School has been keeping me busy from the challenge I started. Will start back up Tuesday.

19. All of the pets I’ve ever had.

Going to have to think hard on this one! When I was really young, we had a cat named Snowball. When I say really young the only reason why I remember him/her was because over old family tapes. The first pet I remember having was another cat we named Patches. He’s the reason why I have a scar on my right cheek. He never did intentionally to defend himself! He was jumping over me from a ledge and his back claw caught my face. Next came the fish. First fish was a Betta fish and his/her name was Kyle. The second fish and third were also Betta’s and were respectively named Kyle 2 and Kyle 3. I was an original kid. We also had two Goldfish when Kyle 3 was around. One named Goldy and the other named Leopard from the apparent scales. Leopard lived for like nine years and Goldy lived for six. The Bettas died relatively fast :C. Lastly, my one and only pet I have at the moment is a dog named Ginger. She’s a mutt and we think she’s a mix of a Yellow Lab and a Hound. Hound for sure, not sure on what kind of Lab she is though. She’s 10 years old now and still runs around (on occasion) like she’s a puppy still :)
 

25. What are my future plans?

I talked about this on here not too long ago :o Here’s the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7uLjABQSzs

But if you don’t want to watch I’ll explain it here. My plans are to get through and finish a Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering. Once I graduate I’ll look for a job and am hoping to stay in Newfoundland. St. John’s more than likely, that’s where most demand for engineers are. I’ll stay in an apparment for six months and then get a loan from the bank and purchase a house. When that house is paid off I’ll buy some land for myself and then when the land is paid for I’ll build my own house. Not sure where yet. Maybe back around where my hometown is.

When it comes to making a family for myself, what happens happens. I won’t be down if I’m single and when/if I have kids I’ll be grateful. My plan is to have a stable job for two years before I think about kids.

Of course this plan will more than likely not work out, it’s what I have pictured for myself at this moment in time. 

53. What words upset me the most.

This one is tough. It seems like now words are thrown around with any intentions behind them. If there is no meaning behind the word by the person who is saying it then I don’t tend to get upset. For example, at cadet camp a long time ago, maybe 4+ years, you hear the word Newfie being thrown around and I didn’t mind. One person however said it intentionally saying as an insult like he was undermining me because I’m from Newfoundland so I must be a stupid “Newfie” and that offended me. So to sum things up here: words upset me when people use offensive slang or offensive words when they intentionally say these words with meaning and not slang or joking around.

One more thing that I bite my tongue on when it’s brought up is when people talk about depression like it’s not a big deal or a joke and aren’t aware on how serious it actually is. To people who are unaware, they think that people suffering from depression just need to “get over it” so all of the things people do to cope with their depression and signs seem stupid to them. That’s why I wear TWLOHA merchandise, so people can ask me what it means and hopefully depression and it’s seriousness will become household knowledge.



I apologize if you looked at this and went TL;DR! I can type a lot >_>
