Happy Fathers Day

Hey Blogging World

May I begin by saying Happy Fathers Day to all the dads out there. I have spoilt mine and I hope everyone else is doing the same. We all love our dads and they deserve this special day to sit back, relax and watch the footy. But isn't that what they do every Sunday?

Day 21: One of your favourite shows. 

This is tricky as I am a bit of a t.v junky. At the moment I am watching Four Weddings Australia and just previously Wife Swap USA was on the wonderful television. I always say that if I were a vegetable I would be a potato because I love my couch. I love the shows Revenge, Twisted, Winners and Losers etc. but one of my all time favourites would have to be...

Gilmore Girls. The show follows the lives of Lorelai Gilmore and her daughter Lorelai, also known as Rory. Lorelai became pregnant at a young age so it shows the life of two women that seem like best friends most of the time, but of course every few episodes there is a little argument. It's okay though because usually the episode after they make up. The girls have their fair share of romance throughout the series, Lorelai dating the diner guy Luke and Rory's father Christopher on and off keeps the audience choosing their side like Team Edward and Jacob. Then there is Rory's love life, first love as a teenager makes us all aww for her. It's almost as if we get to see Rory grow up just like Lorelai does. Lorelai gets by with the wonderful help of her best friend Suki, otherwise known as Melissa McCarthy.


Indeed, the once adorable Suki on Gilmore Girls has turned into a crazy bridesmaid, a thief stealing identities into a crazy cop who is outrageously hilarious. I really think she is one of the best comedic actors at this time on screen. However all I can think of when I look at this actress cracking jokes, is this chef who was Lorelai's best friend, wife to Jackson and mother of two children in Gilmore Girls.

However in terms of movies, I would recommend seeing Identity Thief. I have heard that Bridesmaids is a hilarious movie even though I have not seen it. The Heat, however, is probably one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy in the same movie, working together as crime fighting cops. I just loved it.




But back to the show. I think what I love most about Gilmore Girls is the fact that it just seems so real, and even though none of it is like me, I still feel as though I can relate to it all in my own way. You're left hooked after every episode and I would always run home after I got off the bus to arrive home and turn on the tv to find the most recent Gilmore Girls episode had been recorded. I was like a child at Christmas! I would recommend it to any teenage girl as you will laugh, cry and love watching the lives of these two amazing women.

Day 20 is Important

Hey Blogging World

Day 20: How important you think education is.

I think education is very important. If I was not educated I would not be writing to you write now because I would not have the ability to write, nor would I be able to even read anything to know how to get onto this blog. You need it in everyday living; reading signs, communicating with others, buying things! Heck, where would us girls be if we didn't know about maths and being able to buy things accordingly!


 Even though I am not the biggest fan of school and I know many people would want to be anywhere else, school is important because... well it's where the educating happens. It's not all bad, they give you a break from the educating and you get to make new friends and have fun at recess and lunchtime. It's also good because once you get to a certain point you are allowed to choose what you get educated in! There is actually a lot of choice at school and it's not all awful and boring. I appreciate school and the education that I am offered there because I know that there are people in there world who are not fortunate enough to receive the education that so many people loathe.

The sad reality is that there are countries in the world where children are not able to attend school or get an education. There are many factors that contribute to this such as there is no school nearby for the children to attend. For some kids they cannot afford to go to school as they have to stay home and help take care of the rest of the family. It's unfortunate and is something that needs to be changed. These kids are not only being affected at the time, but in the future they will find it difficult to get a job or even just get out of their community as they won't be able to do simple things such as reading and writing. There are people out there that will scam you if they don't think you are well educated. It's quite disturbing that this is the world we live in but it is the truth and it's an ugly truth that needs to be changed.

A big topic today. Hope I didn't make any brains hurt.

Disrespecting Day 19

Hey Blogging World

Day 19: Disrespecting your parents.

Disrespecting is not a good thing, let alone disrespecting your parents! I don't think you should disrespect your parents as they are the people who raised you and guide you and all they really do is care about you. This is easier said than done.

I love my parents and I know that they love me and care about me, but sometimes I feel like they are against me and therefore I speak to them in a way which I usually regret afterwards. I think they know I am sorry for the things I say, but I like to remind them that I am every now and then. That's the thing, sometime we don't think before what we say and we might say or do something that we regret afterwards. But the most important thing is that you apologize for what you have done. And make sure you are sincere about it, there is nothing worse than someone apologizing because they feel like they have to, not because they actually want to.

I also know being a teenager is hard and we all want to fit in and be accepted by our peers. Sometimes this means doing things you wouldn't usually do, such as disrespecting your parents. This could be in the example of if you want to go to a party but your parents won't let you, so you sneak out or say you are going to a friend's house and sneak out in that way. We all want to be rebellious and do that sort of thing at times, but I can proudly say I have never done that or anything that bad to my parents. And being 'rebellious' won't get you anywhere. Sure, you may get a few friends that won't accept you if you're not you. Sure, you will most likely get in huge trouble with your parents who will end up trusting you less than they already do. Doesn't that sound like a real dealbreaker?

Beliefs in Day 18

Hey Blogging World

Day 18: Your beliefs.

I believe in ghosts. They are real and I have heard of stories about ghosts being around from people who I believe are not insane. Going along with all those creepy things, I believe in the whole idea of luck and unluckiness. So seeing a black cat with green eyes freaks me out, walking underneath a ladder is a no no and if I were to break a mirror, I would hide in my bedroom for five years. In saying that, my favourite number is 13 so that kind of contradicts my beliefs in a way.

