Tag

Yes...another tag. I've seen this one about ten times in the last few days on all the blogs I follow in my dashboard. ^^

And it's for this lovely award... (I actually think it's really pretty ^^)



Here are the rules...

1) Do a post about the person who awarded you, and their blog.
2) Give the award to 5 of your favorite blogs, give a reason, and leave a comment telling them they have been awarded.
3) Answer the 10 random questions.
4) Have fun!
I was awarded by Emily Shae and JT and Emily.
Emily Shae--I love your blog! Your design is so pretty, and your posts are full of fun, yet once in a while, there's a serious one thrown in just to balance things out and shade in your character a bit more.
JT--I love being a Warrior of Light. You remind me constantly who this life is all about, so thanks for that. :)
Emily--*Grins* the font used consistantly through your blog is one of my favorites. Isn't it called the King and Queen Font? (at least on my laptop, it is ^^) And besides, your posts are so interesting, and your siblings are so cute. ^^ And I love the snowmen. :]
1) Have you ever ridden an elephant? Not that I can remember, no.
2) Have you ever eaten squid? Are...you...kidding...me. No. Way. *thinks then gulps* actually, I might have eaten it when I was in China nine years (or so) ago. I ate chicken legs, and perhaps squid.
3) What is something crazy you have done with your best friend? Well, at my birthday party with my bestest friend in the world and two amazing friends (Jenna and Jordyn), we stayed up until like three o'clock, eating cold noodles (and throwing them everywhere), squashing bugs, and talking (and talking...and talking...). Also, two Halloweens ago, the same bestest friend and I went trick-or-treating while singing Give Me Your Eyes. That night, we stayed up until about five in the morning. Which is crazy. ^^
4) Have you ever held an alligator? Uh...no.
5) Have you ever let a snake slither through your fingers? What Kind? Yes, a mere gardner snake. When I was younger, I was obsessed with snakes. I even let them bite me.
6) What is your first and foremost dream in life? Glorify God and continue to grow closer to him. And, of course, I wouldn't mind publishing a book or two.
7) What is your dream vacation? England. Hopefully it's long enough to obtain an English accent. ^^
8) What is the funniest movie you have ever seen? Night At The Musuem 2 or The Apple Dumpling Gang.
9) What is your favorite song? Agh...okay, I'll list several of my favorite songs. Fireflies by Owl City, What Faith Can Do by Kutless, You Belong With Me and Teardrops on My Guitar by Taylor Swift, Again by Firefly, and Whatever You're Doing by Sanctus Real.
10) If you could change the world in one way, what would you do? Ohmiword...I want to change the world in so many ways. Probably say bring everyone to Christ, but everyone else is saying that, so I'm going to say stop all poverty and bad trafficking (as in drugs and worse).

Alright, so now I'm going to award 5 people (don't be obligated to do this if you don't want to, and I'm trying to tag people who, to my knowledge, have not been tagged yet):

Abigail Kraft, 'cause you're so darn awesome. ^^

Marissa, for the same reason.

Jake, 'cause you're always willing to read Midnight and critique honestly; plus, when I need something to read, you send me Call of the King (Ash'del is SO awesome ^^).

Seth, 'cause you're writing is so much fun to read. :]

Chloe, 'cause you told me about... *clears throat*. 'Course I won't say what you told me...But thanks. ^^

Namarie,

My Life is Average and Quirky Thursdays

Today, I found My Life Is Average and I was laughing harder then I have in a while.
Here's why (read them, they're hilarious :D):

Last year, my friend wrote "Help. Ninja's killed my family. Need money for Ninja lessons" on the back of my binder. I still use the binder because I love it. Today, I had a binder check. When my binder was returned to me there was 6 cents inside with the note "For your noble and worthy cause" written to me from my teacher. I love my school. MLIA

Today, I shouted "Hey look! I'm INVISIBLE!" at people walking past me when they weren't paying attention. When they turned to look I pretend to try and find where the voice came from too so that they would be confused. It worked. MLIA

Today, I was writing a paper on my laptop. As I used spell check, it asked to fix my last name. Annoyed, I clicked "Ignore". After handing in my paper, I got it back with a question mark in the top corner. Ends up I spelled my last name wrong. Never again will I question Spell Check. MLIA

Today, my son's teacher told me he spent all recess on top of the jungle gym commanding the other kid's to do his bidding. I told the teacher I would discipline him. I actually took him to McDonalds because all 5 year old dictators deserve a happy meal. MLIA.

