Day Three

Today's challenge is Seven Secrets. Sort of sounds like the lead in to a scary movie. This is really a tough one, what secrets can I get away with telling? Here goes nothing.....

1. I really enjoy mass. Ok. Maybe not the biggest secret in the world, but I do kind of feel guilty. I was raised Southern Baptist and went to an Independent Baptist school, so between the two of them, Catholics are kind of "on the fringe of God". Which of course is dumb. I just really enjoy the ceremony and reverence that we sometimes forget about in Protestant churches. I'm not keen on the not understanding half of it and I still don't understand, stand-sit-stand-sit. However, I still dig it.

2. I kind of like Lady Gaga's music. I know, I know. She's awful, probably pshycotic, and has attrocious taste in clothes. But I still like some of it. Once I figured out what she meant by "Bad Romance", I now find myself signing that song at the top of my lungs in my car. There are a few songs I do refuse to listen to...anything that mentions disco. Need I say more?

3. I have blocked most of my relatives on FB. They probably don't know, because they never responded to posts or made any effort to communicate with me. We aren't close, but it still sounds kind of bad.

4. I'm secretly terrified that I am boringly mediocre. I actually spend time worrying about it. I look at where I am and worry that I will never be anything more. I feel trapped because I'm not brilliant and can barely support myself. I worry that I will never be really GOOD at anything. Ok. I'm nuts, but it's a secret!

5. I used to chew pencil erasers....and Barbie doll feet and hands.....and the zipper pull on my coat. Anything that had a "give", I chewed it. My poor Barbie's were mutilated with flat hands and there was never any way to erase my mistakes in school. I had a pretty bad oral fixation. But have you ever chewed the ends of pens??? There is something so satisfying in gnawing it to bits, weird I know, but I also know I am not alone!

6. I still enjoy cartoons. Full length cartoons, not the adult geared Pixar, but Sleeping Beauty and Beauty and the Beast. The Goofy movie, Balto and many many more. I don't think I will ever outgrow that. There is such a simplicity, a knowledge that the hero and heroine actually win. None of this vague ending crap. It will probably make having kids way easier.

7. Finally! You havent seen that it has taken me forever to decide what secrets to tell and what not to. I have been thinking about this darn challenge for DAYS! Ok, last one. I like to buy "fashion porn" magazines when I go on long flights. I'm partial to Vogue, People, and sometimes Glamour. That is about the only time I usually purchase them. If they are laying around, I read them, but I try to not actually spend money on them. I know they are bad for the mind (I mean really, who has ever read one and not gotten some sort of clothes/hair/body complex????) but its fun to look at all the pictures. ;)

Til tomorrow!
