yup, angora rabbits. We just gave them a haircut. They went from the size of a terrier to the size of a regular rabbit in about a half hour. That is a LOT of hair! I will post a pic later.

Either blue or yellow.

I love birds, especially hawks and falcons. I also love horses.

Daisy, look up "16 personality types", it should be the first result. You will know the site by it's geometric charries. I took it, and found it to be reasonably accurate.

Yay! Horray for six siblings! I have four little brothers and a sister (for whom I prayed soooo long)!

Hey, my sister and I were just listening to God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen by Pentatonix! We like them a lot. Have you seen Pentatonix's history of music? It's really cool.

Has a strong love for God, and is just bursting with potential.

(November 30, 2016 - 8:23 pm)
@BHR: Oh my gosh! You like Trixie Beldon?! Me too! I absolutely LOVE those books!! I really got into them in 5th grade when I first found them at a used book store. I still love reading them, though!! I LOVE Nacy Drew too! :):)
(December 1, 2016 - 9:26 am)
@HSG: Yes! I'm a huge fan! Awesome to meet someone else, since they're not a widely known series! I discovered them several years ago after a friend found them. I'd already been into Nancy Drew for a long time. The setting, the time period, the characters, the mysteries themselves... all right up my alley! I haven't read them all yet though. I plan to!
(December 2, 2016 - 2:05 pm)
This is such a good idea! It really helped me figure out who is who a bit better on here.
Favorite color?
Almost any shade of blue or green. The best one, if I must choose, is turquois.
Favorite animal?
Ohhhh... Tough one. Ummmm.... Maybe
What do you want to be when you grow up?
Either a Pediatrician or a Psychiatrist. I really want to help people, especially kids.
Tell us about your best friend :)
She is on the CB. She is fun, wild, crazy, and I am her adopted sister. Or so we say. :) I spend a lot of time at her house, and am fairly close with the other members of her family. Oh, and I, for some strange reason, think she looks kind of like one of those cute, triangle-ish shaped frogs. Do not ask, my brain is strange.
Hobbies?
Swimming, triathlon, reading, writing, exploring the forest, biking.
Favorite season?
Summer
Who's in your family?
My mom, my dad, and my younger sister. My parents were both born in Russia. All of my extended family lives in Russia, and I have only met one of my cousins in real life. Once. Years ago.
Top three favorite songs?
Not necessarily in this order:
1. Glow by Ella Henderson
2. Human by Christina Perri
3. Immigrants from the Hamilton mixtape
What's something about you that people don't expect?
I'm not the quiet, shy, 'smart' girl everyone thinks I am. Doing well in math is a huge effort for me. Everything else I learn by doing books that cover all of the subjects of the next grade level the summer before, so that I am somewhat prepared. I study hard. And I have a terrible logic that no one else except maybe one or two people understand. And I am entirely capable of being a wild child, if I'm in the right environment.
What are your strengths and weaknesses?
I'm very insecure. I care a lot about what people think of me. I am afraid of people. I give a 10 effort for everything I do. I don't do something unless I care about it a lot. I have other stuff, but I'm too lazy to type it up.
What Myers Briggs personality type are you?
I'm sorry, I don't know what that is.
Sky or ocean?
Do not force me to make this decision. I am a swimmer (both pool and open water), so the ocean holds a special place in my heart. Yet, I love the freedom of flying (on a plane or otherwise). So, I can't choose.
Day or night?
Again. Impossible. I have special connections to both. Maybe I lean towards day a bit more.
The last thing that gave you chills (Not because of the cold XD)
Finally figuring out how to play this beautiful song called Celaena's Lament. It felt so good, and I was very proud of myself.
Favorite books, movies, and TV series?
Throne of Glass series. I don't really watch TV. Favourite movie: Chestnut
(December 1, 2016 - 10:25 am)
I can totally relate to this-
And I am entirely capable of being a wild child, if I'm in the right environment.
I just don't think I've been able to put that into words before. Like, pretty much everything I do depends on who is around me- that's how insecure and afraid of being judged I am. I know it's irrational. Sigh...
(December 3, 2016 - 8:10 pm)
Oh, I'm doing this too!
Favorite color?
Blue and black.
Favorite animal?
Bunny, cat, fox, raccoon.
What do you want to be when you grow up?
I dunno. I don't actually know what to do with my life.
Tell us about your best friend :)
That would be @ScoutXChaliseXHearts. She lives far away from me, but when I do see her, we make weird videos and talk about silly things. Oh, and write silly stories.
Hobbies?
Art, gaming, Sylvanian Families collecting... hm, that's about it.
Favorite season?
Either Winter or Summer. Snow, or no school work? I can't decide.

???
