The Loose Leaf InQUIZision

Okay, now let’s see who’s been paying attention! I found a great little quiz over at Weary Hag’s place that I wanted to adapt for Loose Leaf. I had fun playing (her version was called the “Hagsperiment”), and I especially liked the game show sound effects. But when I went to set up my own quiz the link didn’t work anymore. I’ve recreated it here, without the game show sound effects, unfortunately. Can I have an imaginary drum roll, please…On your mark, get set, PLAY.
This past year I wrote about winning:
1. A free trip to Disney World
2. A Poetry Slam
3. A Scrabble Tournament
4. A Blog Award
Besides a trip to the South Carolina coast, what other vacation destination did I go on this year and write about?
1. Hawaii
2. Aspen
3. New Orleans
4. Ireland
In the year 2000 I voted for:
1. Gore
2. Bush
3. Nadar
4. Martin Sheen
I usually play Scrabble with:
1. Sherry
2. Kenju
3. Mara
4. Katherine
My husband likes to play:
1. Scrabble
2. Racquetball
3. Golf
4. Tennis
What 2005 Floyd Fest performer did I write about?
1. Nickel Creek
2. Willie Nelson
3. Ani DeFranco
4. Dar Williams
The alias I used while answering my husband interview questions for his human sexuality class:
1. Bambi
2. Joan
3. Ann
4.Chris
My brother’s names, who are also the subject of a book I wrote:
1. Joey and Dan
2. Jim and John
3. Bob and Josh
4. Jim and Dan
My sister’s blog name is an alliteration that begins with the letter:

    I say
    A Poetry Slam, Ireland, Gore, Mara, Golf, Dar Williams, Joan, Jim and Dan, B. I’ll go back to double-check some of those, but I wanted to go with my first instinct.

  • 2 Mayberry:

    Okay, I double-checked and just to let the other players know, I didn’t score 100.

  • 3 colleen:

    I can’t comment on how you did…but I will post the results in a day or so. Using 10 questions makes it easy to get percentages. Thanks for playing!

    You know, considering that quiz site had some annoying pop-ups when you first open it, I really thought about doing an in-blog version just like you have! Wonderful job, Colleen. I have my answers written down and now I will skip back up to today’s post to see how terribly I’ve done. 🙂
    (swear, I didn’t look first! I hate cheating my own self at a good game! haha)
