I am unable to sleep tonight so I figured I would just share
a little more about myself, because it crossed my mind that many people that
may be reading my blogs probably don’t know a thing about me except for what I
have been writing here so here you go this is a bit more of insight to who I
am.
Queen they are amazing. Somebody to Love, Bicycle Race, Now I’m Here, Play the
Game, Save Me, Don’t Stop Me Now, Seven Seas of Rhye, and I Want to Break Free
are all my favorite songs. Following this I love Ben Folds, his piano skills
and lyrics are so legit, Annie Waits will always be my top song of his.
around town, but I only ever ride 2 of them. And seriously every time I’m
listening to Queen and the song Bicycle Race comes on I have to go for quick
ride (that is if I am able to) it’s slightly ridiculous.
with the show Glee. I love the music and the twisted plots. Then there’s always
my beloved Seinfeld, which I have been watching with my family probably since
it first aired back in 1989 and to do this day I watch the reruns whenever I
happen to be around a TV and have the time to sit down.
movie, music, and play since I first heard the Seasons of Love song way back in
the day. I own the movie, the movie soundtrack, the Broadway soundtrack, and
I’ve seen it twice on Broadway up in NYC (it was spectacular). Besides RENT I
just love musical in general I only own a few movies and soundtracks, but often
you can catch me singing along with Liza Minnelli in the Cabaret soundtrack.
art and crafts. Big fan of photography it’s one of those things that I’m
constantly going back to. I’ve tried painting with watercolors, oils, and
acrylics (never really excelled in any of these). I’ve also tried drawing
(failed this one big time), calligraphy (I’m not that bad, but it’s also not
that hard). Now I’m on a sewing kick I spend countless hours wondering around
thrift stores trying to find clothing I love and can alter to fit me or rip up
and make into something new and thrift stores also have the most amazing
fabrics so far I have made a blanket and a gigantic pillow, with fabrics such
as these.
I really desire to live a very simplistic lifestyle. I feel
like I have so much STUFF and I HATE IT I want to get rid of it, but man it is
such a chore to go through everything, ugh I hate it, and some things are just
so hard to let go. A couple of years ago when I went to India I acquired so
much worthless stuff, but I guess since I got it from India it has some serious
sentimental value to me. When I went to India I didn’t bring any clothes with
me, except for what I was wearing so I bought A LOT of clothes over there and
brought almost every little thing back with me,, so now I find myself with all
of these outfits that I never wear anymore. So in an effort to combine my creative
side and my desire to downsize I’ve begun cutting up all of my clothes and
making quilt squares with the hopes that I can make a quilt big enough to cover
my bed, because I am in need of a comforter of some sorts. But who knows if it
will turn out I have absolutely no experience in quilting and the only sewing
skills I have are the one I made up J when I made that
blanket and pillow from my thrift story fabric. So here we go I don’t have to
give up my clothes from India, I don’t have to spend money on a new comforter,
and in a way I’m downsizing my lifestyle, woo-hoo.
and I really really want to sell ALL of my stuff except for the things that I
really need. So I hope that this is something that I can accomplish, that I am
able to part with my things, and come back to an empty apartment at the end of
the day, because then I know that I will be truly happy, having nothing, and
fully trusting in God to take care of all of my physical needs. Because all of
this stuff in my life really hinders my relationship with God, it pulls me away
from him. Because when life gets just a little bit crazy or I’m having a bad
day I always turn to whatever stuff I have lying around to make me feel better,
but when I don’t have things I don’t have any choice but to turn to God.
