Amy of Sweet Sweet Life tagged me to share seven things about myself.
1. music: Amy's list o' seven was all about music. I am admitting here that I know little about music. There are thousands of great bands out there, and I know none of them. Thus, any musicians/groups you'd recommend, I'll gladly listen to! My current favorites are Jack Johnson, Corinne Bailey Rae and Norah Jones. (mellow MUCH?)
2. childhood: I lived in Korea from about the ages of two to 10: in Seoul and in Taejon. Thus I missed out on a lot of American stuff (including music!) but I got to grow up overseas. I consider that cool enough to counteract the missing American experiences.
3. watching: I'm addicted to finding new material by the comedian Tim Hawkins. Went to his performance Saturday night and got a photo taken with him after. I had laughed and laughed until my cheeks hurt.
4. skating: Wanted to compete in roller skating figure skating competitions when I was younger. Then it switched to figure skating in ice skating. Did not pursue either, but am still dreaming of owning both a pair of white roller skates with pom-poms on them and a pair of white ice skates – and looking graceful while skating.
5. secretly creative: Maybe I should say inwardly a creative-wannabe…. I can draw stick figures but appreciate beauty around me – I just can't recreate it. It's like a music pastor I once knew – who wasn't very musical but he was the most content hearing beautiful music and leading a choir. I love art, beauty, pretty photos and beautiful objects found in everyday life.
6. reading: I have been reading beyond grade level since I was six. At seven I was given the set of books in the Chronicles of Narnia series and read the entire set at least twice that year. I blame my nearsightedness in a family of non-vision-impaired people on too many of my late nights under a blanket with a flashlight – reading books at close range.
7. driving: dream vehicle for looks is a red Toyota Rav4* but for function and durability – a Honda CRV. However, my 12 year old Honda Civic, Sophie, is hanging in there. Until it no longer runs, I'm with Sophie. After that? A new-to-me small SUV! [*I see Rav4's everywhere I go.]
Tagged no longer! My turn to tag……Nicole, Sharona and Erinn Please feel free to participate but there's no pressure. Anyone else want to share their "seven"?
