70th Blog - An Epiphony

The following blog is all an excerpt from my mind. I have been thinking about this a lot lately. Make it mean something to you. Read it slowly and please, please, take everything in to account.

Do not disregard that starter, really think about it all.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After watching last night's Lost episode, in which Charlie took stock of his life, knowing he was going to die, I've been thinking.

Due to a bizarre turn of events, I am sick in almost every way, and have been for a lot of the week. I just took a long shower, as my showers are always long, and had a really, really deep conversation with myself. I thought, "I've been needing to go to the doctor's. What if I have breast cancer?" Yes, there is something in my breast that is getting me paranoid.

So I had a very long daydream. It was so deep, it was incredibly vivid. My mother and I get told I have cancer and most likely to die soon. How would you respond if you were told you had cancer? So I'm in a hospital bed, and will be for the remainder of my days. The only thing left to keep me company when my family or friends aren't around is a laptop, in which I am writing personal goodbyes and sentimental messages to those I love.

A lot of my messages are of how much those close to me really mean to me. Maddy, Jake, Alana, Sara, David, James, Matt, Katherine, Shezz, Zoe, everyone. They all mean so much to me, yet will only get me to express the words when I am close to death and have nothing more important to think about. Everything imporant in life is taken stock of. I of course have messages to drama, youth group, school, and individually, my family. It's these people I care about most of all. Of course I then pictured my funeral, and how I would be remembered. This daydream was almost a near-death experience, it was that surreal.

I realized, "why think all the bad things when life is so good?" An epiphony struck me, emerging from this daydream. You know those Christian preachers that say that they are officially in the house of the Lord, or go completely off the bat with some major metaphor like that, and it just sounds so stupid that it doesn't sound real? I used to think those people were just being optimistically over-enthusiastic. Not anymore. I now know what it's like to rely on God 100%, and have something so important in your life. I live up to God.

The hardest thing for me to lose in my life would be my faith. I'm not just talking about my faith in Christ, but my faith in freedom. My faith in humanity. Inspiration, willpower, and strength. Each one especially and respectively. Everything that requires faithfullness to be dependant on, I need it my life most of all.

Being a Christian isn't just "Hey, I like to read the Bible. I know this verse off by heart, I art officially a worshipper." That's not what being a Christian is about in the least. Well, not the least, but you see where I'm going with this. Christian characteristics isn't a hobby (reading the Bible, etc.), it's a lifestyle. How you act towards other people, how you think and why you do what you do.

You're having a wild hedonistic time, you let something slip about someone to their face. It's not needed, not even negative thoughts. Unfortunately, thoughts can sometimes be hard to control. Just so long as your thoughts don't affect what you do or how you act, you shouldn't be seen any differently by others. That's what willpower is for. The ability to see yourself through other's eyes is a skill that's needed.

This not making sense? Read that last paragraph very, very slowly.

I now understand why the Bible says to forgive those that do harm to you. Who knows what they are going through, or why they do what they did to you. Attention? Revenge? People don't do bad things for no reason, they just don't. Even subconsciously, they are thinking of some form of motive. If someone is mean to you, forgive them and let it slip.

Life is too short for the negative. You could wake up tomorrow with a tumour in your brain and you'll be dead in a fortnight. Whatever you're doing now on MySpace - is that what you want to be doing, nay, remembered as doing or being after you pass on?

You see typical MySpace girls with their About Me sections kept brief and consise, straight to the point, and with so much pretty much useless information that it's near pointless to read? You realize that an About Me is how you are portrayed - it's a summary of you. Words say a lot. I love people like that anyway, even if how they like to be seen is.. diferent. Heckle, if it weren't for the seventy blogs I've posted here, I'd have deleted my MySpace yonks ago.

Those people that tell themselves they don't hate or remotely dislike someone/anyone are absolutely ludacrious. You can't not be annoyed by someone, or dislike them, it's a compulsory fact of life. Anyone trying to tell themselves otherwise are probably hiding from something - but what? I know this sounds cynical in comparison to everything else I've mentioned, but it needed to be said. Talk to this person. "AH! Denial is all we have!"

To wrap up, I am going to live life more to the fullest. I will try my best to stop being mean, even the little things. I will look at any enemies in a different, more positive light. I will take a negative and turn it in to a positive, and I urge you to do the same.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If one day I forget any of this, please remind me that I wrote a blog about this.
If this somehow reached to you, read it again. It will make an ever bigger impact.

