You know I can't be trusted with Super Glue, right?
I thought I'd be all smart and make a flower hair clip. Cause I'm head over heels for flower hair clips and they are kinda expensive sometimes... so, bright idea! Super Glue + fake flower + hair clip = pretty!!
Lets just say.. I probably wont be able to feel my fingertips for 3 days or so. And I gots me no pretty hair clips. :(
But enough of that. I posted on Facebook (or, as I call it - "the real world") that I'd answer some reader-submitted questions on my blog. Cause what ya'll want, ya'll get.
There were only 2 to start with. No big deal. Got this covered.
Then someone got all question-y and now there are 9. Hmmm. I'll give this a shot but I'm sleepy so we'll see how far I get.
The first one was:
"What is the hardest temptation that you have had to overcome, and have you overcome it?"
Probably my constant desire to be overly self-indulgent. Food, clothes, eating out, vacations, you name it. I always seem to want more than I actually need. So it's a constant discipline for me.. I am in the process of overcoming each day. Some days I fail miserably and with flair. Some days I rock it.
"What is my one admittable guilty pleasure?"
Well, I have more than one. But here's a good one: taking pics of myself and Photoshopping them to make me look all awesome. Either that, or making brownie batter expressly for the purpose of eating some of it.
"What do you count as your greatest triumph?"
I feel like I have great triumphs pretty often, but what was a triumph, say, 3 years ago is not such a big deal now that I've changed so much since then... and I can't really put my finger on one specific triumph for my entire life. So here's a few recent ones that I'm pretty stoked about:
Being offered a promotion at work. I love my job.
Getting to a place in life where I can let go of the bitterness I held from the past.
Finishing a half marathon.
Taking and passing the Team Oregon motorcycle class and getting my motorcycle endorsement.
"What's the grossest thing you've ever seen?"
Interesting question. And I have no idea.
"What's your opinion on "labels" such as "metal-head" and "punk"?"
I think labels have to be applied sparingly and with great consideration. Like Transformers, we are all "more than meets the eye."
"Have you ever heard a song that genuinely scared you?"
Can't say that I have.
"What would you say is your theme song?"
Oh man. It changes all the time! Right now I'm gonna say that it's a mash up of "Breathless", "Born This Way", "My Style", "Don't Cha", "Restless", and "Rooftops". figure out how to play THAT one.
And now the biggies...
"Who is Jesus to you? Not the standard Christian definition, who is he to you personally?"
Well I'm not sure I could tell you the "standard Christian definition" even if I wanted to, which I don't. So to me, Jesus is these things:
Friend.
Savior.
Comforter.
Love.
Loyal.
Inspiration.
Motivation.
Freedom.
Worth sacrifice.
Forgiver of my failures.
Provider of grace to do better when I mess up.
"When you feel like giving up, what keeps you going?"
It depends on the situation.. sometimes it's pure stubbornness, sometimes it's cause I want to impress people around me (not gonna lie), but mostly it's just cause I really want to be a better person and set myself up to live an amazing life, not just for me, but so I can help those around me. If I'm strong, empowered, and resourceful, I can make a difference in the lives of others. And to keep going when I feel like giving up helps me get to those places.
But for right now, the only place I want to get to is bed. I needs me some beauty sleep!
