My friend Jaye
tagged me in the Sunflower Blogger Award. Basically, I list 11 random
facts about me, answer 11 questions, and tag 11 more bloggers to
participate. (I'm not sure I know 11 bloggers, and several of the ones I
do know were already tagged, so I'll have to cheat on that, but
anyway.) I've never done anything like this before, after all, my blog
has only been around about a year, but it sounds like fun, so here goes!
11 Random Facts
1. I hate spicy food. I don't like it when my mouth feels like it's on fire and I have to take a drink after each bite.
2. I love kids. If there's a baby in the room, I'm sure to be hovering around.
3. When I was little, I hated for stories to be about a boy, or about some one older than me, or something that was generally considered to be for boys or simply wasn't girly (action/adventure movies such as Star Wars for example). Now I'd much rather watch a superhero movie than Pride and Prejudice. And, quite honestly, I think most chick flicks are boring.
4. Ever since I saw the play Annie, I have loved orphan stories. My favorite childhood game was "run away from the orphanage," though I also loved to play pioneer.
5. I sing Disney songs all the time, and constantly respond with a quote from Bad Lip Reading.
6. I once had two turtles: Franklin and D. W. We discovered Franklin was a girl when she laid eggs . . . that she promptly ate.
7. I'm scared of snakes and salamanders and anything else slithery.
8. I have had more grand ideas that never came about than I can count. One was digging an underground playhouse with a plastic snow shovel when I was five or six. And despite many attempts, I still haven't managed to make a movie.
9. I own several hundred books, and desperately need another bookshelf, but there are still books I want that I don't have. (Of course, some of those aren't available yet, like all of Ilyon Chronicles and the rest of the Firmament Series.)
10. I scream on roller coasters.
11. I "blame" the Loudermilk family for the way my family's life is now. We met them when we started homeschooling and they dragged us into politics and got us into making our own bread. Though we are now involved in a very intense congressional campaign, I don't regret how God has used them in our lives.
My answers to the 11 questions
1.What is your favorite kind of tree?
I'm not really into trees, but I suppose it would have to be any tree you could put a tree house in. I would love to have a tree house.
2.Do you prefer tea or coffee or neither?
In general neither, but lately I've been drinking tea while I write and I kind of like doing that now.
3.What is your favorite social media site?
I'm not real into social media, but Facebook is where I get to see pictures of babies I know. :)
4.What is the last sentence you wrote in a story?
That would be from a random short story I'm writing.
She peeked at her little brothers Jack and Henry in the next bed.
5.Who is your favorite historical figure and why?
That's tough, but I think I'll pick George Washington because he was a man of God and the father of our country. I could tell many interesting stories about him, but I don't have room here.
6.What is your biggest pet peeve?
People calling America a democracy. We're not, we're a representative republic.
7.What’s your favorite dessert?
Ice Cream.
8.If you could live in any time period (past, present, or future) what would you choose?
The early 1800s. I would miss modern conveniences (a lot), but it's a really neat time in American history.
9.What is your favorite book to re-read (besides the Bible)
Probably A Wrinkle in Time. I've read it a ton. Though I've also read Narnia just as much.
10.What genre do you read most?
I think fantasy, but I also read a good bit of historical fiction and some science fiction. My taste in genres is pretty diverse.
11.What is the best movie you have ever watched?
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. I watched it so much I had the entire thing memorized, so it's clear I love it.
I can't think of many bloggers, but here's a few.
