First, I must name who named me: Katherine Amabel of Beyond the Hourglass. Thank you for nominating me.
Second, I must answer the eleven questions she posted on her
blog.
1. Can you tongue roll, cross eye, ear wiggle or perform any
other feats of physics? (And you can’t say getting motion sick at the
slightest provocation, because I call dibs on that).
I do a really prime Spock-like raised left eyebrow.
2. Would you rather watch that video from The Ring, or start
up a nice, family-friendly game of Jumanji?
Jumanji, however that would require I purchase the game, and
the choice shows just how much I don’t like scary movies because I don’t much
like games either.
3. If you could be any book character, who would you be and
why?
Most any dragon rider in Anne McCaffery’s Dragonriders of
Pern series. So I could ride a dragon,
of course.
4. What fantasy invention do you most wish was real?
e.g. Light sabres… invisibility cloaks… or those completely innocent and in no
way drug riddled potions from Alice In Wonderland…
Friendly dragons that can go between and time it. If I can't have that, then I want a flying car that takes verbal instructions.
5. Name one habit you’re trying to break.
Asking my daughter if she has done her homework. I don’t ever remember my parents asking me. It was my responsibility. It should be hers.
6. What’s the scariest book you’ve ever read? (Because I
feel like sleeping with the light on for a month).
But I don’t read scary books.
7. What was the first job you ever wanted?
Being the tour guide on a bus that traveled though downtown San Diego and telling
interesting stories about the sights. I
drove the wrong way on a one-way street, got lost on the way to the interview,
arrived late and was utterly unimpressive.
Did not get the job.
8. What was the first job you ever had? (Sorry!)
Summer job as an inventory clerk at an engineering
company. I literally counted widgets,
and circuits, nuts and screws.
9. If you had to live in any time period, past or present,
other than now, what would you choose?
The future is a little too unknown for me (Ha, I’m a science
fiction writer), so if I can go back in time and still have the knowledge I
have now, I’ll take the 1950s.
10. What’s the most exotic place you’ve ever been?
Tijuana, Mexico, or Victoria,
Canada. I got to get out more.
11. Finally, if you could apparate, where in the world would
be your favourite spot to take your lunch breaks?
The Lifeline Café in La Grande, Oregon. Razzle Dazzle, I hear you calling for
me. And the wraps, scrumpscious.
I am also required to name 11 other bloggers with less than 200 followers. I am still working on this. So here are the first three that came to mind.
Here goes:
