Hey guys! How is it going? Time to talk about Day 2 of my adventure before I forget everything.

We woke up early and did the usual things you do in the morning, except and had to scavage our own breakfast! D: I brught food with me. :P We then took a train and a bus to arrive at Ballarat. Sovereign Hill wasn't open yet, so we went to the Gold Museum nearby. So...much...gold. I got bored of it quickly though. :P Sovereign Hill then opened! It's pretty much an open air museum which depicts Ballarat's first ten years after the discovery of gold there in 1852. I totally did not just steal those fancy words from Wikipedia. :|

I love the place and everything but there was just one problem. IT WAS RAINING AND FREEZING. I didn't have an umbrella. Oh, the people who worked there were in costume and in character! Blacksmiths, police, some guy that kept ringing a bell, Chinese people, lollymakers, farmers, the women, the men, someone that sells and makes clothes which I believe are called tailors, bakers you name it! :D

At the bakery, the bakers were so nice and you actually see them make the food. She called me Ma'am! :o Well everyone did there. :P I bought an apple pie for my friend and I had some of it. :| At the clothing shop you could buy the old-fashioned clothes and top hats, legit and not-so legit! :D I tried a legit one and it was comfy. :cool: I saw turkeys, very big pigs and...*in Ed's voice* CHICKEEEEEEENNSSS!!!! You could Pan for Gold for a Dollar but I didn't feel like it. :P

We got to go to an underground tour and at the start, it was pitch black. Literally! :| It was the most darkest room I've ever been in. But when the carts stopped there was light and we learned how people searched for gold underground. After the very interesting tour was done, we went back into the carts and yet again it was pitch black. After that I walked around some more. There was candle making but I didn't want to do that either.

Afterwards everyone in my class sat down and waited for the lollymaking to start. The guy (which me and some others to believe that he looks like Hamish Blake & Andy Lee fused together) started to make the confectionary which started off as liquid. It was now gooey and he kepy folding it and rolling it with his 'poor man's gloves'. That's flour. :| He then put it in a roller which flattened the confectionary and when it was hard, he picked it up and smahsed it to the table. He did this twice. Once without explaining and the other with an explanation. He also made horse heads, which are pretty much hard lollies in the shape of a horse's head on a stick! Oh by the way, he was making boiled lollies. After the demonstartion, I ordered a large jar of mixed boiled lollies and a horsehead. I payed for the jar but he gave me the horseheads for free! What a nice (and attractive) man! :oops:

Oh, before the demonstration at the start, about 6-9 boys from my class came along with walking canes. I was confused and they just said it was a secret society. :P I call them 'The Cane Gang'. Instead of the Kane Gang??? :| They bought the canes somewhere around the area. :P The started to play round with the canes which got the teachers a little annoyed. Like, on the next day they played hockey with the canes and a lolly. *dramatic extreme close up* OR WAS THAT THE SAME DAY??? :|

I can't remember.

At the souveneir shop I bought horse coasters (for a friend) and a stubby holder for myself. :P I don't drink, I use stubby holders for cans.......of soft drink. :|

NO ALCOHOL, I SWEAR! :lol:

Oh, I can't remember what dinner was but it was at the hotel. :|

Oh yeah I think it was pasta! :D

Goodnight. :|

Hey guys! School started this week! Although I was away for the first 4 days, reason being the Melbourne excursion and I wasn't feeling well today. But I am going to school on Friday, which is tomorrow. :P

On Friday last week at 1 AM me and about 36-38 other students came to school to catch a bus along with 3 teachers.

I noticed that one of my best friends has showed up! This surprised me considering he said he wasn't coming along. This made me very happy. The bus head off to Brisbane. We sat next to each other on the bus, and a few times he slept on me. :| I couldn't sleep that whole trip! :cry: When we got to Brisbane he waited about 3 hours to catch the plane to Melbourne (which is in another state by the way). What did I do during those hours? I walked around, drew a little, spoke to some people and watched the television that was discussing the presidental election and.....*shudder* Mitt Romney. *shudder*. In about 2 hours to go, we checked out our bags and headed upstairs.

