Happy New Year!

I decided to post two posts today since we're staring a new year tomorrow..or well tonight.

2o1o, was awesome.

The summer is one that I will remember forever.

so will the autumn and winter for...well obvious reasons :)

Day 10: Something you're afraid of

I actually wrote a post about this almost exactly a year ago. Nothing has changed much since then when it comes to my fears so I am going to post the same thing I wrote then, again.

What am I afraid of? Have I conquered any of my fears? And the answer is...well I am scared of Clowns, that'll probably never change. I find them utterly disturbing. I'm not very fond of rats...or any kind of rodent-like animal fro that matter. I mean Guniea-Pigs and Hamsters makes me queasy...they are basically rats with shorter tails, right? Porcelain Dolls creep me out(it's the eyes). And well...snakes aren't on my favorite things list- So yeah, I am a scaredy-cat. No doubt about that.

But I have conquered one of my biggest fears. When I was younger than I am today I used to be (excuse the following pun) deathly afraid of...well death.
If someone even mentioned death I got this unpleasant feeling at the pit of my stomach. I wanted to throw up and just not listen anymore. I used to wish for time to go slower so I wouldn't near the unavoidable fate that awaited me. But it wasn't just my own death that scared me, no it was everyone elses too. I visibly winced at the thought of losing a grandparent or anyone near me. That's not any way to live, is it?
But I got over it...and believe it or not it had alot to do with the film; Tuck Everlasting. And no that was not sarcasm I am comepletley serious here. The movie is basically about a family that are immortal, to keep it short. But that's not what made me think, no it's one line in the movie. That one line struck a cord in me. I quote; Don't be afraid of death. Be afraid of the unlived life.
That got me thinking. Why should I fear something that will happen? And I relized that I would never be able to live my life to the fullest if I feared death.
So I simply...stopped. Easy as that. I started using my head. I thought about it and that's one of the reasons to why I see life the way I see it now. Live life your way. Take one day at a time. That sort of thing...

Alot of our fears are comepletley irrational. Like my fear of Clowns but it's not like it's hurting me, like my fear of death did. So I'll just keep on being creeped out by Clowns and rodents. Just for the hell of it.

Day 9: A favorite picture of your best friend

Well I don't exactly have a favorite picture of my bestfriend. I've all ready gone through the fact that I'm not much of a photographer.

So instead I chose the most recent one of us together, this Halloween.

Party's Over Dude.

This was taken at a small Kebab-Joint after we finished partying.Yeah.

V. and I met when I was 16. Before that I had a best-friend that I had known since forever, which actually means practically from birth. I know, weird huh. Anyhow we sort of outgrew eachother and I moved away for school. We still talk sometimes, and she's still a friend but my bestfriend she is not.

School is where I met V. I'm not sure when it happened and I'm not even certain on how it happened...but after a conversation about our love for Johnny Depp, we just clicked.

V and I are so alike. And yet we are so different. I love her and she's my best friend. She knows everything about me and vice-versa. And we both know that we can call eachother at any time and the other will be there.
Sadly because now, we live so far away from eachother we don't see eachother as much as we would like. But we talk on the phone, text and facebook eachother constantly.

She's my best friend, my soulmate and I wouldn't trade her for anything. ♥

Day 8: A place you've traveled to.

This was an easy one actually.

Croatia.

I went there the Summer of 2009 and it was awesome. Stayed for two weeks and had alot of really great experiences.

We traveled from place to place and saw alot of things, people and places. And ate food, oh the food how I miss it. Especially any kind of sea-food and of course the Ice-Cream, it was brilliant.

To sum it all up I've chosen to post pictures from the trip instead of japping on and on about it.

Day 7: Favorite Movie

Oh Boy. 

The fact that I love movies is by no means a secret. So how can I choose one? Well, I really can't because I have so many favourite movies that I'd be here for days if I even tried to write about all of them. And that is sadly not an overstatement.

So what movie did I choose after alot of thinking.
I want to say I chose a really cool cult movie like Donnie Darko, but I didnt.
I want to say that I chose Trainspotting, because it's psycological and really strange and weird, but I didn't.
I didn't even choose a movie starring Johnny Depp. Surprising, I know.
No I chose a movie that I will never tire of watching, no matter how many times I've seen it.