Today I got a 66 on a calculus exam. I turned the paper upside-down and felt a little better. MLIA

Today, I was walking with a friend on our way to class. We were discussing how many na's there are in the bat man song. As we were doing this we kept going, na-na-na-na-na-na my teacher jumped around the corner and yelled,"BATMAN!" Then jumped back. New favorite teacher. MLIA

Today, while driving to school, the Spice Girls "Wannabe" came on the radio. I began singing loudly and dancing in my seat when I pulled up to a red light. I looked to my right and saw my physics teacher,also singing loudly to the song. We made eye contact. It was awkward. We are both guys. MLIA.

Today, I renamed my iPod "This ship" just for the pleasure of seeing the phrase "This ship is syncing" MLIA

Today, instead of taking notes in math, I decided to draw the back of the girl who sat in front of me's head. When the class was over I showed it too her, she showed me her notes which consisted of the head of the guy in front of her. MLIA

Today, my dad and I walked into the hospital with flowers for my mom who has just broken some ribs. The receptionist asked my dad "new baby?" he responded "no, I've always been this big." and continued walking. The look on her face was priceless. MLIA

Yesterday, I noticed that in the back of my latin class there is a locked closet. Next to it is a glowing red button. So today, I put a sign up over it saying "push for Narnia" with a big arrow under it. My Latin teacher gave me a high five. MLIA

Today, I had my cell phone taken from me at school. Why, you ask? It rang, and ignited my entire class into "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey. Losing my phone was worth seeing my teacher power slide with an air guitar solo. MLIA.

Today, my phone vibrated very loudly in Algebra 2. Just as our teacher looked up to give an accusation, the shy boy in the back says at the top of his lungs, "Oh my gosh! That bee is HUGE!" and points out the window where it 'just flew away'. It's always the quiet ones who are the real heroes. MLIA

Today, in school the teacher had asked us a question and knowing the answer I put up my hand. All of a sudden the teacher ran over and high fived me. I was really shocked until I remembered I had wrote "High 5 here!" on my hand earlier. Way to go me. MLIA.

Today, after reading several MLIA's on the battle between Yahoo and Google, I decided to participate. I decided to type in "Dinosaurs are" Yahoo said "Dinosaurs are not real" Google said "Dinosaurs aren't extinct they're just hiding". I think we all know who won this round. MLIA.

Today, in Spanish class, my friend and I was passing a note and the teacher caught us. Upon discovering that we had written the entire note in Spanish she gave us extra credit instead of detention. MLIA

*laughs* There are so many more side-splitting ones. I would post them, but I gotta get off the computer.

One last thing (I don't want to have to make a whole new post...don't like to do more than one per day ^_^)...Marissa over at A Peek Into My Life is the host of... *drum-roll*

Quirky Thursdays! *applauds* Quirky Thursday is one day every week in which we answer quirky questions in order to get to know each other better! :] I think it's a great idea, so here is the first question... (I rephrased the statement so as to make it a question)

What is one of Your Favorite drinks,

from a restaurant/Starbucks/a homemade drink/etc. etc?

Ooh...toughie...ANY kind of coffee (black, cream-and-sugured-unbelievably, latte, mocha, iced, anything. Love it!), or soda. I rarely have any variation of either of those, so whenever I have either its a huge treat. ^_^

Well that was fun! :] Now I have to get off the computer...

...but just one more last thing. :D Today, I had a soccer game, and it was pouring rain out, but I was excited, because how romantic is playing soccer in the rain? (wow...that was a run-on sentence...apologies) Okay, maybe not so romantic, but it's so much fun. It enhances the game to pieces. Anyways, the game got canceled. So yeah, here I am typing on my laptop rather then out in the beautiful rain running my tail off...and freezing my fingers into extinction.

Yeah, now I'm getting off for real. ^_^
