hello :) and welcome
Looking to the skies isn't so much about my life as it is about my thoughts, dreams and who I am. It's meant to be a place for me to type out my ideas, flawed and ridiculous as they may be. Discussions are welcome, but everyone's entitled to their own opinion and that includes me :). Just a warning: I can be incredibly longwinded.

Went to see the doctor about the headaches I had the whole day yesterday - like every time I stood up, and there was this funny moment when the nurse commented, "Your daughter's name is almost the same as his (the doctor's) wife's!" and my mum replied, "Yes, because I named her after his wife." And she told the nurses the story behind my name - how the doctor and his family are our neighbours and his wife helped my mum when she was going into labour with me. As a thank-you, I was named after her. I never knew we had the same surname though.
Oh and I also found out something else. My brother and sister have names beginning with J, so I thought I was supposed to be a J before the incident, but my sister said my parents originally meant to name me Samantha. guess it's because I was a sort of an "accident".
I just finished doing some research for the WSS essay and coming up with an outline of my points, and as a change from all the intensity and 'darkness' of WSS, I'm going to post some of my favourite photos, mostly from 2008/9:

UK trip! (nostalgic right?)
took this on the first day of the UK trip. Coincidentally there were two people walking together at the end that gives it that special touch :)
love the golden autumn leaves (yes I do know it wasn't autumn then - but it sounds so much nicer and more appropriate)

as all wonderful things are, this was an accident - he just happened to be doing that when I took the picture :). Oh and this is Tuki. Contrary to your first impression, he's a boy, he's much older than he looks (12 years to be exact) but acts just as young as he looks. He's been with me since I was 5, has a sweet nature and lots of character, and has taught me so much about loving and caring - he's probably the only one I can honestly say I've loved everyday.
Coming up (hopefully!):

Funnily enough, I don't have nice photos of me and my closest friends. The attempt to capture a good shot continues (:
And of course, as we all learn to move on, a good photo of me and friends from 10A16.
