If I had to describe myself, it would be in a word that has many meanings with a complexity which falls off the tongue.
A word made up of many elements, is deceptive in appearance, and creates an illusion from the imagination.
My word would be Phantasmagoric. ~Summer Ross

Don't feel bad. I didn't get it either. :D
Love the picture!
I am wretched at riddles as well. That's why you chose your manly man wisely: to be there for you at Face to Palm moments! :-)
Don't feel stupid, Summer!
As the son of a mechanic and long-time assistant to said mechanic, I can say this: "We know stuff too!" lol
In seriousness, I think that's the one thing writing has brought to my attention--how much I can learn and still know so little. I consider myself to be reasonably well-read and have a pretty wide range of knowledge (something I pride myself on, in fact); however, I'm constantly looking up some little tidbit fact or other for a story. Usually things I think I should already know, but have zero clue. :)
Maybe we writer types are just forest for the trees kinds of folks?
Ha! I don't think I've ever considered the answer to that question. "Duh" to me, too.
I'm a new follower! I look forward to following your blog. :)
Well I wouldn't have known too! LOL!! Love the kitty face palm - paw! Take care

Aww, don't feel bad. Writing desks don't even have quills anymore.
I didn't get it either. Guess we don't use quills enough anymore.
If you feel bad, so should Lewis Carroll - he didn't have an answer in mind when he wrote it. Eventually, after being bugged about it a bunch, he later wrote; "Because it can produce a few notes, tho they are very flat; and it is never put with the wrong end in front!' This, however, is merely an afterthought; the Riddle, as originally invented, had no answer at all."
So you were actually more correct that you thought. :)
I never knew the answer to that question -- always intended to look it up someday. Of course, now it's obvious. Damn.
My 7 year old asked me this one: A cowboy rode into town on Friday. He stayed two days then left on Friday. Explain.
I figured it out right away and was proud of myself.
Quills. Argh!
Yeah, I didn't get it, either. I'm so rubbish at riddles.
Hi Summer .. what a great combination of ideas .. riddles who would have them!!
Cheers Hilary
