What other names did your parents consider for you?

If I were a girl, Stacy.
Also, the first choice for my boy name was Grayson, and my mother intended to call me "Sonny" (ugh). Luckily, while she kept the "son" ending, "Sonny" never stuck.

If a waiter stopped by right now to take your order, what cocktail or drink are you having?

Well, it's not even yet 9 in the morning, but I could really use a stiff drink. Since we're imaging the waiter anyway, let's say that we're also in New Orleans, and I'm having a long, leisurely breakfast (before going into work for a couple of hours and then heading back out for a Friday "lunch"). In which case, maybe I'm having a Bourbon Milk Punch.

Submitted by Marilyn.

Ooohh, good one.

William Faulkner--as if he got tired of writing Southern Gothic literary novels all the time and decided to write speculative genre fiction instead--or maybe a Cozy mystery.
