My dear friend Aria, who happens to be teaching English in Cambodia right now, keeps a really lovely blog, and posted one of those posts where you answer questions and then tell your other blogger friends to answer questions too. You know what I’m talking about? So here are her questions. I’ve actually never done this before, because this kind of post isn’t really characteristic of my blog, but I’ll go for it anyway. Apologies if it’s not interesting to you.
It’s called the Leibster Award.
This is her explanation: The Liebster award is given to bloggers who have less than 200 followers. (I have like a tenth of that) What is Liebster? Apparently it’s German. You use it to start letters, start prayers, etc. It means Dearest/beloved/kind/valued….I like this word.
Liebster Award rules:
1. Post 11 things about yourself
2. answer the questions the nominator made for you
3. create 11 more questions for the blogs you nominate
3. choose 11 people and link them to your post
4. go to their page and tell them too
5. oh, and of course, no tag backs.
11 quick things…
1. I’m double-majoring in music and elementary education
2. I’m going on a mission to LA in February, and my entire life has been in preparation for this incredibly exciting event. I cannot wait. Like, I can’t even express how excited I am.
3. Meh. You know enough about me.
So… Behold my answers to her creative questions.
1. Do you like your hair up or down (may be substituted for long vs short)? UP! I don’t know if I’ve ever gone a day without tying it up. I don’t like feeling it on my neck, and it ties up so easily in a knot that it’s hard to resist. But everyone always tells me I should wear it down.
2. If you knew you could not fail, what would you do? Whoa. Um, that is an extremely difficult question. I’d run an Ultra, I’d play with a really good jazz combo, I’d ski really advanced hills in the best ski resorts, I’d learn like 20 languages, I’d find a way to get music back into all the public schools, and become a really good 4th grade teacher who uses music in her classroom. I’d write a riveting article for a big newspaper or magazine. I’d go on a mission and invite lots of people to come unto Christ. Man, I’d love to not fail.
3. What actor would you like to play the lead romantic role in the story of your life? Oooh. Joseph Gordon-Levitt?
4. Do you ever get lost? Ha. All the time. I don’t have a right hippocampus.
5. What is your favorite kind of toothpaste? Uhhh Crest? I just buy whatever is one sale.
6. Right…..*now*……are you happy with where you’re going? Yeah!
7. If you could live in a foreign country…… Nepal.
8. Did you watch the Presidential debates? Yep.
9. What is the one thing that you are best at? Maybe listening and encouraging? It’s definitely not music or school or running.
10. If you could re-live a day in your life, which would it be and why? Well, every day is my best day so far, so that’s hard. The day I went through the temple for the first time was amazing. So were all the days in Hawaii right after we graduated from high school. The day I left the hospital after my surgery was good. Oh, the day Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (the BOOK) came out was great. So was the day part 1 of the movie came out, because the Laie temple was rededicated soon thereafter, and my friend got baptized that day too. So many good days!
11. What song would you like sung at your funeral and who would sing it? Maybe If the Savior Stood Beside Me, or that one new one that says, “I know He lives! I will follow faithfully…” NOT God Be With You til We Meet Again. I think I’d like my grandkids to sing it. I’ll have like 50 grandkids.
My new 11 questions:
1. What is your favorite dessert?
2. Crunchy or Creamy? (please explain, because one of these answers is clearly right)
3. What is your favorite scripture?
4. Who is the greatest world leader of all time?
5. Favorite Harry Potter character?
6. Favorite word?
7. #1 pet peeve?
8. View on immigration
9. Favorite joke
10. When will we get a temple in Jerusalem?
Yeah. I nominate Lug, Leen, Mike, Dell, Kamille, Maren, and other friends who read this blog, who by some miracle may have made it to the end of this post. That was an adventure. And a nice little break while I waited for my laundry.
thanks for sharing.
