Into the Fire

Passionate thoughts about the world of writing and the Power of God

Hawaii or Alaska. Or neither or both? (Hawaii)

Water or snow skiing. Or neither or both? (Neither)

The forest or the country. Or neither or both? (Both)

Favorite color of hair? On men? On women? (Blonde for me, dark for men but blonde’s okay too, any on women)

Steak or Hamburgers. Or neither or both? (Steak)

Lobster or Salmon. Or neither or both? (Both)

Bookmarks, turned down page corners, a spare piece of paper to mark your place. All, none, or what? (Bookmarks)

CSIs, NCIS, Law and Order(s), or The Office. None, all, or some? (Love all the CSIs, NCIS, watch the Law and Order(s) when the others have reruns. Don’t watch The Office)

Johnny Depp or who else is there? No contest!

Lord, thank you for fun, for laughs, for the desire to enjoy life. You are gracious, and I am grateful always in the Name of Jesus.

    Can I say autumn mountains.
    Hawaii – Alaska’s beautiful, but Hawaii’s got mountains too.
    Water skiing is incredibly boring. I’d love to try snow skiing.
    To me, the forest is the country so both.
    I’m a brunette guy and I don’t care about men.
    french fries, except with steaks, then it’s baked.
    Steak.
    I’ve never eaten lobster or salmon so I’ll answer goggle eye perch, bass, and crabs.
    guitar
    listening except when I’m playing in church.
    Hanks
    I don’t get teh whole knightley thing. So, Russell.
    Rock.
    sneakers for me.
    I don’t notice what shoes women are wearing.
    polo style for me.
    Women can wear anything.
    Shorts for me.
    Women can wear anything.
    Will Smith. I don’t get the whole Russel Crowe thing either.
    I don’t get the whole Jennifer Garner thing either. Connelly for me(because she’s a brunette.) Okay, I like Anniston too.
    I use a folded post it note.
    I don’t watch any of those shows.
    Sandra Bullock for me.

    Snowy Mountains. Or sunny mountains. I also like the beach, but being a Colorado girl, I have more experience with the mountains. The best is when there is snow on the ground, but the sun is shining and it’s June. I’ve only been to the beach three times.
    Alaska
    Neither type of skiing.
    I love both forest and country. You mean like farm land? Love it!
    I like brunette for men or women. I also like auburn on women.
    I like any kind of potato you can give me.
    Hamburgers, but I like stead occasionally, if it’s really good.
    Salmon. Never could get the lobster thing, even though I love seafood.
    I love guitar and piano. Probably prefer guitar just a tad.
    I would love to play music, but since I can’t, I listen.
    Tom Hanks, definitely. No question.
    Don’t really have a preference with the girls. Not sure who Kiera Knightley even is.
    Rock and Jazz, but only certain kinds of each.
    I’m not a guy, but I like to see a guy in cowboy boots.
    I like both kinds of shoes. I seldom wear sneakers, (I call them tennis shoes), but I do wear casual shoes more often than dressy.
    I like exotic type blouses, tunics, etc. But I also love sweaters.
    I generally wear jeans.
    Probably Will Smith.
    I don’t know who Jennifer Connelly is and I don’t like Jennifer Aniston. Jennifer Garner is ok.
    To mark my book, I just grab whatever is nearby or dogear, if it’s my own copy.
    The Office. I used to watch the others regularly, but became too disgusted by the depravity of man to watch anymore. My heart just broke every episode and I had to quit.
    Johnny Depp. In fact I almost answered your Tom question with Johnny.
    And I love weird Tim Burton movies! Whether they have Johnny in them or not.

    That’s right–you’re a huge Sandra Bullock fan. Thanks for participating, Dayle. No lobster or salmon? You need to come my way and have some fresh salmon.

    Kay, I say tennis shoes, too. I was trying to be PC I guess. 🙂
    Jennifer Connelly was in “A Beautiful Mind” with Russell Crowe (and some other films I can’t think of right now).
    I agree about some of the CSI episodes for sure, but the forensic science fascinates me. I know: sick.
    Keira Knightley was Elizabeth Swan in “Pirates of the Caribbean”. She’s also starring in the new highly acclaimed film “Atonement”, and she was in “Pride and Prejudice”.

    Ok, I saw a Beautiful Mind.
    And ok, on Kiera Knightly. I liked her in Pirates. I haven’t seen the others.
    I love the forensic stuff, too. I love science and blood, etc doesn’t bother me at all. Just the wickedness bothered me.
    My mom is ok. they had to use the defibrilator to get her regulated, about 30 minutes ago, so she is groggy from the drugs they gave her.
    Thanks for praying for her.
