Miscellaneous, This is My Life

The mindless comfort grows when I’m alone with my ‘great’ plans.

Wednesday, December 19, 2001 - nadine was talkin’ @ 2:40 PM
Its too hot. Its 35degrees celcius and my pool isnt even clean. I finally cleaned my room :) Its even vacumend. Mum and dad arnt home. They have gone Christmas shopping. My report still hasn’t arrived. It should come within the next couple of days. Im kinda looking forward to finding out what i got. :) We aren’t goingt to see American Pie 2 anymore because the cinema wont let us in because we are only 14 and you needd to be 15. So now we are going to see that Drew Barrymore one, Riding in Cars with Boys. blah. ITS TOO HOT and I AM ALL OUT OF COKE.

I was looking through some of the files I have stored away on CD’s and I came across what I think is one of my earliest weblog entries ever! To put it simple, I was a whiney 14 year old caffeine addicted teenybopper… who had yet to discover Word’s spellchecking capabilities.

Anyway… I’m still slightly flabbergasted by the fact I’ve been posting snippets of my life on the internet for over 6 years! I’ve been flicking through some of my older entries (the ones I no longer actually have on the internet due to them being incredibly embarrassing) and I saw myself grow from the cola fueled teenybopper who couldn’t spell to the slightly saner person I am today.

Hating school, #protag, falling in love, breaking up, moving out, changing friendships, liking school, year 12, falling in love again, Nan & Mitch passing away, getting into uni, moving to Melbourne… It’s all there.

I was thinking of closing nadinerine.com, I’ve been telling myself for the few months that I’ve outgrown this whole blog thing. However, I’ve now realised I can’t. I want to be looking back at the posts I’m writing today in another 6 years. Some people write journals. I write in my blog, and I’ve finally figured out why… I do it for the memories..

I grew up with the internet, it will always be a part of my life. It’s a part of who I am.

You grew up on the internet…

It’s where we met. Ahh… I remember that fateful afternoon.
We started chatting; you intro’d me to Protag, and got me onto IRC. Within 2 hours!

And look where we are now! :D

I have five years of stuff up on markness.net (passed on from I think four different domains), and I deliberately kept almost two years of super embarrasing posts up there just to remind me not to be like that again. That, and it pads out my archive index to be super long!

Tristan: Yes, that’s what she’s implying. I wouldn’t take that if I were you!
