A Day in My Life: Sept. ’13 : Princess Bride

dayNlife

You may or may not find this surprising, but as a writer I’ve never been much of a journaler (I like making up words). I’ve always kept writing, sketching, and poetry notebooks, but I’ve never really liked writing about myself. This monthly post is my attempt at rectifying that and is an opportunity for me to get a little personal, as I share a single event from my life.

September 2014 – Princess Bride

So my efforts to be more social took a little dive this past month, but I have gotten out a little. I only wish I had some pictures to share this time around, but since I don’t, I’ve barrowed one. I was supposed to go out and get involved in many different social events, but sometimes life has a course unknown to the one living it. I did manage to make it out to one of my oldest nephew’s Cross-Country meets were I had a nice conversation with one of the fathers there. He was drawn to my proclaimed Batman fangirl status, but we talked about much more than just comic book stuff. It was nice to have a good conversation with a relative stranger. We’ve agreed to look out for each other at other meets down the road.

My sister, ever the social butterfly, came to my aid once again in my efforts to be more social by inviting my husband and I to an event at her church. They were having a movie night and showing “The Princess Bride”. At the last minute, she and her family weren’t able to make it, but my husband and I stayed around and enjoyed ourselves. It wasn’t as social as I would have liked, but it was a step forward and besides, who gives up a chance to watch “The Princess Bride” on a big screen?

Top 5: 03 – Entertainments

This is a list of my top five something. Most of the time my lists are pretty static, but sometimes I do change my mind. While I do try to apply some logic to my choices, sometimes I pick things that make no sense and for no good reason other than “I like it.”

sample

Entertainments
1. Movies
2. Reading
3. Dancing/Music
4. Cooking
5. Stand-up Comedy

Of course I also like to write for fun, but it’s so much a part of who I am. It’s a part of me being me.
