My Bucket List

Had a wake up call twice over today (an email and a fellow blogger)..So without much ado, here's my ever growing list (some things of which I've managed to score off) of things to get cracking on and in no particular order.

* Live in another country
* Travel in NewZealand
* Keep in touch with all my friends and family
* Stand up to what I believe in
* Be grateful for all that I have and for my experiences
* Stop dwelling on the past
* Give my best in all that I do and opportunities that come my way
* Have a conversation with God everyday
* Try to grow a plant (and not subject them to an excrutiating torturous death which I have a flare for at the moment!!)
* Be humble in word and deed
* Make a perfect score on every assignment in one class
* Repay my parents (amd that includes by sis and bil) for everything they have done for me
* Be able to sit in a room with an insect without screaming and running away
* Telling the people you love that you love them
* Go travelling with my friends
* Read the Bible from cover to cover
* Solve my own problems
* Attempt to be a better cook rather than a creative cook!
* Be a better person
* Make a difference in someone's life
* Look back on life and never regret anything
* Celebrate life by truly living it

Most of them revolve around family and frinds and how I interact with the world around me..So I give myself a pat on my shoulder and push and a shove to pick myself up and get going.

My initiation into Footy

Start to the night -

Crappy mood!!! Need to cool off! Remote in hand. Flick. Click. Flick. Nothing remotely interesting on the idiot box!! Well it is after all what it is! Click. View from the Top. Click Matrix Reloaded. CLick CLick (getting desperate). Only thing I want reloaded is Keanu Reaves in a different movie on tele..hmmm..Choices. Choices. Choices...Here we go again..Back to footy. Grhhhhh!!!

Yes, I am very unaustralian when it comes to all things footy!! Well frankly, I don't see the point - crazed muscle men running around in tiny shorts trying to rip each other to shreds on a plastic strewn grass field thanks to a howling unruley crowd, interrupting the seagulls from having a quiet moonlit stroll on the lawns of the MCG. Referee whistles. Catch. TACKLE. Throw. PIN-DOWN. Throw. Kick. BUMP. MASS PILE UP. Throw. Kick. SHREAD TO PIECES, Whistle ...and the saga goes on...hmmm..Collingwood, my home team (ok ok my initial aussie home team!) trailing misearbly to the Adelaide Crows.

As the evening wears on -

The temperament changes to be more upbeat at home than at the stadium. Yet another Asussie half-crazed barracker cheering on Collingwood, and there hearlds my initiation into Footy!! GO COLLINGWOODDDDD!!! Collingwood scores a goal. YEAH..(Cheers)..Collingwood scores again.YEAH..(Does a bit of a mad dance n stomp around)...

Calling it a night -

Thrilling match...Collingwood just about scores a win. YAYYYYYYYYYYYY!

Yet another happy little Collingwood fan brays out the Club Song as she heads to bed.

"Good old Collingwood forever,

we know how to play the game.

Side by side we stick together,

to uphold The Magpies name.

Hear the barrackers a shouting,

as all barrackers should,

Oh, the premiership's a cakewalk

For the good old Collingwood."

And the seagulls can look forward to a quiet night at the MCG with the crows taken care of (though the magpies are still a force to contend with!!).
