Your right, I haven't done this one! I'll do this in the next day or 2, thank you for tagging me!
I like your list too. (=
Thanks for tagging me, my first one! I love being included. I didn't realize how hard those lists are- it took me ages to do. I'm a reflective person, but don't think I spend enough time on myself - at least not necessarily my creative self. I like how your answer about ice cream being a food group, it definitely should be!!
Oh I love your answers!!! I really related to your insecurities of never feeling as pretty as your friends and not feeling as smart as the person you're in an argument with. I was just discussing with a friend last night about how I always avoid confrontations and "cave in" to things, and I couldn't exactly pinpoint why, but you said it here. It's that fear of being outsmarted. I love all of the things you can and want to do. You're so inspiring!!
Red hair and bellydancing -- so achievable. Actually, your stuff here is all achievable, and not out-there fantasy stuff. That's nice to see. It shows you love your life!
there are so many things I could totally relate to here...
Like Irene, I felt that there was so much on your list that I could relate to. I would definitely like to one day take belly dance lessons and drive stick, and I'm always itching to write more! Also, the thing that resonated with me most was feeling like the person that you're arguing with knows more than you do! That happens to me all of the time!
I just loved your list!
P.S. Who says ice cream isn't a food group?
P.P.S. You'd look fabulous as a red head. I'm a "helped" red and I can't imagine being any other way.
cool list...
from a fellow
"color-er"
teehee...
:)
I like your list. I'm not sure what driving "stick" is back in Indiana, but next time your up this way, let me know and I'll teach you how to knit, sew and drive my standard transmission.
I'll also dig out some gems I used to wear when my nose was pierced, some scarves that looked better on me when my hair was red and photos I took on my solo trips to Scotland and across Canada and back. I love being reminded not to take my experiences for granted and I'll bet you'll find others wanting a lot of what you already have, too.
*you're
Cool list!
I know I'm echoing Cate here, but I swear these were going to be my two comments before I read hers -
1)I'm pretty sure ice cream IS a food group. Right? RIGHT?? (whimper)
2)You should totally try red hair! I wanted it for YEARS and kept chickening out because I thought it would look stupid. But finally at some point I thought, y'know...it's just HAIR. Hair grows. Hair can be recolored a few weeks later if you hate it. It's such an easy thing to try that now I don't know why I waited - I now wish I'd gone red years ago! (And people who didn't know me pre-red almost always assume mine is natural.)
Great list! And I am shocked -- horrified, really -- learn that ice cream isn't a food group?!
Hello! I just found your blog and was so happy to see my meme is traveling!(I made up the questions for the list above :) I loved your answers and have had such a nice time reading your posts and getting to know you. I will be back to visist again soon!
