Tag! You're It.

Tag, the Blogger game ...

Rule #1: the tagged person must write his answers on his blog and replace any question he dislikes with a new question formulated by himself.
Rule #2: tag four people to do this quiz; they cannot refuse (ok, so nothing bad will happen if you don't participate but I would love to see your answers). The tag-ee must state who tagged them.

Nicola tagged me, so here goes ...
I'm tagging the only people I know who currently blog. Hope you gals haven't been tagged already!

1. If you have pets, do you see them as merely animals or are they members of your family?
I don't have pets, but if I did, I hope they would never become surrogate children.

2. If you could have a dream come true, what would it be?
To be able to fly, or use telekinesis.

3. What would you do with a billion dollars?
Pay off my siblings' houses (or buy them one).
Buy a gleaming Steinway grand (haven't decided on the color yet) and a concert house in the country that would hold it. Ooh, and of course there'd be a library in there.
Give back to my Alma Mater (of course I'm assuming the church gets my tithe).
I think I'd like horses ...

4. What helps to pull you out of a bad mood?
I don't try to pull out of bad moods. I use them to write expressionistic poetry, music, and stories. Usually bad ones.

5. When do you usually go to bed?
Depending on rehearsals, anytime from 9:00 to 11:30.

6. What is your opinion of Valentine's Day?
I don't hate it, and I'm glad I don't have a reason to hate it (i.e., no bad memories associated with significant others). And hey, it's an excuse to eat chocolate!

7. What kind of books do you read?
Speculative fiction
Classics
YA and Children's books
Pretty much all fiction.
Occasional delving into subjects such as foreign languages, science, history, and philosophy/religion.

8. How do you see yourself in 10 years?
Athletic, published, hopefully over my neuroses.

9. What's your fear?
That I'll be afraid to die.

10. Would you give up all junk food for the rest of your life for the opportunity to see outer space?
I'd give it up to be a space colonist! My life would probably be short anyway.

11. What's the first thing you do when you wake up?
Open my eyes and see what time it is.

12. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
That I had uncorrected 20/20 vision. So many promising careers cut short.

13. If you could pick a new name for yourself, what would it be?
When I was younger, my pseudonym was Seana Neshton.

14. If you had to choose, would you rather live in the east coast or the west coast?
Never been to the east coast, but I can definitely say the west coast.

15. If you could only eat one thing for the next six months, what would it be?
Bread. And I'd drink milk.

16. What is the thing you enjoy about blogging the most?
Not having to temper my comments to be socially acceptable.

17. Do you prefer salty or sweet foods?
I prefer chocolate.

18. What items are in your purse right now?
Which purse? Most carry chapstick, lotion, a knife, paper, and pen.

19. If you had to choose between vacationing at the beach or in the mountains where would you go?
Beach, if there wouldn't be a lot of people.

20. What do you watch on television that you know you shouldn't?
I'm currently watching Chuck, No Ordinary Family, and the Vampire Diaries, so you be the judge.
