7 Interesting Facts about Me

1. I have been with the love of my life for nearly two years now, and we got engaged last summer. 

2. I'm an English major with absolutely no intent to teach. I don't understand why people expect you to teach if you get your degree in English, but I would much rather go into publishing and editing. Although I'm not always perfect, I'm typically a strict grammar nazi! :)

3. Most all of my free time I spend reading.  I have a bad habit of reading many books at one time and also of buying large amounts of books to read before I've finished with the ones currently being read. 

4. I've had both my art and my writings published before, but none of it was work I was overly proud of. I know I'm capable of much better.

5. Not only do I love to read, write, draw/paint - I'm also a seamstress! Costume design is my favorite, but I've been known to sew items for my everyday wardrobe. 

6. My musical tastes can't be narrowed down to one genre. You'll find me listening to anything between Motley Crue to Frank Sinatra. 

7. My favorite places to go shopping? Flea markets and thrift stores. I'm not really your average girl.

Don't worry...next post, we're back to the journal topics!
