Personality Disorders
People with histrionic personality disorder are constant attention seekers. They need to be the center of attention all the time, often interrupting others in order to dominate the conversation. They use grandiose language to discribe everyday events and seek constant praise. They may dress provacatively or exaggerate illnesses in order to gain attention. Histrionics also tend to exaggerate friendships and relationships, believing that everyone loves them. They are often manipulative.
Narcissistic personality disorder is characterized by self-centeredness. Like histrionic disorder, people with this disorder seek attention and praise. They exaggerate their achievements, expecting others to recongize them as being superior. They tend to be choosy about picking friends, since they believe that not just anyone is worthy of being their friend. Narcissists tend to make good first impressions, yet have difficulty maintaining long-lasting relationships. They are generally uninterested in the feelings of others and may take advantage of them.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA oh man....
& the moderate ones:
A common misconception is that antisocial personality disorder refers to people who have poor social skills. The opposite is often the case. Instead, antisocial personality disorder is characterized by a lack of conscience. People with this disorder are prone to criminal behavior, believing that their victims are weak and deserving of being taken advantage of. Antisocials tend to lie and steal. Often, they are careless with money and take action without thinking about consequences. They are often agressive and are much more concerned with their own needs than the needs of others.
Many believe that schizotypal personality disorder represents mild schizophrenia. The disorder is characterized by odd forms of thinking and perceiving, and individuals with this disorder often seek isolation from others. They sometimes believe to have extra sensory ability or that unrelated events relate to them in some important way. They generally engage in eccentric behavior and have difficulty concentrating for long periods of time. Their speech is often over elaborate and difficult to follow.
well that was interesting. :P

I like to take personality tests when I procrastinate...
http://psychcentral.com/personality-patterns/ TRY IT :)
Aesthetic
You appreciate art, beauty, and design; you know that they are not superficial but absolutely crucial to living the good life. You have good taste, and you're proud of it. Those with a high score on the "aesthetic" trait are often employed in literary or artistic professions, enjoy domestic activities — doing things around the house — and are enthusiastic about the arts, reading, and travel.
You don't think it's pretentious to be moved by art and beauty. You're not one of those who believe it doesn't matter what something looks like as long as it does its job.
Intellectual
You are thoughtful, rational, and comfortable in the world of ideas. People find you interesting to talk to. You're the living embodiment of the saying "You learn something new every day." In general, those with a high score on the "intellectual" trait are employed in such fields as teaching and research, and are enthusiastic about reading, foreign films, and classical music.
You do not avoid abstract conversation, experimenting with new ideas, or studying new things. It bores you to stick to the straight and narrow of what you already know.
Original
You are constantly coming up with new ideas. For you, the world as it exists is just a jumping-off place; what's going on inside your mind is often more interesting than what's going on outside.
You don't feel that the road to success is to be a realist and stick to the program; you never stop yourself from coming up with new ideas or telling the world what you're thinking about.
Curious
You like to get to the bottom of things. You're not content knowing what someone did; you want to know why they did it.
You don't simply take things as they are and move on; you're not content skimming along on the surface; you don't feel you're wasting time by digging for the meaning of things.
Innovative
You come up with a lot of ideas; if one doesn't work out, there's always another waiting in the wings. You often have interesting solutions to difficult problems. You're practically a one-person brainstorming session.
You are less interested changing the world than in dealing with things as they are. Unlike those who spend all their time trying to solve problems, you prefer to zero in on things that work and stick with them.
Loose
You feel that a clean, orderly desk is the sign of a person who doesn't have enough to do. Schedules and "to do" lists feel stifling; you thrive on a sense that anything goes, and know that the world won't end if you don't clean up after finishing a job.
You don't need to know that everything is in its place; it is not empowering to you to feel that the world around you is neat and organized. Mowing down every item on your "to do" list, every day, does not bring you joy.
Assertive
You behave in a confident and forceful manner, take charge of the situation, raise your hand in class, stand up for what you think is right, and lead others. Among those who have a high score on the "assertive" trait, many have jobs in which they are valued for their organizational skills as well as their talent for supervising others.
You are not interested in fading into the woodwork, leaving everything to fate, taking more time than necessary to accomplish a task, or avoiding confrontation.
Organized
You like to think a task through before you embark on it. If it's the slightest bit complicated, you make a list (even if it's only in your mind) and methodically work your way through it. When you have a goal in mind, you're not satisfied until you reach it.
You are not one of those people who ignore the details, and you don't understand how anyone can get anything accomplished without thoughtful planning ahead of time.
Optimistic
You are a "glass half-full" kind of person, always on the lookout for the silver lining. Your happiness is contagious, which is why others like to be around you.
You do not feel that the world is an intrinsically depressing place; you are not the kind of "realist" who thinks that only fools find joy in life.
Creative
You are good at solving problems, coming up with original ideas, and seeing connections between things, connections that most other people miss. People with a high score on the "creative" trait often are employed in such fields as finance and scientific research, and enjoy avant garde and classical music as well as literary fiction and scholarly non-fiction.
You do not shun abstractions and concepts in favor of the concrete and tangible.

