Welcome! ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** Welcome to my little Den! Here you'll find all sorts of things- mostly blog challenges, but mixed in, you'll notice:  I'm a bit of a fangirl  My life is very busy I enjoy using emoticons  I don't tend to swear, but stuff happens. |
| What did you dream about doing as an adult when you were little? Have you been able to achieve any of your childhood dreams? Share a fact about your life now that you never imagined would come true. As far back as I can remember, I wanted to be in Hi-5. I mean, they were pretty much my childhood idols/heroes/everything you look up to.  Charli, being the youngest, I had decided was the absolute coolest. I mean, her space had a hula hoop swing, for crying out loud.  I didn't actually understand the concept of "famous" back then, but I did understand that you got to sing and dance in front of lots of little kids, and that was what I wanted to do. Alas, we moved to America, and slowly but surely, those dreams disappeared into a cloud of smoke. America had no Hi-5, no hula hoop swings, and no Charli. Not to mention, in America, Mom tried teaching us piano, and then in elementary school, put us into after school tennis, ceramics, and chess, from what I can remember.  Notice how all of those have nothing to do with singing, dancing, or little kids.  So obviously, that definitely didn't work out. And honestly, I really didn't have any new aspirations after that Hi-5 dream slowly dissipated into nothingness... I guess I always held out that small torch that it would come true. And for a split second, it almost did, until I realized their open call auditions in Sydney (I was currently in Melbourne at the time) would conflict with my cousin's piano recital, for which I had tickets (both plane and for the event). So that didn't happen either.  Fast-forward... 4-5 months, though- and there's an announcement on Facebook- they're going to the Baby and Toddler Show to perform (and sell merch) in Melbourne! And they have a "click here to get tickets". Guess what? Tickets were free! And upon Googling, the venue was AT MY SCHOOL. (well, the school owned the building, so same difference, yeah?) Y'know, if that wasn't fated... So naturally, I went. And I went early, because they said the first X number of people get goody bags, and I'm all for a free goody bag. Lotsa stalls for early childhood development, preschools, greek yogurt (of all things ), and family portraits. And there was a petting zoo outside! It was my first petting zoo experience, actually. (Yes, of course I went in) And while I was rather hesitant to touch the animals at first, I eventually did, and I think I ended up with a chicken in my lap or something at one point. I met the cast afterwards and it was a great time. I went back on Sunday because they sent an email on Saturday night saying my ticket was valid the whole weekend. I got another goody bag because I was supposed to meet with a classmate to work on a linguistics project but she forgot, so I ended up staying the whole day and meeting the cast again. And meeting this crazy dude named Stevie who "verbally" accosted me via Instagram messages for mentioning him in my blog post about the event. (see "Invalid Entry"  for my thing about the show/expo)Now let's fast-forward another 2 years.... I've since learned that Charli's hula hoop "swing" is actually called a lyra. It's probably my favorite apparatus ever in aerial classes, and I've learned how to do some pretty cool stuff on it .  I've also taken trapeze classes, which is less fun, and probably on the lower end of my rankings for the apparatuses, but hey, a girl can't really complain when you get to learn 5 apparatuses, right? My last 2 weeks of doing class (I haven't been since before graduation) I started going to a Saturday morning class that teaches 5 apparatuses, so I learned how to do a bit of rope as well. And tomorrow (Friday), I'm going to start classes at a barre studio, which is kinda unrelated, but yeah. So 2 facts about my life I never imagined (in case my rambling threw you off)- 1. Meeting Hi-5, and 2. Learning Lyra! |
