  1. Cool I loved your answers -- french toast with ketchup? Then again I like peanut butter with everything and I mean everything. I often snack on banana and peanut butter sandwiches :) Thanks for joining in and and having a little fun, Emma :)
    P.S: I would be too scared to cook for Gordon Ramsey!

  2. Thank you for the Nomination! Here are my answers:

    1. If you were going to become an animal what animal would you be?

    I love cats - they're excellent cuddle-buddies, loving (but you have to earn their affection), and have a curious nature. However, I've always been fascinated by birds for their flying abilities. My answer for this question (it's surprising how often in life I'm asked this) constantly changes. There are so many species on this planet, I could hardly choose one to embody.

    2. If you were stranded on an Island what would you definitely have with you?

    A book, or paper and pen to write one. Food, water and shelter might be nice, too. ;-)

    3. If a tree fell in a forest, but no one was there to hear it, did it really fall?

    It depends on if you think Schrodinger's cat is alive or dead. In regard to the tree, I don't think we have enough evidence to determine if there was a tree there at all.

    4.Taken from Emma - Who is your favourite celebrity and what would you bake them?

    I prefer not to idolize, but there was a time when I was really upset, and all I felt like doing was baking cookies for homeless people.

    5. Favourite TV show?

    Currently interested in Sherlock, but I don't watch TV all that much.

    6. If you knew the world was ending tomorrow what would be the one thing you would HAVE to do?

    Make up an unsolvable code to leave for generations and generations to decipher and to be perplexed by, and then after breakfast, I would hike to the top of a mountain with my family and loved ones. Ending the day holding them tight in my arms.

    7. When you were young, what did you want to become? are you that now?

    I wanted to be a mailwoman when I was young. I loved words and handwritten letters, and having the responsibility of delivering those messages of communication to people was so invigorating to me. Today, I still deliver communication, but on a much different level - thank you, Internet. I'm a writer.

    8. Are you a cat person or a dog person?

    Meow.

    9. If you were president for one day, what would you change/do?

    Establish equal marriage rights for all. Pass legislation for the development and education of growing gardens everywhere (front yard, backyard, traffic medians, sidewalk edges, etc). Reorganize the school system. Spread a message of kindness, peace, and nonviolence. Encourage our Country to become more self-sufficient, to take back our culture, and develop meaningful, efficient, and thoughtful new approaches to community.

    10. If you had to eat the same meal everyday for a week what would it be?

    Soup. It's the most versatile meal on the planet.

    11. What is your favourite sweet item?

    Chocolate. ^_^
