Music Tag!

/ Abbie / 2 Comments

When I saw this post on Allison’s blog, I knew I had to do it myself.  I have a post list as long as my arm in my head (half of which are recaps of my trip to California with way too many pictures 😛), and I told her that I would do it after that.  Then I couldn’t help experimenting and seeing what my phone would come up with.  And after that I realized it wouldn’t be a bad idea to post it while working on the momentous task of editing the pictures and writing the posts. 😆  Thank goodness I’m not doing anything huge on the picture front. Mostly cropping and adjusting the color because my phone always makes things look kind of washed out.  Anyway, back to the music. 😉 <- a common refrain you will hear throughout this post. 😜

Here are the “rules”:

  • List the first 10 songs that come on shuffle (no skipping, that’s cheating).
  • Write your favorite lyric from each song (I’m also rambling about the song; what I like the song, why I have it, and other random things that come to mind. 😜 ) .
  • Tag/link back to your enemies (and maybe some friends, too).

Quizzing – My Early Years

/ Abbie / 4 Comments

I have mentioned bible quizzing multiple times, and more precisely the people involved and how much I miss them.  In that spirit, and since this fall weather has got me missing them yet again, I figured it was a good excuse to tell you a bit more about this program I loved so much, and helped shaped me into who I am today.

Originally, I was going to make one post about it, but I think that would be way too much information all at once.  I’ve already created a page about quizzing, with some of the basics of how it works, so that you can hopefully understand a bit about it without me having to go into it again here. (If you haven’t read that, and want this post to make sense, you might want to check it out.  It’s pretty short and succinct, but you could also wing it and see if you can understand this without the context.  You may very well be able to; it’s hard for me to tell, since I’m from the inside, and already understand everything. 🙂 Either way, I hope you enjoy what you read!)
