Blog Award Tag

My lovely friend over at http://touchesofeuphoria.blogspot.com/ nominated me to do this. Thanks, Elf!

 Here are the award rules, copied from her blog 1. Thank the blogger who nominated you and link to their blog. 2. Answer the questions that the blogger who nominated you has provided. 3. Nominate four other bloggers. 4. Create ten questions for your nominees and notify them of their nomination. (I'm breaking this rule a bit - I'll ask just four questions rather than ten.)

1. What's your favorite season, and why?

Although I love cold, snow, rain, wind, storms, grey skies, and clouds, fall wins over winter and here's why.
a) It's super short. At least for Colorado it is - October is basically the fall month of the mountains. I relish every moment of it, and it vanishes as quickly as a perfect sunset.
b) Things FINALLY start getting cold.
c) The golden orange creeps down the mountains until they're covered in its brightness. Every day a tree turns from grasshopper to lemon to flame to orange to russet to red to chestnut and to earth brown. The colors, the colors! It's so beautiful it hurts.
d) Pumpkin flavored EVERYTHING.
e) It's only three months till Christmas! Time to start singing the old tunes! (*everyone else groans*)
f) Eggnog.
g) Leaves dancing, laughing, and playing in the wind, crunching underfoot, covering the ground like little prophets of snow.
h) Sweaters, coats, scarves, mittens, muffs, scarves, hats, and scarves. 
i) That cozy, spicy, stay-indoors-with-a-mug-of-tea-and-do-nothing feeling...

2. If you could pick a different time era or decade to visit, which would you choose?
Definitely the time of Christ. 
I don't know what I'd do, exactly. I'm not internally bleeding or possessed. I already ask him to heal and help people every day. I chat with him all the time; what would I have to say? Maybe I'd just awkwardly stand there. It doesn't matter. The chance to be near him, the very idea of being so close to him would totally blow my mind. Aside from being saved in the first place, nothing could feel better. To hear his voice for real, to see the total holiness and total humanness in his eyes - wouldn't pass it up for any other time on earth. 

3) Can you write me one short story prompt? It doesn't have to be long; just a sentance.
Nathan woke up on the roof of the Empire State Building. He sat up, yawning, rubbed his face, and looked down at the ground a staggering thousand feet below. "Ugh," he sighed. "Not again."

Thanks again for tagging me, this was lots of fun!

If you like, answer these questions and then let me know!

1. If you could go anywhere in the world, for however long you wanted, for free, and bring one person, where would you go and who would you bring?

2. If you could go to any fictional place in any fictional world and bring one person, where would you go and who would you bring?

3. Pretend you've never heard of [fictional or real person here]. One day you sit next to them on a train for several hours. What do you suppose they'd think of you, and what would you think of them?

4. What's your favorite season and why?

Thanks and love,
Bronze
