Once a month... and tagged!

So I'm again posting once a month (does anyone even read this anymore....?) and Angela 'tagged' me, and since I've never been 'tagged' before, I figure I'll play along......

As many of you who know me know, I have 2 last names, so I took the easiest route and went with Rose... (much less letters to think of than the chinese name, which technically isn't letters at all......) so here goes...

R - Romantic - and I mean that in the fullest sense of that loaded word. Check it out on http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/romantic
I want to live a full and creative life, willing to "subordinate form to content" to emphasise emotion, capture the imagination, sing, laugh, live musically, create, bring life and colour, celebrate in the ordinary, to be fabulous, and love extravagantly.

O - Original and Open - Well at least that's what I'm shooting for.... I think I choose these words because I want to be original and open. I know God made me unique and special and without baggage and insecurity and fear, but sometimes I am scared that I'm really just a bit ordinary and quite a bit closed. And I'm scared that that will lead to boring. But as someone wise once said to me, I can choose not to let that happen. So here's to my best shot :)

S - Senses - I like to see, hear, taste, touch and smell my world, and I'm often driven by my reactions to those things, occasionally to my detriment ,when I'm overwhelmed with a feeling and don't think my reactions through entirely. But sometimes there's so much art and life and colour and love in a smell or a touch or a taste or a look that I can't resist it. And some senses surprise you, communication in sign instead of words or hearing someone come into a room by their scent, or tasting a memory in a foreign land.

E - Emotional - Again, not in a throw away 'oh you're so emotional' way, but more to say that I think I get through a lot of this life by feeling my way out, rather than always thinking the problem through or following a map. There's good and bad points to it, people have always said I have a big heart, and while to love deeply means to have the best memories and laughs and beautiful, I know it means that I've hurt deeply and cried much, and some days just felt sad or so angry I could knee cap someone (I'm sorry that I did that once, you know who you are, thank you for forgiving me...) But I'm learning that it's ok, and I'm incredibly blessed to have a lot of people around me who have cried with me, laughed with me, tickled me when I needed it and said that I didn't, write me amazing and beautiful words and who I know, even when I have my doubts, give me and take my love. Thank you.

So, four words and 30 minutes later it's time for bed.
I tag......Rebecca Joy, Krista Ann, Jacqui Brooke and Laura Rosalind.......

Love you much
