Fun!!! What a great blogfest. It really made me think about things. I'll be making the rounds of the other entries of the next couple of days.
(And if you have a moment, I'd be really grateful if you could go vote for my story "Intent and Intensity" (#74) at the Jane Austen Made Me Do It Short Story Contest. Thanks!)
Fellow blogfest participant and new follower here. These are some great answers. I especially like the squealing pig response. If you get a chance, check out my questionairre at: http://writinginwonderland.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteGreat answers! Will pop over and check out your short story. I smiled at the Scottish accent. Should have qualified mine with an Irish accent! LOL
ReplyDeleteGreat answers. I'll see if I can't get over to the story contest sometime today or tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteDo you own guinea pigs? That's such an interesting answers...
Too funny. My day gig is in construction where I work with a few Scottish and Irish workers that say "Fuck sake" all day long. We all tend to say it now, with our fake Scottish accents.
ReplyDeleteI was out of the loop and didn't hear about this blofest til just now, but it looks like a fun one. Great answers!
ReplyDeleteI'll go check out your story. :)
Ahahahaha! "squealing guinea pigs" Yes, that is a VERY annoying sound. One of my friends used to have two, and I couldn't stand hearing them doing...whatever they did. lol
ReplyDeleteew, yuck! Maw. Why didn't I think of that one...
ReplyDeleteAnd *sniff* your #10 made me get all teary... Why didn't I think of that one either? :o) <3
Wish I'd thought of that for #10! Great answers!
ReplyDeleteSorry, Jenna, about the guitar bit. However, growing up on a farm (I was a tomgirl) has its pits. I fell from a tree and injured my left ear. Certain high-pitch sounds grate something awful. Guess I should have explained some. Having said that, I'm the Dancing Queen and can't resist a good time.
ReplyDeleteOMG, I love your curse word answer! And it's so true, inspiration comes from superior efforts of those around us. Makes me want to try harder, get that pay-it-forward momentum going!
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing along!!
I don't think there's anything a scottish accent can liven up.
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower.
Love your #5!
ReplyDeleteLove your favorite word, and your curse word/phrase!
ReplyDeletePeace is a great word. It holds so much promise to it. Lovely answers!
ReplyDeleteA victims attitude gets under my skin also! Nice answers. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on number eight.
ReplyDeletePeace - Beautiful words.
ReplyDeleteFor Fuck's Sake, said with a Scottish accent! Made me think of Billy Connolly, the comedian/actor! He swears brilliantly!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your answers.
