Day 7: Random piece of information #2

My dad backed over my foot with our truck once. I was getting my backpack out of the back of the truck at school and he started backing up, smashing my foot in the process. Luckily, he really only pinched the tops of my toes and nothing was broken.

I got a note to sit out P.E. though, and the T.A. didn't believe me. I remember sitting in the bleachers, watching the class run, and she started talking in a haughty voice about how stupid some of the excuses were.

"One girl actually wrote that her dad ran over her foot. Really!?" I was appalled.
"Yes, really! He backed over my foot," I said. She didn't like that, choosing to stare me down. But I'm happy to say that she looked away first. Power trips are never pretty.

Day 6: One thing you hate about yourself.

You all probably think I'm going to say that I hate that I'm fat. While it's true that my fat is not my friend, I really hate the fact that I'm a little hairy. I have major eyebrow issues courtesy of my dad. They grow in weird angles, too. Katie was born with perfect arches and blond hair. While I love my dark hair, I sometimes think it must be nice to have eyebrows that look tame all the time because the unruly hairs are so light.

Being unnaturally pale with dark hair doesn't always mix. It makes everything more prominent. Sigh..

Day 5: One thing you love about yourself

I love my sense of humor. It makes me happy.

Day 4: Your idea of the "perfect" first date

My idea of the perfect first date, I think, is an arcade. That way there is always background noise to avoid awkward conversation lulls. You can get a little competitive with your date by playing a game together, then you can chat over pizza or something at the food court. Easy peezy.

Day 3: A photo of yourself taken today + a description of your day.

Snapshot taken on my bed this evening.

So after a late night, I set my alarm to 11:45 to get ready for church. I woke up at 11:45, changed the alarm to noon, and went back to sleep. Cue my mother busting in the room, asking if I was going to church. I was like chillax, it's not even 12 yet. My mistake because it was actually like 12:45. I had slept through my alarm, or turned it off in my sleep. Which is pretty impressive because you have to slide your finger across the screen to turn the alarm off. Skills, people. It takes skills.

After missing church I hung around the house. Reading, chilling on my bed, etc. Then we all went to my aunt's house for dinner and had tasty burgers and good fruit. Following that, I held my cousin Heather's new bunny Miso,( he's adorable!!), brought my dad home and have been browsing the interwebs ever since with a slight break for a bowl of cookies and cream ice cream.

That's my day y'all! Hope you enjoyed the play by play.

Day 2: A random piece of information about you

I'm in love with British quiz shows. Nevermind the Buzzcocks is my favorite. I can and have watched episodes on youtube for hours.

Challenge Accepted

So I saw this 30 day blog post challenge a few days ago that I thought it was pretty cool, because it's different than most challenges I've seen. So I'm going to give it a whirl!!!

Day 1: What you want to be when you grow older.

As most of you know, I have grand dreams of becoming a published author. I want to make people laugh, and cry, and be swept away with my characters.

Right now I'm working on a David Sedaris-esque book with my sister. It's shaping up nicely. It makes us giggle.

My first published work can be read here.
