Hannah's Random Thoughts #22: Pinkies, Poems, Sweatshirts, and Dreams

So Sarah gave me a nice long list of things to talk about since I haven't written here since... erm... heh heh... November. Sorry 'bout that.

Anyway, the list is like two pages long so I now have a lot of things to think about. And, as you'll see, it's quite random. So I'll just start at the top of the list and write about a few things. (You'll notice I've changed a few of the original prompts of Sarah's)

A Time I Bit My Tongue  A Time I Rolled Over My Pinkie
To be honest, I can't think of a time I bit my tongue right now. But, actually for some reason this just reminded me of a time in fourth or fifth grade when it was the rollerskating unit in PE and I fell down (big surprise, I know. Turns out Hannah wasn't always as graceful as she is now) and as I tried to push myself up off the ground I rolled over my own pinkie finger. Pitiful. It hurt a LOT too, but I was tough. I think I busted the blood vessel so when I got home I soaked it in an ice bath that was so cold it was almost as painful as rolling over my poor digit.

A Poem I Like
The first poem that came into my head was "Daffodils" by William Wordsworth. I did it for the poem unit two years ago. Just a nice little poem. You should read it.

All the Favorite Sweatshirts I've Had
My trusty Lakeside soccer sweatshirt was a favorite for many, many years. It was far too big when I first got it so it lasted for a long time. It was the central item of my elementary school fashion. Yep. Lakeside soccer sweatshirt, blue jeans, running shoes, and hair in a ponytail. The epitome of Hannah's fourth grade style.

A Dream I've Never Told Anyone About
Well, you don't get many of those. Just ask my family and they'll pull out the 2957 lbs of cassette tapes of my recorded dreams. (I'm just kidding, we don't have a tape recorder.) Although, most of you don't know that last week I had a dream I met Russell Wilson. He was in a wheelchair in a local park. I was with Sarah and my mom and she talked to him and we all had a nice little conversation. Then she raised her arms and said "Strong against cancer?" and he replied with a nod "Strong against cancer." and that was kind of cool and fun.
OH OKAY I THOUGHT OF ONE NOW (see, you get me going on dreams and I don't stop)
So this was a dream I had during the Age of the Great Secret (aka the time when I was writing letters to the Harry Potter Cast for Sarah's Christmas present and I couldn't tell her ANYTHING about it which was SO PAINFUL but also cool because I got replies! Ginny (Bonnie Wright), Neville (Mathew Lewis), and Fred and George (James and Oliver Phelps)!!! ARGGHG I WAS SO HAPPY when they came I just felt like my heart was bursting with so much joyyyyy. Okay, back to the story: ) So, during this Age, in the beginning I wasn't sure who I was going to ask for autographs and originally I thought the Golden Trio but I realized it would be harder with all their fans writing too so anyway, during this decision making process, I drempt (Yes, I say drempt. Dreamed sounds weird. Dreeeemeddd. bleck. drempt sounds so much more elegant. Though usually I just say "I had a dream") so anyway I drempt that I met Harry and Ron and Hermione (and I think Ginny was there too) and I told them my secret and they were kind of weirded-out at my enthusiasm which is kind of understandable, but I thought it was cool I met them anyway.

Anyway, that's just three of EIGHTY things Sarah gave me to talk about. So I'll stop there for now.

Thanks folks for reading!

Hannah's Random Thoughts #18: this was actually a random thought

So, I must confess, these "random thoughts" are not really super random. I usually think about something for a while and then when I have deemed it blog-worthy, I write a post. But this one really is a random thought.

Sarah's older than me.
But I am Sarah's oldest twin. I am also Sarah's youngest twin.
I am Sarah's only twin. I am also all of the twins that Sarah has.

A bit of a paradox if I do say so myself.
