spaceyNow Playing: "Police Navidad"
According to Tripod, this blog is rapidly running out of disk space. Therefore, I'm going to start pruning older photos and general stupidity out of here. And replacing it with newer photos and general stupidity.
It's been brought to my attention by the Blog Police that every personal blog must include at least one of those "meme" questionnaires, such as "Bold the names of celebrities you'd shag", followed by a list of 400 actors you've never heard of. Apparently, I've been negligent in complying with the rules. So here goes.
1. What color are your bed sheets?
Clear.
2. Would you rather die in a blaze of glory, or peacefully in your sleep?
In a blaze of peaceful, glorious sleep.
3. Coffee or tea?
Precious, life-giving Poland Spring cranberry-lime seltzer.
Or water. I'm easy.
4. What are you thinking right now?
Where have all the flowers gone?
5. Ever been hit on in a zoo?
I was inappropriately touched while getting a photo with "Shamu" at Sea World when I was 16. Does that count?
Does getting into a fight near the oryx exhibit at the Cairo Zoo with a future boyfriend count?
This question is very ambiguously worded. Not to mention, weird. Who goes to a zoo to hook up?
6. Ever won a spelling bee?
People who spell "desiccated" with two s's don't get very far in spelling bees. Sad, but true.
7. Where were you when 9-11 happened?
In a "new employee" training session for my current job. We were all sent home at noon. To this day, I still haven't learned how the phones work.
8. Have you ever taken a bong hit?
Yes. And then I hit the bong right back. Sometimes you have to show it who's boss.
9. Have you ever had sex with a total stranger?
No. Only partial strangers.
10. Do you wear a lot of black?
Nope. Black is depressing, and doesn't match my eyes (except for the little black dot in the center.) In fact, I don't think I own anything black.
11. Did you ever go to Sunday school?
Throughout my entire youth. In spite of that, somehow I managed to weasel out of confirmation. That was one of the fringe benefits of being the youngest child. My parents had gotten very laissez-faire about religious education by the time I came along. (Or I should say, my mom...my dad permanently renounced Catholicism at age six, on the day his mother died.)
12. What zodiac sign are you?
"Pinchy, the Crustacean". Everybody born in this month tastes good on rolls with mayonnaise. We also have a tendency to scuttle sideways when you shine a flashlight on us.
Actually - and this is an interesting phenomenon - an unusual number of David fans that I've met on the boards have July birthdays: Nenya, RedQueen, meaningofhaste, dragonfly, celebne, de_lurker/binky, Angelina, faramirslover. Coincidence? Astrology? I must ask my hairdresser about this.
13. Ever been in love?
Oh yes. Quite a few times.
14. Dream job?
I have several:
A) Shepherd
B) Advice columnist
C) Owner of a polygraph lie detector agency called "PANTS ON FIRE"
15. Favorite channels?
I get 7 channels on my home cable, 3 of which are home shopping networks. None of them are really favorites, except for the one that shows "Seinfeld" reruns.
When I'm at someone else's house, I like to watch The Daily Show, Animal Planet, and the History Channel.
16. Ever had a crush on a cartoon character?
Not really. Those rumors about me and Tinky Winky are totally unfounded. (Too much "winky", not enough "tinky", if you know what I mean.)
I do have a small thing for the constellation Orion, however. That is one hunky cluster of stars.
17. Showers or baths?
Definitely showers. I have a horrible, medieval bathtub that no one in their right mind would want to sit in.
18. What are your phobias?
Snakes and tornadoes.
19. Are you paranoid?
Waaaait a minute.... You're one of "them", aren't you?
20. Are you impa -
No,whydoyouask?
20. - tient?
21. What's your life motto?
"Emancipate yourself from mental slavery. None but ourselves can free our minds." -- Bob Marley
22. What time did you wake up today?
4:31, 5:02, 5:13, 5:20, 5:48, and 5:56 am. (The cat wanted breakfast, or attention, or something.)
23. Current worry?
Peak oil, geopolitics, the worldwide rise of religious fundamentalism, economic justice, and whether they're going to kill off Sawyer on "Lost".
24. Where would you like to travel?
Someplace tropical, like Hawaii or the Caribbean, where I can shed all these thick gloves and sweaters and boots and run barefoot on the sand. I'd also like to visit Greece, Scandinavia, Australia, New Zealand, and Costa Rica.
25. What did you have for dinner last night?
Brown rice, broccoli, onion and tofu stir-fry, with a Christmas cookie chaser. Yum!
26. Does your mom think someone is hot?
Yep. She likes her some Sean Bean and Steven Segal.
For what it's worth, she describes David as "very winning".
27. Favorite Christmas rap song?
"Chestnuts Roasting As I Open Fire"
28. Have you ever started to fill out a survey and then thought "This is stupid" and stop without finishing it?
...
29.