songs that remind me of stuff
I'm gonna copy Billy's blog... Songs that I can think of that are somehow meaningful or remind me of other things :)
Kurt Schneider/Jake Bruene -- Iris: Being sick with food poisoning in bed on Christmas Eve in Normandy. Also his cover of I will follow you into the dark (Death Cab for Cutie) also reminds me of that. And most of my Yellowcard songs. But even though it was such an awful time listening to these songs make my heart a little warmer and I actually feel nostalgia :)
Flo-rida -- Low: For some reason this song has so many nostalgic and sentimental memories attached to it and I really cannot remember nor understand why. It makes me think of so many good times with friends and having fun hahahahhaa, weirdly enough.
Chris Brown -- With You: Kahunui 2008. Also not immediately obvious, I think it's because it was in the mix cd someone made for the van on the ride to Whakatane for grocery shopping. Other songs that remind me of Kahunui include Forever (Chris Brown) and Move Shake Drop (DJ Laz).... yeah it was an interesting month :P
LIGHTS -- My Boots: Actually any LIGHTS songs remind me of Maplestory because I had them on loop for hours on end while mapling at the end of last year.
Kim Wilde -- Kids of America: One of my childhood friends really liked this songs to the point where she actually made up new lyrics to go with our own lives lol. This was in like year 5. It reminds me of all the times we played neopets together and how we almost made a doujinshi of ourselves in the digimon world hahahaha such imaginative geeky kids :D
FFX -- 1000 Words: Year 5 and 6 when I went thru a FF phase (which is funny because I was still a sony virgin) and listened to this song as well as Real Emotion and To Zanarkand on repeat every day. And I talked to David a lot during this time cos we were fanboy/girling together and we used to use Al Bhed translators to talk hahahhahaha... yes indeed a geeky childhood TT
Britney Spears -- Toxic: Reminds me of the colour purple. When I saw the music video I thought that it didn't fit the song at all cos of my own construed ideas lol. And it reminds me of year 6 and how Kelly hated Britney Spears and it made me think of the day when I came to school and everyone was depressed cos Longson said something to Kelly or something and then half the class was crying and I had no idea wtf was going on...
Bon Jovi -- Livin' on a Prayer: Reminds me of year 5 and 6 again when NZ Idol was on haha. And during the final both the finalists sang it. And it was really catchy so Lucee and I would get it stuck in our heads for days and days...
Jason Mraz -- I'm Yours : Reminds me of airports because I associate it with Lucee leaving for the first time 2 years ago... Also 彩虹(Jay Chou). Last time when I was leaving for France it was actually playing in the airport and I smiled to myself hehe.
Kelly Clarkson -- Behind these Hazel Eyes: A family holiday with Lucee when we were singing this together haha. Holy crap that was ages ago. Actually why do Lucee and I have so many music related memories o.o it's uncanny. I might as well list the other songs that remind me of her tbh...
Boys Like Girls -- Love Drunk: Cruising the highway in USA driving from Vegas to LA. How glamourous right. I accidentally set my ipod on repeat one and fell asleep hahaahaha
Far*East Movement -- Rocketeer: Driving in semi-rain fog at 3am in the morning from mission bay towards the city... the slightly blurry fuzzy lights from far away were like the lights of a dreamworld. Cool summer air and open windows and getting our arms kinda wet but not really... such a nice memory
Linkin Park -- In Pieces: Yujie and year 9 tech. Oh man she left the lyrics EVERYWHERE.... and it makes me think of food tech especially cos she drew a lot of doodles in my folder and then she got into this big folder drawing war with laina... :D good times
Aladdin -- A Whole New World: Singstar. Yunbin's house. 3am in the morning, over and over and over and over and over.... and me in the other room trying to sleep and having dreams about flying carpets CHYEAH. And that reminds me of all the memories in Yunbin's house, like David trying to spike my drink and me running away, and mahjong, and getting headaches from alcohol, and failing to boil water, and all that good stuff :)
杨臣刚 -- 老鼠爱大米: My favourite song as a little kid. I used to sing this all the time apparently, and I demanded that it was the only song that we ever played at home... and then we lost the CD. and then a few years ago I heard it playing on the radio I was like DAD! WHAT SONG IS THIS!?!!?!? IT SOUNDS SO FAMILIAR... and then my dad told me the story of me when i was a little kid hahaha.
Vanilla Ice -- Ice Ice Baby: Everytime I hear this song I think of Laina dancing to this in year 6, even though I wasn't ever there to witness it. I guess people have talked about it so much that I've... created a memory for myself??? LOL
And then there are songs that just remind me of important people in the past haha. They might not have as much meaning for me now, but they still make me think of them... But I won't say who goes with which songs :P
白色风车 (Jay Chou), Bolero (Maurice Ravel), Beautiful Soul (Jesse McCartney), I don't want to miss a thing (Aerosmith), Lovefool (The Cardigans), Waiting for the End (Linkin Park), Right here waiting (Richard Marx), In My Head (Jason Derulo), Don't phunk with my heart (Black Eyed Peas), Cosmic Love (Florence+The Machine), Light Surrounding You (Evermore)
Hmmmmmmmm cbf thinking of any more but there are heaps ><