I do believe in the motto:

I think it is a wonderful way to live but it is really difficult to keep that belief at time because many people don't live like this. It is so hard to respect someone when they won't respect you, and at times you feel like just giving up on treating people like you would like to be treated because they don't return the favour. But you shouldn't give up because eventually, if everyone finally realizes that's the way that the whole world should be, maybe we might all be friends for once.

Not all my beliefs but just a few of them. Weird, whacky and valuable.

Highs and Lows

Hey Blogging World

Today's prompt is another one of a sentimental one so I will try to find a way to make it half funny for you. I have actually been feeling unwell today so I spent half the day at home. But this gives me more time to write to you people of the internet!

Day 17: Your highs and lows of this past year.

See what I mean by the whole sentimental thing?

This past year I have had many high and lows. I go to Lorne as most of you know and there is a playground there which I love going on. I really am just a wee child at heart. I always feel really high when I am on that playground, especially when I am on the top of this twirly thing! But on the other hand, I feel low a lot of the time at the playground as I'm usually on the ground for most of it. Not because I am clumsy, which I am, but because I usually just fall to the ground from laughter or too much excitement. I'm not sure if it is the best thing for me, but meh.


Oh another thing about Lorne. (I feel like a lot of my high and lows happen there) My friends and I have a daily tradition of getting a slushie. Now I have a feeling that they are very sugar filled because usually after we have them, we are all feeling a little energetic after that. That's saying it nicely. But then I'm on a complete low when I have to leave Lorne as it is such an amazing place. Although you have heard about that in my Lorne post I guess.

YUMMMMMM

I'm high when I am having fun. I'm low when I'm tired or sick. I'm high when I'm in a tower. I'm low when I'm lying on the ground. Maybe I'm never really in the middle?

Day Sixteen - Mainstream Music

Hey Blogging World

I thought I would make it nice and colourful to show I am in a pretty happy mood. Well not really, more like I have been moody today. The bright colours represent my happiness and the dark colours represent my bored, annoyed, upset moods. But enough about life as a teen, onto the post prompt today!

Day 16: Your view on mainstream music.

Hmmm...

Well this is a tough one. I'm not the biggest mainstream music fan. I have never been one to go with the crowd anyway so listening to that typical music of the 'duf duf'' or the three same words in the one song. But may I say that even though I don't necessarily like a lot of the songs, I do respect them still. Because of the new technology we have people are able to advance in music as well. It takes a lot of times to produce songs that have intricate beats in term of the equipment they use. I also do know that a lot of people like that music, making it mainstream, so I try not to judge them because everyone is allowed to have their own music taste.

I do that and surround yourself with a range of music that you like. I think that's the whole reason why they have different music styles so people can pick and choose and find different music that they like. It would be weird to just choose one style and say, "Okay this is the style I like and I don't like any other style." You would limit yourself so much!

Also, if everyone loved mainstream music, or everyone just loved rock music, then there wouldn't be any diversity in music which is what makes it so great! Music is like religion and different countries, well for me it's that because it's the way I want the world to be. Everyone should be able to like their own music, follow their own religion or belong to different countries, but we should all be able to come together and celebrate our differences and share them with one another. The thing I love the most is meeting someone with a different music taste to me and I just raid their iPod and they tell me all these songs to look up and I just fall in love with a whole different style of music. That's what makes it so wonderful.

Halfway Through

Hey Blogging World

It's the halfway point and may I say, I am just happy that I have gotten this far. After those days that I had missed, I could have easily given up. But I am quite proud that I didn't and I caught up to them. Although my friends did find it a bit funny that my blog had taken priority over my homework. Meh, there will always be another maths test.

Day 15: Your favourite Tumblrs. 

And just when I thought that I was going well in this challenge...

See the problem that I have with this prompt is the fact that I don't have Tumblr. I don't know much about it other than that it is like a sharing site for photos and quotes, maybe blog posts as well? Therefore I can't really say my favourite Tumblrs as I don't even know many people that have it. I do know that most of the youtubers I spend half my time watching have Tumblr so if I did have it or took any interest in it, they would probably be my favourites.

At least I know what the logo looks like.

So there you have it, I know this is a short post but besides blogging I really don't have many other ways to connect with the world. I don't even have Facebook! Apparently I'm not old enough... Not that I am wanting it that much anyway.

Day Fourteen - Back on Track

Hey Blogging World

Well you have heard about my whole day in the day twelve post so no need to repeat everything. I feel very glad to finally be back on track with my blogging and promise to make an effort to keep on track for the rest of the challenge. That might prove difficult and I can't promise that I will keep on track because as you have seen, I can be pretty busy at times. But I promised to make an effort and I shall stick to that promise.

Day 14: Your earliest memory

I love trying to think back to my childhood but the only problem with that is that I can never remember much about it. Besides the fact that I was an adorable child of course. I do love one particular memory the most though.

I remember when maybe I was three or four and I absolutely loved Hi-5. The original cast though, can't stand the people that come in and deceive those little kids by telling them they are "Hi-5". But I shall save my Hi-5 people rant for another post. Anyway, I'm not sure if any of you will remember the magic carpet song they always used to sing? I attempted to find it on YouTube, but no luck. So they sang this song about being on a magic carpet and they always looked like they were on, well I'm pretty sure they were on a regular carpet but the green screen showed blue clouds so I just presumed it was magical. As soon as the song came on I would run to my bedroom, grab a blanket, run back into the room where the song was playing and fly on my blanket with them. It was such a fun time. See how much I have changed! When I was little I would run to my bedroom to get a blanket for a thirty second song. Now I debate whether I really need that blanket in my bedroom to watch the two hour movie, even if it is freezing in the house.

