Sunday Stealing: The Hardest Meme Ever

1. What is the bravest thing that you feel you’ve ever done physically?

Well, I wouldn’t say it was brave but I feel I really accomplished something when I walked through Uncle Fogie’s (forest next to a camp) because there are swarms of mosquitoes!  You have to protect yourself and the campers and it’s really hard to concentrate without wanting to run away.

2. What is the bravest thing that you feel you’ve ever done emotionally?

Craig (and sharing with Craig in general)

3. What one talent do you wish you had that you don’t?

I can’t do a cartwheel and I’ve really wanted to!  I’ve ALWAYS wanted to do a cartwheel!

4. If you had that talent what would you be doing with it?

I would join the circus!  yes…. and I want to learn to juggle too. Also, as well.

5. We all have our reasons for blogging but what would be your ultimate goal for your blog or as a blogger?

I want attention.  and…. at first… I used to blog so Craig would pay attention to me, and to check if he did… Now, I just want to see if anyone cares about me in general…  I don’t know.

6. What advice would you give a new blogger?

Try to blog as often as possible… and… It doesn’t matter what you blog about as people will find it interesting if you share it.  Also, ignore people who judge because they’re just idiots!

7. Who are you three favorite blogs to visit (Yes, you can have ties and name more than three.)

My Life on the Net, and that’s it.. Is it a bad thing that I only visit my boyfriend’s blog?

8. You can trade lives with any one person for a month. Who would it be and why?

Someone who lives in a nice area that I’ve never been to before and someone probably my own age who is better off in life so I can travel for the month if I want to.  And female.  Maybe a celebrity…

9. There’s a fire and your family is safe but you have the chance to save any one item from your house. What would it be and why?

It depends if a cat is considered an object or part of the family.  And currently, I don’t really have a home (due to living in a dorm), but I’d save my pictures.

10. You have the chance to go back in time and warn yourself before making a bad choice. What choice would it be and what would you tell yourself?

I would probably warn myself that there are aquaintances and friends, and that there are decisions in life that do affect you down the line and I know I’ve hurt a lot of people due to the decisions I’ve made…. like… physically I guess.

Cheers to all us thieves!