hooooly crap I am so bored
7 Deadly Sins Meme... stolen from yujie
1) I'm awesome. That's all that needs to be said.
2) Tbh after the first one I don't really know what else to put. I guess I'll be specific? Well, I guess I'm pretty unique personality-wise. But a lot of people are like that so yeah, I don't like to feel too special. People have said that I am pretty atypical tho :) I mean who else camps in front of their computer on a Sunday night and types up large blocks of texts onto a blog because they have no friends?
3) I'm also great because I'm so forgiving I suppose. Sometimes I guess that could be used against me, but I reckon that's alright. Most of the time people deserve second chances. I don't like holding grudges against people, and at least if I don't like hanging out with someone I have the common sense to, you know, not hang around them.
4) I lead a pretty balanced life. I value the work that needs to be done quite highly, but I wouldn't consider myself to be a workaholic. I often say that I would not lose sleep over anything work related, and I stand by that. Relaxing and enjoying life is very important to me. Education is important, but it's not the most important thing in life. Actually several people have noticed this about me haha, so I guess it's a good trait.
5) I'm very open minded. I'm pretty much accepting of anything out of the ordinary, and I like to think that I respect other people's opinions. Well I hope so anyway, but I'm only human.
6) I'm fucking smart. Had to be said. -arrogant sniff-
7) I have a sense of humour! Oh goshhh haha how would I survive without being able to laugh at myself? :) I stuff up way too much to not laugh at all my mistakes haha. I guess as a result of that I'm also easygoing and don't really mind when people mock me :P which they do ofc. all the time.
Part 2 - Envy. Seven things you lack and covet.
1) Some hot rich tall boyfriend.
2) Actually, just money without the boyfriend would be alright too.
3) The ability to swim
4) Passion for something
5) Willpower and motivation
6) Looks. Well tbh I don't have that many problems with the way I look but hey since you asked I might as well ask for a 10/10 worthy appearance ;)
7) Everlasting youth
Part 3 - Wrath. Seven things that piss you off.
1) Ignorance and narrowmindedness
2) Consumerism. I hate how the world is wasting its resources to maintain the constant flow of money. It makes no sense on a global scale or as a system. People are just too caught up in it already that it seems like it's too late to do anything about it though sigh.
3) Irrationality
4) Discrimination based on sex/race/religion/whatever else there is. Actually today when I was in town a white guy muttered "chang chang china" a few times as we walked past. I was so tempted to turn around, flip him off, tell my friends to hold my shit while I went and beat him up while ranting and being extremely racist towards white people. But you know, ignoring my obvious physical weakness, I'm simply too much of a lady :P Seriously though, those who know me know that I would actually have the balls to do that if I was really pissed off.
5) Parents who try to control their children's lives. I guess it's especially applicable to asian families (stereotyping, but you have to admit it's true). Imo if the kid doesn't really enjoy what he's doing he's not going to succeed anyway. Then when he's having his midlife crisis and his parents are dead he'll be wondering why the heck he listened to them and threw away his dreams of being a tattoo artist to become an accountant. True story btw, there was a news feature in the NY times about this a few weeks ago. But at least he came to his senses and went back to art school. Come on parents, it's not your life to control.
6) Actually, pressuring and nagging from parents too. I actually recently discovered that I cannot stand talking to my mum because EVERY TIME we have talked in the last month or so she has brought up the subject of exams or university entrance or other people's exam results. I say fuck that, I'm not going to discuss what I don't need to worry about yet. Actually on the subject of other people's exam results, I think my mum is more interested in my friends than I am. Seriously who gives a crap about other people's exam results lol, I have my own to be worrying about...
7) I don't really know, I'm quite tired now from all that ranting. Ummmmmm......... let's just say I split my number 1 into 2, ignorance AND narrowmindedness. kk done. "But you can't do that!! you're cheating!!" Pshhhh don't tell me how to do my own meme.
Part 4 - Sloth. Seven things you neglect to do.
1) Tidy my desk. It seems with each month that goes by, the height of my mountain of papers seems to grow faster than my hair does.
2) Homework
3) Eat fruit. That's more a case of disliking them than actual laziness though.
4) Backing up my harddrive... could turn out disastrous if my computer crashes...
5) Being nice to my brother. And I don't think I'll start anytime soon either. What a bitch! yea I know.
6) L2cook. Well I will these holidays hopefully.
7) Plan ahead. But... it's so pointless and annoying =__=
Part 5 - Greed. Seven worldly material desires.
1) Money
2) Designer shoes
3) Clothes
4) Private car + chauffeur
5) A plane. Yeah, like a private jet. With a pilot, obviously.
6) Penthouse apartment
7) Actually now that I go back and look, all the above can be solved with number 1) money. I guess that's what you get for asking for 'worldly material desires'
Part 6 - Gluttony. Seven guilty pleasures.
1) Maplestory
2) Gossip Girl
3) Eating a lot of ice cream and chocolate at once
4) Blogging too much
5) SC2 commentaries
6) Surfing study forums
7) Being told I'm awesome. Oh WAIT, that's just a regular pleasure. :)
Part 7 - Lust. Seven love secrets.
Part 7 - Lust. Seven love secrets.
I don't think my private life is really something to be shared over the internet lol. Well you are welcome to ask, depending on how I feel at the time I might reveal some things or nothing at all. But I'm sure no one is ballsy enough, or more importantly, BORED enough, to ask haha... Honestly though, the more of a stranger you are to me, the more likely it is that I will reveal things. I'm quite careful about discussing my love life with people who are close to me, because I know that in our world society forms a lot of judgement based on people's private lives. Personally I find it wrong, but it does happen, so yeah. Sorry :P If I told you, they wouldn't be 'secrets' now would they? :)

