Agh. I am so thirsty. As soon as I finish this entry, I’m going upstairs to get a nice cool glass of water with a billion ice cubes in it.. mmm…
I’m a bit tired today. Last night I went trick-or-treating with the little girls from across the road, Luka and Ceda. I volunteered to walk around the streets with them because they weren’t allowed to do it without adult supervision. Hmph. Adult now, am I? Doesn’t seem like it sometimes. Anyway, who wants to be an adult? How boring! I’m going to be young for as long as possible. You can do anything when you’re young. Of course, you still have to deal with the consequences, but they aren’t as harsh as when you get older. Young people are expected to do wild, spontaneous things. Like tomorrow, I get paid, and I could just go buy a train ticket to Townsville to visit my cousin. But then again, that would mean I have no money for the next two weeks. Wish I didn’t think so logically. People who do those sorts of spur-of-the-moment things just seem to have it work out. It ends up being a huge adventure and they live happily ever after. I suppose I’m just bored. Yeah, that’s it… bored.
I dressed up as neko neko last night… which is basically just a cat girl. I had shiny silver ears and a little black nose and black sparkley lips. I felt so tall.. I felt like gulliver must have felt in lilliput. It wasn’t just the kids I was taller than – most of the adults seemed small too. It could have been cause I had on chunky shoes… hm. maybe i’m taller than just 5′10″. How cool would that be? ^_^ Also, yesterday I went and saw the future olympic diving squad having fun diving from cliffs into the green & blue pools. The blue pool used to be a quarry, and one afternoon the workers hit a spring and when they came back the next morning, the quarry wasn’t there anymore – just a big pool. The blue pool is so deep… But the cliffs are higher at the green pool. I’m not too sure of the story of the green pool, because it’s not as deep as the blue pool… it’s only about 3 1/2 metres deep. The divers found that out when they jumped off the cliff above the green pool… no one got hurt, but we didn’t believe that they had touched the bottom until one of the guys ducked underwater, and when he came back up again he had a chunk of rock in his hand. I couldn’t stop laughing. They were all really beautiful people, but a bit self-absorbed. I guess you have the right to be self-absorbed when you’ve already won a medal at the olympics… ho hum. They are really good at making you feel insignificant and unimportant, but I didn’t mind because they were pretty impressive. I wasn’t worried about feeling less important than them, because it’s not as if I’m competing with them or anything. It was pretty fun all round ^_^
Anyways, on a totally different note, the achtung babies are due to arrive this afternoon. They are staying in the guest room at Lou and Mike’s for a couple of weeks, then staying here in our spare room for a few more weeks while Lou’s parents are over from England. Should be interesting… their names are Horst and Gitar (sp) and I’m brushing up on my german to speak to them… My cousin-in-law, Ollie, is german, and last time i saw him was at my other cousin’s wedding. He taught me how to say g’day, good morning, good afternoon, it’s cold, and asshole. He taught me the last one because, as he said, “the swears are the first ones you learn”. he was a funny guy.
I’ve kept having the same thought over the past few days, that I wish I had a boyfriend. Which is a stupid thing to wish, because it’s not as if boyfriends are just objects that you pick up at the supermarket or whatever… guys are people too. I can’t just go out with someone for the sake of having someone to go out with. But I think the reason I want a boyfriend is because I’m bored, and also it’d be nice to have someone new to talk to… I need some variety damnit! I’m such a drama queen. Ignore me.
I kept my hair down this morning after I brushed it, instead of putting it back into a bun/ponytail like i usually do, and mum said “Cassie! You look like a different person!” Yes, mum, my hair has grown long. This is the longest it’s been for quite a while, and I’m not sure if I want to get it cut. It’s really soft and shiny at the moment, so I don’t think I’ll do anything yet. There are heaps of things to do with long hair, but in summer it’s too hot to just leave it down. hehehe… never thought I’d have so much to say about hair… but it’s a really nice colour too… sort of two-toned… the bottom half of my hair is black, and the top half is dark brown/auburn, and they graduate into one another in the middle. I wonder what I’d look like with my natural colour hair… I haven’t had my natural colour since I was 14. People always say blondes have more fun, but I think it’s up to you how much fun you have. Maybe blondes have more fun because they expect to. Hmmm… it’s all in your mind 
Anyways, I’m going to go get a drink now… I wasn’t going to write this much…
