10 FACTS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT ME | A TAG!
Talking about ourselves is something most bloggers have trouble with. Most of us blog to talk about something, not someone. Especially not ourselves. But I know I personally love getting to know more about my fellow bloggers. More about their personal lives. Their dreams and what they think about at night when they can't sleep. I'm all for the quirky, flawed, human side of people.
A few bloggers did get to know me posts on their blogs or Instagram stories and I couldn't resist doing it myself. It was never an "official" tag (that I hear of, at least), so I decided to make it one. I'm hoping this challenge will help us become closer blogging friends and help us put away our "outside" selves and start being real again.
1.
I hate blood. Like, I really hate it. Whenever I get a cut, I cannot stand to look at it. Veins, organs, cells, all of the above just creep me out.
2.
I often have trouble sleeping, so I write poetry at night. To be honest, my best thinking usually happens after 11:00 PM, so it works out.
3.
I've been home schooled my whole life and love the freedom of it. If I'm extremely interested in rocket science, then I have time to learn about it because I'm not bogged down by homework.
4.
I have two wonderful sisters. You may have known this (as I talk about them frequently), but in case not, now you know. My older sister, Sarah, is 20. And my little sister Grace is 8. So I'm am exactly in the middle of the two at 14.
5.
I see in colors, textures and feelings. When I think about something, I never see words, only images.
6.
I love makeup. I love watching tutorials, trying out different things and working with what I have.
7.
I've moved about 11 times and lived in 4 states. Now I don't ever, ever want to move again. I'm happy where I am.
8.
Theatre is very close to my heart. It would be an absolute dream to act in Broadway one day. I currently participate in a student run theatre near me.
9.
I was born and currently live in New Mexico - The Land Of Enchantment. If you guys are ever out here, email me so I can meet you! I mean, what would be more awesome than that?
10.
I'm super into stretching and do so almost every day. I've never been a dancer before, so I'm not sure why I got into stretching. Would you guys like a post about it?
I tag...

Ooh, I'm really tempted to do this. It's so interesting to learn about other bloggers - beyond the little hints they drop in their writing.
ReplyDeleteI don't think blood makes me feel faint, but first aid videos certainly do. I have never gotten so close to passing out. I am also homeschooled (yay for fellow homeschoolers!) and I love it! Theatre though . . . there's nothing comparable. :D
Fun post! I'm still debating whether to do the tag . . . it may be a little while. Thanks for this opportunity!

You should! I would love to read it. Ugh, I can't stand anything concerning the human body. Yay! Thanks a million for commenting, Brianna! <3
DeleteI love that sunset picture!!! So beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis tag is super cool. I loved getting to know a little more about you! I don't think I'll steal it because I have half a dozen tags I have to do over the next month or so, but I hope I'm tagged for it in the future!
Thank you! Unfortunately it's a stock image, not my own. Thank you! Ahaha, I have the same problem XD
DeleteWonderful 'Get to know me' post, I love hearing about different bloggers, it's kind of funny, we are very similar although, I couldn't go up on stage to perform for anything in the world. :) ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kalea! Me too! Really? I bet you would be great on stage;)
DeleteA post on stretching would be interesting!! I'm a runner, so I probably should know more about stretching but I kind of a little bit don't...
ReplyDeleteOther Runners: You need to stretch before a run! *proceed to bend their body in 400 different directions*
Me: *attempts to touch toes* *fails* Alright, that'll do!
Haha, I didn't even know runners did a lot of stretching. This comment cracked me up. Thanks, Julian.
DeleteThis is such a nice idea/tag. I love getting to know other bloggers, but I totally understand the writing about something and not ourselves. Ahh I was also homeschooled my whole life and love theatre with all my heart. We're basically kindred spirits. XD Great post!
ReplyDeleteEEP, THANK YOU, HANNAH! Me too! Really? Isn't it just the best? Yay! A love meeting other theatre nerd. <3
DeleteOoh, I'm going to have to do this tag. Thanks for *tagging* me. ;) And yeah, homeschool is awesome!
