day 20 - how important you think education is.
Oh education... Such a difficult thing to talk about. Ever since I was little, it was 'get a good education so you can get a good job' and 'work hard and get good grades!' But since I've gone through high school and gotten into university, I realize that education extends beyond just schoolwork, but rather includes the social part of school as well. Education in what proper ethics and morals are come from the people around you, and during the first 13 years of school, basically these people are your peers at school. Being educated in which ones to believe and which ones not to believe fall into one's own hands. Schoolwork is important, but then you see the nerdy boys/girls that work so hard and cry so much when they only receive 95% on their assignment or exam, and you wonder, is that really necessary. I mean, the hard work is a good aspect, but being educated that 95% isn't good enough probably isn't very productive. Then you see the people who don't care whatsoever about school, but rather just on making as many friends as possible. Then graduation comes, they don't graduate, but everyone else does and moves away in the fall for school/to pursue their careers. Those people don't really get much out of their school life either. So education is important, because that is where people find the balance of social life and school life that they themselves can handle. It is about finding the motivation to work hard, but yet have breathers with close friends and to enjoy being young. College is a whole different story, but I don't think I've gone through enough of it to say anything about it yet! Haha.

day 19 - disrespecting your parents.
I've grown up to find that throughout my childhood/adolescence, I disrespected my parents quite a bit. I was a 'rebel'. I liked to do things to make them mad just because I could, but it just led to bad fights and I don't believe in that at all anymore. I remember one time, I told my mother that it was past her bed time and that she needed to go to bed. Oh man, was she ever mad! I will never disrespect my parents blatantly like that ever again. I realized just this year that even though I don't believe wholly in their parenting technique, that they must have done a pretty freaking good job for all their kids to turn out so well. I mean, there is emotional underlayers that need to be worked on, but for the most part, we are practically perfect in the eyes of parents. We are smart, work hard, friendly, and respect others. We don't do drugs and we would never hurt anyone intentionally. They have given us everything. Even though their salaries are far less than other families, in comparison, I feel like my family is a lot more wealthy than theirs. We treasure things other than money, like family, and friends, and arts, and music. Our income isn't based solely on money but rather on pouring all your effort into helping each other. I cannot believe that on their income, they are capable of paying for my school, my rent, my car insurance, my bills, etc. It is unbelievable. I am so happy I realized this now, because I am going to return the favor in the future when the roles are reversed and I am the adult, and they are the old fartsy kids. :)

day 16 - your views on mainstream music.
Hate HATE HATE!!!!
So much crap on the radio these days. Songs about sex and drugs. Nothing comes from the heart anymore. In the old days it was about expressing your innermost feelings in different way than just speaking it, and it meant something. Now, it is about whatever will make the most money. Although I do still love dancing to the hits... Hehe.
day 17 - your highs and lows of this past year.
This year has actually been insane. I have learned so much about myself and I think I've finally gotten back into the groove of being myself again. Outgoing, happy, and utterly, totally random and weird. That is me. I love being me, and I am starting to feel good again.
Highs:
You know what I realized. Life seems so easy when you don't analyze everything or take risks. Everyday, people go through their routines, go to bed at night, and then start all over again. Same thing, everyday. No risks, no experiencing the dread of realizing you said the wrong thing even though you didn't mean to. But I mean, that is what makes life exciting. The reason people love reality TV is that there is so much drama but they don't have to experience it themselves. I would rather deal with the drama, and the excitement and emotional swings of drama, in my own life than watch it on TV. I love the gossip, I love all the high school things that I convince myself that I am too mature for. Life was more fun when I went to life not knowing how things would wrap up at the end of the day. Who knew that Kayla wouldn't be talking to Ally by the end of some random day? No one, and when it happened, it was stressful, but now looking back on it, I realize that is what makes life memorable. The ridiculous things that happen alll the time! Life can be exciting, you just have to make it that way. :)

Highs:
- Getting co-op jobs, the ones I want, and being able to jump up and down screaming about it.
- Making amazing friends, like Sarah and Rachelle.
- Going to a wet t-shirt contest in Banff. First time drinking in Banff, first time wet t-shirt contest.
- Getting an apartment with Zach and living away from campus as an adult.
- Realizing how great of a friend Lauren is.
- Getting on track with working out and eating right.
- Partying for my first ever St. Patrick's day and having the time of my life.
- The Terry Fox Run.
- Family portraits.
- Sister Trip in Vancouver.
- Experiencing the joy of choir.
- Survey school. It was terrible but amazing all at the same time.
- Almost breaking up with Zach. Several times.
- Realizing I had no friends.
- Realizing that Zach won't be here next year most likely.
- Realizing how insignificant I was to people at work and how sexist they were.
- Grandpa getting sick and the way it affected the family.
- Finding out bad news with a good friend. So terrible.

