Nearly Drowned from Laughing

Heyy. Okay, I nearly drowned from laughing... Literally. I went for swimming at school 2 days ago right? We were doing Life Saving... We were learning how to do thos side strokes and all. So, me, Mango and Isabel were on the same lane. LOL. ANd guess what?! Manogna's swimming cap ripped... That happened to me when we were doing waterpolo. Isabel was telling us how her's ripped before too and that she had to buy a new one, like me. So we were like, omg we have to much in common! Lol. Cos we're like the young ppl in our group. So we decided to call ourselves 'The Ripped Youngies'! Bahahahah. hahahahhah. Isn't that like such a cool name?? haha. Anyway, we were dong backstroke, and I was gonna go first. But I went a little after everyone else cos I had to put my goggles on. So I was facing the ceiling, swimming and I was nearly at the end when I felt sometihng pushing me down. Isabel caught up to me. I was like under the water by now. I was gasping for breath and saw Isabel above the water also gasping for breath. SO, I swam to the surface, and heard her laughing her head off... Then, I realised that it was kinda funny. I started laughing too. But I was sorta outta breath and all, but I was laughing. So I lacked air. And I was like, ahahahhahaha. BREATH. ahahahaha. BREATH. Both of us were this close to drowning, and we were laughing like idiots... It was really stupid and funny... And it was all Bell's fault... So, yea. That goes to show you how silly some ppl are sometimes. :) Going now. BYEZ.

Sickening Ketchup

Heylo!!! MUCK UP DAY ROCKS!!! If you are a Year 12 of course... Otherwise, you just have to sit back and watch them have fun. And sometimes, its really annoying too... Like they can throw eggs at you and stuff. Anyway, guess what they did at PLC... My school banned Muck Up Day starting from last year, because the Class of 2007 did something really bad suring assembly and messed everything up. And let's just say they weren't pleased. haha. So like this year, they used different coloured chalk to write on the floor. They wrote stuff like, 'Bring back muck up day for peace!' and like 'DEMOCRACY!'. hahahaha. It was all kinda funny and cool. But the thing was, they took toilet paper from the year 7 toilets. (they like doing things to newbies a.k.a year 7) And they put it all over everything... So we didn't have any tissue paper to use for the rest of the day. AND they used tomato sauce and wrote 'No Timetables' on the wall in the year 7 corridors. GAH! I mean, I like tomato sauce and all, but the smell got really sickening... And then they put up convincing posters that said 'Tuck Shop Closed. Sry for inconvenience.' and 'Free Food for year 7s at the canteen. Courtesy of year 12' AND IT WAS ALL FAKE!!! Hmph. I was looking forward to it too. LOL. And then on another day, the Year 12 students got to cut up their uniform and male it all pretty and sew it in a way they wanted. Some of them dyed it too... It was really cool! So, yea. I can't wait until I'm a Year 12. Though, I can't really imagine myself as a Year 12... And apparently, neither can my friends... *glare* So, yea. But hey, I'm still young. Sucks to be you oldies. Muahahahaha! Luv y'all Tom the TimTam

Around the World in a week... Not really

Yoweh, I'm gonna tell you bits and pieces of my holiday, which is ages ago. I just couldn't be bothered to start until now... Sorry, I;m just like that. I put off things a lot. For example, cutting my nails etc. You'll just have to deal with it. :) So, we went to Grampians. Which is this mountain place thing. And we got to stay in a cottage! It was so cool and big. There even was a real fireplace with firewood. There was a top level, which was more like a loft. It was really pretty. We went for heaps of walks and stuff. Oh oh, on the first day, we bought this really nice ice cream and a cool boomerang. And in this same shop, there were all these wooden square thingies with cool inscriptions. my mum wanted Tessa to buy one that said, WHY? Because I'm you're mum, THAT'S WHY! It was really funny. haha. And there was another one, I would give up chocolate, but I'm no quitter! Hahaha. That is sooo one for me. And this one's my favourite.

Toddler Rules

If it looks like mine - It's mine!

If you think it's mine - It's mine!

