Remember the cartoons where the Tasmanian Devil spun so fast and hard he drove himself into the ground and got stuck? Yeah, that's me lately. And I chatter, chatter, chatter on my blogs and twitter and this and that to the point where I don't know what I'm chattering about. I think part of this is that I think people will up and forget me if I'm not on my blog pretty much every day. So I push myself. And then I get resentful. And then I have a nervous breakdown. And then I want to flip rude women the double bird whilst hanging out my car window weeping copiously and offering strangers fries with their imaginary meals (would like fries with that? see blog below).
I think part of it is people say, I love your style it's like you're talking to me. And I come every day to see what you've said. So when I have days I have nothing to truly say or a driving need to say it, I have that old guilt thing (where the fuck does guilt come from anyway and how can I get rid of it???). But the bottom line is: I truly do not like to be away from my blog. I love talking to other writers and readers and just people who randomly stumble over my blog and find something pertinent, sexy or funny to read.
So then it hits me in the shower (also known as my think tank) I can be silent with myself and peaceful with myself and nice to myself (my goal for this week) and still put up a blog. Because I want to know about YOU. I have put up some questions. It would rock my world if you would interact with me by telling me about you. I will leave this up for the next few days and pop in to post comments when they come through my gateway (sorry, I must say, recently I've had some doozy emails and comments so I finally had to put the permission to post thingy on).
Now these things, historically, either go smashingly well and we get to learn all kinds of cool stuff about other writers and readers and Random Mary from Kansas who tried to type in sweet girl.com and got smutgirl.com. Or...they fall flat and it sounds like a forest when a predator's on the loose. Nary a sound. Not even my favorite standby *crickets chirping*. Please help me to make this a success and fun. Please. Pretty please with fries on top and no double bird from the crazy woman.
I will post my own answers when everyone else is done in a few days.
Back to laying on my bed with the feet on the wall reading a good book. I am (re)learning the fine beautiful art of doing NOTHING sometimes but that which I feel like doing...
Tell me if you would be so kind...
1. What language would you learn if you could learn any language in existence?
2. One food you would perish before you'd give up.
3. A book you could read over and over again and never get bored.
4. Your favorite flavor Jolly Rancher candy.
5. A smell you would capture again but can't.
6. Your favorite 80's move and why.
7. Your dream getaway.
8. Milk chocolate, dark chocolate or no chocolate
9. A TV show that inexplicably makes you feel happy no matter what.
10. Are you Laverne or Shirley?
11. Do you dance or stand on the side looking cool?
12. What is your most embarrassing inadvertent character trait?
13. Have you ever been truly, wholly, knee-knockingly, heart-stoppingly in love?

American Sign Language
2. One food you would perish before you'd give up.
Goat cheese
3. A book you could read over and over again and never get bored.
Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman
4. Your favorite flavor Jolly Rancher candy.
Nonexistent. Jolly Ranchers are vile.
5. A smell you would capture again but can't.
The scent of an ex-lover.
6. Your favorite 80's move and why.
Ferris Beuller's Day Off. I'm a total Type-A perfectionist, and sometimes I just want to take a break and be Ferris. He reminds me I don't have to be so intense all the time. Ferris is my zen.
7. Your dream getaway.
New York City in the fall.
8. Milk chocolate, dark chocolate or no chocolate
Dark chocolate if I'm in the mood, but usually I'll choose cheese over chocolate.
9. A TV show that inexplicably makes you feel happy no matter what.
Roseanne
10. Are you Laverne or Shirley?
I was born in 1984 and have no concept of Laverne or Shirley.
11. Do you dance or stand on the side looking cool?
I dance while looking cool.
12. What is your most embarrassing inadvertent character trait?
I'm embarrassed about my social anxiety disorder. I'm anxious about my anxiety. I'm meta.
13. Have you ever been truly, wholly, knee-knockingly, heart-stoppingly in love?
Currently, yes. With two people. At the same time. It is a beautiful thing.
Did you just want us to answer in the comments? I'm going for it, anyway!
1. Swedish. So I could surprise Alexander Skarsgard into having sex with me.
2. I would wither away to nothing more than a raisin, before I gave up chocolate.
3. Monster, Christopher Pike.
4. Apple.
5. The smell of Murdock's hair. I've never actually smelt it, but I bet it's amazing. I bet it *smells* like Jolly Ranchers. I bet he smells like Jolly Ranchers all over. I just want to suck on him until I get that sourness twinge in my cheeks.
6. Oh God. Why did you ask this? I have too many! My Demon Lover, Return To Oz, Aliens, Terminator, Starman...I could go on forever.
7. Solaris. Or maybe Serenity. Some spaceship, anyway.
8. ALL OF IT ALL OF IT GIVE IT TO ME OM NOM NOM NOM.
9. The Office (American version). The Brit version is, quite frankly, miserable. But Andy Bernard gives me joy like no other TV character.
10. I wish I knew who they were, cos they sound awesome.
11. DANCE! (badly)
12. I'd say farting when I wake up, but I'm proud of that.
13. God, yes. Yes.
Dorla I am still reeling from the Jolly Rancher slam and the fact that you know not of Laverne and Shirley. So it occured to me that I'll add this so you get my title. In case you didn't. Forgive me! In my head, everyone was born in 1971 like me! ;)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XD3qA54Fn_Q
Charlotte. Oh my god. As usual. You made me fucking snort. "I'd say farting when I wake up, but I'm proud of that." pretty much sums it up X-D
Thanks to you both for making my forest noisy and not as if there's a predator about ;)