d28/29
So my internet capped yesterday morning, which left me with nothing to do the entire day. It takes like 3-4 minutes + to load a page, which was not very useful for me as I was trying to study for my chemistry exam and I couldnt pull up the past papers. Anyway now for some reason the comment form won't appear on anyone's blogs so I can't comment. But just so you know I've read them all. :)
DAY 28: A picture of you last year and now, how have you changed since then?
Tony + me, nov/dec 2009?
hillie + me, extrav bbq, last weekend
this weekend :)
You see, I don't have to go back very far to show how much I have changed, since I got jaw surgery 2 and a half months ago XD hahahaha I don't think I look THAT different, I guess my nose is shorter now (I can't lick it anymore) and less flat.. but more fat XD. Idk if I like it, kinda makes me feel piggish sometimes.
I also...
- stopped wearing my silver frames, because chen said they were intimidating
- grew my hair out
- started wearing more makeup
- & painting my nails when I am bored
- got more clothes/better clothes
- got wayyy more shoes... lost my blue converses ): I miss them so much. wtf are they?!
- matured a lot, became more blunt and open
- STARTED PLAYING MOUSEHUNT. HAHA ♥ sheremy, chirip + terry for starting it all
Hm... I kind of want to leave all the emotional stuff for new years :)
DAY 29: In the past month, what have you learnt?
In the past month... I've learnt what a cherrypicker is (I learnt that today actually)...
...
holy crap I actually can't think of much. I mean I know you learn something new every day but it's probably really insignificant stuff that I don't care to remember. HAHA this is terrible. I should pay more attention to my surroundings XD
OH!
I learnt that Chen can't stand threesomes. And that he can't last more than 10 seconds. ;D

