Ten Random Things.

#1. I am madly in love with dark chocolate, but wasn't two and a half months ago. (I don't know how or when it happened, but it did).


#2. Scrapbooking is my calling.


#3. I'm learning how to sing a song in Czech for a Personal Progress (program designed for girls in Young Women's) project.


#4. I own nothing from Hollister which is strange considering my age and my neighborhood. (Wow, that's...shocking!)(Gotta love Elf)


#5. Red is a horrible color on people. In my opinion, anyway.


#6. If ever I'm in a bad mood, show up at my house with a root beer float (two scoops of vanilla!) in one of those plastic, colored, wine glasses.


#7.

#8. Ha! My mom just ran into the family room and told my younger bro and sis to change the TV because Spongebob started. Ha! Wow, she looks serious...


#9. The Seer and the Sword is the most wonderful story in the world. I think I like it even more than the Twilight books, only because I read it first.

#10. I play the tenor sax. Amazingly, a lot of people don't know that about me



*I've never actually been to Chick-Fil-A.
**Make sure you read the post that follows this one, too.

3, 4, 5...6?

Part 3 : Favorite Board Game.

I really like to play Life, Connect Four, Sorry, Clue...the usual. Sorry especially. It always makes me laugh when someone says "SORRY" and doesn't mean it. Most of the people I play with say "sorry" sarcastially anyways, so it's not very different from real life, but I still enjoy the fun of it. Mary tells me that I don't know how to play Clue properly since I don't know "the strategy", but I am perfectly fine playing the way every other normal person in the world does. Connect Four is a simple game of optical illusions. If you can get the lighting and shadow in precisely the right spot, you can trick anyone into putting their piece where it will give you an advantage. And it's over quickly. Short and sweet.


Part 4 : Favorite Actor and Band/Singer

Ummmmm, my favorite actor right now is Patrick Dempsey, courtesy of Enchanted. I just love him to pieces! And my favorite singer is Carrie Underwood. I've been out of the country loop since this summer, but I'm back in. Back home. I'm a die-hard country fan, I just needed a vacation. It felt weird, though, listening to popular music and learning lyrics to songs that EVERYBODY knows and not just you because you have your own type of music.


Part 5 : What Movie Are You Dying to See?

Right this red hot minute, or tonight with a couple of friends? For the right now part, ummm, Hairspray. And tonight, I would watch Enchanted with Mary. Because I owe her one. <3.

Part 6: Just kidding. No part 6.

Like the Stars

To answer part two of James' meme, the easiest song to get stuck in my head is a song called Like the Stars (you can listen to part of it here). It is on a CD of songs written by Jenny Phillips, an inspirational singer and member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. She realeases a new album at the beginning of every year that corresponds to the Young Women's (a program for girls aged 12-18) theme. This coming year's theme is: "Be steadfast and immovable, always abounding in good works" (Mosiah 5:15). Some of the other songs on this CD are very good at getting stuck in my head, but this one especially. That's probably a good thing too, being that it is a song devoted to God and our want to be close to him. Like the stars.

TV Show

I was tagged by Mary, James, and Torie for the Favorite Childhood TV Show meme. Awesome! I love kid's television. Something about it is innocent yet very thought-provoking for both kids and not-so kids. One of my favorite shows (there are many) is Bananas in Pajamas. That was one show that I did watch as a kid, but didn't as I got older. I'm not sure why I fell in love with the singing pair, but I did. Hey, what can you do?

Another classic was Blue's Clues, but when they sacked Steve and added a puppet Blue segment the show lost some of its charm. I am very sure I would still be watching it to this day were it not for the change in characters.

One that I do watch to this day is Arthur. Yes, Mary, I copied you again, but what's not to love about a little family of aardvarks living in a small town, experiencing real life problems faced by real kids. Genius!
