Rule Breaking Galore

Hokay, so. Medeia/Plenty of Paper memed me. Hoorah!

Six Random Facts:

1. The thing that has been said most to me by strangers is either "I love your hair!" or "What's that on your arm?".
   
2. I got letters from a faerie when I was young(er).
   
3. If I had been born a boy, my mother would have named me Nathan. Or perhaps Edgar Allen.
4. In preschool, for Hallowe'en, I was Jeannie from the television show "I Dream of Jeannie".
5. I adore cemeteries and swingsets.
6. I was Mary, Queen of Scots in my former life. And whatever they may say about me, I didn't do it.

Everybody has been taken!!!! *Cries tears of despair* I suppose I'll tag B. as well. Just to pile on the pressure.

I have not been tagged for The Mutating Meme. But I'm going to pretend that I have, because I really want to answer the questions. I mean, because I'm just way too cool for rules. So there. Let's say that...Aislinn tagged me. Check out the original here. (You can find the rules there, too. This computer seems to be on something. It won't let me copy-paste into blogger.)

1. If you could change your name, what would you change it to?

Hildegarde. Or maybe Gertrudis. But then again, it might have to be Bob.
2. What is your least favourite food?

The flesh of animals.
3. Are there any songs that get stuck in your head really easily? How do you get them out?

Quite a few. Sometimes it's something really annoying, like Fergalicious. Other times it's a really great song, like Anna Begins, by the Counting Crows. The worst thing that happens is when I have multiple songs stuck in my head, all dueling each other for the position of "Most Prevalent". I am never able to get them out and end up half-singing, half-muttering them to myself all day. Or for a couple of days. Eventually, they get absorbed into my mental shelving units while I'm sleeping. Only to be replaced by another song.

4. If you could be (or are) a mythical creature, what would it be (or what are you)?

A faerie, o'course. That does not, however, mean that I'm a little, sparkle-sprinkling creature with butterfly wings. Jeez, people. "Faerie" is a very broad category.
5. What do colours taste like?

Honey and sunshine and freshly-cut-grass.
6. Name three (or more if you like) fawesome words.

Mellifluous, incandescent, enigma, irrevocable, serendipity, intoxicating, viola, inamorata, dust, quixotic (originally, I was going to not put this one in, because Aislinn already had. But I simply love it too much to leave it out), phantasmagorical....(I like words.)
7. Zombies or unicorns?

Unicorns. Fo shiz.

8. Ball gown?

Yes, please.

I tag The Incandescent Corner and B. and...er...uh...I don't know!!!! Sigh. Failure.

Rule-breakingly...

Something to Look Forward To.

Hey! Look over there! It's a poll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How excitng.
Goodness. I'm looking forward to all of these (except for, you know, the one's I've already read. Which are very look-forward-to-able).
Anyway...Vote. Explicate. The Dark Lord commands thee.

Excitedly...

Peace, man. Peace.

In response to the recent turmoil thats seems to have cast a shadow in the realm of book bloggery:
I would like to apologise to Invictus Verbum and The Maelstrom for the tension that seems to have sprung forth from some deep, dark, and mysterious abyss.

None of us here holds any animosity toward either blog. We all love books. We're all pretty awesome. It's all good.

And so I--being the hippie-type creature that I am--hold up my fingers in the sign for peace (and end up looking rather like one of those awkward anime/manga heroines. [You know? Think Sailor Moon when she's being a ditzy schoolgirl.] Because I'm just that cool). *Begins strumming guitar pulled out of hammerspace. Starts singing Kumbaya. The general populace groans/headdesks/facepalms/thwacks Avery for being annoying and tangential*

Singing, apologising, and eating animal crackers (Dude. So. Delicious.)...
