It's been a while since I've blogged and I was stuck on what to blog about, so I searched for some ideas. One site suggested blogging about things that people probably don't know about me. This seemd rather easy and somewhat fun, so I decided to do it. These are things that people might not know either because I've never mentioned it or because I simply don't talk about it.
1) I have two pets. I have a gray and white four-year-old Manx named Velcro. He is technically my pet - the rest of my family kind of hates him anyway - and he's an outside cat. He's very affectionate and loves attention. My other pet is my brown two-year-old shih tzu/poodle mix (shih poo) named Wookiee. He's the family's dog and he's playful and friendly.
2) The only instrument I can play is trumpet, but I want to learn more and start a metal band called Marshmallow Fluff. Seriously, how many metal bands have you heard of with cutesy names? So I'm going to try and learn another instrument or two.
3) I've always wanted to play drums. Always. When I joined band in middle school, I was really excited because I was finally going to learn. When I got in, though, one of my band directors said that you could only do percussion if you had 3 or more years of piano experience. I had no musical experience whatsoever, so I just decided to go try the trumpet. I ended up liking it, so I decided to stick with it. Now I'm teaching myself how to play piano and I eventually want to teach myself how to play guitar, but percussion is at the top of my list.
4) I hate frosting. Many people know this, but I still hate it. With a passion. I wish I could be a normal American and like frosting, but I can't. I always have to scrape it off when I'm eating some cake or a cupcake or whatever.
5) I really want to go to AnimeCon or something and cosplay as Dahlia Hawthorne or Maya Fey from the Ace Attorney series, but I would either have to save up for both tickets and a costume or figure out how to make my own costume. I often see all these cosplayers' costumes and I have to wonder how they did it. I'm awful at sewing (and I also really hate it) and I'm not good at that kind of stuff.
6) I moved to Colorado a little over 4 years ago. For the most part, I like it, but we need an In-N-Out here. And a Disneyland. And an ocean. That's probably the worst part - being in a landlocked state.
7) When I was around 13 or 14, I wanted to have a quinceanera. Even though I'm American and I don't have a bit of Hispanic blood in me. I just thought it was the coolest thing ever and I kind of wanted to have my huge celebration early. Why wait until you're 16, right? I, however, have already turned 15 and I just went out to dinner with my family. This year, I don't even want a huge celebration, either - I'm kind of planning on just hanging out with friends and doing dinner with my family again later.
8) I want to learn Finnish. I think it's an awesome language. I changed my phone so that everything is in Finnish and I have some notes on it in my binder, but it's a confusing language, especially because I've been teaching myself. I'm also trying to learn Spanish, but that language is easier, especially because I have it as a class at school.
9) I have fractured my elbow and possibly my tailbone. The former came out of pretending to be a cat and falling off a couch. The latter is when I slipped while on some stairs. It really hurt to walk.
10) I enjoy reading, writing, biking, music, hiking, law and politics, video games, movies, and a lot more.
