Alright, so I was browsing my early journal entries, and I found this old 25 things one that I did almost 2 years ago. I've read it, but a lot of things have changed since then, so I want to do a comparison. Here is the old one from Jan 18, 2009.
Taggy thing I stole off someone.
1. I love to horseback ride - I ride a horse named Beau who I lease, so he's basically mine.
2. I am a huge crybaby. I cry over practically everything, and I always try to hold it in in front of people.
3. I used to draw a lot, but then I seemed to get suckier as time when on. Then I developed a bit of a passion for photography; I got inspired by a friend of mine.
4. I was absolutely obsessed with InuYasha in 5th grade.
5. I absolute hate attention seekers.
6. I LOVE playing video games, but it takes me a long time to really get into RPGs, which are my favourite genre.
7. I love reality TV shows like So You Think You Can Dance, American Idol and The Bachelor. /fail
8. I'm not sure if I believe in Heaven or Nothingness. I don't believe in hell, though.
9. I procrastinate. ALOT. Like, I really should be studying for exams right now.
10. I want to take photos right now, but I don't know of many good locations to shoot - plus it's winter so it's cold and the sky is always blank throughout the day.
11. I have played Harvest Moon games for probably over 300 hours, no joke.
12. I used to play many sports like soccer, basketball, cross country and volleyball, but I have grown extremely lazy, and now I only horseback ride, but I absolutely love it.
13. I don't know what I want to do with the rest of my life.
14. Sometimes I wish I could do things like play an instrument, dance or sing.
15. I can't stand reading French books.
16. I have only one friend who I can trust everything with.
17. I don't mind being at school, but I absolutely hate doing school work at home.
18. One of the worst feelings to me is when you are boiling, and you are trying to take your shirt off to change into something else, but it's STUCK TO YOU. Yeah, I just said that.
19. I have never consumed alcohol aside from a sip of wine that I almost spat out.
20. I think people who skip class and get drunk for fun are idiots.
21. I have a DSLR camera, but I do not understand over half of the settings on it. I haven't really had time to examine the instruction book.
22. I love shopping, but I am very careful with my money.
23. I hate it when I buy something then regret it later.
24. I am a very negative thinker. I think one of my biggest problems is always thinking on the downside. If I thought "I am learning" rather than "I am doing work" school would probably be less stressful.
25. Sometimes I get very frustrated with life but then I remember times when I was happy and was having fun, and it makes me want to live. Lolthatwasdeep.
Now, here's the new one, and I'm going to be talking about the same things as above, but I may have a different view on them now. here we go.
1. I still love horseback riding, and I ride twice a week, however I find it really hard to get up to the barn sometimes with school and work. I still love the horse named Beau, but I now lease a horse named Maybe. I feel like Beau has been abandoned since he rarely gets ridden, but I just felt like I had graduated from riding him and it is now time to ride a more challenging horse.
2. I still cry over stupid things, but right now I can't think of the last time I cried, so maybe I am happier and therefore crying less often?
3. I still love photography, but I haven't taken many pictures since May. It was only a few days ago when there was an amazing sunset outside my house that got me inspired to pick up my camera again, but I still haven't picked it up yet, but with fall colours everywhere I think I will soon.
4. I was absolutely obsessed with anime until grade 8. Now, I do not watch any regularly, but I have nothing against anime.
5. I don't know how to compare this one, because "attention seekers" never goes through my head anymore. Maybe I've just learned to ignore them.
6. I haven't played a video game since Mario Galaxy 2 in July. There are still many games I want to play, but I have become more social over the summer, so I don't pick up the controller very often anymore.
7. I do not fully watch So You Think You Can Dance or American Idol anymore. I am now bored of them. My favourite shows are now The Vampire Diaries, The Bachelor, and America's Next Top Model.
8. I believe in Heaven. I still don't believe in Hell.
9. I am not as much of a procrastinator as I used to be, but now I just get distracted extremely easily while doing my work, since my computer is also on my desk.
10. I think part of what made me go on photography-hiatus was that I have seen everything around my street. I still want to go somewhere specifically for photography.
11. Yes, I have played Harvest Moon for over 300 hours. Now I can add Rune Factory and Kingdom Hearts 2 to the llist of games I have played over 100 hours in a single file.
12. I still only horseback ride. I miss soccer, but I don't think I will ever play it again in a league.
13. I still don't know what I want to do with the rest of my life.
14. I wish I could dance.
15. French books no longer stress me out at all, but I just think they are a pain in the ass.
16. I have only one friend who I can trust everything with, but I have another friend who is pretty close.
17. I like school, mainly because of social opportunities. I love seeing people and getting to talk to them. I feel like 50% of school is the social aspect, and 50% is work. Remember I am only in grade 11.
18. I am still terrified of getting stuck in a shirt. In fact, it happened to me at the mall recently and my friend had to help me get the shirt off. Lmao.
19. I have drank alcohol.
20. I think people who skip class are idiots. But I like to get drunk for fun, so I guess I'm a bit of a hypocrit now. I don't get drunk every weekend though, I have only been about 5 times over 7 months.
21. I still don't think I full understand my camera.
22. I LOVE shopping, but now that I have a job I am not as careful with my money. Example, I just spent 220 canadian dollars at the mall.
23. Of course I hate buying something then regretting it. It sucks.
24. I am a very positive thinker. A big change from two years ago. I am a very happy person now in general.
25. I don't get frustrated with life, because there are so many times I remember that were fun and happy, and yeah, it makes me want to live. I really, genuinely, love life.
So I have changed a bit, and I think it was fun to compare, so if you have done this before, try updating it. It's fun to see how you have changed.
Later, guys!
