Another time, I was in a swimming pool and I bobbed out of the shallow end by accident. I couldn’t swim. I went under, and as I was on a slant that led down from the shallow end to the deep end, I couldn’t hop back him the hill. I was drowning. My aunt dove into the pool with her clothes on to rescue me. I was very calm then, too. It’s weird to know how you behave in a situation like that. I’d like to think that today, I would still be calm.
621. What one thing are you most proud of? Having written a novel.
622. Do you enjoy writing letters? Yes, but I’m not in the habit, so I need to work on it!
623. What is your ultimate dream vacation? Going to live in Wales for four months, Ireland for four months, and England for four months, and just living and writing there. I want to do it so badly.
624. What is the most daring or dangerous thing you have done? Tried to hop over a barbed wire fence. Great thinking, Tina! Very smart.
625. What person in history would you like to meet most? C.S. Lewis, but then I’d like to meet Abraham Lincoln and Robert E. Lee.
626. What are your major goals in life? Learn to be flexible, to listen when people are talking to me, and to be a good example.
627. Did you ever have an imaginary friend as a child? I had several! Lack, Jack, Mack, Nack, and Back-pack! (I was a very creative child with the names.)
628. If you could be invisible, where would you go and what would you do? I would go backstage at a concert and watch how things went, or go onto a film set and observe.
629. Do you like old music? How old? I like some Bing Crosby and also Moon River from Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
630. Have you ever listened to Peter, Paul, and Mary? I know a Peter, a Paul, and a Mary, but I’ve never listened to all three at the same time!
631. If you could have lunch with any four people from history, who would you choose and why? C.S. Lewis, G.K. Chesterton, Jane Austen, and Oliver Wendell Holmes. It would just make for a very interesting discussion, and they all have such interesting thoughts and senses of humor!
632. Baths or showers? Baths, if they’re big enough, and showers, if they’re not!
633. Curly hair or straight hair? Curly, but I’m biased, because my hair is naturally straight. I think that people are naturally disposed to want the one thing they do not have.
637. What is one single food that you would never give up? Fruit, especially fresh apples, oranges, and strawberries.
638. What is your favorite day of the year? Christmas Eve.
639. Have you ever been on a roller coaster? Yes, and they scare me!
640. Do you like peanut butter? Yes! I eat it with a spoon from the jar, and—prepare to be shocked, world—IT’S NOT THE SUGAR FILLED KIND! IT’S JUST SMASHED PEANUTS!
641. Did you name your stuffed animals as a kid? Which was your favorite? Yes. I have a blue and star covered bear that I call Star Spangled Bear, a white bear named Flopsy, and a small ginger-furred bear named Winifred, or Winny for short. My favourite wasn’t any of these, though. It was a ram that my brother brought back from the Holy Land that I just called “The Ram that Daniel gave me”. It was special. It still is.
642. Three favorite guy names? Merlin, Finn, and Patrick.
644. Three favorite girl names? Violet, Rose, and Jane
645. If you could change genders for a day, what would you do? I would try to figure out how a guy thought. The idea of doing that disturbs me, though. What do you do when you have to use the toilet?
646. Do you play a musical instrument? Yes, the piano, and my throat, of course. Jammin’ on them vocal chords!
647. Favorite type of cheese? Extra Sharp Cheddar. It tastes so different from mild. I dislike mild quite a lot.
648. Soup or salad? Salad, especially if it has croutons, cheese, and tomatoes in it and ranch dressing on it! Yum.
649. Are you a morning person or a night person? Night, very much so.
650. If you could go back in time and change one event in history, what would you change and why? Lincoln’s assassination. The healing period after the war would have been much different, I think, if he had lived. The North took revenge on the South for seceding, and that made a great big mess. It was so sad.
651. Which is a stronger emotion: anger or love? Love. God is Love. He’s not anger. Case in point.
652. Is it easy for you to look people in the eyes when they talk to you? Yes. I think it’s because I’m aware of where I’m looking when I speak to them, as various teachers of mine have mentioned it, and I want them to look me in the eyes, too.
