Dear my future self, well present as you read this...
Hiiii :D How are you? Life better be good. But yeah, 10 years in the future... But freaky if you think about it. This whole week of thinking about you reading this 10 years into the future has been messing with my already, too much, paranoid mind. I don't even know if I should refer to you as me/myself. Argh. Confusing.. But it's a bit like the episode Blink. When Kathy left a letter for Sally... Or more like when the Doctor left all of those clues for the Doctor. Actually, it's not like that at all.. Seeing as they knew what she was like then. Argh. MESSING WITH MY HEAD THIS IS. I watch too much science fiction. Well, we watch too much science fiction.. Or I did watch too much science fiction. And you're laughing aren't you? I know you are, I am XD
So catch up. It's the year 2011. You're 14, not yet 15... You're just launching the Fez and Prince William just got married to Kate. Oh, and Doctor Who S6 basically just aired in Australia 2 hours ago. Oh my, as you read this you know how it's ended.. Who River Song is.. AHH. Kay, off track again, expectations? I think so. Actually, they're more qusetions and hopes for my 24/25th year old self. We shall have a number of them for you, well I will. Yes.
1) You've been on Doctor Who right? Or Torchwood.. Either one. Hopefully they're still both airing then. They'd better be. If not, go start a petition or something to get it back onto air. OR ELSE.
2) You better still be a nerd. You are right? It's all we've really known... From reading books in the library during recess and lunch to joining Nerdfighteria. Which you are still apart of right? No matter how small the role, you're just there. Aware of it all, helping to decrease world suck.
3) Hopefully, the blog's still going on! Either by us five (If Colin ever resurfaces) or some group of nerds around the age we are now have taken over and are keeping it going and doing a good job with it. (Not as good as we are doing now of course) This blog is awoosome. This people are awoosome. Be in contact with them Caitlin. If you aren't, email them or something.
4) You've written at least one book and gotten it published. Or, at the very least, completed NaNoWriMo.
5) The Fez is up and running. It will be awoosome.
6) You're still friends with who you are friends with now. That's all of them. AND GET IN TOUCH WITH CAITLIN DAMMIT. Oh, and stay close with your family. You need them.
7) You've gotten a job, moved out, aren't living Australia and have been to the UK.
8) Met a guy exactly like the one Hayley described to you a month or so back, when everyone was trying to figure out everyone's futures. The whole PLP thing. Yeah, I know, don't think about how important that was.. I'll figure it out.
9) You've travelled. More than you have already. This includes going to such conventions as Vidcon, Leakycon, Comicon etc.
10) YOU'RE LOVING LIFE.
That is all. Now, have fun 25-year-old me. And let's just hope we'll do something brilliant with ourselves (Well, that I will and that you have and still are). You get the point.
DFTBA.
Kid, you are awesome. Don't give up on any of your dreams! I wish I could go back and tell that to my 14/15 year old self! Seriously though, make sure you do everything you say here... no matter what... pinky promise. I'm 24 and wish I had done all the things I wanted as a 14 year old! So you make sure you do all that and DFT(k)BA!!! okay so I added the "k" in there myself, its for "keep" and I guess you should change be to being... so don't judge, I'm old! haha!