This thought had certainly made an impact on my life.
Anyone wanting to tear me down for expressing like this - be my guest, because it just doesn't matter. I forgive you already. :)

I'm gonna do it again!


Home Group - Woodbridge
Home Group is pretty much pointless, but has been fun this year.

Extra Curricular Activites:
-Interschool Volleyball
-Open Day Helper
(they didn't put down City Camp?)

Woodbridge's Words:
Home Group involves marking the attendance roll for the morning, listening to relevant notices from the Daily Bulletin and participating in a short devotional time. This semester, each student has been given the opportunity to share with the group in discussion and prayer. John has been a quiet contributor. In Term 1, John aprticipated in Year 9 City Camp. His group functioned very well and he worked well within the group. He achieved a grade of VERY HIGH for his group presentation and HIGH for his eprsonal reflection.

Days Late: 6
Days Absent: 12

Head Of Senior School's Comments:
It has been great to get to know you this year, John. Keep up the good work.

A MySpace Cynic

WELL. I feel quite cynical today, so I suppose I will vent.

First of all, Eliza., that dicktease stuff? It's redundant. Yehh. :D it sickens me.

And to all you idiots with like a million messages in your msn name: you're an idiot, nobody loves you that much.

Sara. Stop thinking I purposely take other people's sides just to resent you. Maybe my opinion is that you're wrong? Like when *that guy* says he has plans or whatever, and you think he's ignoring you? No, that's redundant also.

AND TO YOU PEOPLE WHO DRINK. AGH. You're slowly taking away your blood cells until you're 45 and you'll be completely braindead and on life support. Who'll be laughing then? That's right. John will. I win.

Oh and the hardcores in Frankston who smoke there after school? What the hell are you even doing in Frankston after school anyway? It's one step away from vacationing to hell after you just exited it at like 3pm. You're not hardcore or original, hell, you're not even worthy of a conversation. You're an idiot.

And I hate MSN more than anything in the world, except MySpace. It's oh so impersnal, you cannot show tone of your voice through typing or anything that would occur during a good old fashioned conversation face-to-face. I cannot name the many times MSN has gotten me into trouble because of someone taking what I've said the wrong way. It's happened to me like 3 times this week.

MySpace itself is a whole other story. You know how like no one sends messages to each other really unless it's a conversation? That's what a bulletin is, but it goes out to everyone. So stop posting your dumbshit bulletins trying to get someone to pay attention to you, because nobody likes or respects you for it. How about you go outside and meet someone new? Nothing as refreshing as a new relationship.

OHOH. Morons who like to rebel. Take a step back, literally, and look at the portrait of your life. Why do you like to do the opposite of what an authority figure says? What makes you so damn special you must disagree with anything? Nobody thinks you're witty/clever/smart in the slightest. All you are is a tool.

Like you Valerie. I despise you. I hope you perish. That's all I really have to say.

Sure songs are awesome, and although the music may be cool, lyrics are a whole other story. lyrics are supposed to mean something. Except for Weird Al songs, but I mean come on. Posting stupid lyrics from an irrelevant song in your myspace or msn or somewhere... there's a word for that. Probably. But the point is it's completely pointless to do, and you don't respect the music you listen to if you just casually pass it up like that.

Last thing, unless I write a bit more. Especially with Baysiders, being a Christian school and all, you people who assume they are immediately religious because they go to youth group are HUGELY MISTAKEN. Religion isn't a fad you maroons, it's a life-long commitment. ou can call yourself a Christian, but unless you act upon it, all you are is a label.

Anyway to end this rant, I'd just like to hope that you took something away from it, and maybe, delete your myspace?
I would, but I have precious blogs on here. they are my children. memories!

MEMORIES... WITH JULIE.. A THIRD DAMN TIME

These always seem to happen when we have a conversation that goes for over half an hour.

John when I get married, my childs will be named Chauncey and Charleton says (11:06 PM):
i'm julie
"i'm bored."
TEDDY SCARES ! says (11:06 PM):
i'm john
"i am intellectual and like to play backgammon"
HAHAHAHAA
WHO WON
JULIE DID.

