I have a developing addiction to Gaia, so I thought; "Why not?".
Welcome to my journal.
I can't promise riveting, edge of your seat authoring about my crazy adventures through teenhood... well... yeah I can. blaugh

A few things about me:
Name: Call me "EM"
Age: 17
Grade: 12
Gender: F
Ambitions: Defence Force
Loves: Exploring places I really shouldn't be,
Karate and Japan in general.

I was born on the Tropic of Capricorn, no really, its a place called Rockhampton. No Dad just Mum and a very long story. She got a degree in Nursing while I was doing Kindagarden in Towoomba. Sometimes I was in Bundaberg visiting family. You might recognise the name Bundaberg if you have fun habits like me, the town is reknown for producing "Bundy Rum". My Pop (terry) and Nan (val) once went to England to meet up with family, the local pub, much to their amusement offered them XXXX, VB, and Bundy Rum. Mum went to England on a seperate occasion to meet with family, but I've never know much beyond that which fled to Australia. I'm more a Nihonjin then Brit anyway ^_^. I've now been studying Japanese for five years. Two weeks from now I'll be eating Udon in Tokyo and not for the first time. whee Compounding that Halloween is also coming up. Before Mum died it was a tradtion of ours to throw HUGE Halloween parties. It's not very tradtion'AL' but it was a tradion. It'll live on longer than she did for sentimental reasons, it seems strange to honour my Mum's memory by dressing up crazy and eating candy, but she was awesome like that and wouldn't have it any other way.

I live with my Nan and Pop now, mostly anyway. My Boyfriend rents close to town, and I stay with him on occasion. He really makes life amazing for me. He's kind enough that he takes care of me in his own sweet dinner-making-doting way but rough enough to want to go paint balling with me. Did I mention he rides a kawasaki 250 to school? I got the guy I'd been dreaming for all my childhood. I'm going to miss him so bad when I have to leave for the Airforce.

For a while now I've been getting ready to enter, my chosen profession Geospatial Imagery. I've passed all my tests so far, only medical, psyc and fitness left. Medically I'm sound as a pound, I've given blood (B+!) and was great. Psycologically other than the usual pms-school-and-stress induced chocolate fest I'm fine. I'm slightly worried about my fitness though. Friends think I'm nuts, I go to three nights of two hour Karate AND meet up with a personal trainer in a week. I'm just not a very good runner is all crying . I'm also not very good at keeping journals, so forgive me if the next entry is five weeks from now and all about Japan.
Yay for the end of winter~!
