I was tagged by mild-mannered Lenore Diane — sweet, thoughtful Lenore. What does getting tagged mean? I’m not entirely sure, I’m new to this kind of thing. But from what I can gather, when a person gets tagged, they have to answer the eleven questions posed by the tagger. Then make up eleven new questions and tag eleven new people. In other words, an online chain letter.
I’m not much for rules, so I’ve decided to tag everyone who stumbles into this post unaware. You’re all it!
Ready? Here are my answers to Lenore Diane’s questions:
1. What is your favorite color, and what do you think it would taste like?
That would be Pantone Orange 021 and it would taste like Froot Loops.
2. Do you sleep on your left side, right side, back or stomach?
All of the above, thank you. I’m a very active and indiscriminate sleeper.
3. Do you floss your teeth?
I do, with kite string. Sometimes fishing line.
4. Do you close the lid before flushing the toilet?
Wait, there’s a lid?
5. How many times a day do you brush your teeth?
Nine, ten if a dessert is served.
6. How many times have you brushed your hair today? If you are follicle-challenged, how many times have you rubbed your bald head?
Let’s see, this is Wednesday, so once.
7. Do your feet smell? (Go ahead and check, we’ll wait.)
How dare you!
8. Do you have any Ben & Jerry’s ice cream in your freezer? May I have it?
I do not. This is February,
9. If you notice food stuck between someone’s teeth – do you make an effort to tell him/her? If not, why are you so cruel?
I don’t bother with telling them, no, I just go in after it.
10. What feature do you most like about me?
Hmm, that’s a toss-up between your sparkling wit and your dimples.
11. Don’t you think I should be discovered, while I sit doing nothing, and become famous for my writing?
I do and I bet you’d be discovered faster if you sat doing nothing in a bikini on the porch.
——————————————————————————————————————-
And here are my eleven questions for all of you:
1. What’s the last thing you do before going to bed?
2. When, in your life, were you the happiest?
3. What was your college major?
4. What person, living or dead, do you think had the biggest impact on the world?
5. Have you ever said no to a marriage proposal?
6. What brand of shoes are you wearing right now?
7. Where in the world would you like to work? (Personally I’d like to work at the Louvre in Paris or at Pixar Studios)
8. Do you have a favorite time of day?
9. If you could give yourself a nickname, what would it be?
10. Who is your favorite author?
11. Which one of the Seven Dwarfs is your favorite?
Good luck, everyone.

Great post………. (thank you WordPress for recommending me Humor when I clicked on Art and Design)…
1. What is your favorite color, and what do you think it would taste like?
Blue. Tastes like… the enigmatic Slush Puppie Blue flavor…
2. Do you sleep on your left side, right side, back or stomach?
My wife and I draw straws. Sometimes, I sleep on my stomach, on the right side, on top of her.
3. Do you floss your teeth?
Only when I want bleeding gums.
4. Do you close the lid before flushing the toilet?
Just like Pavlov’s dogs…
5. How many times a day do you brush your teeth?
One. Always appropriately timed in front of my kids to show them daddy does too.
6. What’s the last thing you do before going to bed?
Fall asleep on the couch.
7. Do your feet smell? (Go ahead and check, we’ll wait.)
Only the nose knows.
8. Do you have any Ben & Jerry’s ice cream in your freezer? May I have it?
I do. But it’s rebranded Haagen-Dazs Cookie Dough Dynamo, à la Lizzy Grant/Lana Del Rey.
9. Do you have a favorite time of day?
No. I don’t have a favorite color either and I do like to contradict myself.
10. Do you like rearranging these questions?
Yes, I’m compelled to choose questions that will make me look best.
11. Are you out of ideas?
Indubiously.

Markus Zusak? Really? Is it The Book Thief, by any chance? I love that book, absolutely love it. That’s the only one of his I’ve read, I don’t know why. I almost bought The Messenger a couple of years ago, but decided on another book, instead. And I like Ian McEwan, as well. Particularly Atonement. Have you ever read any of Jo Nesbo’s mysteries?
Sorry, I’ll stop now. Great answers, suzymarie. Markus Zusak blew my little mind, in case you couldn’t tell. So did Emeryville, California a little, it’s so specific. You’re an interesting girl, thanks for taking the time to play.

Yes really! And it is The Book Thief, what a beautiful book! I’m so glad you agree :) Apparently The Messenger is absolutely fantastic, so I must buy it once my book challenge is finished. Atonement is my favourite Ian McEwan, although I need to read it again as I was a little young when I read it first time I think. No Jo Nesbo’s in my life, are they good? I enjoy mysteries! Have you got a good one to suggest?
Haha Emeryville is the place where Pixar is based. My boyfriend would love to work there and his second name is similar to Emeryville haha so would be quite idyllic! I’m glad you enjoyed my answers, I particularly like your answer to Question 2 on your set of questions, it made me laugh :)
