So. I’ve been tagged by the oh-so-lovely and amazing photographer Brenda, and the equally talented and so sweet Leah, AND wonderful Mrs. Angie Penrose! I have to list eight interesting things about myself, if there are eight (!), and then tag 4-8 (it seems to vary) photographers to do the same. Sounds fun! So, here goes. : )
1. My favourite colour is white. I love its purity, and cleanliness - and its connotations with angels and so forth. I always thought it was a very… honest…colour. If you can have such a thing.
2. I sometimes think my life would be easier if I was named Cordelia. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely adore my name, and I don’t know anybody else named Lulu (do you?), but still. We always wish for what we can’t have, I guess!
3. I sleep with a St. James edition of the Holy Bible (a Bible, basically) under my pillow at night. It makes me feel safe. The only way that could get any more interesting is if I was an atheist, LOL…I’m not. : )
4. I have a 50mm 1.4 on the way!! It should arrive on Wednesday and I am so so excited!
5. I love school. Okay, you probably already knew that, in retrospect. Umm, well, I love it because I get to do all my favourite things there – read, write, learn, meet new people, see my friends…stuff like that. It’s my second home and I never ever ever want to leave.
6. I am completely COMPLETELY completely addicted to ice lollies. Yum. I find them so so sooooo delicious. How could you not? I don’t care what flavour, what shape, what kind – give me an ice lolly and you are my best friend for life! I don’t actually eat them that often because I am atrocious at making them myself (lol, how hard can it be? but, nope, I can’t) and my mum never ever buys them because she knows they will have been devoured in ten seconds flat!
7. My favourite thing about my appearance is my hair. It’s naturally very blonde and curls at the end. I used to have a whole head of ringlets, hence my nickname Curly Mop-top (don’t even ask!), but then it went straight. But now I am older it is curly again, just loose ringlets, and I couldn’t be happier. I love it!
8. My absolute all-enduring hero is Robert F. Kennedy (1925-1968). His triumph over moral evil, his courage, his belief in his duty to do right…I just find his message so inspiring. I think, had he lived, he would have won. I think he would have won.
How was that for interesting? I hope I didn’t bore you toooooo much. : ) Now I’m tagging lovely Jeanette, beautiful Ellen, sweet Lottie and amazing Amanda! Until next time (and I promise to have a Canada post for you, Miss E, who knows who she is, this week sometime) !! ; ) I’ll leave you with a favourite, although old now, shot of mine. Your loving friend, Miss Lulu : )

I love that you want to be called Cordelia!! I know I’ve told you this a hundred times, but you are so cool, cute and one of the most interesting people I know. I just love reading your blog! Love that photo too. That’s such a peaceful shot. I could stare at that water for hours. Happy Monday!

It’s great to read about you! You know when I was little my mom used to call me Lulu sometimes. It started at Desi-Lu and then ended up Lulu. She calls my daughter that sometimes. I like your name! Congrats on the 50 1.4!!!!!!

I love your name- my DD has a doll named Lulu :)
I think it fits you perfectly too- you just don’t seem like a Cordelia :)

I love your name! Lulu is soooo cool, quirky and unusual I think. Cordelia makes me think of Buffy (which I love, LOL). I think you suit a kind of old-fashiony kinda name. Not sure why.
Congrats on the 1.4 on the way. I LOVE that lens. Too bad mine busted twice >.< Can’t wait to see what you do with it xoxo

Followed you from Tiffany’s blog – you’re my “Jane Austen” friend! I just read Pride and Prejudice for about the BILLIONTH time, but this time I thought of you, describing the English countryside like my favorite writers – Jane…and the Bronte’s. I love how your photography, your name, your writing all wrap into that….era…that..theme. LOVE IT!