The original cast.
 In case you didn't know.

Day Thirteen - Another Catch Up Post

Hey Blogging World

If I was writing this to you when I should have been, (Yesterday) I would have been busy babysitting again in the night, getting over a traumatising haircut or at the movies with a friend. In other words, I couldn't write this to you yesterday.

Day 13: Somewhere you'd like to move or visit.

I know it may seem cliché but I have always loved France and I have actually already been there once with school, which kind of confirmed my love for it. Ever since I started learning french in prep, I fell in love with the language and therefore the country. I still learn it today and plan to take it all the way to year 12 and hopefully continue it in university as I would love to become fluent in it.

So after I become fluent in french I will be able to live there for a year (at least) and make my way around. If you look closely on the map you will see a town called Lyon. We went there on the school trip and I loved it the most. Indeed Paris is beautiful but I don't think I could live with all the hustle and bustle in the "city of love". Lyon on the other hand, has just the right amount of people for my liking and is still a beautiful place in itself. It has a way of combining the old with the new, by actually having the names 'Old Lyon' and 'New Lyon.                      
The little streets are just beautiful, of course you must be careful as you could easily get lost. But the beauty of the place is wonderful. I would love to just rent an apartment in Lyon, work at one of the many cafés and explore the town as much as possible. I would also use Lyon as a base though and explore all the other parts of France and the rest of Europe. Being fluent in french would give me a healthy advantage in finding a place to stay, work etc. But if I ever run into trouble I know I have my lovely homestay family that I could always count on to give me a helping hand.

That's where I would love to visit for me. I would also love to visit all the impoverished countries and spend time with them. I also know that sounds cliché but I have also done it before when going to Sri Lanka. I visited a girls orphanage with my grandparents and spent the whole afternoon there with the children. It was probably the highlight of my trip and something I will never forget. So to do something like that again would be amazing as well. However, all this means I need one important thing. Money.

Day Twelve - Yes This Is Also Late

Hey Blogging World

My excuse for not blogging on Friday was that I had school (obviously) and then I had to come home, have a snack, get changed and head off to babysit for the night. By the time I arrived home it was 11:30pm and I watched some youtube videos and dozed off. But fear not, day twelve has not been forgotten.

Day 12: Bullet your whole day

Now I am not sure whether I should bullet Friday, as that was the day I was supposed to be writing this on, or bullet my day today in which I have a much better memory of. Today it is.

• Went to sleep at 1:30 am. Technically today. 
• Woke up at 9am and pulled all my blankets that had fallen off my bed back onto my bed.
• Hopped out of bed.
• Went to the toilet. Don't need to know too much information there...
• Washed my hands (Of course) 
• Oh Wait! I flushed the toilet before I washed my hands. And then I walked to the bathroom before I washed my hands. And  I turned off the toilet light before I walked to the bathroom. Gee this is harder than I thought.
• Walked out to the lounge room and greeted them with a sleep good morning.
• Dad had just arrived home with the groceries so I helped put some of them away. 
• Sat down at the kitchen table. 
• Played with some pegs while mum  hung up the washing. I know, I probably should have helped. 
• Debated whether to have nutella on toast or cereal for breakfast.
• Put bread in the toaster. I guess that made my decision final.
• Retrieved nutella jar from pantry.
• Admired the new fish that dad had bought from the pet shop.
• Took the now toast from the toaster and placed it on my plate.
• Opened the nutella jar.
• Went to spread the nutella onto the toast, but this nutella was funny and didn't spread easily. It was almost like butter after it's been in the fridge. Weird.
• Finally finished spreading the weird nutella onto the now toast.
• Walked to the table and ate breakfast.
• After finishing a delicious meal, I put my empty plate in the dishwasher
• I walked to the couch and turned on the T.V.
• Watched the end of an episode of Twisted. (Such a good show!) 
• Dressed up in a skirt, tights, black long tee and a poncho.
• Hopped in the car at 10:45am as we were going on a little trip today.
• Arrived at our destination and had lunch at a schnitzel place. It was pretty yummy but the chips weren't the best in my opinion.
• Walked across the road where I had a quick toilet stop before we had our tickets scanned
• Walked through the door, took our seats and got out the big box of maltesers which disappeared too quickly.
• The pre show music stopped.
• The lights dimmed.
• A man came out on stage with a broom.
• Stomp had begun.
• It was amazing!! They made music out of anything and it was also hilarious. The performers were just incredible. I loved it and aspire to learn the cool things they do. Youtube stomp if you want to see exactly what they do, nothing short of spectacular.
• We hopped in the car and drove home. Well I had to have a toilet stop at Maccas but other than that it was straight home.
• I had to do some homework because I'm just wonderful and decide to revise the day before a test.
• Skype called with a couple of friends. Yes one of them was Abby. The other girl I will have to tell you about some time.
• My grandparents came over for dinner where we had scrumptious pinwheels, rice and salad. Ice cream for dessert.
• I went for a shower, once again no need to go into further detail...
• Sat down on my bed and well, began catching up on all my missed posts.
• I presume that after this I will study a little bit more for my test, brush my teeth, probably play Candy Crush and fall asleep.

So, do I have an interesting life?

Day Eleven - Yes I Know it's Late

Hey Blogging World

I have gotten into a bad habit of doing these posts late, which is not the point at all. But I do have a very good excuse for not posting this on the right night as I was at none other than the Pink Concert! It was amazing but I didn't get home till about 1am so I was not really in the mood to quickly write up a post for you, which would most likely have had a million spelling errors if I had done so. I am going to catch up on all my posts today and do today's while I'm at it just so I can be on track again.

