Insert a long sigh here....

Okay, I'm done with tags for a while:

Faithful Follower:

1. I'm super super super super super excited about the Jan/Feb issue of KOF!!!
.2. Let's see... You remind me of the movie Chronicles of Narnia... probably because you love it so much...
.3. I'm going to wrestle you in banana cream pudding. How's that sound?
4. 5'9" is so tall! It's simply not fair!
5. I think it had something to do with your lovely denim skirt that I am totally envious of. : )
6. The dove - a quiet reminder of the peace of God and his ways.
7. What is your favorite subject in school?
.8. Your transparency- the fact that you are willing to share your heart.
9. Oopssss.... I just realized that I put the same thing twice, so I'm going to make up something totally random here... What book character you remind me of!!!! Okay, so you remind me of Samwise in The Lord of the Rings.

Judi:

1. You are amazing at yelling at people over the email!!!
2. Hmm, this is really really hard for me. You remind me of the movie/book Emma (Jane Austen).
3. Lime!!!!
4. Hrrrr (that is my growling noise) I can't think today!!! How about something about apple jello (which sounds nasty to me)
5. That you are totally fun!
6. Flamingo. I have no idea why - that was just the animal that came to mind.
.7. There are actually two: First, how old are you? Second, do you like pink?
8. I love your writing and the fact that you push me to post *embarrassed grin*
.9. Book character: You actually remind me of one of my characters, Mark James.

OKAY!!! THAT IS IT FOR THE TAGS!!!!!!!!!!!! Everybody better give me a break for a while.

On a more pleasant note, I had some of the most exhilarating moments of my life this Friday. I went to a speech and debate Round Robin and timed. : ) What a blast....

Goodness Gracious, I'm Tagged AGAIN!!!`

No, REALLY! I DID get tagged again, by Judi, this time, who has been frantically working on NaNoWriMo. It's a different sort of tag as before - this time YOU decide if you're tagged : ) I'll post the instructions and the game and you can tell me if you want to play.

If you leave me a comment on this post, in the next post I do, I'll write the following things about you:

1. I'll respond with something random about you.
2. I'll tell you which song or movie you remind me of.
3. I'll pick a flavor of jello to wrestle you in.
4. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me.(if possible. If not, I'll say something that only makes sense to me.)
5. I'll tell you my first memory of you.
6. I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.
7. I'll ask you something I've always wondered about you.
8. I'll tell you my favorite thing about you.
9. I'll tell you my favorite thing about you.
10. If you play, please post this on your own blog (if you have one : )

On a different note, I have about a bazillion pages of Chemistry to read tonight (Moles... moooooles!) because tomorrow is our homeschool group's Christmas party and I'm running childrens' games!

I tag Judi, when she's done with her current tag game, and Never-Again, and FaithfulFollower

Whose Idea Was It to Play Tag Over Cyberspace, Anyway?

I've been tagged. Here are some things about me:

I am: eccentric.

I know: that I am made the way I am for a purpose.

I have: always loved chocolate.

I wish: it wasn't overcast.

I hate: being looked down on.

I miss: almost every ball I'm supposed to hit. :)

I fear: messing everything up.

I feel: like singing.

I hear: very little. My brothers are napping, so I'm supposed to be quiet.

I smell: lunch.

I crave: peanut butter sometimes.

I search: my brain, trying to find where I left that verse.

I wonder: where the phrase 'in a pickle' comes from. (I've been told that it maybe has to do with baseball, but I'm not sure yet)

I regret: as little as possible.

I love: Jesus!

I am not: an angry person.

I believe: there is someone who loves me more than life itself who stands waiting in the heavens.

I dance: a very, very, very little bit.

I sing: in harmony! (and often)

I cry: when something touches my heart (which is also often)

I don't always: clean my room (sorry, Mom. I did this morning)

I fight: not against flesh and blood, but against that which is unseen.

I write: all the time.

I win: at Speed!

I lose: my mind sometimes.

I never: eat caramel with braces like some (ahem) other people I know.

I always: smile when I see people.

I confuse: other people when I use strange words (like effervescent, pulchritudinous, chintzy, splendiferous, or chimaera... all of which are real words, by the way)

I listen: to Christian music, as a general rule.

I can usually be found: at church more than once a week.

I am scared: of making a fool of myself (which is why I end up doing that as often as I do)

I need: to do Chemistry homework.

I am happy about: just about everything. (All of you who don't know me in person, I'm just about always happy)

I imagine: what I will be like when I am older.
