DAY 30 WITH ME.

OK, this is the last of the list, and guess what it is.
WHAT EVER TICKLES YOUR FANCY.
Ugh. Seriously.
Ok, here is what tickles my fancy right at this very moment.
Going for a nice long shower.
Scrubbing the make up off my face.
Letting the warm water run all over my body.
Just to sit there and not have to think.
To just relax and let the tension out of my body.
And that is what I am about to do.

day 29

Ok, so here I am, about to tell you my hopes, dreams and ambitions for the next year.
Here they go.
1. Get a home of our own (Aaron and I)
2. To get married.
3. Maybe think about starting a family.
4. Go to Uni to study Photography.

That is all of them.

Not many at all is it. But from what I have learned is that, you are able to achive more when you dont set it all out in front of you.
:)

days 26- 28 with me.

OK, so I am meant to write my week in great detail, thing is I do not really remember most of it, once I go to sleep I usually forget everything, so I cant really tell you because nothing big enough happened for me to remember it.

the next thing is the month, it is pretty much the same with the month thing, but I did move out of the home that I lived in for nearly my whole life this month, I am now living with my soon to be mother in law and soon to be sister in law, and once my fiance comes back to Townsville, I will be living with him also.

and the next one is my year. well I got engaged, I moved, I made friends, I lost friends. That is pretty much it. Sad really that I can not remember alot.
but then again, who really wants to know someones whole life story.

day 25

Ok, so I am about to tell you about my day in great detail.
WARNING, you may want to drink some coffee to stay awake through it all.

day 24

Ok, seriously couldnt the person who created this list come up with 30 totally different things to write about, I guess not, so now you are stuck with another of the whatever tickles your fancy things.

hmmmm. I seriously do not know what to write about.
Ok. I have recently gotten into Anime. Yes Japanise cartoons. I never used to be able to watch them other then like Pokemon' (oh that reminds me, someone should totally make me into a pokemon' card, cause that would be like so totaly cool [ok so I just sounded like a teeny bopper]) and Dragon Ball Z. Anyways, my friends Sarah got me to watch some Anime movies and now I am totally hooked. Although I have discovered what put me off in the first place, I realized that I can not stand the Japanise talking and subtitles. Nothing against them.

Day 23 with ME

Ok, so I am meant to post a YouTube video.
So I will follow. I seriously love this clip, and I love the guy that does it. You should seriously watch his videos if you want a good laugh. You can follow him on Facebook, myspace,(does anyone even use that anymore), twitter and of corse YouTube, he also has a website that he sells some of his merch at, he really is talented.

Here is the link.
Hope you enjoy.

DAY 22

Ok, so now I am meant to share with you a website.
You really have no idea how hard it is for me to pick a website, I was seriously thinking about just writing www.google.com , but then I thought I should share something a little more interesting. Now because I am bored, I am going to share with you the website I am looking at while I do this. Dont worry its not a porn site, lol hahahah that would be funny, its not facebook or twitter, and its not YouTube.
So here is the website.
ENJOY THE WONDER THAT IS LOL CATS.
http://www.lolcats.com/

21

Ok, so umm, I know how to cook, but when I cook I dont use recipies, so I do not really have one to share with you. Better luck next time.

Ok, no seriously I really do not use recipies, I kind of just chuck things together and hope that they dont kill anyone and have some decent taste. So because I am awesome at this whole internet thing, I googled you all a recipie.

20 days down,

Ok so its number 20 on this overly long list.
And do you know what the topic is?
No?
Ok I guess I better tell you. It is what is my hobby. Seriously, you guys must be seeing by now that I am really not that interesting, and you want to know my hobby.
Here is my hobbie.
I do not have one.
I do not have something that I can sit down day after day after day and do. I am rearly in the mood to do the same thing every single day, it bores me to death.
Yes I like reading, yes I like art and photography, yes I like playing games, yes I like watching Movies and TV shows and listening to music. Yes I love going shopping. Yeah I write on a this blog, but I do not say any of these things are hobbies, I really do not see myself at a hobby type of person. I guess if someone put a gun to my head and said, "Pick a hobby or I will shoot you." I would have to say that it is sleeping. Yes I know what everyone is like, "OMG are you serious, sleeping is not a hobby." annd yes I know that, but in all seriousness, I absolutly love sleeping, I do it when ever I have the chance.
See I told you I was boring.