Day 11: Put your iPod on shuffle and write 10 songs that pop up. 

Now this is a bit hard as my iPhone only has ten songs as I am an extremely lazy person who would prefer to listen to the same ten songs on repeat every day rather than take the 15 minutes to upload all my other music onto my phone.

Gin Wigmore and Band.

Song number 1: S.O.S by Gin Wigmore. Now I know I have spoken about this song before in an earlier post, something about the fact that it makes me rather happy. It is a wonderful song and I would recommend any Gin Wigmore song as she is simply amazing.

Song number 2: Resistance by Muse. I love Muse and my dad and I are planning on seeing them live at the end of this year. Eeeep! I have been trying to learn the songs better, as there are more I know than others. Unfortunately we only have two in the iTunes Library so I know those two a lot better than the rest. Let's just say that when they come on at the concert, I will be the loudest one singing along.

Vampire Weekend

Song number 3: Jonathan Low by Vampire Weekend. I actually did not plan to have this song in my music, but school made us do an aerobics project and part of that was picking up the songs to go along with the routine. I was responsible for putting the playlist on my phone and so some of the songs are not actually ones I listen to at all.  This one however, is quite good. It's off the twilight soundtrack, so if I had not been given this song I probably would have never discovered it and my ears would have never consumed the awesomeness of the song.

The image is pretty self explanatory.

Song number 4: Neutron Star Collision by Muse. Yes this is the other song that I am going to be overly prepared for at the concert. I must say though that it is also a wonderful song to listen and be happy too. I just love the part where the guitar kicks in with the badududums.

Song number 5: Waka Waka by Shakira. This song was the official 2010 FIFA song. I think that is soccer? That's what the video clip showed anyway. It was there for our aerobics playlist but I actually quite like the song. After the thirty second introduction of weird African noises.

Song number 6:  The bucket by Kings of Leon. I used this song for an iMovie I made about a day out with a few friends. I fell in love with the song and listen to it at least twice everyday. It is like my happy wake up good morning the day is going to be great (even if it isn't) song. As I'm sprinting down the hill to make sure I don't miss the bus I have the song blaring through my headphones, I must look so weird power walking and grinning at 8 o'clock in the morning.

So girly.

Song number 7: What You Want from the musical "Legally Blonde". I must say that I love this musical and have in fact seen it twice. My new dream is to be the next Elle Woods. I'm not exactly sure why I only have this song, I think I started downloading them then realized I would just download them along with all the music (That still hasn't happened) and this one slipped in. It is a grand song though.

Song number 8: E.T by Katy Perry. This song was for the aerobics project. It is usually skipped past. That's not to say I don't like Katy Perry, I just don't like this particular song very much. If I'm feeling extremely lazy I don't bother changing it. Oh and just a quick add on that is kind of irrelevant, I do like Katy Perry's new single Roar.

Song number 9: Magid Fountain by Art vs Science. I think. Yep it is. This was another song for the aerobics project, it was my routine actually. I did a boxing routine which fits in perfectly with the beat of this song, fast paced. Not one that I regularly listen to though.

Song number 10: Pump It by The Black Eyed Peas. I went through a phase of loving TBEP (Just using short  hand because I can't be bothered writing it all out) but this was also used for the aerobics project. Yes, half of the songs on my phone are related to school work. Most of the time when this song comes on, I fast forward it to Fergie's bit and just sing along to "la da di da da di da" as it is a bundle of fun.

There you have it. I feel like this post did not need to be this long and I could have just dot pointed all the songs, but what would be the fun in that?

Day Nine and Day Ten

Hey Blogging World

I am so sorry that I forgot a day! I feel like I am constantly apologising on this blog, but I was up till 11:30 last night trying to complete stressful school work which is now finished. (Thank goodness!) So I will catch up and give you a wonderfully long post filled with day nine and day ten. Although looking at the topics I'm not sure how long they will really be...

Day 9: How you hope your future will be like

I feel like all these prompts are just becoming sentimental, all warm and fuzzy. I didn't choose them though so I just have to roll, or write in this case, with what I am given.

Hmm, my future...

Indeed. I hope my future will be living in a chocolate castle. Although I may end up fat and homeless after I have eaten the whole thing.

But besides the jokes, (Or whatever that was supposed to be if you didn't find it amusing) I just really want my future to be a happy one. One where I'm alive preferably. I would love to be surrounded by all my family and friends still, be in university studying a course that I thoroughly enjoy, or if I'm in a job then a job that I love doing. I think I just hope my future is just what I want it to be and in my future that I will actually know what I want to do with my life. I have no idea what I want to do with my life yet but I am perfectly fine with that, and anyone entering into VCE and feeling a little nervous about it, I know exactly how you feel. There will come a day though where I will have to decide what I want to do with my life and I guess that in my future I hope that I will know and I will choose something that I love doing.

Okay well that did turn out all warm and fuzzy, I can be quite a sentimental person at times. However I am not too sure how today's prompt is going to turn out as there is nothing warm and fuzzy about it.

Day 10: Discuss your first love and first kiss

Now you're all probably thinking, 'What?! This is not warm and fuzzy?! What is this girl talking about?!' But before you click away from the page I beg you to hear me out. As you would know if you read my day one post, I have never been in a relationship. So you can probably gather from that post that I have never had a first love and a first kiss.

