Sisterhood Award

        I've been awarded by dear Emma of A Lantern In Her Hand for the Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award! See now why I shortened the post title?! ;)

Rules:

• Thank the blogger who nominated you, linking back to their site.
• Put the award logo on your blog.
• Answer the ten questions sent to you.
• Make up ten new questions for your nominees to answer.
• Nominate ten blogs.

        Alrighty, here are my answers to Emma's wonderful questions:

Do you like country fairs? Yes, I do! I haven't had the chance to go to very many, but I thoroughly enjoy them, especially looking at all the animals and hand-made goods.

Were you ever in some sort of club as a kid? Well, I was in a club with my cousin (we called it the JAM Club), and I think that's it. Nothing fancy, but everything fun.

What's one of the first movies you remember seeing? Probably The Sound Of Music. That was the movie I had seen the most times in my life until LOTR came along.

Which would you rather do: hop in your old pickup truck and go for an unexpected adventure, or sit on the back porch with a good novel on a warm summer evening? These both sound splendid, so it would depend on what kind of mood I was in. The pickup truck adventure is probably more likely, but if I'm tired after a long day of putting in fences or delivering goat babies then sitting on the porch with a book would be my choice.

Do you enjoy live concerts? No, but I've only ever been to one and it was crazy and too loud. I'm sure there are live concerts I would really enjoy. 

Which do you read more of: historical fiction or contemporary fiction? Historical fiction all of the way!

Do you like country music? Short answer: yes. Long answer: I don't listen to it very often because I don't have an iPod or a phone that plays music so I just listen to CDs that I buy. The only time I listen to country music is with other people because I am not educated in that genre so don't know what to buy/look for for myself. Whenever I get to listen to country music, though, I absolutely love it! It's probably my favorite kind of music next to my movie soundtracks.

If you could play any role in a musical, who would you choose? Oh, this is hard. It's between Eponine, Meg Giry, and Emma (from Jekyll and Hyde).

Do you ever put your feet up on the dashboard when riding in the car? Well, my dad doesn't like me to do it while the car is going (he's paranoid about the airbag not working if we happen to crash), but if ever I'm waiting in the car for someone else I sit with my feet on the dash.

Can you tell us a funny story of something that happened to you in the last week/month/ever? Hmm... There are lots of funny things that happen to me, but now that you put me on the spot I can't think of any. Can I tell about some funny things I did to other people? Okay good. 1. When my brother was unhooking the trailer from the truck in the evening, I climbed over the wheel and into the bed and then crept along until I was at the tailgate and when he stood up I shouted BOO at him and he fell over. 2. We were at a park the other day and my mom was washing her hands outside the restroom. She asked me if this little knob on the wall was soap and I said yes and she pushed it and it was this really loud hand-dryer thingy that scared her. :) 

         See, I like scaring people. Muahahahahaha...

       I think those were the most entertaining questions I've answered for a tag in a while! Thank you so much, Emma! I hope mine are almost as good. :)

Questions for my nominees:

1. Do you prefer hot tea or iced tea (or are you not a fan of tea in general)?
2. What are your thoughts on fanfiction?
3. Do you play any musical instruments? If so, what is your favorite kind of music to play?
4. Have you seen any movies in theaters this year or plan to see one/some others?
5. What types of poetry do you enjoy, if any?
6. Have you ever thrown your mashed potatoes up against the wall?*
7. Do you like watching costume dramas?
8. Would you rather live in the city or the country?
9. What is one of the hardest things you have ever done? This can be physically, mentally, emotionally, all of those, etc.
10. Do you own a pocketknife? If so, how often do you have it with you?

        I don't have ten nominees because I don't know that many people who haven't already been nominated. So, here are my few:

Aspen 

Evie

Eowyn

Laura

        I hope y'all enjoy it! Although if you can't do it that's all right too; I know there have been a lot of tags going around lately. :)

Blessings,

Reyna

*Veggie Tales reference, obviously. I only ask because my brother and I have, in fact, done this. I took a scoop in my spoon and put the round part on the table with the handle sticking off, then hit the handle part so that it launched the mashed potatoes across the room (and yes, up against the wall).
