This is just me rambling aimlessly... Could be interesting...

hey everyone out there. sorry i've been so slack. the last month has been kinda insane, what with the end of semester tests and crap. but you get that. but no matter, coz i'm writing one now, ay!

i just came back from new zealand on wednesday. that was soooo much fun. damn cold though. and i swear, we did waaaaay too much plane hopping if you ask me. two planes on the way there, three on the way back. god i was glad to get home!

well, i suppose i was and i wasn't. i was coz i LIKE home... and then i wasn't coz i didn't know if my two best friends cassie and kathryn (if you don't know who they are, there's an intro of each of them in some previous article i wrote) are at each other's throats. i swear, if i wasn't basically forcing them apart and playing mediator, world war three would surely have broken out. quite irritating actually. and over such a trivial subject, honestly. so pointless. oh well, you get that.

now. here's an interesting dilemma. i recently met this guy at a concert thing in brissie. his name's james - i'm pretty sure i did an intro thing back somewhere. we got talking, and were chatting for a good three hours, about totally random subjects, like crossbows off the net and gobstoppers. and how much some of the performances blew. but anyways. and we just clicked instantly. i've talked to him a bit on msn, but not a subtantial amount. and basically, for some reason, no matter how illogical it is, i'm developing feelings for him (haha that's the most amusing phrase... yeah anyways). AND I DON'T KNOW WHY. i mean, it's not like i know him that well. but, i dunno, it just seems like i do. and then the really bad bit is the fact that he lives in brissie, while i live on the gold coast... a good hour away from each other. i'm not going to get to see him at all this school holidays, which sucks, because he's going to the snow until the 9th, then he goes back to school straight after. damn damn damn. i'm gonna go to one of his rugby games when he plays down here, but i'm not going to get much of a chance to chat with him, i suppose. basically, my head's in a bit of a mess because of it, partially because i can't seem to get him out of it. it's really confuzzling. any ideas????????

anyways... until next time

adios amigos

The iPod phenomenon continues to roll on, with Steve Jobs today announcing that Apple has sold over 2 million iPods since its debut, having sold 730,000 iPods in the December quarter alone. In addition, 10GB iPod has been moved up to 15GB for the same US$299 price point, and Apple has introduced a new 4 GB iPod for US$50 less, at US$249.

There were 8,560,872 mobile phones connected or in use around Australia at 30 June, 2000.

Almost seven-in-ten Queenslanders aged 18 years and over in October 2003 had use of a mobile phone, according to figures released today by the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

In October 2003, an estimated 77,000 Queenslanders (4%) with the use of a mobile lived in households with no phones connected. Of these, 56% were aged 18 to 29 years.

However, the majority of Queensland adults (96%) with the use of a mobile phone, lived in households with at least one phone connection.

Of all Queensland households surveyed, approximately 95% had a phone connected in October 2003.

Most connected Queensland households (99%) had at least one phone connection able to receive standard telephone calls, even if it was used mostly for facsimile or the Internet. Approximately 82% of these households had at least one phone connection listed in the residential section of Telstra's White Pages.


There is a huge market in the portable electronics industry. In the year 200, there were 8,560,872 mobile phones connected or in use in Australia. Apple has sold over two million iPods since is debut, and world wide many more million Discmans have been sold, 37 million Game-Boy Advances have been shipped worldwide (as of June 2003), and camera phones have also become wildly popular. However there is a niche in the market. One product which contains the elements of an iPod, Mobile Phone, High Resolution




As hard as this may sound, you may never see him that often for a long long time. I know it might be hard to get over another guy right after you have gotten over another guy, but... I'm only saying this for your own good. A family member of mine used to have a relationship with someone 4 hours drive from here. They tried to hard to keep it going, but I do think that being that far apart from someone for that long can just break you apart.

I know it sounds like a hard thing to do (get over James) but, in your best interests you probably shouldn’t keep really liking him. But oh well, how many of us who really like someone get to go out with them? If anyone reads this and says yes – god damn, ‘envy’ x 10000.

Oh well, you’ll find someone out there
