I volunteered to be asked five questions by Krista, who is about the only one who could get me to answer five more! She had some damn good questions, y’all!

1. Out of all the make believe places in your favorite movies, which one would you choose to live in and why. The Shire, it’s so peaceful and green and people (ok, well, hobbits) just have fun there!
2. Vampire, Pirate, Sorcerer. Which one is the hottest and why. Well, let’s just remove Pirate from that list, cause as Elizabeth Swann said: “…Except for a sense of honor and decency and a moral center. And personal hygiene.” It’s not the lack of a sense of honor and decency and a moral center that bothers me, of course, it would be the personal hygiene bit ;-0 And let’s remove the Sorcerer, because…well…when I think of a sorcerer, I think of Saruman, and he wasn’t hot in the least. So…that leaves Vampire…which OMG I think are SO damn hot!!!
3. If you could bring one mythical creature to life, what would it be. I think a phoenix…they’re so beautiful, but my inner 10 year old says a unicorn
4. What is your favorite thing to cook? That’s a tough one…I love to cook just about anything! There’s something satisfying about using the dutch oven when I cook, though, so I’ll say … a nice coq au vin.
5. If you could produce and direct your own movie, what would is be about? It would be about the story of my life…which wasn’t always quite so…”tame” as it is now LOL!

Thanks, Krista, that was fun!

Thanks for the great questions, Heather!

Amy tagged me, and I’m not one to back down from a tag

Each player starts with 7 random facts/habits about themselves. People who are tagged need to blog about their seven things and post the rules as well. At the end of your post, choose 7 people to tag and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them that they have been tagged and to read your blog! OK, here goes…

1) I love a peanut butter sandwich for breakfast with a cup of coffee! The peanut butter must be spread on half of the slice of bread, then the slice is folded over. Sometimes I’ll spread some butter on first. Yum!
2) I have to be in the mood to clean. I’m not often in the mood. When I AM in the mood, no one can be home. Consequently, the house doesn’t get cleaned very often
3) Sandwiches: Mayo on roast beef, mustard on ham. Always!
4) Lately, I’ve been having a very hard time getting out of bed. Someone told me yesterday that I didn’t look happy. I feel … ok? But I thought about it last night, and I don’t think I’ve been happy for awhile. Hmmm…
5) A&W rootbeer, diet, with LOTS of ice is my favorite soda!
6) When I’m sitting at a table or bar with place settings, I’ll mess around with them until they’re straight and in the right place. I don’t HAVE to…it’s just something to do with my hands, like doodling or something LOL!
7) I’m reading a book called Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers, by Mary Roach. It’s DAMN good!

I was driving home from Whole Foods tonight, listening to the ElfPod (that’s what I named my iPod mini, shut up!). I am an inveterate scanner of radio stations, and funnily enough…I also do this to my iPod. It got me thinking…what are the five songs you’d NEVER skip on your iPod? This is a bit different from “what 5 songs would you stop scanning your radio for” because … well, on the iPod if you skip past a song, you can go back at any time. You know…it’s ON your iPod, it’s not going anywhere but on the radio, once the song is over, it’s over.

So…these are the five songs I’d never skip on my iPod:

- Werewolves of London, by Warren Zevon: I don’t know why I love this song, but I do. With all my heart.
- The Cowboy Song, by Thin Lizzy: Man, I loved Thin Lizzy back in the day…this song just reminds me of the beach, warm weather, good times, boys
- Santa Monica, by Everclear: I was deep in my R&B and rap phase when I heard this for the first time and immediately fell in LOVE with it…lyrics AND music. I FELT it.
- One Week, by Barenaked Ladies: It’s bouncy, cute, upbeat and makes me smile
- Suffragette City, by David Bowie: Wham, bam, thank you ma’am. Quintessential Bowie, awesome song.

and … my one guilty pleasure: Method of Modern Love by Hall & Oates. I love Daryl Hall’s voice, it’s so beautiful!

What are your five songs and your one guilty pleasure? If you don’t have an iPod or similar device, feel free to use the songs you’d not pass over when you hear them on the radio
