Thoughts of Spring Blog Party!


Photobucket
The ever lovely Lynnette Kraft is hosting an absolutely fabulous blog party over at her amazing site! You should join. Really. Go, go, go! Write your post and link up! It's bound to be loads of fun -- and did I mention that there are some sweeeeeeet giveaway items? Mhm...Head on over! You'll thank me. And on that note...here are my answers to the fun questions she posted. First up though, a little intro to those who DON'T know me!

My name is Hannah -- I'm a teenaged gal who spends her time (er, mine) taking pictures, writing, laughing, singing, ballet dancing, playing with siblings, and reading. Love my family and friends (and hanging with them!) and am so grateful for this life I've been blessed with. A little bit quirky and definitely love to laugh. Most of all though, I love Jesus. Want to know more? Head on over to my about me page. But for some random facts, well, read on...;)

How would people describe your personality? (If they could only use ONE word.) Are they right?
Passionate -- my mom says. I think I agree. :)

What celebrity/celebrities would create a “Star-Struck” feeling if you saw them in real life?
Perhaps I'm lame in the fact that I'm not a big celeb fan -- ha! However, I guess if I saw anyone from Food Network, I might freak a bit...;)

Who is your favorite blogger? Why?
I've come to the conclusion that I don't have a favorite blogger. I have many bloggers that I love and for many different reasons (you can check the complete list out here). But usually, authenticity, good writing, and photography draw me in. And if you take pretty pictures of food, I might stay. ;)

What is your comfort food/drink?
Drink: Coffee or a big 'ol cup of White Chai. That's right, I'm talking Teavana! ;) And for Food: Probably a bowl of Moose Tracks Ice Cream. Or Orange chicken. Or egrolls. Or pasta fresca. Or...well, I kinda just like food. ;)

Be brave – tell us something very random and weird about yourself.
I'm double-jointed in my toes on my right foot. Weird? Maybe. Random? Yes!

Do you have a strong desire to do something you’ve never done? What is it?
Well, I would really love to shoot a wedding or take engagement shots OR do some mission photography.

Movies: Action, Drama, Romantic Comedy, Documentary, Comedy? What are your favorite genres?
Uhhhhm...probably a wide mix of all of 'em. I love watching a good story unfold and if it's funny at times and there's some clean romance along with some jaw-dropping action, then I'm sold!

Books: Fiction, Non-Fiction, Romance, Biographies, True Stories, Self-Help, Devotional/Study? What are your favorite types of reading material?
My favorite AUTHORS are Jane Austen, J. R. R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, L. M. Montgomery, Lois Lowry, Ted Dekker, and Shannon Hale. But for genres...I love fantasy. After that, I enjoy sci-fi, historical fiction, devotionals (or Christian books on various subjects) and I admit it: I read my XHTML/CSS book for fun. Yeahhh...;)

Music: Funk, Rock, Country, Jazz, Classical, Film Score, Blues, Classic Rock, Crooner, Alternative, Heavy Metal, Techno? What are your favorite types?
I'm so bad with this genre stuff -- ha! I like Christian Rock and Pop, Big Band, Jazz, Swing, Classical, and a little country thrown in for good measure -- but not too much!

If you inherited a million dollars, what is the first thing you would do with your money?
Presents for my family first -- new clothes, toys, books, games, furniture, maybe a new house. ;) And then after that, I'd buy a Canon MKD 5 II, a bunch of lenses, a Mac, and then go on a shopping spree (clothes and furniture -- that's right, I'm talking Ikea, Kohls, and Anthropologie! ;) Then I'd donate a lot of it to our church/various missions or organizations I believed in. And then into my college fund. :)

Name one weakness of yours (confession is good for the soul).
When I'm irritated, I can be snippy. Need to work on pleasant words even when I don't feel like taking the time to be kind! And I bite my nails. Really ragged. I know. Working on that...

If you could live anywhere at all (and take all your loved ones with you), where would you go?
I love MN, but probably New Zealand or Italy.

Strange Talent? Can you juggle basketballs, put your legs behind your head or some perform some other strange feat?
I don't really have any strange talents, unless you count being able to do the splits...but that's pretty normal for a dancer. I suppose it all depends on your definition of strange...

What’s something you consider yourself to be good at? (Don’t worry, it’s not bragging, it’s acknowledging a God given gift).
I was tempted to skip this one. ;) Probably anything artsy -- writing, photography, singing, and dancing.

What is one of your favorite things to catch a whiff of?
It's sounds really crazy, but I love walking into Menards and smelling the wood. Seriously. It probably stems from days spent working with my dad -- building decks or laying tile or painting walls. But yeah. That sawdusty smell is better than any perfume. Ahhh...so good.

When you leave a social gathering, do you wish: You would have talked more or You would have talked less?
Usually talked more, but it depends on the event.

me

If money wasn’t a factor, what stores would you shop in?
Probably still Kohls. Ha! ;)

What is your greatest fear?
I hate needles, blood, and anything having to do with a blooddraw.

What is your greatest accomplishment?
Ask me when I'm ninety. Then I'll have a better idea. But for now...would probably say that leading worship for our church's youth retreat (along with my really good friends, Alex, Jake, Ryan, and Seth). That was a pretty big milestone and definitely a huge blessing.

What are your favorite animals?
I'm kinda an animal-not-carer. I don't dislike them, but I don't like them either, really. Though, I definitely admire the beauty of wild cats and I love the bright splashes of color on several types of birds.

Are you a hopeless romantic?
Yes. Definitely, completely, yes. :)

What movie or book character can you most relate to?
Anne Shirley -- my mom just yelled a great, "YES -- Anne Shirley, totally."

me

Well, that was fun! Head over and link your blog up -- and then leave a comment. I'd love to come and check out your site too! :) And I can't wait to read YOUR answers. Perhaps in the midst of all this spring cheer, the temperature will get up to forty here in Minnesoooooota...;)

Much Love.
Hannah