Its day 19

Ok, so here it is, I am about to share a talent of mine with you, if you guessed that it is the ability to be really really annoying, well you are right, but that is not the talent that I am going to share with you.
It has taken alot of thought to pick a talent, seeing I myself do not think I have one, and the truth is, I could not come up with one, so I had to ask my friend Sarah what she thought it was and this is what she came up with; "You have a talent for making up crazy stories".
This is very true. I can sit there and take a general discusion and turn it into some really messed up story. I amuse myself with these stories, and if others find them funny then I am happy I can make them laugh, most of the time its more of a "What the hell is Hayley talking about" kind of thing.
These stories come out alot when I have had to much caffine, sugar or I am overly tired. Talk to me one day when I am like it and see what kind of story I tell you.

Its day 18 with the one and only me

Ok, so this is another what ever tickles your fancy things. (I have had one of these haven't I?)
I seriously hate these ones because I can never think of anything to put.
So I have decided to give you all a little bit of a laugh with some Legends of Zelda "Motivators".
Hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

Day 17 with Me

Ok, so day 17 is meant to be a peice of art.
You may not think what I put up is a peice of art, but then again art is what ever you want to make it in my opinion, hence why I used to have falling outs with my art teacher about my art work in school.
Instead of posting one of my artworks, well that and I dont have any on this laptop, I am going to post something this guy I know, and still really care about made for me.
I love it, because it was such a mix of me and him. Its perfect in my eyes, because it described me in a little picture put together. I look back at it and think, "Wow, I have changed so much in the last few years." It is a little peice of him, and a little peice of me.

Day 16 with Me

Ok. So this one is about a song that makes me cry, or almost cry.
There is one song that comes to mind that makes me tear up a little bit, just because of a past relationship. We used to say that it would be our wedding song, and he used to sing it to me all the time.
The song I am talking about is, Hard To Concentrate by the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
I miss this person, and I still care about them and all I want is for them to be happy. And after many attempts of trying to get them back into my life, I am respecting their choice and their opinion of me, (even if this still makes me sad) and letting them live their life and leaving them alone.

Here are the lyrics to the song, and the link to a YouTube page that has the song on it so you can hear it.

LYRICS;
Hustle Bustle
And so much muscle
Our cells about to separate
Now I find it hard to concentrate
And temporary, this cash and carry
I’m stepping up to indicate
The time has come to deviate and

All I want is for you to be happy
And take this moment to make you my family
And finally you have found something perfect
And finally you have found…

Death defying, this mess I’m buying
It’s raining down with love and hate
Now I find it hard to motivate
And estuary is blessed but scary
Our hearts about to palpitate
And I’m not about to hesitate

And want to treasure the rest of your days here
And give you pleasure in so many ways, dear
And finally you have found something perfect
And finally you have found…
Here we go.

Do you want me to show up for duty?
And serve this woman and honor her beauty?
And finally you have found something perfect
And finally you have found... yourself
With me...
Will you... agree... to take this man... into your world..
And now... we are as one...

My lone ranger,
The heat exchanger
Is living in this figure 8
Now I’ll do my best to recreate.
And Sweet precision.
And soft collision
Our hearts about to palpitate
Now I find it hard to separate.

And all I want is for you to be happy
And take this woman and make you my family
And finally you have found someone perfect
And finally you have found

All I want is for you to be happy
And take this woman and make you my family
And finally you have found someone perfect
And finally you have found…
Yourself.

Day 15 with Me

Ok, it is time to get back on track.
So picking up were I left off.
The topic of today is "A Fanatic".
I am not compleatly sure if I am write about someone who is a fanatic, or write what I myself am fanatic about. So I am going to take a big leap and tell you of a few things I am a big fanatic about.

First thing I am a fanatic about is, wait for it, wait for it; CLOTHES & Shoes.
Yes, I am a typical female when it comes to covering ones self. I love to surround myself with pretty fabrics, the latest fashions, the fashions that make people think "what the hell is she thinking". The highest of heals, the comfiest of thongs (and I do mean the ones you wear on your feet.) I am addicted, yes I have admitted that I have a problem, yet no one seems to stop me. Although since moving out of my home and in with my mother in law, I have minamized my wardrobe. I have thrown away, well not really thrown away, my beloved clothes are all pretty much in second hand shops around Townsville, I hope they make someone happy, seeing as thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of clothes have been given away.

Second thing is; Books.
I love books, they are my escape. I become somebody else when I am reading. It calms me, it is something I very much need in my life. If I did not have books, any kind of books (true crime, fiction, non-fiction, history, the list goes one) I would have gone crazy from a young age. I guess I get my love of reading from my Mother and Father, who as long as I remember and most likely a lot longer then that, have had their noses in books. You can never be bored with a book in your hand. There is so much knowledge out there, you just have to pick up a book and begin to find it.

