Decided to finally add a picture from my trip to Sydney, Australia.

It's not the best, as I wasn't really in the mood for standing around snapping. I just wanted to get inside the Opera House and see the concert. Not to mention our camera is incredibly nasty and horrible.



I had to lighten the picture, because the sky was a bit gray looking. I think because it was getting dark.

Also I took that picture in a very impatient mood, that's why the camera is tilted slightly.

I love Sydney SO much. I just really like Traveling. I don't really like Christchurch very much. It's a great place, but it doesn't carry very nice memories for me at school (except this year), and I plan to get out of here A.S.A.P. Whenever I leave NZ my health always seems to improve, and stuff I usually don't really like doing (Like going out in Public) I really like. For me I think it is because I'm unlikely to see anyone who made my life a misery overseas. 

Another thing I LOVE about Sydney are the houses! I tried to search for them, but they weren't any, the closest I could find was this:



I wish I lived somewhere like that... Far away from New Zealand.

Yay! Two new CDs.

I got Lou Reed - Transformer, and Tori Amos - Boys For Pele, for the mere cost of $20!

I also got some chocolate and had a coffee. Mmmmmm.

I was searching through the mountain of junk in our living room with my mum and stumbled upon this amazing ring. It's a green/blue kind of colour, and it's so AMAZING! I asked my mum where she'd got it and when, because I'd never seen it before and she said that she found it, in New York! She said she found lots of jewellery scattered along the street one day.

I'm starting to think that New York has streets paved with gold c:

I'm feeling so sick. 

And I'm learning 'Winter' by Tori Amos on the piano. It matches the shit weather where I live. 

It sound so simple and I was thinking, "Hah! A monkey could play that!" 

Instead it is just flat after flat after flat after flat. I hate flats.

Home Sweet Home Tomorrow !

Sydney is the Coolest [I couldn't think of a better word...] place in the Whole World.

Tori Amos was ASTOUNDINGLY AMAZING. Even though she played only two songs that I knew...

I got some Presents for my Brothers :3

So awhile ago I was really obsessed with finding the sheet music from the movie 'The Piano'. Anyway it was completely impossible and I couldn't find a single website that had a free download. (Then I realized my friend had the sheet music so she gave it to me...). Yesterday I randomly stumbled across the sheet music, on 2 different sites!

So to anyone that wants it

This is the official version; NOT a simplified version :)

I also found Tori Amos sheet music!

http://pianorific.blogspot.com/ <<< An amazing site that has pretty much every song ever written.

Yay I'm getting 'Kemble' my piano, next week! :D

SCREAM

I AM SO HAPPY!

I haven't been this happy since the weekend, and anyway, that was a different kind of happy.

I'm going to Sydney! To see Tori Amos! 

I have been screaming inside for the past 2 hours. 

I have completed the 10 hours of work, I have sat by patiently. 

YAY FINALLY, I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR THE PAST 14 YEARS! 

Ok, maybe not. 

Spent the morning working in a desperate attempt to get the $130 needed for Tori Amos concert ticket.

Though I am most very, probably, definately, actually going. That's like 98% chance.

A tsunami is meant to hit Christchurch in 3 minutes. Hah.

I thought it would be like this

Apparently it was "cancelled" because it was only 40cm high. And there I was frantically txting family saying my last goodbyes and telling them to flee to the hills.

I felt like such an idiot txting them again saying, "Sorry about that. You're probably going to be safe, I doubt it's going to go further then the beach."

!

WOW!

It is hard to believe, but there is a 50% chance I will be seeing Tori Amos live in Sydney!

And there's one thing for sure, my mum definitely loves me! Most kids are like, 'Blah Blah my parents hate me, they block me every chance they get blah blah'. My mum was the one who wrote to all our relatives and every single person we knew to see if I could stay with them and if they were going etc. So... Thanks mum.

I'm not actually going yet though.

We're buying the ticket tomorrow. If it's still there.

I'll be going on my own but that's fine with me, because I'll probably start crying when Tori Amos starts playing.

And I wonder if she sells her sheet music there?

Hmmm...

I so hope it works out!

.

Life is seriously horrible at the moment.

I miss my brothers and dad and even step mum so much.

<<< That's one of my little brothers... I look horrible in every single picture, so I'm not adding any more.

Why can't they live in Christchurch?!

My mum was saying maybe if I wanted I could move up there... but I really wouldn't want to leave her and my school and stuff. I'd be stuck in a tiny town going to a crummy school... NO.

But I know if they moved down here they'd probably miss the 'whanau' (family)... and all their friends. I'd be happy, but they'd probably be miserable.

I'm never going to win.

I'm probably going to go up and visit them for Christmas, and spend my birthday with my mum.

Me and Tahu (my brother) played the maori version of 'tag'. Not that different, but instead of saying 'tag' like normal people do, we say 'pa'. I'm so much faster then him it's so funny!

And guessss what! There's a Tori Amos concert in Sydney, and we happen to have a free ticket to Sydney... !! Only one though, so I'd have to go on my own. It's even at the Opera House, WOW! I'll have to stay with relatives and all that but it's SO WORTH IT!
