Alright, alright ~ I'll answer the questions and kind of embarrass myself. Thank you (?) Cherine for my questions that you have passed along to me =)
1. If the fire alarm would go off, and you could only save one thing, what would it be?
Fire alarm, what fire alarm? Honestly, I normally sleep through them these days! Ok ok, if I did managed to hear it, the one thing that I would save? Ok, there are two, and in the end, I would choose at the time depending on the situation I was in and how long I had. One is my Bunny (childish, I know). But I've had him for as long as I can remember, and as a young child, he went everywhere with me, even to Taiwan and Canada. So he is definitely one of them. The other one is my wooden box that has my most treasured items in it.
2. What do you want to definitely do before coming back home after the year?
Originally, I would have said "kiss a hot, foreign guy", now, however, I'm not too sure. There are a few reasons for that, ones only my close friends will know =) Umm, I want to try as much food as possible! And go skiing. I've never been skiing before, and I'm sure that I will make a total fool of myself, but I want to have fun doing it =D However, I'm sure my lovely host family will find something new for me to do!
3. Favorite place?
To be fully honest, I don't have a favourite place. I have so many absolutely wonderful memories from places all over the world, but I cannot pin point one favourite place. Others would say 'where my family is', but you don't have to be in the same place as your family for it to be your favourite place. Maybe I never will have a favourite place, but I don't mind, because if I had a favourite place, how would I be able to go out and continually try to find a 'favourite place' from different corners of the world? =)
4. Favorite quote?
Ahh, I have three!! And I can't decide, so you're getting all of them =) I must say, there are so many more I could write here, but I don't want to bore anyone
(a) "All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them" - Walt Disney
(b) "It's kind of fun to do the impossible" - Walt Disney
(c) "Yes the past can hurt, but the way I see it, you can either run from it, or learn from it" - Rafiki
5. Biggest dream?
Well, umm, I'm going to grab something off my bucket list, because it's really important to me, but, become independent. It's not really a dream I suppose, more of a goal, although it really is important to me. I want to have my own family, my own place, and be financially independent and all that grown up stuff =) That's my biggest dream.
6. The apocalypse has started, the nearest object on your left is your weapon and the person nearest to your right is your soldier mate in this war, how screwed are you?
A pillow, and Cherine -_- in other words, I'm really screwed. However, two of my friends and I were fully prepared to fend off an intruder with a giant stuffed pig, dustpan brush, and a butter knife. Cheyenne if you read this, remember the memories!
7. Something you've started to do for a long time but never got around to finishing it?
Clean my room? Hahaha, nah, now my nerd side comes out, but probably write a book. I've started so many, but just lost interest in them or not knowing what I was going to write next.
8. What will be the hardest thing about packing?
Hahahaha, oh god. My shoes. The hardest thing about packing, will be my shoes. I'm also kind of terrified about how many shoes I will buy whilst in Austria, and therefore having to bring them back to Australia! Maria, if you ever read this, you need to keep me away from shoe shops!!!
9. Favorite book?
Again, so. damn. many.!!! Ok, umm, either Tomorrow When the War Began by John Marsden, or The Curse of the Spellman's by Liza Lutz. TWTWB because it is just written so well and shows that no matter what age, if you have enough courage and passion, you really can make a difference to a situation. Curse of the Spellman's because it's just freaking hilarious. I literally laughed out loud when I read it.
10. What (not who) will you miss the most?
I love how you worded that question Cherine =D
What will I miss the most? I really don't think I can answer that until I'm actually in Austria. But I'll do my best to have a guess. I think that the thing I will miss most about Australia is Summer, and dare I say it, the beaches. I'm not really a beach person, but I think the beaches in Australia are absolutely gorgeous, especially the ones up North Queensland, mainly around Airlie Beach. I will let you know next year though what I miss the most though!
11. Have you ever actually seen a yellow duck?
NO!!!!!!!!! Why must they lie to me????? I have seen a yellow duckling, but they never grow up to be yellow ducks! The picture books lied to me! For so many years, they lied!
Now for the 11 random things about me =D ~ prepare for random guys
1. I HATE driving. With a passion. I don't know why, I just do. However, Matt's car may be the exception, if he ever let's me drive it, it will be a hell of a lot of fun! =D
2. The idea of cremation creeps me out to the total max and, in my eyes, is just horribly disgusting and no one on planet earth should ever do it. Ever. Just, no.
3. I love my job. Most people say that 'I hate going to work' or 'my job gets me money', don't get me wrong, I love the money, but the bakery team at work has such a good friendship with each other, there is never a dull or boring day =)
4. I had the most amazing, incredible time at my end of year, year 12 formal! I thank everyone who was involved for such a great time, and especially Matt for being my partner and putting up with freaking out, stress related anger towards him for the lead up to the night. And the after party, just freaking brilliant. Could not have asked for a better night =D
5. I have more than one best friend. Contrary to people's belief, it is possible to have more than one best friend. And yes, there is a mixture of guys and girls who I class as best friends. I won't mention names, because they all know who they are. I will say though how thankful I am to have them all in my life, and I wouldn't want it any other way.
6. I cannot stand the feel of moisturiser on my hands. I can't do it. Just doesn't work. I can use my fingers to apply moisturiser to my face, but that is my limit. I have to get someone else to moisturise my legs for me.
7. I have a thing with numbers, they can't be odd unless they are 5 or 21 or 13. I don't know, I can't explain it.
8. This one is extremely random, but, I don't like people touching my arse. Enough said.
9. I can be a complete blonde and ditz 95% of the time, but I'm super coordinated when it comes to netball.
10. I hate the city. Hate it. One exception; Sydney. I loved Sydney. Which is super weird cause its one of Australia's biggest cities. Maybe I just have a messed up head.
11. I have an obsession with shoes =)
On the other hand, the rest of my exchange is coming together =) all of my flights are booked, and I only have one instalment left. I've been talking to my host family and I'm really excited and eager to get to Austria!!!
Until next post.
Adios Amigos.
