Ten Things About Me

It is Day Five at Kickin' it Old Skool blog-a-thon, and today's prompt has us tell ten things about ourselves.

I have to admit that this is pretty hard for me to do, and hence the late posting today. Anyway, here goes:

1. My earliest childhood memories are of playing with my brother in the back of my parents' Chinese hand laundry
2. One guilty pleasure of mine: classic movie musicals.
3. I'm mostly a tea drinker, but I love coffee and indulge occasionally.
4. About ten years ago I began my love affair with dancing Argentine Tango, and I only have five pairs of dancing shoes, two of them in red.
5. It's hard to see my pupils because my eyes are a very dark brown, but when you can see them my pupils are tiny. Red-eye in photos is never a problem for me.
6. I love being at the beach, and any photos of me at a coastline show me at my most blissful.
7. I almost gave up playing violin, but being in a rock band saved me.
8. Knitting became a part of my life three years ago, and my hand-knit tea cozies, gloves, hats, sweaters and scarves continue to find their way into the lives of my family and friends.
9. I am an adventurous eater and love trying new foods and finding deliciousness from cultures of the world.
10. I am an introvert and I love performing.

Now, for my teensy bit of writing each day in December, a note to myself based on two words on my dreamboard:

NEVER HIDE.
You are what you are, and that is enough.
Creation, flowers and fruit, potential.
