Nov. 19th, 2007 08:13 pm1) The word or phrase that best describes my personality:
Morose.
2) The best or worst lie I've ever told:
It's always "I love you."
3) Fill in the blank: _____ is sexy; _____ is sexier.
Self-awareness, confidence
4) My most humbling moment:
Riding a horse. Here's this great powerful beast that agrees to work for us, and people think they can control it, own it, make it obey. Then you watch a horse on t.v. do something like knock down a jumping hurdle so it can just step over it, and you realize that people can't control horses at all. Horses choose to live with us, and they laugh at us the whole time, because they know - and for the most part, we don't.
5) The last thing that made me laugh out loud:
This morning, I was in the process of mounting Rob. We have one of the couches where the end seats extend out into recliners, & he's always got the foot rest popped out. So I leaned back to give him more room to take his boxers off, the footrest folded down & I just rolled heels over head off the recliner onto the floor. I started leaning & just kept going. I laid there sprawled on the floor, startled, embarrassed & giggling my ass off because I was just happy I didn't smack my head on the wooden cabinet under Nessie's tank.
6) If I could be anywhere right now:
Weirdly enough, the Mount Charleston lodge
7) If I was given a million dollars:
Ohhhh, the bills would be paid. I'd be divorced from Rob & living on my own in Washington on a sizeable chunk of property and a really nice mobile home that would be completely paid off, & buying a few red deer & all the fodder I needed & equipment to start a deer ranch. If I had enough left after the IRS took their 50% that is. If not, well, at least all the bills & the student loan would be paid off.
8) Five items I can't live without:
Food, water, air, my skin, gravity
9) 25 years from now, I see myself:
Still working at the fucking Excalibur. Dude, I was $100 over & I still have my job. Damn!
10) My personal motto or creed:
It is what it is.
11) My personal style:
Jeans & t-shirts, or a hideous polyester black & white uniform. Or beat up nighties that I wear around the house.
12) The celebrity I resemble the most:
Personality-wise, me & Angelina Jolie were separated at birth. Why did she get the good looks to go with it? Even with my hair dyed black, I don't look like Rosie O'Donnell or Roseanne Barr.. and thankfully not Kathy Bates, either.
13) Body art:
Can has moar please? Ooh, ooh, that's what I can add under the million dollar question... more tattoos!
14) Favorite item of clothing:
My 'I Put the Fun Back in Funeral' t-shirt
15) In my bedroom one will find...
Mainly a bed, rattan furniture, bamboo blinds, an animal-print comforter & these amazingly soft Egyptian-cotton sheets, pillows, stuffed animals, my altar (currently home to a not-so-lucky bamboo plant, a statue of Santisima Muerte, a candle for Moonvoice, a candle for Santisima Muerte & a wooden plaque w/Baphomet on it), drums, two war-shields featuring Coyote & a dream-catcher w/a small ceramic coyote head in the center, Tarot cards, a closet full of clothes I rarely get to wear, a box of coloring books I have no time to color, a toy chainsaw, a box of tax paperwork, a drawer full of sex toys, a heating pad, a pilates ball...
16) In my refrigerator one will find...
Pears, some rotting broccoli, old lettuce, old celery, some random condiments, chocolates, iced tea, New Castle Brown Ale, left over roasted chicken, milk, half & half, water, old tomatoes that Rob promised he would eat, salad dressing, fresh cantaloupe (mmm, cantaloupe) & cottage cheese, sour cream - there's an awful lot of dairy in there, never really think about what's in the fridge, yanno.
17) Pets:
Two ball pythons, Ed & Nessie
18) The pace of my life is best described as:
Slow and very, very quiet.
19) What I like - or dislike - about what I do for a living:
Honestly, the only thing I like about working for the Excalibur is the money. And there's still not enough of it to do what needs doing. I dislike the pettiness of the hotel - it's a billion-dollar corporation, why nickel-and-dime people to death? It's also a stinking hole with poor plumbing - clean it up already!
20) The type of family I come from:
Basically, it was the typical lower middle-class recession family so common to the early 70's. Physically abusive & emotionally wearing, rife with alcoholics, drug abuse & teen pregnancy. One step above white trash, really. Fractured and gypsy-like, with no real history and no internal support structure.
21) The amount of fame and fortune I've achieved in my life is...
I've was on the news in 1995 (name withheld), & I have a blurb under a screenname in Rob Breszny's Pronoia.
22) My favorite way to spend a weekend:
Used to be on the beach. Now it's World of Warcraft.
23) If I could take a class on any subject, it would be...
Well, this next semester, I'm going to take the drumming class I missed out on last spring due to my knee surgery. I am going to do it this time, as soon as the college lets me register.
24: The sports I play, and the sports I watch:
I play nothing, & will occasionally watch random sporting events on television if they are violent enough - Australian football, bull riding, soccer, hockey... used to watch baseball w/my dad & used to be a faithful follower of horse racing.
25) My most unusual or impressive skill:
I can tell stories, convince people I'm right about anything, play several music instruments, and I am very, very good in bed. I give great head & I know where the g-spot is.
26) The last great book I read:
Toughie. I haven't read many books for pleasure over the past three years. Read all of Clare Bell's 'Ratha' books, including her new one, Ratha's Courage. Read the last Harry Potter book. Read Watership Down again, Stephen King's Blaze, which was incredible - one of the non-horror stories he wrote under Richard Bachman, & Lisey's Story, which I didn't like nearly as much as Blaze.
27:In my stereo right now, you'll find...
A mix CD I made to listen to in the shower... I know it's got the new INXS on it, and Finger 11, Amy Winehouse, Train, a few others...
28) 5 albums I can't live without:
Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
Train - Drops of Jupiter
U2 - Rattle and Hum
Afro Celt Sound System - Volume Three: Further in Time
W. J. Bethancourt - Celtic Circle Dance
29) The best movie I saw this year:
Pan's Labyrinth
30) Movies which spend the most time in my DVD player:
Around here, it's Army of Darkness
31) Shows I Tivo (or would):
Not that I own a TiVo, but... probably Death Note, Bleach, Robot Chicken, Metalocalypse, The Venture Brothers, eUreka... all the various forensics shows on CourtTV & Discovery Health & the Discovery Channel
32) Activities I'd enjoy on a date:
Long walks on the beach, sunsets & poking dead things with a stick.
Morose.