ReplyDeleteD.G. Snapper | silverphoenixwriter.blogspot.com
I can't wait to read it! Haha, sure thing! It's truly the best!
DeleteI relate to 1, 3, and 5! Homeschooling is amazinggg my friend!! 😉
ReplyDelete*highfives* I'm glad I'm not the only one who's afraid of blood. Yes it is!
DeleteThis is such a cool tag!!! I might snatch it. ;) Yesss, homeschooling is awesome. I LOVE getting to read neat facts about other bloggers.
ReplyDeleteYou should totally do it! Mmhhm. Same here:)
DeleteWOW Ella, I enjoyed this post so so so much!!
ReplyDeleteI can really relate to #5, 7 and 8. Also, homeschooling is THE BEST and it’s so cool that you like rocket science!!
Thank you so much for sharing more about yourself, I might have to try this sometime😊
Lydia
AHH, THANK YOU SO MUCH, LYDIA! Oh, so you've moved quite a few times, too? Yes it is! I mostly used that as an example, but it is interesting. If you do, don't forget to tell me because I would LOVE to read it. <3
DeleteYes, we have moved and are in the midst of another now! It’s such a whirlwind and emotional roller coaster sometimes. Thank you so much, I will!!
Delete❤️ Lydia
Wow! It definitely is! I hope everything goes really smoothly for you.
DeleteI was just think about how hard it is to talk about myself today! XD I love this tag and I loved getting to know you better. :) I also hate blood and I was homeschooled as well!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
xx Kenzie
How perfect is that? Thank you, Kenzie! *shudders* My sister likes to talk about it just to freak me out sometimes. It seems as if a great deal of the blogging community was.
DeleteThis is an awesome idea, Ella! I’ll definitely be doing this tag soon! I’ve been homeschooled for most of my life (except for kindergarten and first grade). I’ve got four siblings. I’ve only majorly moved once, about three years ago, but I’ve lived in four different houses.
ReplyDelete~ riley aline
YAY! I CANNOT WAIT TO READ IT! Ahh, moving is so hard, don't you think?
DeleteThis is a cool tag! I did a post similar like this...
ReplyDeleteI am home schooled!!
Lily @ lilymaesday.blogspot.com
Thank you, Lily! I'll have to check it out sometime! Thanks for your sweet comment, dear!
Deletek. seriously thinking about doing this, now.
ReplyDeleteI was home schooled too, but I'm graduated now. And I'm one of those weird people that isn't bothered by blood (which is a blessing, I guess). I don't stretch very often, but it definitely makes me feel better when I do.
Loved getting to know you a little better!!
k.
You should! Cool! Enjoy that gift, girl. Yes, me too!
DeleteI love this tag! I'm definitely going to have to do this one. =)
ReplyDeleteI hate blood too. Like... I could never be a doctor. I would pass out. Seriously. It's that bad. xD
I've been homeschooled all of my life too, and I have moved A WHOLE LOT as well. Moving is... Meh. I'd prefer to stay in one place, but the adventure is pretty awesome.
Great post! =)
Micaiah @ Notebooks and Novels
YAY! I'd love to read it if you do!
DeleteUGH, blood is the worst. I don't know how anyone does it.
Really? AHh, someone who get's how hard moving is! Yeah, I'm definitely glad we did some of it, but staying in one place is VERY nice.
I loved this post as I always want to know more about my blogging friends! I have two sisters as well but I've only moved 7 times. 11 is actually crazy. Like whhhhyy??
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! I'm SO glad you enjoyed it. 7 is still a giant number! Ahaha, it's a long story as to why we moved that much. Maybe I'll do a post about it one day.
DeleteOOOH GURL I FEEEEL U WITH THE BLOOD, CANT HANDLE IT!
ReplyDeleteCute post ❤️❤️
