special for honormommy

since i don't know anyone to tag, i'm copping out of part of this, but i'll do the first half. the trick is that i already posted 30 things about me one time (http://i-am-a-hobbit.blogspot.com/2010/11/30-things.html), as well as a few of my favorite things (http://i-am-a-hobbit.blogspot.com/2008/04/few-of-my-favorite-things.html), so 11 more random things could be hard to come by. but i'll try. :)

11 Things
1. i wash my white socks in whatever color load i'm doing at the time. i really don't care if they stay white, and i go through them fast because i try to save my cute ones for when people are going to see them. plain white are cheaper.
2. if i won the lottery, i would go to oxford and get my master's in philology (shocker, i know).
3. when all this stressful craziness came up last week, i had just finished a book. and so i picked up 'les mis.' it's my comfort book.
4. i want a pet frog, but i'm also slightly scared of them cuz they're fast, plus also they might pee on me.
5. i hate the sound of whispering.
6. i love climbing things (trees, trails, climbing walls), but i hate coming down, cuz i might die.
7. i'm the slowest vegetable peeler in the world.
8. i'm usually not a brand shopper, but don't mess with my skippy (creamy) peanut butter, premium saltines, or honey maid grahams. also, don't name your son graham.

9. i've been watching the first season of 'better off ted' on netflix when i'm at hobbitsister's. naturally, i've developed a crush on ted. hobsis doesn't see it, saying he looks and walks like a ken doll. i say i can't help it: he was 38.

10. i'm allergic to beets, which makes me happy, because i hate beets.
11. i can't not have dessert. whether it's a cookie, applesauce, peaches, licorice, or 4 m&ms, i have to have something. i don't like the aftertaste of meat and potatoes.

Questions from HM
1. What is your favorite color? green. it might not be that easy being green, but green's the color of spring. and green can be cool and friendly-like. and green can be big like an ocean, or important like a mountain, or tall like a tree.
2. If you could teach a dog a new trick, what would it be? why on earth would i want to spend any more time with a dog than i have to?
3. Do you enjoy singing? How about just in the shower? of course i do! today my shower consisted of some awesome abba karaoke.
4. If you were a superhero, what would your superpower be? teleportation
5. Can you do a cartwheel? nope
6. What is your favorite sound? hm...that's a tough one. i think i'm going to go with wind in the trees. although baby giggles are pretty great. :)
7. What would you do with $27.56? sadly, i'm a saver. i'd probably stick it in the bank or buy something practical, like my meds.
8. Do you have any weird tricks? (i.e., double jointed? wiggle your nose?, etc.) i can cross my toes, but that's about it.
9. If you had to give up one of your five senses, which would it be and why? i'd say smell, but that means taste, too. but i feel like that would affect my life less than other things. maybe i'll just say taste, even though i'd really miss dark chocolate and my mom's spaghetti and apples.
10. Do you have a favorite Bible verse? What is it? that depends on my mood. i really like this one, though:
"Here is a trustworthy saying:
If we died with HIM,
we will also live with HIM;
if we endure,
we will also reign with HIM.
If we disown HIM,
HE will also disown us;
if we are faithless,
HE remains faithful,
for HE cannot disown HIMSELF." II Tim. 2:11-13
it's very comforting.
11. Which do you prefer: car, boat, or airplane? (money is no object) i'm gonna say airplane cuz then i get wherever i'm going faster, although i really like the whole sing-along in the car thing.

and sorry, honormommy, that's where i end.
