Helloo
Honestly, I should believe that I am forgiven. The thing is I had one of the most depressing and emotionally stressing exam periods in my life. Let’s not dwell on that though. I’m lucky I made it out alive. I almost went insane. Anyway, I was thinking earlier about life...want to know you are getting wiser (old), you start dwelling on life. I was thinking, my life has been ‘alright’ this year. I have a caring family, the two most wonderful best friends a gal could ask for, a close network of friends...but what else? So, I came up with this grand idea to welcome December with a bang. Coming next week, I plan to accomplish the most exciting brain refreshments I have done. I mean, I do deserve to kick back and relax Ziggie style, seeing as I was almost declared bonkers and an unfit civilian. So, here is my list of 20 things (since I’m 20), 20 things Ziggie should do before Sunday next week. (That’s as creative as I’m gonna get on this one).
- Write 5 short stories. Make them African and full of drama.
- Practice Joan Armatrading’s Love and Affection on the guitar
- Take yourself out shopping for at least two expensive pieces of clothing
- Try eating something you’ve never tried before
- Clean your room
- Live up to active Sunday by jogging every morning. (Wait, I don’t have running shoes...I’ll make a plan at number 3 on the list).
- Listen to Underdog by Kasabian as much as you can because next year you will have to move on
- Come up with new ideas for that play you are planning to write
- Go for an apprenticeship interview at a local catering company
- Open your money box and deposit the cash into your new savings account at the bank, which you are yet to open.
- Adore your new baby niece because she is just so precious.
- Take your nephew out for ice-cream
- Pick out an outfit for church next week...it’s been months dude
- Wake up at 7am on one of the days and make the family breakfast (...okay, I’ll have to think about this one first)
- Make muffins or biscuits because you’ve missed baking
- Wash my blankets
- Buy MGMT’s Congatulations
- Call someone you have not spoken to for ages. Just for the sake of it
- Draw, or paint something magnificent
- Make sure you get all of this done.
Phew, this is a long list. If you want to know how old you are then make yourself one of these. I also realise that this list may strike some of you as safe and boring, for a 20 year old. Well, ladies and gentleman, this is what you do when you don’t have a man! And when you are in a dead beat village without any decent shopping malls or youthful hangouts, like the movies (hehe), or when the only thing you would be looking forward to if this list were inexistent was Christmas...This is how you get yourself a life after a tough few months at school. You should try it. Now, let me go and prepare myself mentally for Monday, when the list activates.
Bee-bye!
