Introducing Me



I'm Chloe. Welcome!
(And yes, that is a chicken on my head)

First of all, and most importantly, I am a Christian.

I am constantly reminded that I am not perfect, but I'm ok with that. I know that I am just the way God created me to be.

I am not as shy as I once was, but I'm still working on stepping out of my comfort-zone.

To counteract that, I am way too sarcastic for my own good.

I'm 18. 

I'm homeschooled, and I love it! 

I'm the second born of six kids.

As a family, we love going to the beach!

I like photography. I'm not that great yet, but hey, practice makes perfect!

I don't understand people who "don't like" reading. 

The Bible

The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy by J. R. R. Tolkien

Heartless by Anne Elisabeth Stengl 

The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe, and The Horse and His Boy by C. S. Lewis

Pretty much any book by Janette Oke.


I also like watching movies (who doesn't?).

The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings trilogies

Pirates of the Caribbean 

The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe

almost anything Marvel related

The Star Wars saga

I practically live on music some days....
I sometimes listen to one song for hours....or days

The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings

Pirates of the Caribbean

Narnia

Les Misérables

On a different note, I love animals. I am often, jokingly, referred to as "The animal whisperer". I do not own a horse, but my neighbor is helping me learn to ride on one of her horses, and I work at a stable.

Our menagerie consists of several chickens, a few ducks, and two cats who hate each other.

    Sweet! We have a lot of things in common! You're a LOTR and Hobbit fan? *bro-fist* OH YEAH! I have no idea why they call it 'Sweet Sixteen':) I know how to write Dwarvish and some Elvish. I really...like REALLY want to learn to speak in Dwarvish and Elvish...it sounds so cool in LOTR and the Hobbit=D The fourth Pirates of the Caribbean has a mermaid in it so it's not the best...plus Will isn't in it so why would I watch it? lols=D Love God's Not Dead=D Love your blog:) I'm looking forward to more posts:)

      *fist-bump back* badaladala

      Yup! What's not to like? It's some of the best literature in the history of ever (besides the Bible, of course), and the movies are second to none!

      That's funny, I actually have the dwarfish alphabet written out. I use it when I write notes to my brother, sometimes. But I don't have it completely memorized yet.

      I've heard both sides to the story. My uncle really likes it, but some of my friends really don't. Plus, mom and dad haven't seen it yet.

      Glad you like it!

      I currently have several posts written, I just have to wait for my mom to give my the go-ahead (she has to read everything before I post it).

    I'm glad I found your blog. It looks like we have a fair amount in common. :)
    I too can definitely listen to one song for days (maybe weeks?). ;)
    I love LOTR, National Treasure, Mom's Night Out, and Pirates of the Caribbean (I've actually only ever seen the first and most of what I love about it is the music!).

      I'm glad you like it. :)

      Wow, sounds like we do have a lot in common!

      Yes, the music is some of the best I've heard! (I can't say the music for the fourth one is my favorite, but it's still pretty good.)

    Mae Govannen!

    It's always great to read a fellow LOTR blogger! Have you ever read/considered reading The Silmarillion? I'm rereading it for the fourth time, hehe. I love the Sound of Music, too! You are so lucky to get to horseback ride. If I had a horse I would name it Shadowfax, just saying... :D. I look forward to reading your posts! Galu!

      A pleasure for me as well! Yes, I have! Earlier this year I found it at the library. I'm hoping to read it more though. Oh, wow, that's a lot!

      I know! I'm so glad to have my neighbor! :)

      YES! Love that name! If I ever get any pets for my own, I will be naming them after LOTR/TH characters, or Elvish names for that matter. :D

      Hi!
      Yeah, I saw that you had been tagged by some one else I follow, so I decided to take a look (that's pretty much how I've found most of the blogs I follow already). I have yet to read a post, but I'll be going back to the beginning and starting there. :)

      Haha, thanks! :D

      Yeah, it really stinks that elvish doesn't count as a foreign language class for school. :/

      It is fun, there should be more big families. I giggle inside whenever people look surprised at how many siblings there are in my family.

      Thanks! (Oh, and sorry to get back to you so late!)

    It's always slightly frightening and at the same time wonderful to find other humans in existence with whom you have much in common. Of the things we have in common: most relatable: Love of Tolkien Second most relatable (unfortunately): too sarcastic.

      Agreed! It's like "oh my goodness, I can relate to this person so much!" And then it's like "oh my goodness, this person is practically the same as me, and quite frankly, that's almost disturbing."

      Sarcasm. The best way to have fun but still keep a straight face. :)

      Yas! I like the 2010 live version, and the original broadway recording. The movie is ok, but definitely not my most favorite.

      2010 Live is amazing. John-Owen Jones for the win. Have you heard the Complete Symphonic Recording?

    3. Chloe LinnMarch 24, 2017 at 10:01 PM

      I've heard a few of the songs from the complete symphonic, but not all the way through I don't think.

    Alright! Another homeschooler! Also, a horsey homeschooler! Surprisingly, I find so few of those beyond my personal circles.

    You have a great taste in fandoms. ;) So nice to meet you!

    Yay, another Christian homeschooler! :D I am also a shy introvert, but, like you, I've come a very long way. I'm more willing and comfortable stepping out of my comfort zone than I used to be. Yes, someone else who is very sarcastic! ;) I loove animals. Horses are actually my favorite animal. <3

    It's so nice to meet you, and I look forward to getting to know you! :)

Bang goes that theory. -_- Night before last, the heater ran all night, and I had the brilliant idea to accidentally sleep a large portion of the night with my mouth open. Fast-forward to 7:30 yesterday morning. I woke up with a sore throat. Determined to not let it get me down, I continued to function like normal, despite the fact that all I really wanted to do was ignore my alarm clock and pull the blankets back over my head. I marched downstairs and promptly brewed myself a mug-full of tea. Most the the day, I was able to act like nothing was out of the ordinary- I was even able to finish my science for the rest of the year! (*throws confetti*) After dinner though, I started getting really really tired. When Mom read us a story in the living room, I almost fell asleep. After she finished, I went back up to my room. If it hadn't been only 8ish I would have gone to sleep immediately, but it was, so instead, I crawled into bed with a book. I little while later, little si...

Being with my family, also spending some quality alone time with a go...

Warning: this is going to be an incredibly long post, so you may want to come back to it later. *cracks knuckles* Alright, let's do this! Tags: On January 21st,  Mary  tagged me for the Blogging About Blogs tag. The Rules: 1. Thank the person who tagged you. (thanks dearie!) 2. Answer the questions. 3. Tag some blogging friends. The Questions: 1) Blog that makes me laugh: Cait  at  Paper Fury  has a hilarious blog. I almost always end up making rather unladylike snorts whilst trying to keep the giggles at bay.  Also,  Treskie  at  Occasional Randomness ,   Jack  at  However improbable , and  Writefury  always manage to brighten my day when I'm feeling down. 2) Blog that makes me think: Just one? Are you kidding me? No way, I'm so bending this rule (I'll probably end up bending all of them) Kara  at  Coffee With Kara ,  Amanda  at  Scattered Journal Pages ,  Christin...
