Incoherent Scribblings

I stumbled across this while I was visiting The Stitcher in the Green Bikini and just couldn’t pass it up. First, the rules:

a. Type your answer to each of the questions below into Flickr Search.
b. Using only the first page, pick an image.
c. Copy and paste each of the URLs for the images into fd’s mosaic maker.

The Questions:

1. What is your first name? Renee
2. What is your favorite food? Indian
3. What high school did you go to? Small Town Iowa High
4. What is your favorite color? Blue
5. Who is your celebrity crush? Hugh Laurie
6. Favorite drink? Coke
7. Dream vacation? England or India
8. Favorite dessert? Cheesecake
9. What you want to be when you grow up? Happy
10. What do you love most in life? Four Cats
11. One word to describe you: Independent
12. Your flickr name: blondelibrarian

As usual, I couldn’t be bothered to follow the rules exactly, so here are my differences.
#2 - I had to search for Indian food to actually get a picture of food.
#3 - I had to drop “High” from my search because it didn’t come up with anything useful. I also searched for Small Town, Iowa’s real name, not “Small Town, Iowa”.
#7 - I couldn’t decide which place is more my dream… and besides the setup I chose needed 13 pictures, not 12.
#12 - I searched for blondelibrarian as two words.

1.Renee, 2.Indian (food), 3.Small Town, Iowa, 4.Blue, 5.Hugh Laurie, 6.Coke, 7.England, 8.India, 9.Cheesecake, 10.Happy, 11.Four Cats, 12.Independent, 13.blondelibrarian

Like Anna, I am also an herb… except I’m basil.

You Are Basil

You are quite popular and loved by post people. You have a mild temperament, but your style is definitely distinctive. You are sweet, attractive, and you often smell good.

Hee hee… I was told just this morning (by He-Who-Must-Not-Yet-Be-Named) that I smell good too!

The Rules:
1) You must post the rules on your post before you answer the questions.
2) You need to list one fact about yourself using each letter of your middle name. If you don’t have a middle name use your maiden name instead.
3) When you are finished with your answers, you tag one person for each letter of your name.

C is for Crazy Cat Lady. I think anyone who reads this blog knows by now that I am a crazy cat lady. If you have any doubts, read this post, and this post, and this post.

A is for Alone. As an introvert, I have always liked to be alone and prize my alone time highly. One reason I don’t have children is because the thought of never truly being alone again bothers me more than you can imagine.

R is for Reading. Reading is one of my favorite hobbies. Of course, most people think that since I am a librarian it is only logical. However, while it may be true that I am a bit of a bookworm, my love of reading really has little do with why I became a librarian.

O is for Olee. I have a cat named Olee. (Pronounced O Lee, not Ollie) Olee is as old as Mouse (going on 16) and only has three legs. Olee lives with my mom because when I went away to college I couldn’t have a cat in my dorm room. I offered to take Olee to live with me more than once after I moved out of the dorms but Mom is so attached to her that she wouldn’t let me.

L is for Librarian. Although I always thought being a librarian would be a neat job, it wasn’t until my junior year as an undergraduate that I started thinking about it as a career. I was an English major and I didn’t want to be a teacher. What else could I do?

Y is for Yellow. As a natural blonde, you will never catch me wearing anything that is predominantly yellow. It gives my skin a sickly green tinge.

N is for Novel. I am currently taking a novel writing class and working on my first novel. In case you are wondering, it is about a librarian.

I’m not tagging anyone… well, except maybe Dawn.

…You probably didn’t know about me.

1.) I am a “power sleeper.” I seldom have problems falling or staying asleep. Even when I am not tired I can sleep for 10-12 hours a night. I can even take a nap during the day and still have no problems falling asleep at night!

2.) I have never had the chicken pox. When I was a kid my mom exposed me to them several times and when I was 16 my sister had them quite severely… but I still didn’t get them. Now, because of my age, I am actually afraid of getting them. Note to self: Must look into getting a chicken pox vaccine.

3.) I am allergic to cherries and cherry flavoring. I hadn’t had a major reaction for quite a few years, so the other day I tried my luck. I broke out in hives all up and down my arms. I guess I am still allergic after all…

4.) When I worked at Chain Restaurant ABC 10 years (and about 15lbs) ago, the manager of the local Hooters was eating lunch at our bar one day when I was working and offered me a job. I seriously considered the offer, but I didn’t take it.

5.) There was a warrant for my arrest once. I was supposed to go to a court as a result of an auto accident that I was in. The day I was supposed to appear the judge was on vacation. My court date was rescheduled but I didn’t appear because by that time I had moved out of state.
