I was tagged quite a while ago, by two wonderful friends, sorry it has taken me so long to play along, it takes a lot for me to bear my soul ~ I was tagged by stiletto heights~ and gifling designs~ 2 blogs you must take a peak at, they are both amazing artists!
Write 7 thing things that people don't know about me & then tag 7 others~ but I was tagged twice so this is 14 things.
fourteen things~
1~ I ran away from home at the age of 14 with my boyfriend, we took a car & a gun & headed out on the highway from Washington state to Florida, only made it to Wisconsin...details maybe at another time~
2~ I used to run a nightclub in Seattle, where I would book all the bands to play at the club, I loved that job! except for checking the PO Box every day...filled with 100's of tapes & cds that I would have to listen to. I met a ton of great bands, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Mudhoney, Garden of Hedon, Heart, the list could go on.
3~ for some strange reason, when I was younger, I attracted girls/young women who wanted to fight me, I never have been able to figure that one out...when I used to go to nightclubs & parties, it would always end up, my friends & I would be running out the door being chased by girls who had the looks in their eyes as they wanted to pound on us severly. I never provoked any of them, I wasn't rude to them. Even my boyfriends liked to take a few punches at me everyonce in a while, Just the other day I was at the grocery store, a very snobby upscale one which I despise shopping at, but the fruit is to die for...I stopped in the middle of the isle, because my little one dropped his toy & this very large lady, ran her cart into me on accident, I turned around & she had that look in her eye, & she ran the cart into me again this time on purpose, she mumbled something about stopping in the middle of an isle, said some swear words & walked on~ strange things like that happen to me all the time.
4~ when I was 16 I took off to Florida, with the same boyfriend as mentioned above this time we made it there, the first day we arrived we swam in the ocean, I was wondering why no one was swimming on this beautiful beach, as we were LEAVING, I noticed signs that said KEEP OUT! Shark infested waters...I freaked! we were oh so young & dumb ;)
5~ I was almost stabbed by a crazy insane man, it was a miracle that I was saved by a good samaritan that just appeared & then took off as quietly as he appeared.
6~ when I was young I desperately wanted to be an archeologist or paleontologist
7~ I love to put money in parking meters for other people who's time has run out
8~ I love to leave little pieces of my art (unsigned/anonymous) in public places
9~ I love coffee... but have been trying to quit~ Quitting alcohol was easier
10~ I have weighed 98 pounds since I was 12 years old
11~ my first baby was 11 pounds, no drugs, no epideral..insane
12~ I love going to movie theaters' by myself, I don't like to cry in front of people
13~ many moons ago I wrote articles for a couple rock magazines, I don't know how I managed that, I can't write very well, I loved that job~
14~ every chance I can, I go to Las Vegas Speedway & experience the "ride along" ... Mario Andretti indy race car, as a passenger... 180 baby!
15~ i love to watch people walk
16~ i adore black & white silent films...my favorite is Picadilly
17~ I once kissed Johhny Depp....oh wait... that was in a dream, a really nice dream
hope I didn't bore you to sleep ;) xo!! Bella
7 people I tag Nicole's art world~ Gypsy Purple~ Gypsy on adventure~ Dan's blah blah blog~ Nature conservatory~ figurative paper~ Urban Paper's~
Ah, 17 I had the SAME experience! LOL After all he is MY pretend boyfriend! Fight ya! Giggle I know No 3 is because you are beautiful not only on the outside but inside and the shining bright light coming from you makes them mad because they don't have it! : )
And I will do write my answers soon! Hugs Gypsy

Oh my...I`m behind....I`ll get to this soon...
Posted by: Gypsy Purple | May 28, 2007 at 08:33 PM
Wow!! What an amazing life - all that has happened and all that is still to come. I too wanted to be either an archaeologist or paleontologist! (I think if truth be told I would still love to...)
And as exciting and dramatic as many of your experiences are - it is no's 7 and 8 which I found the most moving - any person who thinks of others and carries out these small anonymous acts of generosity - well I think that says so much about your persona and character - one of incredible inner and outer beauty.
Thank you so much for sharing these amazing memories and facts.

Hi Bella,
OMG I ALWAYS have the same problem as you(#3) In high school I had girls that always wanted to beat me up, or they would push me in the hall and be mean in gym class, and I was always so shy I never did anything to provoke it. And even now I still have that happen to me. I had a neighbor where I used to live in Illinois, and I tried to be so nice to her but she just hated me, and would go out of her way to say rude things. I would try to pet their dog and she would yell out the window at me. I thought I was only one that happened to! Thanks for posting that, I don't feel so alone now! Oh, and I also kissed Johnny Depp....In a dream!
HUGS!!!
Jillian
