Missing Day 28

Hey Blogging World

Day 28: Something that you miss.

Well this is pretty obvious so I might put in a couple of things that I miss.

I miss Lorne. My friends that I hang out there, the sunny days in which we can all go down to the beach or up the street for a magnificent slushie. I miss all that but it's okay because with Abby's help we are counting down and it is almost in the double digits!! To see everyone again will be so wonderful because that is half of what make up Lorne for me, the amazing people that I have met and will continue to meet.

I will miss being 15. I am turning 16 tomorrow which is rather exciting (probably half the reason why I can't sleep, that and I didn't want this post to be even later than it already is!) I like, no I love, the idea of a birthday but I don't particularly like the idea of growing up, although 16 won't be too bad. I think I just love being a teenager overall and so as that ticks away I will miss it more and more. 

I try not to miss things because it's just looking back on the past and we should always aim to be living in the present which is exactly what I am going to do tomorrow!

Sweet 16 and never been kissed, or have I?

Problematic Day 27

Hey Blogging World

Day 27: A problem that you have had.

This is also a little difficult as I don't want to delve too deep into my personal life but I don't really want to give you all a puny little problem either. Or maybe I might. Okay, I will. But it has a good solution to it and a nice moral so y'all are gonna listen up, ya hear me?

Yesterday I lost my myki card. Now for those of you who don't know what a myki card is, it's a card that allows you to use public transport, such as buses. I had to catch a bus into the city to meet mum, was rushing around my house with two minutes to leave, had everything, went to run out the door, checked my phone case for my myki card... It wasn't there. Quickly run back in the house and tear my bedroom apart, break into tears as the clock turns over to 2:03pm and I realise the bus would have already gone past.

I was agitated. In myself, I had lost my myki card which really is just another thing added to the list of items I have 'misplaced.' I was mad at the public transport company for making it compulsory to have a card because apparently it makes it easier to 'swipe on' and 'swipe off''. Pffft, the only thing it was useful for was getting lost. Then I thought to myself, people in third world countries would never be having this problem. They don't have myki cards so they wouldn't have to worry about keeping them safe. If they want to get somewhere, they walk. Which is exactly what I decided to do.

I put on my runners, packed my good clothes in my bag along with a water bottle and some food, I almost felt like I was running away from home. I text my mum to tell her what was happening and began to walk. It also helped the fact that I am doing Steptember for the moment so it increased my step count a lot. If you have no idea what I am talking about, I will inform you in a post soon to come. Anyway, my mum rang me up as I was about 30 minutes into the journey and told me it was still going to take me another two hours to walk into the city and I was crazy. But I was determined to keep going. I had one song on repeat for most of the time:


I am obsessed.

To end the story, I managed to get where I needed to be in 1 hour and 50 minutes, forty minutes shorter than my mum expected me. And it was a pretty fun walk! Even if walking for just under two hours can sound fun. That was a problem I had, but I overcame it with a few tears, a fair bit of sweat, and a whole lot of charge on my phone for music.

Attracting Day 26

Hey Blogging World

Day 26: What kind of person attracts you.

Now I hope you have all seen the post I did on the five most attractive celebrities according to moi, and if you haven't then I suggest you do as it is my best looking post I have done so far. But that doesn't mean they are all my sort of guy. I mean yeah, they are damn good looking but I don't know anything about their personality and I'm one of those people who like a good personality rather than just a pretty face. Although a pretty face is always nice.

What A Guy Needs To Be:


  • Funny: This one is pretty self explanatory. If a guy ain't funny, then buh-bye. It's just so boring being around serious people who are constantly having the same serious conversation about politics, racism etc. Yes, I know they are big topics and I'm not saying that we shouldn't address them because they need to be spoken about, but non stop? Everyone needs to have a laugh, it's healthy for you.
  • Musical: He has got to love music. And I don't mean just 'oh yeah I like this band a lot and I saw this band live last year'. I'm looking for ' I play this instrument and I practice constantly every night to this song and that song and I feel like if I'm not listening/playing/thinking about music then a part of me is missing' kind of guy. I'm starting to sound a bit fussy. 
  • Smart: Even though he has to be funny he also must be smart. I don't mean that he has to be crazy Albert Einstein going to create the next big thing smart, but some brains never hurt anyone. I really just have to be able to hold a conversation with them. If he is there going on about how good his hair looks or how the sky looks blue today, then I'm going to get bored quickly and my departure will be just as quick.


They are really the personality traits that I think would attract me most in a guy. Of course all the other things like kind, honest, friendly etc. come along with that but unfortunately there are not a lot of guys out there in the world who tick all the  boxes, or they are just hiding from me. Yep, that's it, they all know what I look for in a guy now so they will all just be the opposite of that. Great.

Day 25

Hey Blogging World

Day 25: Someone who fascinates you and why.

A person who fascinates me. Hmmm...

I would have to say that Albert Einstein fascinates me for some weird reason. I guess I just think that he was a really clever man who was also a complete nutter. In other words, I can relate well to him.

I wanted to know more about this crazy genius so I googled "Ten random facts about Albert Einstein" and picked out the ones I liked to expand on.

No socks: A part of Einstein's whole profile was his crazy look. Not only did he have the uncombed hair look happening, but he never wore socks. He believed that if you had socks and shoes that you should only wear one, what's the point in wearing both?

Einstein was not always seen as one of the smartest men to take the world. He didn't speak until the age of four and wasn't fluent until the age of nine. He failed all subjects except for science and maths and he was always seen as not being serious about his studies. One teacher even referred to him as a lazy dog. That teacher would have been a bit embarrassed years later.

