25 Random Things About Me
I got this idea from being tagged in a Facebook note. Decided this would be a good first post in my blog to let my readers know a few things about me.
25 Random Things:
[1] I have absolutely NO idea what I want to be when I “grow up”… And it kind of scares the hell out of me…I have ideas…but don’t know what I want to pursue so I feel like I am going in circles constantly.
[2] Once I am a close friend to you, I am forever loyal… But most people take that for granted and I end up being pushed away, misunderstood or forgotten about.
[3] My new favorite thing to do is to make jewelry…I’ve been getting really good at it and am trying to sell some of my stuff.
[4] My favorite color has been pink since I was in the 8th or 9th grade.
[5] If I had my choice I would skip getting a career and be a stay-at-home…working on painting, drawing, jewelry and writing. I actually would love to (in addition to being an author)…create my own line of home decor stuff. But going back to #1…It’s just one of my many ideas of things I want to do.
[6] My new favorite candy is the sour starburts..but they are hard to find. Then I like DARK chocolate. yum.
[7] I am suffering a horrible and long streak of writer’s block. I have absolutely no trouble coming up with the ideas for stories…but when it comes time to put the idea out on paper and start writing, I freeze up and can’t do it.
[8] My biggest fear is losing people I love and care deeply for.
[9] My cat gives me kisses…And when she sees that I am upset, she’ll come up to me and start licking my face or meows as if she’s trying to tell me it will be okay.
[10] I wish I could go back in time and do college all over again and apply myself more than I did.
[11] My favorite animals are cats…any type of cat… Tiger, leopard, house cats. I love them all and I want a baby tiger for a pet!
[12] Lately I have been listening to the Foo Fighters a lot. I think they are a pretty good band. But I honestly couldn’t tell anyone who my favorite band is…because I don’t know. I like too many different things and I can’t decide.
[13] I collect movies. I have probably close to 200 or more dvds, maybe. Haven’t counted them recently.
[14] My favorite flowers are lilies, lilacs and roses.
[15] I desperately am hoping I get accepted into Virginia Tech for the creative writing program because it will give me another chance to work at one of the things I want to do. Write. And also will help me get certified to teach because that’s another idea of mine of something I would like to do (which I didn’t think I wanted to do while I was working on getting my BA).
[16] I think one of the best shows I watched growing up was Boy Meets World…It was real, funny, and filled with lots of life’s lessons. hah.
[17] I pretty much taught myself how to do a lot of things: draw, paint, write, make jewelry, make graphics, etc.. But I had help bettering my skills through school, classes and friends.
[18] I love strawberries… Even strawberry scented things and flavored things… They always end up being my favorite.
[19] My eyes become attracted to anything that is pink…I’ll walk through a store and see one pink thing on a rack and I automatically have to go look at it. It’s like: “ooo! Shiny thing!”
[20] I feel accomplished when I finish watching a new movie I’ve never seen before, or when I finish reading a book…because it just means I have one more story crammed into my memory.
[21] I LOVE writing supplies and art supplies…and I get all excited whenever I get new ones… Paper, pens, pencils, journal books, paint, colored pencils, crayons….ALL of that stuff.
[22] I wish I didn’t let things or other people hold me back…Because I feel like I am constantly making decisions to please other people and to not upset anyone. But mostly, because I am afraid of failing at something I try to do…I’m afraid of being judged. So sometimes I don’t want to try because of that. And I know it’s wrong and bad.
[23] My favorite disney movies are Little Mermaid, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty & the Beat and Lion King
[24] Right now I feel like I am living with my head above water, struggling to keep it there.
[25] I have a huge passion for creativity. I love anything creative and artistic.
