Guiding light of Angela's voice

 Angela and I had a verbal fight, but now our future is back to being bright. You may ask what we fought over; the answer is our friendship. I've recently worked on the sequel to the Angela and Murray story, 'What Happened to Katheryn. This story currently has 510 words, without little birds. Recently as of the 24th of January 2023, I had the privilege of being accompanied by Angela and Anika to my psychology. You might wonder what is wrong with me? I have some things going on now, although I prefer not to always show it. When I got the privilege of having Angela accompany me to Psychology, my heart was filled with glee! There are a few reasons this could be; one is that she was previously able to keep my mental health afloat, just like I was in a boat. Why does this fill me with glee? Well, you see, she promised me that she would be there when I was a scare. Angela's voice is like most, although it can sound slightly moist; 6 years ago today, I was finishing a holiday with

Surf Therapy

 One morning when I was in Kirra, sitting beside the old Pizza Hut (which has now turned into Sibblings restaurant) with Alice, a van was also beside a car that said Surf Therapy.

Intro to screen writing

 This was a course I tried to be part of this year. But it won't probably happen until next year or the year after now.  Because it is official. I am going to Japan at the end of the year! So that takes priority over the courses I would like to do. Going to Japan is like a childhood dream come true. I have been waiting since I was 14, and I am now 29. As to what I will find in Japan, you will have to look over the Japan blog later, as I do not think there is anything on there right now.   Anyways, back to screenwriting. I found a good book from Screen Craft that was called Intro to Screenwriting. I want to do the course through the Australian Film and Radio Association. Check back on this blog later, and you might be a bit more surprised to see what I have created!

Understanding Animal Behavior at CWS

Image
 This afternoon, I welcome you to a brief understanding of animal behaviour!! Now, as some of you already know, I completed my course on Animal Behaviour on the weekend ending 26th of March 2023. From a theoretical standpoint, I already had a baseline understanding (from a theoretical standpoint) of some of the stuff taught in the course. But from a practical standpoint, it was all new to me.  I personally learnt what cues were. And what bridges are, along with the four quadrants of consequence. Secondary reinforces and the power of choice (for an animal) amongst multiple other sub-headings. It looks to me as if I only reached page 13 of 27. I will endeavour to go through the booklet at a later stage. But for now, I have some fun stuff for you.    My plans moving forward into the future are to do another course through CWS called Handling Mammals in Care. This course is in May. Much like the one I just attended, I will not have much content until the course occurs.  Many thanks. And un

Sex vs Disability

Now, this blog is a little bit different as I do not have much experience in this area.  So, please don't quote me if I say anything amiss in this blog.  My experience with sex is not really that much! Practically. But, I do have a lot of knowledge in regards to it anatomically. So when I was younger, I grew up thinking that I never wanted kids. And at that stage, I also did not want to have sex. But there came a time when the opportunity came around, and I said to the lady who was working with me then that I would not turn the opportunity down if it came around. And the right opportunity eventually did. Was I happy with it? Well, I wouldn't say I was, but I also wouldn't say I wasn't. I was very uneasy initially because, like most people, we have difficulty opening up about our personal life. And for disabled people, it is even harder because we need people to assist us with our personal life. For me now, I see a sex therapist by the name of Dr Marita Heck. She is a ve

29 and feeling fine - through the eyes of a wheely roamer!

 So over the past few days, I have seen the inside of a few shopping centres more enjoyably than usual, but I try not to get too over myself or up myself at the moment because things are changing and personally my mood hasn't been the best. I've again had back-to-back doctor appointments and trying to deal with other things, but thankfully, I've gotten back into some more of my physical activity in the pool. Other than this, I recently celebrated my 29th birthday, I recently tried to delve more into the mental health side of things for myself, and I've tried to be more punctual in this area because, in the past, I've had very little interest in this area. My shopping sprees have been very eventful, they have seen me at tweed city and Robina town centre both times, and I'm yet to go again, so upon saying this I don't know when that will be, I do thank everyone for all the birthday wishes, I know I've been very slack on Facebook lately but if you see me ac

Pokemon Nurse Joy

 As for those who have been close to me or know me directly or indirectly, you will know that nurse joy has been my favourite pokemon character for a long time. Now a lot of people ask me why this is, and in recent times, once again, my perception of this question has changed. The reason for that is yesterday, my uncle Mick asked me what attracted me to Pokemon in the first place and how things had changed over time. One of the parts of my answer was: I used it for stress relief when I was younger, and it used to make me extremely happy, and it was something similar to what I mentioned in the blog "Unexpected Shopping Spree". How has my perception of these 2 questions changed over the years? Well, it changed in leaps and bounds as I can't spend the time I want to research what was and still is one of my favourite subjects - Pokemon. A few years ago, there was an April fools joke that came out at the end of March or April, that was a Pokemon University Degree schedule, whi

Lul in creativity

Of recent weeks, I have found it difficult to write. But, in terns of other forms of creativity things have been flowing moderately well. Not that I have been able to sell any yet, I have done a few more artworks and I've done them in the hopes of the selling them at cafes and places like that, that might accept my artistic flare. Not selling my art has caused me to become a bit depressed but I try to not let it get me down. I know in life things are not always meant to be easy. And for me, earning money is one of those things that has always been somewhat difficult. As to why this is, I have never really known the answer because I have always tried to put myself out there and, make myself as active as possible. But unfortunately, this activity has not led to any paid jobs as of yet. I have tried contacting a few businesses in regards to this and hope something comes up soon. If it doesn't, I'll just keep doing what I do best an plot along.  

International Zebra Day 2023

  Zeb Eastern and Southern Africa Habitat Savannahs, grasslands, woodlands Diet Herbivore grass Height 3.61-5.25 FT 110 -160 cm Several species of African equids (horse family) united by their distinctive black-and-white striped coats. Popular breed Plains Zebra They have one toe on each foot and cannot see the color orange. Unique Bold Stripes. The pattern of stripes differs from zebra to zebra, making each of the animals as unique as snowflakes. They bunch together to confuse color-blind predators. Lions mistake the bunched stripe pattern as grass. They run in a zig-zag pattern when being chased, making it more difficult for their predators to capture them. Top speed 25 MPH 40 kph Zebras evolved among the Old-World horses within the last 4 million years. Life cycle Weaning Zebra foals start to graze at one month and are weaned at 7-11 months. Reproduction Zebra females can mate year-round, but most births occur in rainy season. Migration Some zebra populations migrate long distances

Where would I live?

 Many people ask me, where would I live if I didn't live with my parents? And truth be told, to be brutally honest, I don't know. Place number 1 would be somewhere outside of Sydney, so it would be easy to commute to Sydney because everything I want to do ends up being in Sydney. And most importantly, I guess I could add that I'd be much closer to my favourite vet, Dr Chris Brown. Place number 2: Well, this one is often joked about with people close to me or, funnily enough, Angela. This place would be at the end of a culdesac in Banora Point; it would actually be Angela and Murray's house. Now, why would I move here, you ask? Well, for a few reasons, one being that it would be closer to my parents than Sydney, two being that I've always imagined myself living with them for some reason, and three being that I would feel comfortable. The 3rd place would be Sophie's new apartment and/or future house. Still, this place is not viable at the moment because her new ap
