(me, March 2011)
I’m not usually much for memes and such but my lovely friend Angie granted me my first ever blog award and I thought I would do it, for fun and because I haven’t posted random facts about myself in a while.
1. I’ve been on a post-it note binge lately. Writing everything and anything I think on a post-it note and then sticking it to the side of my computer (the box, not the monitor. I tried the monitor but it was distracting).
2. I’m trying to go no ‘poo. No shampoo that is! I’ve always hated my hair. It’s fairly thin and it has a lot of extra oils. I can’t use shampoo that ‘adds shine’ because it gets even more oily. Half the time when I shampoo it feels worse than before. For a few years, I’ve known the benefits of no ‘poo, or rather the cons for shampoo. I’ve switched to a more organic brand of shampoo that isn’t as harmful, but my hair still feels icky. And so I’ve decided to try the no ‘poo regimen. I’ll blog more about this, promise.
3. I will talk your ear off. Kind of, I won’t actually be talking. Since I’ve started writing letters to my pen pals and since I’ve been talking to more people via email, I’ve noticed that once I get started…I don’t stop for a while. It’s some kind of weird combo of blogger, writer, and desperate need to talk to someone creative/a girl/someone other than my fiance. Sometimes I feel bad when I write a 7 page letter to a pen pal or a 1000+ word email to a friend, but then I get over it and do it all over again. Wanna talk? Need to vent and have someone talk and talk and talk back? I’m your girl. Really.
4. My fiance wants me to enter a flash fiction contest. Piggybacking off my last fact. Point 1- the theme is horror, and I don’t write horror. He asked why and I said it’s just never been something I’m interested in (he’s obsessed with ghosts btw. And I do love me a good (or awful) horror movie but never into horror books). Point 2- flash fiction? The story, a full story…with beginning, middle, and ending…needs to be 1000 words or less?! Um…no. Does not compute, sorry.
5. I miss school. Or I miss learning and being in that kind of environment. I don’t know what kind of degree I want (if any), or what I want to do with my life. But I know I miss learning and I miss getting to know new authors, poets, photographers, artists. Once we can afford it, I’m planning on taking some classes at the local community college. Seriously random. Anything that sounds interesting, I’m going to get on it. I know that seems like a waste, but my plan is to do it for a semester to see which classes make me happy, which classes I LOVE doing work for. That should help point me in some kind of direction for life, right? We’ll see.
6. I really need to back-up my files. The drive on my computer that stores all my stuff (the other one is for programs)…has about 150gbs free of about 700gbs. Oops. Time to get cracking I think!
7. I love jade. My favorite stone, ever. I have a few stones and I’ve been wanting to find someone to make me a custom ring with them. But don’t really know how to look for that kind of thing, do you have any ideas?
I don’t like leaving anyone out, so anyone who reads this gets the award! Just write up 7 facts about yourself on your blog and link back to me/this post!
