What are five random facts about you?
Random Fact #1: I feel honor bound to defend the weak and defenseless. When I was in third grade, I tried to prevent the boys on the school playground from killing a stink bug. I was unsuccessful but it took at least six boys to hold me back while the one boy stepped on the bug. I felt sorry for the bug….after all…all it was doing was being a bug in very dangerous place.
Random Fact #2: When I was sixteen, I fell off a cliff backwards and fell head first……I now believe that an angel cradled me when I landed in a shallow pool of water in the middle of a circle of huge boulders. The only injury I sustained was some scratches from the sand at the bottom of the pool at the base of my neck and shoulders. Plus the fact that I remember sitting in the pool and was soaking wet.
Random Fact #3: I have given birth to five children and never had a miscarriage. I consider my children God’s reward to me since all I can remember ever wanting to be was a Wife, a Mother, and a Homemaker. I have been many things but I still consider being a Wife, a Mother, and a Homemaker my greatest and proudest achievements.
Random Fact #4: My “real” father has been dead for over 24 years and I still hate him for the damage that he did and the total denial that he accepted as a way of life. Even if that is the only way he could live with himself, I remember and I do not forget or forgive.
Random Fact #5: I remember my first serious kiss. His name was Johnny and he was in second grade and I was in first grade. I was so in love with him. He was only in our school for a short time when his Dad got a new job and he moved. He broke my heart and even now when I hear the song “Johnny Angel”, I think of him.
I just answered this Featured Question, you can answer it too!

I love introspective blogs!
Kudos!
Hey — so you know how religion poses that we “should” forgive and forget. How come you don’t buy into that? I am curious on your take.
I love your user pic, and your header.
and actually, yeah, I knew she had continued it, Many Waters is a wonderful book, and I constantly make references to people I nickname ‘Maddog Branzillo’ but I think the beauty of her Wrinkle in Time books is that you can read them at any walk of life, and they only get better. You just notice more things I think. They really are marvelous. I work at a huge used book store, and I’ve just recently started reading more into the sci-fi genre. Right now I’m reading (among other things) Od Magic by Patricia Mckillip, and I LOVE it. 
Awesome site, I’ll friend and sub

1. i CAN’T wear nail polish. i start feeling like my fingers can’t breathe and then I can’t breathe. lol.. yes. i know it’s weird
2. i would rather have a significant other fall in love with someone else and leave me rather than sleep with someone else and ask for forgiveness. most people i talk to would rather have the second happen to them– although.. neither would be good too.
3. “thinspo” girls creep me out. a lot.
4. most of the people who know me will tell you that i make a lot of random sound effects when im talking and when i get overly excited about the littlest things.
5. i have 4 dogs, but i only really love one of them. it’s sad, but i can’t help how i feel haha
