...and continues...(with a quick rugby match interlude)
I'm not sure what you guys have in America (rugby? grid iron?) but we have Rugby League over here and it's kind of a big deal this time of year. There's this one series of matches espeically called the State of Origin that are a huge deal. It's about the state of Queensland versus New South Wales and they face off once a year. The best part is how the players--no matter where they currently live--have to play for the state they were originally born in (hence it's name: State of Origin). I was born in Queensland (go the Maroons!) but my youngest brother Aaron was born in New South Wales and thus it's a real competition thing.
So yeah, my reason for explaining all this. Tonight was the last match of the three, the decider. I'd totally forgotten about it but then after tea someone brought it up and Dad was like, "We have to see it." The three middlers pooped out and voted to watch a movie so Dad, Aaron and I went over to the neighbours. The Maroons (QLD) got the first goal, then the Blues (NSW) the second. It was 4-all at half time. The blues powered ahead at this point, shooting up to 14 points with only ten minutes left to the game. I thought QLD were goners by this point and Aaron was smirking and cheering like a cheshire cat when suddenly Lockyear, captain of the Maroons, thundered through the Blues defense line and ran the ball home. The Maroons got two goals and a few extra kicks within the last ten minutes---and won. Apparently this finally breaks a three year winning streak the Blues had over us.
Today was totally weird in that it was completely boring and I was hating it and then it ends like this. I'm so not a sports nut but this warms my heart. Eat your heat out little brother! The Maroons rule.
Countdown: FOUR DAYS until my eighteenth.
P.S. Another lovely piece of news. Mummy comes home tomorrow.

omgosh. You should switch to Wordpress if you're having so much trouble with your server ^_^
Go the Marroons!!!! I was born in Sydney, NSW, but, having several Qlders as fairly good friends, I've been supporting the Qlders for quite a while now!!! Many call me traitor, but I have good reasons!!!
Only 3 days to go!!!..and, might I add, "3 months!"
Cory: Hmm....I don't think it has anything to do with the blog server. It was the other server, the one my website was hosted on that was playing up. Well, I think. I'm a bit ignorant in these matters. *shrug*
In your profile I can see "Astrological Sign: Virgo".
Is that correct?
AC: To be honest, I have no idea. I've never actually checked. Why do you ask?
The reason of my question is: if your birthday is on 9th July, than you are the same Astrological Sign as me, which is Cancer or Crab. I don’t believe 100% on it, but the curiosity is that we can “see” many coincidences on personality of people having same Sign. That’s it!
Our close friends usually agree with part of this http://www.astrology-online.com/cancer.htm
