Some hours ago, I found out I was nominated for the “Tell Me About Yourself Award” by Cate from Infinite Sadness… or what? . It was quite a surprise, and kind of made my day, I have to say.
I started this blog a year ago, still haven’t got much traffic, so it’s really a honor. Specially because I’ve been following Cate’s blog since I discovered it too.
So, acording to the rules of the award, it seems it works like this:
First, I thank and link to the blog of the person that nominated you before you start.
Then, tell the world 7 things I think that might be interesting about me.
Then, I should add my 7 nominees.
Well, I got 2 problems here by accepting this award:
1. The only blog I follow is from the person that nominated me, so that brings my list of nominees to 3.
2. I think I might have told most of the interesting things about me in my About page.
Well, I loved it and I realy like Cate’s blog, so just for linking her’s in mine I’ll give it a try.
So, I might repeat some things from my About page, but I’ll try to tell more than I do there.
So here I go. At first glance it seems like a list of things I love, but it’s more than that.
This is the last thing I made, used watercolor and black ink pen. It was in a rush, but I liked it. I have more published in my blog.
1. I love art. I like drawing, painting, folding, these kind of things. I also believe it’s really therapeutic, and since I’m kind of depressive, my art is usually kind… gnarled and depressive too. I’ve been told I had talent on it since I was a kid, but never develop this, mostly because of my family’s pressure for doing something that would make me earn more money, like Medicine or Law… I don’t blame my parents, though, they had a really rough childhood (specially my father, who had to endure even hunger). But I’m always scribbling something, as long I have a piece of paper near me, can be words or drawings.
2. When I was a kid, I loved to run away. I was really young, so I don’t remember all the times I did it. My family says that when I ran away from home (because I would run from school too) I usually was found near the city’s cemetery. We lived in a small city in the countryside until I was 7, so nothing really happened to me, and I was really easy to find, since everybody knew everybody there.
3. I love food. I love cooking, but what I love the most of it is eating. I kind of eat like a pig, still I’m kinda thin. My friends say I have a “hollow leg”, since the food must go somewhere… Oh, well, spices and different things, I love to try then, specially in travels, as long it doesn’t have seafood in it (it makes me sick).
4. I’ve been to college a few times already, even though I’m just 21. I studied Law for 4 months and Biology for 2 weeks (that explains it). I’ve also applied for Medicine, International Relationships, Cinema (passed but didn’t go because I passed in Psychology right after), Arts (I panicked in the practical test, didn’t pass… hope that’s the reason…), and Psychology, wich I’ve been studing since last year. I never really knew what I wanted to do, but I think I found myself in Psychology. It might sound ironic, a depressive being a psychologist, but my theraphist say’s I’m strangely good at it, and I think I’ll be fine untill I graduate. The “strangely” is my addition.
5. I want to have as many kids as I can raise. That’s why I wish I won the lottery or something, so I could raise a bunch of kids confortably with loads of time to spend with then. I want to have at least 2, but only if I can provide a good life for then.
6. I love water. Bathing, swimming, drinking it, I have no idea why, but just touching it already pleases me. So rivers, lakes, fountains, I love it all… but, when it comes to the beach, I hate it. Don’t know why, but I hate everything in a beach: be it of sand or stones, just hate it. Funny thing is that diving and swimming in the sea away from the beach is just awesome. Don’t know what my problem with the beach is, but it’s the only way to make me hate water. Unless it’s poluted, of course.
7. When I drink alcohool, and I shouldn’t, but I do, I become an evil crazy dancing bitch. Even though I don’t know how to dance. It doesn’t go well with my medication, and I kind of end up drinking too much, but when I go out is really hard to hold back. I just don’t go out then. I realy fear getting any kind of drug addiction, specialy because I want to have kids, and depressive people are kind of more vulnerable.
Oh, well, I think that does it. Now, for the nominees, I’m sorry if I’m breaking the rules, but I don’t really want to put just anyone here. Not that I think it would make a great difference for them, but I realy don’t think it’s the point of this to find ramdom people to throw here. So I searched for the blogs I had liked and commented before, and since Cate’s already mentioned, they’re just 3:
Lea & Jay (http://leaandjay.wordpress.com/) – my wildest dreams are to try all those food, specialy the Nutella, Double Chocolate & Banana Tart.
I love photography and traveling, and because of that these two caught my attention:
Charlotte Hu Photography (http://charlottehu.wordpress.com/)
Duane Pandorf (http://blog.duanepandorf.com/)