There were shops everywhere and we were allowed to roam around. I didn't buy anything, but a few people bought food and my friend bought a book. He loves books. :P When a sat down a few schoolmates said that they saw Jamal Idris that plays for the Gold Coast Titans! (Previously Canterbury Bulldogs). Then they showed me the photo on the camera! I then head off and started to walk. I walked past the male toilet and who happens to walk out of there? JAMAL IDRIS. I got to admit, he is a tall bloke. :o I saw somebody ask for his photo and he seemed happy enough. I didn't bother. :P

On the plane I got the window seat! :D But I couldn't sleep then either! :cry: The plane had a bumpy landing. When we landed we went outside and caught a bus that dropped us off at Hotel Discovery, which was a pretty okay stay to place at. He found our rooms and then packed our backpacks with stuff we needed and met up with everybody. We walked into town to find Federation Square. There were protesters to save the Kimberley! (Which is in WA, and we were in Victoria). There was a big event happening actually, with music! Then this tour guide showed and showed our group the town.

She showed up various places I can't remember, walls and walls of pretty street art ( I took photos!) and historical areas. And you would not belive what I saw. Someone was cosplaying as Link from TLoZ! people in my class didn't recognise him but I did and took photos. He was at the other side of the street though. I went over to another group to tell a mate of mine that Link is around. He came with me but he couldn't see Link. :( Because Link walked off, silently. It was a pretty good cosplay too. he has the shield and the sword and everything. :P

After that we went back to the hotel to have dinner and then we caught a tram (which was painful because I stood up for the whole time) to go to Luna Park! It was a small theme park, but it was fun. I went on two rollercoasters. One was really bumpy and the other was fast! I also went through a mirror maze and this boat ride that goes sideways upwards-if that makes sense? I went on that ride 3 twice. After that he head on back tot he hotel and had about 4-6 hours of sleep.

That was Day One. hope you guys enjoyed this blog and will enjoy the rest!

Goodnight!

-Lauren

Hello people I'm back from Melbourne and I had such a great time there with a few friends and a hole lot of aquaintances along with teachers.

It was freezing cold there despite it being Spring and we walked and walked and had fun and walked!

I'll tell you more tomorrow.

Okay?

Goodbye.

-Lauren

Hey guys I'm going on a school excursion starting tomorrow 1:00 AM and I won't be back Wednesday so goodbye. :|

But I live in Australia.

I need a hug. :(

I was watching an episode of Good Game and Bajo was talking to Ed Boon saying that Australia Refused Clasification for Mortal Kombat 9 so he asked for a hug! XD And he got one! :lol:

Yes, I know Australia is getting R18+ for video games soon. But it doesn't mean that Mortal Kombat 9 will get un-banned. Our rating system for video games is pretty dumb. Isn't MK9 rated M in America or something?

But I live in Queensland.

OUR PREMIER IS CAMPBELL NEWMAN. :evil: He's done so many stupid decisions....:x

I hate him, and I doubt he'll pass it for QLD.

So, yeah I want to play Mortal Kombat 9.

Goodnight.

-Lauren

Argh, I had to restart this laptop again, now I can't remember what the introduction was.

Hello. :|

The other day I typed up 'BlazikenTails64' in Google for no particular reason and it gave me links to Unions posts, blogs mentioning me, of course my own blogs. :|

I had a look at a link to The Playback Union where I was having a conversation with SuperfastSonic and Munchgun. You remember them? Due to an inside joke I nicknamed Superfast 'Broadband' and Munchgun and me had so many adventures! XD Like that time I destroyed his magic house. I think it was a shoe. :| And how Pegacorns actually exists. I now know that they are called alicorns, but I didn't know that then. :|

Oh, and remember the Ninja Kitten Home Skillet Union? I NEVER JOINED. I always posted but never joined! That's right, I was a lurker! And nobody knew! Well, maybe except for Maxwell. (That's Munchgun's nickname, of many).

I also saw a few posts in many unions that people spoke about me! :o Behind my back! :evil: But in a good way. :) :P

Then there was when I met a lot of other people like SFG and Berto and Alondite and sirracannal and Slyfur and Out-Of-Ammo and iowastate and macrules and Asagea and luke and mariostar and CamoBullo and AvatarMan and Tomatoes and and many many more fo you nice users!