I chose...Rob Reiner's Stand by Me.

This is what I wrote about it on Flixster;

(First Lines) " I was 12 going on 13 the first time I saw a dead human being. It happened in the summer of 1959 - a long time ago, but only if you measure in terms of years. I was living in a small town in Oregon called Castle Rock; there were only twelve hundred and eighty-one people, but to me it was the whole world."

The movie is about a man who after finding out about his friends tradgic death writes down their story. A story about the best summer they ever had together. The summer the four best friends, Gordie(The writer), Chris,Teddy and Vern set out to find the corpse of a boy that has gone missing. We follow them through their journey and watch the adventure of their lives...well, any 12 year old going on 13 would think of it as an adventure... I love this movie. It's a cute movie about friendship. The boys are over-dramatic and funny...and you just cant help but laugh with them...and feel sorry for them. And the Cobras...those guys should have their own movie x) I love Ace and Eyeball... It's a very simple movie...but it is truly amazing. Definitley worth watching...  

"I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?"

I love this movie. And I will never stop loving it and I've seen it too many times to count. 

Day 6: A picture of something that makes you happy.

Well this one was actually mind-boggling. Is that a word? Well anyway, I was looking through my pictures and to be honest I'm not really someone who likes to have their picture taken or take pictures, unless I'm wasted. Hence why all my pictures are all screwed up. Yeah.

So instead I chose several pictures that represents things that never fails to make me happy from one of my newest favourite sites we♥it. 

My Friends .♥

S. ♥

The Sea. ♥

 

 

 

The Dudes from HIMYM.♥

John Mayer's Music. ♥

Day 5: A song to match your mood

I know, I know. I've missed two days. But in my defence two days ago was Christmas Eve, and that night I got sick. So yesterday was spent laying on the couch, feeling awful. Yeah, ew.



I chose John Mayer's Who Says, because I love the song and the lyrics are just so brilliant. I've loved it since I heard it but now everytime I hear one of those last fraises; plan a trip to Japan alone...I think of S. for...well it's an inside thing.
And it kinda describes my mood right now. Which is tired, missing S., slightly bored and thoughtful. 

Over and Out.

Day 4: Your parents.

Mommy and Daddy, eh?

Well I've always gotten along pretty well with both my parents. They're not very intimidating, nervreckingly strict and they don't have these overwhelming demands or expectations. Now when I'm older I almost see them as friends more then my parents actually. Well not exactly like friends but differently then I did, say 5 years ago?

Mom.

My mom is Super-Mom. She can do everything, and when I say everything I actually mean every. single. thing.
She is also really good at cooking. There's nothing better then Mom's homecooked anything. Sincerely.
My mom and I get along fairly well, we're pretty different souls and think alot differently so occasionally we do butt heads. But most of the time we get along, like only mother-and-daughter can.

Dad.

I figure I am closer to my dad because we are so alike in so many ways. Which is why we get along so well but that is also why we argue sometimes. But my dad and I have always had this conecction, we just get eachother.
My Dad works alot, and he doesn't get enough credit for it.

That's my parents in a nutshell.

Borrowed from we

Day 3: Your first love

My first love. Well upon reading that title my thoughts immediatley went to fourth grade. Because then I had the first crush I can remember. His eyes were brown (already way back then Brown Eyes had some sort of power over me!), he was cute and we totally had a connection. He would jump outta nowhere and scream "Boo!", I would squeak in a (what I thought was) cute way and then pretend to be angry about it. It was cute. It was silly and rather pathetic. Puppy-Love-ish. But then again we were 10 years old.



I have a thing for Tatty Teddy, if you hadn't noticed.

 Over the years I've had too many crushes to count both on people in my surroundings and celebrity/fictional ones. But love...not really. I mean sure I've had flings, roller-coaster-in-the-moment-like flings, sure I've done those. But an actual relationship with actual feelings involved? No. Well not until now.

The S.A., whom from this moment on shall be known as simply; S. (because ironically his name begins with an S *giggles*) has without doubt tugged on my heartstrings.

