Wow, its been a long time since I took the time to settle back into this community and write to you all. I came this way to do just that and decided to check out the Question of The Day. They funny thing is that I actually do this often but mostly because I own a online travel agency and do allot of advertising and such online. But that isn't the only reason, I also write 4 other for 4 other blogs and contribute to blogging networks whenever I have the chanc too.
I like seeing the results that come up because it shows me what is working for me and what isn't. It also shows me who is linking to my blogs.
What was (or is) your favorite subject in school?
I haven't been in school for years but I always looked forward to spending time in my Art classes. Strangely enough I didn't really get along with any of the teachers that I had for those classes, especially in college but I always had a knack for free hand drawing and some other artistic endeavors.
I have done a couple paintings but unless it was watercolor, I was horrible at it.
I still look back on those classes with a fondness. Especially my High School independent study classes. The only reason that I didn't get along with my teachers is because my work was always viewed to be my own. I always felt that a teacher was there to teach you the technique but never to try and force you to employ it in the manner that they percieve it to be. After all, art is expression and my art is MY expression.
What do you usually do on Sunday?
Most Sundays I drive to a little town of about 300 residents, where my parents live, and spend time with them and other members of the family. The ritual since I moved out quite a few years ago has been that I go to church with them in the morning and have dinner with them afterwords.
I really enjoy this as it allows me time to see everyone that is dear to me but don't get to see since I live about 30+ miles from most of them. It will be at these gatherings that I will start to talk to them about my recent decision to create a family tree and delve into the past.
After spending much of the day with them I'll often spend the evenings and into the early morning with friends. Lately we've been having allot of bonefires which is allot of fun and relaxing.
Its the one day I have that I can just relax and do the things that I consider fun so they are usually packed.
