The Ten Years Meme. I stole it from eyesofshinigami , who is awesome by the way.

( So much has changed! )

All in all I'm amazed at how much I've grown and how much has happened and changed since then. When I went to highschool 9 and a half years ago, my grades suddenly went through the roof, and not a year after that I was making friends and didn't flinch when classmates cracked jokes and was participating and healing. Scouting was a big part in my life and from the little sister I became the one all the others would turn to when they had problems and The Internet came, I started writing stories on a Dutch Harry Potter forums and got very popular. I met many wonderful people. Then when I was fifteen I moved, and for me that came just at the right time because I'd grown out of the old role patterns I was stuck in at that moment and it gave me the oppurtunity to build a new me in a new place. I had my first boyfriend (all very innocent at 15) and found out I liked girls. I made up my mind that I wanted to be a child and youth psychologist and set out to do just that. That was just five years. The last five years I've had my fair share of problems and growing but I've been building off of that.

Random Note: Castlefest = STRESS O.O

Stolen from... I don't know who again. I think this might be pretty much right actually. I want a sweet, cheerful person who is... Well... Interesting. I'm only surprised intelligent is so low on the list because... Come on, intelligence is SEXY.

Random Note: Dear gods, my English improved since my first English LJ entrees....

So years back I did this meme called the johari window. It's essentially about how you view yourself, and how others view you and the discrepancies between those two things. What I'm curious about now, is if the results now will differ from the results back in 2006. There's a positive and a negative version, and where I didn't dare do the negative one last time, I'm going to do that, too, this time around.

Please fill them out for me? It only takes a really short while!

I'm curious to see what you guys will respond!

Random Note: Be forewarned. I am absolutely not writer-y lately, so I give no guarantees in terms of length, time-span and quality. Just saying...

Commented on this on... A bunch of people's journals, really, so I really needed to get around to posting it. We'll see what it brings.

The first TEN people to comment in this post get to request a drabble of any pairing/character (from one of my usual fandoms) of their choosing from me. In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their ability level. If you absolutely can't write, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to offer drawings, writings or icons or something instead.

Fandoms I'm able to write:

Saiyuki
Weiss Kreuz
One Piece
Bleach (I'll try?)
FMA (no minor characters, it's been ages)
Harry Potter (man that's a while ago)
Tsubasa (never tried but I'm willing to)
Doctor Who (see above)
Torchwood (and once more)

Also, anything original goes. I'm a master of thinking up weird stuff and characters on the spot, so shoot.
