Believe it or not, these questions help us learn about each other and can actually help us make better characters. If you can't answer them all, that's fine.

1. What is your favorite color? Why?
2. How do you laugh?
3. What is your favorite "abstract"? (rain, wind, steel, grass, dew, darkness, stars etc) Why?
4. What helps you look at your troubles? (other than God)
5. What is symbolic to you?
6. What song inspires you the most?

(Please add to this list of questions)


1. What is your favorite color? Why?
Purple, blue in a close second. Because it is majestic, beautiful, deep, meaningful, and symbolic.

2. How do you laugh?
I have a low, quiet laugh but if something's really funny, I snort. Yeah, really bad.

3. What is your favorite "abstract"? (rain, wind, steel, grass, dew, darkness, stars etc) Why?
That's really hard for me, but it's probably darkness, rain and stars. I know, I said favorite. Sorry. I like darkness, it's whole, powerful and strong. Rain is beautiful (and wind, although I didn't mention that one). Stars help me see how little my troubles are.

4. What helps you look at your troubles? (other than God)
Which leads to this question. Stars really help me put things in perspective. Strange, but true.

5. What is symbolic to you?
Dawn, dusk, night, and fire. Dawn and dusk because they symbolize hope, darkness, pain, and joy. Night because it represents pain and sorrow. Fire because it is strong, and consuming, like God. Although sometimes painful, the end results after fire are beneficial.

Can't wait to hear what you all have to say, and hear your questions for the rest of us.
6. What song inspires you the most?

1. What is your favorite color? Why?
Blue, but I don't know why...

2. How do you laugh?
It sounds like snickering... or snorting sometimes

3. What is your favorite "abstract"? (rain, wind, steel, grass, dew, darkness, stars etc) Why?
Darkness and fire (no, I'm not an evil person :P). They're powerful and destructive, yet they can be helpful when used correctly.

4. What helps you look at your troubles? (other than God)
Music, nature, friends

5. What is symbolic to you?
Morning and evening. It's like our lives, in a way...

6. What song inspires you the most?
It depends on what mood I'm in

1.What is your favorite color? Why?
I have three favorite colors. Scintillating Sage, Starlight Silver, and Velvet Violet. I love them because they are alliterations, and they are the colors of the earth and the sky.

2.How do you laugh?
Erm...I giggle. Or if something is REALLY hilarious I squeak.

3.What is your favorite abstract?
That's tricky but I think it's probably moonlight.

4.What helps you look at your troubles?
Hard, fast, running. (and if it's raining, it helps also.)

5.What is symbolic to you?
A sword. It represents power, and you can either use it to further God's will or to destroy other people's lives.

6.What song inspires you the most?
There are far too many to count. God has used a lot of music to influence my life. But...Relient K's "Never Underestimate My Jesus" is one of my favorites. (I also like "Made to Love" and "Lose My Soul" by Toby Mac)

7. If you were to describe yourself in three words what would they be?
They would be Fire, Ice, Soaring. Fire and Ice because I tend to be really passionate about something, or really hate it with all my heart. And Soaring because my emotions tend to either be above the clouds or they're falling to the ground. I'm a mess, I know.

7. If you were to describe yourself in three words what would they be?
Wow...that's hard...
Ice, fist, sword.

Mindy, do you want us to answer why, too?

OH! Sure!

Okay...ice because my emotions are hard and icy, and I can be like that too. A fist because I can be very fist-oriented, lol. And a sword because I can be very sharp and swift...with my tongue. See the book of James.

*grimace* Remind me not to get on your bad side Lia. It sounds like it could be messy.

*evil laugh* It can be.

Oh, I love answering question like these. Unfortunately, though, I seem to have trouble giving straight answers. Let's see how this one works out.

1. What is you favorite color? Why?
I can't seem to decide, I like so many colors. However, I have it down to the top three. A fresh, spring green (the color of my favorite shirt, which you have to see to imagine), a dusky lavender, and a pale, shifting grey. I love the earth and the spring and the trees, especially the trees. The green is symbolic of my energy and life. I also love twilight, and it has a somewhat sadder, more mysterious and mystick feeling to me. And the grey, the grey symbolizes weariness, loneliness, and my more depressed emotions, so grey calls to me as well (but only when spelled correctly, with an "e")

2. How do you laugh?
It depends on my mood and what I'm laughing at. I've actually never really heard myself laugh, at least, not as other hear me.

