Tumblr Q&A #2

Here's part 2 of a questionnaire I found of tumblr!  Hope you're having fun with this like I am!

Give me the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word "heart."

  • My biology/English teacher whose last name is Hart.

Basic question; what's your favorite color/colors?
  • Blues of all different shades, and the ones that have a little hint of green in them :)

What is your current desktop picture?
  • Me with a couple soccer players at the Dynamo stadium groundbreaking ceremony a couple years ago (hence the dorky hard hat) (Ignore the fact that I look awful - that was a while ago....)

 

You accidentally eat some radioactive vegetables. They were good, and what's even cooler is that they endow you with the super-power of your choice! What is that power?
  • The power to have all your wishes true.  BOOM!  Cuz then I could wish for all the super-powers in the world! Yup -  I just out-smarted the system. You can thank me next time you eat radioactive vegetables and need to come up with a power and you use that.
You can re-live any point of time in your life. The time-span can only be a half-hour, though. What half-hour of your past would you like to experience again?
  • The half-hour at the Newsboys concert when I got to go backstage and meet Anthem Lights.  Best night of my life :)
You just got a free plane ticket to anywhere. You have to depart right now. Where are you gonna go?
  • Uhhh obviously I'm going to Europe! If I can only go to one place, then I'm going to London :)

What was the last movie you saw?
  • Love's Christmas Journey, one of the prequels to the Love Comes Softly Series :)
Do you have any obsessions right now?
  • Just the usual ones :) BBC Robin Hood, Anthem Lights, and British actors/movies/TV shows/accents!  And I got a glockenspiel (it's like a xylophone, just awesomer :) and I'm sooo excited :)  My newest musical obsession is For King and Country (they're two Australian brothers with cool accents - how can you not like them?) I'm going to see them live in May, and I'm so excited!  And you gotta love killing two birds with one stone, so here are a couple of videos of For King and Country playing a glockenspiel ;)



Ever had a rumor spread about you?
  • If I have, it's never gotten back to me!

What's the last thing you purchased?
  • A glockenspiel, clothes, and shoes :)
How many relationships have you had?
  • I have a relationship with Jesus Christ.  That's about it!
What were you doing last night at 12 AM?
  • Uhhh sleeping! Like I always am :) I'm not a night owl.  Or a morning person for that matter.  I like sleep too much for either :)


You are walking down the street on your way to work. There is a dog drowning in the canal on the side of the street. Your boss has told you if you are late one more time you get fired. What do you do?
  • Walk by quickly because dogs are scary and the dog might stop drowning and it could come towards me and how awful and terrifying would that be?!? *prepares for the "you're scared of dogs?!?" comments*
You are at the doctor’s office and she has just informed you that you have approximately one month to live. a) Do you tell anyone/everyone you are going to die? b) What do you do with your remaining days? c) Would you be afraid?
  • a) Yes - I tell everyone
  • b) I live life to the fullest.  I serve others like crazy, love my friends and people with everything I got, maybe try to knock off a couple bucket list items, get so excited to go to Heaven, and live a life that makes a mark on the world for Jesus
  • c) being a person who doesn't like medical stuff, I'd probably be scared of the actual moment of death, but I'd be so excited about going to see Jesus.

because they're not "little things" when done for the kingdom

Here's a post I wrote on my iPhone one night a while ago :)

Recently I've been thinking about my life and wanting to do big things for God's kingdom. But the other night as I was lying in bed, I felt that God gave me a direction for my life, and now my outlook has changed. I want to do little things for God. You don't usually hear people say that, and it might sound like laziness or lack of passion for the kingdom to some people, but it's not. Here's what I mean when I say that I want to do little things: I want to touch people's lives by doing small things to show them God's love. I want to touch as many people as I can. It might be as simple as smiling to people in the grocery store, being a friend to someone who doesn't have one, being extra nice to a waiter, or helping around the house. Because, you see, the little things are important. So much of our lives revolve around the little things, so we can show God's love to people in their day-to-day lives. I might not become a missionary, start an orphanage, or do "big things" like that on a large scale, but I can be a light to my family, my school, and my community. Because when they are done for God's kingdom and through His love, there are no such things as big things or little things - they're all kingdom things. So as I go into 2013, I want be intentional about touching the lives of people around me by doing the little things I can to show God's love. Wanna join me?

