Day 25- What I would find in your bag

At this moment in time, there are multiple things in my bag that are quite random:

My wallet, Blackberry, iPod, umbrella, The Book of Negroes by Lawrence Hill, interm report for math, a piece of paper with instructions on how the H Pylori test goes, calculator, pencil case, lipgloss, Tylenol, braces elastics, toothbrush, toothpaste, and various hair accessories.

 

 

Day 26- What you think about your friends

I love my friends, there are a few who are kind of annoying, but I’m not one who can drop friends easily. It takes a lot for me to cut friends out of my life and there has to be an incredibly good reason for it to happen. Most of the time, they come back anyway.

 

 

Day 27- Why are you doing this 30 day challenge

I’m doing this 30 day challenge because I wanted to start blogging more and get into the habit of it. That’s still impossible for me obviously, but I’m working on it.

 
Day 28- A picture of you last year and now, how have you changed since then?

I’ve lost weight (yay!), braces were installed (boo!), my hair is shorter, I’ve matured more than I thought I would, and I got a job.

I’m now ready to be out there in the world, travelling and meeting new people. Last year I wasn’t, but now I really just want to go.

I guess, I’ve just grown up. I no longer feel like a naive little girl.

 

 

Day 29- In this past month, what have you learned

I’ve learned that I’m not as able to handle stress as well as I though I could.

I’m not actually completely terrible at writing things like I thought I was.

My friends do actually care about my problems and they do care about me as much as I care about them.

My problems are worth talking about and seeking advice for.

I don’t always have to be the one helping others, I can ask for help too.

I do matter. No matter how much I think I’m not important.

 

 

Day 30- Your favorite song.

Right now:

Just The Way You Are – Bruno Mars

Hi Mom and Dad

Day 24- A letter to your parents

I don’t blame you for getting divorced. For a while I thought I did, but now I realize it’s better this way.

Thanks for being so awesome. I’m lucky to have parents like you guys, no matter how much I don’t say it. You’re a lot better than some other people’s parents that I know.

There’s not much to say other than thank you for being you and I love you.

 

<3 Courtney

My DNA

Day 21- A picture of something that makes you happy

Yes, I am being a dork again, but this is honestly my favourite movie of all time. I watch it when I’m happy, sad, needing to sleep, or just when I feel like it.

 

 

Day 22- What makes you different from everyone else

My mom’s answer: My DNA. (real original Mom…)

Sister’s answer: TOODLES MOMMAY! (Long story. If you ask nicely I may or may not tell it to you later. Or better yet, Dayna will tell you and you probably don’t even have to be nice about asking)

Dani-Anne’s answer: I looked Native when I was a baby. (True story, people in my French class thought my baby picture was Dani’s – she’s the Native one, btw. )

 

 

Day 23- Something you crave for a lot

Fishy Candies: Holy crap, they’re SO good!

 

 

 

Multiple.

Yeah, I know, I haven’t gotten to actually finishing this 30 Days of Me thing. It’s taking more like 60 days, but whatever. I’m working to much to be bothered to do anything but sleep when I get home.

Day 14- A picture of you and your family

This is the most recent:

From left to right: Dayna (sister), Lance (brother), Grandma, Mom, Me

No, it’s not all of my family, but it’s the best picture I have.
Day 15- Put your iPod on shuffle: First 10 songs that play

1) Violet Hill – Coldplay

2) Samson – Regina Spektor

3) Hey, Soul Sister – Train

4) Jersey – Mayday Parade

5) Make Her Say – Kid Cudi (ft. Common and Kanye West)

6) Double Vision – 3OH!3

7) The Dance – Charlotte Martin

8 ) Doesn’t Anybody Know – Stabilo

9) Getting Paid – Nicki Minaj

10) Touch It – Busta Rhymes (ft. lots of other people….)

Day 16- Another picture of yourself

It’s a year old, but I don’t care cause I like it. And I pretty much look the exact same. My bangs are the only thing different…
Day 17- Someone you would want to switch lives with for one day and why

Okay, that’s kind of a hard one and I’m going to be a complete nerd and say Elizabeth Bennet. And yes, that is the fictional character in Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice.

Why? Cause she’s just kind of awesome, totally knows what she wants, doesn’t need to have a man in her life to make decisions for her, and completely confident in herself. All things that I want and hope to be like.

Plus, the period she lives in is so interesting to me, and I wish I could have been born then sometimes.
Day 18- Plans/dreams/goals you have

Plans: Graduate and go to New Zealand next summer or fall

Dreams: Be happy.

Goals: Figure out what’s going on with me health-wise and then work on eating better and getting proper exercise.

Day 19- Nicknames you have; why do you have them

Court, Courtenay, Corky, Shmort, Shmort-ma-gourt…

All of them are kind of just different versions of my name cause people get too lazy to say it properly.

Day 20- Someone you see yourself marrying/being with in the future

Well, that’s kind of hard to answer seeing as I’m 17, don’t have a boyfriend, and haven’t had one for two years.

But whoever it is will be awesome, and I will love them. Duh.
