Day 04 – What you ate today
It's a good thing I decided to do this AFTER I ate breakfast, because otherwise I wouldn't have anything to write!
For breakfast I had a breakfast cookie (recipe courtesy of my bestest friend, who shall remain nameless for privacy sake.)...it's basically a healthy oatmeal/honey/raisins/wheat flour kind of cookie...aaaaand a orange yogurt.
For lunch, we're going to be having sandwiches. Probably peanut butter and jelly if not an egg sandwich.
And supper...hm...I really have no idea. :P

Day 03 – Your parents
What can I say? I have em. ;)
My family recently had a discussion about which parent we kids were like...and it was decided that I got Mom's looks but Dad's personality.
Dad is the best Dad. Course I'm not biased! He works to support the family (which is no easy task!), he teases me about boys (Apparently, I'm NEVER going to be allowed to marry. That or be sent to the convent with the 50 foot wall for wearing "paint" on my face. Hahahahahahaha!), he loves having me play the piano for him, he loves to beat me at Bananagrams, AND he loves watching Jane Austen! (w00t!) He cares about me and he has fully supported me in my pursuit of photography! :D
Mom is the best Mom. Again, I'm not biased! She works just as hard in teaching, cooking, cleaning, and just being a mom. She trained me in all household chores, she made me practice piano when I didn't feel like it, she taught me most of my school-life, she read books aloud and took me to the library, she loves watching "chick flicks" with my sis and I, she also loves to beat me at Bananagrams, and she loves photography as much as I do! :D
What else do you want to know? They're my parents and I love 'em!

Meme: Day #2.
Day 02 – Your first love
Okay, I really can't remember if I had any huge crushes when I was really little...but I do remember one of my first big crushes. I was ten or eleven when I first read "Anne of Green Gables" and I fell head-over-heels in love with Gilbert Blythe. I thought he was simply the bees knees! He was funny, he sounded like fun, and he was AWFULLY cute in the movies! :P
And that hasn't changed since. I still think Gilbert Blythe is made out of awesome...however, I don't think I'm quite as obsessed with the Anne books as I once was. ;)
I thought Gil would be the perfect "boyfriend" when I was eleven...and who knows, maybe he would be. ;)
As for real-life guys, I didn't have that many crushes growing up, simply because I didn't know that many guys! And I really can't think of any huge ones! All I had were small ones that faded out pretty quickly. lol.

Meme: Day #1.
Day 01 - Introduce yourself
Hello! My name is Sam. Okay, it's Samantha. According to my parents, they had huge hopes that in naming me "Samantha" that I'd turn out to be a good listener (In case you didn't know, "Samantha" means "the Listener".)...they "hoped" so they say. HEY! I AM a good listener! Really! I just talk a lot! :P
I grew up the hugest introvert ever born. I refused to smile for cameras, that's how shy I was. I hated the attention. I stuck to either Mom or Dad's sides whenever we went out. I never talked to ANYONE outside of my family unless I had too. (There were rare cases, such as my Memere or my mom's good friend Beth, who I LOVED to pieces.) It wasn't until I was sixteen and got a job at the public library that I learned to leave my comfort zone and found out that I actually love being an extrovert! I love interacting with people, especially kids, and I love my job. :D So, now, for the majority of the time, I am an extrovert, but I still have my introvert moments. I still need my alone time to re-charge. And I'm not a HUGE party person. I'd rather go hang out with my best friends then go and party. And I love being at home and relaxing. But I also have an adventure-lust. I am dying to travel. To see the world, especially through my camera.
Which brings me to my passions: Photography and Writing. I want to try EVERYTHING in photography...portraits, weddings, children, scenery, flowers...I can skip pets. ;) My biggest dream is to have my own photography business someday. :) As for writing! Well, I started writing at 8 and haven't stopped. I love participating in NaNoWriMo, I completed a 2 year course on writing for teens/kids, and I have yet to be published. Someday I will be. Just you wait and see.
Random facts about moi:
I am the 4th oldest of 11 children. Yes, that's right. Go ahead and gawk. For the most part, I love being a big family...but I have my moments where I've wanted to run away, especially when the noise level reaches impossibly loud pitches. ;)
I work part-time at the library.
I have not gone to college, nor do I plan to at the moment. Perhaps I will someday, but for now, God is not calling me to. I have taken a 2 year course on creative writing and I am currently taking online photography courses.
I am a bit of a neat freak. I can work under messy conditions, but it pains me to do so. I am NOT OCD. :P
I love to laugh, wave at random people, make others laugh, play pranks, be sarcastic, play piano, knit, watch movies, drink coffee ( I LOVE COFFEE.), listen to different accents, and be dramatic.
I hate to drive, eat peas, embarrassing myself by walking into stuff, clothes shopping, debates, being made fun of, back-stabbing people, and messy rooms.
So, that's just a bit of an introduction of moi, but it'll have to do for now. If you want to know anything else, just comment...see the comment button? I looooooove comments. ;)

Randomness
Randomness because I cannot think of anything else to post about at the moment:
~I currently have four silly bandz (one blue, one orange, one purple, one green) and two brown elastics on my wrist.
~I finally labeled all my mix cds...now I know exactly how many blank ones I have left. Gotta get some more soon.
~I looove candy corn.
~I found two bucks in my letter folder! Interesting. Can't remember why on earth they were stashed in there. Hmm...
~Am currently feeling very worried.
~Am in love with Aussie's mousse...but then it's only been a week. I could hate it next week for all I know.
~Photo shoot this coming week. Squee!
~I can smell supper cooking. I'm sooooo hungry.
~I can see my nail polish and how badly chipped it's become. Time to re-do my nails!
~I can hear the church bells ringing out as it just turned 5:00 p.m.
~I can taste...nothing right now.
~I can feel my laptop keys pressing beneath my fingers.
~I got to journal and write two letters today. That made me happy.
~I did not get any letters today. Have not gotten any letters in ages. :'( Sad me. Maybe if I mailed some out...
~My room is a mess after only one night. *sigh*
~I love my Pearls Before Swine calendar. It cracks me up.
~I am slightly bored.
Random fact about moi:
I have an annoying habit of tapping my fingers while watching a movie. This is why I play Spider Solitaire on my laptop when I'm watching a movie alone. Also why knitting was such a big hit with me while watching movies...I've just GOT to do something with my hands! Otherwise I go nuts and start tapping.

The World is Quiet Here
The world is quiet here.
I only wish it were. When you live in a house with so many other people the world can feel so very small...and so not very quiet.
I can't just go in my room, close the door, and recharge.
So I find refuge in music.
I sit in the corner of the livingroom, legs curled up beneath me, laptop on lap...all the while, four little kids yelling at each other as they play a game in the center of the room. One brother playing the piano. The world is definitely not quiet.
I raise my earbuds to my ears, I close my eyes, and let the music wash over my mind. For a little while, I can escape to a place where the world is quiet in some way.
