Long-Overdue Meme

July 4, 2011 By: Sparkle Cat44 Comments

Eons ago, Mr. Puddy tagged me in a meme, but I was so wrapped up in all my birthday festivities that I’ve only gotten around to doing it now! So here goes.

1. Do I think I am HOT?

I'm rather insulted anyone needs to ask.

What a silly question! What do you think?

2. Upload a picture or wallpaper I am using.

It was also a calendar photo from, I think, 2009.

Since I’m a cat, I don’t do wallpaper (unless it’s the kind you can shred). But back when my human had a Helio Ocean device (“don’t call it a phone”), this was the background photo she used.

3. When was the last time I ate chicken?

Empty? Already!?

Alas, it was on my birthday! I’ve had chicken-flavored cat food since then, but no actual chicken.

4. The song I listened to most recently?

Oh, you seriously don’t want to know. My human was a rock journalist back in the day, and her favorite music to cover was the loudest, most offensive hard and alternative rock you can possibly imagine. Definitely not family-friendly stuff! But she still subjects me to it periodically. If you are still curious and have not been warned away, this video from The Cows will probably scar you for life.

Maybe this is why the Fourth of July fireworks have not been bothering any of us!

5. What am I thinking while I am doing this?

My first Kindle check from Amazon was $19.75.

What can I do to sell more Kindle copies of my book? Seriously, I think about that a lot.

6. Do I have nicknames?

I don’t, really, although my human is fond of picking me up against my will. Then, when I complain, she says (loudly), “Why do you hate me?” Sheesh.

I really like the last part that involves tagging eight blogging friends and answering questions about them, but I think pretty much everyone I know has done this meme already! Happy Fourth!

    Wow. You actually stumped my mom. She’d never heard of the Cows, but we’re going to venture a guess that your mom has heard of my mom’s brother’s old band, The Mentors.

    Great post, Sparkle.

    Sparkle I so enjoyed learning more about you and your Mom!

    Has your Mom ever heard of Jane Scott? With what your Mom did in a previous life she might have heard of her. Jane was dubbed at one time “America’s Oldest Teenager”….she was a music journalist for Ohio’s largest newspaper (The Plain Dealer) for forever!!! If your Mom never heard of her she should Google her……interesting stuff!

    My Mom worked there too for 21 and a half years. My Mom’s Dad was a Political Cartoonist there for 30 yrs (Ray Osrin)…..

    We also are friends with Michael Heaton (his sister is Patty Heaton from “Everybody Loves Raymond” and “The Middle”) at The Plain Dealer they used to call him “The Minister Of Culture”…..

    I love learning fun stuff about my friends!
    Love, Cody

    Don’t feel bad, Sparkle, we got tagged for a meme too, a few weeks ago, and the mom can’t remember who tagged us or even which meme. LOL.

    Have a fun and safe 4th of July! Surely a holiday means extra food for you all, maybe real chicken?

    Ha..Ha.. I like the good thing of the music you has been listening : )
    I think your human can get along so well with my dad. That’s a type of my dad favorite music too, and of course, Have to turn it loud till Max. Till the rest of family almost turn deaf. Finally he have to get the ear phone so the rest of family can have peace and he can enjoy his world.

    Happy 4Th to you
    xoxo
