I was bored and felt like writing.. so this came out.
My holidays are boring so far, but I have decided that my father should be enrolled in Anger Management classes. He’s always angry and blaming people for others mistakes. I’m going to research some today, if he keeps it up. In other news in the Nordsie Hole of Hell, I think my newly met friend Joints may be dead. We talk at least twice a day normally, and we haven’t talked at all for around three days. If he is dead, well, that’d be a shame but, I’m not sure I’ve known him long enough to be saddened greatly by it. I hope he’s still alive though.
The tragically bad performance by Metro Station last night on Australian Idol, I can barely touch on how bad it was. Oh man, If you asked me to sing Shake It on a stage infront of 50 people, I would, rather than see that crap again. And just so you know, I cannot sing a single note! I am terrible, but I would rather humiliate myself than see that again!! Deep breaths, and it’ll go away… I’m going to have nightmares about that… that… disgustingly horrific performance. Poor, poor James Mathison for having to be in the actual studio for it!!

That’s the blog of my artistic friend A. I won’t use her name, as she has issues about that type of thing. But follow it, please, it’s entertaining to read and about her new school. Which, incidently is her first school, we were both home-schooled. Anyway, check and that is called School out and enjoy reading it. A. is also a talented artist, and this is her deviant art page: kageayumusakushi.deviantart.com
Well, I feel like talking about my past.
I’m 14 years old and I was born in Australia on the Fourteenth of September. My mother is from Aoeteoroa (New Zealand), and my dad is from Australia. They met in China.
When I was four or five years old, they moved onto a boat called Reflections IV and decided to attempt a journey around the world. To this day, I question the sensibility of taking a five year old and a seven year old on board a boat and comdenming them to a childhood of isolation. Granted, it was an amazing trip despite only ever going to South East Asia, and I have beautiful memories because of it, but it also caused be to become the greatly depressed person I am today.
We sailed between Papua New Guinea (PNG), the Solomon Islands, East Timor, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Thailand and Australia for 5 years, before the Incident happened. The Incident consists of two things, the first was the Ship, and the second was the Storm.
We were in Port Klang, a good enough place, and some of the few friends I had were on their boat there too. For us yachtie kids, being near other kids our age is very rare and something to be treasured, and I treasure Simon and Shannon very much. They had just arrived, and I was finishing off my English while Corky, my sister, went ahead to greet them. The Ship happened then. One of those Indonesian cargo ships, you know, the really big looming 100 foot ones, crashed into the side of my boat, with my mum, dad and I onboard and ripped a hole through the side. My boat is amazingly strong. The Ship weighed well over 4000 kilograms, more than 10000 kg actually, and we were still floating! Two weeks later, the Storm happened, and we got struck by lightning. Radios and computer and nav gear all fried, we sailed from Klang to Phuket, Thailand. We spent 5 years there, and 2 months ago, I moved back to Australia with my sister to live with our dad, who moved back 18 months ago, so he could be happy by himself. I still resent him for it, but atleast he wasn’t being miserable and hard to live with back in Phuket.
Well that’s alot down, and I’ve mention JM, infringed copyright and I need to talk to Joints, who is alive after all, and just came online.
PS. Watch Life as a House it’s beautiful

hey Woodsie, nice post!
I can only imagine what it feels to be so lonely
Not that I was a very social person myself growing up, but at least I was surrounded by people.
You see, sometimes we just feel sad, doesn’t matter if we’re alone or in a crowd of people.
You just reminded me that I miss sailing. I was learning but had to stop due to an injury, I hope I can get back someday…
There’s this family whose kids went to my school before they went sailing around the world. I don’t know where they are now, but they even made a movie about one of their trips. I thought you might be interested.
Have a nice week!

Thanks for the link, mairabay! it was lonely but it was also my life, I didn’t really realise it was so lonely and different until i moved onto land. I get sad sometimes but I have my tsunami friend to make me happy again. Sailing is beautiful, and i think you should definatly start again.
thanks , you have a good week too!