Know, if I mentioned you, sorry if I forgot your whoe username. I usually forget the numbers. :P

No, I am not leaving GameSpot. Are you crazy? :|

Just try typing in your username into Google Search. See what you can find. Find an early post that might give you memories. :)

I wonder if Munchgun has Gotten the Bee yet. :P

Today I watched 3 movies. I saw Arrietty, Real Steel and Puss in Boots. All are very good movies. I really liked Real Steel though. :P

Goodbye! :|

-Lauren

Hey, those guys who were interested in the pokemon trades from the last blog, message me ASAP? :P

I saw this film called The Pirates! and it is really well done and funny!

I recommend it to anybody! :D

Well, not little kids that won't get the jokes....especially the innapropriate ones.

Apparently the American release of this film cuts out certain jokes and overdubbed some characters for no real reason. :|

Americans. :P

If they're not used to crude humour, better not watch Rove LA then. :P

THE NUDIST SHIP! :lol:

This movie has great voice talent too! Too bad I only recognised Hugh Grant, Martin Freeman and David Tennant. :P

The pirates sure love their ham!

For those who have not seen the film, it's about a group of pirates with their Pirate Captain (seriously, that's his name) and his parrot (dodo) Polly wanting to become Pirate of the Year and they meet Charles Darwin to help them while trying to avoid Queen Victoria. :P

In the film a woman mentioned her name was Jane Austen! :o

Some in the jokes wouldn't make sense in that timeline, but that's what makes this film so funny!

Well, I should shut up now.

Goodnight!

-Lauren

Hey guys! I'm currently watching The Lorax. The animation is so pretty, I love it! :D

Hey, any Pokemon Black & White users here???? That can access the internet and can do pokemon trades?

Because I want to fill my pokedex. :P

I believe I blogged about this before.

What's really annoying is that on the game you can only search for pokemon that has been seen by your pokedex. The ones I need have not be seen, and some I just can't find anywhere. :|

Even if there is no one that is willing to trade, here's a list of pokemon I need anyway to fill up my pokedex.

Yes, I did waste my time in one point of my life to figure out which pokemon I need.

GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL!

Now, some I could just get an egg, or just catch some in the wild and evolve.

Also, there's a Keldeo event occuring in Australia, but it's not happening in my town.

And Genesect is getting distributed in Australia through the internet in a couple of weeks. :P Or days. I can't remember.

So, that's the list if anyone wants to help, or is just curious! :P

Goodnight!

-Lauren

Hey! You guys better be happy! :(

Wait, what?

I miss Munchgun. :|

ANYWAY.....

I was at my friend's house for a couple of days and we just watched Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni. Which is a really good anime, but we watched the English version. -_-

I think I'm up to the 4th Arc/Chapter? :P

It's definetely not something you want to show your kids.

If you have kids.

Or plan to have kids.

But if you don't that's totally cool.

I want to adopt.

Only if I can name them Eddward! :x

:|

Or maybe Wade?

Kurt?

Stephen?

Dean?

..Mycroft? :|

Why am I only thinking male names? :P

If I had a girl I could call her Vanessa!

Or maybe Hope?

Pinkamena?

Rebecca?

Haruka?

...Adeleine?

Adeleine is a very unique name. It's the name of one of my favourite Kirby characters. Too bad she was only in one video game.

I made vanilla cupcakes today. They look okay, and taste nice. :|

I want to change my banner, but Sonic pointing at me (and you!) is cool. And I like my Lord raptor icon!

Oh, I went to see Madagascar 3 today, hence the blog title.

So many pretty lights.

Sonya the Bear is so adorable! And even cuter when she gets a motorbike.

Oh, one more thing....

DA DA DADA DA DA DA CIRCUS

DA DA DADA DA DA DA AFRO CIRCUS

AFRO CIRCUS AFRO

POLKA DOT POLKA DOT

POLKA DOT AFRO!

Goodnight.

-Blaze

Hello. I'm currently watching this show and it's great.

I'm nearly up to Season 2.

Me and Dean have something in common, we both like pie.

So, this ain't a real blog. Sorry for making you disappointed.

Here, have a random unrelated YouTube clip. (turn the music up to max)

Enjoy,
