3 Personality Traits I Am Proud Of

We all have quirks and things about ourselves we do not like or things that we love.

I would have to say my three traits I am proud of are my sense of humor, outgoing nature, and kind heart.

All three seem to get me into trouble in a lot of ways, but I wouldn't change them for anything. There are very few kind-heated people in this world anymore and we need to keep those of us who still have hearts that aren't made of stone.

My sense of humor gets me through life and through most days. I love to make people laugh and that brings me a lot of joy. And of course being outgoing is what gets me the opportunity to get so many friends.

I wouldn't change myself for anyone. I have in my past and that lead to a lot of heartache and pain. So it's me against the world now. Like me as I am or watch me leave.

My Guilty Pleasure(s)

Man, this is a tough one. I would have to say my guilty pleasure would have to be sushi, anime, and Vampire Diaries! HaHa!

Whenever I get a chance, I get sushi and I relish in eating it. It is by far my favorite food.









 Anime is a subject I can talk about all day. Someone mentions the word "anime" and I butt into the conversation!

Could I add music to that list too? Why, yes I can! I have to have music when I study, when I am writing, when I'm bored, when I'm driving....etc, etc. Actually, it's playing right now! My Trapalicious play list is playing in the background while I write. Music gets me through anything.


This is a little bit of my guilty pleasures....

My Earliest Childhood Memory

I have lots of childhood memories, but I have to see the earliest memory for me would be all the times my dad I played "Rainbow Brite" in the woods around my house.

For those of you who don't know Rainbow Brite, it was an 80s cartoon that I was hooked on as a child. My dad always played with my over active imagination and I love every minute of it. Most of my childhood was on video tape.

I recall a home video where I was telling a "ghost story" in my bedroom with the shades drawn and I tried to make it scary, but alas, I was only 3 so the story didn't turn out so horrifying. My mind is a little darker now though!

My childhood was filled with happy memories because I have the best dad ever. I am a Daddy's Girl to the core and I have the tattoo on my left shoulder blade to prove it.

The Meaning Behind My Blog Name

Well as you can already tell...I am a writer. Not a successful one yet, but I'm a writer nonetheless. I got the idea for my blog and my website during a graphic design class I had to take for my former major at Liberty University.

We had to come up with a business name to create a letterhead, envelope, business card, and logo. I was very proud of my name, so it stuck. I am hoping to get this blog off the ground and have more people take a look at it and put my name out there.

So, I hope you keep following and see what comes up next!
