Tell 5 things about yourself II

^ I'm glad to hear someone else liked Mansfield Park. :D

I'm not sure what to say about myself... I'll make it rather random like others have:

1) I made a Tumblr account and I'm not sure why I bothered, truly, having no particular need for it.
2) My bedroom could be mistaken for a teenager's as a lot of my likes are quite 'young' to some.
3) I really don't know what's best for myself, for my future, etc., and am not sure I ever will know.
4) I don't really like spreading butter on my sandwiches (but I do for toast).
5) I'm not keen on the taste of alcohol.
 
favorite flower: freesia (because its fragrance that means Spring)
favorite musical: Quilters
favorite foods: salad, fruit, popcorn
favorite web series: Autobiography of Jane Eyre
favorite book: not sure but I think it is going to be Les Miserables (currently reading it, and it is wonderful)
 
There was a time when I wanted to become a watchmaker and I've made a practical training.

I just always find a moment to quote Wilde. There's a Wilde quote for absolutely anything! And I have to keep myself from quoting him all the time...

I looove pocket watches! Pocket watches are so kewl ;D And they take you to the future!

I love ALL kinds of tea! I don't simply stick to "my sort" or "my brand" or "my way of preparing it". I love it black and green and white and red and herbal and fruity and spicy, with and without sugar, almond milk, lemon and so on!

I despise insincereity and false friendlyness. I'd rather have someone offending me instead of sweet-talking me and talking bad behind my back.
 
1. my refrigerator is so full it looks dark when I open the door.
2. I just finished Read Through the Bible in One Year --in 3-1/2 years
3. my whole family has been reading through the Bible together off and on ever since my son started high school. We are still in Matthew, and my son will graduate from College in May -- so we're taking our time.
4. Five words I love to hear: Mom, can I cook tonight?

1) I'm recovering from a frightful attack of gout.

2) I'm recovering from a very severe chest cold.

3) My finances _aren't_ really recovering yet.

4) I'm glad to have been able to spend good time with my mother.

5) In _every_ Presidential election year in the 21st century, I've lost someone I loved. In 2004, my first wife Mary died. In 2008, my second wife Janalee died. In 2012, my father Richard Ravitts died. I'm praying that my mother, my _third_ wife Carol, my daughter, and my grandson all survive through 2016.

hmmmmmm lets see :)

hmmm let me see

1 i like to do crafts

2 i like Christian music & the 70's & 80's

3 i attend a Nazerne church in Eastern OR

4 i'm working out with resstiance bands

5 i dislike tomatoes & avacadoes
 
1. I am giving up late night surfing starting tomorrow

2. I got to go to a marriage mentoring conference with my husband this weekend

3. Given a choice between going to Disneyland or the San Diego Zoo I would pick the zoo every time because it is never the same experience twice; different animals will be active each time so it is always a fresh experience -- there is always something new to see like the pangolin, or the hippos playing "who has the biggest mouth" under water

4. My family always names our cars; currently we have Auggie (for St. Augustine), Tomodachi (Japanese for "friends" because he was given to us by friends), and Percival (because my son likes that name and it is Arthurian)

5. I am learning American sign language
 
Benisse - the late night surfing is a problem for me as well...

1. I only have two and a half weeks left and then I will have finished my first year of graduate school!

2. I am also a little terrified because I found out that my assistantship that is paying for my tuition as well as a work stipend doesn't carry through the summer, so I will need to find a summer job or go without income for three-ish months

3. On Saturday I took my horse to his very first competition and he did very well, calm the whole time and we placed third in both of our classes!

4. In about 30 minutes I have to go back to campus to record a recital that's going on tonight. Yay, grad assistant life (but it pays my tuition so I really can't complain)

5. Although I am going through grad school and enjoying it, there is a part of me that wonders if I will want to teach again when this is all done, and if I don't will I have wasted my time?
 
I like driving fast and am paying for it in the process.

I love animals.

I loved the narnia books since I was little.

I'm kind of an introvert and am always going over things internally.

I hold you all in high esteem and yes, love you all as brothers and sisters in Christ or potential ones.


Hey, you asked.
