ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the pink girlie stuff. It's my least favorite of the colors.
When I saw that you thought of DEATH with the word black it made me laugh. Even though I am sure that is a common association.
Sexy super power?? hmmm ;-)

Haha, proofreading was clearly not my superpower the day I wrote this - it should have been "TOO sexy to say." LOL!
DeleteThe beach also makes me feel grounded. When I'm troubled I like to walk it.
ReplyDeleteI love that you thought of the "when I'm old I'll wear purple" for that colour. And that you thought of death for black...very deep! I should go back and change my jealous answer to "yes" -- that you are so close to the Atlantic Ocean! :)
ReplyDeleteIt is awesome out here. I don't blame you for feeling a little green :-)
DeleteSo, I'm curious - first CD? Do you create music then? I enjoyed reading your responses.
ReplyDeleteThanks, nowandzenn! Yes, you can have a listen to my music at http://alexsings.bandcamp.com :-) I hope you enjoy!
DeleteI'm curious about your CD as well! Is there somewhere online that we can buy / listen to it?
ReplyDeleteYes, Heather, thanks for asking: http://alexsings.bandcamp.com - you can have a listen there :-)
DeleteI love how clearly you set your boundaries and that you have a vault. There's such a sense of safety there. And thanks for sharing baby chicks, hehe; it made me smile to think of baby chicks this morning!
