So I'm not sure how many of you have heard about something called the 30 Days of Truth. It's a challenge where you are given 30 topics, and you're supposed to write truthful answers to them, then post them online. I haven't been able to find who created it or why, but it seemed like an interesting topic. I'm not positive I'll do them all, and I probably won't do them every day. But i did want to post them on here in case anyone wanted to do them as well. I'll just answer one when I want to write, or when I have no topic, or when I just want to be truthful. So here's the list:
1. Something you hate about yourself
2. Something you love about yourself.
3. Something you have to forgive yourself for.
4. Something you have to forgive someone else for.
5. Something you hope to do in your life.
6. Something you hope you never have to do.
7. Someone who has made your life worth living for.
8. Someone who has/had made your life hell.
9. Someone you didn’t want to let go, but just drifted.
10. Someone you need to let go, or wish you didn’t know.
11. Something people seem to compliment you the most on.
12. Something you never get compliments on.
13. A band or artist that has gotten you through some tough ass days. (write a letter.)
14. A letter to a hero that has let you down.
15. Something or someone you couldn’t live without, because you’ve tried living without it.
16. Someone or something you definitely could live without.
17. A book you’ve read that changed your views on something.
18. Your views on gay marriage.
19. What do you think of religion? Or what do you think of politics?
20. Your views on drugs and alcohol.
21. (scenario) Your best friend is in a car accident and you two got into a fight an hour before. What do you do?
22. Something you wish you hadn’t done in your life.
23. Something you wish you had done in your life.
24. Make a play-list to someone, and explain why you chose all the songs. (Just post the titles and artists and letter).
25. The reason you believe you’re still alive today.
26. Have you ever thought about giving up on life? If so, when and why?
27. What’s the best thing going for you right now?
28. What if you were pregnant, what would you do?
29. Something you hope to change about yourself. And why.
30. A letter to yourself, tell yourself EVERYTHING you love about yourself.
I'll try and answer as many of them as I can, because it really is something I find interesting. I'll title them all "30 days of truth", that way, if you don't want to read them, you can skip it as soon as you see the title.

Things I want to do in 2011
Two updates in a week....I'm spoiling you guys!!
I decided I wanted to do a list of all the things that I want to do next year. Now, not all of these are realistic, so don't go crazy when you read them and txt me telling me I'm retarded. They're just things that I would love to do, or learn, or go visit. I'm hoping to get a few of them done this year, not all.
1. I want to learn a new language. I'm thinking something completely different. Maybe Mandarin or Russian or something crazy like that. I'd like to learn Latin, but that seems kinda pointless considering I wouldn't be able to use it anywhere.
2. I want to write a full, multi-chaptered story. I have tons of ideas, plots, and characters all written down, but for some reason I never finish the story. Hopefully this year I will.
3. I want to go somewhere far. I'm not talking about Muskoka or even B.C or anything. I'm talking China, Macchu Picchu, Spain, Brazil, Egypt....somewhere new, far, and interesting.
4. I want to decorate my apartment. I'd like to paint the washrooms, get a new TV, a sound system, matching bedroom set, do the kitchen. Soooo much I want to do.
5. I want to go back to school. There's a million things I'd like to do and that I'd be interested in, but I think I should stick to something I know I can do well in. So I'm aiming for Communications at York, on a part-time basis. It'd take me longer, but I'd really like to get it.
6. I want to update my blogs more often. I have a bunch of them, and I'd like to decide which ones I want to do and stick to those. The soccer one is pretty popular, so I should def stick to that one, and the new one I'm doing about living on my own is pretty good too. So I'm going to aim for two updates a week to start.
7. I want to be someone who is decisive and can say what she wants. I know some of you already think I'm like that, but there are many times where that description is the furthest thing from me as you can get. I'd really like to change that.
8. I want to go to more concerts. I love concerts, and I don't think I go to enough of them. It doesn't matter if they're band I've never seen live before, or if they're the same one as always...I just need more concerts.
9. I want to take some sort of fitness class. Yoga, kickboxing, capoiera...there are lots to choose from. The Axe Capoiera gym is next to my work, so I might look into that one.
