My Online Diary
April 18th 1998
Well my homepage is done, I think it's pretty kewl for my first attempt. Anyways...Last night I went out with Nat, Lisa and Shannon, we had a pretty rad time, there were these guys there who were really into punk like us (one had a NOFX shirt on and boardies, the other one had a Pennywise shirt - I LOVE PENNYWISE!). The one with the Pennywise shirt had bleached blond spikes! I was DROOLING. I think they came over coz I started singing 'Society'... I'll have to try that more often!!! :o) I'm really stoked today because they told us that Blink might be coming back! This time I am DEFINATELY getting the drummers autograph (and hopefully the singer...what a BABE)! Okay, I have to go now, but I'll write again soon!! Bye...
April 19th 1998
Hello again, I wonder if anybody actually reads this…? Well, anyway I just had to write cos I have something EXCITING to tell you all. It really is exciting. I was on the bus today, wearing my new skirt that I love cos it’s pretty short but not TOO short, anyway I was just sitting there listening to DAMMIT on my walkman (it’s by Blink-182) and guess who got on the bus? PENNYWISE GUY! He wasn’t wearing a Pennywise shirt, but he was wearing a Vandals one. Apparently the Vandals are pretty popular so I guess I’ll have to buy one of their CD’s, it might be good I suppose. Anyway, I shared my walkman with him and we talked about the upcoming Blink show…I so can’t wait! Blink are like so awesome, and I am making it my mission to get BACKSTAGE and get ALL of their autographs cos they’re ALL babes, really. I’m already trying to work out what to wear. My new skirt, definitely, but should I go for my new Converse All Stars or my Doc Boots? Should I wear stockings or not? But I know for a fact that I will wear my new mascara because it’s waterproof! It won’t come off in the mosh! I was sooo pissed off when that happened at silverchair. And I’m definitely going to dye my hair with FUDGE. I just have to decide on a top to wear. Should I go for like a tight singlet top, maybe? Well bye till next time!
PS-I am so like stoked about this Blink tour!
April 21st 1998
Holidays are over and I'm back at school. It was kewl seeing all my friends again. I bought some khakis yesterday! I got them from Surf, Dive 'n' Ski (which is like my all time favourite shop), they are Billabong ones. I am fully counting down the days until Blink!! Everyone is! Except all those losers that listen to techno, I can't believe that they actually like that music (if you can call it that), punk is like sooo much better. I bought a Vandals cd too! It's so good that HMV have an alternative section now, it makes kewl cd's sooo much easier to find. Anyway, the cd is okay, I prefer Blink, but at least it will give me and Pennywise guy something to talk about next time. I wish I knew the name of that Pennywise guy, I think he looks like a 'Mark', cos he reminds me of Mark from Blink-182. Oh, Mark is the singer by the way...you guys must think I am SUCH a punk-freak knowing so much about Blink-182! Oh well, maybe I am! Later sk8rs!! XXX
April 22nd 1998
Hi peoples! Today was like so awesome! I mean fully. Okay, well for the first thing I was on the way to school and I got to listen to FIVE Blink songs on my walkman, they are my Blink-182 favourites! They were: Dammit, M&M’s, Josie, Wasting Time, and Apple Shampoo. I know like so much about Blink, don’t I! But oh well. I just loooove them, I guess. Anyway then at school we got to listen to BLINK-182 on the radio because they were on Triple J which is my most favourite radio station, JJJ rocks! If you live in Australia and you’re alternative, listen to JJJ! So anyway, I was stoked!!! I love it when JJJ play Blink. Especially ‘Dammit’, and now they’re starting to play ‘Josie’ lots too! Yay. Plus, this afternoon I bought Frenzal Rhomb’s debut album, "Meet The Family"! It’s awesome, especially for a first attempt and stuff. They’re all sooooo hot! I think I love them almost as much as Blink. Well, maybe not, but possibly! Gotta go! HOME AND AWAY is on! so, see ya and don’t forget to email me if you want!!!
