Juniper's Treehouse

13/4/1989 Tuesday

Dear Diary,

Today I watched the volcano erupt. It was vomiting up chunks of ash and lava, and smoke spewed out like silent, hungry snakes slithering in the cold, dark night. The night's breeze were filled with violent, piercing screams, and it was all blood curdling. The big, silent, hungry, and dormant volcano, had erupted once again. The chilly blasts of wind stabbed my cheeks as I ran, towards the boats. I hopped in one of the life rafts and as quick as lightning bolts raced up towards the sea.

See what happens next in my next diary entry 

Brandie Rocks the roof off! We met in Sydney at the beach last holidays! She is so cool and smart and she just rocks. We are such good pals and we try to write to each other and I call her every week and random days and we email each other. Its such a pain we live so far away from each other. I don't know how long it is from Upwey to Randwick but she lives close to my favourite beach, Coogee! At least I won't be alone when I go to Sydney to visit my grandmother. She is one of the only people I have met which birthdays are a few days apart and born in 1998 and are in fifth grade! Just like me, she loves to read and suggested a really good book to me: The Mystery of the Ruby glasses, and its by Lindsay Cripps. (That wasn't a spelling mistake it was double 'p') She also can ice skate just like me and can surf which I'm going to do soon.  Yeah and she's really cool! :) As well as me, she loves the story Aquamarine, I haven't read the book, but I've seen the flick, its about 2 girls and 1 is moving to Australia and they find a mirmaid and yeah they have to help this mermaid so this guy will like her and everything so the mermaid grants them a wish and yeah. I still can't wait till I go to Sydney again so I can see Brandie again! Because she is the coolest girl you could ever meet!

yep, I still have worries and panic attacks because of the phobia - that day was the worst panic attack of all. So, to sooth me, we went to the beach. "Dad what's that beach called again, the one we went to?" "Mordialloc" "Ok." Mordialloc. It doesn't have waves - its a bay I guess. It wasn't as nice as Sydney but it was cool.The water was glistening in the sun. Here are some pictures of me at the beach and my sand - covered feet along with just a picture of me that looks casual.

Sorry, its ten o'clock so I have to go to bed - I'll put the rest of the pics on tomorrow.

Have you heard about that horrible flu going around? The one I got except its getting worse. I hope my friend, Brandie gets better. Get well soon, Brandie!

Hi Everyone! I had an awesome weekend. I went to a school friend's birthday party (Rollerblading) and it was so fun! I was really good at it because I did Ice skating. 

Oh and here is a poem I found: Homework, oh homework I hate you, you stink! I wish I could wash you away in the sink. I wish I had a bomb, and blow you to bits, homework oh homeowork you're giving me fits! I rather take a bath with a man eating shark, or wrestle and elephant in the dark. 

(And that's all I know)

I really want to go to Sydney! I mean, I've never missed it so much! Plus - I have one of my B.F.F's there - Brandie. I call her almost every night! Next holidays as you may know, I'm doing surfing lessons! 

As you know, my uncle is a movie director and I'm going to be in one of his movies soon. I might be able to invite a person to watch the set being filmed ... If you want to see his achievments look him up on google ... Just type in 'Ryuhei Kitamura' it should say.

Anyway, see ya!

Juni

PS: I'm updating the template soon! 

