holiday_wishes, and thought i should probably post it here, in my personal journal. enjoy!1. First off I would like everyone to seek out a downtrodden person in their life and do something to help lift their spirits. We all know someone who had a rough year, or has a lot to deal with right now. Prepare a meal for them, watch their kids, take them shopping, anything! It's nice to be reminded how much people care at tough times!
2. I will be in boot camp for the marines pretty soon, so pen pals would be great! Just send your address to drucylam@yahoo.com by about december 5th!
3. As I will be going into boot camp, lessons at a local shooting range would be appreciated! I'd like to fire a rifle a time or two before i leave! I have no idea what my aim is like, or how a rifle feels in my hands or firing, any of that. I'd rather have a little bit of knowledge going in!
4. A workout buddy would be great! Once again, this is only for the next 3 weeks or so. I have been spending massive amounts of time at the gym, and it gets a little boring. I could get a 2-week pass for someone if needed! Also, a buddy for just running around in the hills near where i live would be great too!
5. Please, please, please SPAY AND NEUTER YOUR PETS!!! It's more humane than letting them reproduce! I've seen 1 cat turn into more than 10 in a year! The more pets, the more will be diseased and the less individual attention each can get. There just aren't homes for all those pets, either. It's too likely you'll wind up with 4 or 5 young adults ready to inbreed. I've seen this happen many times!
6. More friends on lj and myspace would be good. As you're cool with the fact that i'll be gone for a while and we have similar interests, add away! my myspace is http://www.myspace.com/oksoimhere
7. You can make me pets happy if you'd like! My mid-sized dog LOVES anything that squeaks, but eats it if it's not really tough. We like to put mardi gras style beaded necklaces on her, especially girly colors. They don't last forever, though, so replacements would be great! My cats love anything with feathers or fur, especially if it jingles/crinkles/etc. they all like treats. They will miss me when I'm away, so anything to make their lives more enjoyable would be appreciated! These wouldn't have to be sent before I leave, as someone will still be living there when I'm gone.
8. Thank whoever raised you for what they did. Taking care of another person can be really tough. Even if you think your parents (grandparents, whoever it was) messed up a lot, just remember they're only human and you might have done the same thing in their situation.
9. Become a more rounded individual. Explore this world we live in! Take a class or read some books on a subject you know nothing about, or from a viewpoint that's not your own. Visit somewhere new, whether it's a new cafe down the street, or another country. Learn to get along with all types of people!
10. Strive to better yourself. Take care of your body and mind. Work on your weaknesses. Ask trusted friends what you can improve on, and work on it! If everyone was the best person they could be, can you imagine what this world would be like?