May 5th 1998
Hi everyone, sorry I haven't written in awhile but I've been heaps busy with school and stuff. Blink is in 20 days. I am getting sooo excited. It's going to be sooo kewl because nearly everyone from school is going. Me and my friends have all decided to wear ties! How kewl is that?!?! There is one thing that has got me majorly bummed though...Nat isn't in Frenzal anymore. He joined this band called Quadbox because they needed a bass player. At least Frenzal still have their drummer Lindsay. Shit, I know almost as much about Frenzal as I do about Blink. I haven't seen Pennywise guy lately. I haven't been able to talk to him about the Vandals yet. Ahh! They are playing Josie (Blink-182's latest single) on JJJ! It is so good that they are finally getting a bit of airplay, they really deserve it. Lucky it's JJJ and not some commercial Top-40 station. Anyway guys, sorry to luv ya and leave ya but I've gotta go check out the Blink guestbook, I haven't been there for AGES! See ya...
July 14th 1998
Well once again it's been AGES and I'm very very sad to see that nobody has emailed me yet! WRITE TO ME PEOPLE! Just because I'm into punk, doesn't mean you can't talk to me if you're not punk you know! I like all kinds of people! Well, anyway. I'm sooo happy to hear Blink on the radio all the time, and, guess what! yesterday I was in the car listening to Triple J and they played 'Mum Changed The Locks' by Frenzal Rhomb! Frenzal Rhomb is from Sydney Australia if you don't know and they have lots of cool songs like 'Mum Changed The Locks', 'There's Your Dad', and 'Ship Of Beers'. What annoys me though, is that all these teenys seem to be getting into them now when people like me have liked them ever since a month or two after "Meet The Family" was released, I mean come on just go get a life you know?
Well, I'm sorry if this is all a bit intimidating, I just want to share my knowledge of punk rock with everyone, you know what I mean? Feel free to email if you have any questions, like, did you know that Blink have a picture of a cat on their first album? I bet you didn't! Okay bye for now! lots of hugs and kisses!
July 18th 1998
Hey ppl! I'm soooooo tired! I went to this SICK party last night...there were sooo many people there and they were playing BLINK-182! I was so stoked because I wore my Blink-182 t-shirt (the blue one with the butterfly on the front). There was another girl there with a Blink-182 shirt on but she wasn't wearing Doc Martins or Converse All Stars so she obviously wasn't kewl. I sound like such a bitch but I really get annoyed when people think they are punk because they have a Blink-182 shirt on when they don't even have punk shoes! It's like hello! Anyway, back to the party, I was with this really HOT guy. He was a surfie with long blonde hair and the BEST BODY! It was really kewl cos everyone from school saw me with him!!! My friends were sooo jealous, I could fully tell. Anyway, I've gotta go now! See yas later. Don't forget to sign the guestbook!
July 26th 1998
Hello everyone! Now, before I start writing stuff, I gotta say that I'm gettin a little pissed off with all these try hard punk people in the guestbook! I mean, like, this Sian chick I thought was pretty kewl until she started whining about me, Sian if you're reading this, I KNOW YOU'RE JEALOUS OF ME. You don't have to hide it. I don't mind being friends with you, though, so you can email me if you wanna apologise. Just coz you don't know as much about punk as I do, doesn't mean you need to get all upset, k? I am not a "fucking teenybopper", like, really! I can't believe you would SAY something like that! But, because I'm basically a nice person, I'm gonna leave the link to your page up here till you come to your senses. The only people who are kewl in my guestbook seem to be Belinda and Amy. Thanks for the hint about Lindsay (he's in Frenzal Rhomb people) Belinda! I didn't know he sang on Not So Tough Now! But now you've told me, I can like fully pick out his voice. Oh by the way, someone gave me a tape of their newest EP Dick Sandwich and I can hear Lindsay singing on that one, too! So thanx for the tip! Anyway, the other night I had the best time. Me and some friends went into the city and went shopping! It was sooooo great coz we went to the music shop and I bought a NEW CD. That's right, a new one! If I only ever talk about music, well, that's coz Music is like my life. Specially punk. Punk IS my life! Anyway, the CD I got, is this compilation on a label called Fat Wreck Chords. It's the singer from Lagwagon's label I think. Sorry, am I sounding like a know it all again? Anyhow, then we were walking around and I see this guy on his way to an overage show (I think it was H-Block playing) who was obviously a total dickhead cos he was wearing a leather jacket with studs and had spikey hair. He was obviously a poser because he didn't even have skate shoes on!! How embarrassing for him! I was gonna go point it out to him, but, then I saw the BEST body glitter in a window nearby so obviously I had to go get that instead. It looks so kewl coz I put it on my face and wear my Blink butterfly shirt and converse shoes and then everyone knows I must be a punk. Well listen peoples I kinda feel dumb about writing at the moment because some of you are acting a little bit angry in the guestbook so that'll be all for now! Have a really kewl day!
