Honestly?

I first received this award back in Jan., and rarely do I do these these things twice. But, I've been nominated for it three more times in the last couple of weeks so I decided to give it another go. Thank you Ceecee, Stone Bridge Farm, and Michelle for thinking of me! :)

So, here are 10 honest things about myself:

1. I am a music junkie, I listen daily. I like all kinds and love to be introduced to new sounds and styles. I do hate country though.....feels a bit like confession...."Hi, my name is Angie, and I'm a country girl who hates country music...please forgive me." But, if you send it to me, I will listen......or try to anyway, I make no promises.

2. I have very strong views on politics and religion, but I will never share them here.

3. Very rarely do I take anything too seriously....especially myself.

4. There isn't much that a person can do to offend me....or surprise me for that matter. Although people have been known to disappoint me....but I rarely hold a grudge!

5. I'm a casual dresser at best....some days I don't get "dressed" at all.....pjs rock! :)

6. I've got two hairstyles in my repertoire, down or in a ponytail. Luckily, I can make my hair wavy, curly or straight without much work, or I'd be pretty boring indeed!

7. I can be shockingly blunt, always have been. Although my poor, easily embarrassed mother says I'm getting worse with age. I fully expect to be like Maxine from the shoebox greeting cards in due course. Hey, we all need goals.

8. I'm a serious anglophile. I have a particular passion for classic English writers and literature, but there is much about the British culture, past and present, that I find intriguing. I also have a particular weakness for English actors...everything sounds sexier with that accent, what can I say? ;)

9. I find myself rather boring. Whenever anyone shows too much interest (which is any interest, really) my first reaction is "Why?!" Did I mention I can be overly suspicious?

10. I don't like pushy people. I like to march to my own drummer and take things at my own pace. Get pushy and impatient with me and you get nowhere fast. I'll either clam up or shut you down. Interestingly enough, my daughter has the very same characteristic....must be my penance because boy is THAT annoying!! ;)

Since I already passed this on back in Jan., I won't do it again now. But if you're interested, please feel free to play along, I always love learning more about my fellow bloggers.
