Dale Thomas hurt his knee. =[
Poor Dale. Hopefully he gets better soon.
If he needs a knee reconstruction, I'll die. Because he miss the finals.
Lol, Collingwood won last night. By 31 points.
And John Anthony is so funneh.
He fell on the ground and pretended he was hurt.
But everyone (including commentators and what not) thought he was seriously injured.
So the medical people came to help him off the ground and Port Adelaide didn't bother manning up on him. So the game went on and Collingwood kicked it inside 50.
And because John Anthony didn't have a player on him, he was able to mark the ball and kick a goal. And I'm like, "LOL. UR SO FUNNEH."

BELLA AND EDWARD. X]
I was reading Eclipse and Edward and Jacob were all like fighting. But it didn't turn out to be a physical fight like the spectators wanted.
So in Bella's Calculus class, the spectators of the fight (Mike, Ben, Austin, etc) were all like, "I bet on Edward!" "I bet on Jacob." And someone is like, "I wonder what they were fighting about?"
And they all looked at Bella.
It was funny. Go and read the Twilight series. NOW!
Anyway, today I had Maths. TWO classes of maths. Ugh.
Yeah, it wasn't very exciting.
Vectors aren't that hard.
And I've already done Trigonometry. *nerd*
I love Eclipse. It is SO good so far.
Charlie gave Bella a sex talk. And I'm like, "Does Edward have the right parts to have children with? I mean, he isn't human..."
And that got me wondering. Can vampires have children? I find out when Edward comes knocking at my door. He'll be like, "Oops, wrong house."
And I'll be like, "No, it's not. Come in." And we'll sleep together. ^_^
Sorryy if you are eating your dinner and vomited on the keyboard.
I'm so sorry.
Shall I buy a new keyboard? Nah, buy your own. I can't be bothered.
Lol, we got our oral presentation today.
And I chose the topic about Napoleon (the leader pig in Animal Farm).
So I researched about him on Google. And I typed in, "Napoleon quotes."
And it came up with Napoleon Dynamite quotes.
So I clicked on it and I'm like to my friend, "Gosh, Napoleon, gosh."
It was funny.
I love Napoleon Dynamite. We are both nerds. Gosh.
Funneh.
I'm baking a cake tomorrow. ^_^
Except I can't eat it.
It is going to the poor people. People who are poorer than me. Actually I don't think that's possible. I got my bank statement today and it said I have $20 in my account.
I was like, "Aw, I'm so poor."
But then I realised that most of my money is in my other account.
When I'm married to Dale Thomas (or Edward ^_^), I shall be rich.
I'd accept Edward's marriage proposal.
Because Bella hasn't accepted yet. She's still thinking about it.
Or maybe she just said no. I don't know. I should shut up.
I'm going to go now and read Eclipse. Have fun with your life. X]
And enjoy this video, k?

JACOB IS A WEREWOLF!
Oops, sorry for the spoiler.
I just found out that Jacob is a werewolf. I'm reading New Moon. I'm halfway through. ^_^
Sometimes Jacob is nice and sweet and other times he yells at Bella. And he ignores Bella because Sam told him too. It reminds me of the song called Jenny. "She said she adored me then ignored me." Just change "she" to "he" and it is the BELLA/JACOB situation.
I miss Edward. He needs to come back to Bella. X]
And in New Moon, I'm up to the part where Jacob tells Bella that he is NOT a murderer. He said he is a protector. So does that mean Jacob eats people so the vampires have nothing to eat? Or does he only eat vampires? Hm... I'll read the rest of the book to find out.
In the New Moon book I'm reading, there is a Interview with Stephenie Meyer at the back of the book. And Stephenie Meyer said she likes the Jacob fan base over the Edward one because the Jacob fan base is so outnumbered. I chuckled at that. So true.
I'd prefer a vampire over a werewolf. Vampires can suck your blood. Werewolves are big and scary. Edward's not scary. He isn't as tall as Jacob.
8375309. Yeah, I have that song in my head. The one about Jenny and her phone number. And it's all like, "You don't know me but you make me so happy."
And I also have the Ting Tings song in my head. "They call me her. They call me Stacey. That's not my name." Yeah, I don't know the words. I just like the music.
Lol, Melbourne (the footy team) got thrashed by Geelong. Sucks to be them. ^_^
And people say that Collingwood are bad. At least we beat Geelong. That's WAY more than Melbourne have done.
Speaking of sport, did anyone watch the Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony last night?
I did not. I was reading New Moon and sleeping at that time.
Bella is more interesting than the Olympics. No offence.
She has a vampire boyfriend.
Except she basically only has one friend that isn't a mythical monster. And that would be Angela. I guess Mike would still like her. He just got sick and had to sit through a zombie movie. And also he had to go to the movies with Bella AND Bella's friend who is also in love with Bella.
I suppose Angela would still be Bella's friend.
She said she missed Bella when Bella was in the "depression" stage.
I was like, "Aw. That's so sweet."
Collingwood play tonight. Against St Kilda. And we are going to win. So put that in your pipe and smoke it, St Kilda supporters! =P
My friend is going to the game. And I'm like, "Why are you going to a losing Saints match?" And all my friends are like, "Nuh uh. Saints are going to win." And then I used my greatest comeback which is, "You're so gay." ^_^
It is also my worst comeback. I only have one comeback. Wait - I have another one. It goes like, ":P"
Lol, I am weird. =]