10. I'd like to lose more weight, but me and the gym aren't really friends. So maybe a class and Insanity will work. I'm also going to start the diet again, the one I did a year ago that helped me lose weight. Losing another 40 lbs would be amazing. So 40 is my goal. I'd like to be able to buy some nice skirts and tops when the summer comes around and not feel gross.
11. I want to cross at least three things of my list of things to do before I die. So maybe some skydiving, swimming with dolphins, hugging a panda, learning to surf or horseback ride. It's a long list, as most of you know, and I need to work on it a little more. So at least three crossed off this year is the goal.
12. I want to make new friends, maybe some that live downtown. Not that there's any wrong with my friends (well, not more than usual), but it'd be nice to have people nearby. Everyone I know lives out in Mississauga, and considers it a hassle to come down here. So meeting a few people to hang out with here would be great.
So that's my list. I'm sure I could come up with a million more things I want to do, but I think if I can do half of those, then 2011 will be a good year.

One day, I'll be awesome at updates. One day.
Hallo all!!
So, clearly, I fail on the updtes. On all my blogs. But anyways, I figured I should let everyone know what's going on in my life. If you don't care, well, then why are you on this blog?? If you care, read on!!
So, still living downtown with my roommate, Benny. Thankfully, it's still going well. We don't want to kill each other (at least, I hope she doesn't secretly plot my death!!), and we get along 95% of the time. My Christmas tree is up, but it's only half decorated. I'm not sure I'll finish it, it looks fine the way it is. At least for this year :)
Matt and I are still good, although I'm kinda sad and upset that he won't be here for New Year's. I'm not the kind of person that needs to be with her bf at every kind of holiday or notable calendar date (like Valentine's), but NYE is kinda important to me. Also, I wasn't really in a party mood, so I kinda wanted to spend the night relaxing with him, eating munchies and watching movies or something. But oh, well. I'll now be going to Robin's and drinking incredible amounts of rum. Not that it won't be a great time, 'cause I'm sure it will, but it wasn't how I wanted to spend my night. I was gonna stay home and watch movies anyways, but then I realized that it would just depress the fuck out of me to spend NYE alone. So drinking it is :) Unless I decide I'd rather spend it alone. Or maybe Matt will be back early?? I'd even be willing to pick him up from his parents' place if he wanted me to!! I doubt it, but I can hope :) But other than that, things are good, I think. Unless it turns out he's secretly plotting my death too.
Moving on, I'm working now. I work at a start-up software company called Vengeo. It's a pretty cool place, and the program they make is kinda awesome. It's called PiPe, and it's like a mix of PowerPoint and Adobe. It's easy to learn to use, and makes some kick ass newsletters and websites and presentations. I like it a lot. It's def much easier than Illustrator, although it doesn't have the same features. But you also get a profile that doubles as a webpage, so yay for free hosting :)
Also, I now do their newsletter. I research for it, write most of it, and put it all together. So all of you really should check it out. I put in a considerable amount of time and effort, so it would be great if everyone could just take a look through it, maybe sign up for the next one. There's also a Facebook group, which I update, so feel free to join :) The link for the newsletter is http://www.vengeo.com/Vengeo_Thread/Vol1_Iss17_Christmas
Anyways, I get two weeks off for the holidays, and I don't know what I'm going to do with myself. Matt's gonna be gone, my mom is working, and all my friends are working or have family things. Maybe I'll catch up on shows?? I have been meaning to watch Big Bang Theory. And Walking Dead. And a British show called Shameless. Or maybe a movie marathon. And some cleaning, and some laundry. And maybe learning new recipes. Oooh, and learning a new language. I want to learn either Russian or Mandarin. I'm gonna see which one makes more sense to me and go for that one. We'll see how it goes. Or maybe I'll just work on one of my many stories. I spend so much time working on characters and plots and worlds....and then I don't go anywhere with it. I'm gonna try harder!!!
Anyways, I'm off now. Go check out my newsletter!! It'll make me super happy!! And it's awesome, I swear. Also, we have a contest to win four gold tickets to leafs vs. canadiens. Sign up!! And if you win, take me with you :)
Okie, bye bye.
