Janey Gunning
("Janey Red Brick")
Favorite LEGO toys/themes: Basic Tubs/Boxes, City/Town, Trains/Monorail and Designer Sets
My fascination with LEGO began... with set 111 and the fact that I could out-build my older sister. She quickly gave up building and all of her blocks became mine. You have to love sibling rivalry - (evil laughter!)
I once built... a village for under the Christmas tree, that my mother would bring out every year way into my teens, much to my embarrassment.
Someday I will build... my own (red brick) coffin. [This is not a joke!]
LEGO is great because... without creativity we are nothing but animals with opposable thumbs.
LEGO fans are great because... most seem to be twisted and childlike, in the most wonderful way, but do they have to be such darn compartmental dorks?
My favorite Non-LEGO Toys: Are there other toys???? Oh yeah, the Slinky, Etch a Sketch and Silly Putty rate pretty high.
My favorite Hobbies & Interests: Building, Sketching, Camping, Debating & Deck Hopping (yes that is a sport where I'm from).
My favorite Foods: Anything I don't have to cook myself . . . preferably Mexican.
My favorite Movies & TV: Wizard of Oz, To Kill a Mockingbird, Scent of a Women, Pay it Foward. Authors: anything by Koontz and Saul.
My favorite Artists: Escher, Dali, da Vinci, Munch, Van Gogh, Larson (yes he counts)
My favorite Music: Beatles, Stones, Alanis, BNL, Croce, Chapin, Matchbox 20, Nickelback, Red Hot CP, CSY&N, BTO . . .
My favorite Pets & Animals: Yes, I would love one . . . (if I could only keep it alive... Sorry Charlie and good luck Buster.)
Words which best describe me: I'm a Freak. ("I'm a -murfled- , I'm a lover, I'm a child, I'm a mother, I'm a sinner, I'm a saint, I'm a tease, I'm a goddess on my knees. I do not feed ashamed, I'm your hell...) and an artist by chance, parent by design, nonsensical by choice. Extroverted, opinionated, sarcastic, loud, sensitive, just a tad bit wild, loyal, hippie tree hugging, socialistic, cryptic, hedonistic, guilt ridden, over-protective of those important to me, mother of two amazing sons (yes, of course I'm biassed).
I love it when... people think outside of the box, or they are creative, charitable and understanding. Also, when Lego is on sale.
I hate it when... people act too mature or make racist remarks. Also, when my credit card is maxed out from buying Lego online. Curses at S@H, Bricklink and Ebay!!!!
I can't seem to get enough... red 2x4 blocks. Nor enough motivation and attention (wink).
I always seem to have enough... Blue bricks and Lego wheels and tires . . . All the useless pieces "where do they all come from?"
I hope I always... build, paint and sketch with passion, run with scissors, live life with honesty, and remember those that make a difference and forgot those that -murfle- me off.
I wish I could... keep all of my Lego organised, sing on key or at least manage the correct lyric at the correct time, and keep my neighbours off my property.
I could never... resist a drink with a friend, let a friend drive intoxicated, stop loving my boys, or leave a box of lego unopened.
I hope I never... sell off my collection to make a fast buck, jump out of a plane without a parachute, stick my hand in a burning fire, or let down the people that rely on me.
I wish I hadn't... used the stickers from the best Lego Idea Book or used my teeth instead of a brick separator.
In my craziest moments... I threw out my 24x43 wheels/tires, which Rosco will never let me live down. (Okay, I have truly done "crazier" things, but some things are better left unsaid)
Believe it or not... I still believe in Santa Claus after all, he still brings me Lego.
If I were super-human... Hey, who says I'm not????? Believing is half the trick and the illusion is the other. BTWBS
More & Less:
- more free thinking thoughts and ideas, less conformity and standardization
- more support for the arts and education, less stupid and ignorant ppl
- more acceptance and tolerance, less racism, war and hate crimes
Rules I try to live by:
- If you truly believe in it, fight for it . . . .and trust you can win.
- Be honest with yourself but only with others that can handle the truth.
- Never tell "them" anything they can hold against you and never let the "suits" win.
Additional comments:
Thoughts that are never far from my mind . . .
Never bite the hand that feeds you, unless it keeps you from feeding yourself.
Once is a mistake, twice is a warning, three times is a habit.
Eventually I will get what I need, want and deserve (be it good or bad). Eventually you will get tired of hating me, and decide to join me on the dark side.
Looking back causes you to miss what is right in front of you.
Today may be your last chance.
