Real Christian discussion

Haha! Just gotta give you a hard time... ;P
Oh yeah? I've been on since July 2011. :)

Mm... the best thing about it? All the Christian friends I've made who love books just as much as I do!! What a lovely & unexpected blessing! :D

What is your favorite thing about GR?

Hehehehe xP
Yes a bit before me *shocked face* ;P

Aw, that's great!!!!! ((((:
Same!!!! Meeting so many awesome people and sharing the Word of God with others. Really feels like I am doing something you know? (((;

So what is your favorite animal?

A chance to go back and do things better the second time around.

Awww that's great you both ((((: I love foxes ((;

Okay what's the next question?

Haha I'll start it back((;

What's a hope you have for the next year?

Singing birds. Does that count? :P

If you had one million dollars, what would you spend it on and why?

Nice y'all (((((:

Ohhhh great one Saira!! Ohh Hehe. Does it have to be one thing?

((((((;

Oohhhh creative!!!! Now you hit me biting my nails.... The Bible.... and.... hmmm...... maybe the hymnal!! Or... perhaps the dictionary... Gee that was hard.... or Pilgrims Progress (((((; Or the Hiding Place... No I'll guess I'll stick with hymnal xP Geeeeee that was hard girl xD
You??

Haha! I love that answer, Sophie! ;D

Oh my goodness!!! That is not even fair Sophie *points finger* Hahaha xP

Okay well..... If only two movies could be on earth what would they be? Hehe ;P

Ahhhhh Sophie xP xD

Okay. If I could have any job: I'd be a wife and mother ((((: Its my dream, ever since I was a little girl. One dream I pray the Lord makes come true ;D

Okay if you were alone on a desert island and had to take only five things what would they be? No 'everything I need survival kit' and I'm *points finger* Am talking to you Sophie! Hehehehe ((((;

Thanks ((((;

Haha yay!!! Ohhhh that was seriously smart thinking ;D

That would be quite something wouldn't it :P umm.... kay
*) First thing I'd do was take a quarter or more of it and put it in tithes with whatever the Lord wants to do with it.
*) Next thing I'd do was give another quarter of it to my parents to help them remodel their house and deal with everything they have on their plates.
*) Next I'd have a spending day like never before xP Like laptop, MP3 player, clothes, hair styles, restaurant, spending spree, no kidding!!! And I'd so get a dog, a bulldog (what I've always wanted xP) Then after those things I'd start Christmas gift buying cause I LOVE Christmas buying xP
*) Then I'd publish some short stories and my novella. One if my dreams. ((;
*) Then I'd give some money towards charities that help kids in need.
Then put the rest up for futurely a car and some other things I'll need xP xD

What's a bad habit you have had in you life?

Wow, MK! You've got this all figured out, huh? Hehe! ;P

Okay, "have had"? Um... Well, I used to bite my nails all the time (drove my mother craaaaazy! ;P ), but I have since quashed that bad habit. :D Honestly, long nails still drive me crazy (which is one reason why I used to bite them off), but... at least they look nice. :P

Have you ever had your hair turn green?

Exactly ((((;

Ohhhhhhhh wow!!! My Mom has always done that, drives me nuts xP I'm glad its a past habit ((;
I have pretty long nails 24/7 so it can be a pain, so understandable xP

Oh wow, I can honestly say I've never had my hair turn green. Thank goodness ((; Only time my hair has been a different color is when my sister got these dye colored highlighters and she needed a model so I was the one to do it. Washed them out for I went anywhere xp Hahah!!
Have you?? I'm seriously dying if curiosity now xD

Haha! Yeah, I've never been gentle on my hands so long nails just always drove me crazy-- breaking off & getting dirty & such all the time... :P I tried wearing fake nails a few times, but I cannot stand playing the piano with those on!! Gah! :/

Hehe! I've never had mine turn green either. ;P From what I've heard, it only happens when you put chemical dye on it & the chemicals react to each other in a way that makes the hair turn green. My cousin dyed her hair & then went swimming in a public pool & the chlorine mixed with the dye turned her hair green. :/ Great reason to avoid chemical dyes, huh? Lol! ;P

If I had an extra hour each day that no one else had?? I would read, of course! Haha!! No worries about getting interrupted, right?! ;D

What is your favorite thing about Fall?

@JJ- Hahaha xP Ohhh yes!! I understand the nails things. I have been told it looks like I have fake nails, but they are real ((;

These are great you guys :D Okay.... hmm....... I'll have to give several xP

I can't say the letter R. Its sounds like W. It drives me nuts. So that is something I would definitely change.

