Sunday Social, Part Two.


Last week, I participated in my first Sunday Social. It was pretty fun, so I decided to do it again! Here are the questions for this week. If you decide to participate, here is the link-up for Sunday Social. Its a great way to meet fellow bloggers + share your interests!


01. What are 3 items you can't live without on a daily basis (water, food, shelter, and clothes don't count). My Erin Condren Take Note! Notebook/Planner, iPhone, + fun, colorful pens!
02. What is your all-time favorite book? Why? I really love Nick Hornby's High Fidelity. I've read it over a dozen times since I was seventeen - there is such a strong connection to the characters + their lists. Oh, the lists. Read the book + you'll see what I mean. There is a film as well, which I also love.
03. What is something you'd like to accomplish before the end of 2012? I would really love to secure a full-time job, either in the field of writing or teaching. I love both dearly, but at the moment, my luck hasn't been so wonderful. Everything happens for a reason, though, so I try not to stress about it. 
04. If you could go back and relive any year of your life which year would it be? Gosh, I don't know. Maybe I've seen Back To The Future one too many times, but changing anything, even if it is minuscule, could result in catastrophic events. But, if I could change things without altering my current reality, I would relive the year, starting in November 2007.
05. What do you wish people knew about you without you having to tell them? I wish people would stop asking me if I am applying for teaching job, or teaching related positions. The answer is yes, I apply for at least three jobs per week. I am still in grad school, so I have to apply to places that are within an hour drive from my school, so I don't miss class. I feel like this is something I address at least three times per month.

Sunday Social.

I have seen my friend Brittany, owner of The Sapphire Bee, post about Sunday Social before, but I haven't gotten around to creating my own. Seeing as I'm up late + working on the blog (what else is new), I figured I'd give it a shot! This week's questions are about my favorite things.


01. What is the name of your blog and how did you come up with it? My blog is called short girl, long island. I'm 4'11" + I live on Long Island. Short + sweet, just like me!

02. What do you love the most about blogging? I love the friendships I have forged since the creation of the blog. Not just fellow bloggers, but business owners, readers + artists. 

03. What are your 2 favorite posts you've written? May Angels Lead You In + Talking With Tony Lucca.

04. What is something you'd want to tell someone just starting out in blog world? Keep the layout simple + write in your own style.

05. Biggest blogging learning experience you've had? Organization is key. Planners, emails, etc. I was always pretty organized, but I am always looking at my planner, to make sure I am on top of things.

06. Give us 3 blogs we NEED to be following that you love. Sometimes Sweet, brilliant nature, + Nerd Craft Librarian.
