Being relatively new here...glances at calender (can it have been 3 weeks already?!?!).

Anyway, I thought it would be fun to learn more about you all. Just throw out a list of random facts about yourself. They can be funny, serious, or even ridiculous, just as long as they're true.

So what don't we know about you?

1. I like ice skating and rollerblading.
2. I hated peas so much when I was younger that I fed them to the dog while Mom wasn't looking. (The Lima Beans went into the radiator.)
3. I can see Pikes Peak out of my Living Room window.
4. I never considered writing a book until I was 17.
5. I've never been pulled over by a police officer.
6. I detest spiders.

Cool thread idea!

1. I started considering writing when I was around 15 I think
2. I love Ultimate frisbee and Disc Golf
3. I like to listen to worship music while I do the dishes.

Ultimate frisbee and Disc Golf?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

ROCK ON, BRO!!!!!

ULTIMATE!!!!

1. I did Mixed Martial Arts for a few years, but had to stop shortly before I got my brown belt. (I plan to try and take it again, though. )
2. I'm part of a choir that sings a mix of a cappella songs: Gospel, Contemporary, Folk, Spiritual, etc. We do mission trips in different provinces and different countries. Music is one of our ways of sharing the Gospel.
3. My stomach can't hold milk or other milk products very well (guess it comes with the blood that flows in my veins).

*can't think of anything else at the moment *

This is an awesome idea!

Okay....

1. I am a compulsive nail-biter.

2. I detest driving through Nebraska.
3. The longest song I've ever learned on piano is 7 pages.
4. My best starting letters for creating names are A and E.
5. I impulsively yawn when someone else does.

1. I started writing when I was five. I only actually seriously considered it when I was about... nine.

2. My hair is curly and frizzy and my brother calls it a bird's nest. XD I'm inclined to agree with him.

3. I used to have a horse named Belle (but we had to give her away because of financial problems).

4. I'm Irish, Scottish, English, and a few other different heritages.

5. I have GAD (General Anxiety Disorder). I worry about everything and everyone; that includes all my newfound friends here. : P

*laughs * Yes, you have.

Random Fact Two: I love to read in a pile of newly raked fall leaves. I'm not sure why, but it is just so... epic. Too epic for words. But it has to be a cool day, that way I can be in my sweater, scarf, and arm warmers. It just adds to the moment.

Here's some.

1. I don't like eating scrambled eggs.

2. I like to open my bedroom window at night when it is cold outside and cocoon myself in blankets. Feels incredible.

3. I always add a lot of pepper to my cottage cheese.

1. I don't cry. Ever. I mean obviously, I have cried in my life, but generally it's an almost unheard of occurrence.
2. During my four years of attending a mostly-Black high school, I accidentally developed a Black-girl accent

1. I'm not a good swimmer, but I've been told I'm a very proficient doggy paddler.
2. I don't like excited big dogs, but if they stay calm they're fine.

4. I used to not like free-verse poetry at all, but now I love it.
5. I have a small collection of older Breyer horses, but don't really care about real horses. They are beautiful, big animals and I have a healthy respect for them.

1. I am not athletic; But I am skilled at firearms of many kinds, archery, tomahawk, and knife throwing.

4. I love my cat more than words can express.
5. Art is my passion (when I have time.)
6. I am far more eloquent when I write than when I speak. It helps me organize my thoughts.

My own driving incident was somewhat similar, except that my dad had me drive through a gate that was barely wide enough to squeeze the suburban through with the rearview mirrors folded in. I left several scratches on the side of the car that looked like my initial: Z. I'm not kidding.

I guess that was a random fact, huh?


I love that feeling!!! Another random fact.


1. Same here.
2.


1. That's cool. I'm working on improving my archery and have taken occasional jabs at tomhawk throwing. Haven't done any knife throwing yet, though.
6. My words (pun intended ) exactly.

This is a neat topic.

1. I like to read old books and many books.
2. Theology and preaching are two passions.
3. I like to talk to awesome people on here, a lot. (Though this is probably obvious)
4. I'm not a slow driver.
5. I have five siblings. (and now three adopted ones as well. )

Random Fact Three: I'm needle phobic....

Theee?

An obvious random fact: I catch most typos.

*fixes the typo then turns to this page and laughs*
Hmm, random facts about myself...

1. I like vegetables.
2. I reread preteen chapter books sometimes, just for the nostalgia (and because I can get through them in an hour or so).
3. I have five younger siblings. Only one is a sister. Though, the youngest was supposed to be a girl.
4. I've been writing since I was about 11, but I've only kept the stuff I've written since I was 18.
5. I'm hard to depress. I'll have periods of depression, but they almost never last longer than a couple days, and they're a bit rare.
6. I'm an extrovert (have you noticed?).
7. My personality type: ENFJ "The Mentor."