Third; Gaming.
Yes, I have converted to being a "gamer". My fiance' is the one that has brain washed me into being a Zombie killing, car chasing, ninja, well you get the point. I play pretty much anything these days, X Box, Playstation, PSP, Wii, old school arcades, the list goes on. Be it, playing alone, online or just against friends, I have found a love for these other realities that I used to mock.

The last one that I am going to tell you about, although I do have many more, is my fiance' Aaron.
This young man, swept me off my feet the night that I met him, we have been unable to go long without talking to each other, even before he asked me to date him. He is a wonderful, caring, smart guy, and I realld do not know how I found myself to be so lucky to get him to fall in love with me. He has made me a better person. He has shown me patience, love, and understanding. I love him with all my heart. Anyone who can want to spend their life with me deserves a reward, although he thinks I am reward enough.

That is just a little bit of insight of the things in my life that I am crazy about. Trust me there are a lot more, but you probably do not want to hear about every little detail of it all.

Day 14 With Me

My Non-Fiction book of choice.
Dead Man Walking - Life of Death Row.

Description From Booktopia.

In 1992 Ray Krone, a former sergeant in the US Air Force, was sentenced to death for the murder of Kimberly Ancona, a bar manager found stabbed to death in a restaurant near his home in Arizona. There were countless holes in the prosecution's case and ten years later the victim's clothes were examined using newly-developed DNA testing technology. Krone was completely exonerated and released from jail, but not before he'd spent an entire decade on death row.

Dead Men Walking tells the incredible stories of those men and women who have lived their lives behind bars with the constant threat of death by fellow prisoners, or by state execution, hanging over them. What is it like to live out your days inside one of the world's toughest prisons, knowing you'll never again see beyond the exercise yard? Is it really possible to make friends, or form relationships inside? What should you do if, like Ray Krone, you've been sentenced to die for a crime you did not commit?

Author Biography
Bill Wallace

Everyone should read this book. It will open your eyes.

Day 13 With Me

The Fictional Book of the day.
It is the four books not just one.
The Hobbit, The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the King.
I read these books when I was 10.
I love reading these indepth books and I loved the movies, the only problem I have with it is that they did not make The Hobbit, and it looks like Peter Jackson isnt going to be making it anymore.

Day 12 With Me

Whatever Tickles My Fancy.

So I have been missing my art since I left high school, so i decided to start up again, with my drawing, photography and such, this is a photo of me taken last year, I used photoshop to make it into a Pop-art type peice. It is pretty much the first artistic peice I have done In close to two years.

Day 11 With Me

This is the most recent photo taken of me in Melbourne, it was taken by my fiance as we were heading back to our hotel room to get our stuff so I could head home, I really like it, and I hope you do too.

Day 10 With Me

Ok, So I dont have a photo of me that is older then 10 years old, but i did find one that is 8 years old.
enjoy.

Day 9 With Me

Photo That I Took.
This is a photo that I took the last time that I was visiting my Fiance in Melbourne.

Day 8 With Me

Photo that makes me angry / sad
This photo does exactly that, makes me angry and sad. The other person in this photo threw away our friendship. I will not go into detail, I just wish they could have grown up.

Day 7 With Me

Photo that makes me happy.
This photo makes me happy, because when it was taken I was in one of the best places I have ever been, with the love of my life. Everytime I look at it, I feel how lucky I am to have met the love of my life.

Day 6 With Me

Photo does not do it justice, but on June 12th 2010, my partner Aaron proposed to me.
He has made me the happiest I have ever been and I with for nothing more then to spend the rest of my life with him.

Day 5 With Me

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
Albert Camus

Day 4 With Me

Favourite Book.

My favourite book is actually one that contains three.

My Story, containing, A Child Called It, The Lost Boy and A Man Named Dave. The heart wrenching story of Dave Pelzer's life. From a child growning up being the personal slave of his mother, being tortured and taken away and put into foster care, to the life of him as a man.

I first heard about this mans story when I was in year 8 and I refused to read the book as I didnt think I myself was ready to hear about it. It wasnt until I was in year 11 and I saw the books everywhere that I took it as a sign that I should be reading them. The books have made me appreciate the life that I have been given, and not to take things for granted. These stories that I suggest that everyone reads at least once in their life.

You can either get "My Story" containing all 3 stories or buy each story seperatly.

