.25 Random Things.

You guys are in for a huge treat!!! I have decided to creat a list of 25 Random Things about... You guessed it, ME! How exciting!!! I bet no-one knows more than 5 =P

1. I have been forgetting to take photos of the actual interesting things i have been doing, so im doing this instead!!!

2. I am 17, and sadly still get scared at night! I don't like walking out to my car or to the garage in the dark, and for years i have had a habit of checking under my bed before i sleep (This MAY have something to do with the fact that Chey once hid under my bed and when i walked in in the dark he grabbed my leg!!) I am slowly getting better and will sometimes go to the toilet in the night without turing three lights on! =P

3. I really don't care what kind of music is popular. My taste in music will surpsise you! My favourites include: The Cranberries, Michael Jackson, Roxette, Fleetwood Mac, Taylor Swift, Nickleback and the very old old Delta Goodrem cd! (Anyone surprised?!)

4. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (http://www.lds.org/) and this is my life. Some people find it hard to understand, and it is kind of hard to explain... Being baptised into this church changed my life, made me a better person and gave me happiness. I never thought i could experience the happiness i have from the church. It is inexplainable! I don't try to force my religion on people, and i respect other people's beliefs, even though it makes me sad to see that my friends don't place great importance on religion like i do. I am deleriously happy in the church and if i ever leave it for any reason i expect one of you to give me a good kick up the bum!!!

5. I LOVE to read. I constantly have about 3 or 4 books on the go at a time. I have read so many great books and often spend too much time buying them! I love Jayne's house because she has a huge office full of books and lets me borrow any i want!!

6. I love to write! I write stories, poems, anything and everything. My journal would probably be my most prized possesion and probably a very interesting read!

7. I am a dreamer. I constantly live in my own fantasy world. This could be because of my reading or writing. When i witness things and see things i am always thinking about them and rewriting stuff in my head in my own little way and imagining stuff as a story or poem...

8. I have different dreams to my friends. My dream is a simple one. I dream of going to uni and studying, and graduating with a Doctorate degree in Psychology. I then want to open up my own practice as a Clinical Psychologist. The other part of my dream is to get married and have children =)

9. I dream of being married in an LDS Temple and refuse to settle for anything less. I also dream of having a big family, with 4-7 kids.

10. Before i gained this magnificant smile (HAHA!) i had the most crooked teeth!!! The two vampire looking ones were behind the front two which were extremely turned in. You will have to use your imagination here because there is no way im uploading a pic of that!!! I had braces for two and a half years, then a clear retainer on top and bottom, then a wire one on bottom, then a fixed wire one on bottom, then a clear plastic one on top. Needless to say i am sick of Orthodontists!!!

11. I have my P's. I have a little red car that was bought for a total of $300. But cost a bit more to fix! =P

12. I sleep with 3 doonas, and 2 blankets on my bed at night because i am always cold!!! I can NOT tolerate people moving in the bed with me. I almost killed Morgan when she had to sleep in my room and kicked her out after 2 nights! =P I feel sorry for my husband!

13. I love strawberry milk, and i always drink it. I don't like chocolate so much.

14. I like to do art. I'm not particularly good but i enjoy it =)

15. I am really bad at cooking and sewing! I am slowly learning though. I made a bag the other week, and Jayne helped me (It was like the blind leading the blind!!!!) lol.

16. I HATE sleeping in tents with a passion! I like to be outside and in nature, but not tents. They always get sand all in them, even when you aren't at the beach!!!!

17. I don't care what other people are wearing. I wear whatever i feel like and am comfortable in =) I would rather wear track pants or a pair of jeans and a hoody over a dress or skirt any day!

18. I really don't care about watching sport. I can't say i have ever watched a footy game on tv, let alone been to a live match! I WOULD like to go one day though! I go for Adelaide Crows, have a hat and a footy, but that's the extent of it lol. I couldn't name a single player =P

19. I love to play basketball. I stopped for many years but our season is starting again in the next few weeks!

20. I really don't like dogs! I am actually a little scared of them! I have a cat, "Kuta" and two fish "Tiny" and "OJ". I am also terrified of pigs and horses!!!!!!!

21. I have the craziest sense of humour and a LOT of people really don't get it and think i am being rude!! I try not to be rude to people, but i often say silly things and realise later on that it could be seen as rude!!

22. I am pretty friendly. People find me a bit over bearing, but i just find people soo interesting! (This is why i want to be a psychologist!!!) I love to know people's stories so i can figure out what made them who they are!

23. I dream about the day that my dad will be a member of our church too and we can all be sealed together, forever, in a church Temple.

24. I cannot stand to eat SEAFOOD, tomato, mushroom or marshmallows!!!! I gag eating these things!

25. Often i like to be alone. I could probably go the rest of my life living on an island by myself, with a few journals, some pens, and some music. (Plus the necessities)... Plus someone to keep me company at night time! And someone to come visit occasionally to give me hugs!!! I LOVE hugs!

There you go, 25 random things about me. Did you know more than 5?! Haha.

.Saturday at the Christie's.

