Day 19

Day 19- Nicknames you have; why do you have them

Candi - is pretty obvious. Its short for Candida - and much easier for people

Floss - follows on from Candi really

Candi Dandy Notebook - rhyming is fun, and even better if you can relate it to something from Blues Clues

I dont really have anything fun that I can think of............. nothing that has stuck anyway :)

Day 18

Day 18- Plans/dreams/goals you have

- One day - I really do want to get married and have kids. No matter how screwed up my childhood was, I still want that whole traditional family thing

- I want to own an Alaskan Malamute, a Great Dane, and a Maine Coon at some point :)

- To get fit and healthy and be happy with the way I am (this could take some time...)

- To work in a zoo as a nurse - that would be cool

Day 17

Day 17- Someone you would want to switch lives with for one day and why

Honestly - some sort of animal trainer that works with wild animals. Or anyone that gets to like cuddle a big cat eg cheetah or tiger or something. Just would love to do that, if only once in my life :)

Day 13

Day 13- A letter to someone who has hurt you recently

Hmmmm
Theres the letter I always imagine writing to my mum. But that probably doesnt count as someone who hurt me recently.

Probably Sarah - the English chick at work, who makes me want to slap her, and is the main motivation behind me doing boxing on a Friday (as Thursday nights with her are utter hell!!)
Just to tell her to get over herself and stop acting like such a bitch really

Day 12

Day 12- How you found out about Blogger and why you made one

My friend Emma had one and it seemed like a good progression from my old Live Journal one that I had
I wanted an outlet to rant and write and to try to be creative...

Day 11- Another picture of you and your friends
Me and other best friend (I class her more as my sister) Amy - this was 2007 before a friend's 21st

Day 10

Day 10- Songs you listen to when you are Happy, Sad, Bored, Hyped, Mad

Happy - pretty much any Justin Timberlake or songs from Step Up 2 - eg T Pain 'Church', and Lonely Island Boys songs - eg Im on a Boat. Oh or Glee songs :)

Sad - Jeff Buckley or Josh Groban generally

Bored - almost anything. Glee usually cos it relieves the boredom

Hyped - same as Happy songs really - sing along songs

Mad - Bullet for My Valentine, Breaking Benjamin, Tool - that sort of thing

Day 9

Day 09- Something you’re proud of in the past few days

Kicking arse at boxing - I discovered that in the 3 or 4 weeks Ive been going, Ive lost 10cms from my waist and Im stoked

Getting to do more at work and not crumbling under the pressure - loved it :)

Day 8

Day 08- Short term goals for this month and why

go to the gym more - Ive been getting great results from boxing and thats only once a week - so imagine what I could achieve if I actually went more...

Learn a few more recipes - I like learning new things to cook and tasting new stuff - trying to branch out :)

Get myself into a routine where I am being more productive - eg doing dishes before work and tidying up and stuff - since this is our place and the whole place is under our control. Gah

Day 7

Day 07- A picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on you

 Dont have a lot of photos of my dad - but he is amazing and my everything basically. That is all :)

Day 6

Day 06- Favorite super hero and why

It used to be Spiderman - simply because he can do cool shit - plus he's the only one that is truly in disguise - you cant see a single part of him because he is completely covered - and that is pretty cool

But as I have grown up - I think it has to be Batman. He is the man, and he does it all without any actual super powers. He wasnt bitten by a spider, or born on another planet. He trained out of anger and vengenance and now saves the world. Its awesome. The fact that he is generally played by people who are hot (eg George Clooney and especially Christian Bale) really probably helps too :)

 Where the polar bears live at Sea World on the Gold Coast in Australia :)

Day 4

Day 04- A habit that you wish you didn’t have

Only one??

Eating junk food - I love it and cant help it.
Being lazy and avoiding the gym
Kicking myself for not being great at things - its not very helpful to myself really
Procrastination - one day i'll get round to kicking this habit...

Day 2

Day 02- The meaning behind your Blog name

Ummm my username is Aurora - which is a Foo Fighters song that I love - and also I love stars
'Must I dream and always see your face' is a line from a Jeff Buckley song that has always been cool and that I love

Writing this makes me want to change my blog name now....

Day One

Day 01- A recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself

 This is the most recent.

15 things... Really? Worth a try

1. Favourite animal is a polar bear. Almost to the point of being obsessed with them... I would love to see one in real life

2. The reason I am a vet nurse and not a vet is not due to lack of intelligence (well I guess it could be...), or from not wanting to do 5 years extra study, but because I hate the feel of cutting into things. Freaks me out to cut into raw meat even sometimes. Dont like it. Not good at dissecting stuff.

3. Before studying vet nursing, I was considering either becoming a mechanic or a statistics teacher, or general primary teacher. Or zookeeper, which makes more sense

4. I have a BCom in Marketing - not sure what for or what I will ever do with it....

5. I am starting to think that secretly I actually do want a relationship with my mother, but not sure if I can due to all the shit that has gone down, and if I can truly be bothered

6. I have recently started Boxing training - and I freaking love it. Not to the point of fights or stuff like that, but man I love it. It is empowering and fun and so great

7. I have weighed over 100kgs for far too long now and it depresses the hell out of me (are any of these facts actually interesting??)

8. I love cooking and experimenting, but I hate if it doesnt turn out well - can not stand being bad at anything lol

9. The first person I was ever with intimately, passed away in 2003 and it still haunts me....

10. I cant honestly decide if I prefer cats or dogs..........

11. I love Glee - love it!

12. I have no belief in myself - and I love singing but am so scared of doing it in front of anyone, including singing teachers which is probably why I always give up on having lessons

13. I love watching Americas and NZ's Next Top Model

14. I already have 7 tattoos and if I could I would have a million more

15. I have a cat named Diesel, who embarrasingly, is part named after Vin Diesel haha
