#five things challenge

[losingitinjersey]

I’m going to assume that it’s due to my impending shark week that my weight has decided not to flirt with the low 200s today.  Oh well, at least I’m a bit lower from yesterday! 

The ever talented @keepgoinggreen tagged me in the “5 Things” challenge and who am I to deny him!?  (But seriously, go check out his work, I once bought an octopus painting from him for my gf and I’m obsessed with it!) 

FIVE THINGS THAT ARE ALWAYS IN MY PURSE

Blue & White Polka-dot wallet - purchased on my Thailand honeymoon!

Keys! Including my new Rav4 key (!!), two house keys, one office key, and a key to my parents’ house.  Along with a giant letter for my (new) last name that I bought after Kevin proposed.  

All the pens!  I like having pens from businesses back home in California as well as in Virginia.  Reminds me of how far I’ve come and what my new normal is. 

Feminine products!  Because one can never be too prepared. 

Driving glasses (and movie watching glasses!)

FIVE MOVIES THAT NEVER GET OLD

The top three just so happen to be my favorite movies - funny how that happens :)

Goonies

Empire Records

Back to the Beach

10 Things I Hate About You

Now & Then

FIVE DESSERTS YOU LOVE

NOPE, not going to spend any time thinking about desserts I’m not eating at the moment, and INSTEAD will be answering my top 5 keto recipes.  

Jalapeno Popper Casserole

Chicken Cordon Blue Casserole

Pancake Muffins - I actually can’t have these in the house any more because I have no self control when it comes to these guys.

Broccoli Salad

Brussels Sprouts & Bacon! - no recipe to link :/

FIVE FAVORITE PLACES TO BE

Somewhere in my house early on a weekend morning with no plans, the windows open with light and cool air streaming in.  

Back in California either at my parents’ house in Walnut Creek or visiting with friends in Chico at the Bear or walking in Bidwell Park

I’m racking my brain for more things to put down for favorite places but really, for me, it’s about a mindset and not a specific place.  It’s about the people I’m with and the feeling in the air and in my heart.  I could be on my walk and feel a warm breeze and a beautiful view and start skipping along (literally, I do this) or hear a song while I’m driving and be transported to a happy memory or place.  So yeah, I’m going to cheat and stop at two.  

Tagging @zerocarb, @morningcalmketo, @nhinfinity, @hello-manna and @wavesoflife13 in case any of you lovely ladies haven’t had the pleasure to complete this yet.

5 things I’ve always wanted to do:

4. Wander around traveling with a friend/significant other for a few months and just see a whole bunch of shit and not wear makeup the whole time and LIVE

5. Idk not to get crazy or anything but it would be nice to get married to a nice person that loves me unconditionally and all that jazz??

5 things I’m currently into:

1. Star Trek (I know, you never would have guessed that)

2. Space in general, it’s just hella pretty. I could care less how it works, I just like to look at it.

3. Learning about feminist and queer theory (I’m also a gender and women’s studies major) it’s all just wild and blows my damn mind, I love it so much.

4. Leonard McCoy and my personal headcanon that he’s just as much of an anxious mess as me :)))

5 things you may not know about me:

1. I think science is hella interesting and I have mad respect for people who can do it, but I’m TERRIBLE at it.

2. I’m a wild inter-sectional feminist hippie-liberal christian that lives in a constant state of annoyance at other christians that clearly do not understand what Jesus meant when he said LOVE EVERYONE, NO FUCKING EXCEPTIONS (that’s a direct quote)

3. I don’t do well when I don’t have some sort of structure to adhere to, it makes me really anxious when I feel like I’m floating around, meaning I LOVE being at school despite how stressed I get because it gives me purpose and tasks to complete.

4. I love to sing! I personally don’t think I’m very good at it, but I’m in an a cappella group at my school and I love it so much. (I’m a first soprano for anyone interested!)

5. The first “fanfiction” I ever wrote was in seventh grade, before I even knew what fanfiction was, and it was this bizarre combo of wizard of oz/wicked/lord of the rings I wrote with one of my friends. There are seventeen completed stories in all, and let me tell you, I’ve been re-reading them lately and they are fucking terrible.

tagging @anyakinamidala and @samwise-the-true-hero ! I’m sorry this was so rambly I just... can’t do one-word answers, apparently.

Five Things Challenge

So 'parently I was tagged by mage-lochlyn to do this challenge in which I post five things about myself, so... here you go!

1. I keep my favorite usernames for a long time... my last one was Pokexpert3334, so if you recognize it from somewhere it was most likely me!

2. My note taking skills are practically in the negative zone. Meaning: I suck at note taking xD

3. My favorite Pokemon is Flareon. It's so adorbs. <3

4. Because I'm naturally an anxious person I usually never go up to someone and start talking  to them; all my friends have befriended me, not the other way around.

5. Whenever I think actual thoughts they tend to be in story form... ex: 'What if she says no and our friendship is ruined?!' I thought nervously, chewing on my nails.

Now I have to tag some followers; 10, to be exact! Hmm, let's see... kat3031 intiqyi zoeythemooshroomqueen liaxing emmathewizard ninjacat1515 blessthesesugarycookies aquarellerose quibbler-quills the-kat-is-back

Feel free to do this if you want, guysh! :3 (Also thanks the mage of potatoes mage-lochlyn for tagging me! You're awesome :3)
