Well, this is it. Yes, I sit in that incredibly hard antique wooden chair. And yes, that is a cup of moldy Diet DP. It's been there for about a month. This picture has inspired me to get rid of it. (Finally!) I like being able to look out the window while I'm on the computer, and when Cate is with me, she likes it too. She can't get enough of leaves.
Day Two: What were you like in high school? What extracurricular activities, if any, did you take part in during high school? Did you consider yourself a writer?
Ugh. I was miserable in high school. I was an outsider. I wanted so badly to be a part of something, but I never really was. I took drama every year, but only had one line in one play ever. I played clarinet in the band, and made first chair my senior year, right before I moved. I was moody, angsty, and melodramatic. I had a grudge against the world because my dad had died. I worshiped a boy who didn't have the time for me. I was convinced I had no friends, but looking back, I see that I had tons, many of whom hung out with people they didn't like, because I brought them together. I was luckier than I thought.
I wanted to be a writer in high school. I didn't have time for journalism or the creative writing team, but I was (and still am) forever starting stories I'll never finish. I have a head-full of stories and books and epics in my head, but no patience to write them down. Oh well.
Day Three: What are your guilty pleasures?
Ooooh, I like this question. Let's see. I think of guilty pleasures as things I actually feel a bit guilty about...like the movie "Overboard". I realize it's stupid, but I still watch it every time it comes on TV.
Pedicures. I would get one every day if I could, but I've never walked away from one feeling ok about the money I just spent.
Hannah Montana. Enough said.
Make-up and nail polish. I l.o.v.e. buying this stuff, but I hardly ever use it. Doesn't stop me from wandering the cosmetic aisle every time I go to the store by myself.
Earrings. I have 200+ pairs of earrings. I like quirky ones like my squirrels and my cassette tape earrings, and I like big dangly flashy ones. I like them all. I should really stop buying them though!
Haircuts. Getting my hair cut is one of my favorite things ever. I love everything about it. I love the smell of the hair salon, the sound of scissors cutting my hair, the time it takes. Really, I love anything that has to do with my hair, except the wind.
And, just for fun: a picture of Cate and her buddy Kreacher.
yeah for summercamp!
ReplyDeleteThere are all of these new Foot Massage places that have sprung up all over our town. They offer a $25 hour long foot massage. I LOVE these places :) It is like a deluxe pedicure without the nail polish, and cheap enough that you can get one every couple of weeks!
Oh and nail polish, I would get a manicure every week. I actually started paining besties little daughters nails. SO MUCH FUN! She now knows where I keep the nail polish and will go to the drawer and demand that I paint her nails. Last time I did her toes, and she refused to wear shoes or socks for a week because she wanted to see her painted toes! If I lived closer to you I would be there painting sweet cate's nails!!!
wind and curly hair definitely do not go together! and I love getting my hair cut too, so refreshing!! high school is tough for so many people...sorry it was that way for you too, thankfully it's over :).
