The Sunshine Award

My friend Krystal at That Redheaded Life, has given me the challenge of interviewing myself for the Sunshine Award.  Now, this is probably one of the hardest tasks I've been given because I'm not very introspective, creative, or really interesting for that matter.  However, who doesn't love a challenge that not only allows others to get to know you, but for one to get to know oneself.  The rules to the sunshine award are below.

1. Post 11 Random Facts about yourself

2. Answering the 11 questions asked by the nominating blogger.

3. Nominate 11 bloggers (if you know that many) that you think bring sunshine into the world

4. Come up with your own questions to ask your chosen bloggers!

Now on to my task:

1.  I am a huge bookworm, but I don't often find the time to read as much as I would like to

2.  I am basically addicted to all things television and film.  

3.  I have always dreamed of being an actress.  As a matter of fact, I will be starting acting classes soon :)

4.  I'm a daddy's girl.  Always have been, always will be.  My dad is my hero.

5.  I have confidence issues.

6.  I am really shy until I get to know you, but no matter how well I do know you, I very RARELY ever let my guard down.

7.  I don't have many close friends, and those that are are chosen wisely.

8.  I've always struggled with my religion, going from believing, to not, to believing again.  That being said, I've never even read the entire Bible, only passages that someone else may have suggested.

9.  I wish I was closer to all of my family members.  I have a love/hate relationship with my mother and a non-existent relationship with my baby sister (both of which I have tried to fix.)

10.  I love being outdoors and enjoy adventures.  I actually plan on embarking in many adventures once I get settled in Texas.

11.  I work out everyday, am an amateur "yogi," and have been striving to live a healthier lifestyle.

Below are my answers to Red's questions

1. What are your nicknames? What do you prefer to be called?

My nicknames are Ang and Angie, but I prefer to be called Angie.

2. What books on your shelf are begging to be read?

Right now I have two books that are begging to be read.  The Help and Hidden from The House of Night Series (of which I am super behind on!)

3. How often do you doodle? What do your doodles look like?

I very rarely doodle, but when I do you can expect flowers, stars, and hearts, ya know, the basics. :)

4. What do you do if you can’t sleep at night? Do you count sheep? Toss and Turn?Try to get up and do something productive?

I often have problems sleeping at night which almost always results in tossing and turning and if that doesn't work, I sometimes turn on the tv.

5. How many days could you last in solitary confinement? How would you do it?

I think I might be able to last in solitary confinement for two days, and that's pushing it.  The only way I could survive those two days would be if I had a lot of books to read and I would work out to pass the time.

6. Do you save old greeting cards and letters? Throw them away?

I save almost all of my cards and letters

7. Who is the biggest pack rat you know?

My grandma Cynthia is by far the biggest pack rat I know!  Don't worry, she knows it too.

8. When making an entrance in to a party, do you make your presence known? Do you slip in and look for someone you know? Do you sneak in quietly and find a safe spot to roost?

This really depends on whether or not I pregamed! LOL  If I haven't had anything to drink I would most likely slip in and look for someone I know,.  If I pregamed, I would probably just start chatting with strangers.

9. What is your strongest sense? If you had to give one up, which would it be?

My strongest sense would probably be my sense of smell.  I wouldn't want to give any of my senses up, but if I had to choose I guess it would be..ummmm this is so hard...smell.

10. How many times a day do you look at yourself in the mirror?

Probably 3 or 4 times

18. What is something about yourself that you hope will change, but probably never will?

My temper

Whom I will be Tagging

I actually do not know anyone, other than Red, who has a blog so basically anyone who reads this is welcome to comment with your blog info and complete the challenge. :)

My questions to you:

1. What is your favorite book?

2. What historical event fascinates you the most and why?

3. Who do you idolize?

4. What is your most prized possession?

5. What is your favorite type of food?

6. What is one exercise that you loathe?

7. If you could be anything in the world, what would it be?

8. If you could only choose one foreign place to visit in your lifetime, where would you go?

9. You're making a playlist and only have room for 5 artists.  Who would you choose?

10. If you could reconnect with someone from your past, who would it be?
