It's a meme, not a Zombie Chicken award, sadly. I'm supposed to tag others, but the blog rule on this site supersedes. If it speaks to you, answer it. Haven't done a meme in a long time, mostly because so many of the questions are much of a muchness. I'd never been asked about my favorite tree before, though. Thanks English Rider.
What are your current obsessions?
I don't obsess. Really, I don't. Even the cats, I want to get them all good homes, but that's impossible, so I just do my bit. I should get obsessed about the Shelter Cat ABC book, would make it much easier.
Which item from your wardrobe do you wear most often?
I have a wardrobe? Shorts and t-shirts for the foreseeable misery of summer.
What's for Dinner?
Leftover orange chicken from chinese delivered last night. Could use a good meal, but haven't the energy to cook.
Last thing you bought?
Stretchy knit sleep shorts.
What are you listening to?
The clock ticking, the train rolling past, blood whooshing through my ears.
If you were a God/Goddess who would you be?
Oh, I'd be a Small God. Maybe a god of tea.
Favorite holiday spots?
Anyplace away, but not very far,and very quiet. We loved Astoria, OR, and would go again anytime.
Reading right now?
A book on heraldry, so we can make up a pseudo-crest for ourselves.
Who or what makes you laugh until you are weak?
Mike and Matt, witty and raw, dear friends who live too far away. D can get me laughing like that, too. Moby when he's chasing fiercely.
Who's your Hero/Heroine?
I'm not big on the very idea. The best ones never let anyone see that they are doing anything grand, and don't see it that way themselves. They just do their best and keep on.
First Spring Thing?
Spring's already gone here, well into the HEAT. But I did clear out the closets, put away the winter stuff, bring out the shorts and cotton socks. Planted tomatoes on the balcony. Two plants. Romas. But that was three weeks ago.
What's the funniest thing you ever saw in your life?
I think everything is funny. How about recently? Hearing a sound, then realizing Moby is in his Fortress of Solitude because I can see just his ears perked up above the side of the catbed.
Oh, I love the Maru videos.
Favourite Film?
I have over 6K movies rated on Netflix, and you want ONE? I am reminded of Amelie, a sweet and magical little gem of a film.
Care to share some wisdom?
The reward for living a good life - is living a good life.
Gravity is a harsh mistress.
If you can make a list of all your pet peeves, you're not really enjoying yourself.
If you were a tree, which one would you be, and why?
I have a long fondness for maples of all sorts. Colorful in the fall, those entertaining helicopter seeds, maple sugar candy is such a weakness of mine, good shade, and reminds me of the Canadian flag.

Dear Small God of Tea (I do think there MUST be a small god of tea),
does maple sugar candy taste as wonderful as my imagination insists it must?
Reading right now: The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.
Fictitious characters: R Daneel Olivaw and Lt Cmdr Data.
herhimnbryn,
That may be an alternate pseudonym for me now. Since I have one believer, that's all a Small God needs.
I love maple sugar candy, but it may be an childhood imprinting thing. Hard for me to judge. Although, if you think it sounds wonderful, you probably would love it too.
Phil,
I detect a mechanical theme.
(o)
I'm tempted by this one, Zhoen - haven't memed in a while.
Hm, well I know what you mean about pet peeves etc. But it can be great fun listing them too. Gristle in the mince meat. Just saying.
The word ver is micer - one for the cats?
enjoyed this, Small God of Tea. Tempted by the meme ....
I retroactively awarded you a Zombie Chicken too. Far be it from me to anger the Tea Gods. Rules, what rules?
Enjoyed your responses.
RtheS,
To each their own gristle. I prefer BCBs. (Burnt Crunchy Bits.)
mm,
It has not been a prevalent tool lately, has it? Maybe going a bit passe.
ER,
I don't want a pity Zombie Chicken.
What's this? Whine coming and going then exit stage left. More Eeyore than Pooh-like, methinks.
Seriously, I do enjoy your blog. I am sure the Great and Legitimate Zombie Chicken has his eye on you.
