Ominous words, I know.
I don't really have anything important to say, I don't have arty things to showcase, I don't have music to promote, I don't have step-by-step tutorials to inspire craftiness. I don't even have an adorable kitten or baby to invoke the "aww"s. Maybe as this progresses, I will find a niche, or something. Until then, all I have is words and my elementary school aspirations to be an author which were somewhat snuffed in later years. It's a good thing no one will read this.
That is until I find my niche and blow up and become an internet sensation. Joking. Maybe.
So, me. Let's see. Well, I'm a poet, as proven by those two sentences. I'm in my second year of college and should be transferring to university within the next couple semesters. Right now, I want to go into elementary education and unfortunately I have absolutely nothing to say about myself anymore-- and so here it is, folks, the 25 things facebook meme that I did ages ago copy and pasted into my blog:
1) Until recently, i had all the magazines i had ever bought since 1999 in my closet. That includes 4 subscriptions. I went through them all, ripped all the important stuff out and glued it into a notebook.
2) 70% of my clothes are thrifted. ( I actually did a test on this- i pulled 10 things out of the dryer just now and 7 were secondhand-yay for legitimacy!)
3) I played on a volleyball team in grade 7. No joke.
4) I also was in a choir. If you know me, you know how difficult (and painful) this is to imagine.
5) My mom taught me how to handwrite in 2nd grade, only to have Mrs. Cameron tell me i was doing my o's, f's and z's wrong. I told her that was how i handwrote. She called my mom in for a meeting to discuss my "unruly ways". i was a rebel, what can i say?
6) When my grandfather came to Canada he added the E into my last name. It was STRMANN before, which is just illogical.
7) I never ever ever paid for a pokemon card, instead getting people's doubles and trading for other stuff.
8) I went to German school for 6 years.
9) I hated the Spice Girls.
10) Someone on my street had a HUGE wood cutout of a grey cat nailed to the side of their garage when i was a kid. Like it was actually like 12 feet tall plywood cat, with painted eyes, and painted whiskers. We thought was weird at the time, but in retrospect was really really really weird.
11) I woudn't wear jeans until grade 4, because they were uncomfortable and had no stretch. Dresses took even longer.
12) I was terrified of skin cancer when i was 11, and we went to Mexcio for a week. I didnt think the sunscreen would protect me efficiently, so i did the logical thing, wore a long sleeve to cover my arms and back... the only thing i had was a polar fleece. I got heat stroke and threw up all over the back of a cab on the way back to the hotel. My dad tipped him very handsomely, and i was stuck in the hotel room for three days, where i was safe from skin cancer.
13) Every morning of grade 12, i was woken up by my father tickling my foot and saying "Wakey wakey wakey" in an annoying high pitched voice. I don't know how this started.
14) I was in a elite spy group, YPPS (the letters dont stand for anything, its just SPY backwards with an extra P to confuse people and throw them off the trail that we were a spy group). We ran around the neighbourhood and took notes on the happenings. We had meetings in my giant purple playhouse.
15) Chocolate cookie dough is the greatest soccer play of all time. Okay, maybe not, but the code name is.
16) I saw Chicago in London with Brooke Shields, and am HORRIFIED that Ashlee Simpson has been involved in that.
17) People said I looked like Ashlee Simpson pre-nose job. As we have the same nose apparently, i take offense to the nose job. That was a lot of Ashlee hate there, wasnt there? Let's continue on that strain... Bronx Mogwli is a really ugly name for a baby. Ha!
18) I was going to be name Aja (pronounced ASIA) for the Steely Dan song.
19) i needed stiches across my forehead when i was like 16 month old. I was dancing and lost balance and smashed my head against the fire place. I never danced well again.
20) I have never seen a Harry Potter film, much to the frustration of my friends.
21) I have never been further east than Alberta, and going down the coast ive done: washington, oregon, california, mexico.
22) i like to have the windows open when i drive.
23) I talk in my sleep. Lots.
24) I don't really know how to apply eyeliner. Or do my hair. It's always a crapshoot.
25) I LOVE board games.

Me, summarized and put into a nice little box. Let's see how long this lasts.
