Just for fun, welcome to a new kind of blog fest,
thanks to Sarah Foster at the Faux Fountain Pen! To meet more Muses/Characters
and their partners, click on the Faux Fountain link…
1. Who is your muse (or character)?
Tell us a little bit about him/her and why you brought them.
 |
| Pern, and Ruth |
My muse likes to play around with her name. Sometimes it’s
Pooh, because we both love him and she likes to steal other people’s names. Sometimes
it’s Charlotte after our favorite spider. Sometimes it’s Pern because that’s
the name of one of our favorite (literary) planets and is always an inspiration
to both of us. Sometimes it’s Ruth, because it was my grandmother’s name, and
the name of the only white dragon on Pern and we both have a soft spot for those
two.
2. What are you guys wearing?
Dressing up or keeping it casual?
Well, Pern, or Pooh, says her favorite attire is long and most-times
white, resembling a Greek goddess robe with gold trinkets to finish the look. I’ll
be wearing a sleeveless long white-to-pink sun dress because this time of year,
it’s just too hot to wear pants!

| Yum, confit de canard! |
3. It's a potluck! Did you bring
something yummy?
My fav! Charlotte suggested we bring Confit de Canard with Pommes
Frites, as she knows it’s my favorite meal of all time. This is duck marinated in
its own fat for a long time, served with very thin “French” fries. We figured
someone else would bring a salad!
4. Open bar! What are you both
drinking (booze or otherwise)?
 |
| Bubbly is a must |
Open bar! Ruth and I will have champagne, thank
you, to celebrate this wonderful festive idea. Plus, I know my muse and her
drink of preference is champagne. I’ve heard a lot of muses like champagne…
5. Wallflowers or social
butterflies?
Pooh is much more social than I am, but I get by. I don’t
like to let myself be too introverted at special activities, and Pooh is good
at reminding me to “let myself go” especially when she knows I’ll be meeting
new and interesting people.
6. What song(s) will you and your
muse sing for karaoke?
Oh, I think we will be sappy and sing “I Hope You Dance,”
and then perhaps something more upbeat, like Elton John’s “Saturday Night’s All
Right.” I assume there will be dancing?
7. What's your favorite party game?
That’s an easy one. Twister, though if we’re going to play
games, I might have to re-think the long dress idea...
 |
| What fun... |
8. Which one of you is more likely
to end up dancing on a table top?
Me, I think. Well, then again my muse might beat me too it
as she’s even more of an alcohol wimp than I am.
9. Has your muse been a good date and would you ever hang out with them again?
9. Has your muse been a good date and would you ever hang out with them again?
Yes, Pern is always amazing. But I expect nothing less. I
can’t believe the things she comes up with sometimes, but they are almost
always just what I need to hear/see/understand. I like having my muse around,
which is good because I’d be lost without her and her imagination…
Thanks Sarah, for throwing this “Muse Fest” and inviting us to
come.