He loved sailing, but never learnt how to swim.

He loved playing his violin which he called Luna. But this was only after he heard the music of Mozart that he actually enjoyed playing, his mother had been trying to get him to play for years.

The man did say some clever things which are such valuable quotes in life for us now. That's what I love about many quotes, it doesn't matter when they were said or who they were said by, they are still going to be relevant to the people of today and will continue to be important for future generations.

Movie Time

Hey Blogging World

Day 24: Your favourite movie and what it's about.

I have many favourite movies so this is a bit of a hard one for me, some of them I have already spoken about briefly, or a lot, (Billy Maddison) so I wanted to find one that I have not mentioned at all in earlier posts. Therefore I decided to look at my DVD collection which is rather small and find one that I really like and drum roll please...


500 Days of Summer. Now I am constantly broke so if I buy a movie it means I really like it, which is the case for this movie. Either that or it may have been on sale for $10 so it wasn't too expensive. Either way this is a fabulous movie that I have watched on many occasions.

It is about a boy and a girl, who's name is Summer. The movie basically tells the story of their lives, how they intertwine and break apart. I'm not sure what else to really say about it as if I say anymore it will just spoil the whole movie for you.

One of the reasons I really love it, and this is going to sound dumb, but in the opening credits they play Regina Spektor's Us which is a fabulous song and I love Regina Spektor so it just makes the movie a whole lot better, even though it's still wonderful.

I also love the fact that we are told this is not a love story. It is a story about love. Now I am so sick of all the romantic movies these days when boy meets girl, obstacle in the way stopping them from being together, jump over the obstacle, boy and girl together. It is so predictable and so boring! This movie doesn't end the way you would expect it to, but I still believe it has a nice ending and it leaves the audience walking away happy, which is what a movie should always do in the end.

Attractive Day 23

Hey Blogging World

Day 23: Give pictures of 5 guys who are famous who you find attractive. 

This is probably one of my favourite prompts out of all the prompts on the list.


Number 1: Now just so you know, these are in no particular order as I could never choose between them all! But to the lovely gentlemen.

Josh Hutcherson. An amazing actor and a very lovely looking young man. I'm not sure if there is much else to say about him. I don't exactly find the Hunger Games the best movie but having him in it does make the film a little better.


Number 2: Steven Motlop from the Geelong Cats football team. I would just like to thank Abby for this wonderful discovery as she was telling me about the wonderful men on the Cats team and sent me a photo through, I was hooked ever since. He actually is a very good football player as I have seen him (and his shiny legs) play before. But he also plays guitar and sings. Boy is he good! It's amazing because he is multitalented and just seems like a really nice guy. Although it's a bit awkward as he is 22 years old. This doesn't make it very legal, or at all legal for that matter.


Number 3: Alex Pettyfer is an amazing actor. I am trying not to make this about the looks entirely, even though I know that the prompt is based on that. I don't like just focusing on a person's looks as that isn't all there is to a person.

 I genuinely think that you could Pettyfer in any role and he is able to play it. Although most of them contain him being the attractive male lead. Examples; Wild Child, Beastly and Magic Mike. Magic Mike... Don't even get me started on that amazingly wonderfully totally not a family type of movie.






Number 4:  Jesse Rutherford from the Neighbourhood. He is the one right there ---->
Yes the one in front. I believe his looks are just an added bonus to what this guy can do. He has one of the most incredible voices and their band as a whole is just amazing. I would recommend listening to them  as soon as possible. Now would be wonderful. Their song Sweater Weather is the most well known but just listen to all of them because they are bootifullll with their singing but also this guys looks. Seriously, you must see all his amazing tattoos.


Number 5:  I could not go without putting this man on the top five. Ryan Gosling is one of the sexiest men alive. And I am not just saying that from my opinion. He is on the countless lists of the sexiest men of 2013. So I'm not the only girl who thinks he is good looking?

I realized today (as I wrote this post yesterday because I am so organised now!) that I forgot to put one very impressive guy up, but I also feel bad as this guy has passed on. Yes I am talking about the late, great, Heath Ledger. He was an amazing actor but also a wonderfully looking gentleman. Ten Things I Hate About You seems to be one the greatest movies I have seen.

Thought I would leave you with this :)

Changing - Day 22

Hey Blogging World

Day 22: How have you changed in the past 2 years?

I am in a pretty bad mood at the moment from something that just happened. It turns out I can't take criticism well when a lady comes in and says that I have to step back and be the sweet singer while the other singer takes power and tells the story. Therefore I am not in the best mood to write this post, so if it sounds a little moody, please forgive me.

I think I have changed in the fact that I am now more determined to get what I want. Two years ago I would have been happy to just float through everything, as I still am for some things. But I know when I want things now and I know the effort that I need to give in order to get there. People are not going to stop me from achieving these goals either.

I am a lot more positive on my outlook in life. Two years ago, as I was saying, I was simply floating through life and there were days when I didn't feel a whole lot and I wasn't that interested in many things. It really kicked in last year that I do need to be more positive in what I do. So I continuing to do this, but as you can see, sometimes people push my buttons and my positive outlook changes a little bit.

I don't even know how much I have changed! I got a haircut, long to short. But it has grown back to the length it almost was now. I'm not sure what else to say as I haven't really changed that much as far as I'm concerned. I have become more confident, also more whacky and I think my craziness has just escalated to the point where people call me mentally unstable.