SKYRISEEEE + d27
DAY 27: Why you are doing this 30 day challenge
Because I'm bored I suppose, and everyone else was doing it... so I got peer pressured XD I guess it's a good way for people to get to know me too. Not that anyone wants to...
Anyway tonight was Skyrise City for architecture week 2010 (check out their blog). It was soooo cool :) Some of the structures were really well made, I seriously thought a few of them were made by companies, but they were all 2nd year uni students... really amazing. I didn't take any photos, regret it now, but there were too many people =__=
Anyway I brought home some souvenirs :)
SHOOTING STARZZZZ
GLOWSTICKS!! Chyeah, there was a pro structure made out of bamboo painted black and fluro yellow glowsticks everywhere, and a guy was giving them away :) It was a pretty cool one.
Helium balloon filled with feathers!! Came from a huge as structure held up by heaps of these balloons (without the string) inside a plastic bag like material cover so it went quite high, and then they did a mechanism inside it that had like a button that you jump on and it launches a rocket with sandpapered tip (air pressure), so that when u launch it and it goes up and hits the helium balloons feathers would come down. It was soooo awesome :) they had to keep adding more balloons ofc otherwise the whole structure would collapse, and while he was blowing them up I asked for one~ I wish helium never ran out ): I'm gonna keep it as long as I can haha

DAY 24: A letter to your parents
Dear Mum & Dad,
Love you guys. You're amazing, thanks for all the support through the years, I'm SOOO lucky to have you.
Yeah that's the gist of it. Oh yeah and Happy Birthday Dad :)
DAY 25: What I would find in your bag
What I have in my schoolbag every day: folder, lunch, water bottle, pencil case, calculator, maths books, diary, random papers, laptop, wallet
What I have in my bag usually when I go out: bubbles, water bottle, wallet, lip balm
DAY 26: What you think about your friends
They are the most amazing people ever :) Seriously I love you all so much, especially those who stick with me through good times and bad, understand me and accept me unconditionally for who I am even if I do some pretty stupid stuff sometimes :P ♥
Yeah all really short. Idk I'm just not in the mood to type a lot today I suppose. In the midst of exams sigh... not in the mood for large blocks of text right now aye. Just want a break from it all... (not that I've been studying very hard...)

