68.The place where i volunteer, for giving unwanted animals a temporary/permanent home.
69. Young Endeavour Youth Scheme, for allowing me to go on such an amazing voyage.
70. My watch leader on the Young Endeavour, seriously he was one of the greatest/amazing/positive people i have met/will ever meet.
71. the government for supporting me.
72. one of the local aviation museums for allowing you to sit in/play with controls in their replica jets. :D :D
I almost deleted my facebook account but i had a bit of an anxiety attack and then couldn’t do it, I need to look into that.
I have two weeks left of school for the year, so I don’t know if I am going to be able to achieve 50,000 words because I won’t be able to do any of it until I am done with school.
I came home early yesterday and was sitting around talking to a family friend (while my mother was outside talking to a mentor person). My cat was in the other room and I heard him trying to vomit and quickly grabbed him to and put him outside. When I put him on the ground he had trouble walking and he stopped trying to vomit. the Family friend was worried by this point, so I picked him up off the ground again and put him down to see if he would walk, he wobbled over to the outside table and lay down underneath it. I checked with mum to make sure that he didn’t normally do that when he was feeling sick and she said he had come in with what she thought was a sore paw about 2 hours earlier. So we rushed him to the vet (he got waaaay worse on the way there) and straight away diagnosed a snake bite (which we knew it was).
Called today to find out if he was alright. He lived and he only has to stay until he starts eating again.
I am going to go visit him now to see how he is doing.
So now he is going to be treated like a king (he’s a cat, like he isn’t already treated like a king lol) until he fully recovers
when we do pick him up its gonna cost $1400 which is a ton of money but whatever its worth it I don’t really care about the money but it has encouraged me to get pet insurance because if something worse happens to my cat or my dog I want to know that I won’t be so out of pocket afterwards.
update: He did improve this morning but they had to give him a general anesthetic to get him to pee (snake bites paralyze muscles) so he was still under when i went and saw him but he started waking up just before I left.
26. American Evil
This was about the mistreatment of the Native Americans, it was a fantastic movie and it did have some scary moments. even though Bradley Cooper is on the cover he is hardly in it.
27. The Cavern
If you want to watch a good adventure horror then watch The Cave or the Descent this wasn’t that great.
28. The Secret in the Walls
This was a very creepy movie, I am not sure but I feel like it was based off of a j-horror. I really liked it.
29. The Hills Run Red
This movie was probably one of the best slash-horrors i’ve ever seen. Not saying that it wasn’t predictable but it was good.
30. The Plague
Yeah wasn’t amazing to be honest. pretty bad acting, I didn’t really like the story but there were a few moments that creeped me out.
31. Population 436
This was a decent movie, its fairly predictable but I spent the whole time putting myself in the main characters position and trying to figure out what I would do.
So I watched the final 2 yesterday on the 31st (in Aus) and I completed this challange. I am never ever doing another month long movie challange again.
So I have watched 25 movies so far, only 6 more to go. I am watching American Evil later on tonight but here is the list so far and the do/don’t watch recommendations
1. Pathology
Surprisingly good, I did go into this with low expectations (as i do with most horror movies) but it was one of the best movies i’ve watched so far in October. Watch it!
2. The Skeleton Key
I really loved this movie, its a ghost horror so there isn’t any gore but I enjoyed the story line. Watch it!
3. The Suicide Club
OMG, I am so sick of cult classics this was one of the stupidest most disgusting movies I have ever watched it was like a cross between the rocky horror show/some weird torture porn/who knows what the frickin hell is going on. If you enjoy sick/wierd japanese horror then I guess its for you but it wasn’t for me. DO NOT WATCH IT! (p.s. Some japanese horror is amazing just not this one)
4. House of Wax (paris hilton remake, I don’t know the year :P)
This was a rewatch cause me and my friends just looooove watching Paris Hiltons character die. I like it but apparently its not that great of a movie according to all the horror geeks out there. Watch it or don’t, i can’t control what you do.
5. IT
Ok maybe this would have been better if I hadn’t read the book (which was a fantastic book up until the ending) maybe it would have been better if it wasn’t 3 hours long. I recommend watching it if you have a fear of clowns or if you haven’t read the book.
6. Jeepers Creepers
This movie was alright, I liked it up until you found out what the thing is.
