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! :-)

Hello Amy!

I'm tickled that you took the time to say hi -- especially since we seem to have so much in common! I read your profile also, and practically every single thing that you have in your interests, I would put in mine, if I had enough room. ;-)

I really don't know where to start, we have so many things to talk about! ;-)

I am 20, am "dresses only" and still live at home, but then you probably already know that! Before I got into Breyers, I collected GC horses like mad, and I still have my favorites boxed away. What are some of your favorite models?

Oooh, my room is mostly white, since we repainted 2 summers ago. I had a tough time choosing a color -- a terra verde/vintage 1930s green, or white, white, white, or white? Hmmm... ;-) You'd be amazed at how many different shades of white I had to choose from!

What is your favorite Jane Austen novel? What else do you like to read? Have you ever read any Christian fiction, or Robinson Crusoe?

~Lauren :-)

Hmm, my favorite GC model is probably the grey Arabian mare I sent in Blue Ribbon points to get. Her name is Kamira, and she came with a red ribbon halter. I never played with her much, because I knew if she got broken, I wouldn't be able to replace her. :)

My favorite Jane Austen novel is Pride and Prejudice. I've read parts of Persuasion and Emma, but I haven't had much chance lately for leisure reading, unfortunately.

I also look forward to talking with you more. God bless!

You aren't going to believe me when I tell you that I got that model too! I always saved up the points, and I sent away for a good many models, including the gray Arab mare, whom I named Swift. I still have her, as well as her red ribbon neck collar. I kept all the little cardboard cards, too. My favorite model was the light gray (white) Trakehner mare.

P&P and Emma are probably tied for first place with me. ;-) I've been too busy to read recently, too, but I did just get a few chapters read in Medieval Warfare. ;-)