DAY 22: What makes you different from everyone else
Um. Well. My DNA? Haha idk, I always have these moments where I think I'm just living in my own world and everyone else are just projections. Since I'm the only one I can control, I will never know. Everyone else could be like npcs in a game. That seems quite unlikely though I suppose, I'm not -that- special :P
Having said that, I guess I'm pretty weird in my own right. Actually pretty much everyone is weird in their own way so that doesn't say much. I think we're all weird, in different ways, so it's like a cloud of gnats flying in random directions, but the overall force is 0N because they all cancel each other out, so as a population we are 'normal' even though the individual is abnormal.
Looking at things statistically, I'm han chinese, which means I'm part of the largest ethnic group on earth, which doesn't make me very special at all. I have an IQ of about 137, which puts me at the top 1.5% of the population, which means about 1 in every 96 people, which, considering the sheer population of han chinese is pretty damn common. There are about 150 000 han chinese in Auckland, so that makes me 1 of 150 000/96 = 1 563. I would use the Auckland figures but I have just spent about 20 mins trying to find the population of chinese people in Auckland without avail. Anyway Auckland is like asian central so it shouldn't have too big of an effect of the number. Split that number in half since I'm female and you get 1 in 783. The average height of chinese females is 160cm. I am 170cm. I can't find any numbers for the standard deviation of this data set but I'm going to divide by 10 because I know very few chinese females my height and above, and I think /10 is already being quite generous. So that makes 1 in 78. About 40% of chinese people have myopia of -1.00 to -5.00 between the ages of 6 and 20. I fit in this category. This is probably quite a warped statistic to use but heck all statistics are warped and this is just a very general estimate so that makes me 1 in 0.4*78=31. About 30% of everyone has astigmatism, so that makes me 1 in 0.3*31=9. About 80% of people are right handed, so that makes me 1 in 0.8*9=7. I was born on a Friday and there are 7 days in a week. That makes me 1 in 1. :)
Man you can tell I just got tired of googling at the end there :P
IGNORING all the bad stat combinations, think about it, in the end, I'm probably the only 170cm tall chinese female with an iq of 137 living in NZ with myopia and astigmatism who is right handed and was born on a Friday, and if that fails, I'd BET the other people's names weren't Winnie :P It's very easy to prove that you are unique; we are all so different.

DAY 20: Someone you see yourself marrying/being with in the future.
K bro I'm not even in a relationship right now haha, so if I'm gonna marry someone I'd either not know them yet or it would be someone I currently know it would be awkward to say since we're not in a relationship HAHA. Hm... let's be srs. I see myself with a hot nice rich guy. That's all we ever want =P
DAY 21: A picture of something that makes you happy
♥ Hillie :) hahaha all you need is a little love~~ & nice weather

DAY 18: Nicknames you have and why you have them
Ohhhhhh this is going to take a while. HAHA. Kk, in chronological order?
Woony and its many descendants -- Woonae, Woonie, Woonaekun, Spoonaekun
Started in year 8 when some friends were obsessed with harry potter fanfiction, and we really liked marauders ff (and even wrote some ourselves LOL, I think they're still on ff.net somewhere..), and we renamed ourselves after them by mixing our names. I was Lupin. So... Moony + Winnie = Woony. And everything that comes after that is just stuff that sounds like 'Woony' (apparently). Incidentally it also sounds like my last name tacked onto my first name, which is pretty cool, because I can't do the whole first letter swap thing like Chirip Fung (Firip Chung) & Sheremy Jane (Jeremy Shane) :(
INSERT!!! LUB
OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOT THIS ONE ): Made up by Kim, stands for Lovable Undergrown Bear + a bunch of other adjectives that I don't keep track of but she does. Because I am lovable, and I am a bear, and if I were a bear I would be undergrown in size because bears are big, so even if I am a tall asian girl I am still a small bear :) I am a bear because I'm lazy and slothlike, I hibernate in winter (I sleep more) and my name is Winnie as in Winnie the Pooh :)
Weenie, Weezor, Weebles, Wibbles, Wibobbles, Winaynay, Winwin, Window
All just because they sound like 'Winnie' in some form or another. Yes as you can tell my friends like to do weird things with people's names.
SID
It stands for Slut In Disguise. A name given to me by Rui and Tian in their wildly fictional story involving me stealing people's brains by sleeping with them. I haven't a clue either.
2290, Harvard Bitch, Harvard
2290 was my SAT score, and HB came from someone spreading rumours about me getting into Harvard which is NOT TRUE LOL... I haven't even finished year 12 wtf?! I have a feeling it's probably misunderstanding or just plain trolling over an application form I got sent from Harvard, but I'm not the only one, Chencake got one too. :P Harvard's just a shortened version of HB. I very much dislike this nickname.
If I've forgotten something feel free to comment lol...

