I literally just took this, and this post is a day late already. I got a little caught up in my family history yesterday spending 6 hours fiddling around with the family search website. I decided I wanted to add one of the most important possessions I own. That old teddy bear I've had since I was 11 days old. He's been with me through some of my most important moments in my life, sad, happy, sick, healthy, kinda like an awesome husband only no one can replace Mike. He produces heat and is well, living. Having that teddy in this picture helps show how loyal I am. Sure I've lost him once in a while, but I always find him again. I treat my really good and close friends the same way. Even if we get lost, we'll find each other again.
On to the facts about me. So here we go.
Fact 1. I am Chinese.
Well to be clear, I'm 1/8 Chinese. I may have to take a picture of the picture we have of my great, great, great grandfather and post it up here. I think it comes from my grandmothers family whose mother came from a Chinese mother. If this is wrong I'll totally correct when I start looking on her side of the family. Either way when I came into the world looking a bit yellow, I scared the doctors and they had me tested for Liver problems. Turns out, they didn't expect me to look a little Asian.
Fact 2. I write Fan Fiction.
Yup, I started about 3 years ago. I can't express how much my overall writing has progressed, let alone my story plotting. I created most of my characters based on a game I play called City of Hero's. Only recently have I begun to create characters that are able to stand outside of the City of Hero's world. Maybe one day I'll write a book, in the mean time practice is fun. I'll even share a post I made to a forum. The piece is titled "Dream Safe." for my favorite character Ashlyn.
'I do this all the time. It's important. The guiding of the pencil upon the pad of paper, the soft scratching noise as the lead adds shades of gray to bring about an image. I've been doing this for a while. Feeling the smile upon my face as I completed the drawing. This one I found to be really interesting. I think I will find very interesting things in this school.
I had to record this, he was doing it before I even started to do anything, but I watched anyways. Sometimes its just nice to watch and be unnoticed. I won't lie, it was kinda gross but sometimes, that how they are. Rummaging in and organ fridge replacing his parts. It was interesting, because he looked normal but he really wasn't.
My finger tips trace the edge of the paper as I inspect the art work. Blood, metal, organs and he was in action of replacing it. It worked enough for me. So I couldn't forget and now I could recreate it for him. If I wanted to. Maybe I will. See what he does when he finishes instead of getting knocked out by me.
Upon knee I lean over to peer under the desk I am at. There it is. My little safe. Holding two pieces of art work I put them upon the safe. Pulling on the sides I pull it out. It's beige sides greet me as the lights in the room meet it. I pull out the key from a drawer and open the safe. I pull out the two other papers and place them all side by side.
The first is my favorite. It is long and really tells the story well. A small chest, with strange markings on it opened. I used red for that one, for the orb that was found was glowing red. The walls were neat as well, Old hooded mages carved into it. I helped her sleep. She wasn't sleeping well. I put the Art back into the safe.
The second, an open field. With long prairie grass and floating fuzzy seeds all about. In the center and man dressed in white, in the lotus position taking the beautiful view in. He knew. He knew right away it was me. I don't fully trust him. No nobody just knows. That's not how it works. I think now there is more to him then he realizes. He thought it was another world. I'll let him think that. I'm not ready to tell everyone.
The third, was really simple. A hand holding a chain that was coming out of a chest. Switching places with the organ art, now they were in order. I pile them and put them into the safe. Closing it and locking it I slide it back under the desk. I return the key to the drawer.
I'm tired, I need some sleep. I can't sleep alone.. So I get up and start to look for someone who is sleeping.'
Fact 3. I like Old Things
From old cartoons, like Transformers and She-ra, to Old appliances, like the 1950's GE Toaster I'm trying to fix or the 3 1970's or older sewing machines I have, I just cannot get enough of them. Nothing thrills me more then to walk into some grandparents house and see all the little antique's decorating the place. Porcelain dolls, old tools, old toys and all sorts. It's what made Santa Baby such fun to work on, they had some REALLY old stuff there and it was amazing. I think the oldest thing I own was given to me from my dad, it's an old hymn book in French published in 1918 (I think). From what I can tell it belonged to a Albert Bascher, and my dad found it somewhere. You can't read the front but the inside pages are just fine.
Or the oldest thing I have is this hat, made when you had to go to a hat store and they made you a hat just for your head, no tags at all on the inside. If I remember right this one was ordered and made in Edmonton? Still has it's personal Hat box too! Made from mink, and it has this lovely place for your hair bun so it wouldn't ruin it.
Fact 4. I'm in the Movies!
