i've been reading on some of my friends' blogs about "being tagged" to tell 7 things no one knows about you. which i think loosely translates into "7 random things about you" because obviously things others don't know about you haven't been told for a reason, right? and i haven't been tagged by anyone, but i thought i'd do it anyway.
7 Random Things About Me:
1. i shaved my head in the summer of 1998. my hair came in all curly after that. perhaps others wishing for natural curls should try it??
2. i like to tell people that i like reading true stories and biographies and those kind of "deep soul" books, but really...there is nothing better than settling down with some good chick lit.
3. when i get married i want to adopt babies, but i'm scared that once i actually get to that stage in my life i will forget about my South Africa life and how those babies need a family. i'm afraid i won't care anymore.
4. i once asked a boy out on a date and he said yes. it was very awkward and then i had to borrow Gran and Boppa's car to drive to Brandon to see a movie. i can't believe i did that, and i can't believe i actually liked that boy. it was the first date i ever went on and there hasn't been one since.
5. i don't like pie.
6. i talk to myself. make up conversations with other people, what i would say to them, or go back in time in my head and tell people what i really thought of them. but i know from experience it's often best to keep silent. sometimes after i've had a really good "talk" with myself, i wonder why i haven't written a book yet, because obviously i'm very talented! but then i realize i coulnd't possibly write enough pages to fill all that empty space.
7. when i hear a really good song, i repeat it over and over again. probably it would annoy someone else if they were in the room. but good songs are worth hearing again and again. right now i'm listening to "Where I Stood" by Missy Higgins...an Australian singer/songwriter. i discovered her in South Africa, from an Aussie friend there. she sent me Missy's new album and it is lovely. check it out here
this whole list thing reminds of the book "Can You Keep a Secret" by Sophie Kinsella (yes, a chick lit book!) where a girl tells all of her secrets to a stranger she met on a plane. very fun!
okay. i tag everyone who reads this...which means you have to write your own list of 7 Random Things. it's actually a little bit hard...