Missed a few days again... :S
day 13 - somewhere you’d like to move or visit.
3 requirements for somewhere to move/visit:
day 14 - your earliest memory.
I don't even know if I have a clear earliest memory. It is hard to say whether or not these things actually happened or if they are just vivid dreams, because whenever I bring these things up, nobody involved seems to remember. I remember when I was young, Amanda was lying beside the parent's bed, and I thought she would make a good step. So I stepped square on her stomach and then onto the bed. Boy, was she every mad. I got yelled at by the parents and that is about all I remember. Hehe.
day 15 - your favorite tumblrs.
There is only 1 that I really love!
This girl is so random, a little(LOT) sexual, and totally Aussie. Sweet accent!
day 13 - somewhere you’d like to move or visit.

Dear LRT train driver,
I thought it was really cute that you pretended to be an airplane pilot for 5 minutes on my way to school today. I did not enjoy the fact that you said tomorrow was St. Patty's day, because I got excited about drinking green beer tomorrow until I realized you were a day ahead of yourself. Hehe. I do enjoy you mentioning that it will be 4 degrees today and the fact that I can wear my awesome letterman jacket when I go for a walk tonight.

Jack Johnson - The News
So suiting for what goes on everyday.
The Japan tsunami event is making me depressed.
The Japan tsunami event is making me depressed.
day 10 - discuss your first love and first kiss.
Has it really been 10 days already?!
Hmmm. First love. I actually don't know if it was love or not, but I think it is. They always say you never forget your first love and I always think about him and I don't know why so it might have been love. I was so young and immature back then now that I think about it, and I wish now that I had appreciated it for all it was rather than rushing on to the next guy. All the stories I had heard from people were all about how 'bad' this guy was, and how terribly he treated girls, but when he was with me, it wasn't like that at all. The first time I realized how different I was to him was when his dog was really really sick, and he called me and told me and then proceeded to tell me how he thought calling me would make him feel better. It didn't, because I loved that dog too and just made him feel sad because I was sad after too, but that is besides the point. I just remember how we had so much fun doing nothing. Driving around the city, watching movies, buying the most random things. I always wonder, what if I hadn't been so scared of being hurt, if I hadn't chosen to move on and date someone else, but now I feel like it was for the best. He was never going to be 'good enough' for me, and I know that now. Things are different now as an adult. I have responsibilities and different friends and a different view of the world. He never would have fit it. But there is always that question in the back of my mind, what if?
There is really no story for my first kiss. It wasn't special, it didn't make my heart beat, and it is just a distant memory. I wouldn't want one of those crazy movie first kiss stories. If my first kiss was like that, then all the other ones would just seem disappointing! Haha. If you want my real first kiss, it was in grade 1 when this guy Blaine was being a silly 6 year old and telling the story of what happened in one of the Simpsons episodes that he watched. Apparently Homer and Marge kissed, because he said 'and then they did this!' and grabbed my face and kissed me on the lips! I was soooo mad because he was the most annoying kid ever and told him to shut up and then Mr.Mason got mad at me. Haha. Silly grade one kids.

Tsunamis in Japan :(
Scary stuff!
What disturbs me the most is that I googled Japan to find out what happened, and the first articles it pulled up were about how their economy will recover from this disaster. Not about the people or how devastating it is for people to lose their whole lives and people they loved. Sigh. What has this world come to.

day 9 - how you hope your future will be like.
I hope my future will be exciting. Life is nothing unless it is full of surprises and spontaneity. I hope that I don't become one of those boring old people who do nothing but work and watch TV every day and then do chores and take care of their kinds on the weekends. I guess if I do have children, I will have to resort to this for the first few years of their lives in order to make sure they have proper parenting, but once they get old enough, they are totally going to get a baby sitter. Haha. I want to see a lot of change in the future. Right now, the majority of people don't really care about the environment or taking care of themselves and those around them. Instead, they are selfish, caring about themselves and how they can make themselves the most happy, often at the expense of others. So I hope that in a few years, people start to realize how much more satisfying life will be if they learn to make themselves happy while helping others at the same time. That world would be a lot less impatient and a lot more caring.

I somehow missed a day, so here we go:
day 7 - your zodiac sign and if you think it fits your personality.
Here is what an astrology sign says about virgo:
Modest and shy, meticulous and reliable, practical and diligent, intelligent and analytical.
Fussy and worrier, overcritical and harsh, perfectionist and conservative.
Also independent and straightforward.
I don't really know much about the whole zodiac sign thing, so we'll just go from here. Since all these descriptors are so generic, I would probably say that everything here matches to an extent with my personality. Obviously I am a perfectionist and a worrier. I am high maintenance because of my being a perfectionist so I guess fussy would work. I am shy most of the time, because if I don't make an effort, I won't get hurt, so that makes me independent as well. Intelligence is relative, so in comparison to the people in my classes, I guess I would count as intelligent, and having an engineering mind makes me analytical. Since I analyze things a lot, I am overcritical because I notice little things and make a big deal out of them and sometimes go over the top with it. I think the only thing that doesn't suit me that well is conservative, but then again, I like to keep things the same in my life. I hate change, so that would make me conservative, but politically, obviously I am more of a liberal. So I guess overall, the description matches my personality, but I bet most of the others zodiac signs do too!
day 8 - a moment you felt the most satisfied with your life.
I felt most satisfied with my life the moment I finished speaking as valedictorian at my graduation. In that moment, I realized how much success I had through high school. I mean I had great friends, played sports, got good grades, and almost finished piano. Knowing that my speech had actually affected people (some people were crying!) and seeing that my life had an impact on theirs, I realized how amazing life was. Not only did I finish close to the top of my class, but I managed to make friends outside of my classes and to be known throughout the school. It was like a moment out of the movies. The wave of accomplishment that I felt through that speech was amazing, and was possibly the most satisfying moment in my life to date.

