Crackers (as in cheese n' crackers!)

Cheesy Chicken Nuggets

A white rat called 'Mr Cheddar'

The skate ramp, the library (it's great for visiting My Space!) and the local park - great for playing footie with my mates.

Greasy junk food.

Yellow

Listening to music, skateboarding.

"Say Cheese!" (It makes people smile - literally!)

My skateboard, my iPod - and cheese!

The 'Party Punks'

I forgot my sports uniform one day and had to wear the school's smelly old spare one! Seriously, some of the stains were unidentifiable. Feral! Never again!

Big 'S', YGirl and Glam - and my big brother Duncan.

I was trying to teach myself how to do a 360. It took a lot of guts the first time. Anyway I psyched myself up and went for it. It was awesome. I flew mega metres into the air, threw myself into a 360 and landed perfectly. Everyone was there to witness it too. I felt like a million dollars! I was getting high fives from everyone. I was on top of the world. But then as I was leaving I went to do a simple jump and totally stacked it. After nailing such a hard trick it was so funny to wipe out on a simple jump. Everyone was cacking themselves, and I just had to laugh too.

Glam (everyone says I'm always trying to look glamorous!)

Strawberry Shake-a-Shake

I have a stuffed monkey, does that count?

Shopping Centres - clothes are totally cool!

The colour grey.

White, pink, purple and teal.

I like trying on clothes, and I also like to dance.

"It's all about me!"

Lip gloss, my mirror, shoes, milk, my clothes, shopping centres, sale days, movies.

The Shake Sisters

I think it was round last week or something. I organised my outfit, got dressed and put lip gloss on. I was having breakfast when my little sister spilt milk on me. I was like 'whatever' - luckily I have heaps of majorly trendy outfits, so naturally had to change. Anyway, it wasn't until I was out and checking myself out in a shop window that I saw what looked like a vegemite hand print on back of my white dress. My little sister must have put it there when she gave me a hug to say sorry for the 'spilt milk' incident! I would rather have been wearing one of those ghastly green garbage bags! It was really embarrassing.

Items on sale! Y Girl, Crackers and Big 'S'.

It was about a year ago, Yolanda and I were at the shopping centre (as usual). I was trying on some of the coolest clothes I'd seen in ages and Yolanda was just waiting for me (also as usual). All of a sudden someone yelled out "Fire! Fire!" I put my clothes back on in record time. I bolted out of that change room straight into the path of Big 'S' and Crackers who had spotted Yolanda and had stopped for a chat. To my absolute horror Yolanda told me that my top and jeans were both on inside out! I wanted the floor to open up and swallow me!!! (And you guessed it - no fire! Very suspicious!)

Y Girl! (I guess it's because I am always asking questions, and my name also begins with the letter Y)

Yogurt Crumble

Yarra is my dwarf rabbit. She's ash grey and totally adorable.

The netball courts, friends' houses, my room.

The colour yellow (even though it is Charlie's favourite) - oh, and people who yell a lot.

You just need to take one look at me to know it's pink, pink, pink!

Yep, that'd be playing sport - netball, tennis, hockey, swimming - I like them all really. Oh and I love chatting and texting on my mobile too.

"Yippee!"

My mobile phone, my yoyo, and yogurt!

Yeah, I like so many. Um, I like' The Yetis', 'Why, Why, Y'? and 'Yakety Yak'.

Yesterday was the netball grand final down at the Y, and we were in overtime. It was up to me to score the last goal, but I tripped on my shoelace and missed (badly). Not only that, but I grazed my nose as I skidded along the floor, flat-on-my-face! It was sooooo embarrassing.

All my team mates as well as Crackers and Big 'S'. Oh yeah, and Glam. (Don't tell that I nearly forgot her!)

One time I forgot to wear odd socks on Odd Socks Day at school! I mean, why do we have 'Odd Socks' day, anyway? I asked lots of people but no one could really give me a good answer.

"It's just a tradition," said my teacher.

"I don't think anyone really knows," said another teacher. "It's just for fun!"

Well, I wasn't having much fun. I was the only one in the class who wasn't wearing odd socks and that made me feel like the 'ODD' one out.

I tried to do a deal with Crackers to 'swap a sock' but he wasn't going to be in it.

Then I got an idea that so totally worked! I sliced a strawberry in half and glued a piece on each side of one sock! It looked awesome!

The problem came at lunch time when an army of ants suddenly showed lots of interest in my sock. Let's just say that the dance I had to do to get rid of the ants was not the most dignified I've ever done. Why do these things always seem to happen to me???

Big 'S' (everyone says I am always smiling)

Creamy Tuna and Spinach Pasta

I have a totally awesome spider collection. It freaks Glam out, which is a bonus!

I also have a dog called Milky, 'cos he

is white. (He already had the name when we got him and Mum thought a name-change would be too stressful for him.) I call him plain 'M' and he doesn't seem to get stressed about it!

The park (I love playing footy), the beach, anywhere outside.

Waiting for ages for friends to get ready so we can go out to the movies or something - (not mentioning any names - Glam!)

Blue - (no particular reason)

Playing footy, riding my bike, skating, watching sport on TV

"Say it again Sam!" Oh, and "Smooth as!" and also "Sam says". (I suppose it's because I like to talk a lot!)

My football, my TV, DVDs

'The Smoothers'.

I am pretty smooth, I don't ever embarrass myself!

My dog 'M', Y Girl, Crackers and Glam.

Can you keep a secret? I kinda think Yolanda is cool! (I don't think she knows.) Anyway, Crackers and I were down the skating rink the other afternoon when who should walk in (with Missy) but cool Yolanda. Missy didn't skate, she sat and watched, so at first, Yolanda sat with her.

I thought, here is my 'one-and-only' opportunity to show Yolanda what an ace skater I am. (I am an ace skater you know) I sped (and I mean really sped!) down the centre of the rink when this little kid came out of nowhere. I hit the deck to miss him and I had so much momentum up that I collected 10 other skaters on my way into the wall. It was a mess! I think Yolanda is too polite to say anything (although I am convinced I saw her snigger) but I will see Missy tonight so I am ready for the worst!
