Wow time flies. It has wings. Big wings. The day I sat down and created this blog, I intended on continuing to write in it. And now it's Sunday the 30th of May. Interesting.
There's so many things that I intend on doing, and I never seem to get around to them. Only the small things though... like...cooking a recipe or painting something... or reading a book. But when I do complete one of these things...I feel great elation. I had a recipe for a country vegetable soup for about 2 years. I had ripped it out of a magazine. I never threw it out though, because I knew that one day I WOULD cook it. That's the thing about me.., I may not do something straight away. I may ponder on it. But I almost always will do something, as long as my heart was in it in the first place. So about three weeks ago, I cooked that soup. And it was scrumptuous! And I feel good. Task accomplished. So I intend of doing the small things, that i've put off and off. The big things....I usually do. When I was 14, I said I would go on International Sea Cadet Exchange to Canada....and when I was 19 I did. I said I would visit my old bestfriend in the UK....and I did. I said I would go to Ireland..and I did. When I left school I said I would go and do a summer camp in America....and this is my next feat. I will do it. Life has opened up a perfect opportunity for me to do it. And I am going to do it.
My list of things to do grows everyday. I want to volunteer at an orphanage in Africa. That one, I will have to do when I have a partner, so I feel safer. I want to go to the Greek Islands. I also want to see more of Europe. I want to visit Tasmania. I want to visit Uluru. I want to make a quilt. This I have started investigating. First I need a sewing machine, and then I need the fabric. Then I need the time. And also the patience!! I have the pattern though :) Check! I also want a puppy. After ten years of begging my parents, I still haven't given up. Somehow I may have to wait until I move out.... *sigh*. But this, is another potential blog.
So, before too much more time gets away from me, I'm going to go and eat some dinner. Time doesn't let me forget hunger, thankfully!

The beginnings...
Blogs. Technologies version of a diary. Except your brother or sister can't find it stuffed under you bed in your favourite box. The whole world can. Except its no longer in a box. It's in a computer. Fingers crossed your family is too computer illiterate to find your secret hiding spot.
Isn't it funny how we'd rather tell the whole world about our problems, but are too lazy to walk down the hall way and talk to our family. Or how it is easier to tell you mother on facebook that your feeling sad, but its too hard to run into her arms crying. Is technology the devil, or is it a blessing? I ask myself this everyday. Despite my opinion, it is here to stay and I am condemned to use it everyday of my university life and perhaps beyond. Unless I pack up and move to a remote community where they still wash their clothing in barrels and eggs were collected fresh from chickens butts and not the store. I was laughing the other night at my mum, who still remembers when the milk was delivered on a horse and cart. A horse and cart! My friend and I were laughing at what we're going to tell our kids. "Back in our day, we had to get in our car, which had 4 wheels, can you believe that, 4 wheels. And DRIVE to the supermarket. It didn't just appear in our fridge like it does now". (Even though I probably thought it just appeared in my fridge when I was younger....ahhh the joys of being a kid). I have no idea what I will be telling my kids. But if my mothers story is anything to go off, then I am expecting milk to have its own set of wings and fly to our house. ...or something like that.
Anyway, so i've started this blog in an attempt to become more creative. Considering I live on my computer, I might actually use it. I've attempted to write diaries before. They are quite amusing to read now, however I wonder who else has found them. The dramas of a 14 year old emotional hormone raged teenager who knew everything but nothing was my fault. I was a pretty good kid I must say. Confusing at times. So were we all. I still know everything.
So between life, boyfriends, university, jobs, cadets...this blog should prove to be an interesting read....I hope.
