Girlie Friends

I've never gone with the wind

Just let it flow

Let it take me where it wants to go

Til' you opened the door

Crazier

You found me

When no one else was lookin'

How did you know just where I would be?

Yeah, you broke through

All of my confusion

The ups and the downs

And you still didn't leave

You Found Me

Cannot wait for two concerts in the new year with two of my favourite people: the best friend and the sister. First will be Taylor Swift with Courtney and then its Kelly (for the second time :D) with Emma. I have now promised that if P!nk or Black Eyed Peas come back to Melbourne that I will be going with her. I am so lucky to have friends, good true friends. Never underestimate the value of friendships that stick with you through the thick and thin. We all change, sometimes sadly, but if they are a true friend you can weather any storm. We all make mistakes, but we can only try for the good things in life. Oh there I go being all philosophical on a blog that is decorated in clouds. They say you can only be truly grateful if you lose something, and it's true. It makes you realise what is and what isn't worth fighting for. Though, at the same time, there are some things I don't need to lose to know how much they mean to me. My family, even, if they drive my absolutely crazy at times, have helped me become who I am. I am so grateful for the oportunities they have given to me. And I love them so much. I am really glad my grandparents made it home safely. I missed them. Nana and Grandpa make me laugh so much and it is great to have them home in one piece after two and half months away. I got to pick them up with Dad early yesterday morning, had to wake up at 5:45 - ouchies. Having tea at their house will always make me laugh for the rest of my life. Emma is my best friend, she has to be, she knows me too well. And she will be my maid of honour, and I will be hers if she stops threatening me that she will kick me out of her bridal party if I am not nice to her. I have no "one" best friend, I never have because I need each and everyone of them for a different reason. They will be my bridesmaids, and I won't make them wear ugly dresses, so they better not make me wear ugly ones. Stewbie- my other sister. You probably won't ever read this, but we've fought, but thats why I love you. You aren't just a friend but a sister, just like how your family isnt just another family to mine. I loved talking to Maggie the other day. I miss you like crazy. Natalie, my first friend in Bangkok, I thought you looked nice because you had glasses. Talking to you, even though its far too far apart, always feels like no time has passed. I love that about us. It is just always easy, and we are good at sharing rooms and cupboards and WAY too good at taking photos. Seriously, we have a problem but I love it. Danaya, my second friend in Bangkok, and I do remember you now that first day. You wore a red top. We bonded over being teased by those three boys for our American accents and for calling the pencil case zebra, with the wrong pronounciation. Remeber that list with natalie? Band-aid vs. Plaster? It is an epic timeless battle, just like was it the chicken or egg first. You are both the husband and wife to my vice versa in our old married couple relationship, even though we both love Stephen in Primeval. It hurts some days to realise that I may never live in the same place as some of these people again. Caroline, my middle name marshie, I still remeber being your buddy and even though I know we would have been friends anyway, that was one of my best decisions to volunteer for something. We have fought, smelled ("spelled"), been failish, thrown books at one of us, and just been best friends. You have no idea how excited I am that you are coming here. You better not have been hoping to be rid of me because... You are doomed. I will be a frequent visitor of your room. I wish we could live together, but we both know that is the WORST idea. And Courtney, the reason why I am glad I moved home. We both make no sense, but we get it. Writing and reading makes us happy, as do fairies, mermaids, witches, wizards and magic. You always make my day brighter when I get to talk to you. Yes its cheesy, but I mean it. I'm going to miss you, but you and me will have epic fun next year! Taylor Swift first off. I can't imagine my life without them specifically, but that isn't to say I don't love others. Emily, my new and awesome friend this year. I still can't believe we were four down from each other at the awards thing. So meant to be friends. Imagine if you hadn't said you did IB in that first tute. You are my listener as you do your chinese homework, I just ramble on. And you are my relationship advisor, because we know I need it sometimes. You are the best person I have met this year and I miss you far too much without uni and the dungeon to hang out in. Rachie and Mel, I am really glad we went to uni together this year, even if I wasn't as good as a friend as I should have been. I hope the four of us do something once Mel is back and before Court and Rach leave. And to my gorgeous boyfriend, Kit, who makes me laugh and smile by just being himself. I'm so glad you got skype, finally! Can't wait to see you tomorrow.

Wow that was quite long. I didn't mean to leave people out by the way.

Sweet Dreams.
