NoJoMo 25 to 30
NoJoMo25: birthdays
I don't have a best or a worst birthday. I do remember frequently getting upset at my birthday parties. I'm hoping that my birthday this year will be one of the best, because I'm not officially doing anything, so I can't be disappointed if nothing happens. I am holding a movie night at my house with my close friends, seeing Twilight on my actual birthday (which I'm sure will make it the best day ever) and then having dinner with my family (and possibly friends) and then going out drinking that night.
NoJoMo25: changing paths
If I could go back and change a choice, jeez isn't that a hard question to answer. Maybe seeing how my life has turned out thus far, I would go back to my earliest memory of doing anything that would have led me to this point so that I could go in the opposite direction. Maybe I would have been popular. Maybe I would have been better off. Maybe I wouldn't have been bullied. Maybe I wouldn't have fought. Maybe I wouldn't be depressed. But then, would I have what I have now? Would I have Mark and Ally and Charlotte and the wisdom that being depressed and dealing with fights and bullying have given me? Would I really change anything? No, I think not. It's just too unpredictable, and I could change something hoping that it would end up differently, and chances would be that it would end up exactly the same.
NoJoMo26: and that's how we met...
I met Mark at school. Yay for us. How exciting. I don't ever remember him in any of my classes, but we got into the same circle of friends eventually through the likes of Michael and another guy I dated. We started dating on an excursion to Sydney where we just ended up walking around all day holding hands for no good reason. It was cute.
NoJoMo26: Dear Santa...
A dear santa wishlist...god I don't even know what I want for Christmas! Just some stuff for around the house, in a style that I actually like (I'm loving vintage and old style stuff, especially like 50s), some clothes and make up are good. There isn't really anything major that I want right now.
NoJoMo27: 50 things I am thankful for (in spirit of Thanksgiving)
I am thankful for: life (even though it sucks at times), my friends, my family, Mark, being (relatively) healthy, living in Australia, work, laughter, good times spent with friends, knowledge, university, psychology, thoughtfulness, motivation, the ability to understand myself better than others can understand themselves, my empathetic nature, good music, good books, good movies, the chance to know everyone I've known, the ability to put words together in a way that could be considered artistic, photography, sleep, knowing depression so that one day I may know happiness, the ability to help just one person (more is just a bonus, every person helped is a person saved, and I'm more than happy to help people), the internet, online friends, recipe books, cakes and cookies, fictional characters that I fall in love with, time spent alone, other peoples' creative abilities, the fact that I am better off than most, having freedom of speech, the ability to choose, the people who have wronged me so that I can treat others the right way, every person who has struggled and survived, the opportunities that I am entitled to, showers, nice smelling things, singing, my anti-depressants, being able to capture memories, interesting people you meet on journeys, the chance at a future, games, love, the environment, the opportunity to learn more and keep learning, every mistake I have made.
NoJoMo28: Most Memorable Dessert
Ooh I don't know. I've made some pretty good little cupcakes lately, but there was this chocolate mousse tear drop thing that was mousse set in a dark chocolate case with cream and strawberries that was very nice. The plain chocolate mousse there is delicious as well.
NoJoMo29: Found
Unfortunately I have never found anything interesting, but I hope to one day!
NoJoMo30: A part of me
I'm not sure if there is a place that is a part of me that strongly. I'm not attached to places very much. I don't get attached. I get attached to people and ideals. I guess my imagination is so much a part of me because I cannot live without it.
NoJoMo30: The end of the line
I don't really like to think about dying, but if I must I think I'd like it to be painless. And not by my own doing, no matter how bad I feel about things at this point in time. Yes I want a funeral. No, I have given no thought to music of readings or anything like that. Hopefully I can mean enough to people that they will be able to know what I want without me even knowing what I want.
And that's it! NoJoMo for 2008 is finished!