I think love is a very strong word. I don't use it very often on people, unless of course I'm talking to family members or I am mucking about with friends and say, "Ily babe!" (For all you non internet typers out there, ily stands for I love you) But I don't think you can really be in love with someone at such a young age. Once you have been going out with them for maybe a year you might love them. Okay a year might be a bit long, but you get the gist. You are not going to tell someone after a week of knowing them that you love them. I feel as though I am sounding hypocritical here as I unfortunately think I have done this before, but now I think about it, I never really meant it and I feel as though I just said it for the sake of replying. So my life message for all you lovely people out there longing for some love advice from a true expert such as myself: Don't every say you love someone until you really trully absoloutely mean it.

Oh and as for a first kiss. Well let's just say I'll be that Sweet 16 and never been kissed. And for the record, I will be proud of it. That's right, as far as I'm concerned, I have the most hygienic lips ever.

Satisfaction - Day Eight

Hey Blogging World

Day 8: A moment you felt the most satisfied with your life.

I have not a lot of time to be writing to you so I will apologise in advance for what will be a short post. I am just exhausted from a day of thinking too hard.

I can't really say there is a specific one moment I have felt most satisfied, but there are momentS. I am satisfied after I do something I love, such as eating delicious food. I also feel satisfied after I have completed something, which includes VCE selections. We have interviews this week and they are due in by Sunday night. Hence why my brain is frying/melting/ disappearing. So once I have completed these selections, I do believe I will feel most satisfied with my life then.

My Brain at the moment.

I also really feel satisfied the most on New Years Eve. Being able to hang out with my friends that night and just reflect on the year that has passed, I don't regret anything because I know I can't go back in time and redo it, but I look forward to the new year that is about to commence and all the exciting things I will be able to accomplish in that year.

I warned you it would be a short post.

Day Seven with the Stars

Hey Blogging World

To put all your worried minds at ease, I was able to get yesterday's post completed and published by midnight, so technically it hadn't really become today yet! I just figured you would all have been stressing that I wouldn't make it but it's okay...

Day 7: Your zodiac sign and if you think it suits your personality. 

I am a Virgo.

I was really going to try and make that sound more exciting rather than just a four word sentence but I'm not sure how I could make it extremely exciting without putting a random word such a wonderful or lovely in.

A pretty picture is good enough!
Otherwise known as the Virgo symbol.

I thought I would find my horoscope for you and compare it with my personality. Thanks to Horoscope.com I was able to find my daily horoscope: 

Keeping things balanced today will prove challenging, Virgo. Take this seriously because it's probably needed more than ever. You might be the arbiter in situations where a battle exists between old and new. Take advantage of opportunities. Make sure you're in on the deal. Use your communicative powers to help bridge the gap.

Well. In terms of keeping things balanced, I had to carry a lot of things today so I had to be sure that I had them balanced out on either side so I could walk properly. I can't say I was rather serious... 
I don't think I had to settle an argument today. I did take advantage of opportunities though! I'm not sure if there was a deal to be in on? If so then I certainly was not in on it. I do like to think I have "communicative powers" or I can generally communicate well with  other people. There was no bridge building going on though. 

I do think that this suits me rather well actually! I read my horoscope in the newspaper every day, some days I find things to come true, other days nothing happens at all. I'm not sure if I believe in them as I have learnt a little bit about them in Psychology, and let's just say psychologists aren't too fond of horoscope, palm reader, magic card people. I still read it though so I guess they have me hooked.

Day Six

Hey Blogging World

Well this one may prove to be challenging...

Day 6: Write 30 interesting facts about yourself

I will let you know first of all that it is 11:15pm and I am incredibly tired, but I know I cannot break my promise to all of you so I must have this post finished before midnight! This may take a while because I'm not sure if I am thirty facts of interesting!

Fact 1: I was born on September 11. Not that exact year but it's close enough. So yes, while I was at home celebrating my birthday there were poor people being killed because of a terrorist attack. I am sorry.

Fact 2: When I was young I got my arm stuck in a chair and actually dislocated it. We had to go to the doctor where he popped my arm back into my socket!

Fact 3: My favourite animals are pigs as a result of kissing one on the bum at grade four camp. If you would love the full story see my pig post for the nitty gritty details.

Fact 4: I can suck my nose in. This may sound really strange and I would show you through a photo, but well it looks very unattractive. Basically my nostrils suck in, like some people can flare their nostrils, well I am the opposite of that. I have been told I look a little like this...

Charming I know. 

Fact 5: I am obsessed with youtubing and youtubers. I will literally stay up till all hours of the night just watching youtube vids of my favourite youtubers. These include: Tyler Oakley, Daily Grace, Zoella, Thatcher Joe, Alfie from Pointless Blog, Marcus Butler etc. I know I am missing people but basically I love them all.

Fact 6: I love rollerblading. I found my older brother's old rollerblades in the garage ones day, got them out and started teaching myself how to rollerblade. I try to get out and rollerblade at least once a week, boy do I get some weird looks.

Fact 7: I cannot stand the colour pink. But I do have a pink wall in my bedroom and one of my favourite pillows is pink. Weird huh?

Fact 8: I have a goal to read Tolstoy's War and Peace in my lifetime as I know it is something that many people cannot say they have accomplished. Or really wanted to accomplish for that matter. I do have Volume 1 so I could begin to read, but if I get to interested in it I don't have Volume II so I shall have to wait.

Fact 9: I do believe in ghosts, spirits, bad luck and whatnot. My mum broke my mirror once and I was freaking out that she was going to have bad luck for five years. Lucky we don't have a black cat with green eyes in the neighbourhood!