DAY 18: Plans/goals/dreams you have
Haha, funny this should come a few days after I blogged about passion. Idk, a lot of people think I'm pretty ambitious, but actually I don't really know what I want. I guess I just want to have a happy life and stay lucky. I don't have much motivation to do other things. I guess I want to go to university and get at least a PhD, mainly because I don't want to go out into the chaotic world and get a job. I kind of have this ambition to go to some pro uni to do it, but if I think about it I wouldn't mind living a quiet life either, and then I think maybe I would prefer it.
I also have a long term and somewhat stupid dream that I can live forever, but since that seems unlikely due to, you know, physics, I'll haunt the world after I die. I actually do believe in ghosts lol, cuz I don't want to face the thought that after death we become nothing. It's nice to think that there are spirits around and there's something that happens after life.
Yeah I'm pretty... unmotivated? I don't know, I think that if you focus too much on the future you miss out on what's there in the present as well. That's why I don't really like to plan ahead and prefer a bit of spontaneity. Carpe Diem :) Do a little at a time, and see where life takes me. Since I have no passion for anything, I guess I'll be surprised where ever I end up.
Oh wait, a goal I would like to have is that one day I will be uber rich. Yeah that would be nice. -wishful thinking-

DAY 17: Someone you would switch lives with for a day and why
Steve Jobs, cuz he's rich and I could deposit a large chunk of his money into my own bank account. I know the most obvious choice is Bill Gates, but he actually donates his money to charities etc so it's going to a good cause other than myself, whereas as far as the public knows Jobs doesn't (well ofc he could be doing it anonymously, which is actually more admirable, but the point is I don't know)... Also since he's head of apple I could nab an itouch or something haha.
d16 narcissism + passion
DAY 16: Another picture of yourself
[Image Removed]
(Yeah I'm just a selfish narcissistic psycho freak... -song stuck in head-)
[Image Removed]
What is passion? I guess it's a kind of motivation, something we really believe in, our values, something that drives us. But very few of us are actually naturally driven by something like that. Passion is something intangible, and it seems to come and go (for me at least). It's abstract, like love, so it's hard to hold onto. Yet we seem to have this idea as a society that passion is something good and that it is something that each of us should have. But the truth is that it's not really that simple. Just as we can't force ourselves to love someone we don't, and can't force ourselves to fall out of love with someone we do, we can't force ourselves to care about things we don't, especially to become 'passionate' (strong adjective) about something we just don't.
I don't really know why I decided to talk about it. I guess it just kinda came out as I was typing, but I haven't really been thinking about it lately. In the last few years I've experienced a fickle kind of passion, the kind that comes and goes. I don't know, sometimes I just lose all motivation to do anything, but later I look back and think, why didn't I care more? Sometimes I get really fired up. But later I look back and think, was it really worth it? Why did I care so much? And of course, there is no answer. It's something really intrinsic; no one else can judge us or tell us what we should be passionate about, it's just something that seems to happen.
Can passion be conditioned though? I mean I think it's possible that by doing something more, you eventually like it more and more (exposure effect/familiarity principle), but can it reach that level of passion if you didn't have some love for it initially? As someone with a lot of interests but no real passion, it's weird to think about. Especially at this age, when people expect you to have decided what you're going to do with the rest of your life. You can do anything you want to do. What are you passionate about? My answer is: pretty much nothing. But what am I interested in? Pretty much everything... So I was wondering, if I did a lot of something, would it make me more passionate about it? Or, would I just get sick of it?
For some people, passion is something they will have all their life. The doctors who love to save lives, the volunteer who does community work to see the happy faces of all those he or she has saved, the musician who lives in a flat worth less than the collection of guitars hanging on his or her living room wall. I think those people are really lucky, to have found something they love and care about so much. No matter how hard life gets nothing can take that love away from them. They will never really feel alone, because they are motivated.
For most of us though, passion is like a (passionate) one night stand (see what I did there? :D). You're on a high for a night, but after that you're back to your regular normal life. Passion comes and goes, sometimes we get really motivated about something, sometimes we just don't give a damn. When we don't give a damn, nothing seems to matter in the world. We feel alone, depressed, meaningless. Perhaps it is not crimes of passion that we should be worried about, but what happens when there is no passion at all.
“If there is no passion in your life, then have you really lived? Find your passion, whatever it may be. Become it, and let it become you and you will find great things happen FOR you, TO you and BECAUSE of you.” ~T. Alan Armstrong