Tumblr Q&A #1

Wassup, y'all?!?  I found this questionnaire on Tumblr, and it is so much fun to fill out!  There are 60 questions, so I'll probably end up doing a couple posts so I can answer a bunch of them :) (And just in case you're trying to guess how the pictures relate to the questions, they don't, I just wanted to put them in there.  And in typical Mallory fashion, two of the three pictures are of food :)

Enjoy!

 Put your iTunes on shuffle. Give me the first 6 songs that pop up.
  • Feel It In Your Heart by Abandon
  • Boundaries by Skillet (never even heard this song, but it's on my phone, haha :)
  • Save A Life by Manic Drive
  • Complete by Kutless
  • Hero by Skillet (well they're popping up a lot today, aren't they?)
  • Mistakes by Kutless (Ok I promise I have more on my phone than Kutless and Skillet, although you wouldn't know it based on this!)
If you could meet anyone on this earth, who would it be?
  • Probably Lauricia, one of my best friends :) I met her through blogging, but I've never met her in person.  Either her or Richard Armitage ;)

Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 23, give me line 17.
  • The book is my dad's old economics textbook (don't ask why it's the nearest book to me, ask my brother) Line 17 says: "If we start from the origin (where both X and Y are zero) and the slope of the ray is 1" Sounds so interesting, maybe I should read more later. A clue, no. (Sorry, it's a Robin Hood joke, you gotta be a Robin Hood fan to get that :)
Simple but extremely complex. Favorite band?
  • Yaw that's complex!  I gotta say that my all-time favorite band is Thousand Foot Krutch.  And I'm gonna be a good girl and not qualify it or list all my other favorites, just gonna keep it simple.
What does your URL mean?
  • faith life photos. That's what I post about! (And thisisme was already taken :)

Do you have a collection of anything?
  • Uh yaw I do!  I have between 30 and 40 nutcrackers that I put out at Christmas time and 13 items in the Vera Bradley Boysenberry pattern. (Today I went to school with 5 different things from my collection - I had a boysenberry pen in a boysenberry pencil case in a boysenberry backpack.  Yeah, it's a problem.)
What's a sound you hate; sound you love?
  • Forks and Knives scraping against each other. *shudder*  I'd have to either go with Kyle Kupecky's (formerly of Anthem Lights) uh-maz-ing voice or the email noise on my iPhone. (Yup, I'm weird. But I love getting emails and I love that sound!)
Stick your right arm out; what do you touch first? Do the same with your left arm.
  • Nothing - just air.  The wall.
Smell the air. What do you smell?
  • Absolutely nothing.

To you, what is the meaning of life?
  • To bring glory to God.
Do you drive? If so, have you ever crashed?
  • I just got my permit, so I don't drive much yet.  Although I did drive home once we got to our neighborhood today.  Most.stressful.thing.ever. Ok so maybe that an overstatement, but it wasn't particularly fun, especially when there were cars coming.  So yeah... But at least I didn't crash!

life in iphone pictures...

...because your phone is the place where you capture everyday life :)

Enjoy a tour through the pictures on my iPhone!

Warning: most of these pictures are basically of how crazy fun my family, friends, and I are...

I dare you to say that he's not the cutest thing you've ever seen in your life.... Go ahead, try, you can't do it! (He wore these 3D glasses with the lenses punched out to church :)


My brother texts this to me one day...wow...

Megan and I tried coffee for the first time...and absolutely hated it... But, hey, at least we can say that we tried it now!


I got a pair of glasses.  Do I need glasses? No.  Did I want glasses?  Yes. Do they make me look smart?  Yes.  Nuff' said. 


Lookin' good with my face mask :)


My Vera Bradley obsession collection :)  I now have 11 items in Boysenberry, my pattern!  That's not excessive, is it?


Yeah, I go to accessory stores with my friends and take pictures wearing random things we find... Do you not?


 And last but not least, pictures from my Youth and Government State conference :)  
1. There's a banquet night when we all dress up, so I got this new dress!!
2. Haha my brother has a polar bear hat that he wears all the time :)
3.  The beautiful Texas Capitol building!
4. The youth governor signing my bill into "law"  If you're not familiar with Youth and Government, that's not going to make any sense, but the picture looks all official, so I like it :)
