Meme
Here's the promised meme I stole from Clo:
Does your opinion of people change if you find out they use drugs?
A little bit. I try not to, because it's their choice. It often only changes if they do the drugs infront of me. I know a bunch of people who do, but while it's not in my face it doesn't bother me.
Are there certain things that can't be joked about, if anything?
I think everything should be joked about, even if it's only at the right time (like Clo said), I mean if something really terrible happens, you should be able to laugh about it on some level, but maybe not straight away. And in regards to the whole religious thing, although it smarts sometime, I have to agree with that South Park episode (which doesn't happen very often) that if you're allowed to laugh at one thing, you should be allowed to laugh at them all. Like, it's OK to tease God, but not Allah. I don't like that. If it's in good fun then it should be Ok.
Would you rather be a taxi driver, a doctor, or an accountant?
A doctor. I know there are crappy hours, and some crappy patients and crap loads of training, but I'd be happy to be helping people, and I'm really attracted to knowledge. Doctors know things. Important things.
Have you ever hung upside down from the side of your bed till you felt spacey?
Of course! I was a kid once too.
What is one thing you would like people to say about you at your funeral?
She was happy
Do you think everyone is a little crazy?
Yeah I do, all in different ways. I dont' think there's such a thing as "normal"
What is the most important thing you learned in the last year?
How to analyse a brain scan. I think that will be very important in the years to come
What are you doing tomorrow?
Sleeping in, then going to the university to find a flat piece of concrete to play four square on with Ivan, Jon and Em, doing that for ages, then coming home, dinner, maybe a movie, play a game with the others, sleep at like 12.
Do you have a best friend to lean on?
He's not here but I could lean on him if I wanted.
If you could go back in time and change something, what would it be?
Tons of stuff. If I could change anything at all, even if it wasn't something I did, it would have to be Dad, but that's just depressing, so probably the amount of study I've done in my life. I know it's weird, but none of it mattered. I would have gone outside and done fun stuff instead of studying. None of it matters now.
Are you happy with your life at the moment?
I am. It sucks to be this far away from my closest friends, but I've made good friends down here, I have a great boy who would do anything for me, I'm doing well and enjoying what I'm studying. I am happy. I do think that I will be happier later, but for where I am now, it's good.
What's the worst thing anyone has ever done to you?
Lean on me so much that I couldn't breathe for my self. I know that's stink, and if I could (and if it would help) I'd do it all over again, because I loved them both, but it was hard, and I was so grateful when Clark brought me into a group of friends who I could love without being drained
What do you never take for granted?
Ivan. I see what he's doing for me, and I love him.
What are you listening to?
Ivan and Jon playing Rise of Nations in the background, fighting over who will get to build the terracotta army.
What does the last text message you received say?
"is Pegasus da offspring of Poseidon?" - From Joo, I'm not sure why...
Doesn't a minute seem much longer when you're waiting and watching time?
Always
What's the first thing you do when waking up in the morning?
Lie in bed and tell my self I don't have to get up yet, then lie for too long and end up late for class. Every morning.
Where is your number one person on your friends list?
Auckland (Alphabetically it's Rory, and he's in Auckland too)
Who do you not get along with?
Sometimes I don't get along with Jon, but we get over that. There isn't any group in particular, mostly just people who don't like me, like Clo said.
Did you ever lose a best friend?
I have had many best friends who are no longer my best friend, but there's only one I'd say I've lost. I miss her too, no idea where she is.
Are you anything like you were at this point last year?
I'm more independant. But mostly yes. Still not studying enough, still not exercising enough, still with Ivan, still missing the same people.
Would you date someone 20 years older than you?
At the moment I wouldn't date someone who wasn't Ivan, but I do think that, for me, 20 years is too many. That would be like me someday dating someone who was born now. Too many.
Do you miss someone today?
Every day.
How did your day start off?
Woke up, Ivan came in and we cuddled, then we decided to make a sheet fortress but we couldn't find the string, so we held it up with extension cords. The I lay in the fortress and read my new book for an hour and a half longer than I was supposed to and when I got up J an Em were annoyed because they wanted to leave for shopping ages ago but no one told me.
Are you waiting for something?
The end of the semester so I can go home. All the weddings coming up, waiting for the end of my studying.
Have you ever read an entire book in one day?
maybe once, but I hate doing that. I read books to enjoy them, I dont like rushing.
Do you believe everyone deserves a second chance?
Sure, I'd like to be granted a second chance, so why not give them one?
What is bothering you right now?
My marks.
Was New Years enjoyable?
It was, I had fun.
Hows the weather today?
Really great! For the first timein months! We went outside and played handball all afternoon.
When was the last time you were truly, completely happy with your life?
Completely happy with everything? That's a tall order. There have been moments, days, but not more. There have probably been more days than I could have asked for, but the last time... In Greece, on the last night when we went for icecream with Mr Beachman and watched the children playing around the church.
Would you be able to date someone who had a kid with someone else?
Yeah sure.
What do you miss most about the past?
I agree with Clo, not having to pay rent or food money, I miss not having to care about anything
Did any of your friends go out with any of your exes?
I've had friends go out with guys I've liked, but not exes as such.
Is there something that has happened in your past that you really hate talking about?
Not really. I'll talk about anything if you ask.
Do you like anyone?
Of course

Do you regret anything?
I don't have any regrets, all the bad stuff has helped me in ways (cliche!). Sometimes I'm sad that certain things turned out the way they did, but it all led me to where I am now, so there are no regrets.
If you found out you were pregnant who would you tell?
Everyone, I would be so happy! But I would tell Mum first (after Ivan) and then Probably Clark and Liz

procrastination
Do you find it easier to forgive or forget?
Forgive. Ivan says I forgive too easily, but I don't see that as a problem.
Have you ever talked to someone when they were high?
I don't think so. Sometime I wonder about txt conversations with Kent, but does that really count as talking?

This morning, when I was told I was late.

The 5th elephant
Have you ever been suspended?
Nope, only one detention too!
Have you ever had a really big fight with a best friend?
No, not really. My best friends have all been too close for that.
Do you know where you want to be in five years?
I want to have a baby in 5 years, so I'd better have finished my study and hopefully have had a year or more in the field. I want to be a child clinical psychologist, and I want to be married to Ivan, who is happy with his job, no matter what it is or how much money he's making.
There you go. Now I'm off to start making dinner
Have a good one
