10 Truths
I did a little game of 10 truths about myself with another listener, and found that it was a fun way to learn about who I was! I think it would be fun to get even more people involved so that we can actually get to know one another in the 7cups community! My 10 truths: 1. I am gender-queer (feel free to ask) 2. I am a 18+ year dancer :-) 3. I believe in everyone no matter what 4. I dont have my life together, but im working on it 5. I see myself trying to go to college soon! 6. I love music as a whole 7. I have 2 brothers and a sister I have never met 8. I love to help others 9. I believe in the good in everyone 10. I know I am not perfect, but im ok with that! You dont have to share 10, but I hope you can share at least one thing about yourself!
1) I've had fractures in my body 6 times: twice the right wrist, twice the left, once the left thumb, once the right ankle.
2) In 27 years of my existence, I've moved moved houses 13 times, this is the 14th house I'm living in.
3) I have a pretty decent library, and I'm particular about my books. I like to arrange them according to genres and favorite authors i.e., my favourite genres on the top shelf, with books by my favourite authors in the genre grouped together.
4) I have a chronic liver condition despite never having tasted alcohol.
5) I love listening to all kinds of music, except Caribbean music.
6) I detest shopping for clothes.
7) I am obsessed with everything from Spain. I'd like to live there someday! I've been trying to learn Spanish, but haven't progressed beyond some basic words/phrases. :P
8) Phoebe Buffay is my soulmate.
9) I love dogs! I haven't had a dog companion (I don't like the word 'pet) for more than 10 years, but when I was a teenager, I looked after five generations of a dog family. I have so many bittersweet/beautiful stories to tell about those canine friends.
10) I'd probably never get a tattoo (I think I'm too fickle), but if I do, it will certainly incorporate an old-fashioned movie camera, an owl, notes of music, greek script, a lighthouse, and a black panther.
Hmmm.. interesting concept.. 10 truths

I am a magnet for natural disasters having been caught up in floods, a tornado decided to go over our family home that I was in when I was 7; and have lived through more than 15,000 earthquakes, including a number of...ahem...very large ones (see psychological first aid course.. one of them in pictured!)
2. My body is held together with duct tape and crazy glue due to rugby and downhill mountain biking.. as in literally (broken 3 toes, torn both achilles, both knees; disc injury in my neck; broke right elbow, dislocated right thumb numerous times; dislocated left shoulder; broken both wrists, have broken four fingers; broken right shoulder; four concussions).

10."People get lost when they think of happiness as a destination. We're always thinking that some day we'll be happy. We will get that car or that job or that person in our lives that will fix everything. But happiness is a mood. And it's a condition not a destination. It's like being tired or hungry. It's not permanent. It comes and goes and that's okay. And I feel like if people thought of it that way, they'd find happiness more often." One Tree Hill (favorite Quote)

Busy year for me.

3. I have a library in my apartment and over 400 books. It's kind of a big deal to me.

Not being American. What are Philly Cheesesteaks, @Cadence?
Philly Cheesesteaks are sandwiches made with super thin beef pieces and smothered with cheese, onions and pretty much anything else you'd like them to have.
Here's a picture:https://blogs.ocweekly.com/stickaforkinit/Cheesesteak_Image.jpg
For some reason, it's not letting me put a link into it. But alas, look at the true beauty! They're amazing.
What are some foods you enjoy, @Roadie ?
@Cadence. Hmmm.. not so keen on that but if it was in front of me, I would wolf it down happily :)
