7 Weird and Random Facts

Really I shouldn't do this. Because it's just as bad as a forward. And I abhor email forwards. And delete them. Always. Oh Blogger. You have changed the venue, but not the game. *le sigh*

Only to indulge Erika am I doing this. Because I love her. And one of her facts is my fault. I was the missionary who taught her family. :D



So...

1. I love to read kid's books. Like lots of them. The bottom two shelves of my bookcase are all kids books. From little kid just learning how to read, to chapter books and choose-your-own-adventures, to the older teen books.

2. I don't drink pop. I try not to at least. Once in a while (read: every 3 days about) I break down and have a Dr. Pepper. But that's the only pop I will ever touch. If it's anything else, it's not worth the destruction of my internal organs.

3. I am a self-proclaimed bacon addict. I could eat it all day, every day. I just love the stuff. In the restaurant downstairs, our cook tries to keep some cooked always for bacon burgers and what not. But if he leaves the plate anywhere I can get it, the bacon disappears. Quickly. And I get in trouble.

4. I currently live in a one-room apartment with a bed and a sink. There is a kitchen downstairs but we just have a grill, a fryer, and a microwave. My ability to cook is incredibly hampered here. Nonetheless, I still have a spice rack out on my dresser.

5. I hate chocolate. And candy. Like more than pop. Just don't like it. Yech. Unless of course it's cherry coke bottles imported from Germany. Then I can eat a 5-lb bag in like a day and a half :)

6. Before I discovered fashion and Express, I used to dress as a skater. And yes, I skateboard. But I dressed skater before I could skate. One day a kid told me I was a poser because I didn't skateboard. The next day I bought my skateboard and started learning. I've been skating for almost 7 years. I still can't do any tricks. :(

7. I'm on my 9th 200pg. brown journal since High School. But I never write in it as much as I should. If I did that, I'd be on volume XIV by now. I'm sure of it. Currently we are in November. My journal is still in May. Oh sad.

Okay. I tag:
Allie
Becky
Erynn
Jackie
Kerry
Randi
and Aunt Shanna

Woohoo!

I am right there with you being behind in your journal. My journal doesn't even know my husband yet! Oops. Loved the post even though you despise forwards, it was a good one.

Crikey, now I've been tagged 3 times! I'd better get on that at some point.

I Stand All Amazed

This may not make sense. It's jumbled. But sometimes you just need to write. Or blog. And so you do. I love when stories just flow out of me. When I don't have to wrack my brain and consider this and that, and wonder about the other, and then go back and make sure that everything is plausible, or realistic, or coming across the way that I want. When I just sit down, and the words just pour forth, like a cup running over. That's been happening to me recently on some pieces I'm working on and I'm quite pleased. Interestingly, and maybe not by chance, these pieces are ones I've been doing by hand. I wrote 1600 words, and then another 1200, and then a third set I've yet to transcribe into type. But it's the old writing - the way writing used to be for me. The joy is there, and that's so, so important to me. I can't boil it down into a sure-fire recipe, but I know enough to know when I can put my thumb on it; and this is working. I hate how sloppy

I got up this morning and knew that today, for the first time in about a month, I was going to work. I was going to write. And that it wasn't an April Fool's joke. And the absolute, most infuriating thing about that is that I cannot tell you why or how today is different from yesterday. It's actually mind-boggling. If I had an inkling, then I would know for next time. I would get there faster, I would break down less, I would not waste as much energy and effort getting absolutely nothing accomplished. And part of it may just be waiting. Everything should be balanced. Play is just as important as work. If you push and push and push to work, then you will fail. Some people have developed an ability to dig deep and "push through," but I think those people are white-knuckling and they are gonna break down. When I broke down, I just embraced it. I struggled, sure, and I said, I don't like this and I want this go away and I want to get things down and have th

Change is upon me. And I'm so excited. New Out: Moving back to Utah. Because Florida sucks and I'm sooo tired of drama. And being here. New Look: Summer is here, and that means it's time for a change, right? Right. New Outlook: Taking my life back, regaining control, and moving forward in a positive way. And now, let's take a moment. A moment in memoriam. For what was, and what will be again. And now. The moment you've been waiting for. The NEW. Hate me, maybe. But I was tired of the old, and ready for new. Bring on the change.
