"100 truths"

You tagged me in it on facebook; I'll respond here:


1. Real me: Um, I am the real me.  What exactly are you asking for?  My name?  As Romeo said, "What's in a name?  A rose by any other word would smell as sweet."
2. Nickname(s):  I have so many.  Kiwi is one of them.
 3. Zodiac Sign: Gemini
 4. Male or female: I'm a female.
5.Elementary School: I went to different ones; I moved part-way through.
6. High School: Been there, done that.
7. College: I went to the University of Alaska Southeast for a while.  But I didn't especially like it there.  Hopefully 'down south' next year, haha.
8. Hair color: Widely debated
9. Tall or short: Really short.
 11. Sweats or Jeans: Jeans
 12. Phone or Camera: Phone.  Although, my phone has been missing for a week now.  Le sigh.

20. Been in a relationship: Romantically speaking, no.  I am waiting for 'the one.'

25. First award: I think it was probably for writing.26. First crush:  This boy in kindergarted; I think his name was Adam.  Isn't it funny that I really don't even remember anymore?  I've never really been all that boy crazy.

CURRENTLY


67. Eating:  Why would I be eating right now?
68. Drinking: I could drink some tea or water, if I was thirsty, but I'm not.
69. Listening:  My family's chatter.

70. Sitting/Laying: I'm sitting.  At my computer.
71. Plans for today: Well, today is kind of over...
72. Waiting:  I'm waiting for my best friend to freaking come home for winter break already.  Stupid 'higher education.'
 YOUR FUTURE:


73. Want kids?:  As many as possible (if I find the right man and it's what God has in mind for me)!
74. Want to get married?:  Well, yes, if that's what I'm supposed to do with my life, I would really like to be married someday.
75. Career:  Homemaker?
  
 YOUR LOVE LIFE:


76 Lips or eyes:  Eyes
77. Shorter or taller: Taller.  It shouldn't be hard.
78. Romantic or spontaneous:  Definitely romantic.  I mean, spontaneous is okay, if used sparingly and when appropriate.
 81. Hook-up or relationship:   Relationships.  I don't really think "hook-ups" are what God had in mind for us. 
82. Looks or personality: Personality is really, really important to me, but then, honestly, so is attraction, which, technically, isn't always based on looks.  I mean to say, that if I wasn't attracted to someone, even if they had a great personality, I probably wouldn't marry them.  Of course, the opposite is true.  I wouldn't marry someone solely because I was attracted to them, either.


HAVE YOU EVER:


83. Lost glasses/contacts: Surprisingly, I don't think I have.
86. Killed somebody: Of course not!
87. Broken someone's heart: I definitely wouldn't think so.

  DO YOU BELIEVE IN:


90. Yourself:  Yeah, for the most part I do.
91. Miracles: Absolutely.
92. Love at first sight: Not really.  I mean, I love everyone, automatically, because that's what we are called to do - "Love thy neighbor as thyself."  But in a romantic way, or as a future spouse, I would definitely have to get to know them.
93. Heaven: Definitely.
94. Santa Clause:  Why would you even ask that?!
95. Sex on the first date: Never.
96. Kiss on the first date:  Not for me, personally.  I'd rather save that for a relationship with a little more commitment.
 TRUTHFULLY:


97. Is there one person you want to be with right now: Not romantically, but I *do* really wish that a lot of my friends were home from college.
98. Do you know who your real friends are: Yeah, I do.
99. Do you believe in God:  Yes, I absolutely do.
100. Post as 100 truths?  After all that work?  You bet I will, mister!

Fiddle-dee-dee

I've been pretty out of touch for the last little while, mainly because our family was really involved in putting on a production of R&H's Cinderella.  It was really quite a lot of fun.  Mom was the stage manager.  Dad was in it (he danced and was a cobbler's apprentice) and helped with the set pieces.  I worked stage left, keeping track of the props, helping the kids, checking costumes, making sure nobody missed their cues, et cetera.  My feet got really sore.  Ashleigh was Queen Constantina:

Constantina Charlotte Ermintrude Gwindyvere Maisie Marguerite Anne

We all had a lot of fun; it's kind of sad that it's over, especially for Ashleigh.  But there shall always be other plays, I suppose...

Me and Clara.  She was a baby mouse -- so cute!

To tie up some loose ends, for Halloween, I ended up whipping together an angel costume.  It seemed appropriate since I was teaching Sunday School that day.  Oh, and by the way, remember that blue and bronze hat?  Voila:


I finished it about a month ago.  Crocheting is now going very well for me.  Just, please, ignore the fact that this is a terrible photograph of me.  I've also made another hat, and I'm working on making Ashleigh a hat.  Hers is a pretty, light blue, with a dark blue flower on it.  Maybe I'll be able to get a photo of that when it's finished.  After that, I'm making a scarf.  It's getting cold around here, so these things are necessary!

I went to the midnight release of Harry Potter seven; did you see it?

And with that... I'm going to watch the Music Man with Zac.
