"What are we? Well we are but two hands to give service; two feet to forge our own path, and a heart to give to whomever we choose. We are masters of our own destiny, and who we are is the sum of whatever we choose to do with what we're given."
I came to realization today that I never gave myself much of an introduction, I sort of just launched right into the whole "blogging" thing. That being said, I've decided to give this whole "tell us about yourself" thing a try.
Like many people, I have two hands, two feet and one heart. Aside from a condition called Congenital Mirror Syndrome (Youtube it, it isn't bad) I'm quite normal--perhaps I even balance upon the precipice of being boring. In high school I was the quiet girl, I spent most of my time in the art room. I think most people thought I was either shy or stuck up. Really I'm just shy. In college I'm much the same. I keep good grades, I made it on the Dean's list, and I stay out of trouble. I have my small group of friends and my family that I love very much. Outside of the classroom I'm a Pawnbroker, a big sister and a girlfriend. Oh but I am much more than that.
I am an artist. I love to paint and draw. I also spend many late evenings writing. I have two novels going, with another three swirling around my brain. I may never get published, but I love it all the same. On top of all that, I'm very opinionated--I just don't say half of what I'm thinking.
That is why I started this blog, to give people a glimpse into my mind. I don't express myself well when talking to others, which is why I prefer to draw or write. So enjoy, give me some feedback.
My name is not Lola, as many of you know. But I was given it affectionately by a coworker who said I reminded him of the spunky and tomboyish Lola Bunny, and I decided that I liked it (believe me, it is much better than some of my other nicknames. ;) ). I am a happy member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and my greatest goal is to one day be married in the temple. My favorite color is purple, and I hate pink. I have a slight milk allergy and I have a strange addiction to pumpkin seeds. I am part-way through earning my bachelor's degree in History with a teaching emphasis. I intend to get a job in secondary education at a high school level once I graduate. I think history is one of the greatest subjects that can be taught, for:
"Those who cannot remember their past are condemned to repeat it." -George Santayana
Students must understand the mistakes of the past, because they are the future.
But getting off of my soapbox now...I also have a wonderful boyfriend, and a family that I adore. Hm...haha I'm running out of things to say.
I locked my keys in my car today. That's the kind of person I am. I can be quite scatterbrained...just as you can see this post is going in all sorts of weird directions. Thankfully I have people who love me and saved the day.
I find talking about myself to be quite boring. So until I have something more interesting to say, au revoir.
This is my road. Lola
