i cant remember when i last updated. Meh... i'll just make stuff up about what i think's happened since last time. Well we had friday off... which was cool. Went to kirstyn's house... which is always fun! Ash, Jenna and Michelle were also there, and we ate waaay too much junk food. Actually i think thats all i've eaten all weekend... shite... note to self- eat good this week.

Jenna drove us to Liz's house (well minus Michelle- she had rehersals for Guys and Dolls). That was weird... i dont think her mum liked us very much. oh well... no biggie. Cept i was jealous that Jenna could drive... man how i want another month and a bit to pass so that i'm 18 and can drive myself places... and stuff... and yeah... 'twill be fun!

Saturday was cool i guess... filmed the rest of Tom's video for media in the morning, got free hot chocolate which was a bonus! Rest of the day i bummed round... went drivin with my dad for a couple of hours. I hate reverse parallel parking. it should go to hell and die.

Worked this morning, then went driving again. Once again, reverse parallel parking needs to die. Dis homework, played drums.

And thats about it for my very uninteresting weekend. catchas

Luv yas, Jules

sooooo sleepy. Day off 2moz, that'll b cool. Goin to kirstyn's. w00t! then Liz's... hooray for everything!

anyways stay cool all, just wanted to say hi.

Luv yas, Jules

Long weekend.

Friday nite- Marcellin formal with nick. sucked, but then the afta party ruled. Dunno why, i kinda just made my own fun and ended up dancing by myself for like two hours... but it was all good. oh and i got with bronwyn... i dunno how u spell her name sorry. She is like the hottest chick ever invented, so i was happy with that. hehe, and i convinced tom to kiss daniel... not like full on, but still it was funny. Got home at 5:30 Sat morning, slept till 11. all was good.

Saturday nite- Liz's 18th, then ash'z. Liz's was good, free beer, wine and champagne, plus i had vodka that i didnt drink from the nite b4. once again made my own fun, i think at one point i was dancing where there was no music. Robbie was there, he's such a gun and i luv him. Lou broke kirstyn's bottle of vodka- so she wasnt very happy. Lou sister picked us up, took us (kirstyn and me) to ash'z. Feej threw up on the way... charming.

Ash'z sucked. they told us all "yeah... we're not gonna sleep the whole nite..." They had piked by the time k and i got there. So we were all pissed off, k esp coz of her lack of vodka. So we took my bottle, went to a park and sat there the rest of the nite drinkin straight vodka... not the best idea i must say. Cant really remember much about that... i think i was cryin but nothin new there. Somehow we got home at sometime, the next think i remember was wakin up in a bed with my trackies on top of my head. Got up, watched american pie 3. Dad picked me up at liek 2 in my car, we dropped the othas at maccas. Got home, slept until relos came ova sunday nite.

Monday- disregarding the fact that i should be doin homework. Writin here... thats about it.

Luv yas all, Jules

have u ever had one of those experiences where just everything falls into place? where the completely opposite to what u expect is goin to happen happens, and it just makes you so happy?

yer well one of those happened tonight. im not talkin like love or relationships or nething, but still, it was a good night.

i went to this drum clinic. i walked in with my crappy snare drum (i havent got my new kit yet) and sticks and practise pad and sat down to wait. there were like 20 other ppl there, most were older and better than me except for one kid, probs about 15 yrs old. exactly what my drum teacher told me last night would happen happened- there was the group of 20something year old guys, all trying to out do each other, so they walked in there with their $1000 snare drums and started talking all technically about their "equipment" and how great it was... trying to compensate much???

anyways, we were let in to the studio. i ran into my drum teacher who told me to calm down and not be intimidated by these dumb, insecure wankers who were trying to prove who was the best out of them all. that put me at ease. That and the fact that i ended up sitting next to the 15 yr old kid, who was even more shit scared than me. i turned to him and asked him how long he'd been playing, he said two years and that he wasnt "wothy" of being there. i told him that wasnt true, i'd only like been playin like a year more than him and that he shouldnt stress about how good everyone else was. I think that made him happy. Anyways all the 20something year old guys began to warm up, trying to do like gunfire single and double strokes to prove who was best. idiots. IT WASNT A COMPETITON, IT WAS A TECHNIQUE CLASS SO THAT ALL CAN LEARN, DICK HEADS. anyways, so i started warming up a little, just playing things at my own pace and tryin not to let these idiots get to me.