Fact 10: I travelled to Sri Lanka when I was 12 with my grandparents and some other relations. Not my immediate family though, it was an amazing experience for me but I will admit I was a bit homesick at times.

Fact 11: I love anything France. It would have to be one of my favourite places as I just love the people and the landmarks and just everything about it. If I was lucky enough and rich enough I would definitely go and live there for a year.

Fact 12: Going on from favourite places, I cannot continues without saying that I also love Lorne with all my heart. I think that has a lot to do with the people though.

Fact 13: This is starting to get harder... Oh! I love cargo/ camo outfits. At the moment I am wearing a camo dress. And by camo I mean the camouflage pattern like they were in the army. Not that I'm promoting the army or anything, I just think it's cute!

Fact 14: I'm not sure if these are interesting anymore but I love to laugh and just be happy. There is not a day that goes by without me laughing.

Hehe What a cutie

Fact 15: I also love dogs (especially laughing ones) I don't find any breed of dog 'ugly' and I especially love my dogs, Holly and Chaska. They are so talented, Chaska can ever say hello to us. I kid you not.

Fact 16: I don't like the word ugly. It's just such a bad word and even the word itself sounds bad when you say it. However I have used the word before, unfortunately.

Fact 17: I love the word bucket. I wrote it all over my iPhone case once. On one side it had written tacos and on the other side bucket was scribbled over. People were constantly asking me, "Why bucket?" I had no real answer for them other than the fact that I liked the word.

Fact 18: I also adore tacos. They are just so delicious and tasty and easy to prepare because you can put whatever you want in them. I have always said that if I was really old, I wouldn't mind choking on a taco.

Fact 19: I am a musical junkie! I just love going to the theatres, sitting in the squashy seats, the buzz of the crowd as they wait for the curtains to open and the lights to dim. The shows are just amazing and I do believe that having a lead role in a broadway musical would be something to put on the bucket list.

Fact 20: My favourite genre of movies is comedy. As I said earlier I do enjoy a good laugh and a good comedy film is the perfect way to get those giggles out of me.

Fact 21: When I grow up I plan to leave a man at the alter. I have it all planned. I'm going to wear a white jumpsuit with white converses so I can run away easily. My bouquet will be thorns to throw them and I'm so sorry to the poor guy who is going to have that happen to them.

Fact 22: Then again, I plan on being the crazy dog lady for the rest of my life. Mainly because I don't really like cats and I don't think I will ever find a guy suited to this crazy girl.

Fact 23: I like to consider myself unique. Others may say I'm crazy or just need some help but I pride myself in being different because people do need to stand out from the crowd.

Fact 24: I do not have a preference of brand of chocolate. To me it is chocolate, and all chocolate, whatever brand it may be, is delicious chocolate.

Mmmm so good

Fact 25: As you may know if you have read my earlier posts, and this also may not be interesting but still. I love nutella with a passion and if you gave me a jar there is a high chance I would it all in that day.

Fact 26: I love writing stories as a hobby, but for such a happy person I can write some damn depressing stories at times!

Fact 27: I love to travel and have been to parts of America, Malaysia, France and Sri Lanka. But more travel is definitely on the to do list.

Fact 28: I actually don't mind school at times. That's when it's not boring of course. But I do work hard at school and I can be considered a nerd at times.

Fact 29: I don't have a job as I am too lazy to get one and the only places I have applied at are the ones you can do online.

Fact 30: I truly love blogging for all you wonderful people as it gives me something to do with my life but it also makes me feel like I am connecting with a whole lot of people out there so thank you so much for reading!

Day Five Downer

Hey Blogging World

I am not particularly very happy with today's topic...

Day 5: A time you thought about ending your own life

As you all know I am definitely not a negative person and I hate depression. I really do wish that it had never been made an illness that innocent people have to suffer . But suicide is also something that I believe is a very tough topic. It can hit close to home for many people, because the sad reality is that a lot of people have tried to end their own lives. Therefore I'm not really sure how to go about this topic as I will honestly tell you now I have never thought about ending my own life.

No matter how hard life gets, and it can be really tough at times, you should never want to take your own life away from you. There is a saying that I quite like, but my views on it has changed.

Death is easy. Life is hard.

When I first saw this post I would tell it to all my friends and they would say, "What's so good about that?" And I realized what they meant, was I basically telling them to give up? But then my viewpoint changed on it. Yes death is easy, it's easy to just take your own life and end all the troubles. There's no doubt that life is hard and it's not just a walk in the park, you make mistakes, you get hurt but you pick yourself up again and you keep going. Life was never meant to be easy and to me death is just the easy way out of it all. It's a little selfish in ways because you are just leaving behind your troubles and more for other people to deal with. If everyone killed themselves at the first sight of trouble, there would be no one left.

I know this is a really touchy subject and I can't begin to sympathise with people who have been suicidal because I have never experienced that before. If in anyway I have offended you I'm sorry but the whole point of this blog for me was to share my opinions and that also comes along with the blogging challenge. Please feel free to share your opinions with me by commenting and I will be sure to reply back and check out your blog.

Should always end the post on a happy note!

Day Four in the Wonderful World of Me

Hey Blogging World

Before I begin my day four post I would just like to thank the wonderful people who commented on my post and followed. A shout out to them as it means a lot to me to hear all these wonderful comments from you wonderful readers! But back to the post.

Day 4: Your views on religion

This actually is a difficult topic for me as I want to begin by saying that I do not wish to offend anyone when talking about certain religions and if I do, well... sorry.

