I think this is the best thing ever.

I hope you can read that.

So, I'm going to JAPAN TOMORROW. XD

The other day Dad was just like: "there are really cheap airfares to Japan at the moment. *pause* Wanna go?" I'M SO EXCITED! :D

How I understand it is: torrent downloading is a kind of sharing. When you download a .torrent file it acts as a link to everyone else who has downloaded the same file before you. It will take small pieces of the movie, songs or tv show from everyone who has downloaded it before you and re-assemble it on your computer.

 

I might be Australian and have no way of voting, but STILL, support is support.

10 reasons why gay marriage is wrong. (READ THE ENTIRE THING)

1) Being gay is not natural.
And real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning, tattoos, piercings and silicon breasts...

2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay.
In the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

3) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behav​ior.
People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract. Lamps are next.

4) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all;
Hence why women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

5) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed;
And we can't let the sanctity of Britney Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage be destroyed.

6) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children.
So therefore, gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our population isn't out of control, our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.

7) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children,
Since, of course, straight parents only raise straight child​ren.

8) Gay marriage is not supported by religion.
In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.

9) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home.
Which is exactly why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms.
Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.

Re-post this if you believe love makes a marriage.
Vote NO on Prop 8

I am currently sitting in the Qantas Club in Townsville airport with 2hrs to kill before our flight.

We just finished the competition and the entire weekend has been classified as totally freakin rad. (Next year is going to be even better though.) 

Friday night we all (Me, mum, Cat, Kristyn, Pat, Cam, Eric (our coach) and Kristyn's parents) We young 'uns had a blast: Kristyn mentioned that in her Podiatry practical class the other day their teacher had brought out all these jars of preserved organs and such. One of these contained an ovary the size of a football. Cam and Pat both thought this was hilarious and immediately began to discuss how on earth that would be possible and make many, many jokes about it. The most popular one was: I'm going to punch you in the football. Thank you Cam for your sparkling wit.

I have totally re-thought my opinion of Cam after spending almost the entire weekend in his company. He is mostly quite funny and is really very nice when he isn't paying people out. I also discovered that he is doing law at uni and works in a law firm at the moment. So yeah, he's pretty rad. Except when he makes jokes at your expense which you have absolutely no comeback for.

Saturday night saw us at the same restraunt sitting next to a hen's party. They were rather... boisterous. They had the whole lot: penis shaped straws, swizzle sticks and cake. Pin the dick on the poster was going for most of the night and the bride was really quite hideous. Epic buck teeth and very, very platinum blonde hair. (That was rather mean.... oh well.)

Also, this weekend saw my first sneaking out of the house (well, apartment). It was around 11:30pm on Saturday night and I was not tired at all. So I snuck out and went to the beach with Pat. We chatted and err, made out on the beach for a while and ended up getting back at around 2am. 

In between all the hilarity we managed to all complete our multi-events (I did a heptathlon and the boys did a decathlon) and all finished first in our respective age groups.

Over all: rocked socks. We have a rad training squad.

I promised to post these, so here they be. :D
These banners were made especially for people, so if you would like one with your name on it, let me know :o)

Tutorial for:

( >>> Tutorial! >>> )

Before you begin, please download two brush files called 'text' and 'tiny text' that can be found here and load them into Photoshop. Most of the links i give will be to the original image pack in case it comes with a clear background, so you will have to download some of them as well :o) also, most of the textures need to be scaled down in order to fit in the banner properly, so i have assumed that you will do that unless it is otherwise signed.
