Oh, you've got to be kidding!
"I have decided" articulated my friend Jane as she eyed the menu board up ahead.
"That, exercise is so overrated, and so are new years resolutions; I mean, come on, who do you know has successfully carried one out for more than 2 weeks after New Years day?".

It did leave me thinking, I mean, I haven't ever succeeded in making one go for more than the usual new years resolution duration. Jane made me think for a moment, and usually, I speak before I think, this short comment struck a thought idea through my head, making me ponder the idea of what always seemed so good on the 31st of December and faded by the time you woke up at noon on the 2nd of January .
"I mean, why do so many carry these little dreams or goals out on that particular date, they are practically doomed to fail; I know that's harsh!" Jane paused and leaned took a step forward as our slow line for a quick coffee shuffled on.
I laughed in a practically unusual way that made me look like I was out of a Hollywood movie.
"You have something there though!" I cheerily and inquisitively remarked. "Why can't we just start it this moment, instead of waiting all that time to start something that just about always fails!"
"Yes!" Jane voiced. "Why do they, or we, put our dreams and goals on something so trivial, or brand it as something that everyone else has or does?"
Jane grabbed my arm and pulled my forward as I stopped to pose a thought about why we do, how we do and how it all came about. The lady over the counter greeted us bluntly and we both cheerily answered with our different choices of coffee and chocolate; the poor young girl wasn't haveing a good day, as our ridiculously sarcastic and silly comments couldn't even cheer her young face into a small smile.
"Do you..." I paused and glanced at her name tag "... Anne, have a new years resolution?" I posed the question slightly to my surprise and very much to Jane and Anne's.
"Don't answer if I seem to prying, please!" I smiled at her as I handed her the small bill.
She paused for a moment thinking it was a joke before answering: "Emm, thank you, well, not really, I don't do them, if I want to start something then I do it when I like" she said, glancing up at Jane and I for a second before handing us our change.
"How delightful to have you say that!" I almost squealed.
Jane smiled at Anne and then shook her head. "We had just been discussing how new years resolutions are practically a joke and ready to fail as soon as the thought arrives!"
"I know right!" Anne smiled and Jane winked at me, we had succeeded.
"Thank you Anne! We'll enjoy our coffee a lot better now!" Jane giggled back over her shoulder as we walked ourselves to a small table for two over at the very front of the shop, a good view of the passers by and always making for a great topic of lady like and interesting chit-chat.

Two Random Girls - Round 2
Round 2 of Jane and Grace-
It's 4:00 AM?... Ugh!
I woke up as the alarm went off on my phone, blaring out some hideous ringtone that I had put on it at one point in time. I guess it works because it's that horrible it makes me want to run around outside yelling GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF! ... but maybe that is because my dream life is made up of things wanting to be so dramatic and (dare I say) 'hollywood-ised' or theatrical.
First thing I check is my phone, well, of course, I've just had to stop it from always sounding like a dying goat(that was a horrid description Grace!).
2 New messages - check, it's Jane.. and Telstra.
-Morning Grace! I'm sending this at 1 am as I'm caught up on Pinterest.. again! - I sigh and roll over, covering my head with the pillow for a moment before sitting up to read it better.
-...I'll be in at A'dventure around lunch time as I knock off early today, want a chai? -
The idea of a chai sounded like heaven at this time so I managed to slowly 'swype' a text back (only using my thumb, that's hard!) confirming our meet for around 1.
I flicked through the phone, found the alarm that was set for my brother, switched it off, shouted out until I got a reply and then fell back to sleep, sweet dreamin'!
The next alarm at 7 woke me abruptly.
It wasn't even my alarm, but it woke me up.
Shut that thing off my brain was thinking, but someone else was saying it!
"Taz! C'mon, it's your alarm, can't you shut it off?" I heard Evan yell from the top bunk and he swung his legs over and hopped down. I had thought he was going to work but turns out I was wrong, everyone was home today... oh dear!
The alarm stopped after we managed to get Taz awake and going (well not going, as he never get's going until 3PM). Irene rolled over but kept her head in the phone. I closed my eyes to relax, searching for my ear plugs under my pillow, some peaceful solitude and quiet musi- ...shut up and kiss me, no need to miss me..- Ahhh, start the day with some pick me up rock from Reece Mastin.. and perhaps some One Direction before Macklemore and then perhaps I'll be ready to get up... oh and that meet with Jane... last day of freedom before I have to get stuck into being famous... in my mind.
~
I think I've been waiting at this bus stop for almost an hour, looking at the watch and it's only been 3 minutes, damn, oh well, this is what you get for being a slacker and waiting so long before you get your license. The late morning sun is beautiful, I don't really want to get on the bus as I know at this time it will be rather on the full side and I'll sit next to some old lady who smells like dirty washing water(generally about 10 day old stuff, yes I know what it smells like), Not that old ladies are a paid or anything, but they could be a little more hygienic, surely there is some Chanel No5 floating around in that old dresser..?
The bus is packed, so packed that I have had to revert to standing. I can just feel all the eyes glancing at me, just random little me, standing, bag over shoulder, dressed up more than they could imagine and on a bus, yes I should have my license, I know, but don't stare it's not polite.
Signing off, Grace -