August 1st 1998
Hey everyone! It's Saturday night and I'm sitting AT HOME! I'm like SO BUMMED. At least I've got my Blink cd's (yep, I have more than one Sian) to keep my company. I went out last night with some friends to this under eighteens club, it was really kewl. They play alternative music like Matchbox 20 and Jebediah so we were all like fully moshing. I wore my docs (because converse look really shit with skirts) with my new laces. They are sooo kewl (the laces), they've got glitter through them and make my docs more noticable. Anyway, I like COVERED myself in the body glitter I bought the other day, it looked really rad because of the lighting they have in the club. There was this one guy there who kept crowdsurfing and stuff, he had spiked hair and docs and was fully punk and GET THIS...as we were leaving HE ASKED FOR MY NUMBER!!! So fuck all you tryhards in the guestbook, I MUST be punk because otherwise that guy wouldn't like me! I was listening to JJJ today and they played "Anarchy in the UK" by the Sex Pistols. That is like the coolest song. Those guys are soooo scary looking! I hope nobody thinks I'm THAT sort of punk.
August 13th '98
Well hey everyone! I see there has been a request for another diary entry! Yay, you all (well most) make me feel like so wanted and stuff. So anyway the
punk guy who was crowdsurfing and stuff to Jebediah (don't you all just LUV that 'leaving home' song?) RANG ME! Me and him are gonna go out to a show one night! Apparently Nancy Vandal are gonna be here soon and I like love Nancy Vandal, they're a new band whose first ever song (Rock & Roll Concert) gets played on Triple J - THE best station - all the time. Fantastic. So anyway, we talked for like ages while we tried to decide what we're gonna wear... he is going to wear his Docs and so am I! We're gonna have so much fun! I finally found someone who is as punk as I am. What else new has been happening...ummmm...I bought some FUDGE to dye my hair with! I bought it IN ADVANCE for the Warped Tour (imagine going to Warped with normal hair! How embarrassed would you be!). Oh and I got a girly Pennywise shirt that's pretty kewl. I'm listening to my favourite CD in the WORLD at the moment...called Dude Ranch...it rocks totally! Well I have to go now but email me if you want or sign the guestbook! Bye Bye, love Punk Girl.
August 17th '98
Hello again, I've had a really shitty day. I had a test this morning and I think I did really bad because I was like soooo tired from being out all weekend. My friends are like really starting to annoy me, they are nice and all but they listen to techno and stuff and as if I want people thinking that I'M like that too! I wish there were more people like me out there, sometimes I feel really different and like I don't fit in. I guess a lot of punks feel like that sometimes. I can't wait to see Nancy Vandal with Josh (the punk guy), I hope people from school see us together, that would be so kewl! I've decided to wear my Converse All Stars instead of my Docs because I don't want to get the glitter shoelaces that I put in my Docs dirty, they are better to wear at night anyway. I'd better ring him tonight and tell him incase he wants to wear his Converse too (yep! We BOTH have Converse and Docs!). I heard this song on the radio today called "A Punk Named Josh", I was like OH-MY-GOD because of the punk Josh that likes me! Have any of you heard it? It's fully kewl! I don't quite get what's been going on in the guestbook lately...with everyone saying some shit about this being a joke...I figure it's just that Junkyard person pretending to be different people again. Anyway...see yas later!