The first time I saw him, as you probably recall, was on a Blind Date. I was nervous, so nervous that I feared I would throw up or something just as disgusting but then...I saw him. And I just...kindof...knew. I know it sounds silly but that's what it was like.
We all know about attraction, I mean it has to be something there for a relationship to work, but I do try to base all (romantic or not) my relationships on personality.

But when I saw S. for the first time, the first thought that went through my head was; "Are you kidding me? Is this a joke?".
I took in the tattoos, the goatee, those brown eyes and I was stunned, how could he be so much my type? Then when we started talking I just knew that I  liked him. We are so alike in so many ways that it actually freakes me out sometimes.
But that inital moment, that first thought, that feeling of my heart skipping a beat will probably always be etched into my mind.
I'm not inlove with him, yet. I have only known him for...well over a month now actually but still. But I do know that I like him, alot. And life without him would be awfully strange.

So there you have it, maybe not really what you were hoping for in the "First Love" post, but this is what I have to type on the matter.

Peace Out.

Day 2: Meaning behind your blog name.

The Wallflower Diaries was something that me, myself and I came up with one day when we were bored.

Wallflower came from, well I've always considered myself somewhat a Wallflower. I'm very quiet, calm and shy sometimes.
Diaries was just something that seemed fitting, since this is kindof an online, very public Diary.

Apparently there's an actual flower named wallflower or something.

  

It looks like this.

Day 1: Introduce, recent picture of yourself, 15 interesting facts

Recent Picture; Halloween 2010.

Hey You!

My first Challenge is to introduce myself, so here goes nothing.


My name is Charlotta, I am 20 years old and I live in this small town that barely makes the maps.

 The diploma I got from school tells me I'm a Cosmetician so that's what I do for a living, I work at a Spa which is great.
On my spare time (aka when I'm not working my arse off),
the dork in me likes to read, write, listen to music and watch movies and later rant about them endlessly. I also consider myself a borderline Shopaholic because I just love buying clothes. I'm not a fashionista, believe me far from it but I really like to dress up in different outfits. Shoes and bags are my guilty pleasures.
But most of all I love hanging out with my awesome friends. And I spend alot of my time with the S.A. (Read This if you're lost and don't get it) as well, of course.

That's kind of me in a nutshell, I think. If you want more just  check out the About a Girl page.

JD and Turk are just Brilliant.

I feel not well today. I think I've got a small case of the flu. Damn.

I still have loads of Christmas shopping to do but thanks to my feeling rather low I spent the day watching Scrubs instead of doing something of importance.
Scrubs is just awesome and always makes me happy. The friendship between  JD and Turk is brilliant and it reminds me of the relationship between me and my best friend.

And then of course there's the ongoing, neverending love/hate relationship between Dr. Cox and JD. How can one not love that?

♥

December = The Month of Gift Giving.

True, right? But December is also the month of; I'm-Freaking-Out-Because-I-Don't-Know-What-To-Get-Anybody.

Giving gifts, is fun. I like it alot but there one huge problem. My imagination may be absolutley brilliant when it comes to writing fictional stories or weird names for titles to my blog posts but when it comes to presents...Well, that talented mind seems to dissapear and all that is left is a bunch of confused neanderthal noises like; Uuuh, uugh, baaah...and the ultimate line; I dunno.

Each year I stand at the shops looking at the shelves confused. Because I have no idea of what to get anybody. So eventually I grap something crappy that I am not at all saticfied with at the last freaking minute. You know that present that makes you want to cringe as you see the person in question unwrapping the paper. Yeah, that gift.

But this year is going to be different. I've promised myself that much. Because this year I'm going to start relatively early with the gift-shopping. This weekend, the S.A.*  and I are going Christmas Shopping. And I've made a promise to myself to atleast try and get all the gifts done on Saturday. I sure hope I'll succeed. I actually have two done already, I feel proud.

I'm also going to try and not end up looking like that or freaking out and bursting into tears of frustration. Bloody Hell. Speaking of that cuss in praticular, I saw HP 7 Part One last night. Honestly? Alot better than I thought it would be. The world sure is full of surprises.

Over and Out.

*I guess I should stop calling him "The S.A." because he isn't exactly secret anymore is he...I'll think about it.
