Stephs_2103’s blog

So I just joined http://friday5.vox.com and since  I want to waste time, I'm gonna fill out on of the past Friday 5's.

1.When you need to be somewhere, do you tend to be late, early, or right on time?
I am almost always ridiculously early. 

2.Have you ever been pulled over, or gotten trouble because you were in a hurry?
Of course!  Completely rearranged my life for 6 months because of it.  I still argue that the area is not properly marked as a school zone.

3.What was one of the reasons you left a previous job?
I was broke as a joke.  Not that I didn't love the job, or the amount of time off I had, or some of the people. . I just couldn't pay the bills.

4.How long does it take for you to get ready to go?
Anywhere between 30 minutes and an hour and a half.  Depending on how pretty I feel that day and whether or not I have to pack to go somewhere else that night.

5.Show us something you can't leave home without.

In 5 words or less, who are you?

1. Passionate.  I've been told many times that no matter what I do, big or small, I always seem to put so much passion into it.  I get it fixed in my head that I want to do things and I do them.  BUT, I've noticed that it really has be something that I want, not something that is expected of me.  I'm also very passionate about my relationships.  Deep friendships and relationships mean so much to me.  I only hope that I provide the same kind of friendship/relationship that I desire from other people. 

2. Discovering.  I feel like I am constantly changing.  Not necessarily who I am, but more so growing into a better me.  I am constantly wanting to learn about new things and experience things that can help me grow.  My most recent 'discovery' is my desire to develop a closer relationship with God.  [Again, something I have become very passionate about.]  And since I have made this 'discovery,' I honestly feel that my attitude and life has changed in such a positive direction in every way.

3. Adventurous. [This is a new thing.]  I just want to meet, do, see, visit, travel, learn, and just experience new situations.  My whole life I have been very distant.  I've been so scared to try new things and ever since I have changed that outlook, I have accomplished so many things I have wanted to do.  I wanted to be a runner.  I am now on a regular basis.  I wanted to get back into church and finding my religion - I am.  I wanted to go rock climing - I did, and hope to make it a regular thing!  I wanted to get closer to my family - I have.  [And for those of you who know me well, know that this has been a major struggle for me.]  I wanted a promotion at work - I got one.  I wanted to grow in my relationship with Johnny for the better and fix things about myself such as insecurities that brought us down - I feel like we are closer than we've ever been.  Sounds corny, but this has been the first year that I have actually sought to succeed in completing my new years resolutions!! =)   I just don't feel scared anymore.  [About new things, I mean. . we all know I'll always be a crazy paranoid person.]

4. Contemplative.  Oh my gosh am I analytical.  It drives me CRAZY.  I know that this is kind of just a female thing, but I just analyze and analyze every single little thing that people do or say. 

5. Open-minded.  I pride myself on and hope to set an example as a person who is completely, whole-heartedly open-minded.  My mother raised me to love everyone - regardless of race, gender, religion, sexuality, nationality, beliefs.  And while some people drive me wild with their close-minded beliefs, I still love them.  And I am so happy that my mom enstilled that quality in me.  It's my turn to pass it on.  =)
