7 Random Things About Me

1. Nothing in life soothes me more than watching someone be creative. Coloring, drawing, cooking, painting, doodling -- I can sit quietly and watch for hours.
2. My first memory in life is the day my brother was born. I remember standing outside the hospital, holding my Dad's hand, waving up to my Mom in her second floor window. I was two and a half.
3. I've never kissed anyone who was as biologically old as I am now. The oldest person I've ever kissed was 40 at the time and I was 19.
4. I love thick vanilla milkshakes made with real ice cream. YUM!
5. Back in the 80's I began having experiences with the Ouija board and other psychic phenomena that blew my mind forever open that anything is possible.
6. I can become easily overwhelmed in social situations. Sometimes I relax and settle into them, sometimes I don't. I always have my own transportation so I can leave when I need to, and I no longer push myself by waiting until I'm over the edge.
7. When I worked for a home builder in Colorado Springs, one of my jobs was to name streets. I named a street Blazek Loop which still exists to this day!

I'm going to bend the rules a bit and tag whoever wants to play! Let me know if you do, so I can read your seven things too!

I tagged ya too but forgot to leave you a comment to let you know...so I'm glad you got tagged again-:)
Love your list - I'm the same way in social situations, now remembering to bring my own car at all times.

Oh yeah - I am a big fan of having my own get-away car!
I wanted a cocker spaniel puppy, but my brother joined the family instead.
I like #1 on your list. One thing I absolutely love doing is watching others when they are "in the zone" at museums. It's so cool to see students sketching the work of the masters - great way to get a more intimate connection and true appreciation for a work of Art.
Hope your candle-making is going well! Peace.

What fun to read your list! Mine was posted yesterday at Small Reflections.
I haven't thought about Ouija Boards for decades, but remember some interesting messages that seemed weird way back when, but not any more. I wonder if I'll find one when I'm clearing clutter from closets?

I relate to having my own car for quick escapes ... learned that lesson fairly early actually.
Hugs,

those were some fascinating facts. I wondered if your first memory is so fresh because the memory for others were repeated so often (that mom/dad probably talked about the birth so often that you relieved it so often and kept it in mind). how cool to name a street! and ouija is some bad bad mojo!

Carla - I's like to "play" if you want to include me.

[liz elayne]

blazek loop - that is fantastic!!
and reading about your milkshake desires made me want a chocolate milkshake right now! :) i will have one tomorrow...

i love reading lists like this - always fun to get to know things about a person you never would have known about them.

I can so relate about enjoying watching those create. If I let myself, I can watch HGTV and foodnetwork for hours. Kinda funny since I'm not a huge TV person. :)
Blessings and hugs,
Jon

Like a lot of others who left comments, I totally get having your own vehicle at all times for quick get away...the bathroom is another one of my emergency "center, ground" places if I absoltely can not leave a social setting that is overwhelming...At my old job, I use to visit the bathroom constantly!! I would just go in there, shut the door and run the water over my hands...and be alone! Happy Thanksgiving Carla, Beverly

[dandelionseeds]

[Julia in Colorado]

I know Blazek Loop well, my friend. :) It been a long time, but I've kept up on your whereabouts over the years. And I remember a few things about you, too. Like your SUPER crush on Rowdy Gaines!
