I realize I have been incredibly slack and completely failed the blogger 30 day challenge, but hhis is no reason to quit something I have started, so here are a couple of days all crammed into one for you!
Day 11 - Favorite picture ever taken of yourself
I don't really know to be entirely honest. I have a few favorites, but most of which dot really look like me, which is probably what I like about them, the fact that a person has so many more sides than one and even a camera can capture that. Most, in fact all of my favourite photos are completely natural and unstaged, those photos are the magical ones.
Day 12 - Your favorite musical artist’s life story
I know I talk about her a lot, but I really do think Pink is pretty inspiring! From her stories at I've listened to at her shows and interviews, it's pretty clear she had one hellish childhood and got pretty messed up mentally, but the amazing journey she has gone through on her way to fame is so inspiring. And on top of this, she has stayed so grounded and so true to herself. You never ever come across jeer in the tabloids being shallow or conceited and the way she uses her fame to promote causes such as PETA is something any person should be proud of!
Bon Iver comes in a very close second though. My ex told me his story after I confessed my major love for the band. He told me about the heartbreak that Justin went through and the way he secluded himself into a small, isolated place without nothing but simple recording materials and absolutely poured his heartbreak into the most raw, beautiful and meaningful songs I have ever come across. I wish I could transcend my heart break into something half as wonderful! I envy that beautiful man!
Day 13 - A memory that never fails to make you laugh
My childhood best friend and I have a copious amount of personal jokes that any pair of best friends would admire. Mention any of these to me and I'd remain in stitches for hours on end. My personal favorite was when we had to confront a boy who came into our restaurant for an apparent internet date that had bailed. The tantrum that this man threw was enough to make anyone lose it. I'm not one to laugh at horrible love stories and people being stood up, but really, after hearing his sketchy internet story, I hated explaining that I thought there was a chance he had been the butt of a joke, but his horrible personality made me realize he totally deserved that!
Day 14 - Best mashup you’ve ever heard
All best mashups easily go to either DJ Zannon or GirlTalk. I'm not a massive fan of hip-hoppy music, but honestly, those two artists could swing anyones opinion. I love the way you hear there music and you just cant help but get up and dance, so enjoyable!
Day 15 - A moment, phrase, or song that has changed your life the most
There are too many; anyone that really knows me understands that Jodi Picoult and Chuck Palahniuk could write a bible for me for it is mainly their words that have shaped who I am. In addition to these two amazing writers, I've also been incredibly influenced by the words and lyrics of Miranda July, Bon Iver, The XX and Bobby Dupeau. A lot of references throughout my blog are directly attributed to them.
Anything typically raw that changes my perspective gets chucked into this little book I have, for inspiration and guidance, two things no one should be without.
Day 16 - Something that you want to do within the next five years.
In eighteen months I am embarking on a world trip with my best friend for 12-18 months. Thats all I hope to achieve in the next 5 years and although it might not sound like much, thats about a lifetime achievement For me. I want to see everything, meet everyone, care for baby monkies and elephants in Africa, teach English in Thailand, ride through the swiss alps, shop in New York, laugh at the funny guards in Scotland, kiss a beautiful Irish man, ride a gondola in Venice, buy gorgeous clothes in Turkey and work all summer in the Greek islands. I want to camper van all through every state in america and climb the Eiffel tower in Paris. I want to look at the memorials and attractions everywhere in the world and meet everyone. In the next five years, I want to change my life in ways I could never imagine.
