If You Were a Monster Hunter, What Monsters Would You Hunt?

Copyright (c) 123RF Stock Photos

If you were a monster hunter, what monsters would you want to hunt?

I started a new novel - a steampunk paranormal - two days ago and the MMC is a monster hunter. I'm still trying to figure out which creatures he's going to hunt. I've already decided against vampires (although they will be mentioned as not existing in this world) and zombies. There will be Amarok or Amagup and a horde of Frankenstein monsters (except they won't exactly be from Frankensten). But I would like to add another creature or two to the mix.

Question of the Week - Least Favorite Things

Copyright (c) 123RF Stock Photos
What is your least favorite book? Movie? Restaurant?

 Ethan Frome. I had to read it for school. Took me countess times to get past the first page. Then it took me countless times to get past the first chapter. I just could not get into this story.

Slapstick comedies. Any of them. I just don't find them funny.

Denny's. After an awful experience when the food was just awful for not just me but my entire family. Just about everyone in the restaurant complained to the manager that night and everyone got dessert for free. Still didn't make up for the disgusting food though and I haven't gone back to Denny's since.

Question of the Week - Favorite Superheroes

Copyright (c) 123RF Stock Photos
Follow-up question from last week: Who is your favorite superhero and why? Can be from movies or books or comics.

Mine would probably be Thor. Loved the movie. It really exceeded my expectations. Why? Because he started out as an antihero and developed into a kick ass hero.

If you could create a superhero, what would your superhero be able to do? Would he be an alien like Superman? Have special powers like Spiderman? Be really rich and have super cool gadgets like Iron Man and Batman? Or would you create a superheroine?

Do you like to exercise?

I'm an oddball - I do. I enjoy exercising. Right now, hubby and I are doing Insanity - a hardcore cardio workout program that lasts for two months. It's tough but fun.

Question of the Week - Punishment

Copyright (c) 123RF Stock Photos
Would you rather spend the rest of your life in prison or be executed?

Probably executed.
I took a personality quiz that asked which Disney villain did you hate the most. My answer, Maleficent, meant that I can't stand being controlled, to have my freedom stripped. Which is true and I guess that's why I would pick execution.

Would you like to know the day you’re going to die ahead of time? Why or why not?
I don't think I want to know. I would obsess about it and not enjoying what time I have left.

Question of the Week - Doors

Copyright (c) 123RF Stock Photos
What did you sleep with your bedroom door open or closed? What about your closet door?
 We sleep with both closed. For some reason, it makes me feel safer. Why I don't know. It's not as if a closed door will keep a killer out.

I love football and am a diehard Eagles fan. I also root for the Flyers, Sixers, and Yankees, although if the Yankees are out, I pull for the Phillies.

Question of the Week - What would you save?

What would you save if your house was on fire?
If my house was on fire, I would make sure my family was safe and then probably not go back in for anything. If I was certain no one would get hurt, I might grab important papers and my hard drive.

Question of the Week - Survival

Copyright (c) 123RF Stock Photos
This week's questions is brought to you by the Hunger Games. Just how far are you willing to go to survive?

I don't think I could kill someone else to survive. I like to think that I would volunteer to take my sisters pace if their names had been called although I probably would have been the first one killed.

Question of the Week - What did you want to be when you grew up?

Copyright (c) 123RF Stock Photos
When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

I wanted to be a writer, an actress, a model, a paleontologist, a lawyer, a mommy, President of the US. Guess I didn't do to bad considering that I'm a writer and a mommy (and a chemist).

Question of the Week - Crimes

Copyright (c) 123RF Stock Photos

If you could commit a crime with the guarantee that you wouldn't get caught, what crime would you commit?

Honestly, being a Catholic, I'm not sure I could live with the guilt of committing a crime.
