28 things - thing 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27


I actually probably hate the word more. Yuck!!

19. I play the drums...on a sparkly purple drum set. I'll show you a photo one day.

20. I often don't buy things because I think to myself "I could make that". Whether or not I end up actually making it is another story.

21. I have two large puppets. Their names are Ricky and Lucy. Sometimes I think I am really funny and I make them do silly things like pick their noses.

22. With a lot of things I am either a perfectionist or a total disaster. There is kind of no middle ground.

23. I am a 'jack of all trades', I sometimes wish that I had one thing I am really good at.

24. I would love to be in a sitcom. I think I should be the new Michael Scott on the office. Only problem is...I am not a good actor.

Mine is the purple one. Ivan and I got these toothbrushes on the exact same day.

26. I can play the trumpet. I learned in high school and about a year ago we bought a used one. I'm not as good as I used to be but it's still fun!

27, I'm sure I have mentioned this before, but I'm a total hoarder. The new part is that I have a plan to make my hoarded items more organized so that I can call them collections. Good plan?

eep! only one thing left to share tomorrow!

    The "I could make that" is something I can relate to, but I usually don't make it afterwards, which is a bit sad actually.

    Your toothbrush comparison is awesome ^^

    Hahaha did you name them Ricky & Lucy after Trailer Park Boys (that was my first thought)

    As for the toothbrush... Jackson & I are the same, except reversed. I've always been a gentle brusher due to mouth pain from braces!

    Yay for being a jack of all trades. I wish I had one good talent too.

    I definitely do the same thing about not buying things because I know I could make them. Though I almost never do!

    And I am totally rough on my toothbrush too! I like to call it being thorough about my dental hygiene.

    Also, I feel like most crafters are hoarders at least a little bit. I'm going to school to be an art teacher, so I hoard EVERYTHING with the thought that little bits of string might be used for a future art project for my students. It's a slippery slope!

    kaylah! ya!! i'm so excited!!

    becky, yes it is a slippery slope, haha.

    20. I often don't buy things because I think to myself "I could make that". Whether or not I end up actually making it is another story.

    I do this all the time! Whenever I'm out with my bf I say this and he goes "BUT YOU WON'T!" lol, either way, if I wanted it bad enough I would.

    Also love the jack-of-all-trades fact. I feel like i'm good at everything but not incredibly awesome at anything. urgh.

    ha ha i think it is funny that you do the same thing to your toothbrush as Paul does to his. i have never seen anyone do this before! i hope you are having a wonderful day!
    much love,

    I also hoard things. I work on it and I work on it but it only gets worse because I keep thrifting. Also, I hate being a jack of all trades, too. I'm a writer/designer/marketing whatever at my job, and I hate it sometimes. Why can't I just be a wizard at sewing and that's all? Jerks.

    Hey Elycia,
    Had to break you some news from Australia.... silverchair have announced their 'indefinate hibernation' with musical careers.

    http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/homeandhosed/playlist/s3227574.htm

    That is a link to an aussie radio station with the ABC who were responsible for their launch into stardom. I've been pretty lucky and have seen them live heaps of time from frogstomp right through to neon ballroom. really cool guys.

    Rock on 'the chair'.
