janeausten made me do it...

Because janeausten asked me to do this, you may blame her for my stupid answers. ;-)

The Rules: Each player of this game starts off with 10 weird things/habits/little known facts about yourself. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 10 weird habits/things/little known facts as well as state this rule clearly. At the end you need to choose 10 people to be tagged and list their names. No tagbacks.

1. I used to play the piano. We even used to have one when I was little, but I gave it up, because I didn't like to practice, and I didn't like the made-up, nonsensical songs I was given to learn. :-( Now I regret it, because I love music so much.

2. I used to hate history. It used to be boring, because I thought it was just dry facts and meaningless dates, but G.A. Henty changed all that. ;-) Now I'm unstoppable!! Mwhahahahaaaa!!!

3. I have never been asked out, gone on a date, held hands, or kissed anyone ever. And that's just they way I want it. I will never go out on a date, and I only want to hold hands with one man, and I want my first kiss to be at the altar.

4. I am dresses/skirts only. Meaning, I do not wear pants. (This is for religious reasons, since I do not believe it is Biblical for women to wear pants or shorts, which are, IMHO, basically men's clothing.) Deuteronomy 22:5 is one of the many verses supporting this.

5. I am/was completely homeschooled. Yup, that's right. I've never even so much as seen the inside of a public school. Surprised?

6. I collect Breyer model horses, and I re-paint the smaller ones as well. I'm not going to tell you how many I have, though...

7. I can't drive. I don't even have a learner's permit yet!

8. I still live at home with my parents and brother. Laugh at me if you will, but I don't believe in women living by themselves, unless they have no other options.

9. I've always wanted a horse and/or riding lessons, but living in the city, I'm lucky I've ridden the 3 times that I have. That never stopped me from buying up all the horse books I could get my hands on, though!!

10. (This one is really stupid, because I ran out of ideas) My favorite color is somewhat of a difficult question for me. I love colors, and I enjoy using them. If I had to choose, though, I would say green, but white for decorating, (my room is kind of Shabby Chic meets primitive), and black for clothing.

And I hereby tag:

Sorry that is not 10, but that's all I could manage! :-)

This is getting weird. I, too, was homeschooled and have a collection of Breyer horses. (They were banished to a shelf in my closet when I left for college.)

Did you have American Girl dolls by any chance?

Oh, and I forgot to mention. The Edmund Blair Leighton painting you have as your background? I have it as a poster--it's been hanging in my bedroom for years.

Really? That's neat! I adore this painting. It's so intrinsically romantic, and chivalrous. It just evokes such beautiful ideas of kings and queens, knights and ladies, of when men were good and brave, and women were gentle and feminine. *sigh* It just begs to tell a story...but then again, maybe it already does.

Oh, I think you need to read a few of my previous posts...lol ;-)
