So, Jack over at 67 Degrees has given me my first blog tag. It’s one of those things where I share stuff about moi, and then I pass the spirit stick on to others to do the same.
The deets:
- List six things that I do for joy
- Pass the award on to 6 more creative bloggers
- Link back to the person who gave me the award
- Link to the people I am passing it on to
Here’s My Super Six:
1. Competing
Although I hate losing, I love competing…and watching others compete, too. And anything from flip-cup to basketball to tests is a competition for me. Although it’s sometimes a little unhealthy for me to look at everything as a competition (and want to beat everyone at everything), I have to say, I truly enjoy it.
2. Photography
There’s something about the realness of photos that can’t be achieved through words, paintings, or video. I think the two photo-j classes I took in college were my favorite ones in the school. Just as much as I like taking pictures, I also like looking at them. Photo exhibits are one of the only things I actually enjoy at museums.
3. Running
I hated running when I was in high school. Now, I love, love, love it. Although I’d tried my hand at it a few times, it never really stuck until I got home this year. I guess after trying running in a few countries and not feeling safe enough to do it, I felt like I had to take advantage of it here. I’m doing it 3-4 times a week and loving it. What I love best is running in a new place and seeing, hearing, and smelling everything there that I can’t from inside a car. It’s also one of the few things I can do by my lonesome and not feel anti-social.
4. Watching crime shows
When I was little, I was addicted to Murder, She Wrote. Now, I can’t get enough of the new crime shows. Favorites include CSI, CSI: New York, Law & Order, Law & Order: SVU, NCIS, Numb3rs, and Life. I think it’s the part of me that always wanted to be a lawyer…and loves that it really doesn’t matter if you miss an episode or start it in the middle of the series.
5. Exploring
I love discovering new things. Whether it be places I’ve never been, or something about a person I know well. Getting to know the unfamiliar is one of the most exciting things there is.
6. Pulling pranks
You know I think you’re a top-notch person (or an easy target), if I’ve pulled a fast one on you. And my closest friends, I find, are just as prank-happy, and uneasily offended. But if I’ve never asked you to “smell this” or de-pantsed you, beware. You’ve had a fair warning now. And I really hope that ice cream comes off your shirt.
I’ll pass this onto:
-Nicole, who is an ex-RLife publisher and current super-entrepreneur
-Kyle, who was also once a Lost Girl
-Vincent, whose responses I’ll probably only half-understand
-Remi, who I fear may be stuck in a Mexico prison somewhere and hope this tells me otherwise
-Melanie, who writes far too little about herself now that she has a little one
-unhipla, who’s actually pretty hip
Which half of which responses didn’t you understand ?
Well, I just figured if you’d be blogging your responses, they’d be in French. And my francais, as we both know, ain’t so great. I’m sure I’d have to pull out the good ol’ French-English dictionary!
Well … actually, I pretty much quitted blogging. It was really hard at the beginning but now I feel much better … and free ! Such a great feeling !
But, I don’t know, maybe I could blog one more time. Just one last time. It wouldn’t be so bad, and that wouldn’t make me a blogger again…. would it ?
So it was a conscious decision, eh? Why not just one more time…so that there’s some closure to it…and telling us faithful readers that it’s really all over…
