Are You All Right, I Can Stand Up Straight, Can You Get Me Off Your Mind...

Chicago

My computer is broken- literally messed up- so my posting may be few and far between- just to warn ya. Here is a little meme that has been traveling around the blog community that I thought I would do.

I AM: "Whatever you say I am. If I wasn't then why would you say I am" Alright, Eminem lyrics aside, I am an artist, a music lover, a daughter, a sister and a caregiver.

I WANT: to be able to open up my own business in a couple of years.

I WISH: I could work part time and paint every day.

I HATE: racism, classism, sexism. Apparently I hate lots of isms in general.

I MISS: my dad, my grandma, and countless others that have passed away.

I HEAR: everything. You know I am up when the radio is turned on. I have a serious music obsession. I have a turntable, iPod, steroe and clock radio that all get used regularly.

I WONDER: where my life will take me.

I REGRET: not going to art school. I often think that I would have had a very different life. Not necessarily better- just different.

I AM NOT: one to mask my true feelings. I have never mastered a poker face and you can clearly tell what I am thinking by my actions or face. I also have a problem with blurting out too much truth. Ehhh...

I DANCE: all the time. We have a little thing called "dancing time (say it with a sharp DAAAAYYYAANNNCING) in my house. Spotaneous dancing is always good for the soul.

I SING: in the car, the shower, outside... all over the place

I CRY: while watching movies. I think I cry at movies more than real life stuff. Sad thing is that I especially cry at Disney movies.

I AM NOT ALWAYS: patient. When I have stuff to do there is only one pace- mine- and that means fast.

I MAKE WITH MY HANDS: art. I paint, I craft, I am always customizing something that I got from the store.

I WRITE: on this blog a little bit and I have countless idea books where I draw and then write out steps and instructions. Oh, and have I mentioned the countless lists that I write every day.

I CONFUSE: people sometimes. I am shy and quiet and loud and opinionated all in the same breath. I am a jumble of juxtopositions that I am sure makes people's heads hurt sometimes.

I NEED: a hero. Just playing- its just a song. I told you I was music obsessed. I need more time in a day so I can do all the stuff I want to do like paint, clean the garage so it can be a studio for me.

I SHOULD: exercise but damn, do I hate it. I should just make myself- apparently I am not always a good self-motivator.

I START: lots of projects. I am the queen of good ideas and starting projects only to flit to something else more exciting as I change my mind.

I FINISH: most things especially if they are really important or if they are for someone else besides me.
