I'm back from the house today, I'm staying at mums tonight then we (mum, nan, pa& I) head to warni tomorrow for a two week holiday. It's easier to all leave from here then them having to swing by chapel st to pick me up. Oh how I miss walking out the front door to hundreds of stores allready :P
After Warni, I'm spending two weeks at mums place, as she wont have the company of nan, pa and my aunt and cousin anymore. Then back to the house, woot! I'll have the internet up and running by then so you will be hearing more from me.

Baby Jack (boy) or Indiana (girl) is due in the next few days, how scary!

Peace out Xoxo

The war in northern Uganda has been called the most neglected humanitarian crisis in the world today. For the past 23 years, Joseph Kony, the leader of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) has been abducting children and forcing them to fight as child soldiers. Kony is currently holding around 3,000 children captive. It's time to bring them home.

On the 25th of April, 2009 the international community will unite to deliver the innocent from Kony's reign and ensure he is brought to justice. Thousands of participants will gather in 100 cities across the world to symbolically abduct themselves to be free the abducted.

MELBOURNE - APRIL 25th 2009
Meet at 3pm Federation Square, our 'abduction point'

From there we will walk in silent protest to the 'LRA camp' at the Royal Park (around 3kms), where we will set up camp for the night.

While at the LRA camp, you will write letters to your political representatives, create art/photo projects and seek out media attention in an effort to petition our governments to develop a strategy and support existing efforts to rescue Kony's child soldiers.

What to pack:
Three photographs of you with your friends, family or guardian. Please place a red circle around yourself in the photo, symbolizing that you have been abducted. You will drop one of these photos at the abduction site, and include the other two with the letters you will write to your political representatives.
Supplies to set up camp and then wait for your rescue. You don't need much. The kids in Uganda leave for the bush with nothing but the cloths on their backs. Therefore, please bring the smallest possible amount of supplies - maybe a sleeping bag, pillow, warm clothes, comfortable shoes, food, water and a tarp if it is for-casted to rain. Remember, you will have to carry these supplies for up to 3kms during the march to the LRA camp.
Supplies to write letters and complete a simple art project. Grab a small amount of pens or paint to make your letters and art piece your own.
Your official Rescue tshirt. Ideally please wear the green 'AK-47' tee if you have one
$5 dollars. Please bring 5 bucks to the event. This money covers the cost to host this international awareness event.

This is an alcohol and drug free event, so please leave it at home.

For more information, please sign up for the event at therescue.invisiblechildren.com

My father is dead.
My boyfriend lost his job down here.
My family is struggling.
My doctor wants me to start a new treatment, a scary treatment.
My friend is not talking to me.

I was there when they needed me. Through the drinking and the tears and the funerals. I was there for each of them. Now they turn away from me when I need somebody most? I do not care if you dont know what to say, I never knew, yet I was there. But I should know not to expect anything in return, thats not how it works right?

Happy Birthday dad, wherever you are.

Happy 22nd birthday to Sezzzzz!

13/03/09 Friday - Sez turns 22.
14/03/09 Saturday - Josh and I celebrate our 3 year anniversary.
15/03/09 Sunday - It should have been my fathers birthday, the first birthday he wont be here for.

I'm in for a fun weekend.

we are doing dads ashes next sat (28th). To court and sez im down your way this sat avo if you want to catch up, send me a text and let me know

So today I missed the appointment I have been waiting for since october as mum had to rush nan to the hospital and Josh could not get me there on time. I was 5 mins late and they said that they needed that full hour with me, not 55 mins.

It's all so frustrating, I tried to explain we where having family problems at the moment, but no they do care. They can not get me another appointment til January, which is not too bad but still it means I will have to cancel my 21st birthday again.

We tried calling them back and explaining that my dad had just died, meaning the cercumstances had changed again, but all they care about is their precious 5 mins.

So I would have to say over-all, 2008 has sucked.

On the 8th of november 2008 Gary Holmes (aka- my father) passed away.
It was very quick and unexpected.

The funeral will be private, only family members will be able to attend. Not even the closest of our friends are coming so please do not be offended if we have not asked you.

There will be a celebration of his life on Monday the 17th, in which everybody will be welcome. Contact the family for time and location. This is to be a celebration so no all black clothing (unless that is your day to day outfit), no funeral-ish stuff, we want to focus on all the good things.
