tough choices

A fun little meme taken from Ahe’s myspace bulletin. Thanks, Ahe!

Would you rather fart in public or step in dog poo?
Farting, while perhaps more embarrassing (since the dog poo, supposedly, didn’t come from you), would be neater and over with quicker.

Were you born in the right time period?
I’ve often felt that I would have liked to live in the 50’s for the music, décor, cars and clothes. But had I grown up then, I probably wouldn’t be enjoying the full extent of personal freedoms that are available to women now. So I’ll just appreciate such things from THE FUTURE.

Have you ever failed a class?
Not officially. But I got a D in statistics in college, and since it was meant to satisfy my math core requirement, apparently a D doesn’t cut the mustard. I had to take the damn thing twice, fairing a C the second time. Math. Is. Hard.

Where do most of your calories come from?
Bread-based products.

Which would you rather fight, zombies or vampires?
Only The Slayer or someone who is into death-defying feats would pick vampires, whatwith vamps being super strong and fast. To quote Snow Day, Bloody Snow Day, zombies “really aren’t that hard to kill, and for a non-violent layperson as myself, that is a much more appealing foe.

What seven TV characters would you invite to dinner?
Spike, Young Lex Luthor, Davis, Veronica Mars, Anyanka, The Doctor, Jeri Blank.

What five literary characters would you like to receive a letter from?
Ignatius J. Reilly, Seymour Glass, Lestat de Lioncourt, Ford Prefect, Patrick Bateman.

Are you a leader or a follower?
If it’s something I’m interested in, I don’t mind leading. At work I’m a follower because I’m lazy.

Wolverine or Cyclops?
This should be a rhetorical question but since it’s not, Wolverine.

Compose your own haiku illustrating how you feel at this moment.
I hope that my work
Computer is no longer
Being monitored

What is your worst habit?
Forgetfulness.

What is your favorite animated movie?
The Fox and The Hound

Who would play you in the biopic based on your life?
Who would I want? Michelle Williams. Who would they pick? Probably Selma Blair. And she’d have to “bravely” gain a ton of weight for the role.

What was your favorite cartoon as a child?
Transformers.

Have you ever been a story on the news or in a newspaper?
Nope. But I had a brief stint as a youth correspondent for the junior page of my local paper.

What was your favorite TV station in grade school?
I suppose it was probably Nickelodeon. Or USA (Up All Night).

What do you think about the indoor smoking ban?
Well, I voted against it. That being said, I do enjoy not waking up smelling like smoke, but I don’t enjoy everyone at the table leaving me alone to go outside and have a cigarette at regular intervals.

Do you love anything that embarrasses you to admit, like romance novels or Eddie Murphy movies?
I love things that I perhaps SHOULD be embarrassed about. But I’m not ashamed of the joy I receive from the craptasticness of Tru Calling or Walker, Texas Ranger.

Happy Friday. This meme was pilfered from Ahe’s myspace and contains some original (albeit somewhat strange) questions for once.

1. Would you make a fool out of yourself in public if it meant you were making your partner laugh?
Might as well get SOMETHING good out of being a fool.

2. Would you prefer the lights on or off during sex?
Dimly lit or daylight with closed curtains.

3. Do you judge people solely by their musical preferences?
Not SOLELY.

4. If you could 'take back' your virginity from your first partner, would you?
Nope. I was dying to lose it at that point.

5. Do you need to know everything about someone's past?
Only the things that are relevant to me.

6. Is it more worthwhile and satisfying to improve the world or appreciate the world?
Can’t we do both?

7. Do you feel you have a purpose or calling in life?
I’ll leave the callings to Tru.

8. Do you believe that dreams can be messages from a “higher level”?
Only if I go to sleep baked.

9. Would you rather have a great friend you could share Everything with or a great lover you can't really talk to?
Friend.

