014 Blasphemy

[autumnmuse]

I am about to admit something very blasphemous ...

I want snow.

I know, you're all shooting daggers at me right now, but *raspberries*. :D I only want that first, fresh, clean snowfall. I love the very first snowfall. it's all so beautiful, and the glistening sun off the white surfaces blinds you with joy. It's definitely cold enough here, so I am hoping we get a storm soon :D HAHA ... I know, I'm nuts.

Anywho! I was tagged byserys !

A. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
B. Tag seven people to do the same.

I tag -------»aldro ,blm ,booksyarntea thegrrlgeek ,feline_scribe andyada_yada.

1. I have the really bad habit of jumping to conclusions or rushing immediately to ‘negative thoughts’. It’s a habit I am really trying to break away from, but it’s hard. I have pushed people away because of this, and I can admit it’s usually 90% my fault. Though, it is a little vindicating when the thoughts I had were actually true and the person was a piece of poo …but sometimes I wonder if I push them to be that way with my assumptions. I’ve gotten a lot better over the years, but it’s still a bad habit I’d like wiped.
2. Like my journal friend who tagged me, I can’t sleep in total silence. I usually have some type of soothing noise in the background. Typically it’s my “rainfall” app which has a few good thunderstorm tracks that lull me to sleep. I love rain/thunderstorms.
3. I find it odd that I really love history a LOT, but I rarely talk about it or ‘squee’ about it in my journal. I love to read about ancient times, and imagine what it must have been like to live in those conditions, etc. My favorite civilization were the Ancient Egyptians, and my favorite historic person is Cleopatra—what a sensation should would have been in today’s society (or Puritan society :D). I also do love early American history (not the slaughtering of thousands of innocent indigenous people of course).
4. While I don’t believe 99% of the conspiracies out there in the world… I love to read and contemplate them. My favorite one of all time is also one of my favorite shows—Ancient Aliens. I love that show, and while a lot of it is just insane, I think it’s fascinating to think “What if?” LOL
5. I loooooooove stuffed baby sheep and baby elephants. They’re just so damn cute. I actually have a decent sized collection of stuffed sheep, and the elephants are a recent “OMGTHEYRESOCUTEMUSTHAVE” obsession so I only have two of them.
6. I burn quickly. I am very passionate, and that passion is quick to ignite and it burns fire hot…but it also fizzles quickly. I start projects all the time, get halfway, and abandon them. I’ll be super gung-ho about a video game, play it for a few weeks and then ditch it. I’ll start a scrapbook, get 10 pages done in two days, and then not touch it again for years. I don’t know if this is a bad habit, or if I just can’t make up my mind—ever.
7. Some people eat when they’re stressed or things are out of control in their life. Me? I shop. It’s not healthy on my wallet. I’ve learned to keep it to small things, but it’s still something I do a lot … especially now that I have Amazon Prime. I’m always buying eBooks or regular books, movies, small things I don’t really need, but want and fill a different need. I guess it’s better than stuffing my face with Big Macs though, right? Right! :D

And now you all think I am a psycho :D I’m really not. These are kind of my worst qualities … and I’m usually good about controlling them (not always though LOL).

I have snow I wish I could send you...it's doing it right now.

On your #1: I think it is very healthy of you that you can admit when you have a problem like this and and are able to admit that it is your fault 90% of the time. I wish you luck in breaking the bad habit. Sounds like you are working hard at it.

On your #5: They are cute...I have a couple plush cows, even though I don't even collect cows...I can't resist.

On your #7: Maybe this will help your wallet - There are sites that have coupons codes (if you shop online), like RetailMeNot...it may save you a few bucks.

Or there are places that give you free shipping codes too: http://www.freeshipping.org/

If you like ebooks: try Book Bub - Many of those are free or incredibly discounted. So, while you are therapy shopping, you can feed the urge by getting yourself something special while saving a little of your wallet.

Send me some! How much have you guys gotten? Are you in that crazy great lakes snowpocalpyse? LOL

I try to face my own faults when I realize them, but sometimes I dont realize them until too late or when I do realize them they're really hard to work through but I try. All we can do is try right? :D

I love cows too! But, I haven't collected those. I'm moving more and more into baby elephants haha ... but sheepies are cute too.

Ooo free stuff is always good (: I do like a few 'free' kindle sites which sometimes have a good book or two on them. Amazon Prime gives me free shipping which is another reason I feel like I can justify the shopping ): LOL But the remtailmenot is pretty awesome, thank you for pointing me toward it!

Come back & visit me again, we had snow yesterday! And tiny flurries today :)

I can totally relate to your #1. I have something like that & I'm trying hard to reshape my thinking patterns into a more positive form. Just being aware that we have these habits, is in itself a great first step!

[autumnmuse]

I'd love to! This time without the psycho :D I told LB and she said the two of us should definitely go, haha! I hear the areas around the great lakes are really getting pounded... glad you guys arent TOO affected. <3

Yeah, I think coming to an understanding about the truth, is definitely the first step :D

[t_hale_capital]

Fortunately we've only gotten some coldness and a small amount of snow. Glad I don't live in Buffalo!

You and L are welcome any time! I got plenty of room at my house :)

[autumnmuse]

You're the sweestest <3 LB said so too!

[aeris]

Hm, yes, you are crazy! If a snowflake falls here, the city will shut down!

Lol@6. I feel you with that one. It's really frustrating, too. I wish I had the discipline to see things through to the end.

[autumnmuse]

LOL! Yeah, some southern states would go NUTS if there were flurries :D We're used to snow and sometimes lots of it, but in the last two years we haven't gotten too much ... just really cold temps.

LOL Yeah I have NO discipline to see things through. I hate it sometimes because I feel like I am so flighty with my projects and 'all over the place' which can be very frustrating indeed :D

You should go to Tennessee to visit the mountains. We have plenty of snow there, all ready off and on.
