Common or Garden Variety MEME

I saw this meme over on my other blog, and enjoyed it so much I decided to transport it over here. Then I decided to try to do a Garden Therapy version as well. Since the meme needs 12 questions to work well, it will be interesting to see if I can come up with 12 Garden-related questions. If I veer off into WT or AT to fill up the slots, please be merciful... or if I can only come up with repetitive and inane questions, mercy is begged of you.


First, the rules for both the regular and the irregular memes, hereinafter known as the Common and the Garden Variety:



a. Type your answer to each of the questions below into flickr search

b. Using only the results on the first page, pick an image

c. Copy and paste each of the URLs for the images into fd's mosaic maker


(Note: in the Common Meme, for question 12, I only used the first word of my flickr name, so that I'd actually get a result.)

(Note # 2: to get enough lines in the mosaic maker to make this work, you need to adjust Columns to 3, and Rows to 4, or vice versa, but you likely knew that...)

(Note # 3: instead of doing the actual name of my high school for question 3, I did the name of the sports teams)




Now, the Questions for the "Common" Meme:

1. What is your first name?


2. What is your favorite food?
   
3. What high school did you go to?


4. What is your favorite color?


5. Who is your celebrity crush?


6. Favorite drink?


7. Dream vacation?
   
8. Favorite dessert?
   
9. What do you want to be when you grow up?


10. What do you love most in life?


11. One word to describe you.


12. Your flickr name.
    

My mosaic for the Common Meme (somehow that title reminds me of "Fanfare for the Common Man", so let's have a little music with our meme:

The Questions for the Garden Variety Meme:

1. Name a gardener, any gardener.


2. What is your favorite vegetable?

Okay, here's my Garden Variety Mosaic:

They ask that one post the links to the pictures, for copyright reasons, etc. It also helps you figure out what my answers really are, if you can't figure them out from the pictures (but guessing is fun!)
