The 100 dollar

Chatterbox: Down to Earth

The 100 dollar

The 100 dollar question! 

This is where I ask an interesting* question, and anyone who answers it gets 100 dollars**. I'm going to do it every Saturday, soooo a completely not vague at all question (drumroll please)....

When do you feel the most yourself?  

I think I feel the most myself when I'm being goofy and hyper with my friends, or when I finish an organizing/DIY project and I can just look at it and think: "Ahhh...". Like, an internal contented sigh.

Yep, I'm hyper. YAYY!!  

*what I think is

I feel most myself when I'm having ideas at the speed of the water in a waterfall (bad figurative language), and I can hardly even write them down. I'm just kinda yelling, "Wait wait here's what we should do and then YES and THAT WORKS and OGOSH." Often I like to draw raging and crazy idea maps. That's me, when I'm really focused on the enjoyable work that I have.

Brainstorming, in a word.

This is going to sound really horrible, but hear me out. I feel most meself when I'm being snarky. I don't know any people I dislike really. I might not be the biggest fan of some people, but I don't really dislike them. So when I'm being snarky, it's as a joke with friends I know really well. (Cough cough Ms. Banana and KittyLover, cough cough) So I guess it's not really being snarky, it's being in a place and with people I can be snarky with.

I feel most myself when I am with my weird friends( I am equally weird) and spouting off horrible jokes, and my friends just facepalm. All the time. Also! I feel most myself when drawing, sketching, coloring or painting. I feel so free! I draw what I imagine people as, animals, characters, and all that fun stuff!

This is actually a pretty bad answer. But, whatever!

I feel the most myself when I'm curled up at home alone, reading a book and sipping tea under a soft blanket. Or when I'm with my friends, laughing and chatting about life. When I'm organizing something or working on a project, and I finaly finish it. When I'm being productive on my homework and I actually get ahead. When I'm taking a walk all alone and the birds are chirping outside and there's no one around to see me.

Great idea!

I think that I feel most myself when...ohgandalfthisishard...I guess when I'm with my friends, with LotR on in the background, and we're cracking up so hard that some of us (ahem, me, cough) are falling out of our chairs, and we desperately grab at each other's arms, and THEY WILL GO DOWN WITH ME!!! Sorry, but, yes, that is definitely when I feel myself.

(Ooh, I'm gonna ask if we can watch The Return of the King on Friday. Yippe!)

I feel the most myself when. . .

I'm in my family

With my friends, (who actually let me be myself, and don't think that I'm creepy, or crazy, or weird, because they know that they are sometimes the things I listed above too.)

And, *whispers* when I'm around my crush. I'm serious! 

I also feel the most myself when I write or read something that I can relate to.

When I write, sing, and am around my close friends and family.

I feel the most myself when I'm in a wide open space

I feel the most myself when I'm running.

I feel the most myself when I'm ice skating.

I feel the most myself when I'm writing or drawing.

I feel the most myself when I've just finished a novel that took a while to write, or a picture or a shawl or scarf or something crafty. Something I'm proud of. 

I feel the most myself when I'm in the garden.

I feel the most myself when I'm dancing.

I feel the most myself when I'm on the farm.

I feel the most myself when I'm with my animals.

I feel the most myself when I'm up a tree.

I feel the most myself when I daydreaming.

I feel the most myslef outside.

I feel the most myself when I play or listen to music.

I feel the most myself when I'm all alone. Especially outside.

I feel the most myself when I'm out fishing or just walking near the brook. or when I'm listening to old country classics in the hayloft.

I think I feel most myself on the rare occasions when I'm not pretending to be someone else.

When I'm just goofing off with my brothers. Not even in  necessarily nice way... we're just getting into arguments, and complaining about annoying things to each other. I know, that sounds really terrible, but it's really not for me. I guess it's like, I don't have to prove anything to them or keep my guard up. I know if I mess up big time, they will have to forgive me. It's just how it works for us. I'm not pretending to be anyone except myself. :)
