I was just futzing about on the internet like a bad writer when I should really be editing this novel… and noticed I got tagged for a question meme. Now, I’m not one to look a procrastination horse in the gift mouth, so onward to the questions!
If they were making a movie about your life, who would you choose to play you?
Benedict Cumberbatch
If you could be given another talent or ability, what would you want it to be? Have you ever – really – tried to perfect this ability in yourself?
I wish I could pick up languages in a snap. I have studied both German and Spanish but have poor retention.
If you could take one trip back in time, when and where would you go?
Hmm, well if I undo any of my life’s mistakes I wouldn’t be who I am now and I might cause a time paradox, so that’s a bad idea. I am probably the worst person to send back in time ever. I have a hard enough time dealing with not mucking up my dealings with the present.
Do you have a favorite movie that you can watch over and over?
Dune, Blade Runner, Master and Commander
If you could choose to stay a certain age forever, what age would it be?
I would never choose this. Lack of change always causes problems.
What is one of your favorite quotes?
“We should be taught not to wait for inspiration to start a thing. Action always generates inspiration. Inspiration seldom generates action.” –Frank Tibolt
If you could be any fictional character, who would you be?
I am not entirely certain I am not a fictional character.
What sound do you love?
Rain.
What superpower would you like to have?
Ability to split my consciousness and bilocate.
Do you have a favorite artist? Who?
I do not have a favorite, I have too many favorites to name.
Have you ever wanted to invent something to make your life easier? What?
Boozffins: Muffin Booze delivery mechanisms aka carb-loading and drinking at the same time.
Excellent movie choices.
You know, if you ever started a new career, I bet a food cart in Portland selling Boozffins would be a huge hit 😉 That is assuming the mayor allows the food carts to sell booze. I’ll be your first customer!
I have seen ways to do booze-flavored, and booze-laced frosting versions… but not quite what I want.
I think they’d need a full liquor license so probably not a food-cart thing.
I wish I could learn languages easily! I have two language savants in my immediate family, plus a whole branch of bilingual family, and yet after 7 years of French classes I couldn’t put a sentence together. It’s pathetic.
Boozffins could totally take off. Every hard drinker knows that sometimes the only cure for a hangover is more booze, and what could be more appetizing than a muffin?
BTW, I’m just stalking everyone D. D. Syrdal tagged 🙂
