Dancing Machine):

* * * So, someone left a comment the other day saying that I should take part in Holidailies (which entails updating every day in December), and Nance was all “Yeah, you should! ::snort::” and I was all “You first, foolio!” and then she was all “I signed up. SUCKER.” and I was all and then I was all “DAMN YOU!” and “I don’t wanna!” and she was all “Then you’re saying you’re a lying liar?” and I was all “Alright, DAMNIT. I’ll sign up for Holidailies, but then I’m taking the first week of January OFF!” So I’ve signed up for Holidailies, and I’ll be updating every day in December. And I’ll be taking the first week of January off. Damnit. * * * Survey, seen on MySpace. 1) Are you an Aunt/Uncle? I am – I have three nephews and one niece. 2) Can you do a cartwheel? I doubt it. I haven’t tried in many, many years. I’d try now, but I’m afraid I’d dislocate a shoulder or something. 3) What was the last movie you saw in theaters? I don’t know – maybe Hairspray when I was in Maine in August? 4) Do you eat vegetables regularly? I do. And a lot of them are vegetables we grew ourselves over the summer. 5) If you were going to get a body piercing, where would you get it? I wouldn’t. My ears are each pierced once, and other than that, I need no piercing, thank you. 6) Do you ever hang out with someone of the opposite sex? I hang out with Fred all the time, does that count? 7) What is the weather like right at this very moment? Sunny and cold. And Sugarbutt’s got a wild hair up his butt, and he’s racing around at top speed. Which probably has nothing to do with the weather, but I thought I’d mention it. 8) What is something you can’t wait for? You know, nothing comes to mind at the moment. 9) How many times have you been to Canada? Several. We lived at Loring AFB (before it closed), which is close to Canada, and I know I went into Canada at least once for a class trip and once for a Girl Scout trip. Plus, we lived in Canada when my sister was born. I’d love to visit again someday. 10) Have you ever had a reptile as a pet? No – though I always say I’d love to have a gecko. 11) What is your favorite fruit? Strawberries and blueberries are tied for favorite. 12) What song is on your myspace profile right now? I actually had to go look. It’s the Keith and the Girl theme song (“Hey all you assholes, come and listen to us, it’s the Keith and the Girl show!”) 13) Who was your last missed call on your cell phone? The spud, one day last week. 14) Where are you most ticklish? At the top of the back of my thighs. I can do the mind-over-matter thing and make myself not ticklish, though. Drives people who are trying to tickle me crazy. I WIN. 15) How many hours a week do you normally work? Zero! 16) Who’s your number 1 on myspace? Keith and the Girl. They were giving away iPods, and one of the rules was that they needed to be on your top… five? Ten? Something like that. So I made them my number 1 and left ’em there. 17) Do you have deep dark secrets? Who doesn’t? Mine aren’t so terribly deep and dark, though. 18) When was the last time you were sick? So long ago, I don’t even remember. 19) What color is your car? Red. 20) How many siblings do you have? Three – two older brothers and a younger sister. 21) Have you ever gotten caught sneaking out? It’s been too long – maybe? I don’t know. The only thing that comes to mind is when friends stopped by my house in the middle of the night (after they got off work) and knocked on my bedroom window, and I went out and we were standing out there talking, and TEN MINUTES after they showed up, our dog started yapping, which woke my father up. 22) Did you ever try running away from home when you were younger? I planned to run away ten thousand times, but never actually put my plans into action. 23) What makes you the happiest? Fred waking me up in the morning and then laying down beside me, a purring cat curled around my head, waking up and knowing I don’t have anything pressing to do. 24) How do you feel when you see a child at the store throwing a “Tantrum”? Relieved. 25) Where do you want to be right now? Right where I am is just fine, actually. Although I wouldn’t mind being on a hot white-sand beach looking out at blue water, either. 26) Have you ever finished a Rubik’s Cube? No, not ever. 27) When is the last time you drank too much? I don’t know, 15 years maybe? 28) When was the last time you rode a bike? That’s an excellent question. Maybe three years ago, when I briefly thought about bike-riding for exercise. I don’t even have a bike anymore – I never used it, so we put it on Freecycle along with a ton of other stuff. 29) Do you have any vacation plans for this summer? I’ll be going to Maine at some point, as always. 