Here are my 11 questions to answer.
- Why do you blog? What do you hope to achieve through your blog (if anything)? I have always been into some kind of writing. I did crappy poetry in high school. While going through a separation with my husband, i needed an outlet to deal with all the feelings I felt. It was anonymous and I have since deleted it, I took some time off then when I got to my last straw in my mental illness choas I decided to embrace the good and the bad,… to de-stigmatize, if possible, the joys and pain of it all and to show that you can live a fairly messed up but successful life. Or maybe not we shall see 😀 I also like it to be able to keep a record of my highs and lows.
- If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? Australia. I was there for six weeks and almost moved there but for various reasons never did. I have never felt more at peace than when I was in Tasmania.
- If you could choose any profession, what would it be? I thought I had finally discovered my calling with social work. I feel I am great at it BUT it is getting to be too stressful. I now want to be a freelance makeup artist. My psych eval said that i tend to not stick with things and have grand thoughts career wise without real follow through. And I find that to be true for the most part BUT I am actually starting to get work in it. So … maybe a psych eval is not the end off of how you really are in life 😀
- What is one quality you insist all of your true friends must have? Wow great question. I was going to say loyalty BUT I think understanding.
- What is on your iPod on constant repeat right now? Slow me down by Sara Evans.
- What is your favorite website to peruse? My beauty blogs I follow on Feedly.com
- What is your favorite sound? A cat purring.
- What is your favorite word? Fuck
- Who is your role model and why? THe Rock AKA Dwayne Johnson. He is hot as hell, has charisma and just seems to be a genuine caring guy.
- If you could go back in time, when, where, and why? This one is always hard for me. Today I am feeling like I would go back to the sixteenth century and be an aristocrat and jolly and frivolous. the why is because I am wanting to believe it was just like those cheesy romance novels I love to read, lol
- What is an interesting talent you have? (I found this question hard, but maybe you can figure it out.) I can kareoke Beasty Boys Whatcha Want like no one’s business!
