my life to live.

I am so excited! Today I started two things that I've been wanting to do for a long time.

1. I'm getting a kitten at the beginning of September! My sister's friend has kittens right now and they are giving them away, so I went and picked one out today for my very own!
When I was little, if you asked me what my favourite animal is, I would tell you a grey kitten. That went away as I got older, but now I am finally living my child hood dream! My kitten may not be grey, but that doesn't matter to me anymore. I am very excited to have a companion, to have something to take care of and have that is all mine. I am seriously so excited to have my own pet (besides my fish, but he doesn't really count)! It is a girl, and so now comes the task of picking out a name. I am fairly picky when it comes to these things, so I have some thinking to do. Suggestions are accepted! Right now is the perfect time in my life to get a pet; I am single and have a steady job and live on my own. The thing that I am excited about the most is this: companionship. A cat may not be a "man's best friend", but she will give me some company none the less. Can't wait!

2. I signed up for a beginner ballet dance class! Starting in October I will be taking this class at Grant MacEwan. For a few years now I've been talking about how I would love to take a dance class; I even put it on my to-do list for 2012! So now I am finally doing it. I am excited to possibly dress up in tights and dance slippers and learn some technique. I really hope that I enjoy it. But mostly I am excited about doing something that I have never tried before. Something that I do all on my own, without the guidance or security of a friend. I am also proud of myself for actually going out and pursuing it! I've given up on looking for people to do things with, so instead of sitting around wishing that I had a good friend to sign up for activities with, I'm doing it all on my own! I don't want to be hindered anymore by my lack of motivation or friends, so it's time to do the things that I've always wanted to do and love! Life is meant to be lived and loved. And I am excited to live the life that I want.
