Cheers! The MP3 player is still working! Today is the second to last day in Auzzie. I've definitley fell in love with this place. Middle and youngest sister went surfing earlier today. We went yesterday and although it wasn't my cup of tea, they def enjoyed it. We took a tour of S & L's land (beautiful). Their daughter is so sweet and so is their dog. Tons of kangaroos. We also checked out the old caravan and recording studio. Then we went to Bawley point strip mall. Grilled chicken burger. Book box. Overpriced cool hat. Then we killed time at home before going to a Thai place. Very nice, but I kept getting distracted by the mural in the restraunt on the opposite room. Great talk with Uncle, we both have similar music taste which is great! Music really bonds people together. I'm tired- more later.

Oh gee isn't this nice. The minute I bring down the new watercolor paints, Middle sister and Youngest sister are suddenly disinterested in seemingly everything but painting. I hid the brushes from them at first but the I eventually gave them up. And holey moley middle sister was using it like acrylics. What a waste.

Everytime I try and correct them, they get pissed. And middle sister was seriously mumbling at me despite the scolding me for mumbling earlier. I feel bad for yelling at them first, but now I'm just pissed. Youngest sister ran up to her room crying now I have that on my conscience. JFC. Can I get a break. Also I dropped my mp3 player in the bath >:(

Today I got the first pangs of homesickness. The AirBnB has no wifi. Neither does any public buisness it seems. I can be away from the internet just fine, but I miss my friends so much it hurts. I have no one my age to talk to. I have no peers to laugh with. I want to talk to the people in the discord group chat. I want to watch JJBA part 5. I want to jump in teh car and drive to get chicken sandwiches. I love my family, but being around them for almost two weeks now is driving me up the wall.

On a lighter note, I've been thinking on how I would want to decorate my room if I lived here. I took a fake patch of succulents from the living room and placed it on my vanity. It looks quite nice. Although I don't adore the room colour, it's not bad. I thought at first I would like the bed in the corner, but now I prefer it by the window. You can get a peak of the ocean which is quite lovelyl

It would be a twin bed with red sheets. I think I would place my moon tapestry between the two windows, and suspend the fairy lights above it. I would place my attack on titan and Skyrim posters on the closet doors, as well as some printouts of beloved anime characters. I would put NCT on the sliding door, since it looks wide enough.

My jewlery tree would be on one side of the mirror and my inspiration collage would be on the other side. I'm not completely sure what would go on the other side of the room. I'm not feeling well enough to well on it if I'm honest. Also my hand is cramping.

I'm quite tired so hopefully this will be a short entry. We left Kotoomba and took the train to Sydney. Fashionable boy on the train. Got to the airport. There was free wifi so I downloaded the wrestling fic. I shoud've downloaded the prince & prince fic now that I think about it. Drove down to Dolphin Point. Stopped at Cole's for food. June came over. Picked out my room. More tomorrow.

If i remember correctly, we went back to Sydney to rent a car, then drove down to the town where my uncle lives. June is his partner. We stayed in a house a short drive from where they live.

Went hiking again today at the blue mountains!! Walked down and checked out some cool waterfalls before taking the railway back up. I really love the jewlery in the shops- especially the custom made (I think thats the brand) and alchemy jewlery. I've come to realize that I love looking at jewlery, but I'm not much of a jewlery wearer. We also went into Leura and checked out the shops.

Had a lovely chat with the woman in the Latin store while Middle Sister bought an alpaca keychain. There were a lot of cool shops down there. But best of all, I wrote a lot last night and tonight. I think not having wifi for a few days really clears up the schedule- no mindless srolling through Instagram which is great. I should only allow myself so much scrolling per day. It really is a waste of time.

I really like this room I have with middle sister. It would never work out because there isn't enough room for a desk, but the sloped ceilings are lovely.

Ok so I know it's been a month and a half since I last wrote in this and I really have no excuse. I've been lazy. End of story. I want to write a lot so I don't forget it later.

For one, I've been playing a lot of awesome games. Life is Strange, Oxenfree & Danganronpa 2 (and other assorted random free indie games on steam). I started watching Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and it is a really great show. Really good. I legit can't pick a favorite part since they're all so good but probably 4?? It's much more lowkey than the others. Most of the villains become friends, plus Josuke & Okuyasu are cuties. Kristin and I have talked a lot because of JJBA, which is great!!

Started listening to Ricky Montgomery & Two Door Cinema Club's new album came out (it slaps :D). Satisfaction Guarenteed is my favorte track (and is also a great name for a stand).

And, most importantly, I'm in Australia! We stayed a week in Sydney at a three story air bnb at the Rocks. It was pretty close to the Sydney Opera House. Sydney is definitely pretty sweet, def a nice city, but you can't beat the outdoors.

Before I forget, here's a schedule of what we did:

Monday: arrived at the airport, walked around to the Opera house and ate at the underground opera restaurant. Went to the I.G.A for groceries.

