I am sure the blog was starting to feel a bit neglected, so I have decided to show it a bit of love and write a new blog post.
I have decided to write about things and people that I love. Some of these include the following...
I love Music.
Music I could not live without, it cheers me up when I'm Sad and/or Stressed and calms me down when I'm angry.
Some music I love at this current moment includes...
- Christina Perri
- Glee
- Florence + The Machine
- Muse
- Regina Spektor
- Demi Lovato
I love Livewire.
Livewire is an Australian website run by The Starlight Children's Foundation for Teens between the ages of 13 and 21 with Chronic Illness or Disabilities. I have now been a member for about three or four years and have many friends that I have met on the site. The website has a Chatroom, articles to read and blogs written by members of the site. Livewire helps so much when you are feeling sad or just plain sick and you want something to distract you or people to cheer you up. Everyone on Livewire is really supportive and there is always people online if you want to have a good chat.
If you want to know more and you are a teen in Australia, go to www.livewire.org.au and there is information available for you to read about the site.
I Love Strange things.
Ok, that heading might be a smidge misleading but i do like some things that people find weird.
I absolutely love Coloured Stockings. Pink, Blue, Green, Purple... it doesn't matter, if they are bright and colourful I love 'em. I think it started when I was in year 11 (or the age 16 for the clueless) and I watched Angus, Thongs & Perfect Snogging, and in the last few minutes of the movie the main character is wearing a Denim Skirt with... i think it was purple, stockings. So then I became obsessed with Purple Stockings and looked everywhere for them, in one shop to another, until I did find the Coveted Purple Stockings. Of course I had to buy them. But the obsession didn't stop there, the next colours to come were Pink, Blue & Yellow. I am determined to get more colours as soon as I find them, so watch out everyone!
Ok, I don't love as many strange things as I thought...
I Love Keys.
Keys. Ok, there is a story behind this but don't worry it's really short...
One day I found this book called, wait for it, 'Lock and Key' by Sarah Dessen and the main character of the story wears a house key on a chain around her neck. For some reason, I became obsessed with the idea and wanted a key necklace. For years afterwards, i started searching for the 'right' key necklace. I did, however, find that necklace but I will continue loving key necklaces as long as they are sold.
I Love My Home.
Ok, this one is pretty universal. My home, is located in the Sunny State of Queensland, Australia and I have lived here all my life. Well I have moved cities, once, but I can't remember that as I was too young...
When I went over to Western Australia on Holidays in September this year, I got really depressed and started getting 'Homesick' even with the fact that my whole family was over there with me. I don't know why I love my city so much, it drives me crazy for the lack of disability support and lack of stuff to do for those who don't drink, but I still love it to pieces. I could never move or I would just come running back. So yeah, I love my home <3
So this is the end of Part One of this list, I'll post another list later on... I promise. :)
So thanks for reading,
Ashleigh xoxo
