Things I've learnt from Girlfriend this month

I just bought this months issue of 'Girlfriend' (not the one on the picture, the other one of Eddy and Bella) and as I was reading it I thought 'I has taught me a lot' so here is the list:

• In pictures, the contrast of the dress matters
• On the 21st of June, it's world music day
• Apparently, pale skin is in. Thats good on my part.
• Ingrid Michaelson is becoming more recognised in Australia, with her song on a tiny picture of an iPod. Its 'Winter Song' BUY IT! (page 110 people)
  
• I wanna buy T2 and drink it
• 'Yo Gabba Gabba' is apparently a good TV show. I reckon its scary.
• Some author has ripped off twilight (down to the cover).
  
• Girlfriend's a huge contradiction, with little tags of 'Reality Checks' but having heaps of gorgeous models on their pages
• And finally, this blog sounded better in my head than it is. But I'll post it anyway.
  

Nail painting is fun...when you have nails

my pandora bracelet is annoying me when i type. I would take it off,but my nail are still a little wet (I wish i didn't decide to paint them) and i don't want to wreck my bracelet. Oivey.

Today I went downtown to get a new school bag. All my friends were at netball. I don't see why they think playing in freezing weather is fun. But then, they might not see why I enjoy doing 13 hours of dancing. hmm. Anyway. So...I had to go downtown by myself or with dad. I chose myself, so I could have a look around. It wasn't as bad as I thought, shopping alone is quite calming. And the store people are very nice. Even a cute boy working at a store smiled at me on the way out *squee!*. Spent $50 bucks at cotton on. I love their winter stuff its really nice. Better than their summer stuff. My new bag is from Mark Anthony's. I would have liked better, but beggers can't be choosers. After all, it is mid-year, and bags aren't a huge priority. Its brown, has silver-ish swirls and is roxy. It is not as big as my last bag (thank gawd! I never knew that I could cop so much flack from a bag! Geez they were really scraping the bottom of the bucket for things to bag me out with). Anyway. I got chips from Maccas, and they gave it to me in this cute mini-bag. And I got an ice-chocolate from Sugars. Everyone go to Sugars, my sisterworks there!.

And the best news, my party is tonite! Yay! 21 girls at La Porchetta LOL. Have no idea what I'm getting.

Anyway, I'll tell you about it tomorrow!

just one fo the many things that make teenagers self-conscious

Ok, this is a convo from the internet that a teenage girl had with a teenage boy. Both were 13. The girl had been having a weird relationship with the boy (not as in gf-bf relationship as in the boy was mean to her for no apparent reason). After reading this, you'll see why so many girls are self-conscious. The girl's name is 'Miss Y' the boys name is 'Mr X': (the convo bit turns out weird)

hey Mr x
								hey fag
								gee thanks
								now u call me a name
								I don't want to, thats mean
								ok then fag
								stop being gay, mr x
								ur being gay fag
								shut up, ok? what did i do to derserve this?
								ur just weird
								so that makes it ok to bag me out all the time?
								yerp
								well wuld u prefer me to be some flirty, boring normal girl, eh?
								well thts better then weirdo dramtic fag
								i
								im not a fag
								ur the fag
								shutup you fagwit
								please stop all this
								sorry grandma
								thats alright, retard

You see, the girl started this convo because she wanted to end this war, because this isn't the first time Mr X has been mean. It didn't work. What else could the girl have said? What would you say if that happened to you? She retaliaited, only because she couldn't think of anything else to say. I'm not posting this to show how stupid boys are, but to show that bullying is never cool.

Reasons to stop biting your nails (Even if you don't, tell your friends who do, to read this)

I have been a compulsive nail biter since I was 3. I remember that first incident because my sister was baby-sitting me. But thats another story.

Anyway, being an OCD nail-biter, I find it hard to show people my hands or wear nail polish. People tell me to put some foul smelling stuff on my nails. I told them that it wouldn't work, because not only do I bite my nails, I also rip them off (Sounds gross, but OCD people are like that).
Bad things that come out of nail-biting:

• They look disgusting
• If you pick the skin around them, the skin looks gross
• It really hurts
• You get self-conscious about your nails
• You get jealous to people who can wear nail polish
• You can't enjoy nail-polish
• You can't stop biting your nails
• When you try to wear lip-gloss which is sticky to stop biting, you just forget you have it on and end up with sticky fingers...yuk
• Friends get really grossed out and make you feel worse, which gets you stressed and makes you bite your nails more
• When you try to grow them again, you feel the nails and they are really annoying and you end up biting them again
• When you try to regrow them, they grow awkwardly and wonky so before they get to length to file them, they break off and you just want to finish the job you didn't start
• You don't concentrate on what you're meant to be doing, and you end up being scolded for nail-biting and half a finished job. Annoying.
• You get mouth infections, which hurt.
• And this reason, which is most prominent, is that when you bite your nails, your bottom jaw is pushed forward. That is not how the jaw is meant to go, and with that repeditive movement, the jaw socket it spazzed out, resulting in a clicking of the jaw and eventually the lock of the jaw, which is painful, scary and annoying. This could result in a lifetime of bad jaw-lock, like I have. And it's all because of my nail-biting.
  

So from that long list, you see my troubles. When I try to grow my nails, they are all wonky and annoying, and when they grow okay, I can feel them there, waiting to be ripped off. So as well as the list being bad things that happen from nail-biting, they are reasons to stop. Who wants that to happen? No one. So since I have been told that if I don't stop, my jaw could be in jeopardy, I need to stop. I just need something to occupy my hands, like a stress ball or something. Please, whoever reads this, help me stop biting my nails!!!!

Needing to learn to braid

it that how you spell braid? Anyway...school tomorrow and dancing in an hour and 20 mins. I better do homework. OWWW my hand jusrt cracked. And the cold weathers making my jaw spazz out real badly.

Not getting a fringe anymore. rightio then.

This guy who i know and stuff just burned me without being mean coz i reckon he blocked me when he said he 'gtg' lol. Guys are weird things. Screw em.

Byebye!

Sweet Sweet hours

I hate having msn conversations where you have to bite your tongue, (or refrain from typing how you feel) because if you do, it will turn into a real fight? Oh I hate it. And the other person keeps being so annoying. And you want to stop the conversation, but the other person started it and won't shut up? Thats happening now. For friends who know me well, I think u can guess the person :P

I'm wearing this watch I got at an American airport for 10 dollars. It only have 4 lines for numbers so I don't read it often. It just looks pretty kewl.

I played the Sims 2 on PS2 for the first time in a long time. It was really fun, although it got boring after my two sims married.