I don't know if I would change this but possibly. I've always disliked my voice. Although every one says it sounds great, I have always been worried about it xP

Lack of self confidence and worries. I am bad about both so they would be on the list xP

How about you? ((:

@Sophie- Haha! Thanks, Sophie! ;D Growing up in a house full of boys (in other words: a noisy house), that one hour of uninterrupted reading time would have been FAN-TAB-ULOUS!!! Lol! ;P

@MK- Really? I have to keep mine painted all the time & I've been asked a few times where I get my nails done & I'm just like, "Um... I just painted them myself, why?" And people seem to think that's just amazing or something. Lol! ;P

Hm... One thing I would change about myself?
I think I would like to be less of an introvert. I know a lot of people think that's really something you can change if you try hard enough, but it's not. And sometimes, it really bugs me. :P

And where would I go if I had a time machine? I'd go back in time far enough that I could meet my mom's dad, who died a few years before I was born-- and see my dad's dad too, who died a few years ago. The one, I have always wished I could have known... and the other I miss terribly. :(

If you could play any... 2 instruments... as well as a professional, which 2 would you want to play?

@JJ- Oohhh that's a terrific thing about your nails though ((;
Aw, I think you are great just as an introvert! (:
Awww );


Ohhhhh Hahahahahaha xD I'll let JJ tell you about the name Janet (;

Ohhh gee this is a hard question.... ummm... Smell I guess... that's the least terrible xP

What is someone who you wish you could go back in history and meet? like a historic figure? xP

Cool, ladies! :)
Oh, and I believe MK is referencing one of my middle names: Jeanette. I got my two middle names from my dad's sister (Janice) and my mom's aunt (Janice Jeanette). Thus the nickname "JJ". ;)

Hm... How about Jane Austen! She's a historical figure, right? ;P

If you had to choose a new name for yourself, what name would you choose?

Hehe! You like a tomboy reference? ;)
Well, other than on Goodreads, only one person has ever called me JJ. I've always liked that nickname, though. ;)

Hm... Since Aerykah isn't actually my real name..... I reckon I'd probably stick with it. ;) But, I've always liked: Anika Mychal. ;) Good grief, though! I just love names so much that I think I'd want to change it every few months! Hahaha!! ;D

What is/was you favorite subject in school?
(Lunch, recess, etc. do not count. ;P )

(((((;

Well, depends on what kind if robbery. Are there people in the building who may get injured? Are they just running off or do they seem dangerous? I've actually had a dream before where this happened. I would first of all make sure everyone could get to a safe place, even if that is just down in the floor because they ordered us to. If I know this is gonna be dangerous and people would die, I'm finding the nearest weapon. I know I have to fight for my conscience won't just let me stay still and let people die. Weapon as such gun, stick, (bat would be nice) tazer. Anything possible that I can stop them, if only for a moment. Then if there is more than one it'd be best to try to get the other peoples attention and try to make eye contact. Maybe they would get the message we need to gang up on the bad guys. One person would just get killed, but if we all attacked them at once it'd be impossible to kill us all. However if its a simple robbery where the guy wants my pocket book, I'm gonna hand it over and walk away. It isn't worth my life.

Same?

Nice ((:

Ohhhh... hmmm... why don't you answer this for me? Then I'll answer you one xP

@Sophie- Haha! I did a whole series of posts about names. ;)

What candy would I be? Probably nerds. Hahaha!! ;D

So now it's your turn... what candy would you be? ;)

Hahaha ((; That's a good one ;P

Umm.... a ... uh... I'm still thinking *shrug* xP

Haha ((; That's great y'all!!

Okay... this was so very hard... I'm gonna have to say I'm a Reeses Candy Bar. I'm simple, yet so detailed and delicate, like the sides of a Reeses. Unique and definitely awesome ;P xP That work??

Haha!! Great answers, ladies! ;D

Next question, MK?

;))))

Okay... umm... If you were a Disney princess who would you be? xP

Well, I took 4 quizzes & 3 of them said I'd be Belle, so I reckon she's the one! Haha! ;P Just gotta say, though-- I would definitely take that library!!! But... may I please trade princes with, I dunno... Rapunzel, maybe?! hehe! ;P

Which Disney princess would you be? ;)

Haha, I was named Belle too!!!! Wow, that's good ((: I love Belle though xD
My sister said I was like Jasmine before. She said I was smart and looked pretty like her (blushes) However I look nothing like her. So... yeah xP xP

Haha! Aw... what a sweetheart! ;D
As soon as my youngest bro saw that I was about to take one of those quizzes, he was like: "Why are you even wasting your time? You know you're gonna get Belle." (That little smarty pants! haha! ;P )

((; She can just make my day!
Awwww!! Hahaha, he knows you so well!! ((;

Hehe! He just said that because of the whole books & library thing. ;P

So, what's the next question? ;)

Aww, gotcha xP xP

Um... What's one thing you wish you could do for Thanksgiving. That you are not already doing xP

Hm... Stay at home by myself all day..... and read! ;D
I know, that probably sounds horrible. But I just am not a big fan of being around lots of people for extended periods of time (and by that I mean several hours) and... with a family my size... I just don't overly enjoy holidays like this. *shrug*

What's one gift you would like to get for Christmas?

Awwww ((; Understandable!! Hahahaha xP

Um.... let's see... a thumbdrive. I need one of those or either some books or ink cartridge for printer xP I'm a nerd it seems ;P

What about you?

