Pole Dancing In The Dark

Random Fridays

So, my unleashed fury has made The Unrepentant Individual repent. That should show you all to tremble at my mood swings!!! (Just kidding, thought it would be nice from time to time for you to faux tremble in my presence… but that is just a dream, a lark…)

Seriously, although his entry sort of hit a nerve, I was never really angry at him. There was never any animosity in the land of HCBA’ers. When he clarified precisely which women he was talking about, the ones that use the old “I’m storming out on you and this wedding unless I get my way” trick (not to be confused with the Jedi Mind trick – I am such a geek), I could completely agree with where he was coming from. Those women give the rest of us semi-sane ones a really bad name. Oh wait, I cannot really include myself in the semi sane category, can I?

Anyway, it’s impossible to stay angry at anyone that owns puppies as cute as his. I mean, just look at this face and try to stay mad about anything. Oh yes, that dog is as good as puppy-napped. Now I just have to sneak him past the evil Triumverate of Kitties. Maybe his size will confuse them...

In other news, this was kind of, no actually, really really creepy:

Your Birthdate: December 21

Being born on the 21st day of the month (3 energy) is likely to add a good bit of vitality to your life. The energy of 3 allows you bounce back rapidly from setbacks, physical or mental. There is a restlessness in your nature, but you seem to be able to portray an easygoing, "couldn't care less" attitude. You have a natural ability to express yourself in public, and you always make a very good impression. Good with words, you excel in writing, speaking, and possibly singing. You are energetic and always a good conversationalist. You have a keen imagination, but you tend to scatter your energies and become involved with too may superficial matters. Your mind is practical and rational despite this tendency to jump about. You are affectionate and loving, but very sensitive. You are subject to rapid ups and downs.

Really creepy.

Lastly, because it's Friday and I am really lazy, I will answer the questionaire I received from Mister TF Stern (mind if I just call you TF?) via email last night.

1. LAST MOVIE YOU SAW IN A THEATER

Sin City – Hubster’s turn to choose. I actually kind of liked it. A lot of people did get up and leave during it however. But if you have ever read a comic book or some cheese 1940’s detective novel, you pretty much have the gist of the dialog. Neat concept though.

2. WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING?

Just finished Ender’s Shadow by Orson Scott Card. He’s a personal favorite of mine. Sadly though, I have been reading this series completely out of order (because I am an idiot.) So, when I have finished, I am going to have to read them in the correct order. Highly recommended to those who like sci-fi / political /military type things. Start with Ender’s Game.

3. FAVORITE BOARD GAME?

Hubster beats me at all board games (ok, just trivial pursuit, but that’s all we really own), so I don’t play him anymore. Sticking to my computer games.

4. FAVORITE MAGAZINE?

Any cooking mags. Some gaming mags.

5. FAVORITE SMELLS?

vanilla

6. FAVORITE FOODS?

Gnocchi, Chicken Enchiladas, seafood and sushi. (All four go remarkably well with Margeritas.)

Hubster’s laugh

8. WORST FEELING IN THE WORLD?

The realization that I have just left my purse in the back seat of a taxi cab in the middle of NYC.

9. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU THINK OF WHEN YOU WAKE?

"don’t wanna!”

10. FAVORITE FAST FOOD PLACE?

Panera

11. FUTURE CHILD'S NAME?

Alexander or Alexandria, Max, Connor. I used to love Christopher as well, but some asshat ruined it for me.

12. FINISH THIS STATEMENT "If I had a lot of money....."

I’d pay off all my debt, and build a Victorian style mansion on some lake somewhere. I’d also open my bakery.

13. DO YOU DRIVE FAST?

Define fast…

14. DO YOU SLEEP WITH A STUFFED ANIMAL?

I sleep with fat cats that have usually just eaten, does that qualify?

15. STORMS-COOL OR SCARY?

very cool

16. WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST CAR?

1984 Chevy Citation, beater. Loved that car.

17.FAVORITE DRINK?

18. FINISH THIS STATEMENT, "IF I HAD THE TIME I WOULD . ."

start all the projects I've talked about starting.

19. DO YOU EAT THE STEMS ON BROCCOLI?

Yup.

20. IF YOU COULD DYE YOUR HAIR ANY COLOR, WHAT WOULD BE YOUR CHOICE?

Deep Purple or Midnight Blue (which song is now stuck in your head?)

21. NAME ALL THE DIFFERENT CITIES/TOWNS YOU HAVE LIVED IN:

Rochester, NY and Erie, PA.

22. GLASS - HALF EMPTY OR FULL?

There is no glass.

23. FAVORITE SPORTS TO WATCH?

24. ONE NICE THING ABOUT THE PERSON WHO SENT THIS TO YOU?

TF seems like a solid nice guy and I really adore his wife.

25. WHAT IS UNDER YOUR BED?

Free ranging dust kitties and a few monsters that are conspiring with them.

26. TOILET PAPER/PAPER TOWEL-OVER OR UNDER?

under, so the cats can’t play with it and make a mess

27. MORNING PERSON, OR NIGHT OWL?

Night Owl – always and forever

28. OVER EASY, OR SUNNY SIDE UP?

benedict

29. FAVORITE PLACE TO RELAX?

in front of my computer, knocking guards out

30. FAVORITE PIE?

Pecan – and by the way – what is wrong with those people in Charleston, SC.. I was there an entire week and no restaurants – NONE – had pecan pie for dessert!!!! It’s a southern pie!!!! Oh sure, there was key lime a plenty – but NO PECAN PIE!!!! You all really suck. Really. (Whew, I didn’t realize I was so bitter nor repressing that anger…. Thanks. And sorry.)

31. OF ALL THE PEOPLE YOU E-MAILED THIS TO, WHO'S MOST LIKELY TO RESPOND?

Didn’t email it to anyone

32. LEAST LIKELY?

So the point is moot.

Thank you and good night!
