So, Mr. Valance was tagged to answer some questions before, and he challenged ALL of his readers to answer the queries he posted for us. Me being the good sport I am, I accept the challenge. Ia li!
1 Best subject?
DEFINITELY History, especially the "Old West" and Native Culture
2 And the worst?
Probably Biological Science
3 What do wish you’d tried harder at?
Sports. Except archery, I never really enjoyed anything else...
4 Your proudest moment?
Being accepted into my county 4-H Hall of Fame
5 And your worst moment?
I was clumsy... Pick any time I fell down while standing still, and THAT'S my worst moment.
6 Something you wish you’d done?
I wish I would have had the chance to travel more growing up
7 Something you wish you hadn’t done?
Wish I had NEVER lied to mama... BIG mistake as a kid
8 The worst punishment?
The school calling mom. She had a paddle, and I'd get a whippin from her, the principle, the teacher, and my dad. Then, I had to call my grandparents, my "4-H mom", my aunts and uncles, and others who were like family and tell them what I'd done. The thought scared me so much that I never got in trouble in school.
9 The worst thing you had to wear?
Pink. I found pictures, from when I was little, of me wearing pink. I want to go back in time and slap the kid version of me sometimes.
10 The best school trip?
I was in Gifted & Talented in elementary school (like a group for smart kids). One year, they took us on a trip to "Woolaroc". It's a park/museum full of Native, cowboy, and oil boom history. We were there the whole day, and I STILL didn't even see half of it! I hope I get to go back sometime. The part I remember best was driving in. It was a mile or two drive trough a wildlife preserve full of buffalo, deer, and several other animals. It was SO pretty!
11 And the worst school trip?
Probably in 4th grade when they took us to the state capitol. It was interesting, but I don't think that was a very good trip for our age group. They should have waited till we were older so EVERYONE could appreciate it, not just me and one or two others.
Well, I hope you liked the answers you got. I won't tag anyone because I don't have many people who read this anyway. Till next time. Chi pisa lachike!

Answering Questions for Mr. Valance
Mr. Valance tagged me, so I have to answer these questions. Ia li! (Here I go!)
What is the best thing about where you live?
Well, there is a town (where the college is at), but there's a lot of open country round here. The best part is waking up in the morning and seeing the early golden sunshine spilling out over the green pastures filled with fog.
If you could be anyone you wanted to be, other than yourself, who would you be?
I'd have to be a sign language interpreter for some of my favorite singers.
What is your favorite item of clothing?
Without a doubt, it'd have to be my boots. I'm a cowgirl at heart, and boots are ALWAYS going to be high fashion!
Who, or what, inspires you the most?
Dwight Yoakam, he's a great singer and actor. He is so true to himself and where he's from. He does music his way, whether others like it or not. His music has allowed for a lot of sign language practice for me.
Do you use public transport?
If I have to, yes, but I try to walk as far as I can.
What is most likely to set off the fire alarm at home?
Well, just about anything I guess, we used to use the fire alarm as a timer: when it goes off, supper's ready!
What do you do to stay healthy?
Do what you like. I like sign language, archery, and crafts. I believe that when you have things you enjoy doing, you are more likely to have a healthier life.
If you could pass one new law, what would it be?
I would make honesty the law of the land, like the Native Americans practiced. That old saying of "My word is my bond".
Pondering about uniforms, as I sometimes do, is there a uniform that grabs your attention?
Navy uniforms from the World War II time frame, like what Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra wore in "Anchors Aweigh".
If you had to choose between who you love and what you love doing, what would win?
What I love doing, because sign language is my thing. I always worry that the man I "love" would ask me not to do ASL, and that would be a horrible existence for me.
What is your best time of day?
The morning is prettiest, but I get most of my work done of an evening.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
I haven't been on in a while, but I have been reading elsewhere. I would, though, like to say a special birthday greeting.
You are more loved than you can ever know. many people go to the porch regularly to rest, catch up, and get away from the norms of life. For that, I thank you. You are always posting things that bring a smile to my face and lighten my day. Thanks for everything, friend!

The "Not-So-Irresistibly Sweet Blogger" lol
Well, I would like to thank Mr. Valance so much for this apparent honor. Although some people may not think I am deserving (shutup, sis) I have hereby been awarded the:
1. I'm a pretty decent photographer, even though I don't always enjoy it. Some people have tried to take advantage of the fact that I'm always really nice when I take pictures for them, and that's not cool :(
2. Over the last summer, I donated 13 inches to Locks of Love. My hair is still fairly short, and it annoys me because I can't feel my braid on my back, and I can't see it when I throw it over my shoulder.
3. You can tell from my profile picture that I like archery, but did you know that I don't like to hunt? Yep, it's true. I'm one of the few Okies who just doesn't care for it.
4. I LOVE Country music! My FAVORITE artist is Dwight Yoakam! He's such a cutie pie :)
5. I am a published author (and, no, I'm not talking about this blog). I have had 3 poems and 1 essay published in National Anthologies (and that was while I was in high school!)
6. I like crafts, mostly working with leather, weaving, cross-stitch, and drawing. In high school, people LOVED the dreamcatchers and cowboy boots. I made them with people's initials, their favorite flower, sometimes even the emblem for their club! (like the one I did for 4-H)
7. I am a student of Native American Culture. I have a major in History, and my emphasis will be on Native culture. I also have a minor in Choctaw Language and Culture.
I know that there's no juicy gossip in there about me y'all can spread around and talk about, but I have always tried to delve into my studies, so this is what you get. If you want to know anything else, just ask! I'll do my best to give you a straight-forward answer that you're looking for. Until next time, have a nice day! (Oh! and, about those concert pictures, they'll be up soon enough :D Just have to finish cleaning off the home keyboard. Don't know how all that drool got on there! lol )