I am a Catholic girl. I believe in God and Jesus and the teachings of the Lord and all that. I am not as religious as I could be, meaning we don't go to church as often as we should. But really, most teenagers are still sleeping in on a Sunday morning on the days I go to church, so I'm doing better than them. The bible is a tricky thing for me as we have been studying it in Religion (yes I go to a catholic school) and even our teacher, who is very religious, has been saying she doesn't believe in the whole Bible. And it's true, there are particular parts of the Bible that are myths and legends. They are a way of telling a story, to get a message across to people. There is also the whole issue of being gay and how it contradicts to the bible, which is completely true. I personally don't have a problem with gay people, if they want to be together then it's their business and up to them to choose, but I will try not to get too sidetracked.

In saying this, we also do a lot of research on other religions and cultures which I do enjoy thoroughly. I remember last year studying Sikhism which was incredibly interesting. My favourite things about different religions would have to be learning about their different festivals and celebrations. There are religions that have coloured powder celebrations and I apologize that I don't know exactly what it's called but it sure looks like a lot of fun. They also have festival of lights and there's always music to do with celebrations. So just like Catholics celebrate Easter and Christmas, they have their own! Although I do like our tradition of chocolate on Easter, even if that may not be a religious tradition.

Just a few of the different symbolic religions.

Wonderful Wordy Wednesday

Hey Blogging World

Fear not, even though the thirty day blogging challenge has commenced, which I hope you have all been reading and if you haven't, well there are still twenty seven days. The word of today:

So the word is dither. It doesn't seem like that hard of a word but to use it in a sentence may not be the easiest.
I have a dither when I am about to perform on stage.
I think that's right!

Don't ever
Imagine that
Trainers wear
Hats because
Everyday the weather is
Rainy.

Drugs and Alcohol - Day Three

Hey Blogging World

Day 3: Your views on drugs and alcohol.

Well this is difficult. Not.

My views on drugs and alcohol: drugs really aren't a great thing but if you want to take them then that's your own decision and you are potentially ruining your life. Alcohol is okay if you are over 18, if under then fine go ahead and do it but once again you are potentially ruining your life. As long as it's drunk in moderation (once again I'm being very cliché) then it is okay, but don't become addicted to drugs or alcohol. That's where it gets bad.

I had a man next to me at the traffic lights one day and he started talking to me, something about his back  aching but it was okay because he can take care of himself. The little man in the pedestrian crossing box turned green and so we both began to walk. He asked me what way I was going, we were both going in different directions but he decided to follow me anyway and talk to me. "There are many things to make sure you have a good life," he said, "Don't drink alcohol because that's bad for you. But drugs, they are the worst. You then have to go on medication and you are on highs and lows and it's just not good. I should know, I've been on drugs. Anyway I shall let you keep walking as I have to go the other way. But tell that to all your friends and that is my message to you." This man walked back up the street, so glad he had shared his message with someone. True Story.

Another man approached my friend and I as we were sitting at the seats waiting for a bus. "Excuse me ladies, do you have twenty cents?" He asked. We subtly hid our purses and replied, "No sorry." So what does he do? "Well that's okay ladies but make sure you stay in school because love is on this line and education is on that line... this is important. Have a lovely day." Flapping his arms everywhere showing us where the line of love and education were. Then he simply walked off. As we were getting on the bus we saw him walk away and shout, "Thank you Victoria." That confirmed my beliefs on drinking in moderation.

So you see by these two inspirational men my views on drugs and alcohol have been confirmed that I would not like to engage in them, in the case that in the future I might be asking people for twenty cents and telling them about my aching back.

Day Two - Blogging Challenge Continues

Hey Blogging World

Just going to get straight into it today!

Day 2: Where you'd like to be in 10 years.

This is a bit of a tough one because I honestly have no idea what I want to do with my life, so looking ahead to being 25 and wondering where I would be is a bit freaky. I have always loved travelling so I do believe the idea of being overseas somewhere in ten years would be nice. I do hope to be out of university by then and majoring in something, whether it be music therapy, forensic psychology etc. But then again I would love to study journalism and travel around as a journalist. Or I would love to be travelling around countries trying to help those in need, although I would hope (even though it won't necessarily be the case unfortunately) that all those in need have already been helped by the year 2023. Wow. Imagine having to get used to writing 2023 on all your pages!

I would love to revisit and live in France. 

In terms of relationships I would most likely not be married in ten years time. Can't find some crazy guy to marry me so I'll most likely be travelling around with my dogs! In all honestly if the right guy came along and we had been together long enough then yeah I would. Woah that sounded so mushy and cliché. Na stuff it I'll just be alone, one less person I have to look out for while travelling.

Family and friends I would still hope to be very close to. I would love to be able to keep the amazing friendships I have made through school and outside of school (Lorne especially) and make sure that they are still going strong in ten years time because I don't know what I would do without some of them.

This was kind of a sincere prompt, wasn't it? Or was I maybe just being to mushy and honest about the whole thing. Maybe the whole idea of the thirty day blogging Challenge is to actually come up with a load of tosh and you have to convince everyone to believe that that's what you sincerely believe.

In ten years time I see myself retiring at  the age of 25 after creating the next popular social media networking site,  twitter, facebook and tumblr put together all in one: Twumblrbook.

Day One

Hey Blogging World

It's time to get started on this thirty day blogging challenge and I must say I am not too excited about the first day, but I promised I would start writing today and I must keep my promise to all you wonderful readers out there.

Day One: Your current relationship, if single discuss how single life is. 

I am in a relationship. We're perfect for each other. I don't know what I would do without it...

