Apparently, it's normal to dream several times a night, but most memories of dreams fade very quickly.* 5.

What is your favorite joke? xP *The one about going through traffic lights. I suppose you want me to tell it. Two guys (or girls if you prefer) were in car. As they came up to a red light, the driver sped up and ran right through the light. The passenger asked, "What are you doing?!" The driver responded, "It's all right, my brother taught me how to drive." They came to another red light and again the driver slammed on the accelerator and ran through the light. The passenger said again, "What are you doing?! You're going to get us killed!" The drive responded again, "It's all right. My brother taught me how to drive." Then they came to a green light and the driver slammed on his breaks and stopped. The passenger asked, "What are you doing? It's a green light this time! You can go." The driver responded, "Are you kidding?! My brother could be driving near here."* 9. What has been your favorite age so far? *Sixteen* 10. Do you want to publish a book one day? *Yes, I suppose I do. Maybe.* 11. Have you ever been out of the country? Where did you go? *I was born in Poland. My parents were missionaries there. Other than that, I don't think I've spent a significant amount of time in another country.* 12. How many siblings do you have? *Only five.* 13. Are you a hat person? :P *No, not usually. Unless it's cold outside.* 14. Are you good at keeping secrets? xD *I don't know. I don't usually try to keep anything secret.*

1. 1, and no.
2. Don't have one. (Unless you count the family computer, which I have no idea what it is…)
3. Camo
4. Dunno. :P
5. Not a chance. The only person I like talking to is myself.
6. Too many choices to choose from…!
7. There was two times I possibly broke a bone, but never told my parents, so I have no idea.
8. I have no sense of humor.
9. 14
10. Nope.
11. Nope.
12. 3 brothers
13. Depends on the kind of hat. :P

What is your current screensaver/desktop background? *Screensaver is these random ribbons of color that streak across the screen, and my desktop background is, I think the same as last time, a picture of a foot bridge in OR, with overhanging, moss-covered trees, and a little brook.* 3. What is your favorite color? *Blue* 4. What was your last dream about? *Driving the truck with my brother in the passenger seat. I was trying to get it turned around and pulled back into the drive way before they shut down the main street for repairs. And for some reason I couldn't just turn it around on our street.* 5. Do you enjoy public speaking? *Immensely* 6. Favorite song? *When Dreams Come True :P* 7. Ever broke a bone? *Nope* 8. What is your favorite joke? xP *"If it moves, tax it! If it continues to move, regulate it! If it stops moving, subsidize it!" Not exactly a joke, but I greatly appreciate political satire."* 9. What has been your favorite age so far? *Probably the last one before this one, however I might like this one better by the time it's over.* 10. Do you want to publish a book one day? *Maybe, probably, but I could live without it.* 11. Have you ever been out of the country? Where did you go? *No, but I've been to the Mexican and Canadian boarders. (And the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.)* 12. How many siblings do you have? *Just one* 13. Are you a hat person? :P *This is so funny, I was thinking about writing some more questions, and I was going to ask this too. :D No. xP* 14.

I'm sure there are. Don't laugh, it's from a movie. "I see You here, I feel Your hand, Vast and mysterious is Your plan. If all things start and end with You, Then I can believe that dreams come true." The song used to be online, but now I can only find where you can buy the CD.
:P

You know you're a low-budget photographer when…..
you have to use a compact point and shoot as an off camera flash xD

Good bye, Memverse! I'll see you in 11 days!

^may check in the AM before I leave^

I know it's not quite May yet, but I wanted to ask some new questions. xD 1. How many years have you done the Bible Bee? Have you qualified, and what years? *Seven, 2010-2015* 2. What is your current screensaver/desktop background? *Same as last time... no screensaver, lock screen has a slideshow of mostly BB pictures, and desktop background is a pic of me with a couple dear friends. xD* 3.

Do you enjoy public speaking? *Sure! Most of the time. :P* 6. Favorite song? *My favorite hymn is _Be Still, My Soul_.

Classical, I'm not sure if I have a favorite, but the first one that comes to mind is Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture.* 7. Ever broke a bone? *Nope!* 8. What is your favorite joke? xP *Hehe, I can't tell you what my favorite joke is, but I can tell you what my mom's favorite joke is: What is the best time to go to the dentist? Tooth-hurty! xP* 9. What has been your favorite age so far? *I think I agree with Emily, 17 was a great age, but I may end up liking this year even better.* 10. Do you want to publish a book one day? *Well... Sure! I suppose. I mean, I like to write, but I'll probably never get around to it. Hehe xP Realistically, I'm way more likely to start a blog than write a book.* 11. Have you ever been out of the country? Where did you go? *Never in my life, surprisingly! I've just been a mile from the Mexican border.* 12. How many siblings do you have? *Ten living* 13.

Why would I laugh? :P Okay, cool!

^Hey, wait, I'm probably wrong, it was just a random thought that popped into my head, but is that song from Joseph or another S&S movie…?^

Bye Rachel! Have fun! Tell us about it when you get back! :)

3. What is your favorite color? *Green is my favorite color for traffic lights.*

It's sort of in the same category as this one:

How do you keep a gullible person in suspense?

How? How? Tell me how. I can't stand the suspense!

Ahem That comment was in reference to a conversation I had with Zachary at Game Show, I think. Or was it Nats? Anyways, context is important. ;P

As for what is wrong with rap, nothing is inherently evil about it. Zach and I just dislike a lot of it. (Actually, Zach may not like any of it - Zach, do you? :P) I'm okay with some rap, and I can even say that I like a few rap songs, but I greatly prefer rappers with a more "natural" voice such as Lecrae or Capital Kings. Andy Mineo, Tedashii, Manafest, and such are just… not my cup of tea. =P

I feel soooo loooooonnnngwindeeeeeed when I post something like that… Lol xP
