The Secret Life of Renee

Well I'm off to America today...Yay!!!! I'll be a whole heap closer to a lot of you than usual! Hope you all have a great Christmas and New Year, and I'll talk to you when I get back....YAY!!!!

Stolen off Nimmeh and Cory

Ask me five questions. Any five questions. Life, love, death, when or if I've lost my virginity, if I've tried drugs, where I stand on a political issue, what my favourite song is, sexuality- I'll try my best to answer completely. If you ask, please repost in your journal.

Stolen from everyone...I love you guys!!!

If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, (even if we don't speak often) please post a comment with a COMPLETELY MADE UP AND FICTIONAL memory of you and me.

It can be anything you want - good or bad - BUT IT HAS TO BE FAKE.

When you're finished, post this little paragraph on your blog and be surprised (or mortified) about what people DON'T ACTUALLY remember about you.

We got a new dog on the weekend! He's not actually a puppy. He's like 7 or something, but he's so cute! here's a pic.....http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v224/ReneeD/0e5bdef9.jpg His name is Woody :P He came with the name! Not our choice!

Only one week and one day before I can see GoF....damn Australia.....only about a month behind the rest of the world.

Cory I think I caught your sickness.....now I'm sick too. Damn you! Either that, or maybe it was my brother...hmm.

Hey guys,

Just thought I should give you all an update on what's going on in my life right now, seen as I haven't been on much lately. I still love you all! I just have a lot going on right now.

First off is uni exams. In just under a week I'll be finished uni for good. But must get through exams first! But they're not going too well....cause of other things in my life.

Next I have started a new job. I am doing home therapy, working with kids who have autism or similar problems. I'm a reall therapist! I feel so important! So I've been doing a lot of training for that, and working and I'm only going to get more hours, but that's good cause I need money!

Hmm....well also I am doing taekwon do now, and I have my very first grading tomorrow. I'm learning how to kick people's asses :)

But by far the most important and highly distracting thing in my life at the moment is that my boyfriend and I broke up :( We've been dating for nearly five years now and neither of us have really been with anyone else so we just reached a point in our relationship where we had to see other people and do other stuff before we could decide if this is forever. I know it's something I need to do, otherwise I'll probably regret it if we ever got married, and he would too, but it still hurts real bad. We're still going to be good friends. He's been my best friend for so long, and you can't just give that up, but we've certainly get a bumpy road ahead of us, watching each other date other people and stuff....that's what hurts the most. I am a very jealous person, and I don't want to have to share him with anyone. But I guess I have to learn to deal with it. If it's meant to be, then we'll end up together, if not we'll find someone else :(:(

But anyway, so that's what's been happening with me lately. I haven't forgotten you guys though.

Well I am really bored today. U have spent most of the day at the computer or not far from it, cause I am ripping all my music onto my computer so I can put it on my Ipod (which I dont get til my birthday in October). I have an exciting life! And now that I have faster internet, I got all my internet stuff done in like less that half the time, so I have run out of computer stuff to do, which is why I am updating my poor neglected LJ.

LJ question...how do I get cool layouts for it? *is totally naive to the world of LJ*

Guess what!! I now have fast internet!! Yay!! I'm on google earth at the moment! Have you checked it out? It's so awesome! I can go anywhere in the world! Mwahaha...I have been to the Grand Canyon and Paris and Antarctica....so much fun!

I thought it might be cool to have our own little 'photo album' section. I've probably seen photos of most of you in the members photo section of AF, but I thought it might be good to have all our photos here, rather than searching through heaps of threads. If you don't want to post a photo, that's cool too!

I hope the photos I post work....I can post stuff on the forums, but otherwise I am pretty internet illiterate!

Well, here's some of me and Jacks. I'm always on the right, Jacks is on the left....weird how we always do that!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v224/ReneeD/T65.jpg Me and Jacks in jail at Port Arthur (it's a historical village in Tasmania, now a tourist place. Apparantly it's really haunted!)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v224/ReneeD/PortArthur-Dressingup8.jpg At Port Arthur again....dressing up as prisoners...heaps of fun!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v224/ReneeD/Intheshower4.jpg Also on our holiday to Tasmania,,,we'd just been for a swim and it was freezing, so we bolted back to have a nice warm shower, and rather than wait we all hopped in. The two boys are my younger brothers.

So...your turn now! Bring out your embarrassing photos, or your drop dead sexy...whatever you want!

EDIT - Oooh lookie! I did it!! Found one more photo to post...this is a normal one. Once again, I am on the right...I think it's a conspiracy. I am now going to scour all the photos of me and Jacks and see if we are always on the same sides! This is just before we went to the Blink 182 concert. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v224/ReneeD/Blink182017resize.jpg

Well, I thought I should add to my LJ for any of my faithful viewers out there! Hehe. Sorry to bore you with my ramblings. Um....well my life is really exciting. I went to uni today. Only a few weeks before exams. I got some results back the other day.....I got a 7 on an assignment :):D (7 is the best by the way....85% and above) I got one of the highest marks in the class. Couldn't be happier with that!

Umm.....Star Wars comes out next week. So who's a Star Wars fan? I'm not a major fan or anything, but it's mildly entertaining. Something I'll pay money to see.

Just over 2 months til HBP....I can hardly contain my excitement!! Yay! Finally......questions to be answered...but probably I'll go crazy waiting for book 7.

Well, I've run out of stuff to stay. Boy do I feel boring. Maybe I should go do some quizzes....or play Sims....time to boot Jacki off the other computer :)

I went to the Avril concert last night!! She is an awesome live performer!! Her voice is so powerful. And her band is pretty cool too. She played 18 songs! Not bad....but it still went too quickly :( I bought an Avril shirt....pretty groovy. Now she better hurry up and release a new album.

Guess what?!?!? I am going to the Avril Lavigne concert on Monday!! yay!! I can't wait. I went to her first concert in Australia about 2 years ago and it was awesome so I was super excited when I heard she's having another one. Yay!

Grr...uni sucks. All my assignments are due soon and I have two exams coming up. How depressing. I should be working on my assignment right now but I needed a break! Yay for LJ and AF!!
