6 Things
I'm it.
I was tagged by Mel, so here I am, telling you six things you may not know about me. Hee.
1. I think thunderstorms are just about the coolest things on the planet. I'm not going to complain about sunny days, but stormy, dark, turbulent days are my favorites. I'm about the furthest thing from having SAD as they come.
2. I tell people my favorite color is green, but that's only because I don't feel like explaining that my favorite color is actually gray. Dark, mercurial, gray. Sheesh, could I be any more depressing? Actually, yes... on to #3...
3. I joke, and I give my students heck to make them defend their opinions, but I actually love the emo music they like. I adore My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Panic! At the Disco, Bright Eyes, 30 Seconds to Mars, and The Used.
4. I critique every piece of writing I see, even the backs of cereal boxes. I have absolutely no right to, judging by my own work, but it's a habit. Eventually I will stop doing that and just enjoy it, much like I've stopped analyzing a singer's technique.
5. I like caramel about ten times more than chocolate.
6. If I don't have at least an hour of time completely alone once a day, I feel really panicky and overwhelmed. I rely deeply on time to let my mind wander, to regroup, and let myself obsess on the minutiae of my life. I feel that it's self-important and all that, but I can't stop myself. Bah.
So,
spiffykates,
smallwriting, and
shatteredmusic...it's your turn. Tag, you're it.
