Pretty much I have to list 11 random things about myself, then answer the 11 questions Piccola asked, then tag four bloggers, and then list 11 of my own questions that said tag bloggers have to answer on their blog, along with the 11 random things about themselves.

What? That was definitely the most simplest way to word that.

Anyway.

Here goes nothing.

1. I am claustrophobic. Like, really. I hate caves and I hate being buried in the sand at the beach. And also elevators. And crowds. It’s not very cool. But also adds a little thrill to life. I just love ending the day with a sense of accomplishment when I successfully ride the elevator without having a panic attack.
2. I’m a Doctor Who fanatic. Seriously, it’s pretty bad. For the record, David Tennant was the best Doctor, but I love them all. And Donna is my favorite of the companions. And I may or may not be in the process of decorating my room in Doctor Who. What? No I haven’t ordered a Dalek comfortor…
3. I have a pet crawfish. Most of you already know this. But what you don’t know is that it’s making super weird noises right now. Seriously, it’s really weird. It’s clucking at me.
4. I don’t like eggs and I don’t like hotdogs. But if you put ketchup on them, which I also don’t like, I’ll eat them. Weird? I’d say so.
5. I hate coffee. Yuck, yuck, yuck.
6. I also hate soccer. Worst. Sport. Ever. And putting ketchup on it doesn’t help.
7. Recently I’ve become completely fascinated with Vincent Van Gogh and even have his painting, Starry Night, as my computer’s wallpaper.
8. I’m pretty much totally afraid of the dark. So God forbid that the electricity fails while I’m in an elevator.
9. I have really disliked Wendys ever since they burnt my burger when I was, like, 9. Haven’t eaten there since.
10. One of my new favoritest shows in Parks and Recreation. Seriously, I’m totally addicted to that show and have watched almost all four seasons in the last month. I have no idea how I will survive until September when season 5 stars.
11. I’m very angry that Pluto isn’t a planet anymore. I think it was mean and unjust and really, really stupid of them to say he wasn’t. I totally need a shirt that proclaims that I support Pluto.

Ta-da! That took a while. I’m not good of thinking of random things about myself like that in front of a crowd. Gosh Picco, way to put me in the spotlight.

Anyway. Here are my answers to Picco’s questions.

1. What was the first CD/record you bought?

Ummmm I think it was Jump 5. You know, “Spinnin’ around, I got a funny feeling.” Of course, I was all like “Yep. That’s called nausea.” But now that I think about it, I’m pretty sure she was singing about stalking a guy she liked.

2. Christian Bale or Leonardo DiCaprio? Choose wisely…

Christian Bale, DUH.

3. If you were shrunk to the size of a pencil and put in a blender, how would you get out? I was Googling weird interview questions and that actually was one of them.

I think it’s cheating to Google questions. Cheater cheater pumpkin eater, PICCO. Anyway. I wouldn’t climb out. I’d make myself a nice little home in there.

4.What was your first word?

I’m pretty sure it was “bacon”.

5. Pepsi or Coke?

Coke. GOSH Pepsi is GROSS.

6. If you had a million dollars how would you spend it?

I’d get a house and have a bookshelf that spins into another room installed. Also, I’d get a black schnauzer. And a mini cooper. And two plane tickets to get you and Marie down here.

7. What’s your favorite breakfast food?

I hate breakfast food. Today I had chocolate covered strawberries for breakfast.
But I love bacon so I guess I’ll say that.

8. Do you think we’ve really been to the moon?

It’s all a conspiracy. Also, both Elvis and his son-in-law, Michael Jackson, actually moved to Mars.

9. What’s the deal with “I before E?”

It makes no sense and any time you actually think about using it, it’s a word that doesn’t follow that rule. So really, just remember how to spell crap because that rule isn’t going to help you at all.

10. Deaf or blind?

I’d rather be blind. Mostly because I’m a music fanatic. Then again, it would be absolutely tragic to never see the stars again, and I already know quite a bit of Sign Language…
I’ll choose option C — neither.

11. So no one told you life was gonna be this way?

Actually, someone did and I was all like “Sweet. This is gonna be one heck of a ride.”

Wow Piccola, you’re really weird.

Anyway.

Now for the people I’m tagging. Now y’all, you have to do it or Santa Claus will come after you with a giant stick and probably will stab you in the eye.

