Random Me?

>> Tuesday, February 24, 2009


I did this thing on Facebook and thought I might post it here for y'all here. I combined a few things and added some more so here are 50 random things about me. (It took me days to think all of these up! )

1 I always feel bad doing these because they make me feel vain and self centered. However I love reading other peoples and turn about *is* fair play...

2 I love rocking chairs

3 I have VERY green eyes

4 It has always been a dream of mine to be a figure skater

5 I am not a big fan of food, I eat it when I am hungry, but not for the pleasure of eating.

6 I love maps and geography

7 When I grow up ;) it is a dream of mine to have a whole room in my house devoted to books. It will have books floor to ceiling on three walls and the fourth wall will face outside and big a glass/window wall.

8 I rarely get too hot in the summer and I freeze all winter.

9 I am very protective of my socks, and I take very good care of them :D

10 I am ambidextrous but I write primarily with my right hand. I can write just fine with my left though.

11 I am not a coffee drinker, nor a tea person. Wine, and beer never set too well with me and I like water...but my thing is milk. Whole, non-pasteurized, raw milk. I drink about a half a gallon, approximately, a day.

12 I have 12 pairs of shoes including my mud boots and Idiot shoes.

13 I am a night person. I get really tired from about 4:30 - 7:30 every evening but then I can be awake for hours and not be bothered. I do my best thinking then and it is really nice and quiet!

14 For as long as I can remember I was going to name my first born son Jonathan Mark. ( Emily and I even fought over it long ago, but I got the rights since I *did* think it up!)

15 My only real food weakness is mayonnaise and I like it on everything!

16 I can swim and dive

17 At the recommendation of a friend I just read "The Hobbit" for the first time. It was ummmm "Engaging"

18 I scratch my head when I am thinking

19 I love the rain

20 I hate cats

21 I have a Buck 119 and I use it to sharpen my pencils. ( Michael gave it to me for my 14th birthday)

22 Someday I will own this http://specialtydefenseandsports.com/images/albums/NewAlbum_ac2da/tn_10-22_pink-ss.jpg

38.My brother gave me a Buck 115 on my 13th birthday and I use it to sharpen pencils and trim my nails :D

39.I have never watched a R rated movie

40. I have a secret liking for Taylor Swift's "Love Story" , "White Horse", and Miranda Lambert's "Shot gun" song. I don't exactly agree with the theology which is why I try to keep mum about it, but I do like them for my own reasons.

I love those randoms!! I like reading them when other people do them, but I'm not sure I'd come up with interesting ones about myself-I'd probably put everyone to sleep.
Yeah-- and I hate cats and love the rain. I can't swim (or dive); water is a major no-no for me. I have (not) very green eyes. Oh-- and give love at first sight half a chance!!! :)
Love ya,
~Elizabeth

Very interesting and enlightening. I know where I can get a 5 gallon bucket of Mayonnaise. Good Birthday gift??
I love you,
Mom

I would have to agree, rain is an amazingly fun thing! I love it!

But about the chocolate...

I check your blog FIRST after being gone for ten days hoping so hard you have somthing up and you do not dissapoint me!
50 things????!??!?!!?!? Man....you had to think for a looooong time on this one! I shall have to study them some more....

So fun! Thought I would tell you what ran through my head as I read them :)

# 7 - Me too. And I kinda have it now…in my living room. I just haven't actually unpacked my 15 more boxes of books and put them on my wonderful 8 ft tall 4 ft wide shelves.

# 11 - Wow, you have Ragnar beat. It takes him 2 days to go through a half gallon. Must be because he also drinks coffee :)

# 30, 31 - You are strange

# 32 - Agree with you there, totally

# 37 - Hilarious that your two dream vehicles happen to be the 2 vehicles we own. Come visit us sometime and you can drive my jeep (obviously you don't need to drive the truck, since Michael has one too ;)

# 38 - That's kind of a repeat of # 21

# 46 - Me too. Except I don't have to do it secretly, as my husband shares my hatred of stuff, and my daughter doesn't care.

# 50 - I saw a fun twist on that the other day - "When life gives you lemons, throw them back. Harder. " :)

Oh my, Angela, I did put the knife thing in there twice didn't I? :-P

Anna B. March 2, 2009 at 9:35 AM  

Ooo Fun! I always like hearing random things about people!
I totally agree with you on #7!!!! I love book!!! #8 is pretty good too! But I highly disagree on #31!!!! I don't know how you can not like Ice Cream!

Why Jonathan Mark? It is the meaning?

Hillary Hipps March 5, 2009 at 8:53 PM  

Elizabeth, No, I still do not believe in love at first sight. I believe in infatuation at first sight, but true love is not something that can be at first sight. Of course that leads one to the "What is the definition of love"... and while I love discussing it maybe we should save it for Sunday!



Mark, I am not really sure why I chose that name. But I know it was not for the meaning. We had a good friend named Jonathan that passed away some years ago and we didn't know anyone named Mark but it just had such a pleasant ring to it. Jonathan Mark was a very respectable and cute name that had a nice sound. I think that is why I chose it, but you are making me reach waaaay back in the far recesses of my memory now!