3. What is your favorite "abstract"? (rain, wind, steel, grass, dew, darkness, stars, etc.)
Oh, I'm so glad that you didn't pick just one, because I never could. I love all of nature (except bugs *shudder*), but I'd say that my favorites are rain, the moon/moonlight, stars/starlight, dawn, darkness, twilight, fog/mist, and trees. I dearly love the trees.

4. What helps you look at your troubles? (other than God)
What puts things in perspective for me? The realization that I might die young, perhaps any day.

5. What is symbolic to you?
Almost anything can be symbolic to me, especially nature. There are many things, some I mentioned above, that can symbolize a mood I've been in, emotions I have, a certain experience, death, etc. My clothing is usually an outward expression of my mood.

6. What song inspires you the most?
Right now and for quite a while it has been Into the West, sung by Annie Lennox, and a close second has been The Call, which my sister, a friend, and I actually made a music video for. However, my NaNo novel has recently been inspired by two Evanescence songs, My Immortal and Hello, and I also like their song Bring Me To Life. Yeah, I'm into music.

7. If you were to describe yourself in three words what would they be? Why?
I've never really been good at describing myself. I can think of words that I would like to be described with, but I don't know myself. Maybe, Night, Candle, and Elf. Night, because I do have a somewhat dark personality. Candle, is what a friend once described me as, saying that my personality is like a hidden candle, one that people see shining out of the corner of their eyes, but when they turn to look straight on, it's gone (she also used the word faery, but I already had elf). Which leads me to the next word, another description supplied by a friend, who said that she thought of me as a Wood Elf.

Wow, I actually got through it, and I think that I answered them all directly, except maybe laughing, but I really don't know how I laugh. I just know that I don't laugh for real very often.

1. What is your favorite color? Why?
Yellow, because it is so bright and joyful. And bright green. And blue. and basically any other color exept black!

2. How do you laugh?
I giggle uncontrollably, and people sometimes look at me like I'm strange because I'm laughing so hard. But I don't usually snort.

3. What is your favorite "abstract"? (rain, wind, steel, grass, dew, darkness, stars etc) Why?
Either rain or sunshine. Rain when I'm feeling quiet and I just want to read or write on my bed. Sunshine when I'm feeling crazy and want to write outside!
I also like flowers because they are such a beautiful example of God's creation!

4. What helps you look at your troubles? (other than God)
Seeing others who are going through much worse things than I am

5. What is symbolic to you?
Music, because it can show just about anything. And lightning is really symbolic to me, because it shows God's awesome power.

6. What song inspires you the most?
"What Faith Can Do" by Kutless, and "From the Inside Out" by Hillsong

7. What are three words you would use to describe yourself?
Hm... probably rain, because usually I'm quiet, but sometimes I'm really loud and voice my opinions well. Light, because I'm usually a pretty bright, optimistic person, and Servant, because I'm trying my hardest to be a servant like Jesus was, and because I like to do things behind the scenes where no one can see me.

I'm learning that song on guitar
Okay, I'll stop getting off topic now :P

1. What is your favorite color? Why?
Green...and I don't really know why. It's just that when I color a picture (so mature lol), I color one color at a time. If I don't do green first, something is missing. I'd have to say this is my favorite tone.

2. How do you laugh?
er, kind of loud, but if something's really funny I'll double over in silent giggles.

3. What is your favorite "abstract"? (rain, wind, steel, grass, dew, darkness, stars etc) Why?
Maybe a meteor. To me, it symbolizes the fleetness of life, and how you need to make a difference while you can. If not a meteor, then fire. So powerful, yet it can be used for good as well as evil.

4. What helps you look at your troubles? (other than God)
Being alone, or talking with my Mom. Sometimes I'll draw or go for a walk down our back driveway (we live in the country).

5. What is symbolic to you?
A rock, because it symbolizes the solidness of God's love.
A flower, because it symbolizes purity and beauty. Especially a dandelion in the sidewalk...shows how God will come through our big plans in the smallest and most powerful ways.