TEDDY SCARES ! says (11:09 PM):
"i bent my back hovering over the computer screen lusting for all them nice backgammon photos oh boy, if i were as young as i once was that backgammon championship would be mine no doubt!" - sample taken from John, the exclusive life of me

John "I am intellectual and I like to play backgammon" says (11:10 PM):
"I felt his luscious love wand insert to me. I knew in 9 months I would bring forth the life of a newborn baby. The only reason I have babies is so I can eat them and their fresh, vulture blood" - sample taken from Julie without her estrogen pills, but still thinks she has a vagina without them

TEDDY SCARES ! says (11:11 PM):
HAHAHA
im going to put that on my myspace
John "I am intellectual and I like to play backgammon" says (11:11 PM):
oh it's you all over

TEDDY SCARES ! says (11:12 PM):
"Backgammon the word echoed in my mind, and my heart i lusted for it day and night they shall never know never know my love for it, for you backgammon my love is forbidden and i couldnt spare the thought of a life without you." Taken from "Six months in Johns head"

John "I am intellectual and I like to play backgammon" says (11:14 PM):
"My heart pounds for lust and love-- two emotions a roboticon like me never experiences. Some people say it means I don't fully live. I have been taking my Saturday nights, and swishing them into a toilet bowl of despair at dive bars and try my new ravashing pick-up lines: "Hello, would you like to suck face?"" - An exerpt from 'Julie on Julie - The many faces of me'

John "I am intellectual and I like to play backgammon" says (11:18 PM):
are we doing more or can I post my blog.
TEDDY SCARES ! says (11:18 PM):
"I looked out the window, wondering 'would she come back to me?' The answer was no my precious love my life my everything backgammon left me in a hurry I realised it was my own fault and shouldve acknowledged that she wasnt into animal sex, and was trying to hurry the relationship but inside ill never forget you old backgammy." - Directors cut from Are you there backgammon? its me John.

John "I am intellectual and I like to play backgammon" says (11:21 PM):
"I pondered why a fish would ever want to do such a morbid thing. Fish don't drown like that, they just don't! That damn thing was my only true friend in this shallow world! If only the water was as shallow in Gumpy's bowl... my family say I'm insane. My co-workers say that the fish was my only friend. Damn right it was. How else will we ever know if humans and fish can be charged together in a catastrophe of DNA intertwining? We will NEVER know! The pet store doesn't open again until Monday! I doubt I'll last that long." Taken from Julie's back. They carved stories into her in prison.


OMG JULIE GROW UP.
You too, John
<3

What? You want a sandwich maker?

Thursday, March 8.

If I remember correctly, Thursday was the day of State Library. It was weird. They have this room where there's a giant screen and a camera so you can WATCH YOURSELF SITTING DOWN :S and so can everybody else! The place is freakin huge, and we met up with Mr Woodbridge's group there, so Emily and I were trying to run away from like 10 people and I think Mr Woodbridge caught us. Oops.

ALSO, Botanical Gardens. Which also meant the shrine of rememberance. SO. BORING. We had about an hour long tour with this old man who insisted on taking his sweet time.. arrrgghh. His nametag said Trevor, yet his ID badge said his name was John. I was so confused.

But anyway. Towards the end, we gathered around this stone thing in the floor that said "SOMETHING" I forget what it said. But the light that shone across it came from a torch or something in the roof, so we were standing in silence for a while as it happened. That guy was really misleading, so Tegan and I were looking at the stone, then the roof, then the stone, then the roof, because due to whatever he said we both didn't know where it was coming from. So Tegan noticed that and laughed through the whole thing.

Once we got out of there, the 11 or so of us with Mr Graham went down the hill to a tram stop, and Mady and Tegan took my camera and took like a BIZILLION pictures on it in like the 30 metres or so we walked.. they were behind sooo much. I dont get how they thought they would ever get any of those pictures back :D Which they won't.

ANYWAY wherever we went afterwards or before that I wasn't really sure what time that was. Oh yes. Chinatown! We had a bunch of questions to answer about the place, didn't take long at all actually. We had to find out about Miss Saigon, so Alex and I went into Tiketek which was like away from where others were.. and wehn we got back out THEY WERE GONE. So we were lost. But we found them. Hoozah.

