- What’s the most played song on your iPod? (or CD collection if you’re old school) :: Okay, this is a bit embarrassing, but the most played song on my iPod currently is Enrique Iglesias's "I Like It". Yeah, I get crunk up in the club.
- What do you miss most about your childhood? :: The lack of responsibility. Absolutely.
- What is your favorite poem? Can I say The Odyssey? Does that count? :)
- Without thinking too much, what are 5 of your favorite books of all time? (Just list them as they come to you … don’t think!!!!!) :: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Good Omens, Rebecca, The Monk, Inferno,
- What was the last book you read? Tell me about it in 5 words or less. Room and Boredom. Dark, mystery, blood, bar, dreaming,
- Can you define irony and give an example? (This is self-serving as I’m struggling to do this with my son. I will so steal your answers if appropriate.) :: Instead of giving my own, I thought I would provide a link: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/irony
- If you were forced to change your name, what would you change it to? :: My Lady High Mistress
- What author/TV show/movie/book/celebrity, do you have absolutely despise and avoid at all costs? Jersey Shore and anything like it. Sweet god that's just devastating.
- What movie was actually better than the book is was based on? :: I know they exist, and I know I've read/seen some, but damn they're eluding me right now. I bet The Notebook was though. I mean watching two hours had to be better than reading it. Right? And True Blood may be better than the Sookie books...Eric, oh my Eric.
- Beatles or the Stones? :: Beatles
- What is your favorite quote? Ralph Waldo Emerson's "The invariable mark of wisdom is to see the miraculous in the common".

- Does an author's personality have any affect on whether or not you read his/her book?
- Eric, Lestat, Edward, or Count Dracula?
- Would you rather have a mansion or a private jet?

And I know you tagged me, and so did Jenners, and I am a lazy toad. I am so very sorry. Someday I will get to it, when I have an hour of free time. (I know, you have an infant and you've done it twice so i really have no excuse!). Anyway, I'm right there with you on Jersey Shore, or let's say Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Definitely the thing I miss most about my childhood is my grandparents.
ReplyDeleteSlacker! :) Don't feel like you have to do it. I know some people really hate these things.
DeleteOkay. Your five favorite books? Four of them are ones I absolutely adore, and the only one I don't is one I haven't read (Hitchhikers - and I can't read it, long story, but it was ruined for me by a fellow writer). I think that's awesome. And personally, I like The Inferno as a poem better than The odyssey. :D
ReplyDeleteYes, The Notebook movie was better than the book. It was kind of sweet. The book was so trashy!
Great readers think alike. :) That sucks that HHG was ruined for you. And you are right; Inferno is better. I think I like it so much I actually forget that it's a poem.
DeleteOh, I so need to read The Monk. I was thinking about it the other day, and for some reason, I passed it by. I loved your answers, by the way. I am going to have to come up with my post soon!
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely read The Monk!!!
DeleteWell, you know I'm just going to have to take you up on this and TAG YOU AGAIIN. We're now in a game of chicken, My Lady High Mistress. Who will quit first????
ReplyDeleteThat link to the irony was AWESOME. Love it!
Thanks for giving me my next post.
GAH!!! Great questions! I hope they all answer them because I want to know :)
ReplyDeleteYou and Jenners are hilarious...how long can you two keep this up?
ReplyDeleteAnd my vote for better movie than book goes to Cold Mountain, because holy crap, did I ever hate that book.
Good Omens, excellent choice. I'm loving your questions, too. Here's hoping you don't get stuck in an infinite tagging loop!
ReplyDelete(Btw, my new blog--Bookzilla--is live. You're one of my top commenters, and I didn't want you to miss out on the change-over. www.amypeveto.com)
"My Lady High Mistress" - bwahahahaha!! I once jokingly told my students to call me "Queen Emily" and it totally stuck. They insisted on still calling me "Ms", though, so it turned into "Queen Ms. Emily", which was all kinds of awesome.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, you tagged me. That means... I'll do my best and write a post. OF course, you deserve to be tagged by each and everyone of the people you tagged... :-)
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to let you know that .... YOU'RE IT! (Again!) Mwwwhhahhhaaaa (evil laugh).