After work on Saturday Morgan and I went out to the Christie's place. Tayla and i were determined to come away having learnt the "hoedown throwdown" ready for the dance on convention. When we arrived there was no one home except for Tayla which provided us with the whole lounge room to practice in. About half an hour passed before Scott and Georgia arrived home, so we decided to move into Tayla's bedroom and save ourselves the embarrassment!
We learnt the dance, and can do it fairly well! .. Whilst we were having a break Morgan thought it would be fun to wrestle me! Sooo not fun! I actually kinda got hurt! And Tayla has the photos to prove that i did in fact get beaten by Morgan, my younger sister!!!
We stayed for dinner, (which was delicious by the way Jayne). And since it was Jordan's turn to wash the dishes we took pity on him and helped him by drying them. Jayne went into the lounge and was sitting on the floor. I was putting away a mug in a cupboard up high, and i accidentally knocked a little glass jug! It fell and smashed!!! Jayne went "WHO smashed something?!" Then looked over, saw i was in the kitchen and went; "OH! Dont worry, i know who it was!" (I am actually a surprisingly clumsy person, as Jordan informed me quietly!!)
I felt sooo bad!! I felt especially bad when Georgia said, "Um, great grandma Horseman gave that to mum" ... The look on my face was priceless! Georgia then told me she was joking and it was only cheap! I almost had a heart attack! =P
As a punishment, Morgan and I were forced to help Jayne cut, pin and sew our costumes for the talent night (Sorry, but they are a secret!!!) ... We got them all pretty much done though!!!
I can't believe Jayne trusted me with scissors on her carpet =P She must have forgiven me fairly quickly though because she let us eat some cupcakes =D Hehe.
It was a fun day! And i will be buying Jayne a new jug very soon!!

The photos are in a random order because blogger wont let me rearrange them tonight!!!

Tayla and I rocking at the "Hoedown throwdown" !!

Sadly, i could not actually get up!

Relaxing on Tayla's bed =P

Tayla talking to ... Wait for it... JAKE!

This is me laughing at the amount of shampoo Tayla

brought back from her holiday!!

Morgan wearing like half the necklaces Tayla ownes!

All the dancing was a bit much!

Ah yes, that is how we spent our Saturday =)

.Little things.

There are times when i am just SOOO grateful that i am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. (www.lds.org). It has enabled me to realise that it is the little things in life that count! I appreciate my family and friends so much. All the little moments that make me smile i just love so much!
Take last night for example. Jory and i went to Woolworths to get the necessary supplies to make tacos for dinner. As soon as we are in the car he informed me that he was NOT going anywhere unless we were listening to Michael Jackson. When i had that on he was happy and sang along to "Billy Jean", and "They dont really care about us" all the way. On the way home however, the only song that was allowed to be played was "Beat it", his all time favourite!!
When we entered the shop he decided that he was going to walk backwards the WHOLE way around! =P So he did! It cracked me up. I am grateful that i can spend this time with him while he is young, soon he will be all grown up and wont want to spend time with his sister!

Today it was Jess Wheeler's birthday (formerly Jess Bradbury =P) and i sent her a birthday message, we then got talking and she discovered i was very bored in my free! So, she invited me over to her place. So i left school and off i went to Jess' place. I found her playing the wii, which her and Anthony just bought. I stayed for ages, actually a bit too long and had to rush back to school. But i enjoyed visiting her, and seeing her now that she is married.
Her friendship is what initially attracted me to the church, without it i wouldn't have even considered becoming baptised. I am grateful for her friendship which started as friendly co workers at Woolies, and blossomed into a beautiful friendship. She stuck by me all the way as i was investigating the church. She was up late many a night talking to me and answering all of my hard and difficult questions. And i do believe that as i questioned her, and her beliefs she herself found a basis for her very own testimony. =) I love that i joined the church, and i love that i have so many little things in my life to make me happy. =D

This was taken two years ago, a few days after i was baptised.

(It looks like my eyes are shut, but they aren't!)

This is Jess and I being "Emo" completely not us! =P

Can you believe this girl is married now?!

.The best thing EVER!.

Well i bet you can't guess what i am thinking the best thing EVER is??!!
Ok, so i was at work on Monday night, and VERY hungry as i didn't get a break... Nikki was supervising and feeling a bit pekish, so, we decided to purchase one of the new Cadbury Bubbly bars... I wasn't too keen as Cadbury's new chocolate isn't usually that great.. But i was pleasantly surprised! So you know how you can get those Nestle Aero bars? Imagine that..
Now add about double the height, and add some cadbury chocolate instead of the Nestle stuff... And what you get is a little piece of Heaven!!!!!!! No joke. I am in love! It is the greatest thing i've ever eaten =P We even purchased the good old Nestle Aero block of chocolate to compare, but we were sadly disappointed with the quality and taste!!! Lol. I shall never go back to Nestle!!

Now i must apologise to Simone here... If Simone becomes fat or addicted to "Bubbly" i am the reason, because just as i had finished my delicious bar, who should come through my check out but Simon! I was raving about it so much that he proceeded to buy not one, but three of them! (One for Simone he said =P) ... He then said he would tell Simone that i made him buy them! So, sorry Simone if you have become addicted! =P
If you like peppermint i strongly reccomend "Bubbly" !!! I loved it so much that i bought another two tonight =P Lucky i'll be working those off at Mutual tonight!!

The best chocolate in the world!!!!!
