Me
We are all wonderfully weird in our own ways. Everything we do and every moment that passes puts a mark on our souls. It helps to continually mold the beautiful people we are forming into. I've decided to share some of my oddities as my blog today. (can you tell I am having a bit of writer's block as of late?) My hope is that in sharing, you'll share something as well. What is it that makes you uniquely you?
I can't blow dry my hair without remembering how my grandfather used to do it for me when I was little.
The exhaust from large buses makes me smile because it reminds me of the ski trips I used to take in high school.
My favorite snack is wheat thins with cream cheese.
I was listening to the song "Blackbird" to tune out the sound of the dreadful needle as I was getting my tattoo in Ireland. Everytime I listen to that song it makes me feel free.
My strongest link to past memories is smell. My nose is like a time machine.
Sometimes I like to lay on my bed with my legs up against the wall letting all of the blood drain into my head. I force myself to listen to the silence of the room. It forces me, for at least 5 minutes, to quiet my thoughts.
I could eat cereal for every meal. Sometimes I do.
Peanut butter is a food group.
I believe in the fairytale. Deep down, I hope for the fairytale even though I claimed I let it go years ago.
Daisies are my favorite flower because they look like they are smiling.
I love swings. The minute I get on one I feel small and completely innocent again.
I was on anti-depressants for almost 8 years. I'm not sure if I am better or worse without them but I'm alive and I'm surviving and that was the goal.
I think dogs are here to teach us how to love unconditionally.
Have a great day everyone!

"You" are very insightful and appealing. Thanks for visiting and please return.
I miss my grandfather, too. I was just 16 when he died and sometimes, just a whiff of a certain aftershave and I catch a glimpse of him.

Thank you very much for your comment on my blog. I know what it is like to feel very down and I think it is ultimately the people who know what it is to suffer who end up having the greatest insight into life and to love and into all the things other people simply take for granted or find ordinary...well it isn't. It's extraordinary, and I think that is what your blog is saying about us all, every one - we're extraordinary. Sometimes it takes other people to show us this. Hugsx
What is it that makes me uniquely me? I'm outspoken. I say what is on my mind yet I often care about what people think. I'm helpful and would do almost anything for anyone.
I have to agree with you about the peanut butter... One of my favorite late night snacks is a big spoonful... :P
Hmmm.. something unique.. Sheesh. Where to begin.. I have a thing against even numbers. For some reason I prefer odd numbers (odd, huh?)
Oh, and you are right on with your dog comment..
Rose- being outspoken is something I could use more of! You sound like a good person to have in one's life.
Ryan- I'm with you on the peanut butter, seriously nothing better than that.
Odd numbers...you are right, that is odd. BUT I would guess most people like even numbers and going against the majority is always fun :)
