Keep Smiling (it makes people wonder what your up to!)

For my school Compass award I needed to do trip that goes for 2 days and 1 night so my class planned a trip to Melbourne.

Day 1:

I had to get up at 5:00am to make it to the train station and it took 2 hours to get to Melbourne. The first thing we did was go to the aquarium. I took a bunch of photos of lots of strange looking fish. Maybe I'll post some. I don't know. We went to this rock climbing place. I was terrified at first but I eventually gathered enough courage to make it to the top. Go me! lol We got to go to the Victoria Market! It had heaps of stuff but the only thing I brought was a MCR t-shirt. It is way too big but I don't really care. Too big is better then too small. Ice skating was next. It was okay at first. I'm definitely the most uncoordinated person ever. At least I only fell over 3 times. Did you know that ice is very hard? The second time I fell I really hurt myself. I sprained my left wrist, made my lower back bruise and swell up, bruised my right hand and I now have a blister on my foot. My left wrist had to have an ice pack but that didn't stop me from getting back on the ice. But when I fell over again it made my wrist hurt again so I thought I should stop. My teacher had to carry my bag for the rest of the day and I had to use my friends tie as a sling. I had a lot of pizza for tea (Sonia: finally I get pizza!!). Then we spent ages trying to get to the place where we were gonna stay the night.

Day 2:

The next day we caught a train to the zoo. The zoo was awesome! I saw monkeys, orang-utans, lions, snow leopards, tigers, platypuses, elephants, turtles, peacocks, meerkats, lots of snakes and lizards, bears and GIRAFFES!!! (Sorry, I just really like giraffes...) At this point I was starting to hate everything: it was getting hot, my feet were aching, my shoulders hurt, I was tired and my wrist was bandaged. We left the zoo at around 12. (Mili: I didn't see any koalas. =P) The next 2 hours we were at IMAX theatre watching a movie. It was an okay movie, I guess. Then we went around to a few stores to see if we wanted to buy anything. I brought my sister a Nightmare Before Christmas belt form Jay Jays. =) And then we just got the train back home.

Now I'm back at home with a sore back, wrist, arm and foot and I have a headache, a sore tooth and a really bad cold. I hate everything.

Thanks for reading my useless story. =)

Emo stands for emotional, right? Shouldn't all bands be a little bit emotional?

No. He looks cool without them on anyway.

Most definetly.



Could you ever stop liking them?
I don't think so. I hope not!!!

Yes. But I haven't even gotten my ears pierced yet so I would probably chicken out.

I lost count.



Have you had to rebuy cds because you wore them out from listening to them too much?
Not yet.


If you could say anything to them, what would you say?
"I know that you would have heard this a lot but MCR has changed the way I see music and I want to thank you for that.... Oh wait, you can't see music.

Nope but I will.


What is the most you would pay to see them in concert?
All my money. Hell, I would even dance for money on the street to pay!

Sometime in 2006 when TBP first came out.

When did you start to like MCR?
The year after that. I really started liking them on the 1st of July 2008.

Did you make them like them (Come on, admit it)


I convinced Rachel but everyone else think I'm strange for liking them so much. lol =)

I haven't posted a journal yet so I thought I would. I don't have anything intresting to say so I'll just have a rant about how I went to Geelong a couple of weeks ago. You can feel free to ignore this journal. =)

 A couple of weeks ago my family had to go to Geelong because Brian needed to go to the hospital. I haven't actually been outside of Colac for about a year maybe so I was pretty excited. While waiting for Brian's appointment we went to have a look around. First we went to JayJays but I didn't buy anything because the only things I wanted were to small for me, even though it was the size SMALL! I mean come on! I'm not that tiny! Anyway we went to a music store next where I found a MCR poster! I was so happy! It's the only one a have and it's really big! After that we just walked around for a while doing nothing until my sister, Kirsty, took me to the library because she knew that they had a music section. I brought a book about MCR called This Band Will Save Your Life by Reinhardt Haydn. The book is ok but I don't like his writing style. After that I just got a bottle of Coke and left. So that is my totally useless and boring story. Thank you for ignoring =) lol

I'd show you a picture of my poster and the book but I don't know how to add images on this...
