Five Things

Okay, so my friend Scott posted on his blog "Five Things You Don't Know About Me" and I was disappointed because, I knew all five facts about him. Realistically, I know that the chances of all five facts being new to everyone you talk to is slim. But, let's see how I do:

1. After having taken a 5 week course, I now know that I'm definitely not passionate about watercolours. I have a real hard time doing art in colour - I made fun of Sarah for years for being colour blind and I guess it's backfired because I suck at mixing and using colours. Karma.

2. I love this time of the year...Christmas is my absolute favorite! I put a lot of thought into my gift giving and I get SUPER excited when I think I've found a great gift for someone. Like Qortnee's gift this year - I wish I could be there when she opens it!

3. I'm thinking about buying a house or possibly even building one. I love my apartment, but I want a place that's mine, a place that is totally my own where I don't have to listen to the annoying people upstairs. Also, recently and only because of conversations with a good friend of mine, I really want a tin roof on part of my house. My ideal...a sunroom with a cozy daybed with a tin roof so, on raining days I can relax with a good book curled up on the daybed listening to the rain.

4. I love to fly on planes, but I hate flights. Yes, I know that doesn't make sense. I love flying - it's my favorite way of travel. It really scares some people, but I love just getting into a plane and knowing that someone else is getting me to my destination and I can sleep to pass the time. But, I hate being on planes...and I'm sure everyone does. They're uncomfortable and sometimes flights seem to take forever. Like next month, I'm going to Edmonton...Excited to be travelling to Alberta for work, not excited to be on a plane for such a long period of time. Maybe that's because I often travel by myself and rarely with people who could make the time go much faster.

5. I often consider going back to school. I have had a goal to start my masters before I turn 35, which is plenty of time. And frankly, I don't think I'm ready for my masters yet. I honestly doubt whether or not I'm intelligent enough to be writing a thesis. Doubting my own intelligence is common for me. I'd prefer to have a few life years under my belt before I started this degree. I have always thought that my masters was the next logical progression in my education. But, I now think that I really want to look into some form of museum/conservation studies. Aspects of my current job truly fasinate me. Then again, I did seriously think about computer school today too.

Okay...five things. Is any of it new?