- Jessica
1. All of them. I'm a total language geek. I took two years of Latin in college and loved it. Next, programming languages.
2. I would be sad without fruit.
3. Yoga Sutras.
4. Apple or watermelon.
5. The way my grandparents' house smelled when I was little.
6. It's a tie between Heathers and Beetlejuice, partly because I used to look like Winona Ryder (and she was awesome before she grew up). I still grin every time I hear the word "myriad" (Heathers) and the song "Day-o" (Beetlejuice).

What a lovely idea!
1. Russian – because it has the same effect on me as it does on the Jamie-Lee Curtis character in A Fish Called Wanda.
2. Potatoes – so versatile, so rough and honest, yet tender and fluffy.
3. Jane Eyre
4. I don’t think I’ve ever had a Jolly Rancher – but I nearly rotted all my childhood teeth with Cherry Drops.
5. An old boyfriend used to wear a leather jacket and Old Spice. Will always be the sexiest scent of all time for me, I fear.
6. Blue Velvet
7. A massive tour of Europe, like the ones rich gents used to go on in the 18th and 19th centuries, lasting all year.
8. I’ve tried to be sophisticated with the minimum 70% cocoa solids stuff, but I’m just a milky milk chocolate girl at heart.
9. Frasier. I adore Niles, I mean, it. And Father Ted.
10. Oh dear, I don’t really know who they are, except that they were in Happy Days. I’m whichever one was the daftest, I expect.
11. Depends how much drink has been taken, but generally I love a dance.
12. Gibbering nervously on until I’ve managed to say something astoundingly weird.
13. I think so.
Thanks, Sommer – that was fun! I hope you’re back to firing on all Sommer cylinders soon. Take care xx
I. Am. Stoked! People are telling me stuff. This is fun. I wish my think-tank/shower has spit out this idea ages ago.
Jessica, reading your answers,if you have not read Eat, Pray, Love. Read it. I am right now. Gosh, I love it so.
(and I've met Mike. He's the son of friends of a relative of mine. tada!)
Lauren, you stole my number 12! :) And btw, I was downeeavenuehon yesterday and passed what i think is one of your places of employment...yes?
xoxo
Sommer
Justine, I love A Fish Called Wanda. One of my favorite movies. But my crush in that movie is not the Russian pre-coitus but John Cleese. I adore that man! (and my girl crush in life has always been Jamie Lee Curtis)...
We cross posted. Sorry I missed you in my previous comment. ;)
xoxo
Well, it's nothing personal against Jolly Ranchers. I don't really like candy in general. Or cake. Or cookies. I know, I know, I'm a freak.
What's funny is that everyone says "It's great you hate sweets, you're so healthy!!!" Uhhh, I wish. I don't like candy, but 75% of my diet consists of cheese. I have cheese with every meal. I'm not really any healthier than sugar fanatics - I'm just a different kind of unhealthy.
Okay, Sommer . . . you asked for it.
1. What language would you learn if you could learn any language in existence? - It's a tie between Dutch and Farsi. I've heard them both spoken and think they sound amazing.
2. One food you would perish before you'd give up. - Cheese. Any and all cheese.
3. A book you could read over and over again and never get bored. - 1984 by George Orwell
4. Your favorite flavor Jolly Rancher candy. - Lemon, always
5. A smell you would capture again but can't. - The smell of my grandfather's old farm. All of it, even the manure.
6. Your favorite 80's move and why.
- So difficult. SO, I'll cheat. Three way tie between Pretty in Pink, Better off Dead and Less Than Zero.
7. Your dream getaway. - Australia. I just can't shake it.
8. Milk chocolate, dark chocolate or no chocolate - All chocolate. Keep it coming.
9. A TV show that inexplicably makes you feel happy no matter what. - South Park
10. Are you Laverne or Shirley?
- Total Laverne. Had an 'H' pin on my jean jacket all through junior high school
11. Do you dance or stand on the side looking cool? - Dance and look extremely uncool.
12. What is your most embarrassing inadvertent character trait?
- I'm very klutzy. And, always at the worst possible moment.