653. Is it more difficult for you to look into someone’s eyes when you are telling them how you feel, or looking into someone’s eyes when they are telling you how they feel? When I’m telling them how I feel, my eyes flick everywhere. I feel awkward, I feel passionate, I feel tearsy. When they’re telling me how I feel, I look at them because I want them to know that I’m listening and that I care about what they have to say, especially as they got up the guts to say it.
654. What song always makes you happy when you hear it? “Awakening” by Switchfoot. I just always grin when I hear it.
655. What is your favorite brand of breakfast cereal? Frosted Mini-Wheats! They’re so good!
656. Do you prefer oatmeal or dry cereal? Dry cereal + milk. I don’t like it dry completely, so much. Is that what you meant? I’d say I’d pick oatmeal if the cereal had to be completely dry.
657. Do you like nicknames? Yes, I do, when they’re a token of affection!
658. If you could take a monthlong trip anywhere in the world and money was not a consideration, where would you go? Wales. *sigh.*
659. If you could go back in time, what time period of history would you choose to visit? The days in Medieval Times when there was a code of Chivalry and the knights obeyed it. That would be a cool time.
660. Are you good at making decisions? I’d say so, but I’m not sure if the results are good! Most of the time I make them too quickly, I think.
661. What’s your favorite thing to do on a rainy day? Curl up on the couch with a blanket and read a good book with a cup of tea and a cookie close by.
662. Plaid or paisley? Plaid, all the way! Paisley sort of looks like mutated leaves to me.
663. What is your favorite article of clothing? Jumpers!
664. If you could memorize any book cover to cover, what would it be? The Last Battle, by C.S. Lewis.
665. Do you [prefer?] the city or the country? The country! The city is too busy and it’s hard to find parking. The country is peaceful, and you know what? You can see the stars.
666. What makes you unique? I’m a girl who believes she’s unique, that’s what. As to why I believe it? I’ve got drive and ambition, and I’m going to try my hardest to reach my dreams. I refuse to accept the norm and desire to go beyond it and change the world.
667. Do you prefer to type or write by hand? Type, for easy editing, but writing my hand is fun too, especially for spur-of-the-moment ideas.
668. Are you very sarcastic? Not very, but some cynicism has rubbed off on me from a friend. I try to fight it off.
669. Do you daydream a lot? Yes; too much! I do it in Mass and zone out of the most important parts. I’ve been trying to focus lots lately.
670. What are the three things in nature that you find most beautiful? The sky, the trees, and running water.
671. Do you like spicy foods? In moderation.
672. Who is someone in history that you really admire? St. Thomas More. He stood up for his belief when the whole of England was standing against him, including his best friend and his family, and it would have been so easy to comply. Look him up!
673. If you could meet five characters from any books of your choice, who would they be? Eugenides from Attolia, Polly Plummer from Narnia, Razo from the Bayern books, Ben Skywalker from Star Wars EU, and Tahiri Veila from Star Wars EU.
674. Are you usually late, early, or right on time? I kind of freak out about being late. So I’m usually right on time or early.
675. Do you like mustard? Yes, I do.
676. Do you like cilantro? No, I don’t. It has a nasty aftertaste. I assume it must be rather similar to grass.
677. Grapefruit? Very much, especially just picked off the tree. Mmm!
678. Have you ever milked a cow? I did two pulls at the teat for milking. It was at the State Fair and it was quite awkward because I had to sit on a strange young man’s lap to do it. I was blushing furiously the whole while, I’m sure, but I managed to do it. It’s not squeezing, I learned. It’s pulling down.
679. Have you ever been locked out of the house accidentally? Heh, heh. Yes.
680. Have you ever had to crawl through a window to get back into it? No, I climbed up onto out porch and got out the spare key and then got in. Phew!
681. What is the most spontaneous thing you've ever done? I went to Dairy Queen after school and got a blizzard! Heh heh. I’m not very spontaneous, I’m afraid.
