5 Things I Do Other Than Write

1. I sing. I can sing very well. This is very much thanks to my Catholic upbringing, during which I sang a lot in church, sang in the choir, sang solo. One of the items on my bucket list is to be in a musical.

2. I am currently changing around everything with my diet. I’ve always been fat. There, I said it. I’m not ashamed of that fact. I am not a self-hating fattie. It’s just true. About 2 months ago, I started a high-protein, low-carb diet. Lots of veggies. Also, lots of working out. I’ve lost almost 30 pounds.

3. I read a lot. Is that cheating? “When I’m not writing, I’m reading. HA!”? But yeah, no, I’ve actually been working on reading at least one new book per month in 2012. I have read 2 so far. I keep track of these on my GoodReads account.

4. I am researching charities. I wanted to give to charities in 2012. What charities do you give to?

5. I’m starting on some visual crafts. Scrapbooking (smashbooking). I had to do something with all the bullshit I manage to save constantly.
