apparently i'm versatile.

*Note: I posted this yesterday, but for some reason during the 'blogger unavailable' thing, it unpublished it and put it in my drafts. *shrugs*

Haha, I looked up 'versatile' ('cause I had no earthly idea what it meant) and it is defined as 'changeable, inconsistent.'  Yeah, well, that's me.  I'm always rearranging things and longing for something new.

Anyway, I was given 'The Versatile Blogger' award by Mary way back when, and I'm just now getting to it.  So.  Here we go :)

-Thank the person that gave you the award.

-Tell seven things about yourself

-Award other bloggers whose blogs inspire you

-Contact the other bloggers and let them know they have received the award!

Well, thank you Mary for honoring me with this award *wink wink* But really, I feel loved :)

Seven things about me.  Alrighty then.

1. Hillary Duff movies are my favorite.  The Perfect Man is my favorite movie everrrrr.  But Raise Your Voice is trailing at a close second, then The Lizzie McGuire Movie.  Call me crazy, but that movie deserves an Oscar.  Not to mention Gordo's a cutie :)

2. My favorite type of flowers are lilies -- white lilies, if you want to get technical ;)

3. Cute guys in old baseball caps = happy Anna.  If they actually play baseball, well, that's even better.  And if they're good at it, that's better than better.  That's sah-weet!

4. U.S. History is my favorite subject this year, seeing as Coach Garrett actually makes it interesting.  We've watched parts of episodes from the mini-series, Band of Brothers, and it's really given me a new perspective on WWII, and history all across the board for that matter.

5. I love rain.  I don't love what it does to my hair. *poof*

5 1/2. BLEAH LOVES ME! hehe... hey Anna, it's Bleah. I've hacked you. Muahuahuahuahuahuahua.

6. I'm sorta kinda really obsessed with the song "We're Alright" by Hawk Nelson.  And I don't even have a reason behind the obsession :P

7. Ritz crackers are the best thing that's hit this planet since microwave ovens.  Oreos, too.  And friends that eat them with you while talking on the phone. *cough, cough* Bleah.

And I award...

Jenn - her blog is totally versatile. check ittttt.

Mahina - she went From Aloha to Arizona.  If that's not versatile, I don't know what is.

Emii - this girl is all about changing and growing with us Girlz 4 God. Versatile for sure.

Ky - just 'cause he likes tags. 'Spose he's versatile enough :) Visit him here.

Bleah - she's always ready for something new.  And here's something new for you, too.

life is good, eternal life is better :)

^Had to make the Stellar Kart reference :)

I got awarded a long while back by Katie and Sophie! Thanks you guys! ...and sorry it's taken so long to get this posted :P

1. First, thank and link back to the person (or people) that gave you the award.

2. Answer the 10 survey questions.

3. Pass the award along to other bloggers whom you think are fantastic.

4. Contact the bloggers you have chosen to let them know about the award.

Survey Questions:

1. If you blog anonymously, are you happy doing this?  If you aren't anonymous, do you wish you had started out anonymously, so that you could be anonymous now?

Not really.  I like Sisters in the Savior being an open blog, where people can get to know me and I can get to know other people.  It's more fun that way :)

2. Describe an incident that shows your inner stubborn side.

Only one?  Believe me, I've had way more than that.  But one in particular was when my mom told me that I needed to work on this reading project, and I kept telling her I'd have it done on time.  I spent the entire night before it was due working on it.  Guess I should've listened :P

3. What do you see when you really look at yourself in the mirror?

I see a girl that wants to stand out.  I see the longing in her eyes to be different.  I see bracelets on her wrists, converse on her feet, and that she's wearing T-shirt and jeans.  I see a performer, an author, and a typical teenager.  I see a girl that wants the whole world to know that she's His.

4. What is your favorite summer cold drink?

Lemonade of courseee.

5. When you take time for yourself, what do you do?

Blog, Facebook, talk on the phone, read a good book, watch a movie, rollerblade, or write.

6. Is there something you still want to accomplish in your life?

Yeah...I'd really like to go into the Christian music industry.  But before I can do that, I've gotta learn to play guitar.  Which I really want to do!  Then there's college and all that jazz, but I don't wanna THINK about that yet :P

7. When you attended school, were you the class clown, the overachiever, the shy person, or always ditching?  

Well, actually, I'm still attending school.  Unfortunately.  Until I hit high school, I was always the overachiever.  Now I'm sort of the shy person...before you get to know me.  After that, I'm really talkative and (possibly) annoying.  But honestly, I'm categorized as a Jesus freak.

8. If you close your eyes and want to visualize a very poignant moment in your life, what would you see?

That's a little personal, dont'cha think?  Yeah, I'll keep that to myself ;)

9. Is it easy for you to share your true self in your blog, or are you more comfortable writing posts about other people and events?

Well, sometimes I feel, erm, inferior to other bloggers.  Like the ones with really nice designs and perfect posts.  But I do like to spill my guts at times...others, I'd rather write about something fun and light-hearted.

10. If you had the choice to read a book or talk on the phone, which would you choose and why?

Sorry, Bleah.  I'm going with the book ^.^  I love to read and visit new places - new worlds even. *cough, cough* Narnia.  Though interesting stories in our world don't hurt either. *cough, cough* Percy Jackson.

TGIF! Thank Goodness It's Friday or...Thank God I'm Forgiven :D But both make me smile:) Anyway, I got a tag from Bleah, so...yeah. Here it is:)

1) Do you consider yourself a good person? Why or why not...

Well, I guess so. I try to live by the Bible's standards and love like Jesus did. But if you compare me to Jesus...um, nooo...

2) Do you ever wish you lived in someone else's life? Why or why not...

Sometimes I guess. When I feel like my life isn't good enough. But normally, I'd rather stay where God's put me.

3) If you had one thousand dollars, and you could only buy one thing, and you had to keep it forever and ever, what would it be?

Hmm...that's a tough one. I'm really not sure...

4) If you could only listen to one song for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Are you kidding?! I have a bajillion favorite songs...but I'd probably choose "Life is Good" by Stellar Kart, 'cause it always reminds me that I wasn't made for this world, but for His:)

5) What is your favorite color pen?

Blue! Don't ask me why, 'cause I honestly don't know...

6) If you died today, what do wish you would have done? Or are you happy with your life up to date?

Obeyed my parents better. Read my Bible more. Loved on people instead of judging...

7) Pick three people in your life you would be willing to live in the same house with for the rest of your life.

Shannon, Aly, and Tanner.

8) If blogger ceased to exist today, how would you feel?

Disappointed. I love my bloggers!

And now for my questions...

1) If you were stranded on an island and you could only order take out once, what restaurant would you order from?

2) If you had a backstage pass to meet any band/singer in the world, who it be?

3) What was your favorite TV show when you were three?

4) Pick a song that describes you or the situation you're in as of right now.

5) Post a picture of your favorite shoes:)

6) If you could create a new word to put in the dictionary, what would it be?