6. What song inspires you the most?
It depends. Sometimes it's drama music, like Requiem for a Dream Soundtrack. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tSR7731Bsg
Sometimes it's Evanescence's Everybody's Fool, but I love Chris Rice's Come to Jesus. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_4g8_e16dc Made me cry the first time I heard it.

7. What are three words you would use to describe yourself?
Thunder, because when I talk I'm loud and to the point. lol
Funny, because I'm, well, funny. bigger lol
And Romantic, because I like cloaks, daggers, swords, candlelit rooms, etc.

"Everybody's Fool" is a great song! You listen to Evanescence? "Come to Jesus" is pretty good too. Once, at our church, a woman sang that with her six-year-old daughter. It was really beautiful.

Yeah, Evanescence is one of my favorite groups. I also love Hayley Westenra's Listen to the Wind. The lyrics nearly made me cry the first time I read them . . . without the music! You can imagine what the song did to me then.

1. What is your favorite color? Why?
I would have to say blue..or green. Mostly because they are some of the colors of nature and the sea...but besides that I'm not really sure why I like them!

2. How do you laugh?
I'm not sure. When I'm laughing really hard it's usually a doubled over silent laugh. But otherwise I'm not a super giggly person..it's most like exhaling strangely.

3. What is your favorite "abstract"? (rain, wind, steel, grass, dew, darkness, stars etc) Why?
Pretty much anything in nature. But my top few would have to be dew, rain, sunrise, wind, and trees. Yes, I know that's a lot.

4. What helps you look at your troubles? (other than God)
Walking through nature, or music. But it's usually realizing how small my life is compared to all of God's creation.

5. What is symbolic to you?
Nature and music. Specifically trees, the sunrise, a mountain, etc. Because they show God's power and creativity. And horses as well. It's pretty amazing to see my horses interacting with each other and with me and nature..But I can usually find symbolism in anything.

6. What song inspires you the most?
Many hymns actually. They tend to be in minor keys for some reason.

I never got a chance to do this!

1.) What is your favorite color and why?
Blue,green, purple, red, white, black. If I just have one favorite color I get sick of it, so I have multiple favorites. ^^ I mainly like colors that compliment my coloring.

2. How do you laugh?
If I'm amused by something, I snort. If I think something is funny or hilarious, I laugh really loudly. ><;;

3. What is your favorite "abstract"? (rain, wind, steel, grass, dew, darkness, stars etc) Why?
Wind and grass. Wind is very versatile. It can be warm and comforting, cold and demanding, and cool and refreshing. Grass (at least in the summer) reminds me of life.

4. What helps you look at your troubles? (other than God)
My mom is my main go-to before I go to my friends. Journaling also helps.

5. What is symbolic to you?
A seed and a garden. A seed because something so small can be nurtured into something tall and sturdy as a tree. (It's like a faith metaphor.) A garden is in the same realm. In a garden you plant your seeds, nurture them, help them face the struggles of nature so they can be strong plants, and you pull the weeds out so the plants can flourish. (It's like a heart/faith metaphor.)

6. What song inspires you the most?
I don't have a particular song. I have many songs. But I do love Grace Like Rain by Todd Agnew ---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EU2h9dXPat0

7. If you were to describe yourself in three words what would they be?
I always feel weird answering questions like this... My three self-describing words:

Spiritual: I may not be a very deep thinker in many things, but I love getting deep in God's Word and learning the meaning behind the certain Hebrew words used in the Bible. There are times I'm practically hungry for more knowledge on God. My favorite conversations are really deep theologically and thought-provoking!

Water: I compare myself to water because like emotions, it can change quickly. I am a very feeling person and my emotions are an open book. Cry is not unusual for me since it's how I express sorrow and relieve stress.

Controlling: One word I wish I didn't need to use to describe myself. (Of course, no one likes admitting their faults.) I like/want things to be a certain way so I make them the way I want myself. Much to my brother's and cats' dismay. They're usually the targets. ^^;;

~Calen

1. What is your favorite color? Why?
Khaki green, why? Well, I'm not sure lol, its always been my favourite colour.

2. How do you laugh?
I giggle - a lot

3. What is your favorite "abstract"? (rain, wind, steel, grass, dew, darkness, stars etc) Why?
Stars, because they are so beautiful, deep and more than you could count!!!