10. Is the male or female body the closest to perfection?
Looks-wise, I’d say female. Functionally, male.

11. Should a child who's caught masturbating be punished?
Of course not.

12. Do you like kissing in public?
Sometimes.

13. Do you have a fetish that you would like to employ in your next relationship?
Yep.

14. Did America really put a man on the moon?
Duh.

15. Would you date someone significantly (9 years or under) younger?
At my current age, that would just be weird.

16. Generally, in life, what makes you happy?
People. Of course, they can make me equally UNhappy.

17. How do you handle criticism?
Initial offense followed by concurrence.

18. Would you like to date someone a lot purer than you?
I have.

19. When fooling around with someone, do you sometimes have sexual fantasies about other people?
When I’m fooling around with someone, it’s usually because I want to be with THEM.

21. Is it possible for Big Bellied Men to be equally attractive as Thin Men?
If not more so.

22. Do you think the family of a murder victim should have any say in what punishment is given to the murderer?
To a point. I still don’t believe in capital punishment.

23. Would you have a “Happy Button” installed on your body, connected to your brain, which would instantly make you very happy?
You mean, like, drugs?

24. Would you rather know everything about your mate, or be regularly surprised?
I like good surprises. Not like, “my sister is my mother” surprises.

25. We are all human, do you judge someone for a past indiscretion?
The way this question is phrased makes me feel like they are looking for a “correct” answer. However, since we are all human, I think it’s as normal to judge people by past indiscretions as it is to HAVE then.

26. What is sexiest on a woman or a man?
Woman: curves. Man: furriness.

27. Would you rather have your dream job or your soul mate for the rest of your life?
Dream job. I agree with Ahe that soul mates are a myth.

28. Do you consider yourself sexually open minded?
Yes.

29. Should your mate also become your best friend?
It would be nice. I wish you wouldn’t keep saying “mate” though. What are we? Wolves?

30. Would you rather marry a virgin or someone experienced?
There is no chain of events that I could possibly experience which would lead me to find myself at an alter with a virgin. I don’t care how cute “The 40-Year Old Virgin” was.

31. How do you attract the opposite sex?
”I’m SOOOOOO drunk…”

32. Have you ever posed as a nude model?
Not for anyone I didn’t know. Well.

33. Would you prefer if good things happened, or interesting things?
I don’t understand this question.

34. Is it better to have loved and lost then never to have loved at all?
There's a lesson in everything, but mostly it sucks.

panacea juggle

Happy Good Friday. I will commemorate Jesus’ death in a way that I believe he would appreciate: by doing a meme that appears to be predominantly about the secret debauchery of my youth. This meme actually has some interesting questions. And by interesting, I mean, they haven’t been asked 1000 times before in a meme. Anywhosel…

FIRSTS

1. Who was your first kiss and when?
My first kiss was during a game of spin the bottle. I kissed a guy named Daniel. Neither of us was too pleased about it. A few days later, a guy I DID like, named Robert, kissed me on his own volition. I would like to count that as my first kiss, if I may. Oh, and I was 13.

2. Who was your first prom date?
I find it funny that this meme assumes most people had multiple prom dates. I didn’t get asked to prom and the only person I would have gone with didn’t like me “in that way”. It wasn’t too big of a deal though (despite the general heartbreak of that crush). I spent the evening at a punk rock show and had a much better time than I would have had with a room full of people I didn’t like.

3. Who was your first roommate?
I roomed with THREE other girls my freshman year in college. A bio major, an aspiring aerobics instructor, and a funny girl named Jessica who had a drawer full of dildos.

4. What alcoholic beverage did you drink when you got drunk the first time?
Red wine. So goth.

5. Who was your first sexual partner?
My first boyfriend. He was a high school dropout and kind of a trouble maker. I really did live the movie cliché high school existence.

6. What was your first job?
Apart from babysitting, I had a summer job as a day camp counselor.

7. What was your first car?
1982 blue Volvo Station Wagon.

8. When did you go to your first funeral?
Some kids in my neighborhood died in a car accident when I was in middle school.

9. How old were you when you first moved away from your hometown?
I was 17 when I went off to college.

10. Who was your first grade teacher?
Some lady. Actually, several ladies. I think I switched schools that year.

11. Where did you go on your first ride on an airplane?
Moved to Oregon from Richardson, Texas (g-g-g-ghosts!) when I was 2.

