Something that you miss.
Something that I miss is being in Girl Scouts. That was pretty much the only thing I looked forward to in elementary school. It was a lot of fun, and I really enjoyed all the projects we did.
I hope to be able to work/volunteer with the Girl Scouts someday (hopefully soon). There was a troop outside of the library this past weekend, selling cookies, and that reminded me of my Girl Scout days. Which made me want to work/volunteer with the organization even more.
Girl Scouts was like a whole different world to me. And I loved it. Camping (even though it was indoors) for a few days away from home, crafts, food, earning badges...I loved it all.
I hope to have my kids in the scouts when they are in school, as I think they would really enjoy it.

30 Day Challenge: Day 27
A problem that you have had.
A problem that I have had, and still have, is my shyness. It prevents me from doing things I really want to do in life, and I don't like that.
I have been shy for as long as I can remember. I do have friends, and I think they understand about my shyness. But it bothers me now.
Because I am so shy, I hate public speaking, and I want to get over that enough to be able to do it without blanking out, and becoming too shy to want to do anything.
It makes it hard for me to really interact with others without feeling uncomfortable or self-conscious about myself. I always think about how other people would react to what I say or do, and I don't want to do that anymore.
My “comfort zone” is my house, mainly my bedroom. I feel the most comfortable there, as it is my own private/personal place to relax, and no one can come in without my permission.
But, I want to try to ‘broaden my horizon’ in a way. I just found this article on overcoming my shyness. It may help me in the long rong. I know it’s going to take time to be more outgoing, but it’s worth it for me.
Another “comfort zone” for me is a journal/blog. I can be more outgoing there, because I know no one will judge me, or hate me, etc. It’s like a friend to me, who is very understanding, won’t judge, criticize, or hate me for what I write. And that makes me feel more open to writing what’s on my mind, and I feel better when I write things down.
Shyness runs in the family, so it’s not really surprising that I’m that way. My mom, and some of her relatives were shy, but they became more outgoing as they got older.
I’m in my mid 20′s, and I’m not really that outgoing, and it frustrates me. Does anyone have any suggestions for becoming more outgoing? Besides drama classes, and such. And putting myself out of my comfort zones. Those aren’t as easy as they seem, for someone like me. And I’ve heard them before. A million times.
Another one I’ve heard is joining a club that interests you and meeting people with the same interests as you. I need something new to try out, that I would really enjoy, and where I can grow, learn, and become a more outgoing person.

30 Day Challenge: Day 26
What kind of person attracts you.
The kind of person who would attract me is someone who is sensitive, caring, funny, honest, fun to be with, loves some of the same things I do.
People who love staying in and just hanging out, as much as going out, to have fun. People who really want to know me, and be friends with me.
People who listen, remember the little things I say, care about my well-being and happiness.
People who love animals, love children, love life.
People who life me up when I'm down, who don't mind listening to me when I need to talk, who will just be there for me if I need someone.
People who believe in me/others, as well as themselves.
People who don't put others down to make them feel better.

The Light and Dark Inside Us
I want you to listen to me very carefully, Harry. You're not a bad person. You're a very good person, who bad things have happened to. Besides, the world isn't split into good people and Death Eaters. We've all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That's who we really are.
This is one of my absolute favorite quotes from Harry Potter. Sirius Black says this in the fifth movie, when Harry thinks he is becoming like Lord Voldemort.
I love that Sirius reassures him that Harry is a good person, and that how we live our lives determines who we are as a person.
These days, it seems like there are more bad people than good people (in the real world) in this world. I just wish that if someone has an issue, they would get help for it, instead of taking it out on others, especially those who hadn't done anything to that person.
I hate seeing more and more people do the wrong things in life. It hurts to see them hurting, and not get help.
Like Sirius says, we've all got light and dark inside us, and what matters is the part we choose to act on. That's who we really are. I guess some people really are meant to be bad. I wish that wasn't so, because that is why the world is in the state that it's in.
I hope that people can change for the better. It would make life more amazing. More beautiful. More fulfilling.

