Site of the Week - Living a Quotable Life

Beth describes herself as Global Citizen; she's Texas born and Kenyan raised.

I just finished reading her 100 Factoids - Get To Know Me, You Will and had to include a few here.

19. I am a total sucker for a guy who can sing really, really well. I am also completely smitten with guys who have great accents - particularly those from Great Britain (English, Scottish, Irish, Welsh). You give me a guy who can sing AND has a cute accent and I am completely lost.

33. I absolutely abhor women who talk on their cell phones in public restrooms. I have been known to take away phones from people I know and hang up on whoever they are conversing with at that moment. I am likely to one day do it to a stranger if the trend continues. Nothing is that important. Nothing. If it is - take it outside.

38. I will be the first to tell you if you have spinach in your teeth or if your zipper is down or if you have hair hanging out of your nose and you will love me and appreciate me for it.

66. Globes. Our Earth is so beautiful. I buy them. I collect them. Maps, too.

68. I like to play with matches.

87. Books, movies, and TV shows dealing with the subject of vampires will inevitably draw me in like moth to flame. Not so strange when you realize I have had my nights and days confused since infancy.

88. Golf on TV. I really don't get it. Why do the announcers whisper as someone is taking a shot when they are secluded in a media box somewhere far, far away from where the golfer is located?

I'm a big fan of her Monday Mosaics.

Here's Monday Mosaic #14 Old Friends

And #12 Terra Firma

 

Beth's a great writer, and I asked her to come up with a few Q&A's for this post.

Where do you get all your ideas?

Aliens! Divine Intervention! Who knows? A large portion of late are merely an extention of where I am in life at the moment. There really is no method to my madness and some entries are definately more inspired than others.

Have you always loved quotes?

Yes, yes, yes. I'm a quote hoarder. I have jotted down great quotes in journals, on napkins or receipts ... anything to try and preserve them until use. I also have every great quoting website bookmarked for easy reference when I can only remember part of a quote or just the source.

 

What kind of books did you read when you were a kid?

This is an interesting one for me because I progressed through my children's literature phase really quickly. By fourth grade I had moved well out of kiddie "chapter books" and onto historical fiction and fantasy novels. But, I still think 'Where the Wild Things Are' is the greatest kid book ever.