30) Where were you 1 hour ago? Watching an episode of Jon and Kate Plus 8. Someone mentioned it in my comments once, and then I read something about it on a message board, and I got interested enough to tape a few episodes. I really like it a LOT. I cannot imagine having 8 small children running around, but I can’t look away. Kate seems to always get up to the edge of losing it, then backs off. Although, I think she’d kind of be fun to hang out with. Is it weird to think that? 31) Who will be your next kiss? Fred or a cat. Fred doesn’t slip me the tongue as often as the cats do, though. Ha! I kid. 32) Do you kiss a lot of people? Just the one. 33) Are you wearing socks right now? No – I’m wearing warm slippers, but my feet are cold anyway, since I was just outside visiting the compost pile. 34) When was the last time you went out of state? Two or three weeks ago, when Fred and I drove up to Amish country one Saturday. 35) Have you been to the movies in the last 5 days? I have not. 36) What was the last thing you had to drink? Water. 37) What are you wearing right now? An Oscar the Grouch “S is for Scram” t-shirt, light gray pants from Land’s End, the aforementioned slippers, underwear and a bra. 38) What was your last purchase? Gift cards at the grocery store – I’m going to run errands here in a little while, though – Sam’s, Target, the mall – so there’ll be much purchasing. 39) Last thing you ate? I had a bowl of oatmeal for a snack last night. 40) Have you bought any clothing items in the last week? Actually, I bought a sweatshirt at Target on Monday, and a sports bra. The sweatshirt fit, but it needs a t-shirt under it since it’s cut so low, so I’m returning it. The sports bra is too big, so I’m returning it as well. 41) Are you a sexual predator? NO, Chris Hansen, I am not. I only have this bag full of condoms and 6-pack of beer because I CARE. Ooh. Is that a chocolate chip cookie? 42) What is in the backseat of your car? Empty water bottles, and a cat carrier with a towel, bottle of water, and small bag of cat food inside. I like to be prepared – however, every single time I see a cat and could use all that stuff, it’s never while I’m driving my car. 43. Three words to explain why you last threw up? The wrong food. 45. What was the last movie you watched? The last movie I watched the entire way through was Hairspray. After that, we tried watching Rescue Dawn and Stephen Tobolowski’s Birthday Party, but gave up after about ten minutes of each. 46. Do you think Barbie is a negative role model for kids? Not really. I don’t think the average kid looks at a Barbie and thinks “I should look like that” any more than they look at a Lisa Simpson doll and thinks “I should look like that.” Living humans are the negative role models (HELLEW BRITNEY) rather than plastic dolls. 47. What kind of car does your father drive? I… do not know. A Taurus, maybe? 48. Do you like scrabble? I do. 49. Where did you attend high school? Lisb0n High School, Lisb0n Falls, Maine. 50. Favorite scent? Lemon. 52. Last television program you watched? Journeyman, last night. Oh, and then Jon and Kate Plus 8 this morning. 55. Does your family own any boats? My father has a boat, a small one. 56. Something you can’t live without? Fred! 61. Where were you when 9/11 happened? At home, putting off exercising. 62. How often do you read books? Every day, sometimes multiple times a day. 65. Describe the computer you are currently using? I don’t know. It’s a computer. It’s a few years old. I need a new one. 66. How long does it take you to get ready to go out? Half an hour, forty-five minutes. I do a lot of puttering around the house between showering and getting dressed. 67. Will you donate your organs after you pass? Definitely. Take ’em all! 68. Have you been outside of the USA? Yes, to Canada. 69. Would you ever get your nipple pierced? HELLZ NO. * * * Check out the fang. Someone mentioned that the picture in yesterday’s entry of Elle showed her exhibiting the Flehmen response. That picture, actually, was from the tail-end of a yawn. This one, however, is definitely an exhibition of the Flehman response. I love it when they do this – they look so brain-dead. It never fails to crack me up. Felicia, stretching after a long, long nap. The girls, hanging out. Skittles loves a good ear rub. “Please, lady, is time for the petting?” ***************************** Sleepin’ Poo Pie. * * * Previously 2006: Go! Shop! Buy! 2005: “Well, GODDAMN,” I said. “NOT NOW, I won’t! I was GOING to, but now that I know you’d be sitting there all horrified about me reclining my seat in front of your parents, all worried that they’d be thinking ‘Good christ, look at her over there, so fucking LAZY she can’t expend the ENERGY to sit upright!’, I won’t! I wouldn’t DREAM of reclining on my OWN couch in my OWN home, I would HATE to embarrass you!” 2004: What If? 2003: Fred’s sister nodded. “That’s what I figured.” 2002: I forgot that teenagers are, on the whole (though yours may be different, or at least pulling the wool over your eyes) bone idle. 2001: McAfee rocks. 2000: Recent purchases. 1999: I informed him that there was no way he was getting out of taking me to the emergency room for this.]]>
