Ten Day You Meme. Day 1: Ten Secrets
So today, when I feel as though I should actually be packing to go to Morocco, I'm goint to start a new meme. Courtesy of duskyn.
1. I sometimes drink when alone. Because it's fun :) If I have some alone time, I get out the wine or whiskey and settle on the sofa to watch my favourite TV programmes or to listen to my favourite music. It makes life seem funny and ridiculous, and pushes my mind into tipsy, racing thoughts that make me smile. Most of the time.
2. My biggest dream is to write a novel that changes someone's life. You know, the novels that can make a person cry just from the sheer emotion it carries in its pages. Take One Day (David Nicholl's), for example, I read it in 3 big chunks. I would pull myself away from each session, resurface in the real world and have a lump in my throat. I want to be able to write like that. Understated, seemingly mundane, but powerful.
3. I take way too many pictures when with friends out of fear of being forgotten, and not because I like posing :P There aren't many pictures of my teenage years (thankfully; so many bad haircuts :/) and I don't want to fall in the same trap for my University years. They are, after all, hyped up to be the most exciting and defining of our lives.
4. The objectification of women doesn't bother me in principle (in terms of finding women in skimpy outfits attractive- not in terms of trading women like commodities in issues such as marriage), despite the fact that I would class myself as a feminist. What does bother me is how it isn't as acceptable for women to objectify men. If we could equally objectify one another, I would be happy.
5. I haven't always been an atheist.
6. My Chemical Romance saved my life. They are the catalyst to me finding a purpose. Before their message got through to me, I found everything pointless. They started me on a path that helped me rebuild hope and self-confidence.

7. My favourite hobby is daydreaming. I spend hours at a time fantasising about fictional characters, be them my own or someone else's.
8. I don't want kids. Honestly, right now at this moment in time I have no desire to have a child. This may change. And to be honest, the thought of pregnancy scares me. As one of my lectures one said, they are "the perfect parasite".
9. I had my first kiss at 18.
10. The reason why I love my soft toy Wolfie is not that he is a wolf. It is because I bought him on one of the last day trips I had with my Grandad before he died of brain cancer. Wolfie will always hold that special meaning to me and he goes round the world with me sometimes If there is room in the case :) Also, Wolfie's real name (in true HP fan fashion) is Remus Lupin. Wolfie just stuck.
This was much harder than I expected. Phew!
Well there you go :) I will keep going with this! It seems fun and helps me to look back on things. When I go to Morocco on Monday though I will have to take a break from it :)