7. Cabin Fever 2
Seriously this was a disgusting movie. Watch the first one because its actually disgusting and funny. The second one lacks the later quality.
8.Jacobs Ladder
Wasn’t much of a horror (somebody told me it was a good horror movie) parts of it were scary but it was more of a psychological thriller. It was good.
9. Dead Snow
WATCH THIS MOVIE hahaha I loved it, it was scary (in parts) funny and sometimes a little silly. who doesn’t like Nazi Zombies.
10. Pet Semetary 2
Don’t watch this movie, it isn’t worth your time. If you haven’t seen the first one then watch that, If you have seen the first one watch it again.
11. Children of the Corn (original)
So I don’t know what was meant to be so amazing about this movie? normally kids scare me but this movie was (to me) pretty boring. Maybe I should have watched the R rated version.
12. The Orphanage
This movie started off a bit eeeeh but I really absolutely loved it by the end. You’ll have to be willing to read subtitles but I think its work it. OMG i loved this movie.
13. REC
Watch this movie it is the spanish movie that Quarantine was based off of (when I say based, I mean exactly copied except for the reason of the outbreak). I loved Quarantine (apparently it was terrible) but as Eric Cartman would say I DO WHAT I WANT. This was sooo much better then Quarantine, and I loved the story behind the outbreak more in this one than in Quarantine. Once again you will have to be willing to read subtitles (unless you speak Spanish)
14. REC 2
Way way better then the second Quarantine because they actually explain the back story even more in this one. For a sequel it was pretty good.
15. REC 3 Genesis
Give this one a miss, it tried to be to many things and it failed at most of them. aaaaand they changed the style of movie, the first two were shot hand held camera style were as this one wasn’t and it just made it so not good.
16. Land of the Dead
I really enjoyed this. It was one of those kind of terrible zombie movies that you like even though they are terrible.
17. One Missed Call
I really really enjoyed this movie, out of all of them its probably the one that scared me most. I was doing some background on it and apparently it was based off of a Japanese horror (as most of the good ones are) which maybe one day I might get around to watching.
18. War Games
Apart from not being able to understand the main evil guy (and there were no subtitles) this movie was pretty good.
19. Zombies of Mass Destruction
This was just a terrible zombie alright comedy there was a gay couple in it that were f*ing hilarious made the entire movie. So if you want a laugh I’d go for this one.
20. The Dead
I felt more for one of the supporting characters then I did for the main character (in fact i would have been happy if he had died) but I did like that it was kind of a different take on the classic zombies in the USA movie. This one was set in Africa and I think it might have been trying to say to many political things to make it an enjoyable zombie movie (maybe I just don’t enjoy watching people who are already suffering getting attacked by zombies)
21. Survival of the Dead
This one is kind of an offshoot from Diary of the Dead (which was pretty bad) but I did feel more for the characters in this one then I did in Diary of the Dead. Watch it if you want.
22.Skin Walkers
It was a pretty good story, but terrible monster design. Give it a watch if you want.
23. The Exorcist (version you’ve never seen before)
Well its a classic, not that scary (except for when she crab crawls down the stairs). I mainly just watched because I thought it was time and I wanted to see the special effects makeup.
24. The Cave
I really liked this movie. There isn’t much to say other then its one of those typical something goes wrong when exploring unexplored places but I liked all the characters.
25. Session 9
This movie was pretty creep and would have been 100000000x better if Horatio from CSI miami wasn’t in it. everytime he was in a scene all I could think about was him putting his sunglasses on. But that was forgivable so watch it if you like having the creeps.
So I have lost a bit of weight (scale says about 5kg) and my mum tells me I have a bit of a waist (that I didn’t have before) and that all my clothes are looking looser on me. I have been going really well, except for today, I had a bit of a binge (brown rice, seaweed, avocado and blueberry protein smoothie) ok so it wasn’t that bad of a binge I just really overate but i do feel bad about it. I think i’ll just have some watermelon for dinner if ‘m even hungry by then.
My bestfriend of 11 years, isn’t talking to me anymore. I don’t know why, all I know is that I am going back to school and she is partying and doing all those things that come with that. I didn’t say anything bad to her just explained why I was doing what I am doing, it was via text message so she may have taken it the wrong way. I apologized and explained that I didn’t mean what I think she thought I meant. but nothing no text messages (I’ve text her a biggilion times) and no facebook messages (same). I’ve also rung her several times with no reply/answer. I want to hang out and wait for her to get back to me but I don’t know if its ever going to happen and whether i can ever feel the same way about our friendship again.
