Tell us two truths and a lie about yourself.
- Can put my legs behind my head.
- I'm double-jointed.
- Was born knock-kneed.
How many times do you usually re-edit posts? What is the most common reason for doing so?
Depending on how interesting I think the post is, I'll edit it up to six times. If the entry is interesting to me and includes text AND media or perhaps a long-winded rant or essay, I will get the rough draft written up, proof-read then submit. Seeing what I've just done on the actual blog page is totally different and I will re-read what I've written until I'm pleased, normally editing to fix paragraph arrangement or missed grammatical typos. This habit has carried over from the old, old, old Blogger days.
But most of the time, especially for these quicky posts, I don't even bother.
What was your version of teenage rebellion?
Booze, cigarettes, skateboards, heading off to LA for months at a time by myself, driving without a license. Two of these things I still do on a semi-regular basis! :)
I also thought the following were good ideas: chopping off my hair into an emo bitch haircut, selectively bleaching certain portions of my hair, cutting as a daily habit, wearing a lot of little boys' t-shirts, buying trousers that didn't fit me, having sex with everyone I knew, dating NorCal people, and eating Jack-in-the-Box every day.
Have you ever tracked down any of your old high school friends and fellow students?
Yes. All my old Catholic school classmates are: potheads, fat, knocked up, and/or tacky. Sad.
Sometimes I see this girl from my high school around. I use to think she was pretty in high school but damn she bloated and hipster'd out. It's like some sort of necessary requirement that you must be overweight to hang out with the shallow crowd. Nonsense!
When was the last time you interacted with any sort of wildlife?
Last time my boyfriend came up to visit me, we walked through some flowery place in Golden Gate Park and chilled with squirrels. :) My allergies went crazy and my feet hurt, so we left pretty early after that. I don't do too well surrounded with so much greenery. And it definitely doesn't help that San Francisco is so windy, so even if I avoid parks the pollen still travels with the air.
Have you ever had a dream that came true?
I had a dream the other night that I was wearing fashion shorts. I pray that dream doesn't come true. Such a thing would be a travesty to all mankind.
Is it likely that the U.S. will have a female president in the near future? In your lifetime? Why?
I could seriously answer this question but then my misogyny would become even more apparent.. and then people would argue with me and quite frankly I don't care enough about what you think to even bother with such an endeavour.
In short, I am not sure if it's likely. I figure this country is in a current state where "anything goes", but I'm constantly being surprised by the midwest and the conservative south so I cross my fingers and hope everything turns out for the best. (The best being probably the least detrimental result for me personally.) As more time goes on and people become more "confused", the chances of a female president being elected could go up. Who knows how desperate we'll be in the future.
I never watched Commander in Chief, but Geena Davis is pretty hot (moreso now that she's gained some weight from her previous anorexic-like state in the 80's) and I would totally embrace a totally hott (extra T for emphasis) woman president. But you know all those political women types, they're so old and androgynous, they look like men. :/ That's what happens when you age, unfortunately. (Kinda like how all babies look the same and need colour coded clothing to be gender identified.) I'm allowed to be overtly shallow based on the fact that I'm confronted with ugly people on the tele and in movies all the time, Hollywood has let me down and boy am I bitter. (SAG, where are you? Dove commercials, Starburst commercials and reality television must be stopped!) But this should be saved for another hollow entry.
Have you ever had plastic or elective surgery? Did you tell anyone? Why or why not?
See, through a simple addage of "If not, what would you get done?" would have made this question less selective as so everyone can answer it. Ugggh.