Anyway I think we went shopping after that, and we were looking around the city for a music shop Jake wanted to find, and after AGES of shopping in other places we passed and stuff, turns out it was back where we started I think. Cranbourne Music. Fun place that was :D

Later that afternoon, we had a choice of going to Melbourne Central or Queen Vic Market. Ree, Kate and I went to Melb Central for an hour, and even though we weren't supposed to, we caught the train to Parliament for one reason: FREAKIN HUGE ESCALATORS. We ran up to one end of the platform, but the elevator up was on the OTHER END, so we ran back there, and caught the escalators down sitting down. Like 5 minutes long, it's terrific.

And we went back to Central and entered Myer. SIX BEE. the very very top of Myer in Melbourne, where nobody was there, there was just an empty foyer and an ajar door to where they were setting up the fashion show. SO INTO THE GIRLS TOILETS WE WENT! Kate carved our names in the wall LAWL and I looked in the bin for some reason and found a whole bouquet of flowers. Freshh. But disgustingly wet. So we took one out, Kate put it in my bag, and we planned on giving it to Mrs Cooper but Kate dropped the leaves one by one on the escalator for some reason.

VERY late arvo, we had research tasks to do in our groups, split in half. There was me, Alex, Jake, James, Mady and Tegan in one group, and Courtney, Josh, Andrew, Kate and Ree were in the other group.

The task was to interview a stranger.. or lots of strangers actually, about a topic. Our group's topic was multiculturalism, so Alex and I asked the question, "what is your cultural background" to a bunch of people. Tegan and Mady asked some other question, and so did Jake and James.

Alex and I got freaked out by random people, and we went into one particular asian cafe, and we asked the woman at the counter if we could ask her a question (that sounds weird.) She got MIIIGHTY confused and got the manager. EXTREMELY ASIAN MAN. He didn't get us either.

WHAT'S YOUR CUTURAL BACKGROUND?
WHAT? YOU WANT SANDWICH MAKER?
NO, WE JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOUR CULTURAL BACKGROUND IS
YOU WANT JOB? AHYYEE?
WHAT THE. CULTURAL BACKGROUND. WE DONT WANT A JOIB OR SANDIWHC MAKER.
oh. chinese.
KAYBYE.
*world explodes*

WHOOO that night! Pizza! On Lygon Street! They had pasta too thankfully! Yay! Sara and I were on a table with.. *recounts* Wes, Nicole, Zoe, and like 5 others ahaha I forget. OH STEPH was there.. probably Emily. Yes, Emily.. I dont remember who else. but I think there were nine of us. Anyway Sara and I were being ghosts to Ree and Kate, not sure how that started but we were going ooooo. followed by a OOOO!!!

It ended with Ree and I texting each other while staring. At each other. To piss each other off. But eventually Sara and I just went over there and talked to her anyway.

That night at darkness, we walked over to Crown, and Ree and I passed that asian guy from yesterday drawing people was back. So we went out of our way to avoid him.

We went to.. GALACTIC CIRCUS! the biggest arcade around! Free games for two hours! Except we could only do the prizeless and ticketless ones, which didn't leave us with much to do, but we ended up playing racing games most of the time =D and air hockey. I think it dislocated my shoulder :(

Actually, Brianna, can you get out?

Wednesday, March 7.
WOOO CITY CAMP! City Camp, was, and I am not underestimating here, was the biggest high-fiving, hugging, staring contest, racist 3 days of my life. Seriously. Anyway. We got to the station at like 8:40 or so, and I tried shoving everything into one bag but I couldn't. Rather pissed at that. ANYWAY. I believe I then met up with Sara, and we all caught the train to the city, and Sara was also rather pissed that she brought a GIANT wheely bag and nobody else did.

And I have a feeling that on the train ride up, I was just staring at Ree cuz she was in my eyesight, waiting for her to stare back (as Zach and I were talking about We Can Be Heroes when pat just stares at her husband until he cracks) and I don't believe she did, unless she did and just looked away out of shyness.

YAY I finished my sausage roll. Ow shit my tooth >_<

ANYWAY. After lots of Sara's bitching and talking to Zach about We Can Be Heroes, we got off at Melb Central and walked to Franklin St in Melbourne, the stayance of our group. At a backpacker's hotel. We all lugged our stuff up like 6 flights of stairs or something, which was a real treat for us all, especially Sara. Into a random door and down a very long red corridor (past an all boys school I believe, year 11s) and to our rooms.