DAY 13: A letter to someone who has hurt you recently
No one has really hurt me recently. I guess I can... ehh I'll try.
Dear person who has kind of hurt me recently but not really because there is no malicious intent and it's actually my own fault that you hurt me recently, even though I don't really count this as 'hurting' me,
You're confusing as hell, even though you're blunt. I should stop liking you, but it's hard cuz, strange as it sounds, I actually like it when you do my head in.
Not yours ever,
Winnie.

day 12
DAY 12: How you found blogspot and why you made one
I probably found blogspot during like year 7 or 8 when I was trying to find a good blogging site, I seem to have joined up to all the ones I could find (seriously I have LJ, xanga, blogger & god knows what else). that's why this is under xzmallet.blogspot.com and not zmallet.blogspot.com, cuz that's the one I actually made back then but never used and then forgot the pw too (I've actually reclaimed it now, but it just redirects here). I used LJ as primary because it had communities and more versatile design options, but then blogspot introduced HTML templates and at the end of year 9 Bernie made one, so I figured might as well shift here permanently haha.
Today I went to watch despicable me... awwwww it was sooo cute :D and funnier than I thought it would be haha.

White. I don't know why it represents me, it's just my favourite colour kk.
Is there anyone in the room with you?
Only the ghosts :)
Do you own a pair of skinny jeans?

What was the last thing you ate?
Dinner. Rice, salmon, vegetables.
Are you a morning person or a night person?
Depends on the day and mood haha
What do you want to go to school for?
A good time :) Accumulating knowledge and learning more about the world as well as hanging out with friends
Have you ever gotten in a car with people you just met?
Yup more than once...
Has anyone upset you in the last week?
Indirectly haha
Do you have a lighter on you?
Nope. Well people say I'm quite bright. HA HA HA lame pun.
Have you ever been rude to someone without even realizing it?
Yeah haha I think everyone has
Ever heard the saying “to get over someone, get under someone else”?
I prefer to be on top actually ;)
Would you rather have long or short hair?
Either or, I like both :D I just hate that awkward stage in between haha
Is your last name longer than 6 letters?

Of course haha

Are you a nice person?
I hope so.
Go back to when you and your ex were dating, if you tattooed their name on you would you regret it?
hahahaha naturally..? I'd be able to pull it off as something like "remind myself of the importance of willpower" though LOL.

11-12 months

Having sex ruins relationships, right?
Having sex outside of said relationship does XD Well to be serious, If both people in the relationship are okay with it then it can bring them closer together as well though. I mean personally I'm a virgin but I have thought about it before, and although it seems teenage sex is either extremely stigmatized or extremely pressured in our society it's really up to the person.
According to your ex, are you pretty?
Yeah, pretty annoying. :)
Are you nice to the people you dislike?
I try to be. Or at least handle my dislike in a professional manner. :P But I don't dislike many people haha.
