Not really, but it’s really hard to categorize me.
During a job interview, someone asked me, “What are three words your friends
would use to describe you.” Yah, let’s just say I didn’t really get a call back
on that one.
So when people start a blog others wonder why/who
cares what this random person is doing with her life out of the billions of
other humans in the world including Lindsay Lohan, Justin Bieber, and Rachael
Ray (well this is a food/fitness blog so I figured I’d include a food star). I’m
not Lindsay. But, considering how much I enjoy writing, people seemed to think
it was odd that I didn’t yet have a blog since I like to submit articles to all
my local newspapers (just hit 7 published!!!) and really enjoy yelping. And, I
like to bake quite frequently as our neighbors would tell you. So I figured why
not just document my cooking and baking? Even the failures. I really enjoy
reading other blogs and making recipes. However, when I’m too hungry to hit the
supermarket, I whip up my own little “concoctions.” This may mean some
ingredient substitutions. These concoctions either turn out as the best thing I
have ever made or completely inedible. Which is nice because I either have a
super yummy new recipe that I end up replicating for about a month in a row or I
brush off my hands and start anew.
These recipes seem to be metaphorical to my life.
This year has brought the highest of highs and lowest of lows. So along with
delicious recipes and fun fitness, I might just have to throw in a few crazy
stories. So, as you can see, it’s difficult to categorize me. I study hard and
allow academics to overwhelm me at times—but enjoy both intelligence based and
performance activities. I am an ex-debater/current Model UNer (yep one of those
talky people), but I also am an ex-gymnast, pageant chick (Yes, world peace
would be nice), and a Turbokick obsessed fitness girl. The past year of my life
has brought new challenges and yummy recipes and foods to go along with them.
It’s difficult to know which point people would pick out to categorize me. But,
what I know is true, is that a lot of people pick out the healthy eater portion.
Vegetarian for 11 years—my mother would say this is an indication of my
determination and willpower. But, unlike many, I love veggies and fruits. There
are 0 veggies I dislike. Yep, you read that correctly. I don’t just like
veggies, I LOVE them. Sometimes, surprisingly, this can get me in a little
trouble.
So this blog will be full of concoctions—veggie and
otherwise. It will be full of new food products—taste tests shall we call them.
It will be full of fun fitness. And possibly realizations or stories—but not too
much of the deep stuff.
So, that is a sufficient summary. I like putting
the pen to paper or, in this new tech age, the keyboard to computer screen…yah
maybe not exactly analogous. Anyway, that’s ME!
