The 8 Random Things "game" has finally caught up with me, thanks to my tagger: Laissezfaire.
So... here are 8 Random Things that ya'll might be interested (or surprised) to know about me. I'm also supposed to tag 8 more bloggers, but so many of you have probably already done this one that I am giving an open invitation to anyone who would like to play. If you take me up on it, let me know and I will add a link to your post on here for everyone to see.
No. 1
I am the oldest of 8 children… 7 girls and 1 boy. My littlest sister is 1 year younger than my daughter… which is a little bit strange, but fun too.
No. 2
My favorite:
Foods/drinks: almond croissants, chai tea lattes, strawberries, and artichokes.
Colors: aqua blue, black, and canary yellow
Movie: Amelie
Music: my current favorites are, Shiny Toy Guns, Blonde Redhead, Tori Amos, and more.
No. 3
I love to sing in my car (and in the shower)… but I don’t like to sing around other people (even though I used to sing in my high school choir).
No. 4
I have an amazing sense of direction, and rarely (never) get lost… but I can NEVER remember street names. If I were to give you directions they would sound something like: Drive straight until you get to a narrow curve in the road… turn left at the tree that looks like an ice cream cone, drive until you see the library on your right and turn left again at the pink house… etc.
No. 5
Like many artistic people I have struggled with depression to varying degrees throughout my life. There is a lot of stigma associated with the illness, and even as I’m sharing this now, I worry what many of you may think of me. In any case, providing assistance to those who suffer from mental illness is something that I hope to do in my lifetime.
No. 6
I’m legally blind without my glasses or contacts.
No. 7
I only wear socks when absolutely necessary… because every single time I put a pair on I inevitably step into something wet. Wetness and socks do not mix… eek!
No.8
I’ll have some exciting news to share with you all in the very near future... (No, I’m not expecting)!
