I have to go back to work tomorrow and I'm not really looking forward to it. I don't feel like I've been "off" for awhile, which is really terrible of me. I mean, I had a LOOOOONG time off in April-May. I'm just a vacation person. Work doesn't suit me. Hahahahahahahaa!
Anyway, this is my super short blog post that I felt I simply HAD to do, since it's been something like 1-1/2 months since I last blogged.
These are the rules. Since I am a rebel, I will do everything except nominate eleven other bloggers, 'cause all the eleven I'd nominate probably already received this anyway.
Rule the First: Share eleven facts about yourself.
Rule the Second: Answer the questions set by your nomination blogger.
Rule the Fourth: Set questions for the nominated bloggers.
SOOOOOO.... First off, here are Eleven Facts About Me.
1.) With my medical transcription training, I tend to double-space between periods now, in everything except novels I'm writing, 'cause for the most part Editors/Agents/Publishers don't like double-spacing.
5.) I get depressed with popular young adult fiction and go back to my staple diet of Diana Wynne Jones, Patricia McKillip, and Tolkien's Farmer Giles of Ham and Smith of Wootton Major.
6.) I have taken to saying "Jeepers" a lot. Not sure where that came from.
7.) I don't even know how many books I own. I think there were a hundred on one bookshelf in my bedroom, and there's got to be five? six? maybe even ten times that amount in the closet... and on other bookshelves... and under the bed... and in other sisters' rooms.
9.) I was tempted to skip number 9 and see how many of you were devoted enough to read through all these "facts" in order to catch the missing number. I resisted. Aren't you proud?
10.) Right now, one of my most favourite songs to listen to is POMPEII by BASTILLE.
11.) I want Josh Groban to do another Kid Snippets video NOW!
1.) What's your favorite type of dog? I freakin' LOVE German Shepherds! But, if we're talking smaller dogs, I'm into Border Collie/Cocker Spaniel mixes, and Shiba Inus.
6.) If you could choose a superhero name, what would you call yourself?
Hmmm.... I'd probably end up sticking with Cat. Ooh, I know. Panther. Cat Panther. That's my superhero name.
7.) You can travel back in your timeline, and only your timeline. What would you re-visit?
March 27th, 2007, August 24, 2011, and October 6, 2013... because those were the times we saw Josh Groban in CONCERT. And end of April to beginning of May 2013, 'cause that's when we went to Scotland. And every single Christmas Eve and Christmas in the history of my life.
2) What is one really good series which you have just discovered? Book series? Um, how recently? I'd say The 100 Cupboards was good, though technically that's a trilogy and not really a series.
3) Are you a subtle fan-girl or more of a loud excited fangirl like me? I believe I am subtle.
5) Do you like wearing sweaters or do you prefer hoodies? I'm more of a sweater person. I'm not crazy about hoodies on myself, because I feel totally gangsta in them. However, I like hoodies on other people.
My questions for youse all: 1.) Do you prefer Arabic or Roman numerals? 2.) Do you watch My Little Ponies? 3.) What's the absolute stupidest thing you've ever done? 4.) What's your idea of the best car? 5.) What's the worst thing you can imagine? 6.) Do you know what gif stands for? 7.) Be honest... did you have to Google "gif" in order to answer question 6 intelligently?
1.) An anonymous someone drops a note on your front porch saying that they will fund a trip to either England, an African Safari, Prince Edward Island, or Italy. Which do you choose? Why?
3.) Do you have a particular song that you listen to often, but it never seems to get old? If so, what is it?
Yes. Yes I do.
4.) Would you rather be lounging in the sun on the beach reading a good book or adventuring in the waves?
Ooh, choices, choices... I'd do both. Read a little in the sun, and go for a swim, and read a little in the sun, and go for a swim, and read a little in the sun, and... you get the picture, right?
5.) You suddenly end up with two twin kittens. One is a girl; one is a boy. What do you name them?
Sam and Jess.
6.) You're organizing a get together with friends. Would you choose a picnic or a movie night?