We all dumped our stuff in room 220 I think it was, yeah. Coz it's a big room with like six bunk beds. The teachers there were Woodbridge, Graham, Hooper and Cooper (rofl). Woodbridge speeched about something, not really sure I was asleep practically, and we were given keys to get into our rooms.

The keys were just cards that you slide unto the annoying lock thing on the door handle that I NEVER worked. Actually once I think. But besides that :(

yeah Tegan and I probably high-fived about 60 times already that half-day coz we are really. really cool. :D

And of course every time I saw Zach we were quoting We Can be heroes, such as "Actually, Brianna, can you get out?" or "A GUMNUT'S GONE UP MY NOSE".

I still remember the first thing I said to Alex, as she came to the school like a few weeks ago. "You went to Hasting's Day?" as she went to hasting's day (I eavesdrop). So did I. She went on the same day i did. Only later. Now Alex and I are complete breast friends.

Okay after the lunch that we were supposed to bring but I didn't eat for one reason or another (lazy) we split up into four groups of disappointment to do activities in the city with. We had to learn how to catch trams and. (yeah I spose that was it really).

It went alphabetically, so Kate, Ree, jake, james, Josh, Andrew, Mady, Tegan, Alex, Courtney and I were all in group two with Mr. Graham/AJ. yes, they are one person. We left the hotel and went across the street to the 7/11 and the Boost Bar thing. Tegan and I high-fived a few 10 or so more times, and we did a really good one and I said "Wow we should have recorded that!" which Tegan found funny. As did I. i laugh at my own jokes.

I forget where we went first. LIVING IN THE CBD! I don't remember a thing from it!

AND THEN AFTER THAT. it was. something else? I don't remember that either OH WAIT. Botanical Gardens! With the shrine of rememberance! That was sooo boring. Some old guy leading us around, and i was getting really pissed because his nametag said 'Trevor' but his ID card said 'John' so I was utterly confused.

As we had finished our tasks early, we went to Federation Square for the last one actually, which was to collect info downstairs or something. And the big curvy square thing itself that's on Spencer St/Flinders St near the Flinders Station had a message board. You could text a message to it and it appears on the screen. So Courtney and I texted it saying 'JOHN AND COURTNEY ROCK! 5 5 5 5 5!' because of our obssession with the number five. Courtney took a video of it on her phone, and jake told us we needed lives.

We texted it a few more times and it was really cool.

YEAH! THEN RANDOM WALKING AROUND FOR TWO HOURS! To like music shops and such. Ree and I spotted a filthy old asian man who was drawing portraits of people on the side of the street. We offereed two bucks for us. REJECTEDDD. Four? REJECTEDDD. Then some couple got theirs done for like 20 bucks, and he really sucked. Ree and I were so shut down.

Anyway that night, we went on a walk around Chinatown, in which everyone was going NEEHOW to every asian they saw, which means Hello in Chinese apparently. It was so racist, because well, it's the year nines. :)

So we got to some Chinese place, which wasn't that bad, as I just had lots of rice, which is nice. Since I got credit the night before, I called home and announced I had tried soy sauce that night, and this was DURING the dinner too. Very loud.

THEN RIALTO TIME! At night! The city is rather beautiful. We took photos in the photo booth at the top, in which CLARE AND I JUST WANTED ONE FREAKING PHOTO TOGETHER and everybody was hitting the cover and kicking us and stuff. Someone was kicking the back of my knees for ages (which I later found out was Tegan) so I eventually got really pissed and turned around and kicked below the cover thing, and apparently I got Cameron. :D

We tried getting photos with Ree too, because we were so disappointed about that asian drawing man that we needed to get a photo in some way. BUT WE NEVER GOT ONE AT THE MACHINE.

THankfully, Zach, Clare, Sara and I got a photo together of us all doing the 'This is me looking really shocked at how thin she looks' pose which is incredibly hot. And Elise gavae me a sticker of her and Suzie, so all three of those photos are now stuck to my phone.

The hotel had a nice common room with bean bags and a television that we like to bum around in. But at 11 it was time for bed... I was in a room with Daniel, Jake, Dean, Sharpy, Matt, Zach, Dave, and James. Somehow it came up around Religion, and Jake was getting quite into it and was forcing his opinions on Zach for about an hour or so.

Yes, jake, forcing your opinions. You're pushy, deal with it. <4

More to come, shrubs!
