"Five" meme

[melluransa]

Comment to this post saying "FIVE!" and I will pick five things I would like you to talk about. They might make sense or be totally random.

Then post that list, with your commentary, to your journal. Other people can get lists from you, and the meme merrily perpetuates itself, hopefully for the rest of eternity!

Thanks to kseenaa and previous lj users

I just did this, too! But, if you wanna hit me, I can do five for you. *bats eyelashes*

I'm going to check out your book recs! They sound really cool!

Your plans for the future are awesome and exciting. I hope that you get everything you want and have worked so hard for! <3<3<3

And I would dispute what you said about not making your own music. You are a talented musician, and I love and adore the songs you've written for me! Even if it's just lyrics and adaptation -- you are amazing!

[melluransa]

Awesome! I'll check out yours and five you too! You deserve all the high fives that exist in the world! o/*\o (that's two people high-fiving each other and there was a little impact between their hands like a little burst of awesome

Now that's some interesting books right there. :-) I'd say you share a taste in books with my hubby, peting73. :-) He likes books like that to! :-D Among others, but yeah... SciFi is a favorite for him. :-)

Sounds like you have pretty good plans for the future to! :-D Why not public schools, though I gotta ask? I mean, someone with your education and skill would probably be able to do a lot of use and help a lot of kids in public schools! :-)

[melluransa]

For not working in public schools... it has to do with the public schools here, especially in my state

[kseenaa]

:-( That so, so sucks. It is usually in schools like that... where the need is the biggest. :-P Let's just hope not to many think like that, since that would make the need even bigger, since in the end... NO ONE will work in public schools and them kids will get no help what so ever. :-/

I worked as a librarian at a school-library at a school where there were A LOT of troubled kids that had troubles reading, troubles learning the Swedish language since they were refugees from war-torn countries, kids with troubles at home... etc, etc, and so on and so forth... Let's just say there? I wasn't only a librarian. Oh no. I was a mom, a therapist, a friend, a sister, a teacher, a psychologist all baked into one... working very closely with the teachers. unfortunately, I only had that job for... 6 months or so. I loved them troubled kids. It was one EXHAUSTING job... But so, so giving to. I was knocked out when coming home every day. And. It was my first job as a librarian, no less...

[melluransa]

It sounds so much more than being a librarian! Wow. It's exhausting by it's the most satisfying exhaustion in the world. :D

ahh! this sounds fun :) hit me up!

Also, HP board games were the BEST. I used to have a game that came with a bunch of obstacles, and you set it up and had to levitate a ball around it (there was an air vent below the ball you had to twist) in a certain amount of time...it was intense. So fun.

[melluransa]

Yo. Your five are: unwind, pets, books, language, and energy. You can interpret those however you wish!

Oh man, I forgot about the levitate-y ball game!!! I never got that one, but I saw it on the commercials and wanted it so bad! That's so cool! I don't know if it was the fact that they were Harry Potter games and had that HP label, or just that the games themselves were cool -- HP board games were so awesome. I've never had as much fun with other board games.

I'm being sincere when I tell you this, your determination in life and your future plans totally make me want to find something I would want as passionately as you seem to want your dream-job. You have a certain thing in your head - maybe not all details figured out, but the general idea - and you know what you want and what you have to do to get it, and that motivates you to work harder, and it's just so admirable =) It just makes me so happy to see people I care about have moved on from the "I don't know what to do with my life" phase.

I hope with all my heart that you'll achieve all you truly want <3

[melluransa]

Thank you! Yes, that's me. I know where I want to be and how to get there. I'm really lucky to have that direction in life. You know the phrase "I found my calling," or stuff like that? Well, it's really freaking hard to find your calling. Where do you even look? I was so lucky to get a couple of nudges in the right direction by the right people, and spurred me to where I am now.

I hope I can maybe be one of those people for you! That I can nudge you to go take off running and never look back, so you can run off into the sunset (Bill will be there to take a picture) and find your path too! Thanks so much for your sincerity and well-wishes! It means so much to me, more than you can even imagine.

<3<3<3 I love you, sweet Lillypop.

[elizabeth21r]

I've pretty much lost all hope of that ever happening by now! The thought of Bill and the sunset is a nice image though, so thank you for that <333

I wouldn't mind your 'fives' either =) <3

[melluransa]

You're welcome? XD No matter what you say, I will always believe in you. :)

Fives for you! Water, color, books, movies, movement.
