You Look Mahhvelous, Liebster!

Woohoo!  My friend Steampunk Addie has nominated me for the Liebster Award!  It's a way for bloggers to share the love and link together.

She tells me that Liebster means sweetheart, darling, or beloved in German.  Well, I think you're pretty sweet too my friend.  So much so that the only blog I would have to nominate is, well, yours.  Ha!  (Dear readers, if you have a blog and want to play along, let me know.)

So, I will simply endeavor to answer your questions...

Q: What is your favorite toy ever made?
A. It's funny, I never really thought of the whole wide universe of toys. I really love the technology though... the idea that I can replace my tv, music player, books (well maybe not  *all* of them) with one gadget that fits in my hand and can go with me anywhere?  Epic.

Q. What is your favorite toy you ever had?
A. My grandmother's costume jewelry case.  In fact, I still have it!  I spent HOURS looking at each piece and memorizing every detail... and then wearing it around the house. I might have to wear some today just on principle.

Q. What is your favorite color?
A. Green.. no yellow... no green.   AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!
*sails over the bridge*

Q. What is your favorite scent?
A. Green growing things after a good rain.

Q. What is your favorite moving picture?
A. Mr. Holland's Opus, which reminds us that achievement may have a different definition than we think.

Q. If you could time travel, when and where?
A. So many options!  I think I would travel back 100 years to see my grandparents in their youth.  That means Idaho and Minnesota for me.

Q. If you could meet anyone, living or dead, who?
A. Einstein... I'd love to pick his brain for a while!

Q. What event in history would you change, and why?
A. Slavery? Genocide? Nuclear bombing?  I'm not sure I can choose.  Part of me thinks that all the horrible things the human race has done and experienced over time makes us who we are now, for good, bad, or ugly.  As hard as it is to say, I think we had to do some of those things to learn that we should never, ever do them again.

Q. Are you a geek or a nerd?
A. While I do have a few geeky tendencies, let's face it, I am a nerd! 

Q. What would be your superpower if you could choose?
A. The ability to  manipulate matter, like transfiguring Draco Malfoy into a ferret. *maniacal laugh*  As long as I'm leaning towards magical, let's go all the way because I could use some *accio coffee* too.

Q. What would your supername be?
A. The Transfigulator!  Hmmm... I better get in touch with Edna Mode about my costume.  No capes.
