1) What's your favorite song?
How much time do you have? *grin* I like lots of different music. Hmm. I'll name a few, but I'm gonna show my age...
Call It Love by Poco
Sad Eyes by Robert John
Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler
I Go Crazy by Paul Davis (Cool Night is good, too)
Still The One by Orleans -- the song I have set as the ringtone for my hubby of 17 years ;) -- Dance With Me is also a fav.
The Circle Game by Joni Mitchell
How Deep Is Your Love by the Bee Gees
Still by the Commodores.
And for those of you who know what this is:
Here's S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y Night by the Bay City Rollers. :D
2) What's your favorite dessert?
Anything sweet and soft and gooey (day-old ginger bread, vanilla ice cream with hot fudge sauce, etc...). Good fruit is a close second (cold watermelon, cantaloupe...).
3) What do you do when you're upset?
I'm gonna piggyback off Elise's answer...
Depends on what kind of upset. Angry upset, I either get quiet or speak my mind depending on the situation and how angry I am. Sad upset, and I usually go spend time by myself...maybe escape into a book.
4) Which is your favorite pet?
Dogs. I like cats, but not their effect on my furniture or their litter boxes.
5) Which do you prefer? Black or White
Black. It's slimming. :)

(Although white is good for Houston summers.)

It's a tie between losing everything and becoming homeless and losing a child.

Generally happy, but moody.

10 random factoids:
1) I know how to sew.
2) I own a sewing machine that is older than I am, and it still sews.
3) I've crossbred a real, live orchid. (All it takes is a keen eye and a toothpick - ha!)
4) I helped my dad build greenhouses in the back yard when I was a kid (He was the one growing the orchids. He also had a hydroponic garden for a while.)
5) Statistically speaking, I shouldn't be here. I was born with major heart defects and had surgery twice before I was two to correct them. (Thanks Dr. Cooley.)
6) I play piano, although I'm rusty.
7) I used to collect 4-leaf clovers. They didn't bring me any luck, though. :P
8) I still own a working turntable and vinyl records.

10) Science is my favorite subject.

Congratulations! You totally deserve this award! I am so jealous of your turntable. I have a vinyl record from a band I love, but no way to play it. It came as a free gift for ordering the digital version. I'm busy looking for a record player and so far have had no luck! Hold onto that thing and never let it go!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for nominating me! :-) I'll work on my post to accept it.
Great to learn more about you, Melissa. :) Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Did I totally bore you with my oldies??? LOL
DeleteSo fun to learn more about you. And thanks for the award. Better get started on my next post. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Melissa!
ReplyDeleteI can sew too, but I use my mom's sewing machine which was my grandma's, so it's probably close to my age :) And most my wardrobe is black, I have a hard time going a day without wearing it, hmmm... maybe it's time to go shopping!
I was just going over my first 500 words of my WiP this morning thought of you :) Thanks again for your AMAZING critique!
Ha! My mom bought this one when she was just out of college, I think. She said it was the first thing she bought 'on time,' and she sweated the $5 payments. hahaha
DeleteYou're welcome! - for the award and the crit. I'm so glad you found it helpful. I'll be in the market for crit partners and beta readers soon. Maybe you and I can do a test crit and see if we're compatible. :)
Hi Melissa! CB Wentworth nominated me for the Kreativ Blogger award so I followed her link back to you. How great to find a fellow writer. I am now a follower!
ReplyDeleteToo cool! Glad to meet you! :)