12. Where did you go for your first date and who was it with?
I went to a high school play with my first boyfriend, after which we hung out in the parking lot with his friends. Super romantic.

13. When you snuck out of your house for the first time, who was it with?
My first boyfriend. That was clearly the height of my teenage rebellion.

14. Who was your first Best Friend in elementary and are you still friends with them?
I moved around quite a bit back then so I had a few best friends during that time. I think the first one was a German kid named Joe who I liked because he had ALL the Leggos. I’m not still friends with most of them, but I did reconnect with one of them in Seattle last year. Weird, considering we met in Huntsville, AL.

15. Who was the first person to send you flowers, or who was the first person that you sent flowers to?
Sent me flowers: I’m pretty sure it was my dad in middle school who sent me flowers to make me feel better about not being popular. He signed them “A secret admirer”. I think it might have actually made me feel worse knowing they were from my dad.
Sent flowers to: Probably a sympathy bouquet to a friend.

16. Where did you live the first time you moved out of your parents house?
The lovely Anderson/Langdon dorms.

17. Who is the first person you call when you have a bad day?
Whoever I think would be sympathetic to that particular plight.

18. Who's wedding were you in the first time you were a bridesmaid/groomsmen?
My friend Kristie’s.

19. What is the first thing you do in the morning?
Look at the clock and groan. Seriously. Every morning I do that unwittingly.

20. What was the first concert you ever went to?
Cool Answer: Anthrax/White Zombie/Quicksand
Uncool Answer: New Kids on the Block/Tiffany

21. What was your first major surgery?
Knee Surgery.

22. First tattoo or piercing?
I reluctantly got my ears pierced when I was 10. They’re pretty much all closed up now.

23. First celebrity sighting?
I saw Jeff Foxworthy in Richmond once. He was sitting in traffic.

24. First celebrity crush?
Han Solo.

12) What is the most memorable April Fool's joke that either you've ever played on someone, or someone has played on you?
I hate April Fools. It's a pointless day. No one has ever played a joke on my that was in any way clever or memorable on this day. My co-workers like to play silly tricks on each other throughout the year, but thankfully I am not privvy to such things.

13) How many times have you locked your keys in the car, and the car was running?
Never.

14) Let's say that you've just been photographed right at this very moment. Take a look around you, and tell us what 'easter egg' is in the photograph that is the most subtle clue, yet will give us the most information about you, when we find it of course.
My Godzilla calendar?

meme from

1. Cowboy or Indian?
I always ended up playing the indian when we played this game as kids. I'm sure that speaks volumes about my character.

2. Which Superhero did you want to be?
Either a transformer (NOT R.C.) or Selena Kyle.

3. Favorite afterschool cartoon?
Well, in elementary school, I was all about the Transformers/G.I. Joe double feature. But in middle-high school I definitely enjoyed the duck-themed series. And I also watched a lot of Mama's Family. It was on right at 5 every day.

4. Favorite Saturday morning cartoon?
I watched so many, it's hard to pick a favorite. But, and I know this is totally taboo in the comic world, but I really liked the X-Men cartoon.

5. Neighborhood bully or sidekick?
Which did I prefer, or which was I? If the former, I preferred the sidekick, for obvious reasons. I was once chased home from school by a bully with a knife who threatened to “rape” me (inasmuch as middle school boys know what that word means). But if the latter, I was neither. I was kind of a loner until late high school/college.

6. Earliest song you can remember really liking?
The song at the end of Darby O'Gill and the Little people.

7. First LP you bought with your own money?
Like Maura, by the time I was old enough to buy my own music, I was buying cassettes, but I saved up my allowance to buy “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” by Cyndi Lauper. I was convinced (and still am) that she was the more talented one in the Madonna vs. Cyndi debate.

8. First elementary kiss?
Didn't happen. I was a tomboy until puberty and then I was too awkward for boys until I turned 16.

9. In kindergarten did you make an ashtray, plate, mirror or picture frame?
Plate w/ handprint.

10. First elementary celebrity crush. (when you were 10 or younger)
Han Solo.
