If Tomorrow Never Comes...

If 2012 truly marked the end of the world, I think I would probably first go and send out an e-mail to all my family and friends, expressing how much I loved them and how special they all were to me. Then to make sure they read it,I'd post a Facebook Post telling everyone to check their e-mails.

Afterward, I'd probably get in the car, stock up on McDonalds fries (because, let's face it, those things are awesome), and hit the road, trying to get to see as many of the important people in my life as I could before nightfall.

After returning home, I would probably watch one last movie with my family, talk a while, reminisce the past, that sort of thing, then just wait for the world to blow up, or whatever.

Point is, I don't believe the world will end in 2012. I believe that maybe, there will be some drastic changes that will end the world AS WE KNOW IT, meaning, things will change, but I really highly doubt it will actually end, that the human race will be wiped out.

Valentine's Day: A Single Lady's View

Valentine's Day sucks, plain and simple. It's nothing but a day to make single people feel worse about themselves, to stress partnered men out over what to buy to express their love, and for women to be pampered and spoiled even more than they already are by their partners. Besides, we don't even get a day off!

Valentine's Day is a great day for business; sales on normally trivial things such as chocolates, flowers and adorable plushies sky-rocket. However, in today's day and age, this does seem to be the only reason for this 'holiday', for people to burn holes in their pockets dishing out money on worthless and (if I may be perfectly honest) meaningless gifts as an expression of 'love'.

To me, love is not about how much you spend on someone or how beautiful and/or extravagant your gifts to them are. Love is meant to be a  joining of two people who deeply and intimately care about one another.Gifts and other methods of pampering should play no large part in love.

To summarize what I'm trying to say, I'm not bitter in the least about being single for Valentine's Day, I just think it's ridiculous that people spend so much money on silly, disposable things as a ay to show their love. I'd much rather spend an evening out with someone I loved, and if they insisted on buying me flowers, I'd just want a few sprigs of lavender, which I find far more beautiful and unique than roses.

When I Get Older...

In ten years, I hope to be fresh out of school, just starting out in my new job as a veterinary technician. I've always thought about working with animals, and taken an interest in medical studies, so it seems like a perfect fit. The schooling will most likely be tough, but I think I can handle it. I'll do my best to anyway.

If I had my way, in ten years I'll be either engaged or at least in a close relationship with someone. Married if I'm lucky, married with children if I'm extremely fortunate. If I could have my dream man, I'd be dating Jensen Ackles, but we can't always get what we want.

 This is Jensen Ackles. Isn't he pretty?

In the future, I aim to have emotional and financial stability, because those are two of the things necessary for a stable home life that some people lack, which is a terrible thing. I believe if one has these things, they can be satisfied, provided they are also loved and love and care for others.



I'm hoping to have travelled a bit in the next ten years, to Holland and Los Angeles to visit good friends,  and to Australia or England just for fun and adventure. Hopefully I won't get to adventurous, as that can sometimes lead to injury, especially for me.

My future holds potential in my eyes, even though it is uncertain. I can only hope that it will be at least close to what I dream it will be.

If the world were mine...