LA LA LA... I GOT A C+ ON MY BIOLOGY EXAM... LA LA LA
Hey fellow friends and random stalkers! ^_^
Stalkers: You can come to my house ~any day. Only if you are hot.
Yeah. My fellow friends can not unless their name is Heath. Or Dale Thomas. X]
OMG, there are so many books I have to read. Everyone is all like, "Read this book!" And I'm like, "Sure. I'll add it to the list of all the other books I want to read." And I normally forget that list. I forget everything. I'm a bit like Dory from Finding Nemo.
I wonder if Heath Shaw has a blog. I doubt it. Only Dale Thomas is cool enough to blog.
Buddy might have a blog. One day I'll search the interwebz (nice spelling, eh?) for Buddy's blog. And I'll be like happy if he has one. And if I can comment, then that will be better.
I can be all like, "Move to Collingwood! Hawthorn sucks. Don't you ever get tired of singing a crap song when you win games?"
I feel sorry for the Fremantle players. No wonder Medhurst went to Collingwood. To get away from the theme song.
Lol, I was watching the Simpsons and Lisa came in the room singing, "It's a grand old flag. It's a high flying flag. It's the emblem for meeeee and for youuuuuuuu." And I'm like, "Hehe. She barracks for Melbourne. Booooooo!"
I basically know the whole Melbourne song. Because last year, we went to a Collingwood vs Melbourne game and Melbourne won. And on the train I was absent-mindedly singing to the Melbourne song.
Today in homeroom, my friend was like singing to the Ting Tings song that I love. ^_^
Except I had another song in my head. It was worse.
It goes like, "Drinking whiskey from the bottle...Sweet Home Alabama all summer long." It is by Kid Rock and it is an annoying song but it was stuck my head. =[
I was sitting in Biology doing a SAC and in my head, I was like, "Drinking whiskey from the bottle....." Because that is how the song goes. Boooooooooooooring song. Lol.

LA LA LA... I AM A NERD DOING SCIENCE-Y SUBJECTS... LA LA LA .
Hey fellow friends and random stalkers!
I went to an Open Day for a university today. It was exciting. I was mainly around the Science-y area. And then we went to the Accounting/Business area. And I was like, "I like science better."
Anyway, I'm planning on doing a Science degree. Majoring in Biological science or something.
And if I fail at Biology this year, guess what? I can always do it next year. But that is plan B. Or plan C. And the Science degree (Bachelor of Science) is easier to get into than Medicine and stuff. You don't need 90 as an ENTER score. You only need 79 or something. Which will be easier. But I will still aim for 99. I just won't get 99. I'm not THAT smart.
I get my Biology exam result tomorrow! Not very exciting considering I will probably fail. But oh well, I tried my best.
At the moment, I will be getting 5 correct in my footy tipping. And if St Kilda and Fremantle win, I will get 7! *celebrates*
But I can't get 8 because I am a Collingwood supporter and I tipped Collingwood. It isn't that bad. Jason Akermanis picked Collingwood. I know he is an idiot but have you seen the ad that goes, "No one is tougher than Jason." I love that ad. I know them all off by heart. ^_^
I have a task for you all.
First line: a noun Second line: two adjectives joined by and to describe this noun Third line: a verb and an adverb to describe this noun in action Fourth line: begin with like or as, followed by a simile Final line: start with if only followed by a wish
I will give you an example and then I want you to produce your own. This ends on Thursday, k?
Example:
Death
Peaceful and conclusive
Ending quickly
Like blowing out a candle
If only we could choose when.
The example was done by a ~friend of mine therefore it is good. =]

