I've got to write this all down before I forget it one day.
I remember the funny octagonal plaster barriers outside the windows on our flats in Saudi. I remember how to sand swept up in piles away a sandstorm. I remember the chairs. I remember Robert Love going through one of the windows coming down the marble stairs on rollerskates. I remember asking how to say 'I don't know' so I could make a joke out of it. I remember the big pile of sand that we played on. I remember the big umbrellas that we used to play under! I remember the game that Kelly made up... something about tigers and sitting on a little stump. I remember mars bar icecreams. I remember Dad playing squash and mum getting tennis lesson from an asian guy. I remember Mrs English always tanning, and Nicola only being allowed a certain amount of water inher bath. I remember the dare game we played in fm1. I remember being more hyper and laughing the most I have in my life in fm1. I remember Anna and her make out competitions. I remember singing 'Love is in the air' when Stacey and Billy were talking, and Anna and Danielle asking who the bitches were that made Stacey cry. I remember going out with Richard Smart just because Olivia was going out with Tim Dunn. I remember drawing on my leg whoever I loved at the time. I remember Brad Anderson calling my during my birthday party just to tell me that The Fifth Element was on because he knew it was my favourite movie. I remember having hour long conversations with him and him playing some snowboarding PS game that had a move called 'stiffie' in it. I remember crying when I found out I wasn't a Deputy/Head Girl. I remember Cam Lamb thinking I was 6months later. I remember Matt Taylor dying and being comforted by Joe, and Stef and Jessie laughing at him stroking my hair. I remember Kelly in the art building at school. I remember making Valentine cards for everyone in my art class in fm3. I remember being told 'I love you' in a subliminal message. I remember having a song written for me by Nick Freeman, and James Milburn writing music for me, and Matt Stone writing a 'Get better soon' song for me. I remember me and Joe deciding we were going out silently accross all our friends arguing about who should ask who out. I remember slipping over in the mud near the weights room and getting it all over my skirt. I remember going out with Jesse and him claiming my hair as a heater and Craig trying to piss him off my commenting on how smooth my legs were. I remember telling Craig that I used a Schick razor. I remember James Anderson striking down a seagull with a stone. I remember Mr McGee and not learing any music but playing lots of musical gladitors. I remember all the rumours about him. I remember the mural on the side on the music building. I remember Miss Swears and her awful short blue dress and her maori classes. I remember me and Olivia being told off because we were doing hawaiin hand movements to a maori song. I remember being in the maori culture club and starting the songs. I remember thinking that me and Olivia, Stacey and Sara were the perfect combo because I was english, Stacey was asian, Liv was maori and Sara was just a normal kiwi. I remember Sara and her over protective mother and getting ready at her house before the disco. I remember her brother Josh having a crush on Olivia. I remember Ryan Fitzgerald asking me out, and his 5yr nephew saying I was the prettiest in his class I remember his maori mother. I remember how Aaron's dad was a preacher but had an affair with an asian lady. I remember the other Aaron and how he had green teeth. I remember doing the fainting game at the end of fm1 and apparently making Jesse Wood pass out. I remember Jesse going out with Rochelle and all the stuff they did that just wasn't done at our age. I remember Miss Swears telling me that she had seated me next to Rochelle to be a good influence on her, not to be friends with her. I remember how Shannon and Rochelle and Kim were best friends and how fucked up they all were. I remember being down at the beach on the last day of fm1 with Rochelle and Shannon and having a rock fight with Pita and Zach who were in my Mum's class and Rochelle getting hit in the face and bleeding everywhere. I remember Gemma Barr always acting like she and Liv were best friends in fm1 even though they hardly knew each other. I remember being so jealous of all the Mairangi Bay kids because they were so tight. I remember being so famous because I was Mr Marsden's daughter. I remember scabbing money and having a feast of 2 packs of chips, a cookie and a can of drink. I remember making daisy chains down on the field. I remember having seances next to the generator and it turning on one day. I remember rolling down the hill and getting rashes everywhere. I remember the sleep over at Natalee Lamb's when we called Cole and her sister told his dad that he had a sexy voice. I remember eating more icecream and lollies at that party than I ever had before. I remember going to see Austin Powers 3 while I was going out with Milburn and everyone asking me if he cared about all the mole jokes. I remember finally kissing him and it being awful. I remember being called 'Cheese' by Jesse, and I remember the email I totally misinterpreted and shot him down with. I remember Regan loving Stef. I remember Stef being such a flirt and then such a skank. I remember the tattoo war she and Sophie had. I remember going onto the asphalt in Jeddah where all the boys were playing soccer and just booting it in the other direction if it ever came to me. I remember playing kiss-catch and catching boys and making Kate kiss them for me. I remember getting splinters from the donkey and wagon. I remember the only black mark I ever got was when me, Kate and Katie had been let outside to play with the water and sand for good behavior and Katie had convinced us it was a good idea to climb up the angled roof of the play hut and slide down. I remember resting my head on Malcolm's shoulder and him telling Kareem to 'watch his girl' when he left the room. I remember being jealous of him and Julie. I remember Jessica and Matt Brown getting together just because both their best friends had got together and they were both slightly geeky. I remember everyone being in a couple and me liking Kieran. I remember loving my black polka dress I got made for our going away disco. I remember being so sad because the person who made the cake had left my name off and gotten the other 3 on. I remember my awesome loose blue pants. I remember having an argument with Kel about whether it was better to wear loose clothes or shorter tight clothes and being so gutted when I was wrong. I remember going shopping with my Dad on Xmas eve in the mall. I remember the extreme OTT dresses for little girls. I remember meeting Moira and her hiding behind her Dad in the pool. I remember swimming with Ester. I remember the weekend I spent with the weird girl because I was too ashamed to tell my Mum that I wasn't having a good time, and I remember having a bath wih bouncy balls. I remember always wanting to be in the swim team and Kel getting asked instead and her not even wanting to. I remember being so disappointed when I thought Angus had more lines than me in James and The Giant Peach, even though I had the 3rd biggest part. I remember Mr Love (the new one) betting us all that we could guess the second letter in Czechoslakia. He was right. I remember him telling us about the Jews and concentration camps and I specifically remember him telling us about human skin lamp shades. I remember climbing a tree in Greece and that's about all I remember of Greece except the boxing day HHH run we did when I dressed up as a square dancer. I remember being so disappointed when I found out we weren't going to Annalise's island because Mum and Dad had had a fight. I remember being ashamed of our barbie house when we had everyone over for parties. I remember Malcolm telling us at his birthday party that he had a little plastic dome in his room that only boys could go in and that if girls went in they would get melted alive. I remember Angues being so proud of his motorbikes. I remember when Kate and Julie became best friends and it sucked.
That's enough for now.