If it's not your's - It's mine!

If it's mine - It's mine!

And everything else is mine too.

BAHAHAHAH! I so need that one. Only they should say Erica's Rules. lol. Then after that, we went for a walk. There were kangaroos and their poop everywhere! And we also played with the boomerang. My dad could actually get it to come back.

The next day, we went for all these walks. Some were cool and some were just boring. There was one to this really beautiful waterfall. And another one was really cool too. It was like a stream with rocks all over it. And we jumped from rock to rock. We even had a twig race! lol. Cos there was a current, right? And Tessa, Jonathan and I put twigs into the water and saw whose got to the end first. I won like once. or twice. heehee.There was another walk, which was like THE best. Though i kinda hate it too... Cos it was about 7km there an back again... dundundun... Anyway, it was really cool cos it wasn't any ol boring flat road walk. We got to climb rocks and jump over small streams and stuff! It was soo cool.

But at the top of the mountain, it was a scenery. It was awesome! Cos you could see this lake place we had been to before. And everything was like minature... And it was pretty scary when we sat on the edge... It was like a 10 meter drop... and then if you rolled a bit, it was a 50 meter drop... At least, I think so... I'm not really good at estimating.

One of my favourite bits were... Obviously, anyone who knew me should know... The food bit! lol. One night, we had BBQ for dinner!!!! My dad cooked it... The steak was perfect. Hot and juicy... And not too hard to chew. xD. And the garlic bread was delicious. It was nice and hot and there was enough butter and stuff. I know, this sounds really unhealthy... But, yea. Once in a while... And then after that, omgomgomg. It was sooooo totally AWESOME!!! WE SAW KANGAROOS BOXING!!!! They were literally kicking and punching each other... My dad video taped it... :) One day, I shall watch it again...

Oh, and then we went to Warnumbool. Dang, I hope that's how you spell it... Anyway, we went for more walks and saw this adorably cute koala on a tree! It was hugging this fat branch and it was so chubby! I loved it. And we saw this blowhole thing. The water splashed everywhere!

And now I really can't be bothered telling you the rest. All you have to know is that everything was like WHOA! The scenery was beautiful. And there were haps of cool animals. Like, emus and lamas. heehee. I'm like leaving now... So, bye!

Near Death Experience :P

Sup everyone!

Miss me? Haven't blogged in a while... lol. I went on vacation with my family! MY DAD AND BROTHER CAME BACK TO AUSSIE!!! Yippee! And and... my dad bought me and Tessa the newest ipod... Both of us got one each! And its this pretty green colour. And we DIDN'T EVEN ASK FOR IT!! Gosh... And all my friends got it for free anyway... Pffft.

Rollerblading is a life threatening sport. I'm totally serious. And not drunk. I don't like the taste of alcohol... Anyways, I went over to Isabel's house. Jessie and Manogna came over too. We played Cludo, which was fairly okay... Jessie won...mendvmavdgvijjvoisadhg... grrr... I was soo close to winning! I just HAD to roll a stupid insignificant dumb old number 1! On the last try! The most important roll of the dice! How unlucky can a person get?

Then, after that, we went rollerblading at the park. Bell and Jess brought their rollerblades. Mango and I didn't have a pair cos we haven't rollerbladed before. So we took turns. Bell and I wore one to the park. hahahaha. Kinda like a scooter. Kind of... And then... Dun dun dun dun..... Bell and Mango were making us go on Mango's street. Which happened to be... A slope! And me and Jess were the ones with the rollerblades! And don't forget, this is the FIRST TIME I WAS ROLLERBLADING!

So Jess went ahead, grabbing onto Mango's hand and I was left a little behind stopping the blood circulation on Bell's hand... I was soo freaked. We were going really fast and Bell was running after me. Then I wanted to slow down, right? So I kind of turned towards the left and then...

CRASH! I banged onto the side pavement. Fall down No. 1. And then I stupidly decided to try again... I was shouting at Bell the whole time. We were going really fast downhill... And then... We were rollerblading down too fast, and I fell flat on the hard, rough, road...

