********************************************************************************

Here are my 11 questions to answer.

1. 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. 
2. 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. 
3. 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 😀
4. 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. 
5. What is on your iPod on constant repeat right now? Slow me down by Sara Evans.
6. What is your favorite website to peruse? My beauty blogs I follow on Feedly.com
7. What is your favorite sound? A cat purring.
8. What is your favorite word? Fuck
9. 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. 
10. 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
11. 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!
