11 Things

Well, I've been tagged in two different posts, so I suppose I'll post two separate sets of answers. Anyways, here goes!

1) Post these rules

5) Go to their blog and tell them they've been tagged

4) Create 11 new questions for the people you tag to answer

3) Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post

2) You must post 11 random things about yourself

Eleven random things about me:

1. I am obsessed with books. (You probably already knew that)
2. I think chemistry and algebra are interesting. (Yes, I am a nerd)
3. I laugh. Alot. If people floated in the air when they laughed like in Marry Poppins, I would never be on the ground!
4. I desperately want to go to Ireland! 
5. I will do almost anything if you offer me Jelly Belly jellybeans. 
6. Logic and/or thinking things through is not my strong point. (You probably already new that to)
7. I'm writing a book. Or two. Or three.
8. I love sugar. 
9. I (sort of) speak Elven from both the LOTR and the Eragon series. (Eragon IS a word spellcheck)
10. I am a Horrible Speller. And spellcheck hates me!
11. I'm a gymnast...but I can't stand still without falling over at least once.

Terms of Endearment

Well, I 've been called many diferent things during my life. I've been called Giggles, (true enough), I've been called Peanut (by my mother) because I was the smallest baby, and for a long time, the youngest child. I've been called Spaz, not sure why.... :), I've also been called Graceful, (Sarcasm intended). I'm sometimes called Sister, or Bobi.
All of these I can, in some way fit into a catagory (except Spaz :). Giggles is a term of endearment from my friends who speak the truth brutaly in love. My famiy calls me Peanut and Sister, and Little Sis, and ONLY Little Sis calls me Bobi. Gym people have called me Spaz, (any ideas on that?) and they've called me Graceful. But recently, I received a nickname that I have uterly NO IDEA what to make of. Let me relate the circumstances. I was teaching my preschool gymnastics class, preschool (as in 2 and 3 year olds), mind you, when I accadentaly called a kid by the wong name.
Me: You're not John, are you?
Kid shakes his head and smiles
Me: I'm silly aren't I?
Kid (with enthusiastic grin): Yeah, and you look like Lady Gaga!
Now, I ask you, is this a compliment? I mean, what am I supposed to do with that?!?

Economics, Cheese-Its, and Things Like Chemistry

Well, Timothy started yesterday. Therefore, Literature, Spanish, and......(cue dramatic drum roll) chemistry. But enough of that. Timothy starting also means seeing several amazing people, some of whom I only see on Timothy days! It also means getting to steal borrow permanently people's cheese-its! Economics does fit in this post somewhere...I promise! Because when Timothy started, all my other school started full force. Thus the economics.
Another interesting thing happened on Tuesday. I was forced to admit (to myself) that I think that chemistry is interesting, and that I think that the way algebra works is kinda cool. Did I, just say that?? What is happening to my brain?? That being the strangest part of the day, the best part was stealing borrowing permanently the cheese-its!

Scatter-brained Ramblings

So I've finally done it. Yes, I have a blog. Because of peer pressure the kind and gentle encouragement of my friends, I decided to try it! I'll try to be consistent with posting, but as I am rather scatter-brained, no guarantees! :) So there you have it! Hope you enjoy my (sometimes nonsensical) ramblings!
