I want to thank the excellent R.L. Terry for nominating me for my tenth Liebster Award. His site is so thorough and descriptive so if you haven’t read it, get your ass over there. I love getting these awards as they are from so many talented people and their feedback on my blog is stellar. Now to begin my award acceptance by answering the questions set for me.
R.L. Terry’s Questions:
- What are your top five favorite movies?At number five: Goldfinger, at number 4: Stand by Me, at number three :The Lord of the Rings trilogy, at number 2: The Lion King and at number one: The Godfather
- Select your top two favorite movies; why are they so special to you? Well as I mentioned in the last question, The Lion King and The Godfather. The Lion King because it was one of the first movies I ever saw and The Godfather because it is for me a perfect film in every way.
- Why did you start blogging? It was originally part of a college project that I decided to stick at and I’m so happy I did.
- What is your favorite theme park and/or attraction, and why? Universal Studios in Florida because it was the most mind-blowing experience for me as a seven-year old.
- What are your top five favorite television (or the equivalent) shows? Charmed, Buffy, White Collar, Desperate Housewives and Lost.
- If money were no object, where would you like to go on your next vacation? A world cruise.
- What is your spirit animal, and why do you identify with that one? I’d say the panther because it symbolizes how protective and loyal I am.
- Which Golden Girl are you, and why? Dorothy because I try to be as talented as I can with things.
- Who is your favorite vocal artist and why? If I had to choose, it would be Frank Sinatra. He just embodied the cool demeanor of a class act.
- What is your favorite Broadway musical? Chicago, it has everything that’s good about a musical
- What is your dream car? An Aston Martin.
I’ve changed the rules slightly and decided to nominate five bloggers, because it was too hard to select eleven out of all the amazing blogs that I read on a regular basis.
Here are my five nominees:
And now for my questions for my nominees:
- What do you find most beneficial about being a blogger?
- What are your views on nudism?
- Have you ever gone to see a movie that you were too young to watch at the time?
- If you could date a Hollywood star, who would it be?
- If you were the supreme ruler of a country, what would be the first law you would pass?
- What do you consider to be the best thing about your blog?
- Do you believe in the supernatural or paranormal?
- Where is your dream destination for a holiday?
- What is the first horror movie you recall viewing?
- If you had a magic power, what would it be?
- And finally, what do you believe the future holds for you?

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions! We definitely have some things in common. I also started my blog as a result of a project in a multimedia journalism grad class I took. I live in Tampa, so I’m close to all the central Florida theme parks; and Universal is definitely my favorite as well (not that I don’t equally frequent Disney, SeaWorld, and Busch Gardens; the beauty of being a resident in this area and Passholder). I’m definitely Dorothy! Though I wish I were a Blanche sometimes–make that many times. Lol.

As requested, here are my answers to your questions. Maybe not that witty though…
1) As well as keeping my mind active after Retirement, it has enabled me to ‘meet’ people of all types and ages, from places around the world that I could never hope to visit.
2) Most nudists I have seen are people who I would never normally want to look at naked. (Or even clothed) I reckon that Nudism should be restricted to a certain age group, (say 16-50) and should also be only allowed for females. (Don’t attack me, Nudists, I’m only joshing.) On a serious note, they can do what they like in a private place, as long as I don’t have to look at them, or join in with them.
3) When I was 15, I looked old enough to get into any ‘X’ film, so did that all the time. (They are called ’18’ films now.)
4) If it has to be a current one, probably Salma Hayek. Unless Catherine Deneuve still qualifies!
5) Don’t do as I do, do as I say. That should cover most things nicely…
6) Honesty and loyalty. (That’s two things. So, Honesty.).
7) Not completely, but I am convinced there is extra-terrestrial life somewhere.
8) A place full of history, with good wine. That’s probably Italy then.
9) The 1931 film version of ‘Frankenstein’, watched on a home projector in a friend’s house.
10) Invisibility of course. Imagine the benefits!
11) Something I have discovered in 63 years, is that we have no idea what the future holds, from one day to the next. One thing I can guarantee, is that for me at least, it won’t be very long.
Cheers, Pete.

Thanks Alex. I find the support and comments are one of the most beneficial things about blogging, because I look a bit older I got in to see Jeepers Creepers, I’d date Natalie Portman, I consider my use of description the best thing about my blog. And for the bonus question, it would depend on the movie.

What do you find most beneficial about being a blogger?
The opportunity to write about things that interest me and the community of friends 🙂
What are your views on nudism?
Each to their own! Not for me!
Have you ever gone to see a movie that you were too young to watch at the time?
My friends and I watched A Clockwork Orange when we were 12/13 in our local fleapit that NEVER asked for ID.
If you could date a Hollywood star, who would it be?
Nicholas Hoult would be nice.
If you were the supreme ruler of a country, what would be the first law you would pass?
No paying tax on second jobs or bonuses, no inheritence tax, bedroom tax etc. Just ONE tax for everyone. And I’d make Google, Amazon etc pay THEIR taxes!
What do you consider to be the best thing about your blog?
The people who read and comment 🙂
Do you believe in the supernatural or paranormal?
Kind of. I definitely believe there is more to life than meets the eye but I’m not sure what exactly.
Where is your dream destination for a holiday?
Those Bora Bora huts that sit in the ocean. OMG!
What is the first horror movie you recall viewing?
Friday the 13th
If you had a magic power, what would it be?
Invisibility or flying? One of the good ones!
And finally, what do you believe the future holds for you?
I really don’t know 🙂