682. What were your very first words? Muk (milk), Ma Ma, Da Da. I think those were them.
683. Do you believe in love at first sight? No, I don’t. I believe in crushes at first sight.
684. Have you ever dyed your hair? Never-ever! I don’t intend to. I like my haircolor. Maybe just a streak of white, down the side, but who knows.
685. What’s the longest you’ve gone without sleep? Eighteen hours. I’m pretty wimpy, eh?
686. Do you like thunderstorms? Yes, I do!
687. Do you collect things? Faces. It’s a memories thing. I remember almost everyone I’ve met, and they don’t remember me if we meet again. It’s bittersweet.
688. Are you good at rhyming? Yes, some of the time.
689. Do you prefer bright rooms or dark rooms? Dark rooms if I can have a fire blazing in it. I like the dark. It makes me feel cozy.
690. Large, spacious rooms or small, cozy rooms? Small, cozy rooms. I’m a bit of the opposite of claustrophobic in some respects. I feel safer and better in small, cuddly spaces.
691. What is a phrase you say a lot? “So, anyways!”
692. What is one unique thing you are afraid of? Sitting on a jellyfish. Does anyone else have that fear?
693. What is your favorite kind of soda? Cherry coke and Sprite. They take turns.
694. Are you a light or heavy sleeper? In the middle. I’m light at some bits of the night, but at other bits (especially if I sleepwalk), I’m impossible to wake up.
695. Favorite day of the week? Friday. School over for the weekend. YES!
696. What languages do you want to learn? Welsh and Irish. Yes, useless to most of the world. The thing is, I’d rather sound pretty than have a useful language!
697. Are you a clean, organized person or an untidy one? Clean, sometimes. Organized? Eeeeh….
698. Favorite kind of flower? Painted daisy.
699. Yellow or orange? When I read that, I thought of yellow and orange blended together into a rich, sunshiney-gold colour. Can I pick that?
700!!! Bright colors or plain colors? Bright.
701. Have you ever fired a gun? Yes, I did a few times! I was very bad at it! It was at a ranch about four years ago, and we were trying to shoot clay pigeons.
702. Ever met someone famous? Does Tenth Avenue North count? Cause I’ve met them twice!
703. Ever tried archery? Yes, I have. I’m very bad at it. I need better upper body strength.

EVERYONE ELSE WHO ASKED ME QUESTIONS!
The answers will be up tomorrow. I'm tired and am going to bed tonight. See you tomorrow!

704. Did you watch the video I linked you to? Yes, I did indeed.
705. What did you think of it? I thought it was very funny and I laughed, but the humour was mostly of a very crude sort.
706. Do you wear wigs? No.
707. Have you worn wigs? Yes, I have. They were blue and blonde and grey, respectively.
708. Will you wear wigs? Perhaps. If I feel so inclined.
709. When will you wear wigs? When I am in a play.
710. Does Dom do a good German accent? Yes. I thought it was great.
711. At what point do you think Elijah suspected it, if at all? When he almost said to the person in charge of the interview, “This can’t be—” That’s when I thought he suspected.
712. What will we do until we have faces? Muddle our way along and love for the soul.
713. How would you solve the problem of pain? I wouldn’t, but pain brings us to God and the solace for it.
714. What is the biggest grief you have observed? My grandma dying. That was hard.
715. Why would C.S. Lewis call Divorce "great"? Because it was HUGE. And it was not just “divorce”. It was The Divorce. The GREAT Divorce, which was the split between Heaven and Earth by the first sin.
716. Should Mere Christianity have been called "Mirror Christianity"? Nope.
717. What does Mirror Christianity mean? I don’t know! I think it’s a mix-up title.
718. How do you pronounce Ainulindale? Ain-Ull-in-Dale.
719. What was that Enders Game book like that someone on your blog suggested? The one that was mentioned when you spoke against false kindness toward the dead? I never got it, I’m sorry to say. I meant to, but when I went to the library it was checked out. Drat.
