I was taggged by @kurapicah to name 3 things about myself that my followers might not know and to tag 10 people. I know some of my f-list has done this lately so I’m not sure who to tag. So if you’re feeling up to sharing stuff, consider yourself tagged.
Let’s see...what haven’t I actually told you guys? Hmmmm....
1. The summer before my brother was born, my mom took me to Children’s Palace and bought me a baby doll (photo (those aren’t the clothes she came with)) and when my brother was born he was the same size as the baby doll, so that was pretty cool to almost five-year-old me.
2. I won the non-AP Spanish class award in seventh and eighth grade for being the top student. I also was 15th and 16th place when I took the Indiana state Spanish exam in the non-native speakers category in ninth and tenth grades. Unfortunately my Spanish excellence floundered a little at Purdue because I hit a wall when it came to conditional and subjunctive tenses.
3. When I was almost seven-years-old, Beauty and the Beast (1991) came out and Belle had brown hair with hazel eyes and loved books. I was so excited because Belle was JUST LIKE ME at the time in personality and appearance. I feel like all people need that moment of !!!! about fictional characters, so I hope that I get to publish stories with a wide variety of characters so that I can spread that !!! feeling to other people. I take this hope very seriously, and sometimes it turns into major anxiety that I might not pull it off properly, but I think that if I work hard enough, I should be able to do this.
