Ok, I’ve been tagged once again; this time for the Eleven
Questions game. This should be fun. Thanks go out to Lynette Burrows: http://lynettemburrows.com/lynettesblog/ for the invitation to play. First the
rules:
The rules for 11 Questions:
1. You must post the rules.
2. Answer the questions on your blog. Create eleven new
questions to ask the people you’ve tagged.
3. Tag eleven people and link to them.
4. Let them know you’ve tagged them.
All right, here we go.
1.What book or series
can you read over and over again without getting bored?
LOTR
2. What TV show
character do you hate and why?
I almost never watch TV so that’s a toughie. I guess it
would be Mary Tyler Moore. She’s just too much, you know? Just once I’d have
liked to see her show up in stilettos, fishnets, and leather then whip the boys
into shape.
3. If you were a super
hero, what is your super hero name and your special power?
I am Prudence MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod. I was born in the
village of Glenn Finnan, on the shores of Loch Sheil, in the year of our lord
twelve hundred and sixty-two. I am immortal.
4. What is your
favorite ear worm (song that gets stuck in your head)?
You Raise Me Up by Josh Groban.
5. If you could be any
character of the opposite sex in any story, who would you be and why?
James Bond, because he gets all the great girls.
6. What was the worst
job you’ve ever had and why?
I once worked in a foundry for several weeks. It was hot,
dirty, and vile. At the end of every shift it took hours to clear all the coal
dust from my lungs. Oh yes, the foreman was a pig.
7. What was your
favorite TV show when you were growing up?
They didn’t invent TV until centuries after I was grown.
8. What mode of
transportation (horse, automobile, bus, train, boat, airplane, space plane,
etc.) would you never want to use and why?
Long haul bus because I’ve been there too many times.
9. What job/occupation
would you never want to try?
Oh, now let’s see; I have tried quite a few, but I have
avoided politics. I just don’t think I have a thick enough skin.
10. If you could tweet
a warning or encouragement to one person in history, what would you tweet to
whom and why?
Leonardo da Vinci. “A flying machine Leo? Seriously?”
Why? He was always going off on some wild scheme or other.
11. Tell us about one
thing on your bucket list.
I still want to write and publish a small collection of
erotic short stories. I actually have a few in rough draft.
Ok, that’s it for me; to tag a few unsuspecting folks.
Ok folks, you’ve
been tagged. Remember, only play if it is something you want to do. Now, here are
your questions.
1.
What is the greatest thing you’ve found under
your sofa cushions?
2.
Who is your greatest hero?
3.
If you went to dinner with your favorite
celebrity, what would you order and why?
4.
What inspired the idea for your current WIP?
5.
Right handed or left?
6.
Laptop or desktop?
7.
You wake up in a strange room with a stranger in
bed beside you, what’s the first thing you say?
8.
You suddenly discover you have the power of
telekinesis, what’s the first thing you do?
9.
Who most inspired you to write?
10. You
get one big do-over in life, what do you change?
11. Ballet
or pro wrestling?
Well, that’s
about it for me. This is all just for fun, folks, so only play if you wish and
feel free to avoid any questions you would rather not answer. (We’ll talk later
in private. Wink wink.)
I am with you on the politics!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tag Prudence. I played last week on my blog, but I have to say your questions are great. Ballet or pro wrestling? Probably neither, but I wouldn't mind watching some pro wrestlers in tutus attempting to perform swan lake!
Now that I'd pay to see. :)
DeleteI love the questions you posed to your receivers! And some of your responses made me laugh out loud. No television growing up? I don't believe that.
ReplyDeleteFun stuff!

Believe it Patricia, I was fourteen before the family bought a TV. It got one station and that badly. I'm a child of the radio.
DeleteWell, you have a very youthful look about you! I remember my mom telling me about how their family used to gather around the radio to listen to certain programs. It actually sounds kind of fun!
DeleteMy first television experience was black and white. We didn't have a color t.v., or a remote control, until I was a teen-ager, but that's because my parents were cheap!
Patricia
Great answers, Prudence! Oh, I do agree about politics being the very last thing I'd ever want to do. And Coleen - pro wrestlers in tutus?! Girl! LOL!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lynnette, and thanks for the tag. It was fun.
DeleteGood grief, you're fast woman! No wonder you've written a gazillion novels :-) Love the Leonardo comment. *bows* There can be only one.
ReplyDeleteGreat job!
Hi Shannon. I wondered if anyone would recognize the Highlander. Good call.
DeleteOh what fun! You crack me up. Your answer about TV...and I loved #5! I think I'd be Bond too but because he gets such great toys! I like new electronic stuff.
ReplyDeleteHi April, glad you enjoyed the post. Thanks for stopping by.
