G'day Mate! Have you seen my wallaby?

Bonjour all!! So I have been pondering and I think I should make up a nickname for the peeps that religiously follow my blog. You know like how Lady Gaga refers to her fans as her "Little Monsters"? Maybe I should start calling you...... hmmmmm........ mini meemee's? Pink poodles? Petite baguettes?? I'm not sure. That is your assignment for this post. Those of you that are avid readers MUST respond with your vote.... I'm kinda liking the pink poodles!! Hahaha! And if there are any boys/men that read.... well... lets just hope you are secure in your masculinity! ;-) But seriously- let me know! We could even get jackets! Ok, maybe not that far but I want to give you all nicknames!! :-D Then I will REALLY feel like a celebrity!

Any way. On to what I wanted to talk about today. I feel like this blog is going to kinda be all over the map today. I'm feeling random and am willing to share some more random facts about me! So now the question is- where do I begin??

As I sit here in the living room, listening to music (Whitney Houston currently playing.... probably will cry in a min or 2 :p), I am watching the squirrel that lives outside our window. This reminded me of the little fact about me. I enjoy giving the random animals that live in my neighborhood names. No, not the dogs or cats that already have a name but the wild animal life (although, I do enjoy giving alternate names to the dogs in the neighborhood!). For example. We have two fuzzy bunny wabbits that live under our deck and I have named them Forrest and Bubba. You know, as in characters from Forrest Gump? I'm pretty sure one is male and one is female but that doesn't matter. One year they even had little babies together! A whole litter of Forrest Jr.s!! That's not the only wild life I named. Oh! I forgot to mention- my mother actively encourages and supports naming the wildlife. Just as an FYI. You'll see why in a minute. Any way. We have a squirrel that lives across the street. He is special because his tail is short and stubby so we can identify him from the other squirrels (No, we didn't mame him. He was just born that way). His name is Maurice!! And he is a cute lil guy! He has taken a special liking to my mom. She decided that it would be fun to feed him bread out our front door. That was until he got a little TOO friendly. One day she saw him in the front yard so she opened the door. He came bounding up the steps. She closed the door and went and got some bread. When she got back, he wasn't in the yard. She looked down and he was patiently waiting in front of the door. She cautiously opened the door and scooted him down to the bottom of the steps. Now, when ever he is across the street, all my mom has to do is open the front door and he comes running. Awww Maurice loves my mom!!! <3 That brings me to the squirrel that lives outside my dorm room window. His nest is perfectly positioned so I can watch him while lounging on the couch. I have given him the name of Trevor. At first I called him Ted but that name didn't fit. Trevor was better. Hahaha I'm a poet and I don't even know it! ;-) I can tell him apart from the others cuz he has a very slender tail. You know..... I kinda sound like a squirrel creeper! Well, apparently it is hereditary because not only does my mom do it but my Aunt does too. She feeds a squirrel nuts and calls him Mr. Peanut. She is so caring with this lil guy that she hand feeds him. That's right. He takes the peanut right from her hand. Well enough about squirrels! Side note- I am excited to move out so that I can get a min pin puppy and name him Spunky.... like the dog from Rocco's modern life??? He was awesome! Wow that was random...

Let's see...... what else.... Well, sometimes I talk to myself in different accents. Like in my head and, from time to time out loud. I've gotten good at a British accent. I'm still working on my french one (as Angela will tell you). My french r's are tres magnifique!! ;-) Hmmm..... I love music so I always have something playing. Unfortunately, I can't listen to it while I do homework otherwise I get distracted. Actually, its hard to write this and listen to music at the same time but so far so good. Just a few instances of pauses so I can get up and dance. NOT kidding! I am the first to admit that I am a horrible dancer but I just can't help myself. That and singing along (loudly) make for a lovely combination! If only you could see me now!! Hahaha!! Too bad I didn't start a vlog!! Which, actually, might be in the works! But then you'd hafta stare at my mug while I talk and let's face it.... no one wants that! ;-)

I am an accomplished song writer.... except that the one song I wrote was lost when my computer died last year. It was set to the tune of Aqua's Barbie Girl and was all about Dog the Bounty Hunter. It was awesome..... I even started one about Jared Allen to the tune of California Gurls.... never finished that one though. Hmm... maybe I should pick that back up!

What else..... as some probably know, one of my all time favorite movies is Gone With the Wind. Now, typically I get the- "That is such an old movie. How do you watch that junk?". Well let me tell you! It is AMAZING!!! AND! How can you not like Scarlett O'Hara. She was the original bad bitch!! Love that girl! I watch that movie and imagine myself as her. She was the first to not give a frog's fat ass about what anyone else thought. Plus the dresses are awesome!! ;-) I can identify with her. She was the HBIC (head bitch in charge) of her era, and I am totally an HBIC! I'm not afraid to admit it. I'm opinionated and don't care.... well.... most days!

To close it up I'll get a little personal. I am a shy and deeply personal individual at heart. This is something I am trying to change. The shy part. I wish I was outgoing sooo bad!!! Then I could just walk up to the guy I like and ask him out instead of waiting for him to ask me. Or I wouldn't feel awkward in a crowd of my fellow nursing students and peers. On the outside I might appear to have it together but on the inside it scares the hell out of me. Maybe it stems from being judged my whole life and now I just assume that people automatically judge me. I'm slowly but surely learning this isn't the case. With more time and acceptance, I hope to burst from my shell like a firework! ;-) Something I have learned by starting this blog is that people really do care and want to hear what I have to say. Thanks for listening... or rather- reading!! I know that by reading this, you care about me. It might be small to you but it is big to me.

As always, thanks for your continued support! And don't forget to leave your vote for a nickname!! Suggest more if you like. I enjoy reading anything you say!! <3 <3
