7. Have you ever had an odd/cool encounter with a wild animal?

Actually, i want to amend this answer. Theres a black snake that has been living on the East side of my house for three years -- I love the fact that its there because it will keep the rodent population down and they are territorial so he'll keep the bad snakes away....When I first saw it, it would scurry away in fear even if it was many yards away from me...However, over the years, its gotten used to me....Dont get me wrong, it wont let me get close enough to catch it, but if its out in the yard and sees me, it doesnt run off...It just looks at me now like,"Hey Neighbor, Good Morning. Lovely weather we're having, isnt it?" :D and its flight zone is shorter now: I can walk in a fairly close proximity of it ( 4 or 5 ft) and it wont take off....weird :D

1. Who do you feel is the best male singer ever?

Otis Redding

2. What song title best represents your life?

My husband says my theme is I Won't Back Down, so I'll go with that (lol)

3. What about being an adult do you wish someone had told you about before it happened?

So many things. My mom had a bad childhood and a Cinderella-like teenage experience, so we were sheltered--didn't have to do a dang thing. I'm STILL learning things I probably should have known years ago.

4. Post a picture or gif that shows us your personality.

5. Of what are you the “King” or “Queen?”

Commas

6. Did you ride bikes when growing up? Describe.

Yep. Out after breakfast, home when my dad did that loud dad whistle. If you were beyond hearing it, you had gone too far from home.

7. Have you ever had an odd/cool encounter with a wild animal? Describe.

Camping with family and after 4 days I was going nuts. So I started hiking up the road very quickly, but quietly (so no one would say, "I wanna come!" :D). About a mile from camp, I heard a rustling in the bushes, and, being basically a city person, I immediately thought of killers in the brush. I whipped around and came face to face with a HUGE elk (at least a 5 point). We stared at each other for a few seconds, then he loped off down the mountain. Scared both of us!

8. You have to trade lives with a celebrity. Who will it be and why?

I have to? Um...maybe Margaret Atwood? Great imagination, interested and involved with many causes, but with $ to do fun stuff, too. :)

9. What documentary would you recommend for us to watch?

A Place at the Table or Nightmares in Red, White, and Blue. I've watched each of them several times. Oh! and Sound City!

10. Think of a weird co-worker. What makes them so weird?

No co-workers right now. Most memorable in the past was Stinky Pete. You can guess why.

11. (For Siggy) You suspect your next door neighbor is a serial killer. What do you do?

Watch them, and call the police at the appropriate time (if I see something REALLY objectively suspicious), though there's not a lot they can do. Then move, because SERIAL KILLER.

5. Of what are you the “King” or “Queen?”
History nerds
6. Did you ride bikes when growing up? Describe.
Yes. Had a Crescent that was real good. Usded to take it on long tours in the nearby forrest. beautiful.
7. Have you ever had an odd/cool encounter with a wild animal? Describe.
Met a moose once. Out taking a walk at our summer place. Turned a corner on the trail and there he stood. Just a meter away from me. Have never seen a moose that close. He was HUGE. One understands why he is called king of the woods. Have never seen a moose look so surprised though. After we both stared in surprise for awhile i decided that i could take my walk somewhere else and backed away.
Also that bird (Tornsvala in swedish, think it maybe Swift in english) It cant fly unless it is about one meter or more up in the air. It needs that air under the wings. Once i found one on the ground. It couldnt fly from there and i wouldn't want to take it in my hands (he was rather young, thought the parents might reject him) but he climbed op my leg(they have sharp claws) over my tummy and chest up to my shoulder (i stood still) and there he spread his wings and flew away.
8. You have to trade lives with a celebrity. Who will it be and why?
Gotta be a writer. Perhaps Stephen King himself. ? Seems like a nice guy. Or Peter Englund, great swedish historian.

Not history documentaries. They are often too flashy and hide certain facts to support one theory. I liked these BBc ducomentaries. Life on Earth, Planet Earth, The Living Planet, The First Eden
10. Think of a weird co-worker. What makes them so weird?
I had one once that didn't like cheese and got upset when i ate it. That is weird!!!!
11. (For Siggy) You suspect your next door neighbor is a serial killer. What do you do?
Tip the police, install a security door and look me over the shoulder until he was caught.

1. Who do you feel is the best male singer ever? While I don't think he's the "best" singer ever, I'm gonna go with Joshua Radin. Saw him in concert with Matt Nathanson last year, and he was amazing. His voice is just so soothing and there's something about it that makes me happy.
2. What song title best represents your life? "I Wanna Go Back" by Eddie Money. I seem to live most of my life missing the way things used to be.

3. What about being an adult do you wish someone had told you about before it happened? How it's easy to feel lost, even though you know where you are.

4. Post a picture or gif that shows us your personality.

5. Of what are you the “King” or “Queen?”. The King Of Contradiction.

6. Did you ride bikes when growing up? Describe. Yes! Some of my best childhood memories are of me learning how to ride a bike and the adventures I went on.

7. Have you ever had an odd/cool encounter with a wild animal? Describe. No, I actually haven't. As much as I got for walks/runs in the woods, you would think that I would have had an encounter, but nope.

8. You have to trade lives with a celebrity. Who will it be and why? It would have to be SK. I used to write when I was younger, and I miss the feeling I had when it did it. I kinda want to feel that again.

9. What documentary would you recommend for us to watch? "The King Of Kong: A Fistful Of Quarters", just because it was fun. :)

10. Think of a weird co-worker. What makes them so weird? The fact that she knows she's a horrible person that hurts people, but doesn't seem to care. That whole idea is completely foreign to me.

11. (For Siggy) You suspect your next door neighbor is a serial killer. What do you do? If he or she is a serial killer who only kills bad people like Dexter, then I do nothing. Otherwise I call the FBI. Part of me would like to get to know the person first, because I am fascinated with serial killers and what makes them tick, but I wouldn't risk someone else getting killed.
