Pandy Interviews Me

This blogging stuff is strange, sometimes. What is a "meme" or a "tagboard?" There are games that seem to go around from blog to blog, and I have yet to engage in any (the grand exception being the balderdash game—if you haven't been there for awhile, do go look. We're working on "taraxacum").

But an "interview" seems fairly straightforward, and I figured, yeah, I could do that, 'cause I know what it means. So when I saw the interview game (and I call it a "game" for the lack of something better to call it) on Pandy's blog, I volunteered.

The Interview

Pandy: What is currently your favorite game (board or otherwise)?

Me: I like all sorts of games—card games, board games, video games, playing tag with my clueless and enthusiastic toddler…. But my most favorite? Cat-baiting, by far. There are so many different ways to do it. A little bit of tape on the bottom of a paw; twitching your finger behind a pillow; meowing like a lost kitten in the next room. For our cat, if you…how to describe it? ...hum, low-pitched, monotone: it drives him frantic. Don’t know why. (He had a bad experience with—what? A bee?)

The only problem with cat-baiting this particular cat is that he is a bit too smart. If I put my hand under a blanket, say, and twitch it around appealingly like a wee lost mouse, he will glance at my hand twitching under the blanket, crouch, and...spring for my unprotected upper arm.

I have many scars from playing this game.

Pandy: If you could only eat one food for the next year (I won't say "for the rest of your life", that's just unreasonable), what would you pick?

Me: *sigh* Chocolate, hands down. Who needs nutrition when your taste buds are happy and your butt is as big as a houseboat?

Pandy: What's your pet peeve?

Me: Honestly, dishonesty. Or, more specifically, people who live in denial. And no, I am not one of these people. No, no, no. Not me.

Pandy: What are the last three books you read?

Me: Hmm...read for the first time, or the very last thing I put down? (I've been on a re-reading kick lately, and they don't really count, do they? I know it doesn't matter, no one cares, but I can't help pickin' the nit.) Bah.

Last three books (rereads)

1. Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
2. The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale
3. a whole slew of Jane Austen novels that I read one right after the other so I'm going to count them as one book, including, but not limited to, Sense and Sensibility, Lady Susan, Northanger Abbey, Pride and Prejudice
   

Last three books (stuff that was new to me)

1. Enthusiasm by Polly Shulman—meh. YA romance. It was...okay.
2. I am the Messenger by Markus Zusak—I really liked this one until the end, which got a little gimmicky for me.
3. Midnighters series by Scott Westerfeld—Liked these. They are definitely on my reread list.
   

Pandy: Pickles or wagons?

Me: Pickles. You can carry them in your pocket a little easier (although wagons are much less sticky).

You wanna play? Here are the rules:

1. Leave me a comment saying, “Interview me.”
2. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will update your blog with the answers to the questions. (If you don't have a blog, well—I guess you could do it in the comments section of this post, if you really, really want to.)
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the
same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.
