Day 07 – Your best friend, in great detail


Born in September 1989 into a family full of boys, Jessica was intended for great things right from the outset. She came out of the womb practically already able to play the trumpet and sidled in nicely within the family orchestra.


As she grew up she found her talents were truly incredible. Whether it be her resilience to being the butt of her brothers jokes or her astounding ability to eat more McDonalds in one sitting than an obese American family of five (yet still retaining her fabulous figure!), she was truly admired by the community.


When she attended Sacred Heart College Geelong she was under admired. This is common of many geniuses; their talents ignored until someone is able to show them to the world. Fortunately, Jessica was able to prove her abilities in many ways, such as being in Musicals; Her starring role as Francis Flute in the college’s adaption of 'A Midsummers Night' by Shakespeare, and playing 'The Last Post' at every given opportunity. Jessica's fans swelled in numbers, with one notable figure included; myself.


I was lucky enough to find in Jessica, all the fun, crazy parts of myself that I had long forgotten in my journey from childhood to adolescence. Jessica has an amazing ability to draw out those sections of my soul and channel them into unalloyed laughter and fun. She is one of the few people in this world that I have had the pleasure of meeting that can both be an exceptional partner in crime, but an attentive and diligent listener when required. I am positive that no one here on earth today has a bigger heart and soul than Miss Jessica.


So to conclude, I hope everyone who reads this has a Jessica in their lives. They will fill your heart with euphoria and make every day a pure delight. Don't forget to appreciate their presence.



I love you, Jessica. Thank you for being my friend. xx

Originality. (A post that contains no original thought.)

Is it possible to be original in this day and age? I feel like every I write is plagerising someones idea before me.

Look at 'The Hunger Games' by Suzanne Collins. Here I (and she) thought it was a brilliant unique idea and even she has been accused of plagerising. So annoying. I feel like any book or show i write is going to be a copyright law suit waiting to happen.

Even writing essays I'm consistently worried that I'm plagerising a journal I haven't reads thoughts on whatever I'm writing. It's terrifying.

Do we just start again when it comes to ideas for television, film and music? Do we take the themes in shows from the past and just put a modern spin on them? Or is there still room for completely unique and brilliant writing?

Who knows. In the mean time I'll just pray to the Gods of Uniqueness to find me a brilliant idea.

Gay Marriage ramblings.

I have absolutely no idea why anyone would oppose a marriage act that promotes equality. it drives me insane. Anyone who is opposed to this should have some sort of freedom taken away. Like, they're not allowed to eat anymore. Or drive. Or watch telly or something. Or I'm allowed to punch them in the face once a week. I'll just travel the country in a 'punch buggie' and punch the crap out of idiots. Such fun!

The most important point I can see in this whole debate is that RELIGION AND STATE ARE SEPARATE FOR A REASON. Christianity can not be Government policy. It just can't. Every Christian who says that Gay marriage opposes God and that it shouldn't be law because we are a country founded on the principles of Christianity are being ridiculous. We should NOT be influenced by religion when it comes to equality. If we were, no one would have rights.

Gay marriage should be legal because its right. Everyone should be equal. Religion cannot dictate laws in this country, I won't stand for it. When you look back on it, there were people opposed to the freeing of slaves, too. They look back in shame, and so will you if you're opposed to equality in any form.

I know this wasn't particularly eloquent but it really gets my goat!

Ramble over.


Song lyrics today:

'Four cold walls against my will,
at least I know he's lying still.
Four cold walls, without parole.
God have mercy on my soul.'

- Hadn't been for Love - Adele.

Late Night Apologies

Yes, yes. I know I'm late. I'm the equivalent of an employee rushing into the office, still putting her tights on, trying desperately to get to the phone before her boss notices it's been ringing for 15 minutes. I'm that kid at their desk frantically scribbling last nights geometry homework on a bit of scrap paper they found on the floor.

Apologies.

So it's April, again. Goodness me. This will be my 3rd year of doing BEDA. How insane? Feels like only yesterday I was sitting down to my very first blog post, dellusionally spouting optimistic promises about my blogging habits.

I've really got nothing to say today. Instead I shall quote the beautiful Adele.


'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't.
You can't make your heart feel, something that it won't.'


Have a great day xx
