We Want to Know Wednesday: Week 56

1. What is most the most challenging aspect of your blog content development process and why?
It's been a challenge for me to talk about Sheila or my closest friends on my blog, because it's difficult to accurately describe exactly what they've meant to me without it turning into a novel.

2. When you were a kid were you allowed to have a sleepover with friends of the opposite sex involved?
No, I think that would have been inappropriate.

3. If you were elected as the leader of your country what is one thing that you'd want to change?
I wouldn't spend as much money to deal with problems in other countries. I realize that it's obviously important to be aware of what's happening in the world, but I feel like the main focus should be on addressing the problems that exist in this country.


4. Have you ever peeked into the opposite sexes locker room?
No, I'm not that type of person and I don't think that would go over very well anyway.

We Want to Know Wednesday: Halloween Edition

3. Have you ever watched a scary Halloween movie?
I haven't and I don't know if I could handle a scary movie. It's easy to frighten me.

4. Do you think that there should be a law against celebrating Halloween?
I can understand why some people might have a problem with celebrating Halloween, but I had a lot of fun trick-or-treating with my sister when we were kids and I don't think there should be a law against celebrating Halloween if people choose to do that.

To not apologize for being me. If some people don't like my blog's design or some of my blog posts that's absolutely fine and I'm not worrying about it.

People Who Have Inspired Me: Camie

Camie is probably the most underrated friend that I've ever had.  Growing up I developed a crush on a few of my other female friends and so I probably didn't pay as much attention to my friendship with Camie as I'd intended to. However, I've always thought that Camie is an incredible person and I remember being excited when I realized that she wanted to be my friend. Quite a few of the most memorable moments that I've had in my life have been associated with spending time with Camie.

Camie's been a very kind, caring, and thoughtful person for as long as I can remember. She usually can find a way to make me laugh or cheer me up when I'm having a bad day or am in a bad mood.  Camie has also been a supportive friend to me.  I appreciate that I still feel comfortable with telling her anything I want to or need to about my life. I hope that I've been one of her closest friends and that I've helped her when she's needed me to.

Camie continues to be an extraordinary person and I'm grateful that I've been able to get back in touch with her.  I hope that we will be able to stay in touch and that we can continue to have some memorable moments together in the future.  I certainly do appreciate all that Camie has done to help me that has made life easier for me since we were kids and I would hope that our friendship has benefited her as well.
