So,
my wonderful new fellow blogger friend, Bridget, tagged me
with the Beautiful Blogger and Reader Appreciation Awwards. Thank you, Bridget! I wasn't under any obligation to continue by writing this particular blog post, but it looked like fun.
Anyway, to continue, according to the rules of the Awards, I now have to write a list of seven random things about me. (As a side note, this took some time to finish as too many random things kept on popping into my head).
Seven
Random Things
1.
I
don’t like Jell-O. I never did, even as a kid. I think it has something to do
with the consistency. Or maybe not because even if it’s made with fruit, I
don’t like it.
2.
I
live on coffee, but I don’t like any fancy coffees. I drink it from the moment
I get up in the morning until I fall asleep at night. This is not something
new. I have consumed coffee to this extent since my parents allowed me to start
drinking it at around age fourteen.
3.
One
of my favorite hobbies is building LEGOs. I have a closet full of them and I
like to build them in sets to tell a story. I haven’t had the money to buy any
new collections lately, but I have many sets that go back to the early ‘60s.
4.
My
favorite television series of all time is “Buffy
the Vampire Slayer.” It changed my
life, brought me back, and woke me up to the realization that I was living my
life to please others and in so doing, I had created a façade to hide my true
self and my real goals. I re-watch the entire
series every couple of years and each time I do, it reinforces that connection
to my inner self and my certainty that I am on the right path.
5.
I
am a hermit by nature. It’s not that I am exactly unsociable but I do thrive on
solitude. In fact, I would prefer to live in a cabin set deep in the mountains,
surrounded by nature with the nearest neighbor at least an hour away. However,
I do have certain requirements related to communication. Foremost of these is
that I have a computer with internet access as most of my communication with
others takes place online. I rarely
phone anyone, and when I do, I only phone the two people in the world who I
consider my best friends. If someone calls me, I answer the phone unless I am
writing or in the middle of an art project, but if I am busy at the time of the
call I will always return the phone call later. If someone wants to visit me, it is best that
the person contact me before arriving on my doorstep, as I am apt not to answer
the door. However, if someone should call and would like to visit they are
always welcome.
6.
I
have dyed my hair since I was a teenager. In my younger years, I experimented
with an assortment of colors. Presently, I use a color close to what I believe
is my natural color. I say, “I believe” because I haven’t let my natural color
out in so many years that I have no idea what color it actually is.
7.
I
don’t watch sports events on television. I prefer to watch as a live audience
spectator. If I watch something on a screen from my living room, I feel like I
am missing something. It is the same for listening to live music concerts on
CD. The only sport I would consider watching on television is Quidditch, but
alas, I didn’t receive my Hogwart’s letter and muggles are not allowed…
Well that's it for me. I am now supposed to tag seven more bloggers with the Beautiful Blogger and Reader appreciation Awards. If I tag your blog, please don't feel that you are any obligation to post. However, the following blogs are some of those that I read on a regular basis ( there are more, but I am limited to seven) and find interesting. I would appreciate that any readers of this blog check out the blogs listed below.
Thank you for visiting. ~ Yvonne ~

Hey, we have some things in common! I don't like Jello, I dye my hair, I'm a hermit, I live on coffee (though only the first half of the day for me, usually), I used Lego's to tell stories as a kid, and I liked Buffy.
I love these type of posts where the inner person is revealed. Yours was fun to read. I actually love Jello, but was the only one in a family of six, so ...
