We the Peoples.

In dedication to the pretty souls I met during AMUNC2009.

I actually had a post on here but as is usual with everything I write, I hated it as soon as I finished writing it. But hiii, I'm Jackie. I'm an irrelevant Journalism student, desirous of ridding the world of evil through my truthful and hard hitting stories but I am also an idiot, so don't take anything I say seriously.

I like tattoos and books, music, postcards and sunshine. I fucking hate rain and Winter. I despise birds that swoop (magpies, to be speicific) but I love animals in general. Above all that I love humans and I enjoy politics, philosophical chats, travelling, food and my friends.

I just had a killer week at AMUNC which truly is a difficult thing to explain, even to friends and family, but it stands for Asia Pacific Model United Nations Conference so I'll let you try and figure out what it is. I wasn't actually a delegate in it or anything, instead a member of the International Press Gallery for the Australian newspaper, covering the 3rdGA♥. I'm actually completely devastated that this week is over, I met some of the coolest people ever and was able to fully experience the awesome sense of camarederie and spirit that comes with teenagers and young adults coming together because they want to do something more than just exist on their uni holidays. The social events were all filled with booze and dancing and the days were filled with finding solutions to the food crisis and implementing indigenous land rights., plus in our GA a bit of singing, dancing and a hell of a lot of laughing.

The people I met were like a breath of fresh air, all as inspiring and amazing as each other and the impression that this week has left on me is unlikely to shake off anytime soon.

But anyway, I'm going to stop waxing lyrical about my ridiculously awesome week and start getting ready for work. Eurgh, back to the real world, I know, yuck.

Oh and I'll always say what book I'm reading, so at the moment

The Book of Rapture by Nikki Gemmel, its lovely.
Favourite quote so far: (Among many that I've underlined in the book)

"The sun and all light have forever fused themselves into my heart and upon my skin."

Au revoir mischief makers,

love, love and peace,
