One of those "Random Mood" posts...you know how it goes.

I just wanted to jot down a quick post to explain...

a) Why do I not answer comments right away? I've been really busy...you know, being a student and all. I think that I'm going to really love 9th grade especially because this is the year that I got into a British Lit. class. All that to say, I'm going to be incommunicado Sunday-Friday. Sorry!
But never fear, I've got all of Saturday to catch up!

b) well, I think that "a) " pretty much explained it all!

And now to explain the large pictures of redness above: I have taken knitting back up after a long time. It's partly because I fell in love with the 1940's, WWII and old movies and found this pattern for a lovely *1940's style* beret. I'll try to post pictures of it when I take them during my huge amounts of free time! ;)

P.S. I've put a poll up in the sidebar...please answer honestly! :)

What's your favorite time of year?

Winter, definitely. (Hey, if you lived in Texas, that's what you'd say, too!)

Do you ever talk to yourself?

Yes. In the store, especially.

Do you have a favorite treat you like to buy on occasion?

Hmmm. I can't remember the last time I bought myself a real treat! I guess that the closest thing would be make-up.

If by literal, you mean that it literally is God's word, yes. It is also infallible as it was inspired by God.

I've never been into sports...if anything, I'd have to say archery.

I have an MP3...and it's black and blue.

From Meg...

If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?


LONDON, ENGLAND!!! Then I'd go anywhere in England. ( I bet that's one you'd never have guessed!)

If you could go to any fictional place, where would you go?


Cair Paravel, The Lantern Waste, Calormen

Do you love to write or do you just like writing? Or do you write at all?


I'm variable. Sometimes I'll be inspired, sometimes not. You can always tell if I'm inspired because that's when a post will appear.

What do you want to be when you’re a grown up?

I'd like to be a professional violinist...until I get married and have kids. :)

Favorite animal?

I love the cheetahs in Narnia. They're just so majestic. Of course, I wouldn't be too excited about meeting one from our world face-to-face.

Favorite song?

Ummmm... I think that I'll have to say "The Call" from Prince Caspian...it's perfect and really summarizes the entire feeling of the movie.

Do you like school?


Generally. I don't like math, but other than that...

Are you a people person because I’m getting the idea that you are?

Well, I live with a bunch of *guess* people, and I haven't gone mad yet so...yes.

Do you like to talk?


I do. My best conversations are usually with myself, though.


Favorite food?


Pasta! Then French Dip Sandwiches!


Hobbies?


Knitting, drawing volumes of the same nameless girl wearing different dresses, sewing.


Favorite author?


Charles Dickens, Sir A. Conan Doyle.


Favorite weapon?


(I'm NOT copying you, Meg!) Susan's bow and arrows. And quiver.


Is this a fun tag or are you getting bored?

That, I think, is a rather stupid question. No answer. (Hey wait a minute...)


Do you like Hannah Montana and all those girly people and movies like Highschool Musical?


I've never seen it, but from what I have seen floating around the world...no.

What are you scared of?


Snakes and heights and empty spaces and the dark and...(just kidding, I'm just scared of snakes and heights.)

Favorite flower?

I've got to say roses and daffodils.

Do you always use the same password or do you use different ones?

no comment!

A slightly dazed one, due to the light that the computer screen is emitting from the computer.

Color of your eyes?

Dark Brown.


That was fun!

Here's a picture I found on Awel's blog (I think) and really liked...I call it "The Dawn Treader"
