I'm so excited! I was tagged!
I was tagged by @treesofyavanna to answer questions! I hadn’t seen the eleven questions game, that a recall so I looked it up. This is what I found for rules:
Always post the rules. Answer the questions the person who tagged you asked and write 11 new questions. Tag 11 new people. Message the people you tagged to let them know you tagged them.
Here are treeofyavanna’s questions and my answers:
1. What’s your favorite thing to do on a day off?
Right now, play minecraft, occasionally watching videos from YouTube with my family. But I’d love to spend a day in a nice hotel with my wife. Something with an in room hot tub like we had part of our honeymoon.
2. Most recent book you’ve read?
The End of All Things by John Scalzi.
3. What is your current obsession?
Minecraft. I bought a server last year and I play on it with my wife and our kids.
4. Tea or coffee? Coffee. I’ve been a coffee drinker since I was two. But I drink tea too. Sometimes at the same time sipping each in turn.
5. What was your first computer?
Texas Instruments TI-99/4A. I had no premade media for it. It new basicA so i learned to program a bit. I used my mother’s cassette recorder to save the programs I wrote. The biggest of these was one that played when the Saints Come Marching home while ASCII art I made scrolled onto the screen. I bullied my cousin into giving me a list of notes for the song and used a chart that came with the computer to translate notes into frequencies.
Indian! I first had it at the Kabob and Curry in Providence, Rhode Island which remains my favorite restaurant. I like not just Indian cuisine as filtered through the UK which most restaurants seem to have but other takes on it like the vegetarian place across the street which I just order meals for the number of people eating and then order some extra samosas and Roti. I don’t know the names of the dishes I’ve had from there, but there has never been one I did not like. Udupi Palace, another vegetarian place had what appeared to be whipped spinach that was so good I nearly begged for more.
7. If you had to be on a reality TV show, what kind of show would you be on, and how would you try to win?
I really don’t watch much reality television. Most of it seems like it would be toxic to participate in. It seems often to include all the worse elements of middle school. I’d select something where I could sit down for most of it, if possible. As for how I’d try to win, I’d pay close attention to the rules and do my best.
8. Cats or dogs? Or neither? I’m allergic to both, I love them both, but if I could not be allergic, it would be cats. I’d like a pair of cats.
9. Can you play a musical instrument? Not well. I took the flute, which is stupid for an asthmatic. Even so, breath control was the easiest part for me. I could sound the notes correctly, but I am tone deaf. I have no memory for melody and I never could hear if I was playing the correct notes. I understand the theory but it never got any easier and I never got past the first three note songs you start with.
10. Over-the-ear headphones, or ear buds? Or neither?
Neither. Over the head headsets are best, but failing that in the ear headphones.
11. Fire, earth, water, or air?
Earth. I represented earth in a friend’s wedding as I am the earthiest person she knew.
If there is a new person in your life, someone who you will spend a lot of time with, what book would you like them to read to give them a shared context?
Which do you prefer, odd or even numbers, or do you not have a preference?
Popping zits: fun or gross or both?
Is there a fandom that brought you to Tumblr and are you still in it?
Is there a color you would like to wear, but don’t and why not?
What’s your favorite food texture?
Is there a food texture you can’t stand?
Name your favorite famous person who shares part of your name. If that is too revealing, name the category of famous person.
Famous person you wished did not share part of your name? Again, if that’s too revealing just list the category.
What author surprised you the most?