day 6 - write 30 interesting facts about yourself.
1. I like to bake, but don't put the effort into mixing the ingredients meticulously like chemistry.
2. I like to write in colorful pens because it makes my day a bit more exciting.
3. I have an obsessive personality and am currently obsessed with soup.
4. I like reading blogs because people are willing to be so much more open to people they don't know.
5. I really like cats and want a orange or grey tabby cat.
6. Working out is an addiction. I feel grumpy when I don't work out for a few days.
7. I like to keep regular and get frustrated when I am not.

day 5 - a time you thought about ending your own life.
I can honesly say that there has never been a time where I have seriously considered ending my life. I have thought about what would happen if I did end it, but I know for a fact I would never do that. There are times where I feel extremely depressed and sad and as if nothing will get better, but deep inside, I am an optimist. I feel the despair, but I know that in the end, it will work out. It always has. I think the saddest I ever felt was when I got 52% on my midterm in first year. It was such a hard thing to deal with, considering I had it easy in high school and in first semester, and then in second semester I had to deal with the consequences of not going to class and not doing my homework. All my life I have been good at pretty much everything, and to realize that I'm not perfect is such a hard thing to do. Suddenly everything seemed different. I wasn't untouchable, but in the end I recovered, and I have been dealing with life in a more realistic way. There is so much still to live for, other than school or work or success in your career, and I know that if I just push through this hard stuff, there will be so much more to live for later on in life.

day 4 - your views on religion.
Religion is such a weird concept. People are always saying how stupid it is because it tears people apart, but I think what they don't realize is how much it actually brings people together and gives hope to these people. To me, religion is something worth having faith in if you need it for yourself. I believe that there is something out there, maybe not the gods written in all the bibles, but I believe the world holds something more than science. As long as no one is trying to convert me, I am A-OK with religion.

day 3 - your views on drugs and alcohol.
Drugs... Hmmm. I think drugs are okay if they are the ones where you cannot develop a physical addiction to it. I mean heroine and cocaine are not okay. I remember learning about how if you try even a little bit, your body will want it again and it will want it badly. Anything can be addictive psychologically, so I mean, marijuana is addictive to some people but not to others, just as eating can be addictive and emotional to some people but not to others. Alcohol is like this as well. I think it depends on the person and whether or not they are mentally strong enough to handle the drugs and/or alcohol. Not that I would recommend it, but I mean, there is nothing wrong with trying it if you know that you will not have that craving and addictive need for it.

day 2 - where you’d like to be in 10 years.
In 10 years, I just want to be happy. Happiness is everything I could ask for, so I hope I am doing something with my life that I truly enjoy rather than just floating through life doing something I hate and just doing the bare minimum to get through. Life is short, kind of, haha, and basically I want to make the most that I can of it. I have adopted a sort of existential way of thinking about life, just getting by day to day and taking things for what they are, rather than dwelling on them forever and not enjoying the good things because of how much negativity is going on in life as well. I remember this story that I read or someone told me, and it was about this man who was punished by a god, and for the rest of his life, he would spend the days rolling a big rock up a great big hill. Everyday he would repeat rolling the rock up the hill, and it took all day everyday. But eventually he learned that life would be this way forever, so he accepted it, and began to enjoy it, and that is when he learned his greatest lesson. Everything can be positive if you make it that way.
So in 10 years, I have no idea where I'll be or what I will be doing, but I know that I will be happy and taking everything one day at a time. Hopes are that I will be happily married, I will have traveled to a few places, and I will be living a healthy lifestyle. I'm starting to consider becoming a personal trainer, so that might end up happening. I also have my mind set on running a marathon before I die, so I hope in 10 years I can achieve this goal.

day 1 - your current relationship, if single discuss how single life is.
My current relationship is familiar. Just so comfortable and nice. It is like having my best friend with me all the time. Even though we have sooo little in common, we manage to have so much fun. It is like the friend groups on TV shows where the girls are so ridiculously different, yet they are such good friends. It feels nice to walk into my home everyday knowing he is going to be there for hugs (and maybe kisses) and to mother me when I want a mother. I love it, but the familiarity and ordinary nature of everything is starting to wear on me, and I want things to get changed up a bit. Maybe we can try to do new things together! But it is good!
