Day 22: What makes you different from everyone...
Well, the fact that I’m me, obviously. I’m one of a kind. Nobody else out there has even come close to being as awesome as me.
Thank fuck for that. Don’t think the world could cope if that happened.
Day 20: Someone you see yourself marrying/being...
I’ll know when it happens! Unless you know in your heart that the person you’re with is the one you want to stay with, this isn’t something you can predict. I’m looking forward to the mystery, excitement and happiness of being able to experience this thing all over again. I have no idea, and that’s what I love! Throwing caution to the wind and taking the risk.
If...
Day 19: Nicknames you have; why do you have them
Mepsi Pax - anyone ever play the original Conker’s Bad Fur Day on N64? Yeah, from that. I’ve been addicted to Pepsi Max since…forever, and it’s a well-known fact amongst my real-world and online friends. Hence the nickname! One of my best mates started calling me it after hearing it in the game, and it stuck since. Made it on to my Year 12 jumper too.
A’Claire -...
Day 18: Plans/dreams/goals you have
1. Travel - all of my friends have taken time off from study/life and travelled to some amazing places, in particular overseas. While I have visited Singapore and several parts of Asia, and been around most parts of Australia, I still feel I haven’t fully achieved this goal. I want to go beyond, I want the experience of travelling with my friends - something I’ve never done before -...
Day 17: Someone you would want to switch lives...
In all honesty?
My kitty, Misty. All she does is eat, sleep, play and get a tonne of love and cuddles, without having to lift a paw. Look at that adorable face. Who wouldn’t want to live like her for a day?
Day 16: Another picture of yourself
Got sucked in to a free modelling shoot a couple of years ago. Was nice to get my hair and makeup all professionally done at least, I’ve lost a bit of weight since then, and my eyes are a brighter blue in the original, but I still kinda like the photo. Even if I did get sucked in by the sales pitch… >_> *facepalm*
Day 15: Put your iPod on shuffle - first 10 songs...
Oooh! I love doing these ones! Sharing music with people is something I love doing - hit me up if you need some recommendations, and I’d love to hear some of yours too! =]
Manifesto - The Cat Empire
Spawn - george
Hey Baby - No Doubt
Where Are You Now? - Michelle Branch
A Whisper - Coldplay
In My Eyes - Robyn
I Want To Hold Your Hand - The Beatles
Born For This (live) - Paramore
...
Day 14: A picture of you and your family
There’s no one photo of all of us that I particularly like, so here’s several with various members of my crazy clan.
With my sisters at my cousin’s Hen’s Night last year. One of the best things about moving to Melbourne was being closer to them again - they are my closest friends and I don’t know what I’d do without them.
With the folks at my 21st (a few...
Day 13: A letter to someone who has hurt you...
My heart and soul are simple, but that doesn’t mean I’m stupid. Yes, I know I trust and forgive way too easily sometimes, but where is life without the risk? I want a clean slate, I want to start over again just as friends. Nothing more. The fact is that I rarely click with people, so when I do I will fight to the death before I ever let them go. Even if they have hurt me. I’m...
angelsabkatie asked: I also loved and just want to reblog your Biggest Impact post for mine. ;) hehehe
Oh, btw i'm still jealous you have your Tayfarers! :P
Hurry up summer!! lol

lovezactually asked: I'm not exactly asking, I am just wanting to say I love your 'Biggest Impact' Tumblr.

Day 12: How you found out about Tumblr and why you...
Tumblr I found out about like pretty much everything else - I heard someone talking about it. Or in this case, Tweeting about it. I’m a social networking addict (yeah, no life, I know…), so if it’s some kind of even mildly narcissistic medium where I can vent my spleen to anybody who doesn’t really want to listen but doesn’t have anything better to do then I shall...
Day 11: Another picture of you and your friends
What can I say? I’m all class.
Day 10: Songs you listen to when you are Happy,...
I could make a whole list of songs! So I’m gonna go more with artists for most of these. Feel free to ask me to elaborate on any of them if you want to know.
Happy
The Cat Empire. Aslyn. Hanson. Röyksopp.
Sad
Gravity - Sara Bareilles. Coldplay.
Pretty self-explanatory
Bored
Vanessa Carlton or Brooke Fraser. Not bored in a bad way, but because they’re beautiful artists who...
Day 09: Something you’re proud of in the past few...
I haven’t really done anything to be proud of over the past few days, let alone the past few months. Harsh it sounds, I know, but that was why my previous post was so long.
But I guess I could say I’m proud of the fact I’ve started to clear out a lot of the physical clutter from my life. Mementos from the past I had no reason to be hanging on to went out with last week’s...
Day 08: Short-term goals for this month and why
1. Live healthier.
Not that I’m eating badly, I just have a terrible, horrible addiction to peanut butter at the moment. Need to drop the peanut butter habit. I’m also finding excuses not to go to the gym, which I shouldn’t be doing! Should find a gym/exercise buddy to help me stay motivated. Any volunteers?
2. Start cooking proper dinners again.
I love cooking, I’ve...
Day 07- A picture of someone/something that has...
Yes, I like Hanson. I always have, and I always will. Isaac, Taylor, Zac (L-R) and their passion for the music, to share it with the world regardless of what other people might say or do otherwise, and the genuine fun and enjoyment they so obviously have in doing so, have had the most incredible impact on my life like you wouldn’t believe. I’ve never even met them before and only ever...
Day 06: Favorite superhero and why
In all honesty, I’ve never really understood the concept of a “superhero”. Call me a realist or a pessimist, but there isn’t any one person or thingy who is going to appear at the first sign of impending disaster and save your life, save the world. Whether you like it or not, what happens happens for a reason and teaches us how we should improve or change the rest of our...
Day 05: A picture of somewhere you’ve been to
East Coast, Singapore
Been there three times. My parents lived there for several years as part of my Dad’s job, and absolutely loved it there. If not for the economic crisis and the subsequent decision by the company to move them back to Australia, then I’m sure they’d still be there.
It’s an amazing country - so small, yet so vastly multicultural and one of the major...
Day 04: A habit that you wish you didn’t have.
They say the first sign of madness is talking to yourself. By that logic I should be thrown in the loony bin. I don’t know when it started, and I don’t know why I do it, but I talk to myself. All the time.
Technically speaking, when I do this I’m not actually talking to myself. Not to imaginary friends either - I’m having animated conversations with either particular...
Day 03: A picture of you and your friends
Taken on my birthday (last year) and I might have been drunk and I might not entirely remember this being taken. I do have more friends than this though… (honest)
Day 02- The meaning behind your Tumblr name
‘southAussie’ is a username I’ve basically trademarked across most forums I have posted on. (Google search - anything you find will probably be me!) So I’ve been using it for probably close to ten years now.
Why yes, I did make this! ^_^
I was proud of it at the time. I have no idea when exactly I started using it, but it kinda stuck. But I’m not a...
Let's get this thing started...
Day 01: A recent picture and 15 interesting facts about yourself
I have a big smile. I never realised that…
A recent picture was hard to find. Granted, I think that’s more to do with the fact I hate most photos taken of me. Oh wait, I should keep going. FOCUS! Fifteen facts? Let’s give this a try…
1. Cannot survive without...

Going to try and do this starting tomorrow…cause I don’t know what else to do with this thing as yet!

[WARNING: rant of the heart]
Whoever said that having loved and lost is better than not having loved at all is kidding themselves. It only makes you more painfully aware of what you no longer have.
The butterflies.
The smiles that you have no control over.
Shithouse days being all but forgotten as soon as you are with them again.
The lingering hugs you just melt in to.
Having someone to be there for.
That indescribable...
