Se7en Facts:

Every time I come to this section for an award post I go through the same thing…

Seriously, I spend more time trying to figure out what to write about myself then I think it would take for me to achieve world peace. So seven things about myself, that I haven’t already written…

1) The most recent addition to my bucket list is to travel to the Iwama dojo in Japan. It’s essentially the mecca for aikido.

2) My Celtic zodiac is the Falcon, and my tree is the Elder tree.

3) If I were to ever marry I would want a torc instead of a ring.

4) I can remember the first time my dad sat me down and showed me how to color inside of the lines. It was a coloring book for Peter Cotton Tail.

I don’t remember much about the page, except that the mommy bunny was there. I remember that because my dad colored her dress blue. It was the first time that I realized lines were important.

That was when I also realized that the absence of color was just as import as color itself. The reason the bunny’s apron was white wasn’t because we used a white crayon, it was because we didn’t color it at all, so it stood out against the blue.

5) The reason I got into computers was because my dad ended up bringing one home for work while he was stationed in Georgia. My mind was completely blown that the computer knew how to shuffle cards without using hands…

6) For me, aside from physical touch, the greatest sign of affection is cooking. By cooking a meal for someone I am expressing my wish for them to be sustained and nourished. Most people I cook for don’t know it’s such a meaningful act for me. Welcome to the secret world of INFJs. Everything is deep.

7) One of my hobbies is making maille. One day I will make a full shirt. >:3
