- I'm one of the few and far between girls who is genuinely terrified of concrete commitment
- I can read a book a day and still function on a human level--i.e. work, bathe, sleep, etc.
- I spent a month in Ireland, March 2009, and now my heart will never be in the US with me again
- I love to write, and on the surface I appreciate the fact that I'm fairly sufficient at it, but I have a problem with self fulfilling my prophecy of failure
- I love to dance, and spent ten years in lessons, but was never really all that great at it
- I can not sing a note to save my life, yet I belt out the country music in my car
- I've made some severely bad decisions in my life, and they haunt me. All the time. Especially when I'm attempting to fall asleep.
- I am terrified of death. Not the actual act of death, but the unknown that occurs thereafter. I have faith, but I worry that I will cease to exist in any form, or float in a black nothingness for eternity. Yes, I'm irrational.
- I am very secure in my faith. I know my god and goddess are always with me, guiding me, protecting me. I love Her so much my heart aches with it.
- I am Wiccan, but I'm seriously bad at keeping up with ritual and magick. I wish I had an Elder to chastise me.
- I love to learn, when I'm not being forced to. I'm going back to school to get my degree just because I want to, not because my parents decree it.
- Sometimes I worry that my sisters don't like me, because I worry that I'm not the best big sister I could be, even though I love them both more than anything or anyone in the world.
- My dog is my soulmate. I like her better than I like most people.
- I am a world class procrastinator. It makes me hate myself. I need to write. I want to write. I have no motivation to do so. I have half finished stories and novels all over my damn computer, and one day, they will be finished. One day.
- I'm a dispatcher for law enforcement. I hear some crazy things.
- My flash fiction piece, How to Kill a Baba Yaga, is being published Jan 27th in a local newspaper. I won second place in the category for their literary contest. The way my heart beat when I read the congrats email, it was like falling in love.
- I applied and was accepted to Colorado College in Colorado Springs. My Mom cried when she had to tell me I got in, but I couldn't go because we couldn't afford it.
- When I was young, ten or so, I almost drowned at Hurricane Bay, when Six Flags was Kentucky Kingdom. The waves started and I was too far out. People on inner tubes were pushing me under and I couldn't surface. This big, burly black man reached under and lifted me, then carried me like a football out of the water. Then he went back in. I'll always think he was my guardian angel.
- I am so in love with Ireland that I'll never be the girl I was before my trip there last year. After a month in that country, my heart and soul will now forever belong there.
