Tagged for 8

Courtesy of Suzanne Conboy-Hill, it’s another round of virtual tag and I’m it. So here are the eight questions and my answers. Game rules say I have to tag five other bloggers. The problem is four of the frequent visitors to this blog are eliminated because Alannah tagged Suzanne who tagged Cathryn and Christi. I don’t think I have five left. Hmmm … let me think while you read my answers.

1. If you could have any superpower, what would you have? Why?

Can I have a dual power? I’d like the ability to teleport—including into the past—and also to be invisible at will. Imagine the possibilities. Not only could I zip to NYC for pizza whenever I had the urge, but I could be a “fly on the wall” anywhere and any time in history.

2. Who is your style icon?

Style? Good grief, I’m supposed to have style?!

3. What is your favorite quote?

Um … well … uh … hmmm …

4. What is the best compliment you’ve ever received?

I think it might be the time my father told me I was without guile like Nathaniel in the Bible. Of course, that’s quite a judgment to live up to—especially as a fiction writer.

5. What playlist/cd is in your CD player/iPod right now?

I’m going to say CD player: Pearl Jam’s Ten and last Pandora station: Melissa Etheridge.

6. Are you a night owl or a morning person?

I almost never see midnight, so I guess that makes me sound like a morning person. However, I hate to be physically active early in the morning. Only my brain wakes up before dawn; it takes my body a few hours to catch up.

7. Do you prefer dogs or cats?

I have only a cat now because my dog died last year. I used to say I was a cat person, but I’m not sure anymore. The cat I have now is a bit demented.

8. What is the meaning behind your blog name