Someone who fascinates you and why
Someone who fascinates me is Jonathan Antoine, who came in second place (although I think he should have won) on Britain's Got Talent last year. Him and his friend Charlotte went on the show, and sung "The Prayer." They were AMAZING!!!
He was a shy person before the show, and his friend has helped him out with becoming more confident.
Because of being on Britain's Got Talent, he has been experiencing many great things in life, and has gotten a lot of support from people around the world.
All this attention hasn't gotten to him (at least, not yet), and he seems to take all this in stride. He is an amazing person.
All this has happened to him early in life (he's 18 now). Even though he has become somewhat famous, he enjoys doing things any teenager does, and that is awesome to see. He is just a normal person, who has an AMAZING voice.

30 Day Challenge: Day 24
Your favorite movie and what it's about
My favorite movie is either Joseph King of Dreams, which is about a man who has these dreams, and his brothers are jealous of him because of that. They sell him into slavery, and in the end, Joseph becomes one rank below pharoah (I forget his position), and forgives his brothers for what they have done.
The other movie I really like is The Prince of Egypt, which is about Moses, and how he fights to free his people. He was found by the Pharoah and his wife when he was a baby, and they raised him as his own. When Moses finds out that he was adopted, he sets out to his homeland, where he encounters God, and does what is asked of him. He has to go up against his brother, who has become Pharoah, and is stubborn in the traditions.
Both of these are really good movies, and I have watched them many, many times.

Sorry for Being MIA the Last Few Days
Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I haven't been feeling well since Saturday, and I didn't feel like blogging.
I am almost over this cold that I have, so I feel well enough to do a little update.
School has been going well. The homework isn't too bad, which is nice. The teacher told us today that for the final exam, we have to make and bring in a vegan entree or dessert for the class to try. When I heard that, I thought this was the easiest exam EVER.
I don't eat a vegan diet normally, so this is unusual for me to do. But, I'm willing to do it.
I am hoping to volunteer with a day camp this summer. It's a camp for kids with cancer, where they get to do different fun activities each day of camp. I was a photographer in the past, and I had a lot of fun. I hope I get to do it again this year.
Within the next couple of months, I might be getting my driving permit, and my dad may be taking me out driving as well. I really hope I can get comfortable with driving, so I can get my license. It would help me out a lot, so I can get a job and not have to worry about transportation.
It would also help me in being more independent, and not as reliant on others for things. And that would be awesome!
Well, that's all for now. More to come later.

30 Day Challenge: Day 22
How have you changed in the past two years?
I found out I was stronger emotionally than I really was. When we found out that my mom wasn't going to pull through what she was going through, I thought I wouldn't be ready for her to go. But, after she died, I wasn't as freaked out as I thought I would be.
I guess because we knew that she wasn't going to make it, we had time to prepare for what was to come. It was still really hard, of course, but it wasn't as bad as it would have been otherwise.
After her death, some things weren't as important to me anymore, like getting presents on my birthday and during the holidays (although I don't mind it if someone gives me something).
I have turned to writing, baking, watching movies, and listening to music more often lately, which has helped me get through these last couple of years. Knitting and crocheting has also helped me out, which I love.
Also, since I had started volunteering at the library last May, delivering materials to those who can't come in to the library, I have started coming out of my shell a little. I am normally a really shy person, and don't really talk to people I don't know, but this has helped me with that somewhat.
I am still really shy, but I am starting to open up. I hope to be more outgoing as time goes by, because I hate being so quiet. Although, I don't mind it sometimes.
Outgoing people sometimes intimidate me, because of how much they have to say, but I want to get over that. I also want to get over what people would think of me.
I may be shy, but I am also friendly, caring/compassionate, sensitive, fun-loving, and easy-going. I just don't like to talk much.
