I Do. I Don't. I Have, the "I" Tag.

Ms. ClaireBear saves the day with a meme I know, for the blog world loves her so.

Brilliant with personality this meme is, I feel honored to be one of those who gets hit by the touch of Claire's blogging magic. Since I've buried my nose long enough into Barbara Kingsolver's "The Poisonwood Bible" (a novel), which brought me a week of no new posts, I'd like to step away from the book for a while to get back to blogging. And since I learned from Kingsolver that another meaning takes its sense when you type certain phrases on backwards, a new way of writing is definitely a must try. Now I could actually put it into practice for this post.

Post this for practice. Into it, put "actually". Could I now?

The rule: Fill and Forward, I imagine.

I AM....your typical girl next door who knows no more about ruling the world than how to breed Okapis. If I disappear in the morning, you'd still find me walking my dogs in the afternoon and reading a novel at home in the evening. That's me in a nut-shell.

I WANT...more hours in a day when I'm having fun, and less when nothing exciting is happening. Like, work. Yeah. Work.
Work. Yeah. Work-like.

I WISH...I could go with my Grandma to visit Philippines this April. The reasons: Grandpa is not doing well, aunts and cousins to see in Cebu, and the higher value of a dollar for splurge shopping.

I HATE...the fact that I can't find a friend to go to a concert with me this weekend.

I FEAR...I might have to go to the concert alone with my sister and her high school friends, this weekend.

I HAVE...a crush on a couple of my fellow bloggers.
Oooohhhh....who could it be?!
Be it, could....You?! Oooohhhh....

I SEARCH...for the best shoe-store-sale this spring. I do, aside from the adjustment of hours in a day, still want wedge shoes.

I WONDER....when someone first came up with hot dogs, how they got around to selling it then the way they do now with no one knowing what it was and where it came from. But I guess curiosity sells, so there's a bit of an answer.

I REGRET...nothing in my life, even the biggest mistakes. Life is too short to live with thoughts of what could have beens and what should have beens when it's the here, the now, and the beyond that really counts.

I LOVE...the scent of new shoes. Rubberish. Fresh.
Fresh rubber.

I ALWAYS...pray before I sleep.

I AM NOT...going to bed until I finish this.

I DANCE...to Scissor Sister's "I Don't Feel Like Dancing", Sugababe's "Push the Button", The Hoosier's (oddly enough) "Goodbye Mr. A", and anything that the band Orson sings.

I SING...all the time. At my best. Always.

I CRY...when I'm sad, I'm mad, I'm happy, and when I'm physically hurting.

I WRITE...poorly in high school, which era of writings lies between the lines of BS-ing and best wishing. I'd like to think I've gotten better since then.

I WON...the lottery more than once in my dream.

I AM CONFUSED...about what I should do in life (seems like I've been driven astray for a while).
Life in DO. Should I "what-about"?

I NEED...money just like everybody else.

I SHOULD...really go to bed. I'm tired.
Tired, I am. Bed, to go.

THE LAST THOUGHT I GO TO SLEEP WITH IS...that at least one person is thinking of me right this moment.
-------------------------------------------------


It's an open meme. I pass it forward to anyone.


Happy Tagging!
Tagging happy!

hehe I loved your responses. Good stuff, and I liked the new twist you added. :P

What a truly gorgeous set of answers that perfectly reflect the wonderful person you are. Whoever you go to the concert with, I hope you have a fantastic time.

I too am confused about what to do with life also. It never seems to get easier.

I am building a backlog of memes that I need to respond to, I think I am going to add this once to the list. I'll let you know when I complete it.

Wishing you a nice Sunday ~ Luv Graham x