None of my old school friends (except for a few) even seem to want to get into contact with me, i’m always like “lets catch up” and they say they want to but never get back to me when they are free.
I have another friend at the school i am at now that i’ve become really close with and i would love to stay friends with for a long time but after this i don’t know if Ill ever have a long term friend again.
So I applied for the Young Endeavour awhile back in September, I didnt hear from them for ages. Then last week I get a call saying I got in (its run on a ballot system). I couldn’t get into contact that week until friday (my mum told them that I wanted to go and thats when i could get into contact with them) They said they were still doing paper work so being the normal me and loving to self-sabotage I thought I could leave it for awhile to get back to them. Then I get a phone call last night saying that I because I haven’t returned any of the forms or payed a deposit, my spot is being offered to someone else. As you can understand I was extremely upset! I left a message with them saying “WHAT FORMS??? and HOW DO I PAY THE DEPOSIT???” I call again this morning, and talked to the same person that has been ringing me the whole time.
Anyway, they sent the forms to my residential address and they never showed up in my email. So because he couldn’t be bothered finding someone else to take my place he let me back on the voyage (I think it was because he fucked up with sending me the forms, I bet he forgot to send them to my email because I got them pretty quick this morning when he did send them) YAY for clerical errors. I am so LUCKY so many times have I self sabotaged only for things to work out in the end.
I told one of my aunties that I wanted to do it, and that I wanted to go on one that sails into Sydney, she said that I shouldn’t be so picky and apply for multiple ones (which I did) but the voyage I was accepted on is one that sails into Sydney. Sometimes I doubt the universe/visualization stuff but it always seems to deliver.
Not that I have many friends on Facebook about 40 (not including family) but you really find out who actually wants you in their lives when you say your leaving a “social” network. Everyone I am friends with on there, I am/have been friends with in real life. some of them have been my best friend at certain points. I am still a bit upset at them not wanting to stay in contact because some of them i really do enjoy spending time with. But I would rather have a few good friends who love me and want to spend time with me then people who used to be friends but don’t really care whether i am in their lives or not.
Tried just deactivating it but i got back on after a week and a half. today i sent out a message to all my friends giving them some contact information if they ever need to get into contact with me.
removed words with friends.
-words with friends
-facebook
-43things
-tumblr??? :( might keep it (limit to a once a month visit)
-redbubble
-all the other varying sites that I have stupid acounts on/accounts that i don’t use. I am sick of this life i live on the internet, i am going to delete my accounts and live in the real word and do things that will only benefit my future not slow my progress towards it.
Unlearning the “eat because it’s tasty, not because you’re hungry” lesson is hard, but you can do it. Kids do not eat when they are not hungry unless you teach them to.
I had my first personal trainer session and OMG am i sore but the personal trainer was really nice and she didn’t push me super hard all the time just a few times. was probably i bit naughty with my calories today but not like a binge or anything more like going over them a little.
So i have got a personal trainer to write out a program for me, she will walk me through it once and then leave me for a month and make changes as need. I have started counting my calories using MyFitnessPal (omg its so easy) I used to not want to do it because it was time consuming/boring/confusing but that app as helped me allot. I also got the ADF fitness app which so far has been awesome. Sorting out my Kokoda trip which means I need to lose at least 40kg and get majorly fit before april next year. I am actually so excited.
So this is actually happening next year. At the moment i am in the process of sorting out which company I want to trek it with. Once i pay my deposit that is it i am doing it. Which means that I have to get on the weightloss/fitness program RIGHT now.
So i have signed up for the award, I am pretty sure that I am doing
Violin (skill)
Childcare (volunteer) (i just have to ring the local childcare centre and see if i can)
And I am going to get a personal trainer to make a workout routine for me and adjust it every 6 weeks or so. So she can assess if i am doing it or not. (physical training)
I am still doing the Kokoda track for my adventurous journey, and the young endeavor for my residential project.
Now I just need to get everything organised and find my assessors.
46kg to go! I actually don’t care about getting to a certain weight i would rather be healhty and fit(able to do physical things easily) then be the lightest person, as long as the weight is MUSCLE not fat.
