Hey guys,
Wow, it's been almost a month since I came on. It feels like twenty four hours not twenty-eight days!
Sadly, all the stuff in my last entry is still pretty much the same stuff I'm doing now. Babysitting my foster sis (she's great BTW, a total gem!), writing (I've got my butt in and finished heaps, still have a tone to go though :/), editing Prism of Colours (going great) and learning to drive (just hit my twenty hour mark!).
Brought my own laptop on Wednesday. A small 1.1kg EEE PC. It was worth $800 but I got it for $500 on sale. It has Internet and everything. :D I love it.
Going to my brother and sis-in-laws at Christmas, which should be fun. My sis-in-law only has the public holidays off cause she just started at Westpac full time but we'll still get to see her :D
I gotta go. I wanna write a chapter before we go pick up my FS (Foster sister).
Be good, have fun and keep safe.

Fostering, Driving, Writing and TWLOHA
Hello all,
I wont apologise again for not posting as often as I promised I would because I'm sure you all understand, life gets busy when you least expect it to.
Last week we were told of our first foster child (my mum and step-dad are foster parents), I can't say too much but I can say shes five months old and totally gorgeous. Today she comes to us until February.
Another thing keeping me busy has been writing. I've been trying so hard to get all my short stories finished but it's difficult when you have so much on your mind. I really need to get stuck in and just finish them. I know I wont finish them by January though. Which kinda sucks but there isn't a lot you can do about it.
Also, there's my driving. So far I've done about twelve hours. I'm really impressed with myself about how I've handled all these new and freaky things. I mean, when I get into a car to drive, I'm in control - everything I do or don't do could potentially hurt someone. But I can say I've had a lot of fun, which I predicted. I have someone shouting in my ear the whole time which totally bugs me ha-ha but I figure they're just trying to help. I can understand that being in the car with a learner is probably scary ha-ha. Like the other day I was trying to reverse park, one of the first times I'd ever tried it and I totally stuffed up and Mum got cranky at me. Experienced drivers forget what it's like to learn how to drive. They just know how easy it is for them and they're like do this - do that but when you try it, the result is the opposite to what it should be. I guess I don't like being told how to do something a hundred and twenty times just because I did something wrong, you know?
I've printed out 'Prism Of Colours', you know the book I'm writing? Anyway, I'm going to go through it and edit it. I'll add to it as well and stuff, make it longer etc. I've also come up with a new idea for a novel to write after I finish this one. It requires extensive research into the para-normal and mental disorders but I'm up for the challenge. Not that I really need another challenge right now, ha-ha. But yeah, I'm not going to write it until I finish 'Prism Of Colours'.
On the Thirteenth of November I'd like for everyone to write the word 'Love' on their arm. It's to show support for To Write Love On Her Arms, a non for profit organisation that helps people going through depression, addiction and self harm. I know they'd appreciate your support.
That's all I have to say for today.
Be good, have fun and keep safe.
