1. What happened today? If it was the last day of your life, how satisfied would you be with your final hours?

I went to Uni and had to refrain from laughing at every nice thing that came out of the mouth of someone who doesn't like me. Then we went shopping and I came home and watched me some TV. I would rather yesterday to be the last day of my life. It would be more satisfying.

2. Who are you? In comparison to who you used to be. What made you change?

I'm more private than I used to be. I'm also louder and sometimes angrier. Moving caused the change I suppose, and then I became more private because it became harder to try and trust people with things that matter.

3. Where have you been spending your time lately? Three/Five/Ten years ago would you have expected to be there?

In general or specifics. I've been in Wagga. But specifically at Uni. I expected to be at Uni 3/5/10 years ago, but I never would have got the location.

4. What do you think it means to be in love?

I don't know. Love is complex and with all honesty I'm not sure I'd recognise it in myself. I guess it means being happy, like overjoyed happy and trusting people. Caring for someone. I suppose it's also just being able to be yourself without worrying.

5. Pick a song that projects the same mood as your day or week and explain.

I'm going to just pick a line from a song because the song isn't representative:

All these things that tie us close
To what matters most
We cannot let go.

6. Talk about a recent experience that has effected you greatly and how.

No.

7. Think of the last person you hugged. What would you do if they vanished completely?

I don't know who the last person I hugged was.

8. Write about the first moment that comes to your head when you read the words “childhood memory”

Climbing the tree in the backyard.

9. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

I don't see myself in 10 years. Not in a bad way, I just can't imagine it.

10. Did you have a good day or a bad day? Where do you think that defining line was?

I've had a reasonable day. The defining line would have been the people.

11. Do you feel protective over someone?

I'm not sure I do these days. Not when they can protect themselves.

12. If you could trade places with anyone for one week, who would it be and why?

Does this have to be someone you know?

13. Where do you see your best friend in 10 years?

Where she is now, but with some kids and perhaps she'll marry the guy she's with now. Though I can't say much for a job because she does too much.

14. When you are stressed, what can you use as an outlet? Why do you think it helps you?

I tune everything out and concentrate on one thing, like music in my ears or something. It helps because it's hard to be stressed when concentration is elsewhere.

15. What do you believe in? And not just God or atheism.

I believe in dreaming. I believe in people. I believe in being happy.

16. What are you passionate about?

Quite a bit. Though I'm surely not going to give a rant because it could go for a while.

17. Who was the last person you kissed? (If you are still with them now, pick the person before them.) What would they say if they saw you now?

My, I don't know what to call him, I suppose he's an ex boyfriend but he wasn't at the time. If they saw me now I would hope they would ignore me because I would them.

18. Talk about your extended family. Why do you think they are the way they are?

I refuse to answer this.

19. If you could be anywhere in the world, but you had to be there for a certain cause, where would you be and why?

I'm not sure I can answer this. I have no particular passion to go somewhere for a cause, though if I did it would be like to help disadvantaged children.

20. Again, pick a song that projects the mood of your week or day.

I'll just throw in some more lyrics, shall I?:

And now that I'm sitting here thinking it through
I've never been anywhere cold as you

21. Look back. Why did you choose this challenge? Do you think it says anything about you?

Challenge hmm? I think it says that I was bored and didn't want to finish reading and sleep.

22. How do you think people see you? Be a little negative and a little positive.

Strange. Annoying. Frustrating. Happy.

23. Explain your life plan for the next month, then the next year, then three years, then five years.

That would take a while. How about, Uni, Uni, Uni, work.

24. Are you more social or independent? Why do you think that is?

Independent. I don't get on nicely with too many people.

25. What do you think it means to be a good parent?

Caring. Looking after the child making sure it has it's basic needs.

26. Talk about a moment where you were truly happy. What was happening? Who were you with?

I think when I found out that I got into Uni I was really happy. I wasn't with anyone though, I was like sitting in my room.

27. Is there a friend you are worried about? Why do they have you concerned? Do you think they’ll be okay?

Yeah. I'm worried they'll do something stupid because of something petty that they'll laugh about later. I think they'll be fine eventually.

28. Would you rather someone tell you the truth up front but gently, or be lied to to spare your feelings?

Grow some balls and tell the truth.

29. If you could be doing the same things you do now, only in your own way, how would a normal day in your life go?

How are things not in my own way now?

30. Look back on this last month and talk about it.

It's been alright. I've slept and read my way through most of it. Just as I'll do for the next month.
