Courtney at "all things left unsaid" tagged me for this post. 7 likes, 8 hates, 1 love in that order. OFF WE GO!

I like the feeling of getting your haircut, like it's the start of something new. :)
I like staying up at night till the whole world's asleep and I can do what I want, then sleep forever the next day. :)
I like seeing all my regular customers when I go into work on Saturday mornings.
I like shopping. A lot. :D
I like having friends stay over and having deep and meaningfuls at 3 in the morning and then watching our parents drag themselves to work the next day.
I like walking my dog.
I like feeling as if I've done something important with my day to do with someone else.

I hate narrow-minded people.
I hate people who think they can tell me who I am and get away with it.
I hate people who come into Foodworks and try to shoplift. It wastes my time and tries my patience.
I hate feeling inadequate.
I hate people who make other people feel inadequate.
I hate people talking about how important hair/clothes/skinniness is. When all's said and done nobody's going to remember you because you wore a certain brand name to school. They're not gonna remember you because you were the girl that only weighed 110 pounds and were the person everyone wanted to be. They'll remember you for what you did - or didn't - do with your life.
I hate shallowness.
I hate hypocrites.

I LOVE LIFE. :D

I don't have any followers and the ones I do have have already done this! D: But I do tag Elizabeth, if she's reading this!

I'm on holidays too. TILL FEBRUARY NEXT YEAR. OHHH YEEAAHH. BRING IT ON! I'm going to reinvent myself this summer. :)

Tagged!

I got a tag! :D I wasn't sure if I was supposed to do both sets of 8 questions on the same tag or just one, but I only have time for one and the next eight, so I picked the most interesting ones!

1. If you could meet anyone currently living, who would you pick? Why?

I would pick the girls in Superchick, because their lyrics are AMAZING.

2. What is your favorite band? Why?

My favourite band right now is Big Time Rush. I'm obsessed with their show because they're four hot guys! Also, their music is so happy and upbeat and I just love being happy and upbeat. It matches summer!

3. What is your least favorite book? Why?

Never had a question like this before! I would have to say Twilight. Sorry to all the people who love twilight, but the characters are bland and lifeless.

4. If you saw someone who was being rude and ugly and hateful, then they dropped their wallet as they walked off, what would you do?

I would give it back to them. Two wrongs don't make a right, and not giving it back would be sinking to their level.

5. What do you get in trouble for most?

I don't really get in trouble, but if it was for anything it would be speaking my mind. I really edit myself here on blogger because I know a lot of nasty words.

6. Pets, what kind(s) if any, name(s), age(s), the whole deal:

Naiyook is my Alaskan Malamute dog, and she's a year old :) she's a precious child! I have two cats, Amy and Squidge. Amy is six and she's a tabby and Squidge is four and he's a ranga. Or ginger. Haha.

7. If, in the future, you were happily married and had a son and daughter, what would their names be? Any particular reason?

Zackary and Paige. I just loooove how traditional Zackary is, and Paige just sounds nice! Also, you can't really make any nasty nicknames from either.

8. If there was one question you'd love to be asked, ask yourself it here, then answer it:

What makes a person good? What makes a person good is when they'll stop to help even the meanest old lady, when they'll babysit when they don't want to, when they'll volunteer, when they'll help a friend on an assignment or lend people money knowing they won't get it back, because to me that shows that they know there are bigger things in life to worry about.

I had fun doing this but I have to go to work and don't have time to write a list myself! I'll post it in my next blog!

TAG TAG TAG XD

First of all, I love tags.

Second of all, I'm sorry I haven't been blogging!

Third of all (?) I GOT A NEW IPOD NANO AND I AM SO HAPPY.

{1} What time do you wake up each morning? Why?

I get up at 6:40 on a school day because my showers take forever lol. And on Saturdays I get up at seven because I start work at eight. :S

{2} You've just woken up, and you're thirsty. You fix yourself a glass of...

A cup of tea. Probably a glass of orange juice soon because it's heading into summer. <3

{3} Where do you go to school? What do you like/dislike about it?

I got to Red Cliffs Secondary College, six hours from anyplace worth going. I LOVE the people there (for the most part) and I love that year 11's and 12's get their own rooms that we don't share with the junior school so we can study. Downside is that my mum works there so I have to be 100 percent good all the time.

{4} How many siblings do you have? What are their names and ages (if you're allowed to share)?

I have a half-brother on my Dad's side, from a previous marriage. He's Luke and he's 21. He's also awesome. FYI, he doesn't live with me.

{5} What is your favourite game to play with your family?

Oh, that's a tough one. Umm, probably just normal Cluedo, because I always win and Dad's reaction to losing gets me every time. :P

{6} What's the silliest thing you've ever done with your siblings, cousins or any other family member? Would you do it again if you could?

Whenever Luke comes over we attempt to breakdance. We both suck at it (a lot) and so one day we randomly rocked up to a Zumba fitness class. Luke ended up with a strained ligament and i had to drive him to the doctor's and our parents were furious. Yes, I would do this again! hahaha!

{7} What's your favourite game to play with you friends?

Charades. My friends are those kind of people you stare at in the street. Actually, that's where we play charades! And there's 12 of us, so... hahaha.

{8} If you could meet one person in the whole wide world (who's currently alive) who would it be? Why would you want to meet that person? What would you say to them?

Right now? Oh, this is a toughie... Uhhh, probably... Jenny Downham. I am completely in love with her novel "Before I Die". I don't think I'd be able to talk, I'd melt.

{9} If you could meet one person in the whole wide world (from the past) who would it be? Why would you want to meet that person? What would you say to them?

