Authentic People Blog Party {Just for Fun}

{Introduce Yourself} 

\

My name is Sveta.
Well, that's actually my nickname, but I don't like to put my full name on the internet.
 And yes, it is Russian, and no, I am not Russian; nor was a born there. 

I will soon be able to sing "Sixteen-Going-on-Seventeen" accurately. 

I'm tall. 5'8.5" to be exact. And I don't talk much -- unless I know you really well. 

I like to express my self in different forms of art -- photography, music, scrap booking, etc...

I love old-fashioned things, but with a modern twist too them. 

 I love to read. C.S. Lewis is awesome, and so is any missionary story. 

I play the violin/fiddle, am learning the recorder, 

and want to play the mandolin and cello. 

I am a sophomore in highschool (and homeschooled :).

And most importantly, I am a born again Christian. 

What's the nerdiest/geekiest/weirdest thing about you?

I kinda like oatmeal...and don't really like chicken. 

And, I'm always correcting people's grammar when they talk, and grammar in writing. 

Which is kind of rude, so I'm trying to break the habit.

Little or big, practical or frivolous, what is one of your favorite items in your house?

Probably our record player. Yes, we have one. :) And it's awesome! It's got two big speakers, (Big thumbs up!) plays records, cd's, the radio, or tapes, and we can plug the computer in to it too. Oh, the sound is MUCH better on it too...and if you know me. Music is an essential in my life. 

Do you like animated movies? If so, what is your favorite? 

Yes! And I would have to say Tangled is at the top of my list of favorites.

What is your favorite household chore?

Sweeping. I don't know why, but I just like to sweep. And if you call cooking a chore, I love doing that. (In fact, I cooking dinner as I writing this post.) 

What is your favorite pizza topping?

Just about anything. But two restrictions: it's got to have meat, and no mushrooms. 

Waffles or pancakes?

Waffles. Defiantly waffles. :)

Do you like to play games? If so, what is your favorite?

I love to play games! I like a fast paced one...dutch blitz, spoons. Oh, and Euchre is a favorite in our home.

Have you ever dyed your hair?

Nope. And I don't ever plan on it. I think each person's natural hair color looks the best. "For you are fearfully and wonderfully made..." God gave you that color for a reason. :)

Do you make your bed every morning? 

Uhhh...no! 

(My mom is out to fix that though...)

Do you like carpet, tile, or hardwood floors?

Hardwood. Except in the bathrooms -- tile.  (I love our wood floors, they came from an old army barracks, and really have that "vintage" feel to them)

What is the last thing that made you laugh?

I try to laugh everyday. It's healthy you know. :) The last time I remember laughing a lot, was last night. Our youth group went caving. And us girls went up a "side route", and have to "crawl" on your stomachs. We were all laughing at each other. Boy were we muddy when we finished. But it was so. much. FUN!

Head on over, and enter! There are over $200 worth of prizes too. :)
