Ten Things That Define My Style (MEME)

Melanie from "Happy Thoughts" tagged me to describe ten things that define my style. Here goes:

1. Openness, honest, truth: I seek the truth, and I try to be open and honest in everything that I do. Part of what has been freaking me out lately is that I haven't known the truth about some of the people in my life and/or our relationships.
2. Hard work and dedication: Whatever I do, I give it everything that I've got...sometimes to a fault. I tend to work myself until I'm sick.
3. Loyalty: I tend to take a long time when building new relationships, but the ones that I get close with, I stick with.
   
4. Jerusalemite: I am very connected to the city of Jerusalem, and my style reflects this.
5. The path less taken: I tend to do things differently than I see those around me doing them. Even if I end up on a path that takes longer or that leads me in different directions, I try to follow my heart and my deep desires.
6. JewBu: You'll find a lot of Judaica at my home. But, you'll also see a Hindu god that Sanchi gave me. And some laughing Buddahs that she gave me also. You'll see Jewish books and Buddhist books and a meditation cushion.
7. A lot of black: You'll find a lot of black in my wardrobe and in my life. I certainly don't seek out darkness, but especially this last year has thrown a lot at me.
8. History: I like to be surrounded by items with history and to be grounded myself in my past. Right now, I'm wearing a sweater that belonged to my grandmother.
9. Frizzy: And I'm not just talking about my hair. I tend to live a very stressed out life, something that as I continue with the JewBu Quest, I try to lessen.
10. Casual: I'm not fond of formal events, clothing, or relationships. I prefer being comfortable and being able to talk about everything.
