Some of you may be aware of the rave on blogs right now is to "tag" people that visit your blog site. You have to tell 6 things about yourself that most people don't know and then tag 6 other people. I recently just wrote this up for my SSU girls (having been tagged) and thought it might be interesting to pass on to my siblings who might not have known these things about me either. If you would like to be "tagged" or not is your own perogative, I just thought it would make my already written work a bit more useful to people (including family) that are still getting to know me. Here goes -
1- I'm pregnant! I know there are a few of you out there that still didn't know that, and yes, it is planned. Most people don't believe me when I say I want 9 kids. It's true, I really do, and that is not just Mormon brainwash, I have always wanted a large family. I have figured if I want to get them all born before I am 40 I have got to get a move on, besides I want them all to be close in age. So, if I am pregnant for the next 10 years, you can really understand why now.
2- I have failed at every eating disorder I have tried. I seriously gave each one a try too. I was convinced in Jr High that I was fat. I started with anorexia, but my Mom caught me being ultra vigilient with my eating habits and I never really got more than 3 days before she made me eat a meal. I then tried bulemia, which didn't work. I tried the spoon and everything. I was seriously disappointed that I couldn't make myself puke considering I seemed to have the flu every month when I was a kid (and I like throwing up, there's an extra). I tried laxatives, but all we had in our house were really old ones that had lost all their potency. I did diet pills, with no success. By college I figured I could be a slightly eccentric normal person and just run loads and maybe get skinny. That really was the best plan, but still not with great success. I got over the whole thing when I went on my mission, finally realizing that my body really controls itself. And seriously, the best ancetdote is breastfeeding.
3- I have no idea what my natural hair color is. People keep asking me, I don't know. I think the last time I saw it was in 6th grade. I kinda got a good idea while not dying my hair in Brazil, but then it was so sun bleached, I couldn't give you a rightful answer.
4- I am a chronic justifier. I keep telling myself (which is yet another justification) that I am not justifying, I just want people to understand my explination of why, but to be honest, the why doesn't come until after someone has pointed out that what I just did was a bit off. I do it to save face. I also do it because I like to always be in control and feel smart. And deep down, I really just want to win.
5-I don't have a TV and prefer it that way. That is not to say that I think those people that do have one are evil, frankly I don't care. I just don't want a TV and don't know what I would do with one if I had one. Occasionally when I am at my sister's house, I try to cure myself of this crazy lifestyle and force myself to sit down and watch TV - after about 15 minutes my head hurts, so I stop. I would rather stare at a blank wall in silence. Josh and I are currently even paying for cable hook-up in our apartment (it is part of the lease) that we don't use.
6- I believe I have only 'fallen in love" once in my life, and it was not my husband! Don't get me wrong, I love JOSH! boy do I ever love that man, but I didn't have the head over heels experience with him, I think we just kinda grew in love, or decided that it would be good to love each other because we kinda knew we should marry each other. Bizarre. I figured this out just recently while reading "The Five Love Languages," which is an interesting take on love and the falling in love experience. So if you are trying to guess who that one "falling" experience is.....you should know me better than that! ;)
