Magic



Not a lot of people know that I love the supernatural like vampires, witches, wizards, Harry Potter and Charmed or Sabrina the teenage witch, just to name a few.  I think it all started when I was in my first year of high school when Charmed came out and I loved it.  I would watch it every Tuesday night at 7.30pm until 8.30pm and it was awesome because it was my first real taste of television magic because I can’t remember watching Sabrina the teenage witch until later when I was about 16 and then my interest in the supernatural began to grow with Harry Potter (which is still one of my favourite series to read and watch the movies.)  I don’t ever remember watching Buffy or Angel when I was growing up but I now have the DVDS of all the seasons of Buffy and Angel.   I also have the seasons from Charmed.  Then in 2008 I picked up a book called Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead which I loved straight away and I couldn’t put it down and Vampire Academy is the first book in her series of 6 books and then she followed on from there with another series called Bloodlines and her fourth book in that series comes out in a month’s time and I have written down on my whiteboard the name of the book and the date that it comes out.  I also discovered the Vampire Dairies on television as well as True Blood.  I have also started watching the Originals and I love the first two episodes because I haven’t watched the third episode yet but I am planning on watching it.  I also found on you tube Wizards of Waverly Place which is awesome to watch because Selena Gomez is really cool and really funny.  I am not a witch or anything I just watching shows or movies or reading books about supernatural things and not really scary because I don’t like scary movies.

Superhero



I am a superhero, I don’t wear a cape or fly or fight crime or drive a bat mobile like all of the superheroes that you read in comic books or watch in movies or watch on tv.  But in real life I am a superhero to a lot of CDC families that I reach out to on facebook.  A lot of these families need some guidance about where to go because the info they get is out of date and a lot of doctors don’t know a whole lot about CDC.  I put on superhero cape which is full of love and understanding and a lot of empathy to their situation and to let them know that I am here for them, to help them understand CDC a lot better and guide them to the answers that they have been searching for so they don’t feel so alone.  I am only one of the very few who know what it is like living with CDC every single day.  Over the last few years that I have been reaching out to families through facebook I felt like I am doing something worthwhile to my life and it has been an amazing journey to find families that believe in me and I have made so many lifelong friends and three amazing best friends because they believed in me and I can’t wait for next year to meet you all in person and so I can give you all a big hug and say thank you.  By the way Batman is my favourite superhero because he drives the bat mobile.

Curbs vs Me



I tripped and fell over on Saturday morning grazing my knee and both of my hands.  I wasn’t texting at the time and I was paying attention to what I was doing.  One minute I was walking along and the next minute I knew that I was on the ground.  I got up every shakily off the ground and regrouped myself before painfully limping down to the town square because I knew that my boss and friend Cricket would be there for our town’s Festival of Cultures and she was running the Trade Aid Stall.  When I got to her stall I almost burst into tears and she took a look at my hands and told me to come with her and so I did.  She hunted for a first aid kit at the Festival but couldn’t find one and the shop was about 300 metres down the road so we went back and Cricket fixed me up the best that she could.  I texted Bryan first to let him know what happened and then I texted my Dad to come and pick me up.  He did and took me back up to his house so he could patch up my knee and I rested at his house for awhile and then he took me to feed Beanie.  Since this is the last week of feeding Beanie and I am hurt.  One of my Mum’s best friend’s Mum’s is going to do it for me since I can’t walk fast.  Eighteen months ago I was walking to KFC one Friday night and I tripped and fell on a curb that time I badly hurt my arm.   I know that I am unstable on my feet sometimes.

Music



Today and last night I put onto my Ipod what seemed like a hundred songs, I had been listening to the radio since Dad had been away trying to come up with new songs to stick onto my Ipod.  Music is really important in my life, because it helps me to focus on what I am doing in the mornings like getting changed and having breakfast.  When I go walking I take my Ipod with me to block out the sounds of the cars on the road because of the noise that the cars make when they are driving past.  I know all my songs on my Ipod and I have currently 303 songs on my Ipod.  I sing along to all the songs because it is great speech therpy for me since CDC affects my speech.   Some of my favourite songs and bands are American Pie by Don McLean (I know all the words to American Pie.)  Dad played American Pie over and over again once on a road trip that my family and I took to the South Island.  Another favourite song is As long as you love me by the Backstreet Boys (Still one of my favourite bands.)  I have a lot of backstreet boys on my Ipod.  Another favourite song of mine is called I love the way you love me by Boyzone (Another one of my favourite bands).  Last Friday night by Katy Perry (I love the lyrics to Last Friday night.) There are so many favourite songs that I love from Lonestar.  One of my favourite songs from the band Lifehouse is It is What it is (I heard it from one of the episodes from Vampire Dairies.) I also like One Direction.  I really love P!nk grew up listening to her songs I don’t have a favourite song from her because all her songs are really cool.   I grew up listening to Savage Garden and once when we were dectoring the Christmas tree Dad turned up to the Moon and Back really loud that the floor actually shook.  I am also into Taylor Swift and love her songs also (don’t have a favourite from her either).  One of my other favourite bands is Westlife and I love all of their songs as well.  
There is one thing in this world that I love most (apart from Bryan) is MUSIC and I have my own Ipod touch where I can download music all by myself without any help from my parents and I can live in my own world when I am out walking.

Love Part 3


Everyone knows the story how Bryan and I met.  One night in December almost six years ago we hugged at a Christmas party and it felt so right to us and then I gave him my cellphone number and as they say the rest is history.  I remember the first time that he got sick I was at grans for New Years and he ended up in hospital.  Bryan gets sick a lot because he has a low immune system and he has a rare disease called Behcets which means instead of his body fighting off infection or bug he has, his body attacks itself in the process.  He may look perfectly healthy some days but on other days he could be really sick so we can’t plan anything together and when we get time together it is rather the quality time that we have together instead of the quantity amount of time.  The last time I saw him was the 11th of September for about half an hour, he came over after work and it was fun.  I don’t see him every single day but we talk on facebook, Skype and text each other.  If I don’t see him for a long time then I get frustrated but then I draw on the strength of the love that we both have for each other.
