I Am A Horrible Person For Taking Forever To Post This But...

I am a horrible person.
I'm sorry this took about 7 years for me to post, but I've been busy with other things lately and blah.
Just a 'lil warning:
This post is gonna be longer than my list of things I'm supposed to be doing instead of this. xD
BUT HERE GOES.

(clickie on the read more thingy, sorry it's kinda hard to see)

THANKS SO MUCH LEAH FOR NOMINATING ME FOR THE SPOTLIGHT AWARD!!!
You must check out her blog; her posts are all absolutely fantastic and she's real sweet. ^_^

Here are the rules:

• Thank the person who nominated you!
• Take a picture representing one of your talents. It could include a picture of a doll(s), or something that represents your talent you chose.
• Answer the 5 questions below:
• Nominate at least three people that you have NEVER nominated for an award before. No tag backs!!
• Ask them the same five questions I ask you.
• Comment on their blog letting them know that you nominated them.
• Add the pic above on your sidebar or award page thanking the person (or people) who nominated you.

Here are the questions!

1. When did you first begin your talent? 

2. Why do you love to do this? (your talent)

3. Who or what inspired you to begin your talent?

4. Is your talent a performing art, a visual art, or something else?

5. Do you have to practice your talent to improve?

My talent is viola

Aw yeah.

1. I first started playing viola about 3 years ago. In elementary school, I was sitting at a small assembly the school held at the beginning of the year to show all the students each orchestra instrument, and I fell in love with the viola. I didn't end up playing until a little while (years) later.

2. BC IT'S FABULOUS. 

I love the viola's deep, enchanting sound. Always have always will.

3. So a couple years after I had given up begging my parents to let me try out orchestra, Adi had been playing for quite a while before finally pushing me to get off my butt and run screaming into the orchestra room before she attacked me with her bow. 

jk

But it was Adi who inspired me to finally get off my butt and play. xD

4. Performing art

5. Nah, I was a natural from the beginning.

*leans in uncomfortably close to your face*

oh. yeah.

NOW THAT THAT ONE'S FINISHED, GUESS WHAT.

THERE'S MORE!!!!!

*TOSSES CONFETTI*

THANK YOU ADALINE FOR NOMINATING ME FOR THE GRATEFUL BLOGGER TAG. WOOT WOOT.

Rules:

• Thank the person who nominated you, they will surely appreciate it! Also, leave a link back to the person who nominated you.
• Write about ten things you are thankful for. Here is the tricky part though; you can't just say you are grateful for gum or video games or whatever "little" thing it is you want to discuss. Think deeply about what is really really important to you, such as family, or life in it of itself. Explain why you are thankful for those things.
• Tag ten other bloggers; our goal is to tag everyone!! Comment on the blogs you nominate so that they will know that they were tagged!
• Add the pic above to you sidebar or award page thanking the person (or people) who tagged you.

Here goes...

I am thankful for,

1. My crazy family. There are very few people in the world who can put up with and support me for so long, and they have all been by my side the longest.

2. My viola and guitar, two things I had wished what seemed like forever for, and now I am able to practice every day with two beautiful instruments of my own. 

3. My fourth grade teacher. She wasn't a favorite of all her other students, but out of all my teachers, she was my favorite. She pushed me harder than any other teacher; teaching me not only the standard curriculum like all the other teachers, but taught me many things about the real world, inspired me with her unique outlook on the world that I will always admire, and if it weren't for her, I never would have become a writer and there has been so many times she's crossed my mind since I left her class, and every time I wish I could thank her.

4. All my art supplies. I can't even count the times I've wanted to give up on that stupid sketchbook and chuck it out the window. xD But it's brought me far.

5. The ability to do this

6. Food, water, and a warm comfortable home.

7. Our family cat, Bella, who has been around in our family for about 9 years now, and our hamster, Ada, who we just got about two months ago. 

8. All my followers, and the blogging community. Y'all are rad and too sweet. <3

9.  Many fond memories laughing and crying together with friends over the years. ^_^

10. And finally, I'm thankful for all my books with the adventures they bring and the characters and stories I fall in love with. I could never live without the stories I've read throughout the past few years. :)
