Gah, my head feels as if it's about to explode, seriously!

-I have some sort of sinus infection going on and it feels as if my nasal cavity has been filled with acid. DNW!

-I can't be bothered doing the '30 day meme' thing tonight so, I'll just do two days of it tomorrow. it will be special.

-I have a work christmas party this saturday night, oh joy!

I'll leave you with a picture I took at a rainforest that's not far from my house.

This was a hard one because I've grown up being a) an only child and b) a nerd, so watching movies has always been one of my favorite boredom killers.

I grew up being obsessed with Tim Burton. I repeatedly watched Edward Scissorhands and Beetlejuice when I was little (at that age I didn't realise they were made by the same person, so it's funny how my young mind was drawn to his imagination) and I actually wore out my tape of Drop Dead Fred because I watched it so many times.

I have many 'favorite movies' but, there was one that really sucked me in and I instantly fell in love with it the first time I saw it back in 06'. Howl's Moving Castle

I wasn't really into the whole anime thing and I hadn't seen the directors previous film 'Spirited Away'. I first watched it on DVD at a friends house and I immediately asked if I could borrow it. I watched it 3 times that weekend.


The imagination and creativity that went into the film is unbelievable. I couldn't help but fall in love with all of the characters. If I somehow win millions of dollars, my plan is to replicate Howl's castle. I'm not joking either, I just think it would be way cool. If you've seen it you'll know what I'm talking about, if you haven't I would recommend that you do.

Hi, I'm sorry I've been neglecting you, LJ.

-I only have like 5 friends on here so I guess people aren't really missing out?
I live in a small piece of crap town called Heyfield, here is a little gem I found  on youtube that gives you a small idea of how cool it is here;



yes, that actually happens right between football and cricket season, the fun just never stops. 

-oh and let's talk about how this town of 1,500 people has its share of creeps. Seriously!
So last night it was really hot and bored so I sent a text to my neighbor asking if she wanted to come for a walk. Her name is Ebony and she moved in next door about 10 years ago, her dad was diagnosed with cancer 2 years ago and we became pretty close. He died in July. It sucked because he was a totally rad dude and never complained  when me and my friends decided to be noisy assholes in the street, unlike the other neighbors who would call the cops over the volume on the t.v being too high.

Moving on. So, she replies and we walk down to the local park which is about 2 km's away from our houses. Now, my town has always felt pretty safe, but I will admit it's fucking creepy to walk around here after dark. We take the long, winding path and finally reach that park which is pretty big considering the size of the town. There's one street light to light the whole park, which was flicking on and off and only added to the creep factor. We head straight for the swings and hop on like a couple of 5 year olds who don't get out enough, we then talk about our day for a few minutes and then laugh at how dodgy the chain on the swing is. There was a moment of silence and I saw someone staggering across the road
"oh look, another drunk" I said
She laughed as he turned the corner and began to walk up the street. As I watch him walk off in the distance, I see something move to the right of me. 

At first I thought it was a shadow so I pretended I didn't see anything and just kept swinging, all the while keeping my eyes on the shadow under the fort thing (you know the fort thing I'm talking about, they have them at most parks and they have slides and bridges and all that stuff that kids go ape-shit over) 

The dodgy street light flicks back on and lights up the park a little more. That's when I saw the shadow move again, only this time I realized it wasn't a shadow, it was the figure of a person hiding on the fort. I then see another figure move, they're hiding under the fort... on the ground that is, right next to us. I felt the hair stand up on the back of my neck and I had instant goosebumps. I kept my cool and didn't say anything to Ebony, until I saw the person move again, only this time I realized they were crawling across the fort on their hands and feet. Yes, hands and feet. Not hands and knees crawling, he was using his hands and feet like some straight up exorcist shit. 

I told Ebony to come closer and quietly told her about these two lurkers behind us who had been watching us swing and listening to our conversation. 
"okay, Kain can we please go...right now" she said in a very shaken voice.
We quickly hop off the swings and start walking towards the road. Behind us I hear one of the people make some strange squealing noise, it's then that I realize this noise is coming from a kid. The two little fuckers then ran across the park and through the light. Yes two little kids almost gave me a panic attack. Kids. I then felt stupid that these kids had frightened me so much, who did they think they were?
 
This little incident made me hate all children just a little more. 

1. You can ONLY answer 'Yes' or 'No'.

2. You are NOT ALLOWED to explain ANYTHING unless someone messages or comments you and asks—and, believe me, the temptation to explain some of these will be overwhelming. Nothing is exactly as it seems.

Every time I promise myself I'm going to update this thing, I don't, hence my last journal was added seven weeks ago.

I'm undecided if I'm going to go the the Triple J 'One Night Stand' concert, it's a free concert that's organized by the Triple J radio station. This year it's going to be half an hour away from my house.

It's not so much that I don't like the bands that are playing (Eskimo Joe and Hilltop Hoods), I just know that it's going to attract a bunch of trouble making country fools. Seriously. I've already predicted that the sunday news is going to say something along the lines of "police are outraged over the poor behavior and alcohol related crimes and assaults"

I hope people prove me wrong.

I saw some sweet Supra's in a shop yesterday. They were the blue and white High-tops, and they were under $200 which was also a bonus considering i paid $230 for my black and purple ones. 

I had to bum around for three hours by myself yesterday while my car was having its new CD player fitted. I thought it would be incredibly boring. Turns out it wasn't. After I left the Autobarn, I walked past a book store and figured I should go in and buy something to read while I was waiting for my brooom brooom to be finished. I bought a big hardcover book about Wolverine, it's full of awesome pictures and it's like an encyclopedia about him, I also bought Judith Lucy's Autobiography. I can't wait to start it, she is hilarious! I then went into a cafe and ordered an ice chocolate and some lemon slice and read through my new Wolverine book. The time flew past and I actually enjoyed having all this time to myself. 

I might start adding awesome crap to my car, just so I have a reason to buy more books and read them alone in the cafe. 

So who remember Pokemon cards?

Yeah they were rad right? until grade 4 when every school banned them, like tamagotchi and digimon, for some unknown and probably ridiculous reason.

I remember all the kids at school were jealous of me because I told them that I was the owner of a holographic 'Charizard' card. This card was the holy grail of Pokemon cards at the time. Little did they know i had swapped it with a kid at a local flea market and it was in the worst condition out of my whole collection, but hey it was Charizard and I thought it was awesome. 
At the time my father was working full time at the local timber mill, which he still works at and my mother had recently quit her job because it caused her to develop a severe case of depression. So, I never paid for any of my cards, I either stole them from other kids or was given everyone else's spares.

The kids didn't believe me so one day I decided to take it to school. When I proudly removed it from the bottom of my second hand deck, the kids all started laughing at me and told me I was "too 'povo' to have a real Charizard card" 
I quickly put it back to the bottom of my small deck and was told that I wasn't allowed to play cards with them anymore. I held back my tears because I didn't want the kids to pick on me for crying too (which would have certainly happened) and then sat to the side while these douches continued playing with their cards. 

Today while looking through an old shoe box, I found this Charizard card which had caused me so much embarrassment. I thought back to that day and remember how all those kids had treated me, and then I laughed at myself for getting upset over something so small. 
Kinda funny how one little card can bring back a memory and make it so clear, as if it happened yesterday.