I'M BACK... LAURA'S BACK, TELL A FRIEND.
Wow. I have not blogged on here for ages. I lost the fan fiction competition by the way. My story was pretty crap because I wrote about characters from books I have never read.
I was pretty pissed off when I found out I didn't win. But I got over it. Jack Heath is a nice guy and I have no reason to hate him. =]
In June, I did my Biology Unit 3 exam. I get the results on Monday. It is really scary. I don't know whether I passed or failed. I'll probably open up the envelope and be totally disappointed. Or I might be happy. But the chances of getting a good result is highly unlikely. Probably impossible but I can't be negative. I'll stay possimistic (what the hell have I been watching on TV?!)
Just because I haven't blogged on here for ages doesn't mean I've been totally obsessed with Big Brother. It is totally the opposite. I wanted Big Brother to die. Not the person, I meant the television show. Big Brother (the person) is a great guy. He has such a manly, sexy voice. It is like, "This is Big Brother. Laura, to the diary room immediately. That is all."
Lol, I love Dale Thomas more than Big Brother, by the way.
See ya soon. I'll blog on here more often, alright?

MY STORY FOR THE COMPETITION.
THE NEW KID
By LauraD
Entry in jackheath.com.au fanfiction competition.
"Michaela! Wait for me!"
That would be my little sister. She is such a pain. I'm late for school and my sister just has to be there to make things worse. I stopped running. "Alright, Sophie, I'll wait."
Sophie caught up to me and we walked together. She walks so slow. Finally we reached the school. I walked in to my classroom just as Mrs Newbury was handing out the test.
"Michaela, what happened? You're late," Mrs Newbury said sternly.
"Sorry Miss. I'm really sorry."
"Well, don't dawdle. Take a seat."
I sat down with Natalie and Yasmin. And there was a boy with black sunglasses sitting with them. When did he come?
We all did the test and went out to recess. I found Natalie and the new boy sitting in our usual spot. "Hello," I said, sitting down.
"Michaela, have you met Agent Six of Hearts?" asked Nat.
"No, I haven't," I replied, "Hello Agent Six of Hearts."
"Hi. You may call me Six," the boy said.
"Sure." I started thinking about the name Six; it was unusual. And Nat said he was an agent. Could he be a ...
"Hey, Michaela!" Yasmin tapped me on the shoulder, "Stop daydreaming."
"Oh, what? Sorry..." I muttered.
"Why were you late? Did you sleep in?" asked Yasmin.
"No, my little sister is so slow at walking," I replied.
"Same as usual, huh?" Nat said, giggling. I didn't feel like giggling today. I had a headache and I also wondered what a spy would be doing in out school.
I walked home as per usual. I stopped at the milk bar to grab something to eat. I was getting my wallet out of my pocket when someone yells, "Michaela!"
"What?" I said, turning around. Six was standing there with his black sunglasses. Oh, he was so cute.
"Hi Michaela. I didn't think I'd see you here," he said, "How're you doing?"
"Um, yeah. I'm good." I flicked my fringe back and bought my chocolate bar. "Which way do you walk home?"
"That way," Six replied, pointing.
"Me too!"
So we walked together. He told me about his old school and how a boy bullied him.
"I can never fit in with boys - they are too tough. And the girls at my old school laughed at me," Six explained.
I put my arm around him. "Aw, don't worry."
We arrived at my house and Sophie came out to see me.
"Is that your boyfriend?" she teased.
"Soph! Shut up!" I said goodbye to Six and went inside. Gosh, that little sister can be a pest.
The phone rang later that night. It was Six.
"Hey Michaela," he said, "Want to come around to my house? We can go to a cafe. I can get 2 for 1 deals on a Saturday."
"Sure, I'd love to."
"Okay, see ya then!"
