I've been Tagged. Like a Wild Boar.

The lovely Marsha Sigman (follow her and thank me later) has tagged me. I have to answer a bunch of questions or my blog will blow up or something. I don't know, it seemed very important I respond immediately, so here goes:

Do you think you're hot?


I always check with a digital thermometer but apparently I don't get fevers as often as I imagine I do.

Upload a picture or wallpaper you are using: 



This is a doodle I did in 2008, while on the phone.
Unfortunately, a cup of water had it out for this sketch
and it is now nothing but an ink blot.

When was the last time you ate chicken?

1972. A cold, rainy day somewhere not far from Silver City. There was a man named Ed. I don't remember much else. Next question. 

What were you thinking while doing this? 

I wonder how many Skittles you could eat in a year without changing the pigment of your skin.

How much can a woodchuck chuck? What's chucking, anyway? Is it like chuckling except a shorter version? Like a stunted giggle.


What song(s) have you listened to recently? 

People by AWOLNATION
What the Hell by Avril Lavigne
Walls by Manic Drive
Hey Hey Hey by Michael Franti & Spearhead

Do you have any nicknames? What are they?

I always wanted a nickname, but alas, there were few to be had. I was thinking in the car today of celebrity nicknames a la K-Stew & RPattz. I think they should call Taylor Lautner, T-Laut, and I want to be called E-Dow. (pronounced ee-dough) What do ya think?

Mr. Chris Phillips - He's got a great Music to Make Write To feature, and he's just darn funny. 

My awesomeful crit partner, Steph Loree

Jean Davis. Pink hair. Funny anecdotes. Weasels. 

Em-Musing, who's got a very stream-of-consciousness type blogging style. A poetry all its own. 

Steph Schmidt, who gave me the opportunity to read her current WIP. I was sorry to only get 8 chapters of it! 

And there y'all have it. Have a good weekend!

Next week we've got a special Movie Wednesday featuring Raquel Byrnes and her new novel, Purple Knot!

  2. Is this like freeze tag? Should I remain frozen until I'm un-tagged? How do I respond? WHAT IS HAPPENING?

    I'm PANICKING HERE! Pure, undiluted, panic.

    I'll post my answers soon. :)

  5. I like ee-dow. That type of nickname is all the rage these days.

    This meme is so weird. I got tagged in one that made me tag 8 people!
