This one is courtesy of Wacky Mommy. The idea was ten scillintating things about me that my family and/or friends and/or cat doesn't know about me - I'm extending it to thirteen.
This is easier said than done - I'm a pretty open person and there's not much that most people who know me don't know!!!
Here goes:
1. A One Woman Army - while some of my friends have had the privilege of knowing this blog, my family does not know. There is a safety and security in having a space to write and a place of one's own.
2. My cat doesn't know that I'm thinking and wishing of getting her a friend to keep her company - and I doubt she'd be all that pleased with the idea.
3. How much I actually do love being naked - in my own comfort zone and space. Nudity is a hard thing to get comfortable with - and sure, as a feminist, I can say that we should all learn to be comfortable in and with our own bodies and not care about society around us. I love being naked, I love wearing bikini's - in my own comfort space and privacy and without the glare of anybody on me.
4. My family would probably disapprove to know that I would be completely happy I think working a minimum-paying job for the rest of life and living on a tight tight tight tight budget if it meant I got to work with feminist ideals and principles every day of my life.
5. Also that I really don't care that much that I've taken 4 years to do my master's so far and its still progressing (2.5 x longer than its supposed to take).
6. My brother does not know that as a kid I continuously snuck into his room to pilfer coins from his piggy bank.
7. I read PostSecret and like to imagine the various postcards were written by me, to me, are someone I know. I can be way too empathetic at times.
8. I secretly fear that I will never be able to have children simply because I want them so much.
9. I also fear that I will never be able to get a job that I really love - or even one that I don't love.
10. I secretly like scary movies.
11. If I weren't living in a district with an amazing NDP candidate (Lorraine Michael); I might actually have considered voting Conservative in the next provincial election - I think Danny Williams is doing an amazing job standing up for Newfoundland and Labrador!!!
12. I watch home movies of my mother and secretly still don't forgive myself for our fight.
13. Loving having secrets and still won't share certain ones.