13. Have you ever been truly, wholly, knee-knockingly, heart-stoppingly in love? - I am right now. He's napping upstairs.
1. What language would you learn if you could learn any language in existence?
French. Should've taken this in high school instead of taking the easy way out with Spanish.
2. One food you would perish before you'd give up.
Maryland. Blue. Crab. Can't get it in the south but, I've been having dreams of eating my way through a bushel with lots of Old Bay and beer :)
3. A book you could read over and over again and never get bored.
The Diaries of Anais Nin. Every time I read them I discover something different or a passage speaks to me differently than it did before.
4. Your favorite flavor Jolly Rancher candy.
Sour Apple. YUM.
5. A smell you would capture again but can't.
That sweet, oatmeal-y smell my boys had when they were babies. I've smelled other babies and they smell good but not quite the same.
6. Your favorite 80's move and why.
Pretty in Pink or anything with the "brat pack" in it. So wanted my high school to be like that when I went. It was SOOOO not.
7. Your dream getaway.
A summer in Europe where I get to spend an extended length of time in each city I visit.
8. Milk chocolate, dark chocolate or no chocolate.
Milk chocolate.
9. A TV show that inexplicably makes you feel happy no matter what.
True Blood! WooHoo! It's my weekly escape from reality. It started off cheesy but, I love it now.
10. Are you Laverne or Shirley?
Laverne, I think? Which one is the loud one? Whoever she is, that's me.
11. Do you dance or stand on the side looking cool?
Dance like no one's watching and sing like they've all gone deaf.
12. What is your most embarrassing inadvertent character trait?
My emotions show clearly on my face. If I don't like someone. If they smell funny. If I'm enamoured or hammered or whatever, it will show there. Nothing I can do about it.
13. Have you ever been truly, wholly, knee-knockingly, heart-stoppingly in love?
Yes, ma'am, I have. And Yes ma'am, I am :)
1. What language would you learn if you could learn any language in existence?
- Any Native American language belonging to a tribe containing were wolves...
2. One food you would perish before you'd give up.
- Used to think it was butter but then that was fine... perhaps scalloped potatoes at Christmas. Or my whole Christmas dinner maybe.
3. A book you could read over and over again and never get bored.
- The hobbit
4. Your favorite flavor Jolly Rancher candy.
We don't have it here :)
Generally, I like the black ones.
5. A smell you would capture again but can't.
- My mother's smell, I suppose.
6. Your favorite 80's move and why.
- huge fondness for Molly Ringwald's dance in The Breakfast Club! But if you meant movie, Dream a Little Dream. It had the Coreys and Jason Robards. Say no more.
7. Your dream getaway.
-Pretty house, pretty walks, water, kitchen, comfy bed, some sort of hottub type arrangement.
8. Milk chocolate, dark chocolate or no chocolate
- I like both but not the last one.
9. A TV show that inexplicably makes you feel happy no matter what.
- Buffyyyy!
10. Are you Laverne or Shirley?
-Too young for that one!
11. Do you dance or stand on the side looking cool?
- Ohhhh I danced.
12. What is your most embarrassing inadvertent character trait?
Woah. Inadvertant character trait? Or physical trait? I have many of both. Physical things are geting my words mixed up, saying the wrong thing without thinking, blushing, trichotillomania...
Character traits - talking way too fucking much without being able to stop. Also the fact that I'm compulsively divulgent, as you can see.
13. Have you ever been truly, wholly, knee-knockingly, heart-stoppingly in love?
Sigh. I hope so.
I love cheese and see... Heidi does too! ;) I am klutzy too, Heidi, I feel your pain. No really. I do! ouch.
T. Your kids always smell like your kids, right. I bet blindfolded in a room full of babies, I could've found mine. Funny .
xoxo

Jo! There are no black ones! bwah! cherry, watermelon, lemon, grape or green apple. oh and now they've gone and added blue raspberry. since when are raspberries blue? but there you have it.