4. What helps you look at your troubles? (other than God)
My Sister. I can talk to her about anything and we share every secret/dream/troubles together.

5. What is symbolic to you?

Horse, somehow horses symbolize freedom, trust, love and lots of amazing things to me

6. What song inspires you the most?

This Little Child It is an amazing song, speaks volumes to me.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLzwVZaIm40

1. What is your favorite color? Why?

Grey is my favorite color because with different shades of grey they made movies for a long time.

2. How do you laugh?

I never really laugh, but when I do I usually take on some kid of laugh (mostly evil laughter)

3. What is your favorite "abstract"? (rain, wind, steel, grass, dew, darkness, stars etc) Why?

Art, is my favorite abstract, but I dislike abstract art....

4. What helps you look at your troubles? (other than God)

Google.

5. What is symbolic to you?

Swords.

6. What song inspires you the most?

"A mighty good leader is on the way." Audio Adrenaline.

Never saw this... how odd.


1. What is your favorite color? Why?

Blue has always been my favorite color, ever since I was really little. My guess as to why I identified with it at such a young age is because it is the iconic symbol of boyhood. Any of you who know my story, know why this made blue my favorite color.

In recent times I have come to love green though. It’s such a warm, earthy color, and my imagination soars with green. So I supposed these two are my favorites.

2. How do you laugh?

I laugh a lot. How I laugh depends on the situation. Sometimes I laugh so much that my sides hurt (Daddy likes to induce those moments) and I am gasping for breath. I’m also a nervous giggler. It’s part of how I cope. Some people bite their nails, I giggle in an effort to relieve my stress. I tell people it is chronic I also snicker, when it is appropriate.


3. What is your favorite "abstract"? (rain, wind, steel, grass, dew, darkness, stars etc) Why?[b]

Fire. Definitely fire. Why? Because fire has always described me. Fire duals between its two symbolic essences. On the one hand, fire is warm and inviting. It works to comfort and banish the darkness. On the other hand, Fire ignites passion and strong feeling (love, hate, desire, and determination). Fire burns and consumes. It is a bundle of consuming energy, and it is untamable. Fire never hides in the dark, but shows itself to the world, unafraid of the battles that may come. This has always been me.

[b]4. What helps you look at your troubles? (other than God)

What helps? Myself, primarily. I occasionally go to people outside of my family as a sort of checks and balance, but the problem with going to other people is that they often don’t have all the facts (unlike my family) or are biased one way or another, often in my favor, which doesn’t necessarily benefit me. So I have learned that my family, those who know, love, and understand me best are the greatest asset I have. So I suppose family would be my answer…

5. What is symbolic to you?

An unbridled spirit. You see, my parents recognized my spirited natured when I was very young. The whirlwind who was talking by 7 months exuded energy and vitality. As the years went on, my parents learned how to develop the spirit God had given this child, instead of crushing the precious gift given. However, these wise parents also realized that this spirit and drive could also be the child’s ruin, if not properly guided. What had once been the child’s greatest asset and blessing could be its downfall and the misery of all others. So my parents learned how to cultivate the passion and kindle the flame within me, while making sure that that spirit remained grounded firmly on a solid foundation. I am an unbridled spirit because my parents never broke me. They battled with me, not against me, and built trust instead of fear.

6. What song inspires you the most?

I love the song “The Motions”, by Mathew West. I think it is a poignant song that describes my desire. I don’t want to just go through the motions, but spend every day with God’s all consuming passion inside of me

7. If you were to describe yourself in three words what would they be? Why?

Ah!!! You guys need to stop making this so hard! Fire, obviously. Spirit, already stated. And I’ll add air as my last descriptive word.

1. What is your favorite color? Why?

Green. It symbolizes vitality.

2. How do you laugh?

Softly.

3. What is your favorite "abstract"? (rain, wind, steel, grass, dew, darkness, stars etc) Why?

Day. It symbolizes hope and God’s eternal goodness.

4. What helps you look at your troubles? (other than God)

Thankfulness and friends.

5. What is symbolic to you?

Books, since God is writing the story of my life.

6. What song inspires you the most?

It changes all the time... but as of this moment, “Make War” by Tedashii. I just heard it for the first time last night, but it’s really good.

7. If you were to describe yourself in three words what would they be?

Gentle.

Creative.

Guardian.

