Who put the Me in Meme?

My lovely friend, author Adam Slade, has foisted a meme upon me. It buuuuuurns.

But I shall endeavor to live up to his lofty standards with ridiculous answers and slightly uncomfortable pauses.

Ahem:

A Meme

1. If you could have any superpower, what would you have? Why?

What the what? You don't think popping out five kids and not becoming a complete nutter in the process isn't a superpower? You're grounded.

2. Who is your style icon?

Writing-wise: If I get even thisclose to being like Poe or Shirley Jackson, I'll die a happy yet angsty woman. I may be a little too perky, however.

Fashion-wise: I tend to favor the Dolly Parton school o'fashion and horticulture.

3. What is your favorite quote?

"Mom, I think I'm allergic to dumb."  Vyolette Graham, four-years-old

4. What is the best compliment you’ve ever received?
I was told today on twitter, "I love that your pic makes everything you tweet, including eating poison M&Ms, seem like the best idea in the world." Awesome, eh?  =]

5. What playlist/CD is in your CD player/iPod right now?

When Harry met Sally soundtrack. I have a deep and abiding love for all things classic and Cole Porter makes my whammy go bammy.

6. Are you a night owl or a morning person?

I'm a mid-morning person, meaning get the RY#$@ out of my way until I've consumed two cups of strong coffee and it's around 10:30am. Then I'm a vision of loveliness. Or mayhem. Whatever.

7. Do you prefer dogs or cats?

Dogs are a bit piquant so I'll take the cats this time though the bones are harder to pick out of your teeth.

8. What is the meaning behind your blog name?

Google was taken.

And now to inflict meme torture upon my unsuspecting friends:

• Beth Bartlett from Wisecrack Zodiac
• Angie Mansfield from The Zebra Rag just so I can get her to land for one flippin' minute and write me
• Jason Tudor if he can squeeze me in because he's the busiest man I know  =]
• Amy Mullis because that chick makes me giggle at Mind over Mullis
• Terri Coop as one of my newest Ermas and I love her so at Why I Fear Clowns
