One bowl of rice each day with no soya sauce to go with it........
Don't ask about the title. Just something my Mum said. She's talking with the painter now. We're getting our house renovated and we're moving to Takapuna (which is about half and hour from where we live now) It's logical really, Mum works there and next yeari'm going to school there. Mum's a Sales Consultant for the North Shore Times, which is a pretty successful newspaper and next year I'm going to Westlake Girls High School.I'm kinda bored at the moment, I'm trying to think of what to write and there's so much I want to write that I don't know where to start. Well....You know a bit about my Mum so I'll tell you about Dad. Dad isn't really my real Dad but I didn't know that untill I was 10. I still love him as much as I always have but sometimes I really want to find my real Dad. I really miss Dad, He lives in Australia. We all used to live in this house in New Zealand but then Dad got a job in Sydney so we moved to Australia. Mum broke up with Dad about six months ago and we moved back here. Most people think kids are all sad about parents breaking up up but seriously, this sounds weird but I don't really give a shit! I mean, I never liked living in Australia so I'm happy, I visit Dad every holidays and I'm back with all my old friends, so what is there to complain about? I've always been really good at school, I have all sorts of awards and stuff and my grades haven't dropped, so I don't know why everyone is treating mr like an innocent victim!My dad's got a girlfriend and I'm fine with that, I like her and Dad seems really happy.Mum's coping a bit worse off, I think she's taking drugs.The guy who lives downstairs from us (we rent out our basement)does drugs and mum is always going down there and staying for ages.
I can't be bothered writing now but I'll tell you the rest of the story later.
Just Plain Me

Hello There
Well hello there reader. Welcome to my web diary. I suppose I should tell you about myself. My name's Raquel and I'm 13.I have always wanted to be a writer and I started this diary so that i gush random ramblings at will.I've been writing since....well as long as I can remember. My mum's still got this book that I wrote when I was four. I seriously don't remember writing it but I have to say, it was a pretty good attempt for a four year old. In this web diary, i will write about...well anything! Life, school, friends, writing (I really can get into a heated argument over books....really I can),Being a teenager, living in New Zealand, Parents divorcing, my wishes and dreams, magic, boys (even though they're not really up there in my list of important things....I don't really have a physical list, just a mental one), My annoying Mum, My friend, though even though she is my best friend she annoys the shit out of me,and much more.You will have to endure through my horrid spelling mistakes (I am a writer and I can't spell...Jeeze)and my annoying personalities. Speaking of personalities, I have quite a few, so I may as well get you aquainted with them. There's "Just Plain Me" which is a personality which speaks for itself. There's "Miss Preposterously Poumous" I can be very poumous sometimes and it's amazing what sort of dribble pops into my head.Next is "Up Herself" which is me when I am feeling particulary arrogant and ego-centric.so now that you know about my personalities, I may as well tell you my thoughts at this moment.
