The end of an era.

Today is the last day of January.
Accordingly, it is the last day I will live in this town. Tomorrow I am moving to the somewhat larger settlement of Brisbane. My suitcase is almost full, which is either an indication that I'm about ready to go, or it just means I have too much stuff. Either way, I'm almost done packing.
A large portion of my suitcase is taken up by a new quilt cover and new bedsheets though. It's a good thing I left most of my clothes and shoes in Brisbane last weekend, because they would not fit in anymore. Too bad we aren't moving in winter, or I could wear two jackets instead of choosing which one to take.
Although one of them is pretty dorky (No offense to Ashley, who has the same one) so the choice is kind of easy.
Currently I am jumping between two computers. I am typing and doing all the usual things on my laptop, which is snazzy and has bouncy keys and is new and great, and scanning photos on my mums laptop which is square and a bit older and isn't as aesthetically pleasing. I need to use I though, because it has the scanner's software installed and I can't be bothered to install it on here.
The photos I'm scanning are from India. I just found one of my dad being a tool in front of the Taj Mahal. I'll post it here and show you:

Okay, now that all that is done and my little sister is asleep in her bedroom, which also happens to be my bedroom until tomorrow, I am going to stop running about and giving myself a headache.
Instead I will be really outrageous and abnormal and sit at the computer for a few hours.
According to my world clock, it is currently 11:12am in London.

All that was written quite a while ago, I have forgotten exactly when. The time is now 10:25pm, so in other words I still have a few hours before my bedtime. I'm actually a little bit sleepy though, so maybe I'll go to bed sooner than 3am.
I love my laptop too much, and I stay up way too late on it sometimes. But what the heck, I'm young and university doesn't start for a few weeks yet so why shouldn't I stay up late?
I'll just have some coffee in the morning.

Oh, so sad.

Tomorrow I am packing all of my remaining possessions to move to a new town. A new city actually. This is fairly exciting process, as you could probably imagine.
So now I have to fit all of my clothes that I sometimes wear into one suitcase. Most of my stuff is already in the new city, but it'll still be a bit of a challenge getting it there.

The plan is that my dear friend Ruckus's mother is driving us to her grandmother's house on Friday, ie, the day after tomorrow. We will then camp there the night and catch the train into the city the next day. From there we will change trains to get to my suburb. Then we will walk/be driven to my house and hang there for the night, going to a friend's place in between. Sometime in the near future after that I am going to attempt to drive my aunt and uncle's old car, which has a completely different clutch to my mother's and has the indicators on the opposite side, to Ruckus's new house. Taking her along with me as I go.
Wish me luck with this.

Oh, we are also meeting a boy we don't know at the train station. He's our friend's friend but I don't know what he looks like or anything. Which may be a slight complication. Oh well. Ruckus and I are fairly obvious, I think. He can find us. He better. Or he can ride the train by himself.

So that's what's happening in the next few days. I am moving my entire existence elsewhere, and taking a suitcase with me.

Keep in touch, world.

So, it begins. Or continues, rather.

Well I've done it, finally.
I created a blogspot blog after all this time. For anyone interested, I haven't just begun blogging. I just wrote on my myspace blog before. But now, I have decided it's time to move on. No one writes seriously on myspace blogs. Only your best friends read them. And usually people have just written really uninspiring poetry or lyrics that you just have to pretend you like because they're so "deep".

Point is, I already have a lot of blog entries on myspace. I am just sort of continuing it here.
So I hope some people might read this, even if they don't for a while yet. I really do like it when people actually read what I've written, it gives me a nice buzz and makes it worth writing it.

But unfortunately, it is 12:16am at the moment and I have friends coming over tomorrow.
There's some exciting stuff happening this week, I'll fill you in on it later though. For now I should really retire to my bedroom (However, my laptop will probably accompany me anyway. Oh well).

Stay tuned. I like to write.
