Seven Facts About Hamlette:
1. I was first published when I was seven years old. I submitted a poem called "The Ant" to Highlights for Kids and they published it!
2. My favorite Star Wars character is Han Solo.
3. Strawberries are my favorite fruit.
4. I own 10 different adaptations of Hamlet on DVD, including an opera and a Chinese retelling. (I haven't watched the Chinese retelling or one of the others yet, though.)
5. I've never had a haircut. I get 4-6 inches trimmed off every six months or so, but I can't remember a time when it wasn't long, usually reaching my waist.
6. I've visited John Wayne's birthplace in Winterset, IA.
7. I have lived in seven different states: Iowa, Michigan, North Carolina, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Connecticut, and Virginia. And I've lived in each of them for at least three years apiece.
I know it says nominate 15 other blogs, but I'm not going to. I follow 55 blogs right now, and to choose 15 from them that are the most inspiring to me would be much too difficult for a busy Wednesday. If you'd like to be nominated, let me know in the comments and I'll nominate you "officially."
I always love learning fun facts about blogging friends! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteI agree! Always a good time :-)
DeleteSuch lovely answers!! :D I'd LOVE to do the award!
ReplyDeleteI hereby nominate you for it :-)
DeleteWait…there are people whose favorite Star Wars character ISN'T Han Solo?!?! What is this thing?!?!;)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I know, right? People get weirdly attached to that Luke guy, I guess.
DeleteYour list is awesome. I'm a little envious of your hair -- I cut mine when I was thirteen and have never had it longer than my shoulders since. I always get impatient and chop it all off, so I've been starting over in growing out pixie cuts for decades. Hehe.
ReplyDelete10 versions of Hamlet?! You must really love Hamlet! :D
Thanks! And yeah, I've never had the guts to cut it off. Afraid I'd miss it too much!
DeleteAnd I do love Hamlet. If I told you how many different books I own about it, including random different editions of the play, you'd shun me as a freak.
This was fun to read. :) Aw, Han Solo.
ReplyDeletexx
Thanks! And yeah, isn't he sweet there?
DeleteCongrats on the fun award! Fun read, Hamlette. Much as I like being in one place, it's cool you've been to so many different states.
ReplyDeleteI cut my hair (shoulder) when I was a teen and that went into a pattern of cutting it every summer and then growing it out in the winter. I have insanely thick hair, so it gives me headaches if it grows too long. I fell out of that for a while, but now it's shoulder length again and I love it. So much easier to take care of. :)
I've actually visited all of the lower 48 states, those are just the ones I've lived in. For a homebody, I do love to travel! Most of that was when I was a kid, though.
DeleteI would like to cut my hair some time, just to see what it's like, but so far, nope, not gonna do it.
great list! I love the John Wayne museum. Took some photos there a few years ago but never posted them to my blog (I need to do this soon) Heard that the museum was moving into a new building this year nearby.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I've only visited that museum once, but it was almost 20 years ago, when I was a teen. I'd love to see your photos! And is there a reason they're mving to a new location?