I'll post more later.

An interesting one that just came to me:

If I had been a girl, my parents would have named me Danielle. ( Thank you Lord that I'm not. )

I supposedly would've been Jerusha, so...yeah I'm happy I'm a boy for more than five million reasons now.

1. I'm an "ambivert", at least I think I am in some sense--at any rate I'm not introverted or extroverted, and I'm not both either.
2. I find it extremely hard to say anything definite in most cases. Well, sometimes anyway. A lot, yeah a lot. I think...

Really? I never would have guessed!

Danielle is a nice name. But I am so glad that Jeremiah is not a girl.

Heheh.

Random Fact Four: I have a bubble wrap... thing. I love bubble wrap. It's so fun to pop!

Kaitlyn's being all mysterious, only giving out one fact at a time.

Actually, I have a hard time thinking of multiple ones that people might not know about me. So I post when I think of them. You can thank Wren for the latest revelation.

*does not know who that is* XD
Me too. I'm surprised I came up with so many right off the bat.

Wren= Eva Mimetes.

Random Fact Five: Iri's evil mother is loosly patterned after me. *gleeful delight * *loves her Iri *

4. I'm the only one amongst my siblings who was not given a name from the Bible.
5. I can drink many bottles of root beer (especially if it's over pizza).
6. I have a vice: office/school supplies.

1. I sewed a pillowcase once, and it's too small in width and about two times too long as it was supposed to be.
2. I wear the same shoe size as my mom.
3. If I was a boy, my name was going to be Clifton. I think.
4. All my socks are white, so I don't have to match them up.
5. I've watched three seasons of a TV show just since last Sunday.

Yes, it is! It makes satisfying "snap" sounds.

This is an awesome idea, Tarin!



Me, too!

1. I have never been stopped while driving.
2. I have had my driver's license for almost 6 years.
3. My parents had a boy name picked out for about 20 years (Seth Isaiah) and when they finally got to use it they changed the middle name (Seth Elijah)!
4. The first letter of the kids' middle names all start with C and E.
5. I seem to have a "thing" for J and M names.
6. I have been writing for a LONG time, I don't even know when I started .

1. I like pigs: they are cute.
2. I have over fifteen pets.
3. I have an overactive imagination and can sometimes be found talking to invisible characters that I have created.
4. I like cheese.
5. I can make cheese.
6. I like Doctor Who.

Yes.

4. I like to cook and I usually cook on the fly while learning recipes on youtube.
5. I have a fear of horses.
6. I sometimes (or all the time depending on who you ask ) will go off on rants covering nearly any topic whether I know anything about the subject or not.

1. Ugh, I wish I could say that of myself. Sometimes I hate being a girl. We cry too much. >.< I hate crying.
2. Bahahahahahahaha! :dieslaughing:

Now some of my own...

1. I pick up random tidbits of accents very easily, and they come out. (When Eli made us watch Doctor Who, I ended up speaking with a British accent for quite a while afterwards. )
2. I hate wasps. Every summer I declare war on 'em. *Nod*
3. I can make cheese.
4. I can't bear to walk alone outside at night. My imagination is too wild.

I have this problem in my yard at night, and in the house alone at night.

I have that problem all the time.

Me three.

I did as well, until I started writing books...or maybe I just started growing up. Now I think it's kinda fun to sneak around in the dark, provided the lights in the house are off. They must be off, and the simple reason is that if you're in the dark, anyone who may be prowling around can't see you any more than you can see them.


That is so cool. I wish I could do any of those things, although I did know Narnia pretty well in my younger days.




That.

Is.

Hilarious.

I nearly cried when I read that. No doubt that it was the best random fact thus far.

And a random fact from me: I'm starting to formulate mental images of what HW members look like, even though I've never seen them before.

6. I am addicted to Cheez-Its. (I can stop any time...just not now...or...er...soon)
7. Gatorade, SoBe water and coffee are essential.
8. Commentaries are considered light reading.

Tonight's dinner consisted of a tamale, a banana, a bowl of plain yogurt with honey, and broccoli.

My next random fact is that I misread that so it looked like he said "Tonight's dinner consisted of a female, a banana..." then I went and reread it.

And yes, I'm not a CANNIBAL!

*laughed so hard when she read that that she went into a coughing fit*
I hope Tar's not a cannibal.

Hmm...
I have dear adopted siblings on HW whom I stay up late every night talking to because none of us want to be separated (you know who you are!)
I apparently am a "hugging machine" on HW as well.
I'm an extrovert, I suppose. (One of the few on here, it seems...)
I love Shakespeare.
I don't like cake all that much, unless it's really good gourmet cake. I think it's too sweet.

That's good.
