Growing Up in The 90's (Australia)
rentedsurroundings:
You watched the ABC more than any other station. Those days are long gone. You made worms by squeezing your Vegemite or peanut butter crackers together. The best parties always had fairy bread. The Waugh twins. Go! Aussie! Go! Super League almost ruined rugby league in Australia. Getting the Easter Show guide from the paper and circling all the show bags you wanted. You thought...

Tired...
I spent my Friday night trying to pull myself together, write a resume and keep calm. I don’t even know if I’m ready to step out into the world again, but I need to start earning some money.
I admit it - I’m struggling.
I am sick of waking up every morning, plastering a smile on my face, and trying to get through the day like a normal, functioning human being. I’m so...

You’re still the only one I want in my zombie shelter.
So...
My real name is Deanna, but I prefer Dede. I have been described as “blunt”, “too honest”, and “too open”. Yeah, like I give a shit. Also, I swear a lot. I’m covered in bruises, because I trip over everything. Sometimes, when I go to the city, I get lost on purpose - just for fun.
I have a morbid fear or birds - I can’t even look at pictures of...
Goodnight Lovies...
I hope that you all had/are going to have an amazing day.

My river runs to thee: Blue sea, wilt welcome me? My river waits reply. Oh sea, look graciously! I’ll fetch thee brooks From spotted nooks, — Say, sea, Take me!

… and I’m terrified that while I’m busy looking for it, it’ll fly right by me.

Nostalgia
I couldn’t sleep last night (of course), so I decided to look through some old journals - and what did I find? A ridiculous number of emo-tastic poems that I wrote when I was twelve. I used the words “black” and “despair” a lot.
I’d love to be able to go back in time and tell my twelve year old self “you think this is bad, kid? wait a couple more...

Word of the Day
havent-got-a-prayer:
profundity
There are people I like being around, and people that I don’t. It’s really that simple. I like spending my time with those who enjoy discussing things, whatever they may be. I like spending my time with those who have opinions and are not afraid to voice them. I like the thinkers and the talkers. But I also like the doers. I like people who travel outside...

I Am Vertical
But I would rather be horizontal. I am not a tree with my root in the soil Sucking up minerals and motherly love So that each March I may gleam into leaf, Nor am I the beauty of a garden bed Attracting my share of Ahs and spectacularly painted, Uknowing I must soon unpetal. Compared with me, a tree is immortal And a flower-head not tall, but more startling, And I want the one’s longevity and...

Today I....
Fell asleep in the backyard, and woke up with the sun shining on my face. The weather had cooled considerably, and I lay on my back, listening Ella Fitzgerald on the radio and wondering why I don’t do this more often.
If you get the chance, go outside and sit on your lawn. Read a book, or listen to your favourite song. Make daisy chain necklaces, and look for shapes in the clouds. Breathe.

@ Motion Sensor Soundtrack...
I visited your site, and listened to some of your songs, and I just wanted to let you know that you have a new fan.
I think you are wonderful.
The way I see it

Tumblr is here for you to do whatever you want. Follow who you want and don’t follow who you don’t want to. Post what you want, reblog what you want, and say what you want. That’s the point. I’m sorry, but one of my biggest pet peeves are people trying to lay down guidelines or ‘rules’ regarding how to organize your tumblr. There is no such thing as rules. It’s yours...
I don't understand why out of all Canadian bands,...
backtothis:
In my opinion, they suck.
I completely agree. Unfortunately for me - my mother is OBSESSED with that band… so guess what we always have to listen to in the car?
Dude...
Jared: So Jason was like "Dude, we're gonna get stabbed, we're gonna get stabbed." And I was like "Dude, we're not gonna get stabbed." So then he bought like scissors and a screwdriver with him cause he thought he was gonna get shanked.

Jared: So yeah, I was waking up at like five in the -- FUCKING HELICOPTERS!!!
Five minutes later...
Jared: So yeah, remember how I had that green place that I used to go to, and it used to make me all happy, and -- FUCKING HELICOPTERS!!!

It makes sense...
Dede: Happy Australia Day toots! Was it as hot out where you are as it was here?
Lucy: Happy Australia Day honeybear! Man, it was BOILING!
Dede: I think it has to be hot on Australia Day. It's like, an unwritten rule or something.

Please, Please, Please...
The light moves strangely in this house, and if I squint my eyes and look hard, the sun filtering through the blinds leaves behind shapes of people I thought I’d never see again.

No, I am not that insane. The title is from a generator on the Script Frenzy site.
Against my better judgement, I’ve decided to participate. I’m a short story/attempted novelist kinda girl, and I’ve never tried writing a script before. This should be fun.
In other news, there are strange children yelling outside my bedroom window, and the sky is turning a sickly green colour.

Sounds like how I’d explain it. Makes sense.

“I think some people in togas are plotting against me…”
When I am bored, I look up phrases in Latin. Is that strange?
