(Although...yes, I have to admit, it was really, really fun! Can I admit that as a semi-grown-up?)
Nope, I'm talking about the small world of blogs and bloggers and a fun
little time waster known as blog-tagging. My understanding of how blog-tagging
works is you devise some totally trivial questions and then you "tag"
three or four of your most tolerant pals, and they answer the questions
on your website and their own (I think? Or maybe you're just supposed to
answer on your own blog? Anybody?) and then THEY TAG three or four of their
own most tolerant pals, and so on and so on and so on like those shampoo
commercials for wheat germ hair products. (Remember those?)
Anyway, I was tagged by Heather Webber, who writes the Agatha-nominated Nina Quinn series.
So here are the questions, answers to which will not change the
future of the Western World, but might afford you a few moments
entertainment:
