My "Quirks"....

1-- Although I hate being cold, winter is my favorite time of year because I LIVE for ice fishing!

2--I find it easy to tell others how to live their life, or what to do in a troubling situation, but I have absolutely no idea how to live my own life, and never take my own advice.

3--I am the worst at holding grudges. I can forgive, but forgetting is the hardest part for me. I can literally remember one rude comment a person has said to me, even if it was ten years ago. Chances are I secretly hate them for it to this day also.

4--I believe I have a mild case of hoarding. Bringing myself to throw away something with even a tiny bit of meaning to it is almost impossible. This only makes it even harder for me to leave the past behind. Its one thing I am really trying to work on.

5--I have a passion for sewing and crafty sort of things. However, I havent done any of that for about 3-4 years. After a certain life event, I threw away all of my thread, material, and other supplies. I really wish I hadn't thrown them out. But, I still have my two sewing machines, and really hope to start doing it again in the near future.

6--I am the biggest procrastinator. I will wait until 11 pm to start a 5 page essay due the next day. Luckily for me, I do better under pressure and usually get my best grades when I do it last minute.

Now, to tag 3 people :)

Why Write?

Why do I like to write... good question. I always seem to dread when I have essays due and have to write papers, but once I get started its completely different. I love to write, because its a way to get what is going on in my head out. Writing is an easier way for me to express how I feel because Im not actually saying it out loud. Once I start writing and get ideas out on paper or on a computer, my mind has a million things going through it and they can all just come out. I have been writing my whole life. Its something I picked up from my mom. She loves to write, and shes really good at it. I'll never tell her, but I dug through her journal one day and found the book she started writing. It was really good, and I wish she would have the confidence to finish it and try to get it published, but she wont. When i was younger i used to write plays and short stories all the time. It was a way to make up a life completely different from my own, with characters who were nothing like me. I used to write poems all the time, too. I dont really know why I stopped. Anyone who has read my poems love them, but the only problem is theres only like 2 people who have read them. They are just to personal, and I have issues with letting other people see that side of me. I think its just because I always act so lighthearted that no one can really take me seriously. To sum up this post, I write because I love to, and because its the only way I can truly get my real feelings out there without having to act tough, and like I dont care about anything.