Taylor – Self Esteem Fund

Mom – Our Blessed Arrows

Marie – Adventures in a Grown Up World

Annnnd…ummm…Piccola — Spoonlighting. Again.
See Picco? Even my online social life sucks. I’ve listed one of my best friends, my mom, and two people who I know over the internet who were already tagged, including the person who tagged me.

Marie, I know you’ve already been tagged but you’re so awesome that you’re getting tagged again. Woot!

Picco and Marie, I guess you can just answer these questions in the comments.

If you don’t evil Santa will come after you, too.

The questions are….

1. Pizza or cheese burger?
2. If you could visit any place in the world, where would it be?
3. Unicorn or Narwhal?
4. What is your favorite TV show?
5. iPhone or Android?
6. Who is going to win the 2012 Presidential election?
7. Why does bark smell so weird?
8. Which soda is best?
9. An even better question; Which bear is best?
10. Who’s the best band?
11. What’s up with origami anyway?

The end.

My awesome friend, Katy, tagged me about a week ago. The rules went something like this:

1. Go to page 77 of your manuscript.
2. Go to line 7.
3. Copy the next 7 lines/paragraphs.
4. Tag 7 other writers to do the same.

But the thing is…I haven’t written since last July.

Yeah it’s pretty much totally sad.

I just realized that I didn’t work well alone when it came to writing.

Or, umm, anything.

I don’t work well alone.

Anyway.

So I kind of shoved that onto a shelf in the back of my closet.

Ha, no not really. The manuscript for the book my previously mentioned awesome friend and I were writing is actually in a drawer in my dresser.

Anyway.

So instead, I am bringing back the seventh draft that I never posted from my blog.

Dun dun dun DUN!

Sorry Katy. I hope this is okay.

I started writing this post back in 2009 after I returned from a Thanksgiving camping trip with our church and friends.

It was incredibly incredible, to put it mildly. Okay, let me not get carried away with myself.

It was a 4 day camping trip at St. Andrews state park in Panama City, Fl. Our spot was at the edge of the beach, it was really cool. We went with a huge group of almost 60 people. My great friends; Victoria, Spencer, and Sarah, and their awesome families were all there, and I met their friends and made good friends with them. We were always together, Sarah and I arm-in-arm for most of it, even through football.

My family stayed in a trailer, but I slept with my friends – Victoria, Sarah, and Bethany – after the first night in their tent.(I asked too late the first night) It was cold the first night, and a certain lovely friend of mine drank hot chocolate a bit too late and had to go to the bathroom twice, so Sarah and I had to go with her. It was, to put it mildy, cold. I think our friendship strenghtened that night.

Well, there are some pictures, but I figured I should save some for the end.

Y’all should be proud of me for not going through and changing half of what I said. I can’t believe how much my writing has progressed in the past three years. And…yeah.

TRANSITION

I’m quite sad I never finished this post, but the memory is still quite alive in my memory. All the silly, quirky things that happened during the trip are coming to mind as I write this. Such great memories!

Anyway, that’s that! I actually don’t know any other writers besides she who tagged me so I won’t be tagging anyone, but I will be sending a great big shout out to Katy. Make sure to go check out her blog and follow her! She’s always pointing out great books and having fun giveaways!

Here a review on my favorite book.

My favorite book is Eragon, by Christopher Paolini.

Eragon is about a 16 year old boy, named Eragon, who finds a dragon egg in the Spine, the large, some say haunted, woods while hunting. The legacy of Dragon Riders is being restored as Eragon and Saphira, his dragon, go on a dangerous journey to avenge Eragon’s uncle’s death with an old man named Brom. Eragon is constantly being chased by servants of the evil king, Galbatorix, who is boiling with rage, and feels threatened with coming of the new Dragon Rider. Eragon ends up meeting an elf named Arya, a strange young man, named Murtagh, and dreadful secrets that change Eragons life. Join Eragon in this great and adventurous book as he tries to restore hope of a better life in Alagasiea.

In this book I feel like I’m in the book with Eragon. I have always loved fantasy and Christopher Paolini’s best selling book bring fantasy to the extreme. I recommend this to all who love read.

You and Aaron are to number by their divisions all the men in Israel twenty years old or more who are able to serve in the army…
