The Heaven Eleven Meme
Cheers to all of us thieves!
1. If you could live in any other time period, which would you pick? I'd love to have come of age in the 1960s. The Kennedys, The Beatles, political idealism ... and prevalent air conditioning.
2. What is your favorite topic to write on your blog other than a meme? According to the tags, it's movies.
3. What are some traits that you admire in a lover? Generosity of spirit and a sense of fun. And good hair.
4. Could you adjust to life in another country? If I wanted to ... which I don't.
5. If you could study anything, what would it be? I'm trying to teach myself Spanish. I suck at it, but I continue anyway.
6. What is your favorite possession that cost less than $15? My Hollywood snowglobe, a gift from my best friend.
7. Which color do you wear most often? Blue
8. What has been your “theme song”, or favorite song this summer? "Amy, Amy, Amy," that wise and funny exploration of how helpless we gals are against good old-fashioned lust, by the late, great Amy Winehouse.
9. What's the most romantic thing that's ever been said to you? That when Bob Dylan wrote "Emotionally Yours," he could have been writing how my then-boyfriend felt about me. I like this version by the O'Jays better.
10. What would be your dream birthday cake? Chocolate with vanilla frosting and milk chocolate on top.
11. What is the coolest thing you’ve ever done? Kissed Bruce Springsteen.
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
Your coolest thing trumps my coolest thing.
ReplyDeleteThe 60's in suburbia were a fun time.
