3 Joys:

Good food and drink, like Famous Daves or even recipes I make...and drinks like black cherry koolaid and Jamba Juice!

My inspiration, including the people, books, movies, poetry, music, and anything else that inspires me to be a better person or to do something, like write a song or try something new. I love being inspired. It is a true joy!

Delivering a baby, I feel so sorry for someone who has had all C-sections or better yet who have not had kids yet or are unable to, because delivering a baby is such a surreal joy. I actually like going through the labor because you are accomplishing so much and only you can do it, but I'm talking about the actual delivery. To bring (well actually push) your child into this world from you, is one of the best feelings in this life. It's almost undescribable but it is pure joy.

3 Fears:

Death, I never want to die and I hate hearing that someone else has. I only go to the funerals I feel obligated to go to and avoid viewings completely. I am scared to death of it all...no pun intended.

This might go along with death but I am scared of ghosts...or for a better word, spirits.

I am scared for my kids safety but I feel I can avoid most things by the choices I make. For example, my children WILL take swimming lessons until I feel they are good enough swimmers to swim in the ocean! They WILL wear seat belts at all times, and I will probably never allow sleep overs unless it's with their cousins or a big parent advised slumber party...

3 Goals:

I want to record an album in the studio of the music I've written with other people, like someone who can sing real well, like my mom. I want to work with someone, preferrably my sister Kira and my mom to arrange and compose the material I already have to get it studio ready in the first place.

I want to publish a book of the poetry I've written through whatever little company and have a bunch to give away or whatever...

I want to live in Carlsbad someday. It's my favorite place that I've ever been to. I have family there, but I feel different when I go there, like I'm in another world. There's a feeling in the air there. I can't descibe it but I feel the happiest when I'm there, like nothing could ever get me down and I can accomplish whatever I want to. It's like a piece of heaven for me. It's a feeling I get everytime I'm there and it is such a wonderful feeling, so much so that it is a goal of mine to live there someday.

3 Current Obsessions/Collections:

So You Think You Can Dance, I LOVE this show. I LOVE the judges and the choreographers are so awesome and it's just so entertaining for me and I need something little like this to look forward to every week. I love the summer for this reason cause my show is on!

Footage, I've blogged about this before so I won't say too much but I collect footage. I have hundreds of hours worth of footage probably on VHS tapes and a few DVDs. Footage of performances, interviews, misc. stuff, home videos, home videos of other family members and other people, concerts, speeches, you name it...I think the interviews are my favorite. We've done some with my family and they turned out great, just as an interview should, some funny moments and some serious moments. I'm ready to do it again. It's great for family history. Footage is my favorite form of family history, either interviews or just home videos. My second favorite form of family history is blogging which leads me to...

Blogging, I am happy that blogging is an obsession for me cause it's a healthy one. It's a journal, a family journal, a photo album/scrapbook, family history, and a way of communication all rolled into one. It's pure genius and I can't wait to make mine into a book later this year!

3 Random/Surprising Facts:

I can't stand people when they are afraid of silence, like during a conversation but especially someone who will get up in a testimony meeting just to break the silence. They are afraid of it being too quiet? I think these people have an anxiety disorder or something...it bugs me. I have no problem with silence and I never feel like I have to DO something or change it...like some people...

I like the english culture (what I know of it). I like the accent most times, and the different words they use than us like pardon, bloody, ginger (hair - for red), there's tons I'm forgetting right now, but I love the words and phrases they use and I love to hear their accent as long as it's not an annoying person, and I like to see the way they wear their clothes and of course I love most the music that came from England. I would probably like to go there someday and I would hope that it looked like I walked into the movie Mary Poppins!

I like to change my appearance whenever I can, whether that means to change my hair style or my hair color, or to wear a lot of different styles of clothes (although I haven't been able to place any priority on this since college basically). I recently pierced my ears again. I sometimes like to dress a little eccentric like or rather unorthodox (thank you Connie for teaching me that word),....just for kicks. I guess I have a tiny fashion bug in me because I sometimes look at it in a photographic way. It's hard to explain I guess. I get inspired even in the clothing department by people. I like to accessorize (sp?) when I can, like to wear a hat or something.

Ok, I tag Camie, Karena, Kira, Christy, Sheri, Austrie, Jen, & Erin...and Mother, you've been tagged by Tibi, so get to it! ha ha
