Meme: Five Questions

I was tagged by one of my favorite bloggers. He’s prolific, generous, kind, intelligent, and the list goes on. Yep, I’m talking about everyone’s favorite amphibian, Sumurai Frog. The challenge was to answer 5 random questions, and here are my answers.

1. What is one place in your home country you'd like to visit but never have?
I’d love to visit Hawaii and learn more about the local culture.

2. What are your favorite smells?
I love the smell of pancakes, eggs, bacon, and other foods in the morning. There’s no better way to start the morning than by flooding one’s olfactory system with these wonderful odors. I also think the smell of a moderate amount of male sweat is attractive. Oh, some men just smell so good! I’m actually going write about this topic in the future.

3. What is a book that affected you deeply as a child?
I used to love the Hardy Boys. However, I’ve always enjoyed reading nonfiction books. I was particularly fascinated by European history and culture. I was a strange little boy.

4. Why will America never embrace soccer?
You know, I honestly have no idea. It’s just an American thing, I guess. We have a very distinct sports culture in this country that is undeniably American.

5. Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf?
Ok, let me just say that I love Elizabeth Taylor. She delivered an amazing performance as Martha in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf. I really have to see this film again. I regret not seeing the Broadway production in 2004. I believe Kathleen Turner played Martha. She must have been sensational.

Anyway, thanks for thinking of me, Samurai Frog. :)

Oh I am so glad this wonderful post came to accompany your new blog design! Thank you for this wonderful insight.

I have to agree on the man sweat thing. Though I do find it peculiar that the better-looking the man, generally the better his sweat smells.

And how fascinating that you read the Hardy boys, for I was neck-deep in Nancy Drew novels when I was a young snippet.

Fabulous all around!

I also read the Hardy Boys. They were a bit queer, looking back.

Bacon is great in the morning, but I hate the smell of non-breakfast foods cooking when I first wake up.

Great answers! I'm glad you did it.

2. I know what you mean about the sweat. I kind of have this idea of what Christian Bale smells like that I'm not going to go into detail on right now...

3. Not strange at all. European history is fascinating. I read this same book about the English kings seven or eight times as a kid.

5. Who doesn't love Liz Taylor? I've got her pegged with Garbo as the greatest actresses ever. Then Kate Hepburn.

Thanks for your kind words, Ms. Place. I truly appreciate your support. :)

Jinxy, I'm glad you like the new design. Yeah, I was all about the Hardy Boys as a boy, but I also liked Nancy Drew.

Gayprof, yeah, the Hardy Boys were a bit queer. LOL. Maybe that's why I liked them so much.

Samurai Frog, don't get me started about Christian Bale. The man is hot! You know, we have so much in common. Thanks for tagging me. :)
