Steph at The Little Stuff of Life, Ian's sister, tagged us on her blog to do this little blurb: 7 things about ourselves. Well, it's been sometime since he or I have said anything to you all so it seemed like a good way to get back into this thing.
7 things:
1. I can do anything, and often do, until someone sees my accomplishment and says "Wow! You did that! Must have been hard!" exclamation point exclamation point. And then my head says. "oh! that was hard? I guess I can't have done it. must have been luck." and consequentially I rarely am as good the second time. Self defeat is my worst enemy next to fear.
2. I want more than anything to get into NAU's nursing program, get great grades, find a kickin job and be able to put Ian through school, or let him spend some time just writing, while neither of us worry about money and I spend all day helping people. This thought makes me giddy :)
3. Sometimes I chew on my tounge...which is a muscle...weird.
4. Billie Holiday, probably my all time favorite singer-who can bring me through any emotion-was my first secular music love. I fell in love with Lady Day when I was 12 years old after watching the movie Forever Young. And The Very Thought of You is still in my top 10 favorite song list. ::sigh::
5. I learned to love from Eric and Misha. By the way they love each other, their kids, and everyone around them. Thanks.
6. I find the longer I spend with myself the more I find that I don't actually change that much. My ideas I mean. It pleases me, really when I look back at myself as a child. Don't get me wrong, i was a hellian--my awful temper was explosive, but I know most of that was situational. I remember so much of my childhood, that little girl that i see, her heart was really full love, I think she just didn't know where to put it. I think that gives me hope for myself.
7. My brother Josh is my favorite person in the world, next to Ian. I can't imagine being more proud of anyone. He's an amazing person, full of love and concern for the community surrounding him and the world at large. He is one of the smartest people I have ever met. I spend an awful lot of time wishing i could convince him of what an impact he has made on me, Ian, and so many of the other people he meets and has relationships with. I can always count on him to make me feel better and there are few people who can put me into tears like he can just by the amount of pride, concern, love, hope, and appreciation that I feel for him. All that at once just makes me a mushy-sister mess. now i'm all drippy!
:) and there you have it.
oh, so tagging!
I'll tag Eliza Jane at Best Laid Plans of mice and Beth whom I love and adore.
