Day #10---songs I listen to (Erin)

Hmmm, songs that I listen to when I am sad---I know this is weird, but I like to listen to sad songs when I'm sad. Especially after a break-up. Some of my favorite songs are "Lost" by Little Big Town and also "Kiss Goodbye," also by Little Big Town. They have lots of good sad songs. Joshua Radin also has great sad love songs. And I like to listen to some sappy Spanish songs as well.

When I'm angry---I love to listen to the angry women artists--angry Pink, angry Kelly Clarkson, angry Taylor Swift and angry Carrie Underwood.

When I'm happy I like to listen to happy upbeat songs. Or also when I need some energy. But I usually like to listen to songs that fit my mood!

Day #9--Quotes (Erin)

I love quotes! Hopefully I can limit them to a few. Some of my favorites:

"If you love something very much, let it go free. If it does not return, it was not meant to be yours. If it does...love it forever."

"Help thy brothers' boat across the sea, and lo, thine own has reached the shore."
                                                                                    -Hindu proverb

"Being humble mean recongnizing that we are not on earth to see how important we can become, but to see how much difference we can make in the lives of others."
                                                                                     -Gordon B. Hinckley

"We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us."
                                                                                      -EM Forster

"I believe in Christ as I believe in the rising sun; not because I can see it, but by it I can see everything else."
                                                                                      -CS Lewis

I love CS Lewis! There are so many more quotes I love, but there are a few!

Day 8

Oops, I accidentally mixed those up. I'm gonna go ahead and blame that cold medication! :) I can't put up someone that has had the biggest impact on me either, so I am just going to post a pic of my entire family. They are my best friends, biggest supporters, least judgmental and silliest people in my life. They love me no matter what and I love them no matter what. We are a crazy bunch, but we are fun!

Day #7--Fears (Erin)

I have many of the same fears as Amy. I am afraid to death of snakes. Even if they aren't poisonous at all. They creep me out. I'm not really afraid of spiders at all---I actually feel kind of sorry for them. I think the poor spiders have a bad rap. Most are just harmless. But I hate snakes. They give me nightmares.

I am also afraid of heights. Especially when I'm hanging upside down at that stupid ride at Lagoon with water shooting up in my face. I hate that ride.

I can swim, but I have a fear of open water. If I can't see the bottom, it freaks me out!

Day #6--Favorite Super Hero (Erin)

I am behind on these. So, I am catching up since I am sick in bed and bored out of my mind! I would have to agree with Amy on this one.  Batman is also my favorite. I love that he is hot and mysterious. That is all!

Day #9--Amy

Day #8--Amy

Your Fears/Phobias:

I have way too many fears to list all in one post so I have made the decision to only post my top 5. So here they are in random order.

#1

 

Snakes! Just looking at this picture makes me cringe! Yuck! I'm so terrified of snakes doesn't matter if they are big or just a garden snake they all creep me out. I hate them and am pretty sure they are evil. That's maybe going a little far but whatever! I think I've made my point.

 

#2

 

Heights. I think I have a dream of falling at least once a week and it terrifies me!

 

#3

 

Water/drowning. As I've said before I can't swim. The water has always been terrifying for me. When I was younger I went to my friend Lindsay's birthday party at a public pool. I told my friends I couldn't swim so they gave me one of those floatation boards and said I would be fine if I just held on to it. Well somehow I let go of it and started to sink. My friends saw this and instead of lifting me out of the water they dragged me underwater to the edge of the pool. It could have only been a couple of seconds but it felt like forever! It was an awful feeling of panic and helplessness that I will never forget.

 

#4

 

Public Speaking. I have no idea where this fear came from. It's so funny because I remember when I was little being in primary and they would always ask who wanted to give the talk for sharing time. I would volunteer every time and I think my mother wanted to kill me since she's the one that had to write them. Even for the primary program in sacrament meeting I would always ask for the biggest part. Somewhere between then and now I have developed a huge fear of public speaking. Just the thought of having to do it makes me nauseous.

 

#5

 

 

Needles. I know no one likes getting shots but I seriously hate them with a passion!