You know, I was wearing jeans that day... And it RIPPED!!! The skin on my knee was scraped off. It was gruesome and disgusting... And Bell was like, "Are you okay? Omg, your jeans are ripped. Hey, think about it. People pay a lot to get holes in their jeans. You just saved like $500." Pffffffttt. Who says that? lol. I was laughing my head off. And then Jess and Mango came back up again. Apparently, Jess fell once too, at the end, but it wasn't that bad. Btw, that's my ripped jeans. >>>

And then, yea... I thin that's it... Owh Mah Gawsh! I didn't talk about food throughout this whole post... That is such a big accomplishment! I''m soo gonna tell everyone about this! Muhahahhahaahhahahah... Ehehehe...

Creepy Crawlie's B'day Party

Heyloo, I haven't been blogging for a while and there's heaps of stuff to tell... I'll just have to take a deep breath and type it all, and it's all gonna be like shortened and squished. Or if i can't be stuffed, I'll probably cut it into two posts. *deep breath*. Okay, so on Thursday, no wait, Wednesday (I checked my school diary), a reptile handler came to our Science class. It was really cool! Well, sort of. Anyway, they brought turtles, lizards, a baby crocodile and *shivers* snaakessss... The turtles were really cute and small. And there were heaps of different kinds of lizards. There was one called the two-headed lizard, cos it had a bum that looked like its head... How greath would that be! haha. And then there were small snakes. And then he brought out this gigantic one. But he said it was still small, cos it was gonna grow to like 6 metres. 6 METRES! That's like 5 of me! And the baby crocodile snapped at me... We got to touch all of these creatures and some were scaly, and there were some that were kinda slimey... Eurggghh... Then was... Oh, yea! Jessie's B'day party! It was supposed to be a sleepover, but mum said I couldn't stay over... But that I could stay until really late, so it was okay I guess... I got Jessie this pencilcase which was black and said 'Private Property' on it. And I stuffed sweets inside. lol. We played the Wii and Super Smash Brawl. I looove that game. It's so much fun. We had sushi for dinner. Too sweet, so I didn't have that much. But, hey, made it up with junk food. And then and then! We watched Death Note. It wasn't the Anime series. It was the movie which was pretty good. Then, we sang the B'day song to Jessie and had chocolate cake. Jessie said she specially got it for me... lol. Thanks Jess! haha. I won't bore people with a long dreary post so I'm gonna stop now. More holiday things on my next post! Cya.

To the Vineyard!

Yo again!

My holidays have STARTED!! One week earlier than everyone else... Heehee... 3 weeks of non-stop fun. At least I hope so. :) Let's see, last Sunday. I know it's like ages ago. But I haven't had the time to blog and it was a fun day. Anyway, in the morning, we went with Uncle Alvin and Aunty Mary to this vineyard-place-thing. It was a like 45 minute drive. Not that long really. But still.

The scenery was soooo pretty. The sky was like my favourite shade of blue and the clouds were oh-so fluffy and white. Wish I took a picture... Gah. We were kind of in the country already. And we went to this sort of gormet restaurant. They had entree on the menu. LOL. Sounds really cool and frenchy if you say it right. lol. For the entree, we ordered this smoked salmon tart thing (i really like it cos i really like salmon), a weird quail thing (not my kinda thing), soup (really yummy) and this mini lobster prawn thingo (not exactly sure what it was).

The kids, my sister and I, and Isaac and Samuel (two little boys my bro's age) went outside. The space was GINORMOUS! It was like totally massive green space. It was awesome! Imgaine if you had a garden like that in behind your backdoor! We were just running like crazy and skipping all over the place. It wa like never ending wide space, man! You could do whatever you wanted without having to worry about banging into something! lol.

Then came the main course, I had to order a kids meal, along with Samuel and Isaac. We had fish & chips, lasagna (huge one) and a schnitzel thing. It was all pretty okay. Then came thr adult's food. Aww... Yum... My sis had fish (it was like gormet with potato at the bottom of it), my mum had this lamb thing (perfectly cooked, my fav?), Aunty Mary had duck (it was cooked chinese style, so I had it quite a lot), and finally Uncle Alvin had this beef thing (okay, pretty okay).