I wanna meet JFK. He was a truly awesome US president. And if I could meet him, I would say "we will bear any burden, pay any price, fight any foe, and do whatever we have to to ensure the continued success of liberty."

{10} What is your favourite way to worship God? Singing, dancing, playing an instrument, praying, fasting?

My P.E teacher holds this thing at recess and lunch time called "Students Alive" which is dedicated to worshipping God. I go every Tuesday and Thursday :)

{11} "God cares about the little things of life." Do you agree? Can you give a specific example of ways that God has shown Himself in the little things of your life?

Of course he does! God created everything that there is. I remember when I was at Josh's funeral, I just thought that everything was dead or had to die eventually, and that the cemetary was a place of death, but a butterfly landed on my hair just as I thought that.

{12} Is there a particular Bible verse that has stood out to you recently? Which verse and why?

John 3:16... "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the trust. Love never fails."

{13} Your parents are out for the day, leaving you home alone (with your siblings). Then, your grandmother from out of state calls and says she'll be there in fifteen minutes. (She wasn't supposed to come until tomorrow). What do you do?

I grab my licence, my next door neighbour and drive up to the supermarket to get something to feed her because she's allergic to everything! (I only have a learner's permit so I need an adult in the car -.-)

{14} Have you ever traveled out of countru? Why did you go?

I've been to America (I live in Australia) New Zealand, Raratonga, and Fiji. We went for holidays! Oh, America was a submarine reunion my dad was invited to.

{15} What sport do you play and what do you enjoy about it?

Soccer!!! I love being able to kick something as hard as I want without getting in trouble (I kick things when I'm angry).

{16} Do you like cats or dogs better? If neither, specify:

I used to like cats, but then I got Naiyook and now I like dogs. I just love how friendly and nice dogs are. My cats are evil and they scare me.

{17} Country or city?

City. Only because I've lived in the country my entire life and everyone gossips about everyone. In the city, nobody cares who you are.

{18} Cowboy hat or prairie bonnet?

I don't know what a prairie bonnet is and I hate cowboy hats unless they're worn in context!

{19} Flip flops or tennis shoes?

Are Converse considered tennis shoes? If so then Converse.

{20} Do you like my (Ayla Gray's) blog?

I wish I had more to post about! Otherwise I love it :)

Rather than tag everybody - copy, paste and do it if you want to! Thanks to all the people following and thanks to Bleah Briann for sending them over here! XD

-a solitary blue.

I got tagged!

Thank goodness. I don't have anything to talk about today!

1. Does having to play these blogger games make you wanna punch someone in the face 'cause it postpones posting about your ever-so-melodramatic life?
It stops me watching Big Time Rush. And James Maslow. Which makes me sad. On the other hand, I never have anything to blog about so I welcome any tags I get!

2. What are your feelings on zombies?
I feel really bad for them! I mean, how would you like it if you were just you know doin' your own thing and then someone came and munched on you and turned you into the living dead, and ruined your favourite shirt at the same time?

3. If you could visit any time period ever, what would it be, and who would you take with you (this person has to be real, and someone you actually know)?
I'd go to the eighties. They were a wild time. And... I'd take Baini, to teach him to have fun!

4. If I gave you Scotch tape, a sharpie, and some studded gloves, what would you do with 'em?
Oh gosh. I don't know! I'd probably sticky tape the gloves to my face to protect my nose from the fumes of the sharpie and go crazy!

5. Are you suspicious or sympathetic towards third wheels?
I'm suspicious of everybody, but I feel bad for third wheels as well. It's not much fun. Especially when the other two wheels have their own in jokes and you're left going "saywha?"

6. Pretend you have a sandbox. But it's not filled with sand. Instead, what is it filled with?
I actually have a sandbox but I would like my imaginary sandbox to be filled with gift vouchers for Sanity and Amazon.

7. Do you prefer stupid nonsensical questions, or deep metaphorical ones which make you ponder life, God, and the universe around us itself?
Depends on the day, sometimes even the hour. For now I'll go with nonsensical but I'll have my deep-and-meaningful cap on tomorrow.

8. Tell me what your regular disposition on life is.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh my GOSH! When life gives you the lemons, either a) make lemonade or b) stick 'em in your bra to make your boobs bigger.

9. Your favourite book and why.
Before I Die, by Jenny Downham. It makes me think and appreciate things more.

10. What was the last play/musical you saw?
It was The Lion King live stage performance in Melbourne. I was eleven.

11. Your secret weapon for luring in the opposite (or same!) sex. ;D
Did you SEE Top Gear last night?!

12. Do you (or did you) do your homework?
Yes and yes! For everything except maths because I hate maths, maths hates me and my teacher refuses to teach me anything.

13. Which do you prefer, city or country? And why?
City, because I grew up in the country and I get so bored!

14. What is your opinion on organised religion?
To each their own. (P.S we never had bible study at school and I'm kind of new to this so I don't know what organized religion is D:)

15. How do you feel about technology, and where it's headed?
I love technology. When it works. Stem cell therapy scares me a bit, and so does surrogate mothering, and genetic manipulation. Gattaca and Maximum Ride, people!

16. What was the last film you watched?
To Save A Life. I loved it.

Okay, I tag Bleah Briann! I think the idea is that you have to answer all the previous questions and the eight I add on.

1. What's your favourite childhood memory?

2. If you be anybody for a day, who would it be and why?

3. What do you like to spend your time doing?

4. Where did you meet your closest friend?

5. Favourite school subject?

6. Summer, winter, or somewhere in between?

7. Who's the person who knows you best?

8. Monopoly or scrabble?
