Memes

I was visiting The Musings of a Bookish Kitty and she has tagged anyone who would like to participate with these memes. I will do the same. If you are reading these and they seem fun...then TAG you're it!

1. Go to Wikipedia and type in your birthdate, no year.
December 31

2. List 3 important events.
1891- A new immigration depot is opened at Ellis Island, New York.
1983 - The AT & T Bell system is broken up by the United States Government.
1999- The United Stated Government handed Panama Canal control over to Panama.

3. List 2 births.

1937- Anthony Hopkins, Welsh Actor
1959 - Val Kilmer, American Actor

4. List 1 Death.
1997- Floyd Cramer, American Musician (b. 1933)

5. List 1 Holiday or Observance.
Ok, skipping the obvious one here and saying Hogmanay in Scotland. :)


And this one looked particularly fun:

Name up to three characters . . .

1. You wish were real so you could meet them:
Ron Weasley from the Harry Potter Series(J.K. Rowling)

2. You would like to be:
Victoria Gardella from The Rest Falls Away(Colleen Gleason)
Hermione Granger from the Harry
Potter Series(J.K. Rowling)
Kitty from Kitty and the Midnight Hour(not the werewolf part, icky!! but I would love to host her radio show!)(Carrie Vaughn)


3. Who scare you:

I'd like to meet Ron Weasley, too. I'm not a huge fan of Rowling, but I'd love to have tea with Ron and Hagrid. Good choices.

Literary Feline said...

Great responses and I see we have some in common. :-) These memes were a lot of fun.

Amy said...

kookie- I think Ron Weasley is hilarious and such a good friend. I didn't think of Hagrid or else I might have put him too. I also like McGonagall a lot.

LF- We do have a lot in common. I thought they were a lot of fun. The hardest one for me was deciding which ones I would actually want to be. I like a lot of characters...but to be them...hmmm.

Colleen Gleason said...

Amy, I'm so flattered that you picked Victoria as a character you'd like to be!

One of the best compliments I've ever had.

So...if you were Victoria, who would you pick? Rockley, Sebastian, or Max??

booklogged said...

So fun reading your answers. Like Colleen I'd like to know which man you would choose. Now that's a tough question, isn't it?

Amy said...

Booklogged and Colleen- It IS a very tough choice. Let me reason this out...

Hmmm...I would not choose Sebastian at this point because too much of his character is still in question.

Rockley truly loves her but......

I would choose Max. They have so much in common. He knows all of her secrets and the life of a Venator and so far he has always had her back.

Veddddddy interesting, Amy! Thanks for your thoughts.

I'll be interested to know if you change your mind after reading Rises the Night.

*mwahahahaahaaaaaa*

LOL...I am very much looking forward to getting my copy. I just wish it wasn't a month away!
