So tell me about your life.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I died and my life is hidden with Christ in God. (Col. 3:3)<\/p>\n

Who do you have texts from?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Joshua, Steve, Facebook, Dad, Anna, Daniel, Johnna, Mom, Timothy, Grace, John <\/p>\n

What’s the last thing you touched, other than your computer?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My phone to see who I might have texts from :-)<\/p>\n

Who was the last person you had a conversation with on the phone?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anna<\/p>\n

Quote from a song that’s in your head?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. It’s a Chris Tomlin song =)<\/p>\n

Have you faced any of your fears lately?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sorta.<\/p>\n

What did your last text say, and what does it have to do with?<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I’ll be there”–telling my brother I’ll come over to his house to watch the Nebraska game today.<\/p>\n

How do you feel about girls smoking?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I feel like anyone<\/i> smoking is irresponsible and unhealthy. At the same time, I recognize the difficulties of breaking addictions and try to receive smokers (as all others) with grace and acceptance.<\/p>\n

Do you prefer the ocean or pool?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gimme the ocean any day!<\/p>\n

Are you outgoing or more shy?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’d say I’m more outgoing–but I do require a certain bit of alone time.<\/p>\n

Are you wearing jeans right now?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nope. But I did wear jeans yesterday ;-)<\/p>\n

Did you sleep in past noon today?<\/strong><\/p>\n

No way. I don’t think I’ve done that in five years.<\/p>\n

Would you ever get a tattoo?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Probably not. I don’t really enjoy pain that much–and tattoos are permanent. Now, henna? Maybe.<\/p>\n

Do you miss your past?<\/strong><\/p>\n

No–why miss the past when you can live in the present and look forward to the future?<\/p>\n

Would you be able to date someone who doesn’t make you laugh?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Are you talking “go on a date with” or “date long term”? ‘Cause I’d go on a date with–after all, how do I know whether he makes me laugh unless I get to know him? Now, after getting to know him, if he doesn’t make me laugh every so often… (Then again, I don’t think there’s anyone I’ve really gotten to know who didn’t eventually make me laugh.)<\/p>\n

Have you argued with anyone today?<\/strong><\/p>\n

No<\/p>\n

Where is the biggest scar on your body and from what?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not sure–I haven’t got a lot of scars, and the ones I do have are pretty little. Probably either the scar from the mole I had removed (I must have waited too long to get the stitches removed) or the one under my chin from the time I fell flat on my face in the street and took a chunk out of my chin.<\/p>\n

When was the last time someone held your hand? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Someone held mine or I held someone’s? I held Gracie’s on Monday after she learned that her good friend’s mother died. It’s been awhile since someone held my<\/em> hand.<\/p>\n

Is there one person you look at and automatically smile?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Actually, several.<\/p>\n

Who’s jacket did you wear last?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mine.<\/p>\n

Is there something you’re looking forward to?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sure.<\/p>\n

What are you sitting on right now?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A chair.<\/p>\n

What are your initials?<\/strong><\/p>\n

RMM<\/p>\n

What was the last thing you wore that was black?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My shoes. Ballet flats.<\/p>\n

Do you have alcohol in your house?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes. Ridiculous amounts for the small amount I actually consume. I’ll probably have it until the day I die (unless I give it away to my brothers)<\/p>\n

When did you go to bed last night?<\/strong><\/p>\n

1:30ish–I was stove-jobbing on a new planner (but it’s almost done!)<\/p>\n

Do you have somewhere you hide things you don’t want anyone else to find?<\/strong><\/p>\n

No.<\/p>\n

Is there beer in your refrigerator at the moment?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m not really a beer fan–and my roommate doesn’t drink. Nah.<\/p>\n

Have you ever been in the shower when the power went out?<\/strong><\/p>\n

No. That’s an odd question.<\/p>\n

Where do you like to go when you want to be alone?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The library or a park or my room. Wherever no one’s at :-)<\/p>\n

Is there anyone you have been avoiding lately?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not consciously.<\/p>\n

Do you still keep in touch with your most recent ex?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Yes, I guess you could say that.<\/p>\n

What are your plans for the evening?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Grading papers. Writing book reviews. Cleaning house. Reading a book. Likely something “boring” (that I find absolutely wonderful.)<\/p>\n

What was the last movie you watched?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My family and other animals.<\/p>\n

Did you watch that last movie in the theater?<\/strong><\/p>\n

No–I watched it at my parents’ home theatre with my sister-in-law<\/p>\n

What was the last song you listened to?<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The Black Gate is Closed” from The Two Towers soundtrack<\/p>\n

Who was the last person to give you any kind of advice?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My dad<\/p>\n

What would happen if you were locked in a room with your last ex?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Um-I’m not sure. We would try to get out?<\/p>\n

Do you remember what your last dream was about?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I thought I did, but now I can’t remember.<\/p>\n

What do you think of the last person of the opposite sex that texted you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Steve? He’s like a brother. He’s been my brother’s best friend for the past dozen years.<\/p>\n

How tall are you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

5’10” or so<\/p>\n

The person you have the strongest feelings for dies, you care?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Duh. Isn’t that kind of obvious?<\/p>\n

Do you want anything right now?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes. But I am not in want of anything right now. My God has graciously provided all my needs–and many of my desires.<\/p>\n

Do you still talk to your ex?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Didn’t you ask this already?<\/p>\n

Is there anybody you wish you could be spending time with right now? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes.<\/p>\n

Do you believe what comes around goes around?<\/strong><\/p>\n

That’s sorta a truism, isn’t it? If something is traveling a circular path (“around”), it will both come towards a point and go away from the point. As far as the “you get what you dish” idea, eh. There’s some Biblical support for that (Luke 6:38), but why use a cliche if you can help it? Find some real Scripture to use.<\/p>\n

How’s 2010 been for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s been…challenging. Emotionally, spiritually, intellectually, professionally. You name it. It’s been tough. But God has been faithful and I trust in His sovereign plan.<\/p>\n

Will you be in a relationship in the next couple months?<\/strong><\/p>\n

You mean dating, right? I don’t know.<\/p>\n

Do you lose interest in people easily?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don’t think so.<\/p>\n

Delete a year of your life, or start over in a new town?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ll start over in a new town. Planning on doing so in January anyway.<\/p>\n

Any part of you sad at all?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes-I’ve got a melancholy streak, and memes often seem designed to bring those out.<\/p>\n

What is stressing you out most right now?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The uncertainty of life. Wanting what I can’t have.<\/p>\n

Today’s date?<\/strong><\/p>\n

September 11, 2010–9 years.<\/p>\n

Who did you text the most last night?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I didn’t text anyone last night<\/p>\n

What color are your eyes?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Blue<\/p>\n

Do you think if you died, that the last person you texted would even care?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, he probably would.<\/p>\n

Who was the last person you physically hit?<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of my brothers, I’m sure. (Hopefully John–after that bruise he gave me on Sunday….)<\/p>\n

(The bruise was accidental, by the way–he’s really a great guy–just really strong–and I bruise easily–and he was just trying to startle me. But I totally looked like a battered woman.)<\/p>\n

Who was the last person you hugged?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gracie.<\/p>\n

Do you wish anyone in particular was still in your life?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sure.<\/p>\n

Who were you with the last time you went to the mall?<\/strong><\/p>\n

No one. I sat and crocheted, practicing aloneness in the midst of a crowd.<\/p>\n

Ever liked someone older than you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yep.<\/p>\n

I bet your going to kiss someone tonight, right?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Probably not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
