This will be fun!
1. What’s your name? Brit...w00t! This will be fun!<br /><br />1. What’s your name? <b>Brittany - no not like in Britney Spears.</b><br /><br />2. Are you a writer? <b>Well, trying to be. I'm working on my first novel, a YA epic fantasy, and blogging about it at http://thewordsofawriter.blogspot.com/</b><br /><br />3. Everyone has a book in them. What would yours be called? <b>Hmmm.... I must confess, I'm not all that great with titles. Lets see... <i>For Better Or Worse</i> Everyone thought I was bipolar, but really I'm ADHD - that was a sucky time, what with the wrong meds.</b><br /><br />4. Create the next line to this limerick:<br />a. There once was a man from Poughkeepsie…<br /><b>A dentist he so wanted to be.<br />But the problem, you see,<br />when he pulled out my teeth<br />Is they had no reason to leave.</b><br /><br />5. What would number 7 on your 25 things about you list be? <b>If I love a book, it doesn't go down until I've finished it. No, seriously, I've stayed up 2 nights in a row to finish Lord of the Rings.</b><br /><br />6. Briefly describe a childhood memory that has stuck with you. <b>Hmmm... going to Disney Land in Tokyo, and in California, when we lived there. My parents wouldn't tell us (my twin and I) we were going until that morning, when they'd wake us up reeeaal early. That way we wouldn't tire ourselves out the night before and be all cranky. We'd picnic by our car instead of eat at the restaurants. </b><br /><br />7. Things that must go? <b> INTOLERANCE. It stems from fear, and fear often comes from change, or different cultures, people, ideals. Learn about them, and if you still don't like them, FINE. Just don't belittle something you don't understand.</b><br /><br />I was right, this was fun! And so much better than those stupid surveys on Myspace of Facebook.<br /><br />^_^B Mari Landgrebehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09882566188115324805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6131409629757210790.post-49893808416046786422009-09-08T08:59:08.718-07:002009-09-08T08:59:08.718-07:00Una- It's never too late for you to enter...

Making mud pies with my BFF with real eggs (we had chickens) and those little red poisonous berries (not the blackberries we had because we liked eating those). Now now, we didn't eat them...we just liked making them and you can't make a pie without berries and eggs. Oh and we'd throw the shells over the fence into my neighbor's berry bushes. Yeah...that part didn't go over so well either. <br />7. Rude, mean people and spiderweb booby-traps.
