Favorite Season?
Fall, followed by spring as a close second. I'm a very moderate to slightly cold weather person. If I could have Hawaii weather follow me around wherever I was, I'd be the happiest person.
Least favorite season?
Summer. In August. Like, exactly right now as I'm writing this.
But grateful for my highly refrigerated office, and the knowledge that the weather's only going to get better from here on out.
Favorite Singer?
Out of all singers, male or female, I would have to say...Tarkan. He's a pop star from Turkey, and I really like his work. His album 'Karma' which came out when my kids were little, was one of the inspirations that got me writing my novel.
Also, Josh Groban is a close second (I discovered them both at the exact same time, in the bookstore in 2001, on a date with hubby), but not quite as...shall we say...muscular? He's more for my mellow moods - his album 'Closer' is still my all-time favorite of his.
I can't always watch the videos Tarkan puts out, but I love his songs and his voice. Both of them, really. I just like to listen. Together, they're my Elvis.
Least favorite singer?
This guy.
I cannot explain him. He has to be experienced in order for you to understand. Maybe it's better near the end; I don't know. I've never been able to get past the lizard-like tongue-flicking part...
Favorite Song?
Today? It changes quite frequently. Today, this moment, it's this:
Least favorite song?
Again, shifts quite often. Actually, it doesn't. All-time worst song ever, probably forever:
Favorite Sport?
I used to really love competitive ice-skating (watching it, that is.) Can't skate well enough to stay standing long.
Now, I love martial arts - I loved practicing it, when I did. When it's really well done, it's more of an art form than a sport though, at least the way I enjoy it.
Can I say dodgeball?
Least favorite sport?
Football. Cannot get into anything about it. Can't talk about it with any sort of semblance of understanding at office parties. Forever an outsider on that one.
Favorite Style of Music?
I love a lot of different genres. I guess pop and folk overall, with a little bit of rock thrown in, depending on my mood.
I actually don't listen to a lot of American pop music anymore - ever since Paul Simon's 'Graceland' album, I've been mostly going to other countries for their pop music, which was how I found Tarkan, and that weird Russian guy mentioned earlier (Sweden and Norway have some equally weird stuff), and Bollywood music, and Kpop and rock and African music. If you only listen to American pop music, I say you are missing out big time. So much good stuff out there.
Least favorite style of music?
Country music. Hands down.
Favorite Tree?
Those big sweeping moss-covered trees they have down in Florida and in the swamps. The ones with branches that grow out to touch the ground, that you can just walk into if you want to climb them.
Least favorite tree?
Hackberry - they're cheap junk trees. They automatically fall down after a certain point and make a mess.
When we moved into our current house, we had this huge hackberry tree in our yard - must have been 30-50 feet tall. Glorious.
One month and one microburst wind storm later, we had a hefalacious mess to clean up in our backyard, and our neighbor's yard. I'm just glad it didn't fall on our brand-new house we were just paying for.
Favorite TV Program?
Right now, it's Poldark. Cannot wait for the next season!
Least favorite TV program?
Supergirl. That show is so, so incredibly grating. Maybe it's just the DC universe - they can't seem to get their act together and make decent programming (Wonder Woman being the notable exception).
Favorite Vegetable?
Onion. I think I eat it in almost everything I cook.
Least favorite vegetable?
Leeks. Too hard to clean.
