It has taken me a bit to compose a list for Angie’s challenge. But in no particular order, only the order in which they came to me, here is my list of twenty things about Morgan. Some are obvious, others not so, some are humorous, and some are not, but each of these are part of what makes me, me.

#1) I work too much.
I am often at work for more than ten hours a day. It is not the best job in the world, but it is steady and I make decent money. But if it was not for the people I work with I would not put in so many hours. That, and I do not go out often. I put up with a lot at my job, many angry people who yell all the time, but there are some glimmers of good times. Today I talked to Frank, the famous comedian whose impressions of the cast of Family Guy and the Simpsons kept me laughing, and last week I spoke with Chuck Norris.
#2) I am emotional.
Many times I think I feel too much, and much of what I feel I hide. It makes me a passionate person, and one who is also understanding. Unfortunately it also leads to hurt feelings, and it is why I have been absent the last few days. I saw myself falling farther and farther into sadness, so I withdrew so as not to add to the sorrow already present here. I cannot make myself add to that, and stop myself when I can.
#3) I find lost animals.
I do not know how many people’s pets I have found and returned, but they seem to be drawn to me. Many times I will get up to find a dog or a cat sitting on my front step. I have never taken reward money I have been offered, I cannot profit on someone’s loss of a beloved pet. While I cannot give a definite answer to how many people I have reunited with their animals, in this past year I have come across three so far.
#4) I am easily amused.
I am not one for anything flashy or expensive, it is often the smallest things which touch me, as well as make me laugh. A kind word, a penny someone gives me for ‘my thoughts’, these are the things that touch me the most. And what makes me laugh are simple things, which I derive from everyday living. Just today I could not help but laugh when my hair was stuck in the door because it was so windy!
#5) I am highly intelligent.
Not many people know that I have an actual degree; I do not work at a job where one is needed. And even less know that that I breezed through college in under three years, testing out of many classes. I have plans to go back to complete my Masters next fall. It is about time I did, and get away from where I am working now.
#6) I fight for my friends.
I do tend to withdraw when I am upset, not wanting to cause any more pain to those I call friends, but even more so I tend to put what is bothering me on the back burner to help those I call friends. And while I am quiet and dislike conflict, I do not hesitate to stand up for anyone that I consider a friend.
#7) It takes awhile before I trust anyone.
Like many here, I have been hurt numerous times in my past. It is hard for me to trust people, and actions speak louder than words. It is often something small that will help to open myself up to others. I protect myself, so that I will not be hurt like the past, and while I long to be open completely with someone, it is often a battle to get me to be this way. Not impossible, just more than most people are willing to do.
#8) I can never paint my nails without smearing at least one.
This one I added for a little humor. And it is completely true. I have an extensive collection of nail polish, of while I rarely wear. I will paint my nails, wait for it to dry, and then end up smearing one. When I try to fix it, another gets messed up! This usually leads me to just taking off the nail polish on the rest of my fingers, and vowing to try again another day.
#9) I could live on breakfast.
I am a sucker for breakfast, and if I had to choose just one type of food to live on, this would be it. I do not eat breakfast in the morning, eating when I get up tends to make my stomach a little upset, so I eat it for lunch, or dinner!
#10) My best friend is over ten years younger than me.
I do not look at the things people cannot change about themselves, mainly the way they look, their age, their life circumstances, and instead look at the person. And it is not as if most people even realize how old I really am.
#11) I demand honesty.
I cannot stand people who put on an act or pretend to be other people. I would rather be told the truth than believe a lie, even if it hurts me.
#12) I cannot stand the cold.
If I could I would live some place where the weather never goes below 65! I tend to be the one still wearing a jacket when everyone else is already in shorts. I could live without air conditioning, but never a heater when the weather turns cooler. (Although I love to play in snow!)
#13) I paint.
I have painted for as far back as I remember. This includes not only canvas, but also my walls. I surround myself with color and will probably always continue to do so.
#14) I write songs, or at least I used to.
This is personal, and I do not share with many people. The last person I did hurt me terribly, so I have lost that song in my soul which encourages me to write and play. One day I hope to get this back, but for now the music I used to make is silent.
#15) I have a fondness for 3D movies.
I am like a kid in a candy store when a new 3D movie comes out. I love them so! I have been happy more and more movies are being done this way, and when I go to the theatre I will always choose one over any other type of movie.
#16) I am painfully shy.
I often lose my thoughts around people I do not know, and stand there staring at my feet. It is not that I do not want to talk to people, but that I find it hard to, and often I am unable to. I have always been this way, and most people never take the chance to get to know me because of it.
#17) I long to be near the ocean.
I was the child who could spend hours splashing in the waves after everyone else has gone home. The sounds, the smells, the feel of the ocean makes me feel alive. One day I will live near one, but for now I must make due with the few times I am able to travel to see it.
#18) I love music.
Even though I have lost my desire to play and write music, I still have music playing almost constantly around me. And when I cannot, there is often a song running through my head. I could not live without it in my life.
#19) I do not judge.
Or at least I should say I am one of the most least judgmental people out there. We are all different, and experience different things in our lives. Because of this I strive to understand and accept people for who they are, regardless. I would never judge someone else.
#20) I think too much.
My mind never rests, and often I have a hard time falling asleep because of all the thoughts that run through my head nightly. I have been told many times that I ‘think too much’ on different things, something which annoys me but I cannot change. And I believe I would rather think too much than not enough.
This is the list that I have come up with, this is me. There is much more than just 20, but I will save that for another blog
