The Party Continues...

The warm fuzzies continue! Ayla, who is giving 007 a run for his money in the daredevil department, passed this award my way. You ladies are are so incredible, I'm embarrassingly touched by every comment and click... To the more seasoned bloggers, does receiving comments and awards grow old? I don't think they'd ever lose their ability to make me feel all glowy inside! 

So here are 7 facts pertaining to moi... I hope you're not getting sick of me!

1. I spent a majority of my childhood convinced that if I had princess hair (AKA was able to comb it with a fork), everything in my life would be perfect.

I also wanted to be either a princess or a tree when I grew up. This hasn't changed. 

2. I have a gift for remembering useless facts, yet forgetting important information. For example, I remember my therapist's favorite animal and random stories from her childhood, but forget what floor her office is on. Every week. 

3. In grade school my friend and I wrote a play called "Titanic 2." How exactly we came up with the sequel to a movie in which the subject sinks and basically everyone dies, I don't know. While discussing the project in a restaurant we were approached by the screenwriters of the real Titanic, who apparently had been in the booth behind us the entire time.

4. When I hear guys honk their horns and wolf whistle or see them eyeing me (Hard to believe, but it does happen. I guess they're really desperate!) I fantasize about gouging out their eyes a la King Lear and collecting them in a jar. Don't mess. 

5. I have an odd fascination/fear of hourglasses. The Wicked Witch's red one in The Wizard of Oz terrified me as a child a billion times more than those flying monkeys.

6. I love laying at the bottom of the pool and watching light ripple through the water. And I like prisms. I guess I have a thing for light?

7. I used to cut Hebrew school to do my homework. Basically for the least badass reason ever. The only Hebrew I remember is ima (mother), aba (father), dag (fish) and Sheket B'vakasha! (shut up!)

It's always so hard for me to come up with facts about myself. You'd think I'd know this stuff better, considering I've been with myself for the past twenty years. I've been thinking a lot about self acceptance. My relationship with me is the longest one I'm going to have. No matter where I go I'll be there, so I might as well like the person I'm stuck with! I hope someday to not only accept, but love Rachael. And that starts with figuring out who she is. 

My friends and I used to play the "Essence Game," telling each other if you were an animal, color, car, etc. what you would be. I found a list of some of the things they chose for me and thought it was pretty funny. In my quest to get in touch with Rachael, I'm going to post a couple for the next few days. Funny how I guilty like I should apologize for you guys "having" to read about me, when it's actually one of my favorite things to look at on your blogs. You are all so awesome and unique, I love getting to know you better!.. Plus I'm a fan of all things random. Speaking of random, today I saw Hank Azaria at the mall. His wife (?) was wearing Apple Bottom jeans. But anyways.

If I was _____ I'd be...

Animal- siamese cat

Color- sunburst orange

Plant- orchid in full bloom (They were specific!)

Underwear- Striped bikini briefs

Time of Day- coffee at dawn

Please feel free to answer for yourself! We can go on a journey of self discovery together.
