Randomness inspired by Jenn

So this really cool person I know named Jenn posted 10 random facts/thoughts about herself a few days ago and I decided to do the same. You can read it or not.

1. I love building/making/creating things. Currently, I am building a little shelf organizer thing that my mom got me at IKEA(!!!) and when it is done I plan to paint it a beautiful shade of yellow(they're all beautiful). And Wednesday I'm going to start designing my next purse project. I also need to finish embroidering on my Bible cover. It has a lot of empty spaces that need a personal touch to them.

2. I was born in Defiance. No really. Its a town in Ohio. Check my birth certificate.

3. Me encanta hablar en español. Ojalá que haya tenido alguien a hablar conmigo en mi lengua favorita.

4. (side note: wow, this is hard to come up with these facts/thoughts all at once) My favorite movie is (of all time) 2001: Space Odyssey, with the close second being Cars.

5. My favorite color is yellow. It is such a happy color. But definitely needed in moderation. It can be overwhelming if improperly used.

6. Knowing that God has something for me to do in the future makes doing my retail job a whole lot easier sometimes, but knowing that God has put me in my current position for a reason also helps me to get up in the morning and return to my not-so ideal job.

7. I'm fickle about the whole falling in love thing. Somedays it sounds great and then other days it sounds awful. I guess half of me is an adult and the other half an elementry age girl who thinks that boys have cooties. I also think that love looks different that what it is portrayed in Hollywood.

8. I'm a big journaler... journal writer? Well needless to say, that's the reason I don't blog much. My thoughts are too... private... maybe offensive... blunt? I don't know, but I just would rather keep them to myself, but for the most part my journal entries are pretty dull. Also, I think that if you really want to know what's happening inside my head, you should just ask. I'll probably tell you.

9. I'm a poser. I try to make it seem like I have half a clue when it comes to musical things, but I really don't. It takes me hours to transpose. I have trouble finding other notes(well other than the root) that work in a chord(which seems to be a pretty important skill for bass players). I don't have an internal rhythm, which is why its really hard for me to keep a beat. There's just a lot of things I don't understand and the only reason I get a few things is because my really cool colllege roommate Becca has given me cheat sheets. I am trying to get better. I'm a pretty linear person. Music is like an emotion to me so my linear brain has trouble grasping what is happening. I do believe that some songs are just made for a person. Like they tug at your heart strings. Like you can just feel the song around you. (and now you know why I journal... its thoughts like these)

10. Ok the last one. I will always love the Newsboys. I know they're taking a turn for the even worse and yes, I do wish they would retire so that we could just remember their Not Ashamed through Thrive years. But they're not going to so I'm going to continue to buy their over priced cds of stuff I already have. Thanks to GO coming out for the 3rd full time(its live this time), but seriously I'm a loyal person. They could pull a Ray B and I'd still love them. (That would explain the eyeliner that they wear almost all of the time). Ok yes that was wrong, but admit it... you laughed.

That was fun. I'd do more, but I should end it here. You should do it too. :-)
