this, i'm her support system i like to think :P It was so ironic because over skype maybe two days prior to the asthma attack i told her sarcastically that she better watch out she might have an asthma attack soon, this was when i saw she was really struggling to breath when talking with me. You know what? I reckon i just have this 6th sense power about me with her, every fricking time!! i'm telling you, i've always guessed right, i did every other time.. Alison and i don't really talk all that much now, the time difference makes it hard to really "talk" when we're both free, it's sorta sad that it's got this way. I feel kinda bad about it, we were always really close.. talking about almost everything going on in our lives. She's moved on and grown up so much, i'm proud of her but this makes me wonder how we are going to be like when it's finally time for me to go home. Well no matter what. SHITS 'BOUT TO GO DOWN! i'm telling you, things will change.. better or worse.. its happening.

So I'm feeling pretty damn awesome, i work at an ice cream shop :) jealous much? ohh free ice cream, that's what life's about!! ;D

It is truly amazing, the things you can learn about a person. I'm impressed by the Kiwi accent Julia's got going on. I introduced her to the big world of chatroulette :P haha and we make up this story with random people that we're sisters living in American as foreign exchange students from NZ (they believe us too, we look so alike!!).. this is when her accent is at practice. Apparently we sound like we're from Britain.. and Julia's Kiwi accent sounds so much stronger than mine. I find that funny!! It is because of her that i  feel i'm reliving my childhood years, i just love that about us!! we go to the park all the time and do the most crazy, strangest things ever, grabbing the attention of random strangers in public. I laugh so much with her and i'm so thankful to have her as my sister. I don't like to announce favorites but i must admit that she's my favorite lil' american by FARRRR!! So many wonderful, weird, wild  inside jokes that make people around us wonder if we're high :P i'm sure it's going to be extremely awkward when i'm home without her, how will i ever explain myself. - "what is this magic?" - cat daddy!! - "what the FORKKK" - "...that's so fricken puurfect!!"

After Steak 'n shake we saw GOD in the sky!! Ooo

I relived a special moment recently, the night i arrived in Ohio, Sheila and Julia took me to Steak 'n shake, it has this special significance, the start of my american journey :) Julia still had the voucher from after prom for steak 'n shake so this is where we went. It marks the middle of my time here in Ohio.

 

OMG DESERT TIME:) 

& the cookies actually didn't suck this time.. i've noticed that over here in America they like to make them really soft and doey still. BUT I FOUND A DECENT COOKIE THIS TIME!!! Julia still believes that a decent cookie is indeed soft and doey.. pfft what is she talking about :P

Proudness.

Since I've been in America I've had some huge problems with my itunes, i had like no new good music for a really long time until today!! well somehow.. i fixed it. I'm real proud!! haha actually, talking about proudness, Julia jumped out of a plane on Monday morning (Memorial day in America). Haha that sounds so bad :P but no really she did, she went skydiving and it's something she's been wanting to do for quiet some time now. I was so proud of her for making that leap :) Oneday i'll go bungy jumping to match her madness :P

I got the chance to walk at graduation with the 2011 Cardinal High School seniors. It really was such an amazing night for me but I couldn't help think about what I would be missing out on at home, I wouldn't end my Sacred Heart College Year 13 with all my close friends. I'm just sad I couldn't have shared that Graduation moment with my New Zealander's. But anyhow, it's on facebook - the video we took of the big memorable moment on stage.. so that works :)

Went to Cedar Point, it was the road trip Julia had been planning for such a long time with Doris. "It was an interesting day",  I just think the whole day was a rollarcoaster with all these good/bad moments all day long. I'm glad we all got home safe ;) Poor Julia had to be driving at like 1am when we were all practically falling asleep in the car. Not going to lie, i'm happy that day is over with.

When we were all over at Ron's place we recorded a game of badminton, it was way too long to put up online but I cut it down a bit to get the most perfect part of that whole game!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIyAk8bRLUg&feature=channel_video_title

Features: Sheila&Ron, Julia, Zach&Kevin = The most important people to me in America. I love you guys!! <3

I can safely say that i'm done with school for now, i've finished the semester with Graduation and i'm now officially on summer break. It's got so much warmer here now, crazy heat!! I never knew weather could get this way. It's like that feeling you get when it's a hot day, you get in the car and it's so boiling hot that all you want to do is put down the window and get that cool fresh breeze.. but here it doesn't happen. Trapped hot air in a car is how the day sometimes feels. There's no wind to make it feel nice and cool. Not everyday it's that way, thank goodness

It's really freaked me out, June is my 6th month in America.. half way through the program, it's all gone by so fast and i've met these amazing americans that make me feel so at home. I don't ever want to leave them!! I never thought i'd get this way. It's so hard now ;(

Julia looks so relaxed haha ;)

My lil American Sister!!