"Okay, bye." And I hung up.
We met at Six’s house and walked to the café. I ordered a hot chocolate and Six got a frothy coffee and two muffins; one for me and one for him.
“Michaela, I heard that you are doing Biology this year,” said Six as we sat down.
“Um, yeah,” I said, shyly.
“I’m doing Biology too. The year 12 one. Are you going well?”
“Yeah. Considering I’m a year 11 doing a year 12 subject,” I giggled.
Six laughed. “You can help me study.”
“Sure. I helped Nat study for Maths last year. She ended up getting 100% for her exam,” I giggled again, “But she was always smart at Maths.”
“No, she wasn’t. She told me.”
“Oh.” I sipped at my hot chocolate and took a bite of my muffin.
We ate our food and walked along the street. So many shops along this road; with good quality items in each shop.
“Did I tell you I won a trip to Russia?” Six said suddenly, breaking the silence.
“What? Really” I’ll miss you,” I said, groaning.
“No, you won’t. I want to take you with me. I have two tickets for Russia.”
“Oh my gosh! Really?” I was excited.
“The trip is for about 5 years. I’m also doing an university course over there. I got a scholarship.”
“What? Then why did you bring up Biology?” I was so confused.
“Well, the uni course in Russia is medicine. And it involves biology.”
“I can’t go to Russia! I’ll miss my friends and family…” I started to cry. I couldn’t leave Australia. I loved this country. Adored it.
“Michaela, don’t worry. It’ll be fine. We’ll go to your house now and you can tell your parents,” said Six, reassuringly.
“Okay.”
We walked back to my house. I got to the front door and rang the doorbell. My mum answered it.
“Hey Mum. This is Six; he’s my friend.”
“Hello Michaela. Hi Six,” said Diane.
“Mum, can I go to Russia with Six? He invited me because he won two tickets…” I trailed off but luckily Six stepped in and told my mum the rest of the details.
“Oh, Michaela! You may go. Russia is a good place to finish your education. I studied in Russia too. Did you know that?”
I looked up, amazed. “Really?” I asked, “You’ll let me go?”
“Of course. But I’ll miss you. When do you leave?”
“Tomorrow,” replied Six.
“I’d better pack now!” I suddenly exclaimed.
Once I had packed for Russia, I rang Yasmin and Nat to say goodbye. I hugged Mum, Dad and Sophie and started crying.
“Mum, I’ll call you every night. Dad, I love you and I’ll miss you. And Sophie… Sophie, I love you…” I told them all.
Mum drove Six and I to the airport. I said goodbye one more time and waved goodbye. I stayed close to Six and he put his arms around me. Everyone was pushing past us so we sat down and waited for the plane.

“Michaela, don’t worry. It’ll be fine. We’ll go to your house now and you can tell your parents,” said Six, reassuringly.
“Okay.”
We walked back to my house. I got to the front door and rang the doorbell. My mum answered it.
“Hey Mum. This is Six; he’s my friend.”
“Hello Michaela. Hi Six,” said Diane.
“Mum, can I go to Russia with Six? He invited me because he won two tickets…” I trailed off but luckily Six stepped in and told my mum the rest of the details.
“Oh, Michaela! You may go. Russia is a good place to finish your education. I studied in Russia too. Did you know that?”
I looked up, amazed. “Really?” I asked, “You’ll let me go?”
“Of course. But I’ll miss you. When do you leave?”
“Tomorrow,” replied Six.
“I’d better pack now!” I suddenly exclaimed.
Once I had packed for Russia, I rang Yasmin and Nat to say goodbye. I hugged Mum, Dad and Sophie and started crying.
“Mum, I’ll call you every night. Dad, I love you and I’ll miss you. And Sophie… Sophie, I love you…” I told them all.
Mum drove Six and I to the airport. I said goodbye one more time and waved goodbye. I stayed close to Six and he put his arms around me. Everyone was pushing past us so we sat down and waited for the plane.