Then Dom Famularo walked in. the clinic itself was awesome. he taught some great stuff that really made sense and the techniques when used and practised properly will really improve my playing. But that wasnt why the night was so damn good.

i went into that clinic feeling like i was below all of those 20something year olds. when dom started teaching the techniques, i kinda understood what he was talkin bout. Because i wasnt competing with all of these 20something year olds, i probs got the most out of it than any other of them.

But the thing that made it the best was Dom himself. He kept coming up to me and using me as an example of how to do stuff. I dunno... i dont take complements well, but when someone says that i'm good at something that really means something to me or that i work really hard on or that i want to work really hard on in the future, it just kinda makes me happy.

And then he told me that he wished he could spend more time with me to help improve the technques, and that i could really be something if i keep going like i did tonight. And that just made me amazingly elated.

I mean me... out of everyone there, all those 20something yr old guys who were better than me, and he said that i could do it. I almost cried for joy. in fact i am now when writing this. Everyone tells me to choose the "safe" option... u know, go to uni, waste $20000 on a piece of paper that im not really interested in to get a job in something that isnt all that stimulating and in the end gets you a gold plated watch and a retirement package for saying "hey, i cant believe u put up with this shit for this long... thanks." But now...

i dont know anything about the future, who i'm going to be or what i'll become... but at least someone thinks i can do what i love- if i make the choice to.  

Luv yas, Jules

oh my what a weekend.

Saturday: i went to "The Ulitimate Drummers Weekend" with tom and tom... yes there are two, both are very tall, both are killer drummers, but one is incredily skinny with black hair and the other is average size with blondy brown hair. I like them both- funny chaps. While in this arena of drumtasticness, i stumbled across a lovely looking Gretsch Blackhawk six piece kit, mahogany wine red shells for only $940. i was in love... well as much as one can love an object. i know its not like top of the line, but i've always had a thing for Gretsch kits and this was brand new for like $300 less than what its usually sold for. So i put it on lay buy. in two months, i will have drained my bank account and paid off my lovely kit and will be able to play away till my heart's content. Very happy!

Earlier that morning, as soon as i arose, my parents proceeded to tell me that they had found me a car. 1990 mitsubishi lancer, 4 door, auto, p/s, vgc, great interior. We took it for a test drive, and both dad and i were sold, so the parentals are gonna buy it for me. they put down a deposit at the mehanic who sold it to us, and i'll get that by the end of the week. so yer... wen i get my licence in aug/sept i am going to locomote everywhere! And i know i seem like a spoiled little princess... which i am... but they bought my sis a car and a trip overseas. therefore i get the same lol. i'm gonna work it off tho... i will feel incredibly guilty if they pay 4 the whole thing.

Friday Nite sorry i know im not going in order here). Didnt really do much, but "Reality Bites" was on tv1 on foxtel. neva seen it b4, and my sis said it was good so i stayed up to watch it. And oh my god... it is like my new favourite movie. I dunno... i know its kinda cheesy and all that... but also in a way it isnt and its just great. life changing almost... Anyways go see... u wont regret it.

Sunday: woke up and went to work. Got home, b had cooked an awesome breakfast. yummm... anyways i studied for my biology exam all day... oh the fun. Watched reality bites again for my break (i rented it out... oh the obsession). yer... dad drove to warrnambool and back to drop dave (b's bf) and his fridge off. Sorry.. i dunno how to spell fridge. Had pizza for tea. Was good.

Today: Bio exam. I'vecome to the conclusion that the board of studies are all assholes. Like i could do it... but they just asked like annoyin nitty gritty shit that didnt really matter all that much. and it was heaps longer than all the previous years ones. assholes. oh well... its in the past, it doesnt matter.

anyways i think thats enough news for now. Sorry u had to endure my rantings for so long.

luv yas, Jules

Jules
