     So what do I like to do? I’m obsessed with rocks so anything to do with the outdoors is fine by me. I live for dances. However, if you go with me, you’ve got to dance because I’m not there for your entertainment (pet peeve: when people just stand around at a dance). I adore reading; if you make me a book list, I’ll love you forever. For the most part I like running—mostly because it gets me out of the house and doing something productive. And of course, I love ballet.
     Will I ever get tired of dancing? I seriously doubt it. My heart is hopelessly devoted to it. I still have those days, when I wake up and say to myself, are you crazy? But no matter what, I’ll keep dancing, even if the only stage left is my kitchen. Sometimes people will debate whether dance is a sport or an art? What’s my answer? Both! Dance requires “speed, power, balance, and endurance—all those things that define the athlete. But then there are grace, beauty, form, emotion, and the power of communication. There is art.” See? The experts agree with me.
     Speaking of art, I love that too. I’ve loved art long, but wasn’t aware of my talent until I began writing in cursive (3rd grade). My quiet pride in my good handwriting led me to other great heights, such as….drawing! For a long time I would just doodle at home and stash my artwork under my bed. Now I like doing all kinds of art (esp. oil painting)! I have very few talents to boast of—so excuse me, it won’t happen again.
     I enjoy doing really spontaneous things—like, rollerblading at midnight, getting Crispy Fish Tacos from Del Taco, making tater tots, dancing in front of the window, rock-hunting, eating at the hospital…. I also have some random goals. I’ve always wanted to learn to knit a pair of socks, make pineapple upside-down cake, catch a fish, learn to dive properly, cross the Mississippi River, cut down a tree.....
