A PEEK AT CRAZY
5. Leave them a comment to let them know you’ve tagged them

My six quirks:
1. I love to clean. I’m not quite sure where this love developed from, since I used to be afraid of throwing things out. However, now I clean daily. I always find something that needs to be cleaned and/or organized. The fact that my boyfriend is incredibly messy probably helps to fuel my love for cleaning.

2. My favorite food in the entire world is peanut butter. I put that stuff on almost everything because I’m convinced it has the ability to make anything taste better. Peanut butter has a permanent place on my grocery list because I go through a large container about every two weeks.

3. I have never played a sport. Okay, I played soccer for one year when I was in third grade… but the only goal I scored was for the other team. So I try my best to forget about that unfortunate goal. I’m so uncoordinated that no one would want me on their team.

4. I am a VERY sarcastic person. I’ve been told on multiple occasions that it’s hard to tell when I’m being serious. This doesn’t bother me much because I don’t view myself as a very serious person.

5. This one kind of ties into the last one. In the past year I’ve been trying not to let much bother me anymore. Growing up, I was uptight and stressed about everything in life. I used to have small panic attacks daily… no fun whatsoever! So, when I moved away for college I was a complete wreck. I missed my life back in the cities and was sad a lot. However, I decided one day that there was no point to being sad and life would be much better if I just relaxed and enjoyed things. Now, I’m more optimistic and happy with life. Bad stress is a thing of the past.

6. My last quirk is probably my craziest… hence putting it last. I love giving voices to animals and babies. Does that make sense? They can’t talk, so I figure, what the heck. I have a distinct voice for my dog Macaroni (yes, that is his actual name), my Chihuahua Ziggy, and my 4 month old nephew Riley. This sounds so nutty writing it down. My family and close friends know I enjoy doing this, so they let me. However, I don’t have an “off” button, so I give voices to random animals and babies… then I get the satisfaction of watching the owner of said animal or baby give me the strangest look. Does anyone else do this?

Why I Write

Why do you write? At a glance this appears to be a simple question. However, if you really think about the true reason you write... it becomes much more difficult. For me, there are many different reasons behind why I write. I have loved to read and write since I was a little girl. I have also known for quite some time that I was eventually going to become a writer (of some sort). I write because I want to document my life. I also write to let out my emotions, to put my every thought down, and to clear up all thoughts floating around in my head. I hope to die with a pencil and paper in my hand and to give this world a story to read.