720. If someone's initials spell AAA, does that mean they have anything to do with insurance? Naturally. Names are the defining parts of people, right?
721. If you could ensure a happy ending for yourself, would you? If it didn’t cost anything.
722. What if a happy ending goes against God's will for your life? Then I wouldn’t have it. But I think that the only one I wouldn’t have would be a physical happy ending. I think that, in the scheme of things, God wants everyone to have a happy ending; to come to Heaven to be with him.
723. Do you wear glasses? Yes.
724. Have you worn glasses? Yes.
725. Will you wear glasses? Perhaps, if my eyes don’t magically heal themselves.
726. When will you wear glasses? When my eyes don’t work so well.
727. Is wearing a mini skirt a sin? I think that it’s not a sin for a young woman if she honestly does not realize that it leads other people into sin through being an occasion of lust and objectification. Once she realizes/learns, though, it is.
728. Is wearing make-up vanity or a sin in any way? Depends on why you’re wearing it. Do you feel worthless without it? I’d say that was a lie. Do you wear it to make boys think you’re hot? Well, that’s probably not such a good idea. But in and of itself, it’s not a sin or a vanity, in my opinion.
729. Why didn't God make women so that they were born already wearing makeup? He did. We just can’t see it.
730. What could I say that would make you laugh hysterically? You’ve already done that, Riella.
731. Does the mod chat look any different from the regular chat? Yes. It’s rather like the old NWeb chat.
732. What has surprised you the most about MOTW? That people I thought I’ve talked to before, I haven’t talked to much at all! And I’m glad to talk to them now.
733. Do eels hiss? No. See, they live underwater.
734. Do eels hiss at you? Nope. Even if they could, I’ve never met one.
735. What would it mean if an eel hissed at you? Well, if they could actually hiss, it would mean, “Please get away before I electrify you!” >:(
736. If an eel hissed at you even if you were NOT bothering it, in what way would you grow from that experience? I would realize that eels don’t need a reason to be angry, and muse that I should not act in the same way.
737. On page 306 of Jane Eyre, the author writes "Encroach, presume, and the game is up." What deep meaning do you think the author is trying to convey here? That’s a very good question! The author is obviously trying to convey that if you lie and bring in cockcroaches while intruding on their hospitality, they will naturally kick you out!
738. What kind of procedure is "Penpal enlargement"? I think they blow up penpals like balloons.
739. What is the longest book you have ever read? An Old Fashioned Girl by Louisa May Alcott or The Virginian by Owen Wister.
740. What is the shortest book you have ever read? Those little board books where you can lift up the flaps. It was called God’s Promise, and it was about Noah. It was so cool.
741. How fast is the fastest you have ever read an entire book? Do storybooks count? Ten minutes!
742. How slow is the slowest you have ever read an entire book? It lasted over three months. I did not want to read it, and it was for school.
743. And what books were they? The board book about Noah and The Virginian, respectively.
744. What is the worst mistake you have ever made? I’m sorry, but I shan’t tell you.
745. What is the worst mistake you are going to make someday? I hope I shan’t outdo myself, that’s for sure.
746. If you could learn how to breathe ice cream, would you? Nope. It’ll probably breed a new lung disease called Icinhalia.
747. Are you good at riddles? I like to hear them.
748. Pete and Repeat were in a boat. Pete fell out. Who was left? Re..
749. Okay. But this is the last time I'm doing it: Pete and Repeat were in a boat. Pete fell out. Who was left? Re. Again!
750. A man builds a house rectangular in shape. All the sides have southern exposure. A big bear walks by. What color is the bear? Brown.
751. If a man owns a box that is blue on tuesday, red on wednesday, green on thursday, and yellow on fourth of July, what is inside the box? Nothing. It’s clear!
