I like...

I'm not sure where I found this a while back - possible on Facebook - but the rule is to type in your first name into a google search along with the word "likes".  Then, write down the 10 things that appear within the results.

Here's my list:

Ashlie* likes to:

...spend some of her free time at the Philadelphia Museum of Art [never been there]
...say “I don’t like to waste any time and used all available resources...” [don't recall ever saying it, but I could totally see myself saying this]
...wash down exotic sushi [HELL YA!]
...get down [♫ I came to get down. I came to get down. So get out of your seats and jump around. Jump around. ♫ Dammit - now that song will be stuck in my head all day!!]
...write poems [Does Haiku Friday count?]
...go flying in her hot air balloon [I have a hot air balloon?!  Cool.  Where is it?]
...sky dive, ski and play outside [Never sky dived. although it is on my bucket list.  I DON'T ski - ick, hate the snow.  I DO love to play outside - when it's nice out.]
...get lost in a good book [Ding, ding, ding!  We have a winner!  This is definitely me.]
...surf the web and read Korean novels [You had me at surf the web - hello, I'm a paid web researcher.  The Koren novels?  Not so much]
...play poker [Yep, that's me...although I suck at pocket aces!]

Wanna play along? 

Either leave your list in the comments or the link to your own post.

*For the record, I didn't use Ashlie.  I used my real name.  Just thought you should know in case you try to play bullshit with me and type in "Ashlie likes".  You will not get the same results.  I think BusyDad might just be the only blogger to know my real first name.  And he won't tell unless you buy him a bunch of Newcastles and Jack.  Seriously, though.  I'm on the fence about sharing my true identity.  Most of my family knows about Mommycosm at this point - the only last concern is stalkers - and I don't think I'm all that stalker-worthy.  Thoughts?

Oh, yeah! I can agree with you on the reading thing! :)

Stalker’s aside, the most important question is, will exposing your true identity affect the way you write? Ironically, having a nom-de-plume sometimes affords a writer greater latitude in providing personal reflection. Would Clark Kent have the same impact at the Daily Planet if his true identity is exposed?

Will the ‘cosm depth be the same? Only you can answer that!

Good Luck!

I use my real name on my Scribblings blog (and occasionally on Dennis's Diary of Destruction) but that's because I'm also hoping to interest people in my books and I can't do that if I don't use my real name. I haven't been stalked yet, but I'm probably not all that stalker-worthy either.

Isn't liking snow a prerequisite for living in New England? Or at least tolerating lots and lots and lots of it? And I ain't that easy. Unless by a "bunch" you mean like a palette's worth. I do have my morals.
