Okay...I think I've got this.  :)


#1.  Do you like county fairs?

Hmmm...I'm not sure really.  I've never been to a county fair.  We have a yearly fair nearby to where we live, but technically it would be  a town fair rather than a county fair.   (Is it County Fairs that have Ferris wheels?  Because I've always thought a fair should have a Ferris wheel, and ours doesn't.)  I guess you could say that I like the idea of fairs--a fun community event with lots of friends gathered together; good food; lots of animals--but in reality...well.  I can only look at so many animals before I get bored, and I never spend money for food when I go to the fair so that's no fun, and I'm not a huge fan of big crowds, so, yeah.  I guess you could say fairs aren't my first choice of activity.  But on the other hand, if I went with the right people and was in the right mood, I'm sure I could enjoy them just fine!  (I'm a very decisive person.  Have you noticed?)


#2.  Were you ever in some sort of club as a kid?

Oh yes!  Dozens!  Nothing official, just little clubs created by me and my siblings.  We never did anything in them, but just knowing we had a club was enough for us!  Clubs were the thing.


#3.  What's one of the first movies you remember seeing?

Oh my!  I don't know! Disney's animated Robin Hood goes back a long way in my memory.  So far back that I can't remember the first time I watched it. 

Also Winnie the Pooh.  I have a vague recollection of dancing around the living room in excited anticipation for watching that movie, back when I was under the age of six.  So,  yeah, those two would have to have been among my earliest movie watching experiences.

Speaking of Pooh, I could really use his "thotful spot" right now.   I'm having a horrible time remembering things.  "Think, think. Think, think."

#4.  Which would you rather do: hop in your pickup truck and go for an unexpected adventure, or sit on the back porch with a good novel on a warm summer evening?

I haven't got a pickup truck... But if I did I think I would still chose to sit out on the back porch (I do have one of those) with a  good book.  Sounds more relaxing, and like a nice cozy way to spend a summer evening!  :)

#5. Do you enjoy live concerts?

I've hardly ever been to one, so I can't really say.  I guess it would depend a lot on who I went with and what kind of music was being played. 

#6. Which do you read more of: historical fiction or contemporary fiction?

Historical.

#7. Do you like country music?

Oh, dear.  I don't know.  I'm sure I've listened to country music before, but I really can't remember any specific songs at the moment. 

"Think, think.  Think, think."  Nope.  I'm drawing a blank.  Next question...  

#8. If you could play any role in a musical who would you chose?

First of all, I'd never be on the stage long enough to play anyone. Stage fright would overcome me before the curtain was ever lifted.  But if, by some miracle, I did manage to pull myself together and act...I would choose Mary Poppins. 

I can relate to her no-nonsense personality because I'm a little bit like that myself.  If I were an actor it would probably be a very natural role for me to play (notice I said "if I were an actor.  That's a big "if.")  As to the singing parts--I love to sing, and Mary Poppins has a host of lovely songs.  (It's just hitting those high notes that's the problem.  Ugh.  How does she do that?)

#9.  Do you ever put your feet up on the dashboard while riding in a car?

No, but I wanted to most dreadfully on the way home from work the other night.  I didn't do it because "sink me, I'm far too embarrassed."  (That's a quote from The Scarlet Pimpernel, by the way.  It just came to me, begging to be included, so I included it.  And there it is.)

 #10. Can you tell us a funny story of something that happened to you in the last week/month/ever?

Hmmm...let's see.  I'm afraid any funny story I'd come up with would only be funny to those who had experienced it, but anyway...here goes.  There was this one time, a good many years ago, when my siblings and I were making a movie out in our back yard.  It was a Scottish movie so we were all dressed up in plaid kilts (i.e. pieces of plaid fabric tied around our waists with a belt).  I was one of the bad guys along with two of my brothers and we were disguising ourselves in order to trick the good guys (three of my other brothers).  Our disguises consisted of moustaches  made out of white cotton balls.  We looked very distinguished, in a ridiculous sort of way.  Well, in the middle of our film shoot we suddenly realized that a young boy was mowing the grass in the opposite yard.  Oh no!  Panic ensued. He mustn't see us!  He mustn't!  Not in this getup!  We dashed about, trying to hide from him; ducking behind the trees, climbing up in the trees...but unfortunately it was all too clear that he'd spotted us.  He mowed the same spot of grass a couple times over, peering at us all the while.  It was very embarrassing, though highly entertaining afterward.  I have no idea what he thought of us, but in this case it's probably better to be ignorant.  (Oh, and I did remove my facial hair immediately, so I'm pretty sure he didn't catch me with that on.  Thankfully.)  :)
