About Time Filler Fillings and Me

Well, I'm 19 as of February and would not call myself a health nut (or any other of those kind of things) at all. The truth is, healthy eating is not on my "what interests me" list at all.
Why am I doing this blog then? Well, the truth is...I am out of highschool and want to spend my time on useful things. I am being quite the rebel and opting out of college because I really have no reason to go. Nope, no excuses, I just don't have a reason to go. My plans for the future don't involve a "career" in the normal sense.
So...getting back to the point of this blog. I believe that idleness is a sin and I've found myself slipping into that far too much since I graduated. That's got me scared because, although I've staid busy, I've found myself spinning my wheels and not really doing much worthwhile. So! I've decided to fix that.
And that means learning about stuff that really isn't what interests me but is worthwhile and serves my family and that comes around and ends up being great, even if these things are my "favorite" to do. I'll be doing this blog (though, I love blogging, the health deal isn't really my "thing"), I'll be doing a huge garden pretty much by myself (I'll blog that too, probably) and I'll also be continuing to help my Mom keep up with the house, cooking and schooling the kids as I can. Not a huge list, but it's growing. I may throw in some sewing and the like. I do have plans for my future (rather awesome plans), but they won't be fully taking off for another couple of years so in the meantime, I want to do what I can to serve my family and those around me and glorify Christ by that.
So, some about me...like I said, I'll be 19 in Feb. and my favorite things to do are write and sing and be with my best friends and family. I have written one complete book and have another in the works, along with being in the planning stages of co-authoring a book with my best friend. I've written a ton of song lyrics, but don't know how to put music to them and I've also written many short stories. When it comes to singing, I sing everything from Italian Opera to Heavy Rock. That means...everything. I love it more than just about anything and would love to put out an album some day.
I live with my parents and five of my eight siblings in Southeast Alabama and want to travel some day. I have a fascination with clear ocean water and beaches...and want to see that some day. I love God more than anyone and love people as a result. Though...I'm told I'm kind of a recluse sometimes.
I work for Kingdom Pen Magazine as content manager and love every minute of that.
I used to love every animal in the world, now I'm more of just a cat person and love a couple of dogs. Though...okay...maybe I still love a ton of animals. I have two hamsters and love other animals a lot.
I love to cook and help my Mom with the kids.
My goal/plan is to have a family of my own and raise a bunch of kids and teach them to think for themselves, to love God and others and to write and sing!
That's pretty much me. I love McDonalds french fries...I could eat 6 large orders of those at time (yeah...I just said those three horrible words on a HEALTH blog!) and I am learning to like hot tea a good deal (with goodly amounts of sugar and cream). I won't finish writing out my favorite things to eat because I'd probably be called a heretic in the health food blogging world. Ah, well.
Enjoy the blog! (And really...if you have anything to say, just leave a comment. I accept alllll thoughts.)


If you were able to understand that...congrats! You get the "Almost as crazy as me award"!
