Funny how things sometimes turn up at the most opportune moment isn’t it? Yesterday I promised that I would write a better post today but then I got to today found the whole flat and empty thing continuing. I had no inspiration whatsoever and I was just starting to think I’d have to break my promise when Hello Sailor popped up and tagged me in a very exciting game of tag. I’m still quite new to blogging, so you’ll have to forgive my excitement here, but this whole game of tag thing? I totally love it!
Rules –
- You must post the rules
- Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post
- Create eleven new questions to ask the people you’ve tagged
- Tag (eleven) people with a link to your post
- Let them know they’ve been tagged
Here are my answers to the questions posed by Hello Sailor:
1. Do you think you could survive a zombie apocalypse and if so what would be your weapon of choice? If there was a zombie apocalypse I’d shit my pants and then probably hide in the wardrobe. I’d only survive if the zombies didn’t think to look in the wardrobe or if chucking miscellaneous items of clothing was enough to scare the zombies off*.
2. If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? Okay. So I’m assuming I don’t have to worry about nutrition? I’m tempted to say balsamic vinegar because it’s one of my favourite things in the world but you really have to eat it with something else (preferably olive oil and bread) to get the full effect and I’d probably get fed up with just balsamic vinegar on its own. Plus, technically I would have to drink it so I don’t think it would count anyway. The second thing that comes to mind is a full English breakfast but I’m worried that might not count because it’s more than one thing. I also really like pickled onions, Milano salami and cheese but, much like balsamic vinegar, they don’t work so well alone. Anyway…. having weighed up all the options** I’ve decided I’m going to live on the crunchy loveliness of sea salt and balsamic vinegar kettle chips for the rest of my life. Because I love them and because it means I won’t have to miss out on balsamic vinegar altogether.
3. Do you think Noah had woodpeckers on the ark? If he did, where did he keep them? Noah must have had woodpeckers on the ark because I don’t think he was mean enough to leave them behind just because they were a bit noisy and might sink his boat. I expect he wrapped their beaks up in cotton wool or something soft like that and let them think they were pecking away when really they were just banging their heads against the wall***
4. If space flight was affordable, would you go, just because you could? Do you know, I don’t think I would. I like the idea but a) I’m not very good in small spaces (like spaceships for example) and b) sometimes I get someplace and decide that I want to go home IMMEDIATELY. I don’t suppose you can change your mind like that once you get to space.
5. Would you very kindly draw me a picture of a bird and post it on your blog so I can add to my collection? Oh no…. this one has made my blood run cold because I’m really not very good at drawing. At all. Can I have some extra time to do this part of the homework please Sailor? It’ll probably take me like a squillion attempts and then it still won’t be very good. But, as it’s you, I will try my best.
6. Do you think unicorns exist? My take on unicorns is almost the same as my take on God. No-one can prove that they exist but no-one can prove that they don’t; which in my book means they might. The only difference (to me) between unicorns and god is that I kinda hope that unicorns do exist but I don’t really mind about God but not in a blasphemous way****.
7. Why doesn’t Tarzan have a beard? Were there razors in the jungle? Erm… who says Tarzan doesn’t have a beard:
8. How old do you think you would be if you didn’t know how old you are? Well. I think I would be the age I am now even if I didn’t know what age I was. Then again it would probably be quite easy to convince me I was a different age if I didn’t know what age I was. But double then again it wouldn’t matter what age I thought I was because I would still definitely be the age I am even if I didn’t know what age I was or if I thought I was a different age. My head hurts.
9. Will you be joining me on my boat when I win the lottery? Sounds fantabulous to me if you’ll have me. I’m not very big and I’m good at tidying up so it shouldn’t be too much of a problem. But I might have to bring my cat and he’s quite special. That okay?
10. What makes you, you?
All the stuff that ever happened and all the stuff that will; all the books I ever read and all the songs I ever heard*****; everybody I ever met and everything they said to me. Oh, and the fact that I’m not very big (meaning you’d hardly notice me on a boat) and I’m good at tidying things up (especially boats). Did me and Gryff make it onto your boat?
11. Did you like my questions?
I loved your questions apart from the one that made my head hurt.
*It might seem unlikely but you haven’t seen some of the fashion disasters I’ve had over the years
**As you can see, I’m taking this game quite seriously
***I am familiar with this feeling
****I’m so going to hell
*****Even the really crap ones like Candle in the wind
Here are my eleven questions:
- What’s the best advice you’ve ever been given?
- Are you a dog person, a cat person, or some-other-kind-of-animal person?
- What is your opinion of mushrooms?*
- Could you recommend a good book please?
- What’s your motto?
- Is it okay to lie to spare somebody’s feelings?
- What’s the best thing about blogging?
- Could you tell me a joke or share something funny?
- Is there something that you don’t like but wish that you did?
- What would you do if you found a ferret in the street?**
- What should I ask if I really want to get to know you?***
*I personally think that they are evil
**I ask for a reason
***For future reference
And here are the bloggers I’m tagging (note to people I’m tagging, no need to feel obliged to take part I just thought it was good fun)
Hello Sailor (sorry but I do so want to hear your answers!)
How do you eat an elephant? 
I got around to it in the end … sort of! 🙂
Ooh . . . you tagged me! I’ll answer those, but it might be a bit . . . I have an awards post I need to write first. But I’ll definitely answer your questions sometime in the near future!
Your answer to #8 is pretty much the same as mine . . . not knowing how old we are doesn’t change what our age is, lol. And I like your answer about the woodpecker!
Lol your answers are funny 🙂 seeing quite a few people getting tagged at the moment. I used to be on xanga and things like that would happen all the time but its taken a year for me to realise it happens on wordpress too!
I love this, though I will need a day or two to formulate responses. Thanks!
This made me smile 🙂 I don’t know which answer I liked most, I think it was probably the wood pecker one 😀
And I will answer your questions, but probably tomorrow or the weekend!
xoxox
I am excited to do this and I love all of the questions and all of the answers – the only sad part is that as I am (fairly) new on here and have not been very persistent, I don’t have a lot of bloggers to tag…. But I will do my best. Thank you for making me smile today x
You are very welcome. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have many to tag – just pass it on to people to make them smile 🙂
I am not done yet as I decided I needed to do a bit of packing but I’m working on it and will finish it as soon as time, work, move allows. I want you to know that I really enjoy doing this 😀