752. What gets wetter and wetter the more it dries? A towel.
753. The man who invented it doesn't want it. The man who bought it doesn't need it. The man who needs it doesn't know it. What is it? A coffin. (*googled the response for that one*)
754. If you break me, I do not stop working. If you touch me, I may be snared. If you lose me, Nothing will matter. What am I? Your heart. *did not google for that one*
755. Did the first thing that hapenned in the above question ever happen to you? No, it hasn’t. It’s ached a bit sometimes, though.
756. Do I have your condolences? Sure. What for?

Georgie, dear! It’s great that you stopped by!

757. Pink or purple? Pink, but if you’d named purple “violet”, I’d have chosen that.
758. Purple or Red? Red.
759. Red or Green? Green.
760. Green or Pink? Green again.
761. Whats your least favorite color? Olive green. I don’t think it deserves to be called green at all! It’s like a dead yellowey brown color. Guck.
762. Do you have a least favorite movie? Disturbia. That was just stupid.
763. Least favorite Ice Cream Flavor? Rum Raisin. Rum is yucky and I don’t like raisins, so I can’t very well like the ice cream.
764. A favorite little kid movie? Beauty & The Beast.
765. Did you used to play with Barbies when you were little? Nope. We weren’t allowed to have them because they depict an unrealistic picture of how a beautiful woman should look.
766. Did you ever think that boys have cooties? I didn’t play with boys much, but when I did I liked them well enough. I never knew about cooties until a bit later, and then I imagined them to look like chicken pox. The boys obviously didn’t have those, so they were okay by me!
767. Have you ever gone trick or treating? Once. Last year. It was very interesting and very cold.
768. Whats your favorite part of Christmas? Being together with my family. It’s so nice.
769. Do you consider yourself a good artist? Yes, I do.
770. Have you ever owned a pair of earmuffs? Yes—they were very strange. They were all twirly on the plastic and I couldn’t figure out how they managed to go onto your head.
771. Did you have a baby blanket? Yes.
772. If so, do you still have it? Yes, I do! My bears sleep in it, and it’s pink.
773. Do you have any stuffed animals? Many.
774. Do you have any trophies? A couple, for piano.
775. If so what for? They were for piano SAT.
776. Are your ears pierced? Yes, they are! I forget to wear earrings a lot, though, so they’ve almost closed up several times.

Mountie! I’m glad you came back before it was done. It was great to get to know you this past week!

777. What are the qualities you will look for in a husband? I think he ought to listen and love God and be a spiritual leader, and I’d absolutely love it if he paid attention to little details that I mention; like that I love carnivals and fairs and that I love trying new restaurants.
778. Do you like clipboards? They’re rather cumbersome, so no.
779. Have you read The Diary of Anne Frank? No. I read an abridged version and it was depressing.
780. What do you normally eat for breakfast? Nothing. I usually forget to eat breakfast.
781. What is a guilty pleasure of yours? Eating a LOT of candy at once. Then I feel sick, and it’s not so pleasurable anymore.
782. What song do you want to play at your wedding? Awakening by Switchfoot. That’s got to be in there somewhere. For my dance with my husband, I’d love it if “Oh My Dear” by Tenth Avenue North was playing, but that’ll only happen if it really applies to us.
783. What was your reaction to

790. Do you like cooking? Very much.
791. Chocolate, Strawberry, or Vanilla ice cream? Strawberry. It’s my favourite.
792. Do you like audiobooks? Yes, if they’re dramatized rather than just read.
793. Have you read the Silmarillion? Never-ever!
794. If you have, do you prefer to it to LotR? Can’t reply cause I’ve never read it. I did like Farmer Giles of Ham and Smith of Wooten Major better, though.
795. What is your favorite kind of tea? Earl Grey Decaffeinated.

YES! I ended on a divisible-by-five number! That’s amazing! Thanks for posting in my thread, everyone! It was great to get to know you all a little by your questions to me, and I hope my questions helped you get a feel for whom I am in return. Annnnnd you got me not only to 700 questions, which was my goal, but to nearly eight-hundred! That rocks! Go get yourself a rootbeer float, okay?
