:D...

Today, in spite of wearing sunscreen, I got a slight sunburn across my nose.

Why?

Because after spending over an hour on an ocean raft I spent two hours swimming and hanging out on the whitest white sand beach ever before snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef for an hour.

This was one of the best days of my life.. and my most worthwhile sunburn ever :D

Rob's grad was FUN! He can't tell you that right now because he's out partying with his classmates.

Ellie man, I'm working on it but you so don't have recpetion in your house. Or else I'm secretly hostile because you broke the pact.

And Canderz, you know I love you and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I did call you from a dodgy pay phone. I didn't even call my parents. YOU'RE TOTALLY COMING TO AUSTRALIA SOON!!!! :D :D :D

I do love that people are trying to win the contest of my love. It makes me feel important.

I'm not sure if I'll have any more internet connections. Maybe in 4 days when I'm in Byron Bay

Is there a way that I can get ahold of Bob through email? I have a question to ask him. Thanks

5:28 PM  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

Raeanne, I figure it isn't too safe to post an Email address here so I phoned your mom for your Email address and Bob will contact you through it.

Everyone, I was lonely for Elizabeth so much today ... I think because she isn't in daily contact. Anyway, when I came home from work, there was a parcel containing a disk of all her photos from Feb. and March. That cheered me up immensely!

Oh, and I'm not lonely for Rob because we just spent the greatest day with him on Saturday!

awwww- people like rob- thats sweet
and mathew- i wasnt the one mentioning that the canadians are lagging behind on the commments front- and plus- who are you to complain- us aussies have been and gone through our half yearlies without failing to comment
and i'll have you know that we are currently enrolled in a scholastic course that has a freakishly high suicidal rate- know this so you cant pull any "but you're just in highschool" stuff- WE MAY BE IN HIGHSCHOOL BUT OUR HORMONES ARE CRAZIER THAN YOURS!

Thank you Mrs. King!
On another note.. I'm excited to liz to come back to civilization. It will be great to email her again and get a response. and of course to see all her pictures. It's only 3 weeks and I'm done school, so there's something to celebrate, but unlike the spoiled canadians going to canadian uni's.. I have 2 days of exams.. that's it. It's very similar to the tests we took at WJH.. haha

Blogger jerky said...

Canderz, you may be chasing liz half way around the world, but Liz herself travelled around the world to come to us!
Plus I am better than ed, so I win hands down.

How i envy your lack of hangover, ed and canderz. Despite this, Liz still loves me more.

Yeah, Matt, (I'm calling you matt now) it was me complaiing about the lack of canadians. But might I say that the Canadians have really picked up their game in the field of commenting!! Well done!!

Peace out.

dont worry rob- simon is lonely for you that way- hes just too chicken to admit his true feelings and come right out and say that HE HEARTS YOU!
how long are you staying for canderz? we should organise a momentous occasion whilst you are in the land down under
like rollerskating....or roller disco
something with rollerskates....
like throwing them at people...or native wildlife...either way
raeanne- stop ebing sentimental and sweet and get in on some aggression man- you owe it to us!

i dont know why, but YOU DO MAN!

Thank you, thank you Elizabeth for giving me the best day of your trip! Thank you for looking up Ross and meeting him. He sent me a great photo of the two of you and then two of you. By the way, Dad and I walked out to that lighthouse and I believe we have a picture somewhere of us standing just about where you are standing. Love you immensely!

Blogger jerky said...

"In the beginning God[2] created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the Spirit of God was moving over the face of the waters."[3] God makes the first day and night; the "firmament" separating "the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament;" dry land and seas and plants and trees which grew fruit with seed; the sun, moon and stars in the firmament give light upon the earth; creates air-breathing sea creatures and birds; and on the sixth day, makes "the beasts of the earth according to their kinds." "Then God said, Let us make man[4] in our image ... in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them."[5] On the Sabbath (or seventh) day God rests from the task of completing the heavens and the earth: "So God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, because on it God rested from all his work which he had done in creation."

Now that we know the weight of many things around us, we can adjust out coke intake accordingly.

E.g. If I drink 200mL of coke, that is 86 calories. therefore, I must lift Christine's book 6.4 times to burn off those precious pounds!

Success!
