I&apos;m so upset.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My system is all munted. I drink three cans of V to keep myself awake and stay up texting till three AM almost every morning.

  <title>OMG</title>
  <link>http://blondandahalf.livejournal.com/2945.html</link>
  <description>I can&apos;t wait for this week to end. I need to get AWAAAAAY from school, it&apos;s so gay. I ate Pods yesterday (THANKYOU YUKO!) they are so yummy, like, I remember when I went up North with Janelle and we ate them like, every day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So this weekend I&apos;m working Saturday AND Sunday. I really can&apos;t be bothered, I would much rather party instead like the rest of South Auckland&apos;s teens. Sheree is moving her party date AGAIN. I don&apos;t think I&apos;ll go...it&apos;s not my scene. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today we have this bake sale thing for MakePovertyHistory Group. I made banana cake and iced it with chocolate icing. It looks okay, I&apos;ve never made banana cake before, probably because I don&apos;t actually like banana cake. My geo teacher just waved at me. I totally screwed up on my exams.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got three N/As for Maths and two achieved, on number and trig. For info I got 84%, whatever that means, and for French, so far, I know I got two merits. For English I got three Excellences and an achieved, and for geo I got a merit and an achieved...omg. I need 6 more maths credits to get into uni.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No one really seemed to mind, so it looks like I&apos;ll have a pretty cruisy summer. And I might be going to Whitianga over New Year&apos;s with some friends...wooo party! Man I so can&apos;t wait for next term to be over too so we can have a long break. I can&apos;t wait for christmas either, this year&apos;s christmas is going to be the best!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gawsh, I do write a lot for someone whose journal nobody reads.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;xxx</description>

  <description>OMG I ate so much rubbish yesterday. I had like, a fanta and chips and a chocolate bar, and then McDonalds for tea. (I saw Yuko-Amelia. HI YUKO!) XD.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So yeah. I feel really urrgghhh. Like that. Yeah. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We&apos;re going to Waihi tonight, I like can&apos;t wait, I think I&apos;ll go for a run on the beach when we&apos;re down there. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last night I went shopping. I really hate these fuggugling polka dots and the reds and blues, they&apos;re so bland and so dull. So the only thing I&apos;d found was this turquoise and white striped V neck knit top and then we went into JeansWest. And then I was in my element! YESSSS! We walked out $200 lighter but I got some jean shorts, a black crocheted shawl thingy with sleeves and this really deep, rich red cropped, button up, elbow length V-neck top. It was so cute! And then I tried on all these dresses but I was like, whatever. So yesss! Now I have new clothes.</description>

  <title>Clichéd Cogitations</title>
  <link>http://blondandahalf.livejournal.com/2409.html</link>
  <description>Tearaway accepted this! They&apos;re gonna pay me for them! OMG OMG!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clichéd Cogitations&lt;br /&gt;BY ELESE DOWDEN&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AQUARIUS&lt;br /&gt;The Queen of Hearts, she made some tarts, all on a summer’s day. The Knave of Hearts scoffed the lot. Don’t trust your mates, they steal your home baking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PISCES&lt;br /&gt;Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither was the Titanic. Don’t jinx your boat by calling it the Unsinkable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ARIES&lt;br /&gt;She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah. Your fans may have loved you too, John, but you must recall that if it wasn’t for one in particular, you’d still be singing. With a love like that, you know you should be glad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TAURUS&lt;br /&gt;Sticks and stones may break your bones, but large boulders can kill. Steer clear of Lord of the Flies memorabilia and the local quarry, and you should be fine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GEMINI&lt;br /&gt;Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, we love you! In no way does this relate to your future or fortune, but it does sound cool.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CANCER&lt;br /&gt;In my day, we didn’t have any of this fame and fortune nonsense. But then the light bulb was invented. Get your A into G and flick your switch before a rotten apple falls on your head and knocks you into a coma.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LEO&lt;br /&gt;Civil Defence will save us! Yeah, right, says Tui. Drown your sorrows instead; that way we’ll ALL have a better chance of survival. Yeah, right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;VIRGO&lt;br /&gt;A, B, C, D, E, F, G. There are only two places that success comes before work; the dictionary and Big Wednesday. Save yourself some money, the lotto ticket is cheaper. H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LIBRA&lt;br /&gt;My grandmother taught me to always wear clean underwear, in case I get hit by a bus. Someday, your bus will come, and your underwear will be the least of your worries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SCORPIO&lt;br /&gt;She looks like a flower but she stings like a bee! Fortunately for Ricky, not every man wants to date a Venus Fly Trap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SAGGITARIUS&lt;br /&gt;Tina, come get some ham! Napoleon is secretly trying to tell you that you’re too skinny. Gawsh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CAPRICORN&lt;br /&gt;Poi E, whaka-tata mai! Now this one’s a no-brainer. Cut and paste with the help of that annoying paperclip and you’ll have yourself an abstract Chart Hit. Poi…Heads, shoulders, knees and toes, TAKU POI E!</description>

But no one is like &quot;OMG! CALL THE PARAMEDIC!&quot;. Oh well. One day I will get my ride in an ambulance. Not sure what for, but I think I will.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am thinking about eating the chocolate bar in my pocket. Maybe. Maybe I will share it with YukoAmelia and Nix in English.</description>
