I've Been Tagged!
Back to you, Misa!
Misa Ramirez has tagged me. It looked like fun, so here goes:
FOUR MOVIES YOU WOULD WATCH OVER AND OVER
• Gone with the Wind (Just like you, Misa! The characters, the costumes, the scenery, Clark Gable. I love it all!)
• Memento (Because clearly there will be something each and every time I watch it that I missed.)
• Ordinary People. That movie seared my soul. I cried for hours afterwards.
• Airplane. Because I’d need something to make me laugh after watching Ordinary People again!
FOUR PLACES YOU'VE LIVED
• Davis, California
• Scottsdale, Arizona
• Chicago, Illinois
• Madison, Wisconsin
FOUR TV SHOWS YOU LOVE TO WATCH
• Grey’s Anatomy (Excellent characters. Great stories. Smart, smart, smart.)
• Medium (Because I really want to be psychic, too.)
• Gilmore Girls (See Grey’s Anatomy.)
• Lost (See Grey’s Anatomy.)
FOUR PLACES YOU'VE BEEN ON VACATION
• New York City (I just got back. It was fabulous. What an amazing city.)
• The Philippines (The trip of a lifetime. It was amazing.)
• Wisconsin (I know. It doesn’t so exciting next to the Philippines and NYC, but my friends there are so amazing and wonderful that it is the absolute best.)
• The Baja 3 day cruise to Ensenada. (Misa, I did this, too! We went with a huge group of people and it was a blast.)
FOUR WEBSITES YOU VISIT DAILY
• The Literary Chicks
• Pocket Authors
Ummm. Actually that’s it. I don’t check anything else daily.
FOUR OF YOUR FAVORITE FOODS
• Creamy Brie on a piece of crusty bread with a nice Cabernet to wash it down.
• Pizza and beer. I don’t even care what kind of pizza or which brand of beer. If I could eat pizza and drink beer at every meal without having an *ss the size of Wyoming, I would so do it.
• The scallop burrito from Dos Coyotes in Davis. Yum yum yum. And lookie here! I still have more coupons for free burritos. Hmmm. I don’t think I’m cooking tonight.
• My mother’s yellow cake with the chocolate glaze icing.
FOUR PLACES YOU'D RATHER BE RIGHT NOW
• Paris. I’ve never been there. I’ve never been to Europe at all. I got goosebumps when I walked into a room full of Rembrandts at the Metropolitan. I can’t imagine what it would like to be at the Louvre.
• Near an ocean. For a girl who grew up far far away from any kind of water (Holmes Lake in Lincoln, Nebraska does not count as water), I’ve developed a serious attachment to the ocean. I find it both terrifying and fascinating. I can watch the waves for hours.
• Shopping with my sisters. There is no better shopping partner than Sissy #2. She can sniff out a sale rack from a thousand paces. She will fetch you items that complement what you’ve chosen. If something should be, well, perhaps a bit tight, she will say things like “that’s cut poorly” or “the material on that is cheap” and never ever ask if you’ve gained weight. Sissy #1 has the worst shopping luck on the planet, so mainly she’s fun to have along as comic relief. Have I mentioned that I am not the nice sissy?
Oops. I guess that's only three. I'm not very good at this, am I?
TAG FOUR FRIENDS YOU THINK WILL RESPOND
Ummm. I’m not going to. I don’t know who wants to be tagged and who doesn’t. So, feel free to chime in on any of this or none of it. It was fun to think about!

Aww, and I didn't tag you because I figured you were too busy to play. Bad me!
I've done the trip to Ensenada too. I didn't enjoy it so much, but being climbed (literally) by the kids was not a great deal of fun. The company was great!

I lived in the Philippines for 2 years! Get me drunk at RT and I'll sing the national anthem in Tagalog for you. It's one of my few skills. :)
alesia, frantically packing

Sara,
It was a fun cruise although I'm not so sure I'm the "cruise" type. We had a group of about 30 people so it was a little wild. It's an amazing group. They are not exactly a young crowd, but they can party me under the table.
Alesia,
I am so taking you up on that! I can do The Marseillaise, but that's not anywhere near that exciting. Ooh! I know! I'll get you drunk and you can sing in Tagalog. You can get me drunk and I'll hang a spoon off the end of my nose.

Alesia and Eileen--
Oh yeah?!? Well, when I'M drunk, I can, uh...uh...speak in a Southern accent, actually. Even though I grew up in New England. I'm told it's very funny and Scarlett O'Hara-ish.
Boy. We are going to have *some* party at RWA this year. We'll probably end up in jail.

I've got it! A special L.C. Talent Night! Step up, ladies, let's hear your talents! Particularly the ones you can only do when you've maybe had a wee dram or two.

When I've had a few I sing. Sometimes Led Zeppelin songs, and sometimes I go for it with my guitar and Joni Mitchell songs. You really don't want to hear me sing. You don't want to hear me play guitar, either, LOL.

Hmmm. I wonder if I can bring my autoharp to RWA Nationals. Maybe we can have a special L.C. Sing-a-long.
