Yep, I decided to do this one too. LoL. (Anything to keep me from doing useful things, such as studying for finals, homework, writing papers for classes I hate...)
1. How long have you been a member of Epinions?
I’ve been a dedicated member for a WHOLE ENTIRE LONG BIG BAD SCREAMING… month now.
*wink*
2. What do you do for a living?
The term “a living” would denote the making of some money and I don’t have any. Wait, let me check… oh yeah, I do have 76 cents, so I can buy some Juicy Fruit and a roll of cheap toilet paper LOL. I am a college student, if that explains much. No, that doesn’t mean that I mooch… all the time…
3. Favorite food?
Fried rice, Cheetos, Philly Steaks, any kind of shrimp, Red Lobster, Olive Garden, anything that is the exact opposite of sauerkraut, olives, or my mother’s ham and bean soup, a.k.a. Blech to the 10th power.
4. Most embarrassing moment?
Today was a good one… I was at the grocery store with my three year old daughter, and we were getting ready to go. The checkout lanes there are in front of a classy little bank enclave, you know, the kind with the velour carpet and people wearing suits giving out expensive car loans… and my daughter decides now would be a good time to lift up momma’s skirt to see just what color my underwear is because she really finds that so fascinating… and show it to the rest of the store as well. (There are too many other examples, so I’ll just “live in the now” with this question.)
5. What are your favorite topics to write about on Epinions?
Movies. Bad ones. Really really REALLY bad ones. And B.S. I know lots of B.S. that needs written about… Anything deserving of a good hot rant.
6. Name a few things that you can’t stand whatsoever:
Racists. People who say “Heritage not Hate” and meanwhile have bumper stickers of American flags next to Rebel flags next to stickers that say “Talk to my Gun” and “Fat Chicks Suck.” Actually, I saw a guy once, with all of the above, and a mural on his rusted tailgate of the Statue of Liberty aiming a rocket launcher and at old Islamic man who looked nothing like Osama, if that was the goal… and as I waited patiently (as I could) behind him at a red light, I watched as he lit a cigarette then spat out the window something large of the greenish brown color, then proceeded to yell something foul through an almost toothless mouth at the stoplight. I could not hold back from yelling YOU SUCK out the window as loudly as I could as I zoomed past him.
Ignorance for the sake of ignorance kills me. My old landlord used to say he hated smart people, and always mentioned “I don’t even know how to read and look, I have lots of money and own my own houses.” Good for you, but if you are 90 and haven’t even tried to learn to read when all the opportunity under the bright blue sky was there, then you just suck. He was a slumlord anyway, and when we moved out, I told him so in a note calling him “pathetic”… he asked my step dad once we were gone why I called him a “pay - tic” as he pronounced it. How sad is that???
I gotta get out of here.
7. Hobbies?
Writing, movies, singing, music, creating, joking, fashioning weird jewelry, and I make really nifty light switch covers with anything you want on them for stress release.
8. What kind of car do you drive? What color is it?
I drive a purplish blue 93 Pontiac Voyager minivan with almost 200,000 miles on it, but the air conditioning still works. Last week I went out to my car and everything inside it had been opened… the glove box rummaged through, my book bag dumped out… but nothing was missing. Strange.
9. Worst time you got into trouble when you were a kid?
This I can’t really answer. I grew up for several years in a household where there isn’t a type of abuse that didn’t happen to me there. Sometimes I’d get hurt just for the sake of it. I spent a lot of time learning how to hide really quietly. And it made me a really angry teenager who did wild and crazy things sometimes… but I’ve only been arrested once and it was thrown out, lessons learned and so forth.
Now I happen to be a firm believer in Karma and I know it works because my step mom beat me for years and put me through all kinds of tortures too nasty to mention, and now she is a sniveling, drooling, psycho on meds and welfare whom nobody likes. You only get what you give…
10. Have you ever been on TV? If so, what for?
A few months back I was at the Post Office mailing stuff when a news crew just wondering through asked me if I would answer a question for them on TV… I did. It was something like “Are you in favor of police being allowed to pull people over on the basis of them not wearing a seatbelt?” Man did I look like a daft cow.
11. What kind of music do you like to listen to?
Alternative mostly. DMB, Tori Amos… Anything but Gospel Country. Ugh.
12. What CD would your friends be surprised that you own? …
Simon and Garfunkel’s Greatest Hits. The last Cranberries CD which, frankly, wasn’t that good. Aqua but only by association. Yes, Lots of Tommy Petty and the Heartbreakers, and Jethro Tull.
13. Shoes or sandals?
Bare feet. That way I can run faster. LoL
14. Where do you buy most of your clothes?
Dillards last time. They had a 75% off sale so everything was like $5. And, btw, Wal-mart sucks.
15. Have you ever met any famous people? If so, who?
I got Rhett Miller to sign my cd at the last Tori Concert. The front of the CD (“Instigator”) has his face on it, covering the thing… and I didn’t want to ask him to sign his face, you know? So I took the J card out of the back and presented it to him. Everyone else had the face signed… he said, “Clever girl, the J card really is the only good place for this.” He smiled at me and took my hand for a moment and asked me if I was a big Tori fan and told me what a great lady she is. He is so cute up close, the kind of "cute" you use when you are twelve and get a kiddie crush on someone.
16. What are your favorite TV shows?
I don’t know because I can’t afford cable and I don’t own rabbit ears. I only belong to Netflix and there’s this video store near my house that rents any movie that’s at least a year old 2 for $1.49 on Tuesdays. I live off of music and old movies most of the time, with the occasional newby from Netflix. I used to love “Friends” back when I was in high school… and SNL, and “The Daily Show” on Comedy Central when I could get it. Oooh, and all the Forensic shows on the Discovery Channel where they catch some guy just because the most minute detail, like the fact that he wore red socks when committing the crime or that the wind was out of the S-SE at 7 mph instead of 4... And of course SCI FI when they aren't always doing the same rerun of the episode "Sandman" from the new Outer Limits series...
17. Why do you take simple W/O’s and spend 8 billion hours writing a long-winded epi-saga as an answer to them when you really just should have point blank answered the question, I mean, geez already-??
I’m a writer… and YOU AREN’T SUPPOSED TO ASK ME THAT, materialized voice in my head guy! Go away!!!
Would you like to have fun subjecting yourself to this nifty W/O too???