August 20th 1998
Hey everyone! How’s it going? Well I just read the guestbook and I’m, like, fully confused. Why would this page be a joke page? And why are people abusing me? I AM NOT A TEENY YOU KNOW! I know what teenys are like though, they’re heaps annoying hey, I mean get this: This girl in my class THINKS she likes Blink but she doesn’t even have the Dammit single AND didn’t know what the drummer’s name is! What an idiot! Hey as for that entry about Frenzal Rhomb’s first album, I think I’d know, I love the band more than you obviously do and their guitarist is yummy. Oh and to that person who said I just wanna suck the guy from Green Day’s dick, you are like so wrong! HELLO! I don’t even like Green Day that much any more, they are like way too mainstream. Listen to Blink 182 if you wanna hear some real punk, k? Well, I’m sick of retaliating to all you dickheads in the guestbook and I’m going back to talking about stuff I want to write in my diary, so if that bores you, then stop reading! Yesterday I had the bestest day. Josh rang up and we talked for ages. He and I are gonna fudge each others hair for Warped when it’s time! (oh, hey, look: WE ARE PUNK, after all! So take that, abusers!). On the weekend he is going to come over and we are going to listen to my Fat Wreck Chords CD. I have memorised the names of all the bands on it, too! Oh and also, I emailed Mark from Blink to see if it was really him who signed the guestbook that time. So, what else has been happening? Well not a lot, school and stuff, but I can’t wait to see Nancy Vandal with Josh. I wonder if they will sign my shoes, that would be fully kewl. Okay I better go now, see ya’s!
September 14th 1998
Hey guys! I haven't written in this for like ages. Sorry 'bout that! Anyways, I s'pose I should tell you all that me and Josh are like fully going out now. He's thinking about maybe getting a MOHAWK for Warped!! He's still going to dye it with Fudge too so he's going to look soooo punk!! I don't know if I want him to do it though. I think I might ask him to just spike his hair because when we go out for coffee or for dinner and stuff (which hopefully we'll start doing now that we're going out) people might look at us weird. I don't know how to tell him that I don't think he should get it done. If anyone has any suggestions please write and tell me!! I remember in Dolly once there was a letter from a girl asking how to tell her boyfriend that she didn't like the way he dressed. Their advice to her was to talk to him about it and be open and stuff so maybe I'll just try that. But I've heard punk guys are really deep and sensitive and stuff so I don't want to hurt his feelings. Life can just suck sometimes hey. Anyway, sorry this entry is heaps short but I've got heaps of homework to do. I'm so flattered that you guys want me to update this page more, I'll try heaps harder...okay? See yas!
October 8th 1998
Hey fellow punkers! I am soooo stoked, The Vandals are coming. I have heard two of their kewl songs, they are on my fave cd in the world, the Warped Tour compilation. It rocks so much, it even has a Blink song. I still don't know what to do about Josh and his dyed hair. Fully, what am I gonna do? Like I obviously want him to look punk and stuff cos it would be pretty embarrassing to show up at Warped with somebody normal-looking, but what about the rest of the time and what about when he meets my family? I don't want my parents to know I'm a punk! They might be mad and then who will buy me that kewl bag I saw in Surf Dive 'n' Ski?? It's soooo rad. I was going to take it to Livid but I didn't get it in time. Livid was fun, Nancy Vandal played and they are soooo kewl, they are on Triple J lots. My favourite Triple J announcer is Jane Gazzo, I am going to get my hair done like hers for Warped! Forget all my other plans, I want Jane Gazzo hair...yay...I am thinking of trying to do work experience with her cos she is my idol but it is too far to travel. Anyway I haven't read the guestbook for soo long so I'm off to check that, hopefully I won't take this long to write again but me and Josh have been BUSY if you know what I mean! (HE HUGGED ME YESTERDAY!). Bye Bye, luv, Punk Girl!
October 21th 1998
Hi guys, I'm like so depressed. Me and Josh had a fight. I told him that he could get a mohawk but only if he promised to shave the rest off the day after Warped. He said that he wanted to keep it for awhile afterwards in case there were more concerts after Warped and I told him I couldn't hang out with him if he kept it. He totally over reacted and said that I was being a bitch. Like as if I'm a bitch. I'm sure you guys agree with me. My parents would kill me if they knew I was dating a punk! Anyway, I'm sure he'll get over it soon, we look really good together. If he doesn't it's okay because this guy at school told my friend Shannon that he thinks I'm hot! He's a babe too! He's a surfer! My Birthday is coming up soon! I think I'll ask for a new pair of Doc Martens. Maybe green ones. Everyone has Docs now, they all think they are fully punk but I can tell that they're not. Anyway, I've got to go and eat dinner now...sorry it's short, I'll write again soon!
luv Punk Girl