I've been convinced that I've got a precocious, extraodinary talent to write and spell. I am going to write 2 books. One is called '12:00p.m' and its about a little eleven year old girl that gets bullied at school and one night something is going on outside her bedroom and she can't move a limb, she's like paralyzed and then she falls back to sleep and she wakes up again and there is a little girl sobbing at the end of the bed and the little girl keeps saying "Help me" and disappears into thin air and slowly, the eleven year old turns in to a ghost, but can she turn back? She soon discovers there are worlds unlike her own. My 2nd book is basically about me and my life and how I feel and what's going on. It's virtually an online diary, except it has a few of my REAL diary entries. They will be revealed soon - hopefully. I've been writing stories since I was 6. It started from once upon a time ... to One day then to something like waves of frustration fired through me like gun bullets. It takes a lot of imaginaiton to weave a tale. Stories can't be boring like "Once upon a time there lived a girl, she liked chocolate, the end" It doesn't work. Aren't we all sick of the 'Once upon a times' and 'One day's' by now? I mean, I think us homosapians have much more calculated brains and can think of something interesting that children can't put down - not just children, everyone! Oh, I forgot to mention my other book I'm writing, currently known as 'Space Kitty' Its about this cat who is a little chubby and who was the interest in space, and often takes trips to his owner's classroom to catch a few things. He reads an article in the paper (He can read and write) and he learns there is a free spot for a person willing to go to the moon. Never reluctant, he steps out into the world to see the amazing, exotic, features of the moon. I've shown the prologue to my parents and they think it was very exceptional and wanted to read the whole story. Well anyway, if my novels weave the way through printing and publishing, then a hope you read them!

 "Ahh. 7 or so years ago an angel dog fell to Earth, their owners called her Mojo. 7 years later ... Oh, warm weather is here again! Another few seasons of utter playfulness.

I leap into the humid air as my owners throw the ball which they expect me to catch. I love the sensation of the air going through your fur as you leap into the fresh air. You feel like you can fly and wish to go on forever, but gravity pulls you down. I wonder what it's like to fly. I bet you'd feel free to go anywhere you wish.

I enjoy snuffling through the dirt and weeds, maybe I'll find some good food, but I know better to scavenge - or do I? 

 The little ... ugh, girl, Willow. She's one annoyance. How many times did I have to snarly viciously in order to get her away. Geez, the dog needs some personal space. As for the eldest child - well, she does nothing too bad. But she does smother me in pats and everything, no. I hate pats.

My life focuses on ... food! Yes food! Food, food, oh, glorious food. You see? Food keeps you alive, if you had a day without food you'd suffer till you got some. Me, anyway. I try to behave - most of the time ... No chicken! That's my punishment!

Its so unfair! How come that ... that ... oh dog, Indi just get the same food as me!? How come puppy food is so much scrumptious as the dog biscuits. So, we did a food swap. I eat his food and he eats mine. As for Banjo and Harley ... they are nuisances. Both of them! All they do is scratch, hiss, and bite and chuck up fur balls which make us animals feel ill. That Banjo - what a poop machine! HIS POOP STINKS! What a whiff - spoils my owners insence. However you spell it. (Pronounced: In-sense)

I wish I had X-ray vision, its bad enough seeing in black and white. But my talent in smelling comes in handy at times. When my owners bring back a suspicious package I WISH I could see what is inside. Roast Chicken? Food of any sort?

Anyway, before the world knows I can speak and write - I'd better go. My owners are back! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!"

I'm having a really fun holiday! Yesterday we went to Coogee Beach and it was so windy so the surf was huge! I had so much fun! Because the waves were so big I went to the Coogee Beach pool and whenever a wave came in the pool I dunked myself underneath the wave. To make sure I was in a safe place I got my goggles and looked underwater, except I could only see white wash so I took them off and put them in my beach bag. Then someone stole them, and they were brand new - I only got them the other day. I was sitting on the edge of the pool getting spashed with passing waves and when the waves overlapped the pool I slmost fell off the edge in the baby pool because I was getting pulled backward. Then I did this jump off the edge in the pool and when I came out I got freaked because I saw this seaweed and thought it was a jellyfish. I went back to boogie board in the ocean part and I was only on the shore and when a big wave breaks down I went like sliding over the white wash and once the boogie board capsized on me and all my face and hair had sand in it so we had to rush back to the pool to wash off. When we were about to reach the pool my thongs came off so I dropped my boogie board and just rescued them before they went out to sea. Then I carried them and JUST rescued my boogie board! It was so much fun! This was yesterday - Thursday I think. Last, last time I went to Coogee I met a friend so we're going to be pen pals. I think Sydney is the best place in the whole world!
