I've been tagged!

This has never happened, but it is exciting ha! I feel connected. I have one, maybe three readers at the moment, so it's unlikely I can find four people to answer four new questions, but I'll definitely play along by answering the Ice Queen's queries... yay!

Question #1 If you could eat any food at all for 24 hours without gaining weight, what would it be?

Hmmmm, ANY food?? If it can count as 1 food, it would probably be French baguette with balsamic vinegar and olive oil: a pure and simple pleasure. However, if that doesn't count as a single thing, I am sure fettuccini carbonara does, and that would be my second choice!

Question #2 Briefly describe how you would re-write the life experience of your favourite character in a book or movie.

I would re-write part of Catcher in the Rye for my precious sociopath Holden Caulfield. In one part that I found rather anti-climactic, though all of Salinger's stories are more character-development-based rather than plot-based, Holden gets very close to having a sexual encounter with a prostitute if I remember correctly (though I barely remember the details of even my favourite books). I would have him sleep with that woman and then proceed to behave as strangely after. It would add a layer of depth that I find lacking in that particular book. His other characters are so much meatier!

Question #3 What female family member has had the biggest positive influence on you and what was the most meaningful advice she gave you?

Well, my mother is clearly the most wonderful and influential person in my life, but for the purposes of this question, I would say my grandma. Since moving to the city where my dad grew up, I've had a chance to get closer to her. I've realized I am very much like her and she has a dry, dark humour that I adore. Everyone else in my family is almost painfully sweet, but she has an edge, even as a true, churchgoer and loving mother. Recently, she was complaining that the neighbour keeps trying to set her up on a "play date" with this old lady (they're the same age but my grandma acts/looks/thinks wayyyyyy younger than most her age), and she said, in French "I have enough friends, it's not my job to be friends with everyone." I realized she's just like me. We're both one part anti-social and one part people lover.

Question #4 If your blog were eaten by cyber roaches and gone for good, what would you do different in your new blog?

I would invest more time into writing more deep and meaningful things, and less about only what I eat and weigh. I needed friends to read it at first, but now I wish I had an anonymous blog through which to express the deeper things I cannot say "out loud". I would also post more creative writing, assuming it would now be an anonymous blog.

Thanks Erika, this was fun! Unfortunately,the trail ends here for me since I have no followers that are actually following anymore hahaha!
