Good morning! Another meme for you… but first, for all my writing friends out there. Check out today's PaperBackWriter. She has an excellent article on marketing. I'm not there yet (and, as Marianne will tell you, if I don't get something finished … or the ones I HAVE finished, queried, it won't happen. And that goes for the rest of you too. WRITE!), but I plan on remembering her advice. Check it out.
A week or so ago, Jill (CDPJ) tagged me for this very long meme. I'm sorry it took so long, CDPJ, but I'm finally doing it!
1. You can press a button that will make any one person explode. Who would you blow up?
Paris Hilton. She needs to grow up and realize that she has to be responsible for herself and her actions
2. You can flip a switch that will wipe any band or musical artist out of existence. Which one will it be?
I honestly can't think of anyone. Maybe rappers in general ;-)
3. Who would you really just like to punch in the face?
People who cut me off in traffic
4. What is your favorite cheese?
mozzarella
5. You can only have one kind of sandwich. Every sandwich ingredient is at your immediate disposal. What kind will you make?
banana with mayo and peanut butter… and a large glass of cold milk
6. You, Elvis, and Princess Diana are in a dog sled, fleeing across the Siberian wasteland with wolves in hot pursuit. The wolves are catching up fast. Who would you throw out to gain speed and why?
Stealing Jill's answer: "I love Elvis, but I'm going to have to agree with Maria. Big fat Elvis would just slow us down. Plus, I was always kind of obsessed with Diana."
7. You have the opportunity to sleep with the movie celebrity of your choice. We are talking no strings attached sex and it can only happen once. Who is the lucky celebrity?
Sean Connery… but now, not when he was James Bond
8. You have the opportunity to sleep with the music celebrity of your choice. Who do you pick?
Davy Jones, but not as he is now, back when he was in the Monkees
9. Now that you've slept with two different people in a row, you seem to be having an excellent day because you just came across a one hundred dollar bill on the sidewalk. Holy Shit. How are you gonna spend it?
Hit my Amazon Wish List
10. You just got a free plane ticket to anywhere. You have to depart right now. Where are you gonna go?
Ireland. I spent two weeks there a few years ago and I've been homesick for it ever since. I would especially like to stay in Galway
11. Upon arrival to the aforementioned location, you get off the plane and discover another one hundred dollar bill. Now that you are in a new location, what are you gonna do?
go to Kenny's Bookstore in Galway. It is the neatest place. It's huge
12. Your dream date. Who, where, and why?
My hubby, at our place in Florida. And why? Really now… ;-)
13. An angel appears out of heaven and offers you a lifetime supply of the alcoholic beverage of your choice. It is?
Bailey's Irish Cream
14. Okay, girls and gay guys stand over here, guys and lesbians, over there. Girls and gay guys first: You're in bed with Marilyn, Monroe, Doris Day, and Salma Hayek. Who's gonna be the lucky girl? And similarily, guys and lesbians: You're in bed with Cary Grant, Paul Newman, and Johnny Depp. Who's gonna be the lucky guy? Give your reasons.
Marilyn. I think she was gorgeous
15. Rufus appears out of nowhere with a time traveling/phone booth. you can go anytime in the PAST. What time are you traveling to and what are you going to do when you get there?To the 1960s and I'm going to buy up cheap land along Florida's Gulf Coast and put it into a trust for my family that can never be broken
16. You discover a beautiful island upon which you may build your own society. You make the rules. What is the first rule that you put into place?
You have to be nice to each other
17. You have been given the opportunity to create the half hour TV show of your dreams. What is it called and what is its premise?World of Dreams. And it will bring every day people on and try to fulfill their dreams.
18. What is your favorite curse word?
Okay… y'all are going to laugh at me. I know you will, because my husband does. When I get upset I either go with …. Are you ready?.... "bother" or "flidget"
19. You have a choice of two doors. One of which you MUST go through. The first leads to a roomful of spiders, the second to a roomful of clowns. Which is it to be?
either one. Probably clowns… the spiders don't bother me, but I wouldn't want to step on one
20. Your house is on fire. You have just enough time to run in there and grab one inanimate object. So what's the item?
Stealing another answer from Jill: "My computer. Sad but true."
21. One night, you wake up because you heard a noise. You turn on the light to find that you are surrounded by mummies. The mummies aren't really doing anything, they're just standing around your bed. What do you do?
Wonder how I could work it into my latest WIP
22. You have George W.Bush and Osama bin Laden locked in a small room together. It's airtight, so both are gonna suffocate anyway, but what amusing weapon do you give them?
Water guns
23. The angel of death has descended upon you. Fortunately, the angel of death is pretty cool and in a good mood and it offers you a half hour to do whatever you want before you bite it. What are you going to do in that half hour?
Cuddle with my husband and call my children
24. Truthfully, what underwear are you currently wearing?
Truthfully. I'm not long out of bed and I'm not wearing any
25. You accidentally eat some radioactive vegetables. They were good and what's even cooler is that they endow you with the super-power of your choice. What is it going to be?
Another answer from Jill (she's such a smart lady!) "Flying. I hate sitting in traffic, so I would fly everywhere."
26. You can re-live any point of time in your life. The time span can only be a half hour, though. What half hour of your past would you like to experience again?
When I first realized I was in love with Bob.
27. Moses trips on his robe and drops the stone tablets. Commandment 11 is broken off. He leaves it there as his back is killing him. What does it say?
Be kind to each other
28. You can erase any horrible experience of your past. What will it be?I can't think of any horrible experiences. All the experiences I went through have gone towards making me the person I am today and, frankly, none of them were that bad… in retrospect
29. You get kicked out of the country for being a time traveling heathen who sleeps with celebrities and has super powers. But, you can move to anywhere else in the world. What country are you going to live in now?
Ireland. See Question 10
30. What part of your body would you change and why?
My tummy… after three C-sections, it could use some serious help.
31. You have been eternally banned from every single bar in the world except for ONE. Which one is it going to be?
I don't know enough bars to decide… lol
32. What's the last thing you ate?
spaghetti and salad last night for supper. All I've had this morning is coffee
33. Suddenly you have gained the power to float. Who are you going to show this to first?
Bob.
34. The constant absorption of magical moonbeams mixed with the radio-active vegetables you consumed earlier has given you the power to resurrect the dead celebrity of your choice. So which celebrity will you bring back to life?
Marilyn Monroe. Maybe she'll be happier this time
35. The celestial gates of Beyond have opened. Much to your surprise, Death appears. As it turns out, once again, Death is actually a pretty cool entity and happens to be in a fantastic mood. Death offers to return the friend/family member/person of your choice to the living world. Who will you bring back?
A young man in our community just died in a car accident… a week before his first child was to be born.

last week
38. Buffy, Willow, or Xander?