Tuesday: took the ferry to the Taronga zoo. Had a delicious ham and tomato wrap. Had sandwiches for dinner. Bird show, giraffes, cassowarys, and more.

Wednesday: Bus tour and the Beautiful Bondi Beach. Souvenir.

Thursday: Seal life, pd started :( museum of austrlia (history and natural history). St Mary's tree across from Hyde park. We stopped by a four story high end mall. Very high end stuff, but there was a hobby store at the end of the fourth floor. I found a Trish and Narancia figure which is cool (ok i freaked out alot).

Friday: Museum of Contemporary Art (meh).

Saturday: Me n' youngest sister went to Macca's for another mud muffin. Then we looked around the shops. (near the visitors center) I got a nice bag for Cameron, I hope she likes it! It has a kangaroo on it. We also looked at some outdoor shops, I saw a cute purse with a cat on it. Then we went to see an opera at the opera house. It was Anne Bolyne, which was really really good. They had massive LCD screens with warped mirrors on the opposite sides, which gave nice atmosphere to all the different acts. When Anne was decapitated, she had an out of body experience. When the dancer's sword swung down, the other dancers ripped off her dress, revealing a red dress underneath. Plus all the LCD screens went white. I loved that moment. Unfortunately, I was too busy trying not to fall asleep to remember act 2.

Sunday: Went to church @ St. Patirck's. A beautiful church! I liked the passage printed on the bulletin about how hard it is to be a catholic sometimes. I saw some cool necklaces at the convenience store. I went with dad to the observatory and it was really interesting. We also went to some of the shops. Dad bought me a lovely necklace. It's got a spiral on one side and a bunch of colors on the other. Uncle V came today! Great to see him.

Monday: We left Sydney and took a train to Kotoomba (misspelled). I love travelling by train. I listened to music and started reading Warcross (great book!!!) We got to our new air bnb which is beautiful. I loved the sloped wooden ceilings. I want to live here and hang my posters on the slope, right above my bed.

And that lead to today, Tuesday. We had an amazing hike in the blue mountains. It is so beautiful, I was so happy. We also had a great lunch at the top. I absolutely loved the jewlery at the gift shop. I almost considered getting the two Ying and yang necklaces with dragons on them for Elizabeth and I. We then took the bus into town. It was funny because in a hotel courtyard up some steps, you can tell that's where teh rebel kids hung out, with their cigarettes and piercings. We stopped by a cool rock shop, and a neat purse shop.

During the hike, I was thinking of starting a jojo fic. I know I'm terrible at writing consistently. I still want to finish the JeanMarco fic, but I just don't care for sitting down and writing each day. Maybe I should set some time aside and do some short writing prompts.

I'm grateful I wrote down so much about this trip. To be honest, I had forgotten a lot. It's painful to read the parts about religion. I'm no longer Catholic, and it's just a cruel reminder. In some ways, when I was still religious, it was a simpler time.

I was so fucking naive though. The 'rebels'??? Girl

I don't remember much about Warcross but I do remember giving it 2 starts when I finished and being highly disappointed with the ending.

Im not superstitious but i am a lil stitious >:( my anklet broke last night. I forgot whats its like to have a naked right ankle

I bought this cheap anklet at a beach my family would go to sometimes. It was a wish bracelet with different colors meaning different things. I think I got pink ones with a seashell, it symbolized friendship or something. That thing got so worn out before it eventually fell off.

 went to a hobby store and they had TONS of anime figures!! Im so happy i got Trish and Narancia (i got the last trish one too>:3c) im literally so excited omg

We stopped by this really fancy mall, and I saw a hobby/toy/collector store in the back. I really loved anime figures in high school, but didn't buy them that often because I didn't have much money. Luckily, these were the $25 Banpresto figures.

They had three options: Fugo, Trish, and Narancia. I thought I would really like Narancia, so I got him, and I got Trish because I liked her more than Fugo. To this day, I'm so happy I got the Trish Figure. She's one of my favorite characters, and she's actually on my desk behind my laptop. Poor Narancia is in his box somewhere in my closet. Sorry Narancia.

I painted this for my uncle. I kinda liked how it turned out!

We went to Australia to visit my uncle. This photo was taken in our Air BnB in Sydney. I shared a room with younger sister, I think we stayed here for about a week.

We stopped at LAX after Atlanta and my uncle drove and picked us up and took us to dinner. It was really nice, I haven't seen him in a while. Also LA isn't as bad as I thought? Despite being 85 F it felt like 60 with a nice breeze. Also really artsy outdoor seating area.

The uncle we visited is my mom's twin.

Caption: We stopped at the Atlanta airport for a few hours and it was great! The WiFi was so fast I got through a few episodes of jojo and downloaded some fics for the flight.

This was the day we left for a three week vacation in Australia.

If I remember this correctly, I think this was the last day I visited my childhood home. My dad was preparing it to sell and we went over to help clean it. Pic is from the garage.