Day 3 With Me

Favourite Television Program

Ok, this one is a no brainer for me. How I Met Your Mother, my television program of choice. Not only has it got my favourite actor of all time (Neil Patrick Harris), but it is also full of laughs, amazing learning experiences and did I meantion that NPH is in it.

Day 2 With Me

Well what can I say a favourite movie is very much like a favourite song.
I have many, depending on genre and what mood I am in.

So in saying that, I am going to share with you the one that I have watched most recently.

I Love You Man.
Staring; PaulRudd, Jason Segel, and Rashida
Jones.

This movie is my movie of choice, as it always, without fail makes me laugh that the awkwardness of this bro-mance. The journey between two guys as they turn from acquaintances to best friends.

What can I say, SLAPPEN THE BASS MON.

Day 1 With Me

Favorite Song.

I have many songs that I look back on and say they are my favorite. But today my favorite song is; 3 Words by Cheryl Cole ft. Will.I.Am

This song really spoke to me when I first listened to it with my boyfriend Aaron Davey. We sat down and really listened to the words, we both looked at each other and said, "It is like this song was written about us".

It is a wonderful song. And if you have not heard it, I deeply suggest that you listen to it.

The Art of Not Doing What You Are Meant to Doing

Ok, so we have all been there and done that. Assignments, paperwork and the big one, CLEANING.

So my room always looks like a bomb has hit it. But that is all about to change. I have made a small dint in what was the biggest mess that I have ever seen. And when I mean a small dint I mean I still can not see my floor. But I have worked up the motivaton to actually finish my room after I write this.
It is sad that I am getting upset about getting rid of clothes that I dont even remember I brought, things that still have tags on them. My life consists of buying meaningless stuff that will never get used, and it is time to get rid of it and move on.

*Back from more cleaning*

Ok, so now I can see most of my floor, but I have only done half of my room, still under the bed to think about. But it is a big accomplishment from what it once was. How is it that someone like me can have so much stuff in one little room, desk top computer, 2 televisions, a laptop, wall unit, double bed, bedsid table, and around that, mass amounts of clothes and rubish. Nothing is in place, just on the floor, or covering my bed. My clothes have been moved from 2 of the spare rooms into my room. Everybody that has seen my room wonders how I have not broken my neck, as I had to walk over everything to make it to my bed. But everything is about to change. I am taking pride in the stuff I own. I am not going to live like this anymore, it is embarrising.

So say hello to the new Hayley. The one that now appreciates the stuff that she has. The girl that takes pride in the way she lives.

I think I may have grown up a little from this cleaning experience.

The Drama of Nothing to Wear.

Okay, so I have a problem, a very big problem. I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR.
So my sister just turned 30 right. And this is like the first event she has ever invited me to with her friends. It's meant to be "Birthday Drinks" or something. Well, I have thousands and thousands of dollars worth of clothes, but things simply dont fit, have gone out of fashion or simply do not appeal to me to wear. So what do I do, buy things that I will wear once or never actually wear and they will sit on my floor, or make do with what I have. None of the above actually appeals to me. And as I have no friends that are actually my size, I am forced to actually make do with one of the above options. I do not wish to sound like I am a spoilt brat, because in all seriousness I know that I am, but sometimes a girl just needs to have that perfect outfit for a night out.
I have come to decide that I may just go and buy a new outfit for this one night, and out of this one outfit, I am going to give back to those that are not able to afford the type of clothing I have grown up to know. As a girl, a girl who openly accepts that she is a shopaholic and a self confessed clothes horder, this will be the hardest challenge I have yet accomplished, but it is one I am willing to take.

The First of Many

Okay, so I am taking my joy of creative writing and turning it into my life online.
Never really done anything like this before, I dont normally write about my self. But I have read my beautiful friend Kirsta's blogs, and alot of other peoples, and come to the conclusion that it is time for me to start up. Who knows, this could be the new "Gossip Girl" trend.

Who would have known, that growing up could be so exciting. I myself have always been terrified of growing old. I have no idea why, but the fear has always been there, instead of celerbrating my 18th birthday, I locked myself away and cried, not opening my gifts in front of anyone. Everybody told me that I should celerbraite my age, not really the right thing to tell someone who never wanted to get older then 18. But once I turned 18 i knew that I was going to grow old. It has been almost 2 years since I turned 18. And as I egarly await my 20th birthday, I do not fear it. I am welcoming it, I have started my life new. This year is going to be the year of firsts, the first of many.
