Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

So, on the fourteenth of March 2009, I made a list and published it on Gaia of the things I would like to achieve by the time I hit fifteen. Well, it's my fifteenth birthday tomorrow, and it's time to re-visit my list, and see what I have and haven't achieved.

-Get Black hair...

This one was going to be a toughie to begin with, seeing as I kind of knew that my parents would never let me dye my hair proper, full on black. However, this became a partial success when I dyed my hair back in...October I think, a reddish-brown colour. That quickly faded, so I re-dyed it...which made it look blonde. And last week, I dyed my hair again, it looks black in some lights! So, this is a partial success! Hurrah!

-Get Clear skin...

Yet again, this really was going to be a toughie. My skin was absolutely disgusting when I wrote that, it was sore all the time, and was just...ugh, red. I started cleansing, washing, moisturising all that jazz, and recently I got some medication from the doctors. I used to break out every few days before, now I only break out on my period, and even that's a very minor break out, so much so that you can barely class it as a break out...just a few appearances, which quickly disappear! On the whole, a HUGE SUCCESS!

-Lose Lots of weight...

Well, I have to admit, I only got round to this very, very recently, say....Christmas time? Well, at least I thought that I only got round to it recently. In fact, when I weighed myself in the February half term, I had lost an entire stone since Halloween! You have no idea how Happy I was! Now, I know you're sitting there thinking 'pffffft, that's not much', but considering who I am, it's a massive achievement. I have a slow metabolism, a really, really terrible sweet tooth and I'm as lazy as hell, so to lose a stone, and get back down to nine stone, was a massive achievement for me. Success!

-Get used to physical contact...

This was the first one I achieved. It started with random hugging of all of my friends, and then the Anime Convention in London! The amount of free hugs and kisses I go there was amazing! And completely countered my fear of human physical contact. Now, I'm happy and more confident than ever, and hug people who I don't even talk to that much.

So, what are my aims for turning sixteen?

-Perfect my main make up using techniques
-Tone up and get fitter
-Revise hard for all of my exams
-Don't slack off on coursework
-Become a regularly literate Role-Player
