Memes

O.K., here comes a wave of memes. One I picked up, another I volunteered for, and still another I was tagged for. So here goes:

Name Meme:

1. What is your name? - Rebekah

2. A four-letter word? - Rent

3. A vehicle? - Radio-controlled car

4. A city? - Rancho Santa Margarita (it's in Southern California, it's just the first city starting with an R that I thought of)

5. A Boy's Name? - Reagan (I admire the president)

6. A Girl's Name? - Rachel (one of my very good friends)

7. A movie/film? - Remember the Titans (I've never seen it, I just searched the web for a movie starting with R and got that)

8. An occupation? - Reaper (not the Grim, but rather someone who gathers in crops)

9. Something you wear? - Removable sleeves...I couldn't think of anything else!

10. A Celebrity? - Reba McEntire

11. A Food? - Red bell peppers (I don't like them, but I couldn't think of anything else)

12. Something found in the kitchen? - Recipes

13. Something found in the bathroom? - Razors

14. A Reason for being late? - not Remembering where your car is

15. A Cartoon Character? - Roadrunner

16. Something you shout? - "it's Raining!"

17. An animal? - Rhinocerous

18. A Body Part? - Rear end (there's another part, too, but I think you know which that is)

19. A word to describe you? - not Rebellious...I couldn't think of anything else

I picked this one up, so I won't tag anybody for it.


Book Meme:

1) One book that changed your life: the Bible, without a doubt. I'm not going to say what version is best, since I believe that the Bible is the Word of God and is inerrant in its original manuscripts.

2) One book that you have read more than once: Hmmm...pretty much any good book

3) One book you would want on a desert island: I would have to say that if I could only take one book, it would be the Bible.

4) Two books that made you laugh: Books by Stephen Bly ; Cranes in My Corral, by Dayton O. Hyde (very, very funny! About a rancher who decides to raise 4 sandhill cranes).

5) One book that made you cry: A Walk to Remember, by Nicholas Sparks

6) One book you wish you'd written: Any good book, particularly any book written by Stephen Bly

7) One book you wish had never been written: Any book that exemplifies, exonerates, or exalts a different belief or lifestyle than what our Savior wants us to have.

8) Two books you're reading: I'm working on rereading the Anne of Green Gables series by L. M. Montgomery; I'm in the middle of Blind Man's Bluff, the Untold Story of American Submarine Espionage, by Sherry Sontag and Christopher Drew with Annette Lawrence Drew.

9) One book you're going to read: I intend someday to finish reading Plato's Five Great Dialogues, and someday I intend to read Homer's The Iliad and the Odyssey

This one I volunteered for, so I'm not going to tag anybody for this one, either.


This one I was tagged for by Daughter of Mac Children 4
Random Meme:

01. Link to the person that tagged you
02. Post the rules on your blog
03. Share 6 non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself
04. Tag 6 random people at the end of your post
05. Let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog


1. When I'm feeling self-conscious, I begin to shift my weight from foot to foot, and often rub the top of the free foot on the calf of the weighted foot. I also blush.

2. I have this strange quirk about necklaces -- I can't stand to see the clasp of a necklace hanging down by the pendant. What's even stranger is that one of my cousins also has this quirk.

3. I have wanted to join the military since I was a small child, though not consistently (I, as all children do, wavered many times as to what I wanted to do when I grew up).

4. I like to write fiction, but I'm not really very good at it. I stink at mysteries (so predictable they might as well be called no-mysteries), and my westerns resemble stories that a six-year-old might tell you. The only book I've ever written that I think is any good was juvenile contemporary Christian, and maybe sometime I can look into having it published or something. But for now, I only write for my own amusement, because if anyone else reads them, they're way too amusing because they aren't very good!

5. Kids tend to flock to me. Why, I don't know, except that I like kids as much as they like me, but it seems like any neighborhood we're in, I end up with a fan club!

6. I pretty much always wear a hat when I'm not inside a house, usually my black cowboy hat, but if I'm working out or something I'll wear my Kawasaki baseball cap.

I'm going to tag:
1. Under Southern Skies
2. Dad of 3 Girls
3. Little Drummer Boy
4. Because He Lives
5. Heart of Praise
6. The Days of My Life

That's all for now!