Wow, this is cool! I didn't know from the title what this was. It's interesting to read other's replies. Now to mine... this could be scary.

1. What is your favorite color? Why?
Blue. In the middle of a cloudless day, the colour you see when you look directly into the sky, that's the colour I love. I'm not sure why; maybe because it can be so peaceful at times, or sparkling, or roiling; kinda like me. My eyes are also blue, so wearing anything blue makes them stand out a lot more.

2. How do you laugh?
Hoo boy. I laugh a lot. There is something wrong with me if I go a day without laughing. I have to be honest, I laugh kind of loud, especially if something is really funny. My laugh is loud and airy, unless I'm overwhelmed with hilarity, and I laugh silently.

3. What is your favorite "abstract"? (rain, wind, steel, grass, dew, darkness, stars etc) Why?
A deep, deep, blue and black stormy sky, with rending streaks of lightening and crashing thunder. This scene does something inside of me as I stand out in our field and watch the sky pressing towards me. I think the glorious splendour and sheer power of God that I see in a storm excites my soul, and makes me see just how fruitless the works of the human race are, that can be obliterated by a single storm. We cannot control the weather.

4. What helps you look at your troubles? (other than God)
Stars. Looking up at the glittering night sky makes me realize just how small and insignificant we are as humans. And yet the Lord loved us enough to sacrifice His Son. I find that astounding as I stare at the stars.

5. What is symbolic to you?
Hm, this is an interesting one. After some pondering, I think words. The human mind cannot grasp just how powerful they are, as James states. We are created in the image of God, and God spoke the world into existence. Words that weave stories on paper, or spoken tales are a wonderment to me.

6. What song inspires you the most?
It depends on how I'm feeling at certain times. "Amazing Grace" has always been a source of inspiration for me. But most recently, the song "Trials Turned to Gold" by Keith Green has been very inspiring and encouraging for me.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axVvyZYX ... BF1EB59371

7. If you were to describe yourself in three words what would they be and why?
Wow, tough one. I came up with three S's:

Sparkling: I am naturally optimistic and I find no greater joy in causing others to laugh. I'm the kind of person who would rather skip down the street than walk, dance to music no matter who is watching, and laugh with happiness for other's blessings.

Secret: Although I am very open in everything, my deep inner emotions, such as when I'm going through a rough time in life, or have hit a steep part in the road uphill, I keep secret. I don't ever share deep sorrows, hurts, or despairs with anyone, save occasionally my Mum, who knows me too well.

Sword: Now comes the flaws. I'm very opinionated, and I can be harsh in my delivery of said opinions. I find it easy to snap at people when I get irritated, and can find myself being judgmental at times. Hence the 'sharpness' of the sword.
However, there is two sides to the word. I love God's truth, and I carry it and my salvation like a heralded sword. Like the verses in Philippians about the armour of God, I carry the Sword of the Spirit high, to fight against the "principalities and powers of evil".

And that's all for me. Sorry guys, that was super long!

Well, this looks fun, I'm not sure how to answer some of these questions, but I'll try anyways.

1. What is your favorite color? Why?
Purple and for multiple reasons. Reason one being that it was once considered the color of royalty so since I'm a daughter of the King I figured, hey what better symbolism? Reasons two being that I think it's sort of the elegant form of pink. And reason three being that it looks really pretty on me, .

2. How do you laugh?
Umm..it's like a sort of soft giggle, and than a squeak...I'm honestly unsure how to describe my laugh. It's entirely unique.

3. What is your favorite "abstract"? (rain, wind, steel, grass, dew, darkness, stars etc) Why?
Rain, definitely. And the reason being that I love to describe, rain, water, tears, oceans, and lighting when I'm writing a book. Since there are so many different and poet ways to describe a rainy day I think that it's just really...pretty. Don't know if that's a good reason though.

4. What helps you look at your troubles? (other than God)
Music, writing, and writing lyrics to music. I play piano so it's sort of my "outlet" for when I'm upset and it really helps me cope. And of course writing, I wake up really early every morning so I can write in my journal, work on my books and short stories. While listening to my iPod.

5. What is symbolic to you?
Too many things to count...I guess the most symbolic things to me is probably songs or the stories I come up with. Since I believe a God gives me all the ideas for my stories.

