Looking Back on 2011 (which was too long ago to remember ;)

{Stolen from numerous blogs...}

The Best Book I Read:

Would have to have been the Harry Potter series... one out of the seven, I'd say no.3 - Prisoner of Azkaban.

The Worst Book I Read:

There were a lot! It comes with going to Uni ;] The ultimate worse though, Truman Capote's 'In Cold Blood'

The Best Movie I Saw:

Ooh, that's hard. The ultimate one I saw at the cinema was the final Harry Potter, but apart from the cinema - The Hurt Locker totally gripped me.

The Worst Movie I Saw:

Mum brought to light a few from the 80s that she liked, and most of them I really didn't like. The one that has stuck in my mind the most vividly (probably because I watched it right through) was 'Terms of Endearment'.

My Favourite Holiday:

BRISBANE!!!

My Favourite Photo:

Er - just one, you say? Otay... cut a deal, make it two.

Two of my favorite people (and Bek...)

^ Madeleine and me during her stay in July ^

^ (Bek), Alice and me when Alice visited in July ^

My Favourite Moment:

Of 2011. I dunno, there weren't many. In fact there were so few that I don't think there were ANY. All of Brisbane was amazing.

My Best Food Experience:

Wow, seriously? I don't think I keep track of that sorta thing. Scoopy's in Bribie is pretty cool.

My Favourite New Thing:

My widdle iPad... he's so cute! (and pink, but oh well...)

My Blog Post With The Most Comments:

That would be: http://rachaelsnotes.blogspot.com/2011/07/jesss-21st-party.html

Favourite Blog Post By Another Blog Author:

Alice amazes me with each new post, so I'll just say her entire blog as opposed to a blog post =D

Favourite Song or Album:

I listen to a lot of music and a whole variety of genres (listing one song is out of the question - that's torture!) and even though I go through a lot of bands I think Anberlin 'Dark is the Way, Light is a Place' tops my ultimate.

Achievements You Have in Mind for 2012:

Not failing anything in my next semester of uni (what are the odds that that will happen?); catching up on the 10 week break I had from work (I forgot almost everything when I temporarily left due to the dislocated knee, and I've still not caught up).

~ And that is that =)

Today we got home from our family holiday at Maloney's Beach (awesome place) and tomorrow Jamie, Jord, Bek and myself leave for 10 days in Brisbane (more Bribie area and Tintenbar) so adios!

::We had ourselves an Axelby Christmas::

^Spruced up and ready for presents^

It was a nerf gun Christmas. Doesn't get more exciting! You wouldn't believe the amount of wars we've had *kiss*

The food took longer to cook than we had anticipated. What can I say, he got desperate ^

Jess, me and Bek. I do this every year =P

Karli and me ^

And to finish off, my favorite photo of me and my big brother =}

Jess's 21st Party...

Okay, I have here a few photos of Jess's party for those who aren't on Facebook =)

Birthday gal with some of her friends =)

Listening to speeches.

The cake!

Dancing!

2010 - 2011

I haven't updated for a long while for many reasons. The first being, we went to Tasmania for two weeks over Christmas; the next reason, we spent the next four days chilling (in hot weather) with mum's parents who house sat while were away; yet another reason, we got a Wii for Christmas (from mum's parents =) which we've been totally absorbed in; and also we (Jord up) got the book box set of Harry Potter, which has totally taken up our time; yesterday a few of us went to see the new Narnia; and in a few days Jem and I are going to Brisbane for two weeks, which we've been excitedly planning for.

So, after a busy 2010, 2011 was going to be relaxed and easy going ... but already January is booked out!
