Looking for my sheep
I didn't lose my sheep. I'm just looking for a metaphorical one. I guess you could say we're all just looking for our sheep.

Going to be inactive for a while
Good luck to you and to me. I'll be back

Realisation
After a day of doing nothing I came to a realisation. School is not the only way to success. I now see and accept that it is one of the main way to success but even this way is a hit or miss. You may get good grades and be successful in school but it doesn't guarantee you're going to be a success in the real world.
There are other ways to be successful, you can start small and build a business or slowly climb up through positions in the office through hard work. I'm not saying that you should ignore school and start looking for other ways, I'm saying that even if you fail or you don't get the results you want, there are other ways of reaching what you want with life.
It now makes sense to me that life is not a forked road of success or failure. It will make much more sense to compare life with a road that has many turns and has no end, you can drive on this road endlessly and there is no success or failure but it does have a lot of places you can stop on. It really depends on where you stop. You can drive it uphill and stay midway without reaching the peak or you can drive it all the way up then down and continue if you're not content with what you found there.
In the end, you may or may not realise that you've had it good and now you're having a terrible time, then all you do is move on, no matter how tired or in pain you are and if you die, remember all you've achieved. It's not for nothing after all life is about self satisfaction. If you look back and feel satisfied, you did good. No one else can say otherwise.
Wow... These words are so pretty and covered with naivety, clearly I haven't experienced the real world but for now, this is what I believe and I will stand by it.
Our sheep is out there somewhere, you just have to keep going.

Swimming
As the title says I went swimming. I love swimming but not in rivers or lakes or the ocean, things happen in those places. Living things live there!!! They swim or crawl or float and when it swims past you you're like "NOPE! NOPE! NOPE! Done with this!" but in swimming pools you're relaxed and you can see the bottom. The only downside is the people.
The swimming pool had these giant body boards and I got to ride a shark shaped one, it was hard to get the hang of it at first but after a few tries, yaaay I'm sitting on a 2D shark on water!! There was a slide which was disappointingly short but it was still fun.
The other downside when I go swimming is I have to take my glassed off which leaves me half blind for long periods of time!
After swimming, things went wrong! The car keys ran out of batteries and couldn' t open the door until eventually the door finally opened manually but the car thought it was being stolen so it decided to do what it should, which was to mess with its mobiliser which prevents it from starting without help.
I'm back first as I rode with a friend but other members of the family decided to be left behind, mom will stay a bit longer for recovery to arrive and my sister and brother rode with another friend's car.
What is it with me getting stuck in places. I'm not even sure if it's part of my search for my sheep but you know things happen for a reason, because of this I ended up with pizza, still tired from swimming though. Good luck finding your own sheeps and I hope you're prepared with what happens to your search as surprising things will happen.

Trip to the dentist's
I had a dental appointment today so I had to go to the city again for the third time in one week! Not only that but I couldn't go home early because Park and Ride changed prices on peak times and I bought a ticket off peak so of I want to go home at peak time I have to get another ticket that's more expensive!!! Ridiculous!!! I am still tired from my long walks for the past few days, so not only was I tired, I was also irritable. The slightest little thing could set me off. The fact that a quarter of my face is numb due to anaesthetic I was also extremely hungry as I missed lunch and I couldn't eat until the anaesthetic wears off, which did not help my irritability!
After all that, I got to sit awhile in the mall and eat something.... Finally!!
Today was a really bad day. But I guess that happens to everyone. You can't find your sheep without ending up in rough areas. So if at any point in your search for your sheep and haven't come across rough areas, you're doing it wrong!

Laser tag and city day
For Elli's and Maddy's birthday today they decided to go laser tagging. It was my first time and it was very fun. I beat my assassination target, woo!!! It was dark in there and hot.
Before that though I walked to the city with my friends and played the old piano in Aladdin's Cave. Still the same shop, full of old people and old stuff. Some may be cursed or am I just watching too much Supernatural?
I didn't think at all that I'd be painting an elephant today. We finished the day with pizza by the side of a river... Today was fun.
My sheep is out there. I know it.

Lost... In DFS
What is wrong with me?!?! Leave me alone outside and I can find my way home but put me indoors and I'd lose my way. I walked into DFS and guess what it's full of sofas (brilliant work,Sherlock Momes!) I thought the place was huge... Turns out I'm walking in awkward circles. The sofas are pretty damn comfortable and there's this huge swivel chair and I can just sleep in it.... So cozy and it swivels!!! BEST CHAIR EVER!!!!!!
On this chair I feel like a commander! Commander Sherlock Momes of the 58th couch potato division! Who knew sofas could make a man so happy.
Walked along Yarmouth beach, picked up some beach glass, and walked on more dunes... Embryo dunes... Saw some horses and dogs... Still want a dog. This second half of the post is full of ellipses... Can't get enough of them!!
I want this chair, I hope we buy it, my sheep would be so happy... When I find it.

Do you want to build a snowman?
Yup that's right, it's time for a Frozen related post. But not in the way you'd expect. If you liked the other sing along posted earlier you might like this one and as the title suggests we're going to do it to the tune of "Do you want to build a snowman?"
Ready? Here we go.
Do you want to kill a cowboy?
Come on let's get one now.
I never see you anymore, get out of there
It's like you're dead inside
We used to have fun together and now we don't
I wish you'd come back now...
Do you want to kill a cowboy?
Doesn't have to be cowboy...
(Not today, buddy)
Pffffft....
Do you want to kill an old man?
Or ride giraffes around the halls?
I think your period's overdue,
I see your panicked boyfriend on the phone.
It gets a little boring,
Riding all those goats
Just having fun on my own...
(clip clop clip clop)
Meh... That's done, too lazy to think of the rest.
They say filling your time with hobbies helps you find your sheep, and I'm trying out several things though exams are right around the corner... My sheep is out there somewhere and I will find it.
