Theme Thursday - Park

Park.

Hmm. My friend Kristin and I have a park that we refer to as 'Our Park'. I have no idea what it's really called but we always go there when we wanna talk. Kristin and I have had many deep and meaningful conversations in that park. We found it one day on a whim when we met at the mall and decided that we shouldn't be wasting a sunny day, so we went off in search of a park. We walked, searching fruitlessly for a park, for a long time. Eventually there was yet another street coming off to our right, so I said "Hey this looks like a park-like street!" It was really just wishful thinking, but sure enough, halfway down the street, there was a park!

Below are some pictures we've taken there

and...
Me, trying to imitate it... not doing so well...

You're the one thing on my mind but that could change any time

It's been a while since I've actually blogged, so I thought I would for once :)

So. I've pretty much decided I'm gonna move to Wellington next year! I'm pretty excited about that :D :D I went to Wellington last week to look at the Uni and stuff and it seemed pretty cool. Yesterday I felt so bad cos my mum asked me if I missed my bf when i was away and I was like "YES!!" and then she said she bets I didn't miss her... awkward... I was like "uhh... well it was only 5 days..." I try not to lie even if it is to protect people's feelings but i think I should have done in this case : / Oh well. I'm actually ecstatic to be leaving home! Not because I hate my family, but yeah I'm not particuarly attatched to them either and it'll be great to be totally independent.
Quel d'autre?
In just one month I'm gonna be a Godmother :o it's a bit exciting but a bit scary that my friend is gonna have a baby in one month's time, it just seems unreal! Ahhh baby shower next week, I need to start making the gift! I must get around to doing that. I think I should take up knitting and I'll be one of those awesome Godmothers who always gives the kid stuff :D I hope I will be involved in his life, even though I'm moving to Wellington : / oh well, I know that I'll come back to visit and I will definitely be visiting my friend because I'm gonna miss her so much, being so far away!
14 weeks left of school, ever. I always thought I'd reach this point and be totally ecstatic, but no. It freaks me out so much, you have no idea!! I mean, I think I do feel ready to leave school but at the same time it's bloody scary!
Life seems to be changing a lot just recently but it's definitely all positive changes so I guess I don't mind. It's just kind of weird when everything seems to happen all at once. Like, I remember that about three or four months ago, I was talking to a friend about relationships and stuff like that. And I said to him, one day I want to feel like this about someone, and I put on this song...

Happy - NeverShoutNever!
You make me happy, whether you know it or not
We should be happy, that's what I said from the start
I am so happy
Knowin' you are the one that I want for the rest of my days
For the rest of my days, yo all of my days

You're lookin' so cool, you're lookin' so fly
I cant deny that when I'm starin' you down and dead in the eye
I wanna try to be the person you want the person you need
It's hard to conceive that somebody like you could be with someone like me

I'm happy knowin' that you are mine
The grass is greener on the other side
The more I think the more I wish that we could lay here for hours and just reminisce
Ooh-ooh

You're lookin' so fresh, it's catchin' my eye
Why oh why did I not see this before
The girl I adore was right in front of me
And now I'll take a step back and look in your eye
And ask why it took so long to see we're meant to be

I'm happy knowin' that you are mine
The grass is greener on the other side
The more I think the more I wish that we could lay here for hours and just reminisce
On the good, the bad, the ugly
The smiles, the laughs, the funny
Oh, the things we put each other through
It's for you, for you, for you

You make me happy, whether you know it or not
We should be happy, that's what I said from the start
I am so happy
Knowin' you are the one that I want for the rest of my days
For the rest of my days

I'm happy knowin' that you are mine
The grass is greener on the other side
The more I think the more I wish that we could lay here for hours and just reminisce
Ooh-ooh

And well, now that's exactly how I feel about someone. It's sorta amazing, I never thought that it would happen, it was more of a 'I wish' sort of thing. Like I said, life changes so much, and it changes so quickly. But it's great, fantastic even :)

Thought for Today
Take chances. Honestly, that's how the greatest of things can happen. Sure, sometimes it'll backfire but you'll never know if you don't try

Theme Thursday - Blue

Blue!

Well this is apt!

I am currently in WELLINGTON :D which is awesome

''So, Jo, why is blue apt?''

Ah yes well i'm very glad you asked

I am feeling blue because I am so far away from my amazingly amazing boyfriend :(

''But, Jo, it's only for five days''

Thank you, voice in my head, i know that! but it doesn't stop me missing him like crazy :( :(

''You'll be fine''

Yes I know but I don't want to be fine, I want to be happy, and no one makes me happier!

''So, Jo, what do you think of Wellington?''

Well you know how I wrote that blog about really loving Otago? I like Wellington much more. Unfortunately there's no course in social work specifically but I'll just do psych and sociology instead and I can still go into social work if I want :) And now I'm really excited to move here next year :) plus, I know my cousins would love it if I moved here and it would be great to be able to see them lots! So I can't really see why I shouldn't move here next year :)

''And, Jo, what was the most exciting part of your day?''

I got the lovely Siobhan the awesomest birthday present :) ANDANDAND I BOUGHT A POCKET WATCH :D:D:D:D

''Ilove this conversation we're having! You never talk to me when other people are around!''

Alright time to shut up and log out, happy theme thursday :)
