Day 7 of 30 day challenge




Day 7 is your zodiac sign and if you think it fits your personality. I love reading my horoscopes and I love seeing if it comes true but I don't usually believe that just because we are born in a particular time of the year that we have similar personality traits. I've read about other zodiac signs and I think I have a trait or two of them all. I'm a Sagittarius by the way. One description of a Sagittarius is:



People born under this sign can be described as adventurers, always in need for space and independency. Many of them are afraid to be tamed and they constantly crave for new experiences.
Sagittarians have a very developed sense of self-respect and self-confidence. When they have a goal to be achieved they give their all energy, so sometimes they may appear too aggressive or impulsive.
Nevertheless, they can be compassionate towards other people when they want to be, especially towards the ones they care about. Sagittarius people respect morality, customs and traditions.
I am not an adventurer. LOL I do need my space though. I can't be around people all the time. It exhausts me. I think that's why I don't have people over my apartment often or ever and I can only live with my brother who is the same. I do crave new experiences but only if I can observe. I don't like to be out of my comfort zone too much. I do have a very developed sense of self respect. I think I try to respect others though more than myself. TRY being the key word. I have a moderate amount of self confidence. I like what I see in the mirror. LOL I am not that aggressive with my goals. I tend to be impulsive but not about goals. Wish I was. I definitely respect morality, customs and traditions. I am pretty old fashioned and it sometimes clashes with modern thinking. But I am compassionate towards others but more so of strangers than of people I care about. Not that I don't care about the people I love but I expect more from them and I am a bit harder on them than on a stranger. I'm not sure why. 
That was interesting and I am about half of the things a Sagittarius is supposed to be. The only thing I don't like about being a Sag is having to spell Sagittarius LOL

Day 6 of 30 day challenge!

Lol, I'm not doing very good with this 30 day challenge thing. It's taking me like 60 days. Oh well, I'm usually doing something or just not in the mood to write. Anyways, I need to clear my mind today. So, today's topic is 30 interesting facts about yourself. Here we go:

1. I graduated at age 17, not because I was smart but because I started school in Germany when I was 3 or 4. So, I was always a year younger than my classmates. Plus, my birthday is at the end of the year.

2. I'm very creative but just can't seem to get all the ideas I have out and complete them the way they appear in my head. So I usually don't do much about it.

3. I was once in an all girl band with my cousins. We never did anything professionally  but we did perform for our families every holiday. We would have dance routines and a variety of songs to perform.

4. I have a book full of songs/poems I wrote when I was a teenager. I wanted to be a songwriter but knew nothing about different instruments and the notes.

5. My favorite book is The diary of Anne Frank. I'm fascinated and appalled at the same time about the Holocaust and can't get enough about it even though it always makes me cry to read about it.

6. I desperately wish I was an athlete of some sport, especially soccer.

7. When playing the Spice Girls growing up with my cousins, I was always Posh Spice. Still secretly am. :)

8. My phone is always attached to my hand or is always in the vicinity.

9. I get anxious easily. About anything.

10. I wish I could draw realistically. I tend to draw abstractly because I'm so bad at drawing realistically.

11. I used to make alot of my own accessories and clothing when I was younger because I wasn't making my own money. I would make purses or tops out of other things I had around my room.

12. I used to wear shorts under my pants to make me look more curvy. I hated being skinny when I was younger.

13. I also used to want a nose job and a boob job when I was a teenager. I'm glad I didn't do either because I love my nose, it's like my mom's and grandfathers'. And my boobs fit me just fine.

14. I am much better at expressing myself through writing and most people nowadays don't read so I get alot of misunderstandings.

15. I have the same birthday as my boyfriend, Brad Pitt and Christina Aguilera.

16. I was very punk rock my freshman year of college.

17. I've had half my head shaved a year ago.

18. If I was able to choose my religion when I was younger, I would have chosen to be a Buddhist.

19. I am fascinated by history. I always believe I was born in the wrong era.

20. I cannot stand the sight of blood or gory violence. I once got sick at my teacher explaining a C section.

21. I wanted to be a Cosmetologist in highschool.

22. I've had a job since I was 15.

23. My dream job would be to be a fashion editor, a stylist and/or a couture designer.

24. I am super lazy. LOL

25. Laughing is seriously my favorite thing to do.

26. I believe in "if you don't use it, you lose it." I lost my rhythm. I used to dance in high school and now I can't move my hips to save my life.

27. I love flying in airplanes. I get a bit nervous flying but not bad enough to make me not want to fly.

28. I used to try to write stories. Love stories to be exact. I have a few journals with stories about love in Italy or Spain.

29. I cannot listen to music in the mornings. I have to listen to NPR or some talk radio. Music in the morning annoys me, even stuff I generally like.

30. I can't believe I found 30 things about me that I think are interesting. LOL

Day 5 of the 30 day challenge!

This subject is very touchy. Think of a time when you thought about taking your own life. I think at one point or another we all have. I don't have a specific time because I was taught that if you do take your own life, you go to hell. Kinda severe but true. I have wanted to be dead. Those times when you are so hurt that you don't think there is any way you will ever be happy. They come and go though. Nothing and no one is worth taking your life over. Everyone's life is priceless. I don't think it is our job to take our souls from this world. I think that's all I want to say one this subject...
