If you're on my friends list, I want to know 36 things about you. I don't care if we never talk, or if we already know everything about each other. you're on my list, so I want to know you better:)
I've got a couple new friends, so really I'd love it everyone would fill this out. If you don't want to answer all the questions, or even if you answer "no comment" for a few that's fine.
01) Are you currently in a serious relationship? - Married, dunno if it qualifies as 'serious'. I was seriously pissed off at the old man, but he apologized the minute I got into the car this evening...
02) What was your dream growing up?
To be a paleontologist
03) What talent do you wish you had?
Any talent, any talent at all would be fantastic. Even if it was just something I could get on The Gong Show for
04) If I bought you a drink what would it be?
Unsweetened brewed iced tea - but I'm also pretty keen on good mojitos right now, too.
05) Favorite vegetable? Heh heh heh... this could be sooooo dirty. Seriously, though, I like Brussels sprouts - lightly steamed w/salt & butter.
06) What was the last book you read? - Shamans of the World by Brad Keeney
07) What zodiac sign are you? - Capricorn
08) Any Tattoos and/or Piercings? Explain where.
- Black cat on a red moon - left front shoulder
- Coyote from the Medicine Cardson my upper left arm
- Chris Achilleos' Lilith wrapped around my right boob
- A kangaroo rat on top of my left boob
- A green pentagram supported by antlers in the center of my shoulderblades
- A faery woman w/purple wings in a pink dress on my right hip (she is so getting covered up by some of Coop's fat lil' devil girls)
- Native American directional fetishes on my right ankle
- Two pythons, one red & yellow, the other green & blue, that go from my boobs to my pubes.
- And two very conservatively pierced ears
09) Worst Habit? - Pickin' my nose!
10) If you saw me walking down the street would you offer me a ride? - Of course!
11) What is your favorite sport? - Horse racing
12) Do you have a Pessimistic or Optimistic attitude? - Pessimistically realistic
13) What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me? - Try not to pass gas. Honestly, I'm well-behaved in elevators. I mostly lounge on one of the handrails.
14) Worst thing to ever happen to you? - Getting hit in the head w/a cast-iron cooking pot. Twice. I will be the first one to tell people - if you ever get hit w/a cast-iron cooking implement, don't get back up.
15) Tell me one weird fact about you. - I used to be able to tie cherry stems in knots in my mouth, but I can't do it anymore since I got a tooth pulled. It must have been a strategic cherry-stem-knot-tying tooth.
16) Do you have any pets? Yes, two ball pythons
17) What if I showed up at your house unexpectedly? - Bad idea. Call first & make sure you talk to a live person, don't just leave a message saying you're on your way over. Rob's got violent tendencies towards unexpected visitors.
18) What was your first impression of me? - You are a quiet, compassionate, smiling source of strength for someone dear to me.
19) Do you think clowns are cute or scary? - Terrifying and compelling
20) If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be? - My skin. I'd sell my soul for beautiful skin.
21) Would you be my crime partner or my conscience? - A friend bails you out of jail. A true friend is sitting next to you asking, "When we get out, want to do it again?"
22) What color eyes do you have? - Hazel
23) Ever been arrested? - Uh, no...
24) Bottle or can soda? - Fountain Coke is the best, but I usually go for cans, unless I can get the green-glass old-fashioned bottled Coke.
25) If you won $10,000 today, what would you do with it? - Pay off some credit cards
27) What's your favorite place to hang out at? - Libraries & coffee shops
28) Do you believe in ghosts? - Yes. Boo!
29) Favorite thing to do in your spare time? - World of Warcraft.
30) Do you swear a lot? - Yes, motherfucker! You assholes gotta fucking problem with that?!
31) Biggest pet peeve? - Elevator etiquette or the lack thereof. Do not stand an inch in front of the elevator door & get pissy-faced when someone tries to exit said elevator. And do not get on the elevator when people are trying to get out. Think ahead & stand back a little. Geez.
32) In one word, how would you describe yourself? - Cranky
33) Do you believe/appreciate romance? - No, not really.
34) Favourite and least favourite food? - Favorite - Alaskan King Crab Legs. Least favorite - Spaghetti. Ugh.
35) Do you believe in God? - I believe in many Gods (Funny story - one of my previous co-workers asked this of me once & she misunderstood me. She thought I said, "I believe in mini-God" so she had to ask a qualifying question: "What's a mini-God? Is it like a Fun-Size Snickers bar?")
36) Will you repost this so I can fill it out and do the same for you? - Uh, yeah, sure

no subject
This has been so enlightening for so many reasons. Like for instance, I would never have guessed that you had so many tattoos. People say they have one or two and I sort of nod and go, 'Ah-huh.' But to have several...I'm intrigued. May I ask what helps you make a decision to get a tattoo?
(To qualify my question, I don't have a problem with tattoos, it's more that I can never imagine doing something that permanent myself. I have a lot of respect for people who make up their mind and know what they want).
It's a shame you can no longer tie cherry stems in your mouth, though I'm sure you have lots of other talents. Some that may even get you on the Gong Show.

Mini-Gods & Tattoos
Tattoos, tattoos... When I was little I used to draw on myself - I don't know when the first time I ever saw a tattoo was, or why I decided that I was going to get them. I've never been comfortable with my skin & every time I get ink done I feel like I'm revealing my true skin to the world. There is also something cathartic and relieving about the pain - yes, it hurts, but I'm birthing a part of my sould each time. Eventually I'm going to be completely tattooed, but right now I have to stop at anything exposed to the work-world.
I did a couple of the designs myself - the black cat, the pentagram, the Native American fetishes (buffalo, coyote, bear & eagle), the faery - she's my only regret. I guess it coulda been worse - it could have been a dolphin, lol. I agonize over the designs for months before I get one because I want to know that it's going to be something I can be comfortable growing old with. The black cat is a memorial to my first cat, D.C., the pythons are Ed & Nessie, Coyote is, well, Coyote... I've never walked into a tattoo shop & seen a piece of flash on the wall & said, 'Ooh, yes, give me the naked chick with the flaming skull head riding that atomic bomb! That is soooo me!"
I do get tempted by some of the vintage tattoo designs, but I think going that route would have meant making my body a statement of dedication to the tradition of tattooing moreso than making my tattoos an expression of myself.
