1. What do you hang on to that you should really get rid of?
Books. I have waaaaay to many books. I love buying books and reading books and hoarding books. They really must go.
2. Do you have a favorite year of school?
I really liked both my Junior year of High School and my Junior year of College. Great times in the cycle of life when I seemed to have a head about me and an idea of where I was going next.
3. Would you rather cry porridge OR sweat garlic butter?
I tear up a lot at night – some sort of allergy thing. So either would be a disgusting mess in my bed in the a.m. Let’s see, given those are the choices, lets go porridge. Tears run all night – breakfast in the morning.
4. Have you ever gone fishing?
Yup. Not in many, many years. But my dad and my grandmother were both avid fishers. Maybe that is in my future. I haven’t determined.
5. What are you going to do right after you finish answering these questions?
Make coffee, pour coffee, get in car, drive to work.
!) I should really donate the 2 boxes of stuffed animals I have to a children’s hospital. Perhaps I’ll put that on my list of things to do this weekend.
@) My favorite year of high school was my junior/senior year. I did both at the same time in independent study & didn’t have to interact with the other “kids” at all. Plus, I graduated & never had to go back!
#) I wouldn’t enjoy either as I don’t like solids in my eyes & detest sweating altogether.
$) I’ve been fishing with my father a few times. Unfortunately, I didn’t really understand the bonding aspect of these trips & was just incredibly bored at the time.
%) After this query, I’m going to head out into the oddly cool August weather & have a smokey treat.
1) I have many t-shirts that have gotten a bit tight with repeated washings and should be discarded or donated.
2) I think my junior year of college might have been cool if I had to pick. I had the system down and was the coolest and then had one more year to exercise the power of cool upon the lesser beings around me.
3) I am all for the porridge being a fat kid I sweat all the time
4) Yes
5) POOP!
1) My McFarlane KISS dolls. They’re still in the box in perfect condition if you are interested.
2) 4th year in college. It was madness how fun and top-o-the-world that year was.
3) Sweat the garlic dude! Then I could get with a baker and we could go for the Guinness record for largest garic bread in history. He bakes it, I roll on it, voila…world record!
4) Just a couple weeks ago. Die fishy die. (Actually I am a catch and release fly fishing guy, but “die fishy die” just rolls off the tongue don’t you think?)
5) Try to figure out what the hell is going on with my friggin’ computer network. stupid thing!
1. What do you hang on to that you should really get rid of?
The guilt I still carry for killing that kid. I mean, he was fat and probably would have been a drain on taxpayer resources, right? I mean, a kid that fat probably might have died anyway, right? I mean, if you saw him, you wouldn’t be mad at me. It’s not like he would have voted or anything. Besides, he dressed terribly and his parents were jerks. Really, you should thank me. I mean, he did… but I kinda made him.
2. Do you have a favorite year of school?
well, yeah. This is gonna sound strange, but here goes > it was probably my freshman year of high school. See, in eighth grade I was told that as a freshman I would be beat senseless. I was told I would be made to push pennies with my nose. Seriously, I believed it. Also, every teen movie even intimated I would be beaten constantly.
So, eighth grade kinda sucked because I kept dreading high school. that never happened. In fact, high school was awesome. I had lots of friends, and there were a gazllion chicks. None that wanted me, but what did my hormones care? I just wanted to look at girls all day long. Man, puberty was brutal… but high school rocked!
3. Would you rather cry porridge OR sweat garlic butter?
easy answer, the garlic one. I love to cook, and garlic is a great deal of trouble to deal with. You have to peel, roast, and chop. That ain’t all, either. See, garlic is sensitive and you can only add it at the very end of cooking. Otherwise, it burns off. So, if I had a surplus of garlic pouring from me… all good things would come. In fact, if I sweated garlic… you would be having dinner with me right now instead of reading this lame ass jibba jabba.
4. Have you ever gone fishing?
Oh, sweeet lordy yes. I love fishing, and it is one of few things that help me relax. Like golf, it is something I am sincerely terrible at…. but love to do. Also, working on my casting of lures is like my golf swing > I like practicing more than the actual thing. There are a great deal of things I am complacent about in life, but I will always be working towards a better swing and a better cast. Funny, I just realized that if I put the energy into writing or work that I put into my golf swing… I wouldn’t be writing for you douchebags. Just kidding, you are great! You’re the cream of the jerkstore choices!
Also, just because I like to kill fish for sport doesn’t speak to larger issues. Fishing is a sport, and isn’t any kind of link to murderous behaviour. Do you see my point, Dr Landy? I know you are reading this and I know you are going to ask me if fishing has anything to do with unresolved issues of killing that kid. Well, it doesn’t! Plenty of my new friends like to fish who haven’t killed anybody
5. What are you going to do right after you finish answering these questions?
well, if I have any sense I will go to bed. It’s almost one am and I gotta work in the morning. More likely, I will scrounge up a ciggie and pour another glass of wine.
1. Although I’m doing a better job of letting go of things, I still probably have about a hundred more sweaters than any one person should need.
2. I’m going to echo the rest of the sentiments–my Junior year of college. I had my wits about me, was getting good grades, and still having fun.
3. I’ll go with the porridge. I can go long periods of time without crying. I sweat pretty regularly.
4. Yes.
5. Resume my usual work-day schedule.
1. My worries. I worry about everything all the time and it’s giving me an ulcer.
2. Senior year of high school. Those were the salad days. Too bad I didn’t realize at the time…sigh.
3. Definitely sweat garlic butter. Like Lono, I love cooking and would find it very handy, if not a bit smelly out in public. I’d also never catch a cold.
4. Yes, but it’s been a long time. I prefer lake fishing as it’s nice to hang out in a boat or on the dock and while away the day.
5. Probably seek more caffeine. I’m having a tough time get going today.
1. My woobie aka my childhood pillow that I sleep w/every night. It has seen the world with me and is filled with nothing but dust (that is likely comprised only of 30 years worth of dirt, dead skin, hair and bed bugs) and would probably evaporate instantaneously if ever released from its Pac-man pillow case into open air.
2. IMy Junior year of High School was pretty cool. I totally bagged the Home Coming King, moved up two grades and graduated early enough to make the 9 years I spent as undergrad totally worthwhile!
3. I find that porridge is either too hot or too cold, and seeing as how I already sweat onions, I may as well go for the garlic, yep, that sounds juuuust right.
4. Yup, mainly for compliments and I’ve been known to reel in some hotties from time to time.
5. Try to get back to work. That’s not what I’m going to do, I’m telling you Roy, “Get back to work!”