Okay so I'm in a relationship with my nutella jar. Unfortunately it's about to run out. But it's alright, there are plenty more waiting for me at the supermarket.

I wish I could be in a relationship with food, as weird as that sounds, it would just be so much easier. Food loves me, I love food. We really would be just a wonderful match. The only problem is that there is just too much food and only one me, I mean how difficult would it be having to choose one type of food? That's why I think nutella would be a good option, because then I could have unlimited nutella on my toast for forever. See, a relationship question and I still manage to bring life back around to food!

Okay but seriously getting down to the prompt question thing. No I do not have a current relationship and in the case of discussing how single life is, well it's the only life I have ever known.


Not that single life is bad by any means, technically it's just like regular life. Then again, I wouldn't know any different. I have really only had one close friend who has a boyfriend at this present time and she is loving it. I think she enjoys having that someone there who she can just be with. I'm not going to lie and say I don't want a boyfriend and I'm too good for that kind of thing because there is apart of me that would like to be in a relationship with a special guy. But I think at this time in my life I don't really need a boyfriend or maybe even have time for one. I would like more guy friends though, I mean girl friends are good but damn sometimes they get annoying. Myself being a girl included. I would just like some guys to hang out with I guess and be able to talk to, fortunately I have a few already but a downer is.. well... they're not really my age.

30 Day Blogging Challenge

Hey Blogging World

So I was thinking of a particular way I could write more on my blog and keep it interested for all you reading out there. Therefore me being as original as I am, I google blog challenges and the thirty day challenge came up. It's pretty self explanatory. All I have to do is write about these prompts for the thirty days. It seems pretty easy and I figure it will help me to write more often. But don't worry, I will still write other posts and Wordy Wednesday will still continue. I just thought perhaps I should try something new and this seemed pretty popular. I know you're probably all so eager for me to start writing for day one, but the thirty day challenge will commence tomorrow.




I went for a wonderful outing with my family today and it occurred to me that I have not told you anything about my crazy wacky family. I have a wonderful mother who is a performing teacher and an amazing father who is a building supervisor. But it's okay because he comes along with all the bad dad jokes and dad dance moves. Oh yes, the shopping trolley and sprinkler move has made more than one appearance at my previous birthday parties. I have an older brother who is 21 and in a band, look up the Laughing Leaves, they're pretty cool actually. I also have a younger brother who is 9, a major footy, basketball, tennis fanatic. Oh and I'm pretty sure he's starting rugby soon. I also have two dogs named Chaska and Holly who are fantastic dogs, Chaska even managing to say hello to us. They are so talented. We also have fish which I cannot name as I don't take that much interest in to be honest. (Sorry to all the fish lovers) Last but not least we have two budgies named Aussie and Bud. Bud is a little clumsy, constantly  falling off his perch. But they are a wonderful family and I don't know what I would do without them. Probably be homeless and familyless I guess, so thank goodness I have them.

Stale- My Pointless Post

Hey Blogging World

Have you ever thought about the world stale? It's actually a pretty weird word, especially when you say it multiple times.

Stale stale stale stale stale.

Then comes the problem with spelling it, after you keep saying it repeatedly it begins to sound like stail. There is no definition for the word 'stail' as I do believe it is not an actual word.

Formal Fun

Hey Blogging World

I probably should be sorry for not blogging a lot recently and for more importantly, missing out on Wordy Wednesday. But the truth is I have been so busy with school lately and just making my way through life that I dare say, blogging went to the back of my mind for a little while. I am not going to catch up on Wordy Wednesday, big shock I know, but I will try to make next week's bigger and better than ever before.

However I did have some rather exciting fun on Tuesday night. A wonderful year ten formal. It may not sound like the best fun and really, no one expected much, but it was so much fun and a great night to spend with friends. We had to come up with a new word in english and thanks to the formal my word has been created.

Brinding. Back Grinding.
That pretty much what was happening at the formal all night.

It was a fun but late night as I didn't get to sleep till 2am after going back to a friends house and staying the night. Thank goodness we had a day off the next day.

But my mind has not stopped ticking ever since the difficult topic of VCE subjects has come up. There are so many options out there and just not enough spaces for me to fill all my wants! Apparently that's called relative scarcity in economics. It has just been so hard to decide what I want to do with my life when I really have no idea. Sometimes I really do think it would just be easier to become a high school dropout. But then again, I have no idea what I would do with my life so it's just easier to stay in school and have no idea I guess.

Well yet another short post but I have heaps of homework and I'm watching Across The Universe, which I have seen countless times but I just love it so much. It's a movie with a whole heap of Beatles songs through it and the songs are the base of the movie basically. I love it.

I Know.. I Missed it.

Hey Blogging World

Yes, I know that once again I managed to forget about Wordy Wednesday but I do have a legitimate excuse. I was sick. It was just awful and I can't stand being sick, even though it was only for a day that I felt really ill. Many people have been feeling sick lately so I feel like it's just that time for everyone to take a few sick days and just relax. Therefore if you are reading my blog while you are sick, get better soon!

I looked up Wednesday's word on dictionary.com but it wasn't a very good one and I figured I would have a bit of trouble managing to write a half interesting post about such a word. So I looked up some different websites and found a pretty cool one.

http://www.vocabula.com/vrbestwords.asp

It basically has a gigantic list of psychedelic word and there even psychedelicer meanings! (Yeah, I know I just invented a new word. But I mean, come one, psychedelicer is pretty cool)

Take a look on it and love some of the words just as I do. There are too many to choose from to pick the best one!

Short post I know and I'm sorry but I promise I will write a proper post as soon as possible.
