TAG

First off, YAY. I have exactly 200 followers at this very moment. That is beyond amazing to me. Thank you to everyone who took the time to press the follow button and to all of you who take the time to comment on my posts. It means a lot, and I'm glad you all are here!!!

I also want to thank Beth Kemp, who has a cute writing blog called Thoughts from the Hearthfire, which you all should check out(--> She just wrote her 100th post?!?! How awesome is that? Woot). She just tagged me the other day, and I'm excited to do it and to pass it on.



Now, I have to give 10 random facts about myself and pass it on to 5 people. Here goes.

1. I used to name my cars. My first car was Carl; second one was Bryce. My current car doesn't have a name for some reason. 

2. When I was a teen, I hated the color pink. I was way too angsty for pink. Now I like it. Go fig.

3. I thought I would be a psychologist when I was growing up, but then I fell in love with books and that took over.

4. I like learning things. I am now known to prowl the non-fiction for interesting how to's.

5. I am knitting a quilt that never ends, which I think I mentioned before. It'll be made of 5x5 knit squares of every color I thought was cute while in the yarn aisle. Only Red Heart brand yarn so far, btw. 

6. I like street rods and car shows, and even drag races, but I know almost nothing about cars. 

7. I LOVE roller-coasters. The scarier, the higher, the faster, the better.  (I used to be weak-in-the-knees terrified, really until I was about 15).

8. I really like doing my nails with nail stamp art, but I can't stand it if I have chipped nails (or nails of uneven length at that). 

9. I love SKIP BO and Phase 10 (regular, Master's, and Twist...not Dice, though I do own it).

10. My favorite basketball related game is Knockout. Hands down. No contest. I can't not play knockout if it's going on. AMAZING. 

Okay, I tag:
E.R.King at Get Busy Writing
Sangu at Echoes of a Wayward Mind
Tiffany Garner at Victim of Writing
Meredith at Fairy Tales and Cappuccino
Mark Noce at Mark Noce Stories

Now to leave you with a song to write by, "Someone Like You" by Adele. A new <3. This video is especially cool because she talks about it before and recorded it in her own home.



Heads Up, I should have another book review up tomorrow :)

    (Grr Blogger's being a pain. Sorry if I end up commenting lots of times, it doesn't seem to be working!)

    Yay! A tag! I'll get on this soon, I promise.

    You named your cars? My dad did that, but they were all named Pepe. Lol I love roller coasters too.

    I appreciate you tagging me, Kelly! I can't imagine ever hating the color pink. When I was a baby, I liked it so much I cried until my mother put me in my dirty pink pj's. The blue ones just didn't cut it.
    It was great to get to know you better!

    Adele reminds me a lot of JK Rowling when she does interviews. Beautiful song.

    Hated pink - :D. So did my sister. I think her colour of choice was black. When she was a bit younger though, she loved it!

    Whenever you mention the knitted quilt, it makes me want to get back to knitting. Unfortunately, I've never tried a quilt and wouldn't known where to start.

    As for rollercoasters - I'm with you.

    I'm like you in regards to #1 & 2. Only I give my cars girl names. Rachel and Sasha. Although Sasha could be a boy's name.

    I did my 10 today. We are completely opposites on roller coasters :).

    Oh my goodness, I love Skip-Bo! An 87-year-old man in Wyoming taught it to me this summer (really). And I was hooked! Also, Adele is amazing. Just breathtaking. Thanks for tagging me!
