Self-Absorbed Tuesday Post

When I suffer from Bloggers Block, a fellow blogger usually will offer some inspiration for a self-absorbed assessment of myself...here you go.

Three nicknames that you have had:
  1. Bun-given to me by my brother and his Eddie Haskell-like best friend and I have no idea why.
  2. Sunny-A name given to me only because we had to have a nickname on our senior jerseys in high school and I had never accepted a nickname of any sort by choice.
  3. Baby Sara-given to me by our neighbor, Don, only because I was the youngest Sara on the block...this name stuck long into high school.

Three things you don't like about yourself:

  1. My fears-too many to mention
  2. My laziness with diet and exercise
  3. My inability to understand things like insurance and other mumbo-jumbo.

Three things that scare you:

  1. Tornadoes and any other weather related phenomena that could lead to my demise.
  2. Bats-they could get stuck in my hair...now that is unreasonable fear.
  3. Carnies-Smell like cabbage, you know.

Three of your everyday essentials:

  1. Tim
  2. Diet Coke
  3. The Internet

Three things you are wearing right now:

  1. Jean Capris
  2. Rainbow Belt
  3. Glasses

Three of your favorite bands/musicians growing up:

  1. The Monkees
  2. The Beach Boys
  3. Cat Stevens

Two truths and a lie:

  1. I have three dollars and some change in my pocket.
  2. I love Pop-Tarts but only with frosting.
  3. My Care Bear's name was Funshine--the yellow one.

Three things you can't do without:

  1. Family
  2. Friends
  3. My toothbrush

Three things you most certainly can do without:

  1. Beets
  2. Rude people
  3. War

Three places you want to go on vacation:

  1. Scandinavian Countries
  2. Australia/New Zealand
  3. Some tropical wonderland where you drink brightly colored beverages and the only thing I am concerned with is what sarong I will wear to dinner and what song will be playing in my head as I walk down the beach as the sun sets on the ocean.

Three things you want to do before you die:

  1. Show them what I am made of.
  2. Open a can of worms.
  3. Turn things upside down.

Three people you want to know these things about:

  1. Actually, I would love to know these things about anyone. These are the types of things people talk about as they sit around a campfire or when they stay up too late.

Hi, its the 1995 reader...I have a question. Way back when you wrote about religion. I keep thinking about it. You had provided a link and spoke of the open-minded religion and I can't find the post. Can you talk more about it?