Next came.... OMG! My favourite part, DESSERT! hahahahaha. We ordered were gonna have chocolate souffle and creme boule, BUT it was all finished... NOOO!! lol. So instead we had a gigantic chocolate cake (with truffle inside too), cherry cheese cake (couldn't taste the cherry so it was good. I hate red cherries), a sticky date & orange pudding (nice enough), and a nutty carrot cake. It was all really cool and fun. But all of us were stuffed like turkeys on Christmas day. (Felt like using a lame line).

Cya

Longest post ever! Well, so far...

Yo everyone! Erica here, again! Okay, let's see. My cousin Leesh had her b'day party on last Friday! It was really fun! We had lasagna for dinnah! Which is quite normal, since we have that almost everytime we go over. Which is fine, cos I love lasanga. The lasagna doesn't have meat in it though... Cos my cousins are vegeterians. But then, who's complaining? Anyway, there was this yummelicious caesar salad, courtesy of my Aunty Clara and my mum. And then... omgomgomgomg! For dessert! We had APPLE PIE! SARAH LEE APPLE PIE!!! AND AND AND!! We had Leesh's B'day cake. It was this mango cake thing with cream and stuff. It was really delicious too! I can almost taste it in my mouth now... Aaaahhh... Yumm... LOL! We watched 'Final Fantasy' as well. Last one I think. And then we watched 'ghost whisperers'. And even though it's not that scary, I kinda freaked out a little after. I seriously need to get over my irrational fear of scary movies. *shakes head* Next, I shall talk more about school. We had this music presentation coming up. And first I was gonna sing 'Santa Claus is coming to town' with Jessie and Vicky playing the piano... And then I changed my mind and went with Viv, Mango and Bell. We were gonna do something like the show 'Thank God You're Here'. (It's this really funny show we all love.) We wrote half the script and all, but it turned out to be really lame... Soo another change of plans... THEN, we were gonna get Bell to play 'Entertainer' on the piano, and the rest of us would act out this killing scene with puhcing, pulling hair, stabbing and stuff. We were supposed to be fighting over chocolate. But that plan went down the drain too. Gah. And then, we realised that the music presentation was THE NEXT DAY!! AND WE HAD NOTHING PREPARED!!! NADA!! Plus, Mango was sick... So in the end, FINALLY, me and Viv were gonna sing 'This Love' by the Veronicas. But Viv changed the lyrics... Teehee. It went something like this.

I can eat the cho-co-late,

Taste it in my first bit,

Chocolates in this chocolate town,

Save me from the yumminess.

And so on, kinda lame, but cool in a way. We practised that all lunchtime. We were gonna use Viv's ipod. Which I knew wasn't goin ta turn out very well. At the end of lunch, like minutes before the bell, Viv was parctising her piano piece. Which happened to be 'Heart will go on' in Titanics. And I sorta knew the lyrics and sang a little.

Vicky: Oh, Erica, why don't you sing this instead? It'll sound really good.

Me: B-but, I don't know all the lyrics!!

Vicky: It's okay! We can go print it out now!

Jessie: Lets go!

All of us run downstairs, find the song, print it and run back upstairs. When all this was happening, the bell rang.

Me, Jess, Vic: VIV! WE GOT THE SONG LYRICS!!!!!!!!!!!

We were charging into the room.

Music teacher, Ms Friend: Girls?

Oh-my-gosh! I had no idea the teacher was already there. We all burst out laughing for a bit. Then I stand facing the piano and start singing it. Half way, when the song was almost finished, I turned around, and... THE WHOLE CLASS WAS THERE SITTING DOWN ALREADY! I was totally shocked. Anyway, I sang that song for the music presentation. That was the one day I actually sang the whole 'Heart will go on' song... And I already had to do it for my music presentation. It was really scary...

Phew! I finally got all I wanted to say out. That's probably the longest entry I have ever posted.... I'm proud of myself! lol. Well, tune in for more of Erica's Life next time. Bye!
