7 facts about me!

I am doing this in response to another of Amber's blogs! (Also to put off more of my Chemistry homework...)

1. My love language is Words of Affirmation and my personality type is INFJ, and that says more about me than I ever could. Also, I've only met one other person with my love language! and that is the aforementioned Amber! (:

2. I've written stories ever since I was a little girl. In 5th grade, I got extra credit in English, along with another girl in my class (because we were - I can't put this modestly - really far ahead of everyone in our class, so we did this project instead of the actual work for like, 4 months), for writing a chapter book. I wrote about aliens...ahahaha. I don't remember much of the story, but I know I wrote about aliens. I also read something I wrote to 2nd graders. I keep a notebook, currently, of all of my story ideas and characters and I want to hide it from everyone. I think it would be less embarrassing for someone to find my journal than my story notebook. Actually, I know it would be less embarrassing...

3. I am still scared of thunderstorms. Very, very scared.

4. I am kind of bad at thinking of things to say about myself that are in any way interesting...at least, I feel that way. I think it's because I think I'm kind of boring. It's weird, but I do feel that way. But I think that is just because I'm not a very complicated person.

5. I'm not really very politically opinionated, nor do I have a real political stance, but there are things that matter to me. It does not matter which major political party is doing it, if something I care about is being negatively (or positively) affected, that can sway my opinion of the moment. (Just for the record, national parks? Something I care very very strongly about...)

6. I rap in my car with Eminem, AND I also love to croon along with Frank Sinatra. I've taken voice lessons for about 4 years now, but the only place I'll sing, other than with my teacher, of course, is in my car. But I actually don't know that anyone loves Frank or Dean more than I do. (: The point of this fact was that my music taste is...a bit odd. It's been known for my music, on shuffle, to go from Stravinsky to Tupac and then to Counting Crows.

7. Sometimes, when I watch the news or something, and some sad story is told, I will cry, even if I don't know the people and it affects me in no way. I also get really really excited for people when I hear happy stories! Sometimes I get so excited that I can't breathe. And sometimes I will cry so hard, I have to stop watching things for a while...I mainly just avoid watching the news now, haha.

I am definitely not new to blogging, but I am new to blogging here. I have a tumblr, which I adore, but with everything else on it, I think having an actual blog will be nice. (: Mostly, I just want to brag about my little life and all the great things I have in it.

The best part of my day today was probably just hanging around with my cousin/best friend Meghan. She and I have been best friends for years, and no one is even close to her in my life. Her mom's best friend, Tammy, was also there with her son. And I totally love seeing her mom and Tammy together because they were both such a huge part of my childhood (and the beginning of mine and Meghan's close friendship!). But Meghan and I goofed off, and talked, and packed (how many times have I helped them pack now? hehe) and did the Time Warp in her kitchen while we cooked dinner and danced around to songs from musicals, much to the amusement of everyone there.

I also got to have lunch with Kaleb, and spend some time with him this afternoon while he studied for his test! I hope he did well on it! He usually does well, though, so I'm nowhere near as concerned about it as he is.

Cute story for the day: Kaleb and I went to print our biology notes for class this morning, and when I opened my backpack up to put the notes in there, I found my puppy's tennis ball in there! I think Charlie knew how stressed out I was about my other biology test today, and he left me a little good luck charm. (: I love that puppy so much.

I have no idea why this picture looks so weird, but that's me and Charlie! (:

So I guess that's really it for now! That was my day. I am so looking forward to blogging for real again. (:
