Go to their pages and tell them you tagged them
No tag backs
1. I can't sleep in past 8. The once and only time I ever slept in was until 11. That day will go down in infamy.
2. I procrastinate waaaaay too much, which is why you never see any art up here. I'm trying to change my ways, I swear!
3. Being a procrastinator, this makes me late for EVERYTHING. Even dinner. I took a class where if we were more than 5 minutes late, we owed the class treats for the next time. We ate well in that class.
4. Man, this is hard. I can't figure out stuff to put down that people would find interesting. So another thing about me: I judge myself too quickly. You know how people advise, "Create first, evaluate later"? I do the opposite. This may be another reason why I don't have very much art on here.
5. My family is obsessed with comics. We have a vast collection in our basement. Growing up, I learned how to read through Calvin & Hobbes, Foxtrot, For Better or For Worse, Bloom County, Cathy, Tintin, and Asterix. SO GOOD.
6. I come from a large - and I mean LARGE - family. As in I'm the youngest of 11 kids. 7 brothers, 3 sisters. 37 nieces and nephews. You'd better believe it.
7. My favorite color is green, which it became about 7 years ago when the boy I liked said his favorite color was green. Desperate to have something in common with him, that immediately became my favorite color. I don't have a crush on him anymore, but the passion for green hasn't stopped yet.
8. The color infatuation is especially nice since I've recently moved to the East Coast to be a nanny for my brother. Everything is GREEN and trees are EVERYWHERE. I've never lived somewhere where a forest is my back yard.
9. I love this song:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=at_f98… I grew up singing it, but apparently no one else has. How sad.
10. My whole family is obsessed with music. One thing I love (well, there's a lot of things) about being in a huge family is the variety of personality and all the different tastes. I've listened to almost everything from opera to country to baroque to rock to alternative to pop to classical to indie to hearing my brothers pound on the piano or play their guitars. When we get together, we all sing loudly and badly. Music brings people together. It's an amazing thing.
Oh, and I don't believe in tagging people. If you want to do it, go for it, and link me to it when you're done!
P.S. Not that I mind listening to "World Spins Madly On" all the time, but it's not true right now. For some reason I can't edit the whole "listening to" mood stuff. Is this happening to anyone else?
