Over the top...


.
Thanks so much to Meredith, of the always fascinating L.A. La Land (go here for one of the best things I've ever read about poor, lovely Elizabeth Short) who has bestowed an Over The Top Blog Award upon Movietone.
Assuming that being over the top is a good thing in this context, we are pleased as punch to accept.
However, the rules insist that I answer a series of questions with only one word each.
So here they are without any further ado...
.

One place that you go to over and over? Freedonia

.
Now to pass the award on... As always, I shall refrain from tagging anyone else tagged by Meredith at the same time as me - but that still gives me license to pester Monty, Lolita, Mykal, Maggie, Elizabeth, Amanda and Casey.
(I'll wait and see how many of them spot their names before sending out invites...)
If any of you'd rather not spoil the purity of your most excellent sites by indulging in the questionnaire, feel free to either a) post your responses in the comments below, or b) tell me to take a running jump and simply accept the award with no strings attached. (Not sure if I'm allowed to do that, but what the hell. All the same, I'd love to see what you come up with...)
Thanks to you all, and thanks again, Meredith.

Haha! I worry that your best friend is imaginary... but I expected nothing less. ;)
