"There are things that drift away like our endless numbered days"

First off, I want to thank everyone for all the nice comments left about my photographs in my two previous posts (and the post here as well). I enjoyed taking them and it's fun sharing them with a wider audience than just the people I encounter on a daily basis. At the same time that I had my vacation film developed I also took in a few rolls of mystery film that had been forgotten about. After picking them up from the developing center I was quite amused with what I found. There were some photos I didn't even remember taking which made the experience all the more pleasantly surprising. I'll be sure to share some of them in the near future.

Other than the recent posts with my vacation photos most of my update ideas have required the use of a digital camera - something of which I do not own. The display screen on mine broke last summer and since then I've been using a digital camera belonging to a family member. Their camera is currently being borrowed, so that accounts for the slow down in my posting. Hopefully I'll be able to share everything that's been put on hold sometime soon.

Now, I figured this was the perfect opportunity to complete an award/tag passed along to me by milk at 2 Percent. Thank you again for the tag, milk :)


10 Honest Things About Myself

1. I often become paranoid when I have to set my alarm clock. Even after making sure it is set before I turn my light out for the night, I'll turn my light back on to double (or sometimes even triple) check.
2. I like more vegetables than fruits. People are usually shocked by this and then inquire by running down a list of their favorite fruits to which I politely reply "No, I don't like that one either."
3. No matter what, I have to have a well-stocked tea supply at home. 4 - 5 varieties is my minimum.
   
4. Sometimes I watch films with the English subtitles on. I know it sounds silly, but it helps when the dialogue is spoken in an accent or if the characters talk too quickly.
5. In theory I like to be neat and tidy, but I am a total pack-rat, so most of the time I find myself in the midst of organized chaos.
   
6. Driving at night makes me uneasy. As does driving in any combination of rain, fog, wind, snow, ice, etc.
7. When I was younger I would spend hours poring over atlases and encyclopedias. I like maps and information.
8. I enjoy being in the company of others, but I also have no problem doing things, such as shopping and going to movies, by myself. Sometimes I even prefer it.
9. Two of my favorite musical scores are those from Tuck Everlasting and Sense and Sensibility. I can easily listen to them for hours on end.
10. As odd as it may sound, I like when a song moves me to tears. Sometimes listening just isn't enough... I need to feel it to fully enjoy it. Notable examples: "Moving Pictures Silent Films" by Great Lake Swimmers, "Passing Afternoon" and "The Trapeze Swinger" by Iron and Wine.
