3: To My Dear Perthlings.

Harrow! This is a quick little notice from my very tidy bedroom to the Perth people I am leaving behind and a few important things that would be worth knowing. I leave for the plane at about ten o'clock, but I have to pack my laptop relatively soon so I thought I'd better just leave one last shout out before I go travel around the universe as much as is humanely possible without a spacesuit.
This is the last post from Perth, I've done with the packing. The only thing is this simply enormous laptop that can only fit in the bag with much encouragement/brute force. Some bloke in a Tarago is coming to take us to the airport. He's a friend of a friend of Dad's who does taxi-stuff for families. Mum said, "He's one of Ted's associates" and I said, "I didn't know Ted was a part of the mafia."
Apparently mafia jokes aren't as funny as they used to be...?
So, just a few notes. Don't try to call me when I'm away, I've turned voice mail off because when you people leave voice mails it charges to my phone and it's something like 55c a minute from here to there, so don't call because I've disabled it all and you will just sit there like a bemused caterpillar, wondering why the phone has been ringing for ten minutes.
If you really want to contact me, leave comments on the blog, send me an email or send me a Facebook message. I won't be on Facebook too much because I'll be pretty busy but I'll check my messages and answer any questions on here in a collective sort of manner.
Text messages to Canada cost about 30c each so don't waste your money like that. It's highly unlikely I'll text back anyway... sorry.
Band peoples, if you have an idea for musical shenanigans send it to me and I'll do the same for you. You can't get rid of me, even when I'm 10000 km away. I am a ghost!
If the teachers ask where I am, tell them I'm aboard the Death Star. Either that or tell them I'm taking over the world using my Jedi Powers. Just make it generally star-wars related. Keep them on their toes, says I.
There's not much else to say, except that I'm leaving for San Fransisco via Sydney in two hours, so you guys have an awesome last week of school (if at all possible) and an even more aweomse (awesomer? gahh..) holidays.
I'm going to pretend I'm not going to miss you all like crazy.
Thanks for the notebook, Sammie, it will definitely come in handy :) Can you also email me any chemistry and maths homework we get? They're the only two textbooks I'm taking. Politics can be studied from a distance, and Literature can be read on planes.
Thanks for being such awesome Perthlings and I'll see you on my return.
I bid thee farewell.
Next stop, Sydney.
Two hours to go.
