I've Been Tagged

Hey everybody, I've been tagged by D. G. Hudson in the 11 Questions "getting to know you" tag.

So here's the deal:  I'll answer D G Hudson's questions, then offer my own.  I'll follow his lead by selecting eleven followers from my blog.

THE RULES ARE:

I answer 11 questions and make up 11 of my own.  I tag and link to 11 other bloggers.  You who are tagged are asked to do the same on your blog.

Okey dokey.  So here are my answers to D G. Hudson:

1.  How long have you blogged?  I've been doing Mama Diaries for about two years.  My gardening blog is new - just 2 months.  And I've done various string teaching blogs, so I guess the grand total is about five years.

2. Do you have a pet?  Oh, do I!  I have quite a few:  a parakeet, a cat, a dog, a frog, and seventeen fish.  You could say that I live in a zoo!

3.  Do you like film noir? Um, what's that?  Black film?  Dark film? Night film?  I'm confused.  So, I can't answer this question.  If anyone can shed some light on this, please do!

4. Do you pick male or female protagonists most? Both.  I have no preference, and my writing reflects that.

5. Which female actor in LOTR would you want to be if offered a part in the movie? Okay, I must seriously be out of sync with pop culture, because I have no idea what LOTR is.  So I'll just give my favorite female actress:  Merryl Streep.  The lady has talent.

6.  Which male actor in LOTR would you want to be if offered a part in the movie?  Diddo on this one.  My favorite male actor:  Tom Hanks.  Obviously I like the classics.

7.  Where do you write?  Anywhere I can.  Mostly on my bedroom floor, but I've been known to write in my car, or even in the bathroom.

8.  What beverage is beside you when you write?  I don't drink and write.  It's too dangerous!

9.  Do you listen to music while writing?  No, I find it distracting.  Perhaps this is because I'm a professional musician, and I end up focusing more on the music than the writing.  I like silence!

10.  What is your favorite city?  Oh, gosh.  That's a tough one!  I guess I'd have to say Paris.  I've been there many times, and each time I find something new.

11.  Is there a phone in your writing place?  Yes.  I usually ignore it when I'm writing, though.