6. What song inspires you the most?
Oh my, could there be a harder question? Every song inspires me, I tend to be inspired by songs that start out sad though and build to a happy ending. A few songs I have on replay right now are:

When she cries
The Lost Get Found
Walk On the Water (all by Britt Nicole)
Beautiful Ending by Barlow Girl
Be My Escape by Relient K

But that doesn't even begin to scrape the surface of the list of songs that inspire me.

7. If you were to describe yourself in three words what would they be?
Full of life.

Bethany Faith

1. What is your favorite color? Why?
Sky blue.
2. How do you laugh?
I giggle.
3. What is your favorite "abstract"? (rain, wind, steel, grass, dew, darkness, stars etc) Why?
Rain
4. What helps you look at your troubles? (other than God)
Songs
5. What is symbolic to you?
Songs
6. What song inspires you the most?
"Healing Begins" by Tenth Avenue North, currently

Good topic!
1. What is your favorite color? Why?
Right now blue, because it has so many different "moods." It can be dark and mysterious, or bright and happy, or light and nearly unnoticable. It's just pretty. Occasionally it's a salmon-y orange, becuase it's just a pretty color. And looks like sunset.

2. How do you laugh?
Er, strangely? It's pretty donkey-ish, actually, and sometimes squeaky. It's a whole-body laugh, and can be really strange at times. But I've come to absolutely love it. It's freeing to know you laugh like a crazy person and be alright with it.

3. What is your favorite "abstract"? (rain, wind, steel, grass, dew, darkness, stars etc) Why?
The inky darkness of night, just because it's like a carpet; stretching out and out to worlds unknown. I also love stars; many with their own planets, their own worlds. It's incredibly thought- and excitement-provoking, just to think about where we could go. And I just love the color, it's the most beautiful black.

4. What helps you look at your troubles? (other than God)
Playing my flute, probably, I can get out so much emotion through my music.

5. What is symbolic to you?
Again, probably my music, it can be such an emotional experience, and can symbolize anything from a huge emotional release to a fun time trying not to freeze in the unheated hallway with my friends. Music is an incredibly cathartic thing for me.

6. What song inspires you the most?
Besides what I play probably soundtracks. They give so many images, and can mean so many different things since you don't have to deal with tedious lyrics. Besides soundtracks and other instrumental stuff I mainly listen to funny, silly stuff. It's not the "most inspirational," but right now I like the song "Give me your eyes" by Brandon Heath. It's a nice song.

7. If you were to describe yourself in three words what would they be?
Probably "renaissance", becuase I have an insane amount of interests. I love science, music, history, literature, and so many different things in those catagories. I love discovery and a huge thing for me is questioning how society is run. And so much of my time is spent learning about and celebrating the Renaissance, so it seems to be a fitting description.
And then for the last two probably "social loner," because I do really love people, but I can just as happily spend days without having a real conversation with anyone else. I relate well to people, I like them if they're interesting, I like meeting people, but I also love being alone thinking or running or riding my bike. And people-watching. I'm an avid "sit alone in a cofee shop and watch the world go by"er.

Ooh, you be like me. If I spot someone watching me from a cafe one day, I'll come and sit next to and we can watch people together.

1: What is your favorite color? Why?
Purple. Reasons not to be mentioned. It is convenient for an HRM though...

2. How do you laugh?

Any number of ways: gasping, cackling, maniacally. I am the only one I know who laughs inside my throat without opening my mouth, making a strange sort of high-pitched squeaking/chuckling that scares most people.

3. What is your favorite "abstract"? (rain, wind, steel, grass, dew, darkness, stars etc) Why?

Rings.... because they are precious to me...
but a better answer would be wind... because it represents all movement

4. What helps you look at your troubles? (other than God)

Analogies to military procedures and LOTR events

5. What is symbolic to you?

Anything can be symbolic. My most recent symbol is when I just realized that blood is not a symbol of death, but a symbol of life.

6. What song inspires you the most?

Could be "Into the West" from LOTR, but I'd say it is actually Pilgrim Song by Ben Everson.

7. If you were to describe yourself in three words what would they be?

Shadow
Wind
Hurricane

try not be creeped out at that....

1. What is your favorite color and why?

It is in between dark blue and dark green, because they remind me of the ocean and the forest.

