just kidding. No seriously, I have been picked. For grins and giggles and we all know we need a little bit of that from time to time now don’t we? So you get a break, for one post, one post only, from my crazy tech mumble and book information.

So here’s the deal. I get to answer her questions, and send some out on my own. The choice to participate is all up to you, nobody’s feelings getting hurt. It is all in fun, but it also is a get to know the person, don’t you think? Especially all of us authors out there and the lovely people of the blogosphere. Is that a real word? Remind me to check on that later.

Thanks to the lovely ioniamartin for getting me involved. You should check out her page, awesome reviews and is very entertaining to me. 

Rules:
1. Post these rules.
2. Post a photo of yourself and eleven random facts about you.
3. Answer the questions given to you in the tagger’s post.
4. Create eleven new questions and tag new people to answer them.
5. Go to their blog/twitter and let them know they have been tagged.

This pic is from 2005, there were not any rules stating from WHEN the picture was taken.

11 random facts about me:

1.I love the color red so much I throw it in my hair in a bright flamboyant kind of way(not literally, think about the mess that would be)

2.I am a huge Doctor Who fan; I fell in love with the 4th and there are no less than 30 items sitting around in my house at this moment. I sign my books with my sonic screwdriver pen (I wish I had that picture to post)

3. As much rock music I listen to (Disturbed is my favorite, just laying it out there), I enjoy true classical and…..shhhhh…….I heart ABBA so much I ran the 8-track out a few times it had to be replaced. (remember I’m not THAT old, I was a kid at the time). 

4. To go with the last one, I have actually met in person band members from from Disturbed multiple times, Collective Soul, Ra, and Drowning Pool. I’m diggin on Damon Johnson right now, he’s got some great music out there including becoming a member of the ever loving Thin Lizzy. I think I have gone to over 30 concerts.

5.I hate vegetables. I’m an anti-vegetarian. Not the people, just the icky greens on my plate. I’m sure there’s some pasta I can cover it with. 

6. My confidence seems high, but deep down inside I am always that little girl that never wanted to grow up so I look for approval.

7. Biggest fear is a needle. Yeah, not gonna happen. I think I was 6 when it took about 4 people to hold me down. I do not submit easily.

8. I’m a huge mythology fan that spreads well beyond the scope of just Greek and Roman. Right now I am really into Norse mythology.

9. I dread wearing high heels. Even though I’m a short 5’2 and I would think they would be awesome, there is a 75% chance you will see me take a tumble and a 90% chance of seeing me walking in the streets carrying them.

10. I love surprises, but dislike romantic surprises

11.I am obsessed with tiger’s and their endangerment. Trafficking is bad stuff to me. I wrote an essay in college about that and got to meet the “babies” while I interviewed the keepers. (2yrs old and they weren’t small) at the Nashville Zoo before it moved. The white tiger is an even more endangered species and can only be from a Bengal line. DNA mutation, not an albino. They are/were worshiped in India where they are mostly found, although at this point I doubt there are any more in the wild.
