…And what I want to know is: How can a completely spectacular person like me come up with six unspectacular things about myself?
And, having no one else to tag,(unlike the person who tagged me), I am forced to suffer alone.
1. I am strongly interested in musical instruments. Most people who know me also know that I play the piano, (I consider that to be the one spectacular aspect of me.) However, I also (in a very unspectacular manner) play the guitar, violin, fife, dulcimer, and recorder. Just for fun.
2. I have had a steadily increasing interest in photgraphy for the past few years, and am still exploring all the exciting elements of the fancy new camera that I purchased a little over a year ago. Besides doing pretty nature and portrait photography, I also enjoy taking pictures of random/unusual things. For instance, my brother flying through the air with or without his bike underneath him, or just strange sights in towns/buildings, and road signs in various places.
3. I recently discovered that I like movie soundtracks, and my collection has been increasing in the last couple years. I’m sure you want a listing: The Ten Commandments, Ben-Hur, Rio Grande, The Magnificent Seven, Gettysburg, The Patriot, Facing the Giants, Fidder on the Roof, and The Wizard of Oz. (no comment regarding the last mentioned)
4. Speaking of collections, I have been obsessed with collecting various items throughout my life, including(but not limited to), rocks, shells, crystals, cough drop wrappers, vacation Bible school projects, bugs(including a yellow jacket), crosstitch projects and emroidering thread, needles(and they all seem to get lost!!), yarn, scraps of cloth, pictures, little notebooks, stationary, lots of different kinds of paper, keychains(ranging from Larry Boy to green frogs), books, journals, recipe books, scrapbooks, quotes, and I could go on and on… I have remnants from all these, as well as several still complete collections.(excepting the cough drop wrappers; that one was short-lived, I believe.)
5. When I have absolutely nothing else to do(which doesn’t happen often these days) I either like to go do some type of vigorous exercise, go on a picture taking expedition, or sit down and read a good book(and don’t ask me what my definition of a good book is; I have a very wide range, and would never be able to decide the best one.)
6. Two great pleasures that I get out of everyday life are: Seeing God work in those little things that I thought were so insumountable(and they weren’t that big of a deal, really; why couldn’t I just totally trust Him in the first place?), and watching trees/grass blowing in the wind.
