I've Been Tagged! Who Will Be Tagged Next?

I was tagged earlier by Eve from Essence of Eve! Thanks, Eve! :D

Here are the rules:

If you are tagged, post 11 random things about yourself. Answer the questions I (the tagger) asked you, then create 11 new questions for the people you tag, and go to their blog and let them know they've been tagged.

11 Random things about me:

Hmm, I have to think of eleven things?? I'll try...

1. I love getting packages in the mail! I get the same excited feeling opening them as I did opening presents as a child... alright, as I still get opening presents - who wouldn't get excited about receiving a gift?! :)

2. I prefer glasses over contacts... I very rarely wear contacts (at least recently) because they annoy me. :O

3. I love wearing skirts! Particularly in the summer.

4. I love the look of Victorian houses, I just think they are so pretty! :)

5. I've tried writing novels (and probably will continue to), but I can't seem to write that much. I really admire authors for all the work they put into their writing.


6. I love (vegan) Root Beer Floats! I find them so delicious!

7. I don't care all that much for fireworks... they're pretty, but SO LOUD! :(

8. I am so looking forward to when watermelons are back in season - I love them! :)


9. I can't believe the NHL playoffs start in a little over a month! :)

10. One of my favorite things about Leap Day this year was Psych's winter premier! :)


11. I will occasionally say "Wait for it..." or some other Psych reference out of the blue. I just LOVE that show! :D

And now for the questions Eve asked:

1. If you could meet with any fictional character ever, who would it be?


I have no idea... I'm not one who wishes to meet someone... maybe Luca, Gabi, Lia, and Marcello from Lisa Bergren's River of Time series?


2. If you were offered a vacation to Middle Earth (or another favourite fictional world/place) in exchange for carrying a whole bag full of all kinds of creepy crawlies, five miles on foot, would you do it? (sorry. I know I'm being mean here ;P)


You know, there really isn't any fictional place I would want to visit... so, no, I wouldn't! :D


3. What's your favourite band and/or favourite musician?


My favorite musician would probably be Brandon Heath - I absolutely love his songs! :)
My favorite band... that is really tough... I LOVE Tenth Avenue North, Thousand Foot Krutch, Addison Road, Anthem Lights, and FM Static... plus many others - I can't just choose one! :)

4. If you could have anything, ANYTHING, what would it be? (only one thing. wishing for 1000 wishes isn't valid.)


Season Tickets to my favorite hockey team (The Blackhawks)! It's one of my dreams to go to a NHL game and that would be soooooo cool!!!


5. Have you ever dreamed of meeting one or more of your internet friends? If so, who where they, and what did you do when you met (if you remember, of course)?


I think it would be fun to meet some of my blogging friends, but I don't think I've ever dreamt about meeting any of them.

6. What are the top five best books (or book series) you've ever read?


Books:

Corridor by Robin Parrish
Abomination by Colleen Coble
Vigilante by Robin Parrish
BoneMan's Daughter by Ted Dekker
Skin by Ted Dekker

Series:

The River of Time series by Lisa Bergren!
Patrick Bowers Files by Steven James!!
The Kincaid Brides by Mary Connealy
The Million Dollar Mysteries by Mindy Starns Clark
Riley Covington Series by Jason Elam and Steve Yohn (I really shouldn't list this one, because I loved/hated that last book... :( Read it and you'll know why!)


7. Can you do a standing bridge?


I don't know... I'll go see!... Nope. Definitely not.


8. What's your favourite quote (or one of your favourites)?


I don't actually have a favorite quote, but I looked through Goodreads and I love this one:

“Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one.” ― C.S. Lewis


9. How often do you listen to music (i.e. every day, every week, several times a month, etc.)?

Pretty much everyday! I love my iPod! :D


10. What's your favourite song?


There are so many songs that I love... I can't just name one favorite! :) I love Beloved by Tenth Avenue North, You Are More by Tenth Avenue North, Your Love by Brandon Heath, Already Home by Thousand Foot Krutch...I think that's enough to mention.


11. The weirdest, most embarrassing thing you remember doing/thinking/believing as a little kid:


I remember being tricked into thinking Santa Clause was real when I was young! I'm not going to go into the specifics, but it's really silly. :P
