Nothing wrong in my fantasy world

the moving day is getting closer

The nerves are really starting to kick in now excited nerves though. Last night my parents took me and Matt to watch Avatar, I really enjoyed it the story is an old one that has been done many times but it was just so visually stunning. It’s the first time I’ve actually watched a movie in 3D it was strange to say the least, I felt quite motion sick for the first half an hour till I got used to it. I think the 3D did work a lot better when it was with the Navi though for obvious reasons it being computer generated

It’s the first time in ages that I’ve been to the cinema and been visually in awe of a movie and the special effects heh. I’d recommend going to see it

Another reason that my parents invited us over was a sort of early Christmas dinner/present opening as our presents will need to be packed up before Christmas. So my mum made nandos style chicken and other goodies, the chicken was yummy. I’ll miss stuff like that when I move, even if i do take it a bit for granted at the moment. We opened our presents after dinner got in total we got:

A pizza stone and cutter set
Nando’s sauces and skewers (they don’t have nando0s in America b00oo )
A pin-board in the style of the union jack (its cooler than i make it sound lol i love it)
Some pretty photos and frames
A jewellery box
A book ( Let the Right One In ) and a book voucher
Vapouriser thingy
Toiletries
Slippers
Ale for Matt as I don’t really drink

Really thankful for all the lovely gifts.

On Tuesday we’ll be packing all of this and the rest of our home into a shipping crate, our lives all mashed together into one crate its a little crazy. I keep looking around the flat for stuff I could just throw away but I can’t bring myself to throw stuff away I want as much to remember about home and England especially in the first few weeks. I’m scared that I’ll get so homesick so trying to make that easy as possible if I do.

Things need to change

2009-12-14T10:30:21Z

It’s 10am I’ve been awake for 16hours that means I woke up at 7pm yesterday after having gone to bed at 10am I think it was, so about 10hours sleep? I really suck at maths but that’s not my point. My sleeping is so screwed up, I just don’t understand it at all. I can only hope being 8hours behind means I’ll somehow switch to California time. I’ve been like this ever since I was little or pretty much all through my teen years, my mum and I argued a lot over me not being a sleep yet at times like 4am-7am.

I mean I get tired obviously but its like my body just refuses to be tired at the right time then come daylight I’m sleepy and pretty dead when my head hits the pillow. I’ve tried different things like staying up all night and going to bed early (like 8pm) but I just end up feeling worse for it. Or trying to go to bed 2hours later everyday for a week. They usually work for a little bit then I have one night where I stay up a little later to watch a film or some TV show and then I am back where I started. I once tried sleeping pills but they made me so tired I slept for nearly 2days. It’s not like I’m not a morning person I quite like it in the morning really and when I do get out of bed I don’t need like hours to really wake up. Perhaps its the lack of things to do or depression but having been like this for at least 10years I just struggle for ideas on how to fix me.

It frustrates me I get so lonely because I am sleeping when every one around me is doing stuff and having a life whereas I am living my life when everyone else is asleep so I have no one to really talk to. I also feel shit because I barely spend any time with Matt at the weekends when I am like this. I just want to be normal.

And the worst part is having to deal with people always making jokes about it or asking me about how I slept things like that, like I want to talk about something that actually makes me depressed. It just pisses me off, is that irrational? :@

So this is the first post?

2009-12-10T03:21:43Z

So I never know how to start a blog off with the first post, I usually end up writing a load of crap about nothing I’ll apologise firstly for my grammar I know it sucks. The whole point of this blog is basically to update my family and friends at home all about my life in America, I’m moving there if you couldn’t already tell. On the 29th December 2009, just in time for the new year.

Moving to America is probably the biggest thing so far in my life that I’ve done, it terrifies me but in a good way. I know I’ll get homesick and I’ll miss English food but its just one of those things when you have the opportunity to do it, you should do it. I’m looking forward to the weather, anything is better than rain, rain and more rain plus correcting the Americans on how to spell .

I can’t say I know much else about California except what I see on TV/Films which I can only imagine is as realistic as Eastenders is for us Brits and the 4 days I spent there in October, though I did really enjoy myself. I think watching my weight and exercising is going to be doubly important also as the food portions and plate sizes were ridiculously HUGE, think a desert but on a dinner sized plate, crazy!

So heres to the new year, and a new beginning

[Personality Quiz - BBC.co.uk]
You are an Idealist
The four aspects that make up this personality type are:

Spontaneous -You are flexible and take life as it comes.

Ideas person. -You focus on the big picture rather than on details.

Heart person. - When making a decision, you are driven by your personal values and the feelings of others.

Introvert. - You tend to focus on and get your motivation from your own inner thoughts and ideas.

Summary of Idealists

Make sense of the world using inner values
Focus on personal growth and the growth of others
Think of themselves as bright, forgiving and curious
May sometimes appear stubborn

More about Idealists
Idealists put time and energy into developing personal values that they use as a guide through life. They may seek fulfilment by helping others improve themselves and often want to make the world a better place. Idealists only share their inner values with people they respect.

Idealists enjoy discussions about a wide range of topics, particularly those that deal with the future. They are typically easy-going and flexible, but if their values are challenged they may refuse to compromise.

In situations where they can’t use their talents or are unappreciated, Idealists may have trouble expressing themselves and withdraw. Under extreme stress, Idealists may become very critical of others, or lose confidence in their own ability to cope.

Recognition for their work is important to Idealists; however, they are also good at spotting false praise.

Idealist Careers
Idealists are often drawn to jobs where they can help people reach their potential. They are also attracted to careers that allow artistic creativity.

You may have come here expecting to see entries, well its friends only. I used to have it public but it caused far too many problems for me offline, and I feel more comfortable talking more personally if it has a little bit of privacy...

If you wanna be added, just comment on this entry, let me know a little bit about you if you're a stranger to me though please as I'd rather add people I at least know something about.