2. How do you laugh?

I laugh a lot! I don't think I can describe my laugh.

3. What is your favorite abstract?

Fire and rain.

4. What helps you look at your troubles?

My parents.

5. What is symbolic to you?

I don't know right now.

6. What song inspires you the most?

A lot of the hymns. I really like the song "He Reigns."

Those three words could mean many things.

You just made it creepy.

~Calen

1. What is your favorite color? Why?
I love the golden orange of the clouds during a sunset.
I love the light, airy pink of the flowering quince.
I love the dusky grey of the land after sundown.
I love the blue-black of the sky on the clearest of cold nights.
I love the glow of red through colored glass.
I could go on. But the short answer is deep royal blue. Because it is a beautiful color, and it looks good on me.

1 My favorite color?: Green, the color of natural life. I love spring and I love the forests. When I see green I know I'm not the only living thing in the woods.

2 How do I laugh?: Generally loudly, but I have been known to mischievously chuckle and give out long guffaws of maniacal laughter.

3 My favorite Abstract: Steel. The one physical thing I can bend to my will and truly make manifest my imagination.

4 What helps me to look at my troubles: Thinking that no matter how bad things get, are getting, may get or will get, it is all for good to those who love the Lord. Nothing happens without Purpose.

How'd I miss this???

1. What is your favorite color? Why?
It would have to be a serious, beautiful scarlet. It is deep and vivid, as if it comes from the heart of the object. Overall, though, it reminds me of Christ's sacrifice.

2. How do you laugh?
I chuckle or snort if something is just funny, but if it's hilarious or I'm laughing with my friends, it's breathless, loud, and judging from my giggling siblings, infectuous. I pour my happiness into laughter.

3. What is your favorite "abstract"? (rain, wind, steel, grass, dew, darkness, stars etc) Why?
Rain and stormclouds are beautiful and they make me happy; not a joyous laughing happy, but they bring a contented delight.
Fire can tell many stories, it's bright and calls attention, but it's mysterious as well. Snow feels like it's from another world, and since it's connected with my current writing project, I love it.

4. What helps you look at your troubles? (other than God)
Walking alone in the woods, and talking to my dog. Drawing my emotions in my characters helps too.

5. What is symbolic to you?
Mmm, hard question. There are lots of things symbolic to me. Ripples on water, sunlight breaking through thick leaves, the short lives of animals compared to our own. God's creation is very symbolic.

6. What song inspires you the most?
There are several! "You Are More", by Tenth Avenue North, "Ocean Princess", by TSfH, "Beautiful" by MercyMe, and "Awaken" by Natalie Grant.

7. Describe yourself in three words.

Impulsive.
Emotional.
Thoughtful.

This is a cool thread. I wish more people would do it.

1. What is your favorite color? Why?
Orange, because it's vibrant and glows with enthusiastic life. It's also not very common as a favorite color.

2. How do you laugh? Not very often. When I do, it's kind of a quiet snicker or a chuckle.

3. What is your favorite "abstract"? (rain, wind, steel, grass, dew, darkness, stars etc) Why?
Sea, because it has a huge variety of emotions and actions it can do. Calm and placid, or angry and roiling.


4. What helps you look at your troubles? (other than God) I don't know. I either ignore them, bludgeon through them, or look at them from a disinterested, analytical viewpoint.

5. What is symbolic to you?
A Guy Fawkes mask, because it represents rebellion, defiance, and a love of liberty and a willingness to die for it. Golden Age Superman, because he represents a morality, virtue, and everything American.

6. What song inspires you the most?
"The Minstrel Boy" but I don't know why.

1. What is your favorite color? Why?

Green. Just because I think it's a cool color. (That's why my name is GREEN Mist).

2. How do you laugh?

I don't laugh. I cackle. My laugh is so loud that the heavens hear it AND they have to cover their ears.

3. What is your favorite "abstract"? (rain, wind, steel, grass, dew, darkness, stars etc) Why?

Dreams because they show what you desire in life.

4. What helps you look at your troubles? (other than God)

I don't like to look at my troubles. Every time I have a problem, I like to think "There are people in the world who have it worse".

The rainbow. It represents God's promise of peace and love.

Kings and Queens by 30 Seconds to Mars. Listen to it!
