So, I was tagged by Nicky and so here I go... You are supposed to tag seven others but I think everyone I know has been tagged.

Seven Secrets... *I think that is what this is... LOL

1. I was practically raised by a gay man. Well, not exactly, but he was a good friend of my mom and I and was there for us when we needed it. From the ages of 10-14, he was the male role model in my life. This may disturb some of you, but Robert had met Jesus and walked away from his homosexual lifestyle, but unfortunately not before he contracted HIV. He spoke encouraging things into my life, and made me see my self worth in spite of my weight or appearance at the age when most girls really start to struggle with deriving their identity from their looks. He died shortly after I turned 15, and I miss him to this day.

2. My father used to quote the Gettysburg Address instead of cussing when I was in earshot. This resulted in me being able to quote it by the age of eight. On the note of cussing, I dropped my first F-bomb in the fourth grade when someone paid me a dollar to say it.

3. My absolute favorite smell in the whole world is Christmas tree, I would carry a sprig with me at all times to smell it if it were practical. If the pine candles sold by Yankee candle actually smelled like real trees I would own massive quantities of them.

4. I have eaten more taco bell in the last 2 weeks, than in the previous four months combined. For some reason I have been craving Nachos supreme and bean burritos. I don't usually love the taco bell, but some serious cravings have occured lately.

5. I have written three things in this space, but have deleted them because they were too deep, too painful, and too revealing. I want to be seen as funny and insightful, not emotastic.

6. I wish I could be a pretty cupcake maker, a marine biologist, a wedding planner, a librarian, a historian, a teacher, a mother, and an award winning writer. But I'd settle for only doing a few of those...

7. I am truly glad this is the end, I am running out of things to write although it has provide a delightful break in my hardcore studying. But I want to go to Disneyland on Tuesday but can only go if I have finished 10 pages of my paper, so I have to write 8 pages tomorrow so I can go.... And I think I might have to get a wheelchair at DL because the standing and walking isn't working so well, but maybe if I am nice to my back tomorrow I can do it.

I tag... All of those who have been tagged but haven't done it yet, and any of the random people who check out my blog on occassion.
