There is like this massive duststorm in Sydney. ***Note: This is NOT the picture of the duststorm brewing in Sydney right now, the internet doesn’t have one yet, I just got a random one*** Well, anyway. It is HUGE! Like I woke up in the middle of the night, it was very windy and there was like ghost noises (You know when the wind is going quickly through the window) yeah, well that noise. I looked out the window and literally, I thought it was the end of the world. The sky was blood red, literally. Blood, blood red. It was not dark at all. Just red. Pure red. Yeah, well, you get the point. Almost like the Victorian bush fires – except worse. I AM in Sydney at the moment. People are wearing masks where it’s thicker, some schools have closed, flights cancelled and delayed … When I went out to take Pasha out for a walk this morning (My grandma’s schnauzer) I could not open my eyes fully, the dust went in them and stung them and the cars parked outside the townhouses were covered in dust, you could draw on them and see them clearly, although I didn’t because it was someone else’s car. It was deserted like in one of those country western movies and there were only a few cars going past and very little birds flying around. And a friend of mine from Melbourne is supposed to be coming today, to Sydney I mean. We might not see each other, but oh well. I’m so worried about her because of the dust storms and how the planes are delayed and cancelled. What is with this weather? A few days ago, floods, storms, everything! Sydney being 35 degrees!!! Ugh! I hate climate change and it needs to stop … Now! And I am not like another Bindi Irwin because I really don’t want to be!!!

Spalding High Bounce Balls
Seriously, these balls are like the bomb now! Everyone has them, well, mostly everyone. I used to have 3. A pink one, a yellow one, and a blue one with swirls on it but my annoying little sister, Willow, stole my yellow one and lost it! She is so annoying. I mean, she rips the paint off my door and stuff. Well, anyway, even though this post is not about Willow, I’ll tell you what she did: After speed skating on Sunday morning (mind you his happened a few weeks ago) we went to MacDonalds with all the other speed skaters (like every Sunday) and she pulled down her pants, including her undies! Yuck! Anyway, so yeah. These balls are soon gonna have world domination but I must dare say that they are quite cool. At aftercare they converskated it because we were throwing it around. In fact, I think all of the spalding balls were converskated because everyone annoyed the aftercare peeps so yeah … It was funny.
Yeah, you’ve probably guessed. This is the most random post ever … But I’ve put on more random ones!!!

Good Horror Movies I’ve Watched
I love horror movies – the ultimate way to get scared. If you are under 15 ask your parents if you can watch them because some are M and MA. Anyway, here are some good ones:
1. The Shining
About a family, including a psychic boy named Danny going to take care of this hotel during the winter. Strange things are happening there, Danny’s father is going crazy and Danny keeps running into ghosts. Good movie.
2. The Sixth Sense
A boy named Cole, recovering from his parents divorce, Cole has a special Gift. He can see dead people. When a psychologist comes to help him, he gives Cole the best advice ever to help him get over his phobia of ghosts. Only Cole can see those ghosts. The psychologist is actually trying to get over something that happened, there was one boy a lot like Cole who he couldn’t help, he might get over that if he can help Cole? (The boy he couldn’t help committed suicide as you see in the first scene). A shocking ending!!!
3. Fragile a ghost story
Amy is a new night nurse at Mercy Falls Hospital. Replacing another one who unexpectadly left. When Amy meets Maggie, a young girl patient, she often talks about Charlotte, the machanical girl. But who is Charlotte? Is she really just a figment of Maggie’s imagination?
4. The Exorcist
When a 12 year old girl, Regan, starts acting funny, is she really sick? Is there really something medically wrong with her? Or is she possessed?
5. Amityville Horror (the 1979 one)
Based on a true story. Knowing about the murders that occured inside the house, a young family moves in. A newly married couple, along with 3 kids, 2 boys and 1 girl (from the lady’s previous marriage). Strange things start to happen and the youngest daughter starts communicating with her new “friend” called Jody. They soon discover they have to get out after finding what really lies in the house.
6. Rose Red
Yep, another Stephen King. Annie is an autistic telekinetic girl. Telekinesis is when you can move things with your mind. A lady, Joyce, is interested about the history of a “haunted” mansion called Rose Red, which is actually building itself. Joyce wants to “wake” Rose Red up. By calling a team of psychics to wake it up (among them is Annie and her non-psychic sister who is worried about her), they go into the house. But then they get trapped, the house won’t let them go. Will they ever get out?
7. IT
Yes, another Stephen King. Have you ever been scared of clowns?
8. Poltergeist 1, 2 and 3
It all started as a bit of fun. Objects moving by themselves, but then things start to get serious and their youngest daughter, Carol-Anne disappears.
(This movie is known to be cursed or something. Numerous deaths have occured while making this movie including the main character, Carol-Anne (Heather O’rourke) died at age 12 in the middle of filming Poltergeist 3, died of a disease too late to fix. In the first movie, their eldest daughter, Dana (I don’t know the actresses name) well the girl who played her was murdered by her boyfriend shortly after the movie was made. In the second movie they just had to make her go off to college.)
8. Carrie
Do you feel how Carrie feels. Like Annie, Carrie is telekinetic. While being asked out to the prom by her dream guy, Carrie thinks its a dream come true. But then something terrible happens, Carrie seeks revenge which is life-risking. Ever been bullied? So has Carrie. (Unlike Annie, Carrie is NOT autistic)…
9. The Eye
The Eye was originally a Japanese horror film. Well, this lady is blind. She has an operation but gets the eyes of someone else. Someone who is unlike everyone else. Someone who can see things that other people can’t see.
10. The Ring
I have been scared of watching a video and then the phone ringing for days. Well, there is teenage high school joke going around. But it’s not really a joke is it? Well, if you watch this certain video tape, you will get a phone call and die in 7 days. After the death of a girl who watched the tape and died in 7 days, just like that, a lady tries to discover who and why they made this video – until she discovers a woman called Anna who died, who loved horses and thinks the answer might be in that piece of history …
11. Signs
(Starring Abigail Breslin). After finding weird crop circles in the corn fields, they try to investgate who is cutting the corn.

After Anna see’s her mother’s ghost it’s a fight between step daughter and step mother.
14. The Orphanage
It’s actually in Spanish so hard to follow but it’s pretty good. About an orphanage where all these kids die and this lady who actually went to that orphange sees all their ghosts. What do they want?
15. Orphan
A great psychological thriller. After adopting a 9 year old girl called Esther, after the death of their own child, Esther starts behaving weirdly. But what really is making Esther feel this way? Why does the orphanage have no track of her being there? A new movie that came out in 2009.
16. The Woods
Heather could never fit in. Heather is a teenage girl who is sent to a boarding school in England. It’s a pretty strange school. But what’s this school’s history? When Heather learns she has a gift and is very powerful, a lot of things start to unravel. Can she defeat the teachers?
