quickie.

The goals thing got me thinking. Some stuff I want to do:

Ride a horse
Learn guitar
Learn violin
Have a party at Sugar's Tea Room
Learn French
Learn Japense
Kayak down the Susquehanna


In the nearer future, please.

Day #8- Short term goals for this month and why.

- Get this job at the Times Leader that I'm patiently waiting on. Why? Because it's been way too long since I've had an ACTUAL job and I LOVE LOVE LOVE to write and this is the job I've been waiting for.

-Get in shape. Why? Because for about six years now I've been saying I would do this.

-Organize all my books and records; paint my bookshelves. Why? Because my room is a god damn mess.

-Start to learn guitar. Why? Because I've had one since I was 16 and never really played it. Also, my good friend Shannon is moving back to the Dub and is willing to give me lessons.


Notice how a lot of these have to do with my procrastination? Yeaaa.

Day #7 - A picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on you.

Mr. Johannes Gutenberg,

Thank you for inventing your printing press, thus jump starting the industry I work in today and the many works of literature I consume on a daily basis.

Day #6 - Favorite super hero and why.

Anthony Edward Stark
aka
Tony Stark
aka
This sexy hunk of metal:



I'm not even going to lie to you - this has a lot to do with Robert Downey, Jr.

I have always loved comic books; Marvel, in particular. I've never actually had an absolute favorite. I'd say Spiderman because he was always forefront in my mind. But, in all honesty, Tony Stark is my favorite because of the person he is. And the way RDJ personifies him? Perfection.

I really like Stark because he's a larger-than-life personality. He's cocky, he's witty, he's a womanizer. He's kinda sexy. But, after a life changing kidnapping, he turns himself around and really betters himself as a person. Without losing his wit and womanizing skills, mind you.

The Iron Man movies are spectacular, too.

So yes, Iron Man it is. The only DC character I like is Wonder Woman, but we'll save that for another time.

Day #5 - A picture of somewhere you’ve been to.

Opry Hotel in Nashville, TN. Yup, this is the INSIDE of the hotel.

Day #4- A habit that you wish you didn’t have.

Is lack of discipline a habit? Because I have boatlods of that.

I'm a very optimistic person. Rarely am I in a bad mood. But, deep down, I have a horrid habit of assuming the worst. Like, constantly thinking about the absolute most horrible thing that can go wrong in a situation.

Mind you, I consider ALL sides of a situation, but it's the worst one that always sticks out in my mind and that I focus on.

I also constantly bite my nails. For no reason. It's not when I'm nervous, sad, happy, yadda yadda. It's because they're there, it doesn't take much to lift my finger to my mouth and it's something for me to do.

Yuck.

Day #3 - A picture of you and your friends.

This was actually really hard because all of my very good friends aren't in one picture together. But I see that later on I can post another picture of me and friends. So, I present to you part of the valley crew: (I'm missing Jessica and Kev and Ted)
