Authentic Me



I'm joining in with Abigail's blog party over at her blog, Rear Window.  You all should really check it out!  It involves great giveaway prizes, awesome random questions, and meeting new people.  How could one go wrong? ;)

This is me.  I am Katie.

1} What's the nerdiest/geekiest/weirdest thing about you?
Oh goodness.  Nerdy: I still use the old fashioned yellow pencils that are apparently really outdated.  Mechanical pencils and pens are all the rage these days. ;)  Geeky: I skip.  Like around my house.  Weird: Apparently to several random people, when I'm just sitting, not really doing anything or thinking of anything...just sitting...I look really bored or half asleep.  Yep, I'm a certified nerd/geek/weird-o.  Haha!


2} If you could live in a fictional universe from any book, movie, or television show, what would it be?
Narnia!  That would be amazing.


3} Little or big, practical or frivolous, what is one of your favorite items in your house?
My trunk that sits in a corner in my bedroom.  It's the keeper of all of my special items.  Medium sized, practical, and one of my favorite things.


4} Do you like animated movies? If so, what is your favorite?
Love, love, love animated movies!  And I have so many favorites.  "The Lion King" is my favorite oldy.  "The Little Mermaid" is my favorite princess.  "Tangled" is my favorite new one.  (Speaking of "Tangled", it just so happens to be on right now.)


5} What is your favorite household chore?
Hehe...urm...none.  Naw, I don't mind cleaning...too much.  Probably cleaning my room is what I mind doing the least.  I guess 'cause it's my own space.


6} What's your favorite thing to get at Starbucks (or your favorite coffee shop)?
Ooo!  I have actually just recently become a Starbucks fan.  I've been doing the "coffee from the coffee pot in the kitchen" thing for a long while and then took my first trip to Starbucks about a month ago.  Tall white mocha = new found love. ;) 


7} What is your favorite pizza topping?
Cheese.  Lots and lots and lots of cheese.


8} Waffles or pancakes?
Waffles, please.


9} Do you like to play games? If so, what is your favorite?
Yes.  I enjoy board games and card games best.  I like Apples to Apples, Kimps, Spoons, Clue...


10} Have you ever let anyone win a game?
Yes again.  I'm the oldest of 4 so it happens.  Tehe ;)


11} Have you ever dyed your hair?
Nope.  My hair color is all natural.  Now my curls...not so much.


12} Do you make your bed every morning?
Baha...no.  Not even close.


13} Picasso or Norman Rockwell?
Norman Rockwell.  I actually wrote a paper on him for art class last semester.  I really quite enjoy his paintings.

14} Do you like carpet, tile, or hardwood floors?
Carpet.  I have tile in my bedroom and it gets cold in the winter sometimes.  I really like the warm, homey feel of nice carpet.


15} If you could put one thing in a safe under your bed, what would it be?
Probably all of my photos safely burned to CDs.  They're like my history...or perhaps my way of journaling, and I look forward to showing them to my grandchildren some day.


16} What's your favorite condiment?
Ketchup.  I'm a fan of ketchup.


17} Have you ever thrown up on someone (excluding when you were a child)?
Hahaha!  This is so gross.  No, I don't believe I have.


18} What was the last thing that made you laugh?
"You should know that this is the strangest thing I've ever done!...How 'bout best two out of three?" -Flynn Rider, "Tangled"


19} Think fast...what's the first song that pops into your head?
"Closer to Love" by Mat Kearney


P.S. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!  I'll be posting my 'thankful' post in the next day or so...be on the look out. ;)

Summer Splash {Blog Party}

I'm linking up with Lucia and Robyn's blog party.  This is my very first time participating in a blog party and I'm quite excited! :)





What are two songs that describe you?  I've been told that the song "Blessed Be the Name" reminds people of me...  I think it's because I did sign language to it at an event one time. :)  Also, the Brandon Heath song "I'm Not Who I Was."


What do you most fear?  Sharp things....  More specifically, knives...and things. :-P


What color(s) dominate(s) your wardrobe?  Pink.  I figured this out a few weeks ago when my daddy bought me a pink bracelet.  I was able to wear it like all the time.  Apparently because I wear a lot of pink.  Ha!


How do you normally do you hair?  90% of the time it's down.  The other 10% it's in a ponytail because I haven't had the time to fix it.  Also, sometimes I'll pull my bangs back and do a poof thing with them. ;)


Do you prefer milkshakes or smoothies?  Milkshakes.  I'm a sucker for ice cream and chocolate-y things.


Do you like the color pink?  It's ok.  Mostly depends on the shade, I guess.  I wear it a lot (see question above^ about wardrobe) but it's not one of my favorite colors.


What is your favorite flower?  Daisies.  Definitely daisies. <3  "They're so friendly.  Don't you think daisies are the friendliest flower?"  (<--- Movie quote, anyone?)


How many states have you been to?  Hmm... *counting on fingers*  Six I believe. 

What is your favorite thing about June?  Not as much school, volunteering at the hospital, warm sunny weather, shorts, swimming, church camp, boating...  Yep, summer is saaweeet!


Describe your "dream wedding location."  Walking down the aisle at the church I've grown up in on a sunny May day with lots of flowers (lots of daisies).  And then going to my house for an outdoor reception under white tents.  Cue dreamy smile and "aw"... ;)


You all should head on over and link up.  There are some great prizes!
