A.H. Amin has been so kind as to nominate me for yet another blog award. He has a wonderful blog, is a talented writer and always gives me the best advise. I would like to nominate him in return, but that goes against the rules I suppose. Speaking of which…
The rules:
-
When you receive the award, you post 11 random facts about yourself and answer the 11 questions asked by the person who nominated you.
-
Pass the award onto 11 other blogs (while making sure you notify the blogger that you nominated them!)
-
You write up 11 NEW questions directed towards YOUR nominees.
-
You are not allowed to nominate the blog who nominated your own blog!
-
You paste the award picture into your blog. (You can Google the image, there are plenty of them!)
So as you can see, today you’ll learn 22 things about me, have fun everyone:-
11 Random Facts about me, Jordan:
- I didn’t finish high school. Although I’m in love with learning and crave knowledge nowadays, high school was not the environment where I was able to succeed in such. I couldn’t concentrate, I never fit in, and spent most of my time day dreaming. I eventually took my GED in 2009.
- I have BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder). I have extreme difficulty regulating my emotions and suffer from intense anger, chaotic relationships, impulsivity, unstable sense of self, suicide attempts/thoughts, self-harm, shame, fears of abandonment, and chronic feelings of emptiness. And patterns of unstable and intense interpersonal relationships characterized by alternating between extremes of idealization and devaluation. People don’t understand it which makes it very difficult to have healthy relationships. But in the past could of years I’ve been able to cut out a couple of the worst symptoms, which I am proud of. Hopefully someday I can live free of BPD.
- I love to read, but have a difficulty being able to get into a book. One of my favorite feelings is diving into a good book as if entering another world. But find it fairly hard to be swept away. I’ve had this experience only a few times in my life so far. I hope to find another good book very soon.
- I’m completely addicted to coffee. I cannot begin my life in the morning without a cup of coffee in hand. If I try, I will be met with an awful headache, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, and cold sweats. Can anyone say, “intervention…?”.
- Before I had my daughter, Rayne, I did not want children. I don’t particularly like children. I mean, they’re cute but to be honest they make me uncomfortable. Good thing I love my own.
- I’m afraid of slides. Yes, slides. I always remember going down the slides when I was little and being shocked (literally shocked, not as in surprised). I developed a fear of it and still can’t get myself down one.
- Sometimes I feel like I’m like the ocean. Tide in, tide out. Waving and smashing against cliffs. Always swirling and changing. Never constant, always back and forth. In other words, I’m wishy-washy. Never settled.
- All I want out of life is to say I’ve done good deeds for people in the world, raised a wonderful human being who’ll do good for people, I’ve lived to my potential, and have a cozy cabin on a nice piece of land where I can find some peace from the world.
- I can’t stand the thought of weddings. I just don’t like them. I don’t want to go to one and I can’t see myself having one. The whole sentimental-emotional-everyone watching thing is just uncomfortable.
- I don’t know what I’m going to do with my life. Not a clue. I would like to start school. But haven’t yet. I would like to have a career that I love. I couldn’t imagine wasting my life living pay check to pay check, doing something I hate. But, I have yet to find my true calling.
- I suppose I’m a contradiction. I’m a rock n roll, punk rock, fight the system kinda gal. But I’m also a devoted Christian, pro-life, domestic to a fault, and obsessed with being a wonderful, uplifting, loving mother and human being.
Questions from A.H. Amin:
1- If they make a movie about you, who would you want to play your character?
Well, I’m in love with Jessica Lange, but she’s a little too old to play me. Everyone says I look like Liv Tyler and Anne Hathaway, so I suppose one of them.
2- Have you ever had the same dream or same scenario in a dream? If yes, what’s the dream?
I always dream my Mom’s ex or my ex is trying to kill me and Rayne. It’s very scary.
3- What are three things you mostly enjoy doing everyday?
That first cup of coffee while sitting with my feet up in the sunny window sill. Being surprised and overjoyed by how smart, awesome and hilarious my daughter is. And laughing hysterically with my sisters about anything and everything.
4- If you only have one year to live… what will you do?
Whatever the hell I want! And I’d try to also do a lot of other people, as giving is the best kind of getting.
5- What will you call your first child, and if you already have one, what will you suggest your grandchild’s name would be?
Hmm….I never really thought of what I’d prefer a grandchild to be called. I’m too young to think of such things! Besides, I don’t really care what they’re called. She could name her child Flowerface Rainbowbutt and I’d still love it.
6- Have you ever had a life changing moment? If yes, care to share that moment?
When I had my daughter, as cheesy as it sounds. But the moment you hold your baby for the first time, everything is different. You’re not the you you were moments before.
7- If you got to re-live your life from start, what will you change?
I would focus on my education and work my butt off to graduate properly and earn a degree. Everything else I’d leave the same even though the majority of it was terrible. Because it made me who I am.
8- You are someone who just discovered a planet, what will you name that planet?
Hmm, I suppose it would depend of the size of it and what the planet looked like. Maybe ‘Coolsville’.
9- Did something unexplainable or impossible have ever happened to you? What was that thing?
Not something directly to me that I can think of right now. But to my Mother. Once she was at a stop light want upon it turning green her car stalled, it wouldn’t drive. Suddenly a big truck goes racing through the intersection. If her car wouldn’t have stalled she would have been hit.
10- You just had a middle life crisis… what do you think you’ll be doing then?
As in to fix it? Well, I’d assume something wasn’t right in my life and try to change it. Take up a hobby doing something I love, vacation, new job, etc.
11- You walk into a book even and suddenly, you see me… what will you say to me?
“Well, Hello!” 🙂