Not that it's really a big deal, I'm not with any actual lines or anything. Just a happy background grunt to help fill the scene for the Director so things look busy. I have however gotten the great chance to meet some pretty famous people, in which I'm thankful I'm not someone who really cares about Celebrity Gossip, otherwise I think I would have been far more starstruck. Which would have led to a far more embrasing moment, in stead I watched this one background extra force herself to squeeze behind Tori Spelling, her two kids and Dean McDermott watched as this girl almost spilled her lunch all over the three, just so she could sit beside them.
Here's the list of some the Flicks I've been an Extra for, since I don't remember them all.
Touch the Top of the World
Resurrecting the Champ
Santa Baby
Santa Baby 2
Fact 5. I Game.
That's right, Game on! I'm a PC gamer, I do play Xbox some times. This apparently was one of the deciding factors of why Mike decided to marry me. Which helps because he games too, only he games everything. Including board games. Which I find neat, but not really my thing, but I'm happily able to go let him play games til the late hours of the night. I understand the Gaming mind.
Fact 6. I'm a Hunters Daughter.
Hmmmmm deer meat... I also can skin a deer, I've taught boyfriends of my past how to do this, I help my dad butcher his animals and I love it. I've never actually killed anything but I've gone out with my dad and they are some of my favorite memories of all time. One of my best birthdays I spent out at my dad's house cutting up a deer.
Fact 7. I love Costumes, Especially Making Them.
Cosplay is something I would totally get into if I had more friends into, so I settle for Halloween. I will admit I'm a bit selfish and I typically only make costumes for myself. Mainly because I'm not that awesome at making something that would last (mainly because I don't own a machine that works properly right now), but it certainly looks cool!
Fact 8. Animals are awesome, All of them.
Despite my Allergy to the fuzzy ones, I love them. This is part of the reason I use to own two cat's (which I'm slightly more allergic to then dogs). I've always wanted to learn out to ride Horses, or to be a Vet. So when I discovered that hey, these things make me sick I was heart broke.
I could animal watch all day. Which means, trips to the zoo are definitely all day ones for me. One of my most desirable places to go are on the sole purpose of the animal life I would see.
Fact 9. Blessed with Kid Magnetism.
This one is pretty self explanatory. All my life, little kids seem to eventually flock towards me (even if they are a little shy at first). I like it, it's fun. Nothing like running around with a bunch of kids playing. Seeing them smile, it's good times. As a result I often spent more of my time with kids then socializing with the adults, even as an adult. I'm trying to work it so I actually spend some time getting to know the parents, instead of focusing on the kids. I'm going to have my own to give all my attention to soon, looking very forward to it.
Fact 10. I'm a Convert!
This one is interesting mainly because of my Pagan history. Plus if I didn't find it interesting I'd never talk about the fact that I'm a convert to the LDS Church. If I didn't do that, I know of two people who wouldn't have join at the time they did. That makes me warm and fuzzy on the inside.
Fact 11. I like Shoes....
Not that this is a surprise, I am a girl after all. However this is one of those things that's happened to me in the past 2 or 3 years. Before I got married I had 120 pairs of shoes, I thought I had 50 until I counted and made that discovery. (I have since then cut back my shoe collection, I should probably count to see what the number is now) I blame the Shoe Calendar my mom started to get me.
Fact 12. I play the Flute.
This one time at band camp.... Well not like that. I spent 7 years in band. Four of which spent in the Cochrane High School Concert band. Which I wanted to be part of the moment I saw them play at my elementary school. I miss playing in a band, and playing solo is a little scary for me. I am a group player.
I wanted to play the flute since I was very little. I even asked for one for Christmas, which ended up with me getting a recorder. Once I made that discovery I was a little urked. I even have a small collection of Wooden flutes that I play randomly for fun. Don't ask me to actually play something on them, I just move my fingers and enjoy the sounds that come out as a result.
Fact 13. Fresh Fruit only!
Yes that's right. I don't eat cooked fruits, dried fruits, canned fruits, frozen fruits. It's something that started when I was little and still sticks with me to this day. It makes me gag, so I'm weird. Oh well. I'll occansionly do some jam, but very.. very thin on toast. Give it to me raw, untainted and yummy! It's the best way anyways.
Fact 14. Melt my Heart with Big Sad Eyes.
Weakness number one. If it has big sad eyes on it I feel very sad for it. They are just so BIG and SAD! Like that Ikea mocha creamer commercial? Like this one?
I felt SOOO bad for the creamer, and then the Ikea guy came out and I wanted to hurt him, badly.
Fact 15. This was really freaking hard.
Nuff said.
Nuff said.
