The Rules Are: Once you have been tagged, you have to write a blog with 10 weird random things, facts, or habits about yourself. At the end, you choose 10 people to be tagged to write about 10 random things about themselves.
Ha ha ha, this can be amusing...
1. I’m a huge art nerd! If I had my choice between my cat and owning an original Kandinsky, I’d probably give up my cat (assuming he was going to a good home.) A few artists I love are Picasso, van Gogh, Magritte, Kandinsky, and Hockney. Wanna make me really happy? Take me to an art museum!
2. I’m a preschool dropout. I remember coming home one day and telling my mom I didn’t want to go back anymore because all they did was take sleep and paint. At my preschool you weren’t allowed to paint unless you took a nap…I never got to paint. Maybe this attributed to my love of paintings…
3. I check my Google Reader at least 3 times a day. I wish people would update their blogs more often so I’m not bummed when I check it and have nothing new to read.
4. I love to sing! I sing in the shower, in the car, at my desk at work, when I’m cooking dinner, while I’m reading blogs…all the time. I'll actually keep singing even if someone's talking to me sometimes. My voice isn't too bad, but it's not great unfortunately.
5. I eat popcorn at least once a week. It’s been my go to snack since I got married. I’ve always liked popcorn, but since I got married I’ve been eating it like crazy. And I don’t just leave it plain; I dip it in parmesan cheese, a lot of parmesan cheese. I’m actually eating popcorn right now, but no parmesan cheese. :[
6. I was a ballerina when I was younger. I was the sugar plum fairy in my ballet school’s production of the Nutcracker one year.
7. I used to bite my nails all the time, even if I had acrylic (fake) nails. It seems like since I started working at church I’ve stopped. Must be the lack of stressing about going to a job I don’t like. :]
8. My family asks me all the time “When are you going to have a baby?” It’s super annoying! What even worse is sometimes they’ll rub my tummy and ask if there’s a baby in there yet. Really annoying, especially because I’ve told them all several times that we’re waiting to have kids, we’re just not ready for that yet, plus we’d like to enjoy just being married for a while. Don’t worry, we’ll be fruitful and multiply, just not right now.
9. I tend to listen to the same albums over and over again. When I get a new album I’ll usually listen to only that ‘til I know all the words. I’m not a big fan of instrumental music because I can’t sing along. The only exceptions are classical pieces that I played in high school because they bring back so many memories. Lately, I’ve been listening to Sara Barielles, Ingrid Michaelson, the Across the Universe soundtrack, the Beatles Love soundtrack and the Philadelphia Orchestra’s Mussorgsky - Pictures from an Exhibition.
10. I love to photograph! Most people know this. I have a blog dedicated to just that. Lately though I’ve used photoshop to edit and enhance my photos. It makes me a little bit sad that I can’t produce the really neat photos without using photoshop because I used to be such a photography purist. But with the change I’ve found myself wanting to learn how to use the Adobe suite more. (How do people make their pictures look super old and distressed?) Anyone wanna teach me?
Bonus: I love to cook too! I make really good Italian chicken and I make better mashed potatoes than your granny!
I’m gonna tag...in alphabetical order...
