What does this mean for you? It means, of course, that if you consider yourself a lurker here on my blog, it's the one day of the year where I beg and plead for you to speak up and say hi and let me know you are here! You can do it!
As in year's past, I have a few questions for you to make commenting easier. I've thrown a couple in that will prove to me if you really ARE a lurker!
Oh, and please, regular nonlurkers are welcome to comment too. In fact, I'll beg and plead for you to participate along with the lurkers, okay? Okay.
Questions:
1. Do you play video games? If so, which ones?
2. Have you been to a rock/music concert? If so, who was your favorite?
3. Twilight fan? Yes or no?
4. Where's the best place you've traveled to?
5. What do you listen to in the car? Music, audio books, radio, nothing? Or other?
Bonus Questions:
6. Who's my favorite author?
7. Who's my favorite singer?
Now, go for it!
1. Not really, but I will on occasion. I love little games like Bejeweled on my phone tho.
ReplyDelete2. The only concert I have EVER been to was BB King. I loved it. I carry the stub in my wallet still!
3.Not a Twilight fan, only read the first, didn't see the movies.
4. Kauai!!!! (Tho Cabo was pretty nice, but the quiet peace of Kauai is appealing to me today.
5. In town I prefer silence. On road trips we listen to the radio. I my husband is driving and it's baseball season, we listen to baseball.

Delete1. No.
ReplyDelete2. Rush. And Sting.
3. No.

6. Marcus Zusak
7. Josh Groban
The first year I did this (two years ago now) everyone was doing it, but since then, I haven't seen it around, which is why I always forget (I think Jan. 12 is the official day) but I think it's a blast, so yep, thus the post. Fun that you saw Maroon 5 back in the day. I think I would really enjoy one of their concerts.

7. Your favorite singer? Josh Groban?
~L
Oh come on! Divulge the reason! :)
Delete1. Ummm ... pretty much only Bejeweled Blitz. And Tetris. The Wii lightsaber game turned out to be a big bust.
ReplyDelete2. Ummm (Oops. That's the second time I've said that) ... hmmm. Most of them have been country. Went to an Extreme concert once which was cool. Eye-opening but cool. IF ONLY I COULD HAVE GONE TO THE A-HA FAREWELL TOUR. Though they might not really count as rock. More New Wave Pop. Or Bon Jovi.
3. Once upon a time yes but no more. Succombed to the overexposure and crowded bookshelf and got rid of them.
4. Either hiking around Tikal in Guatemala or wandering around the Scottish highlands. Tikal for the Star Wars reference and I REALLY wanted Gerard Butler to walk around the corner and protect me from a wild Scottish dog.
5. Totally and completely depends. All of the above at different times.
I cheated and looked at the other comments. Should have remembered, though.
Bonus Questions:
6. Who's my favorite author?
7. Who's my favorite singer?
I would have loved to have seen a-ha back in the day! And the Scottish highlands? Awesome!
DeleteWhoops! How arrogant of me, I thought the last questions were for me. How embarrassing.
ReplyDeleteopps! Seems that I wasn't clear enough on that one because there's been several do the same thing! Oh, well. No worries.

ReplyDelete1. Do the games on my nook count? ;)
2. Yes. Favorites were John Mellencamp and Stevie Nicks.
3. NO! *L*
4. Paris because, well, it's Paris...
