Already Gone

im back.
incase you had wondered where i was/had gone, i went on my familys holiday. every year. leave on boxing day. go to the beach somewhere. was 8 days this time. went to wye river.
there is only one problem with going to the wettest place in victoria... it rains a lot. it was cloudy and rainy most of the time there.
managed to go swimming once. got sunburnt when we went berry picking past lorne.



(fyi: wye river is halfway between lorne and apollo bay on the great ocean road. it used to be, ages ago, a small logging town, with the otway ranges right there. but that was stopped back in the 1910's)


the ocean is a beautiful thing. i love sitting on a rock at the beach and just watching the waves, lost in thought.
i walked along the beach every morning, except the last two due to rain and leaving.
went for lots of walks up the river (really nothing more than a stream). got lost with dad one of the times and stung by stinging nettle, and some blackberries attacked me too. one other time i went by myself and went on a little track, really steep, got a little lost (always go back) almost fell several times, but generally was good.

i got bored and lonely and rather miserable and grumpy. irritating little whiney girl behind us woke up screaming and complaining about 7 each morning (was 5 a couple days). so sleep deprvation didnt help.
i missed my friends. makes me get insecure like that.
wrote 4 letters. used up all my note paper.

new years was depressing. i dislike that time very much. my dad got into a bad mood too. i guess he has a good reason too. depressing and sad time of the year for us.
