En Fuego!

The Aspiring Sub-creator herself, Sarah McCabe, gave me a “Blog on Fire” award, which means I get to answer a wonderfully strange list of questions (and you get to read my wonderfully strange answers).

To share the wealth, I’m nominating Angeline Trevena for the award, too. Check out her corner of the blogosphere!

Thanks, Sarah!

Onto the fun, random questions:

1) Are you a rutabaga?
Not the last time I checked.

2) Who is your current crush?
Well, my current author crush is John Stephens. Just read his Emerald Atlas and loved it! Otherwise, I have a lifelong crush on one Jon Bon Jovi.

3) Upload a heartwarming picture that makes you smile.
How about a video? This one always makes me grin. Dog + Deer = Best Friends!

4) When was the last time you ate a vine-ripened tomato?
Um, the container garden had technical difficulties this year…several difficulties. Therefore, no tomatoes were harmed in the posting of this blog entry.

5) Name one habit that causes other people to plot your demise?
I read Smithsonian Magazine at the beach. Apparently this is very embarrassing for my friends. They have threatened to a) leave me b) pretend they don’t know me and c) toss my magazine in the ocean. So far, none have deterred me!

6) What is the weirdest, most-disgusting job you've ever had to do?
I cleaned the tiger and polar bear exhibits at our local zoo once as an aide for the “Junior Zookeeper” class. But that was pretty awesome, as well as disgusting!

7) Where da muffin top at?
I may or may not have eaten it. And that is all I will say on the matter. :)

8) What author introduced you to your genre?
Anne McCaffrey…she made me believe in dragons.

9) Describe yourself using obscure Latin words
Fidelis. Ad majorem dei gloriam.