Haha! Nothing wrong with being a nerd, my friend. Nothing at all. ;)

Books, of course! Or some tall fuzzy socks, 'cause mine are wearing out. ;)

What movie do you really want to watch that hasn't come out yet?

Oh, that definitely counts, Sophie! And I couldn't agree more!! ;D

Him... I dunno... Scotland & Germany have always fascinated me so maybe one of those. But, then again, I think I might prefer somewhere warm & sunny year-round! Haha! ;P Any suggestions? ;P

If you had to lose 2 of your 5 senses (taste, touch, sight, hearing, smell), which 2 would you choose to lose?

Hahaha, correct JJ!! Nerds are awesome ((; Even the candy kind!!! Lol xP

Ohhhh nice! I would have to pick Israel ((;

Ohh this question scares me that it may happen. Not answering *shudders* Lol

Sophie wrote: "I would choose smell and...taste :(
Although I am very happy that I am blessed to have all 5."

Hm... I think I would choose the same, Sophie. Those are the two I think I could most easily do without. Though, I agree-- so happy to have all 5! ;D

One fear? A personal fear? Hm... let me think about this.....

I don't know. Probably the fear of failure. And not just for myself either, but for everyone!

What is one book that you were excited about--- only to be disappointed?

I wonder what happened to Sophie, JJ?

Ohh, um... I don't think I have one ): Unless... I could count, I had a book I bought from the Christian bookstore and it looked like such a good thriller. Then they got very cruel in detail about certain assaults and what not so I had to put it down a couple chapters into it ); "Hands of Darkness" was its name.
How about you?

I don't know! I have a friend who's account just got deleted for no apparent reason... maybe that's what happened to Sophie?

Gosh, I've read so many books..... :P
I do recall two in particular, though: -and-
Several of my friends had given these books 4-5 star ratings & at least one friend had highly recommended each book... Quite disappointing, really. :/

How about... what is one book that pleasantly surprised you? ;)

Hmmm... Maybe so? XO

Ohhhh wow! That's weird xO How come you didn't like them?


Ohhhhh this is hard xO How about.... *thinks for five minutes* The Hiding Place. Now I heard good things about this book but I thought it'd be so sad!!! Yet, it was so powerful <3

You? (((:

Mary Kate wrote: "How come you didn't like them?"

Well..... Before the Scarlet Dawn was just downright depressing & kinda made me angry. Even the good parts weren't that great... And the ending? I was hoping that it would end well & that would make up for the rest of the book, but that didn't happen. :/ Someone mentioned that book 2 would be better, but this one was so awful that I just couldn't bring myself to chance reading a second one. :P
As for A Passion Most Pure, several of my friends had given this book 5-star ratings & rave reviews so I had pretty high expectations. It was way too sensual for my taste & the main characters were just aggravating & annoying to the point that I didn't really care much at all how their story would end. :/

Oh, nice choice there, MK! I haven't read that book in probably 10 years... but I did love it even though I didn't really expect to. ;)

Goodness, I'm gonna have to stop asking questions like these if you're gonna turn them back around on me! Haha! ;P
Hm... I think I'll stick to pretty recent reads. A few that come to mind are:


So... Um... Do you like to paint your nails?

Ohhh so understandable xO xO Gotcha!!!!!!! I wouldn't chance reading the second one either xP

Ohhh have to check them out (( Oh, I can't help it. They are such good questions xP xD Haha

Ohhh, I do sometimes. Now I have them painted. Although, I grew up with Holiness relatives so when I was growing up I didn't. Then as I became a teenager Dad gave me the choice to pray and decide what God wanted over painting nails, and getting my ears pierces. After reading and praying I didn't see that big of a problem with painting my nails, although now I only use light colors, or paint the tips. So its not too bright or flashy, doesn't seen like me xP However I love a good clean shiny paint :) Haha xP
oh and to consist with the story, I rambled on about, I decided not to get my ears pierced over personal convictions.
(:

Do you like to wear jackets?

Hm... very interesting. And thanks for explaining. :) Quite different from myself. ;) But personal convictions are just that, after all-- personal.

Well, now. That's a good question.
If I'm cold, I like to wear jackets-- preferably ones with a warm lining.. or a sweater. ;) But do I like to have to wear a jacket? No. Absolutely not. If only I could live the rest of my life never needing a jacket again... You do know how things stand between me & cold, after all, don't you? haha! ;P

Do you like old movies or tv shows? And by "old", I mean like, um... 1960's or older. ;P

Haha, yep! For sure ;)

Hahahahaha good point xP xD

Oh yes!!!!! Yes!!!!! I love old shows!!!!
-Twilight Zone
-I Love Lucy (Watched some of those yesterday)
-I'm not sure if Sanford and Son counts?
-Andy Griffith Show
-Certain shows of The Honeymooners

And many more. Yet, I'm not perfectly sure if the dates xP Old movies and shows are the best- you can watch them without worrying about bad content or such, they had a story line and always make you feel good and entertained ((;
You?
