bird's eye.

i wish we had the ability to step outside of ourselves at the end of every day, and go through a speedy version of what we were like that day for review. perhaps while watching that review, we could get a clear view of our intentions and motives behind every action and decision and see ourselves for what we really are. good and bad. i wonder how much that would change.

tag, you're it.

Alright. SO, Heidi tagged me to do this 7 things you don't know about me thing. I'll do my best to make this interesting.

1. I told this story for the first time in years this weekend, so I'll say it here - one time I witnessed a bit of a brawl in a record store. The owner had to ask a man to leave, as he had been violent on his last trip into this downtown shop, and the man's response was to take a swing at him. The very large man was hella agile and dodged it, and then forced the man out of the shop. It was epic. Then we continued talking about Bette Midler & record players.

2. I got straight 60's in pre-cal math in grade 10, except in the Trigonometry section. I got 95% on the unit test. Apparently I understand triangles.

3. I live with four roommates, and share my room with one of them. It's the best ever. People warned us that we'd stop being friends because of it, but both of us have determined that when we both get married this summer, we'll be going through each other withdrawal.

4. When I told Andrew I loved him I was really scared and crying a little and shaking, and couldn't just spit it out for the life of me, and I think I almost made him believe I was breaking up with him, because these are all the symptoms of girl trying to break up with someone. Ugh. I'm awful.

5. Facebook's latest "make your profile picture as someone you've been told you look like" thing recently reminded me that I have not been told I look like any celebrities, but I have been compared to a chipmunk. So I almost made a chipmunk my picture, but then didn't.

6. The places I'd like to travel to:

  • Turkey, Israel, Egypt
  • Europe
  • New Zealand & Australia
  • Japan
  • Central America (all over!)
  • Iceland
  • South Africa
7. I really love budgeting. I never knew this would be possible.

I think I won't tag anyone, because I'm pretty sure not many people really read my blog. But there you have it. Seven things. About me.
