Tagged by MEME (Thanx Gator!)

I’ve been gotten. I don’t usually play along with these things but Gator tagged me and I thought WTH. This is an Unspectacular Meme. Here’s the details:First, the rules:1) Link to the person that tagged you. 2) Post the rules on your blog. 3) List six unspectacular quirks you have. 4) Tag six bloggers by linking them. 5) Leave a comment on each person's blog to let them know they've been tagged.

Six unspectacular things about me. Huh. This is hard

1. I’m a total research freak. I absolutely hate to find mistakes in books—mine or any one else’s. I know I’m not perfect. I’m sure people who know more than I do find mistakes in my books, but I try my hardest to make sure the little things are accurate. This doesn’t negate the creative license thing.

2. Gator listed one of her things as having a theme song for each of her books. Doesn’t everyone? I have an entire soundtrack for each book and these are played on a continuous loop. I can’t work unless there is music playing.

3. I LOVE Dr. Seuss. LOVE LOVE LOVE! At one time I had an entire collection of books but a flood destroyed them all. I’ve been trying to build the collection back up but its been slow going. When I was an EMT I did a tutoring session with a guy who was desperate to pass. At the end of the term, when he “graduated” he gave me a littlke book called Dr. Suessisms. Little quotes about every day things—Like Respecting your Elders: I Will NOT Hop on Pop…

4. I love classic films. Anything with Katherine Hepburn I just adore. Watching her be a total ditz and playing off Cary Grant’s stuffy David Huxley in Bringing Up Baby is just a hoot. But it’s not just Katherine I adore. Most all of the old comedies are in the bag for me. I also love the old horror films. Give me Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, or Lon Chaney (and LC Jr.) any day!

5. I’ve had many jobs over my life time: Security Guard, Security Guard Supervisor, Waitress, bus girl, prep cook, dishwasher, asst manager in a clothing store, Babysitter, Emergency Medical Technician, and EMT Lieutenant (and training officer) Stay at home mom, and author. My three favorite jobs in order of faves: 1) Stay at home mom 2) EMT 3) Author

6. I go through yearly phases in my reading. At one time I was majorly into Pre-Civial and Civil War period—I purchased and read everything I could get my hands on both factual and fiction. I also never throw anything away so I have a library that includes Nazi Germany and WWII, Knights Templar, Celtic history, Native American history, Magic/Witchcraft/Wizardry, Guns and Ammunitions, most any subject you can imagine. Comes in handy for myself or when my kids needed stuff for school work.