Ha on #12! If you were thinking Bikram, nope, I don't teach Bikram -kind of its own thing- but I do teach hot yoga all around this town.
These are too fun. I wrote my answers before reading everyone else's—and now I'm laughing and I can't remember how to cut and paste. Also, I think my answers are too long. Sorry. (See # 12,) Hold on...
1. What language would you learn if you could learn any language in existence?
Portuguese.
2. One food you would perish before you'd give up.
Sushi—specifically Ikura with a quail egg on top. (Sam refers to this as "bait.")
3. A book you could read over and over again and never get bored.
Getting It Right by Elizabeth Jane Howard. I’d buy a copy for everyone I know if I could.
4. Your favorite flavor Jolly Rancher candy.
Cherry. Duh.
5. A smell you would capture again but can't.
Stock room of the beauty supply store where I worked in high school. It was like every cosmetic fragrance wrapped up in one. But good. I swear.
6. Your favorite 80's move and why.
Apartment Zero. Oh, my god. I love this film. I saw Apartment Zero at The Nuart when it first came out. And then I saw it again at The Paramount Hotel in NYC — they had this obscure film on their very select list of movies you could watch in the rooms. Now, I own it. I don’t know what it is about Hart Bochner and Colin Firth—or the darkness of the shots. The dreaminess of the neighbors. Okay, I know. I’m a voyeur, and I love the way this film gets into the lives of even the unimportant characters. Because really, nobody’s unimportant.
7. Your dream getaway.
Here.
8. Milk chocolate, dark chocolate or no chocolate.
Tequila.
9. A TV show that inexplicably makes you feel happy no matter what.
Entourage. Any scene with Ari.
10. Are you Laverne or Shirley?
I’m Laverne, but I have an A on my chest instead.
11. Do you dance or stand on the side looking cool?
I get pressed up against the wall by the payphones.
12. What is your most embarrassing inadvertent character trait?
I apologize for things I haven’t done, or that aren’t really my fault. Ooops. Sorry.
13. Have you ever been truly, wholly, knee-knockingly, heart-stoppingly in love?
Every single day.
XXX,
Alison

1) German. I'd like to go to Germany and would like to not be a total blathering tourist while I'm there.
2) Bacon.
3) That's a tough one - I rarely read anything more than once, even the books that I think are amazing.
4) Don't think I've ever had them. Jujyfruits were nice though.
5) *mind goes blank*
6) Off the top of my head - Midnight Run. It's funny, and the two main actors are brilliant together. I think I've seen this more times than I've seen most films.
7) I need to see space before I die. Or, if there are no rockets available, text here
8) Milk chocolate, with occasional dark (minimum 70& cocoa, the darker the better).
9) Anything with monkeys. Though I suppose there's nothing inexplicable about it. They're monkeys.
10) I've heard of them, but... I've got no idea!
11) I sit in the corner, hiding.
12) I can get quite mumbly.
13) No.
ste! I was just wondering about you and where you were. Truly. Ooh, spooky.
The monkey thing makes me think of one of the best memories from when I was younger. One night I heard my stepfather laughing so loud it was like a howling. It made me giggled two floors up. So I followed the noise, down from my bedroom to the first floor, through the kitchen, down the basement steps into the rec room where he was watching Taxi with my mother. An episode with an Orangutan. Apparently he (still does, fyi) finds them amusing.
XOXO

1. What language would you learn if you could learn any language in existence?
Italian. I love the way it sounds.
2. One food you would perish before you'd give up.
Probably burritos.
3. A book you could read over and over again and never get bored.
No fiction is grabbing me that way right now. I'd have to say Classic Home Desserts by Richard Sax. In addition to awesome recipes there are all of these great sidebars filled with wonderful baking stories.
4. Your favorite flavor Jolly Rancher candy.
Watermelon.
5. A smell you would capture again but can't.
The green, citrus-y scent of cologne spritzed on the sun-warmed skin of a boy from long ago.

When Harry Met Sally. Is that in the 80's? I love that it's all about the dialog.

A fall weekend in New England.

Milk. I used to love dark, but now I really groove on milk chocolate.

Jane and the Dragon.
10. Are you Laverne or Shirley?
Shirley, more often than not.
11. Do you dance or stand on the side looking cool?

12. What is your most embarrassing inadvertent character trait?
I'm indecisive. Sometimes I talk too much, and other times far too little.
13. Have you ever been truly, wholly, knee-knockingly, heart-stoppingly in love?
Yes. Truly, madly, deeply, sweetly.
Yay, it's SV! I do feel your too much vs. too little pain. Been there. Done that. Have a tee to commemorate it.
WHMS is the 80s and the best orgasm scene ever, I think :D

Hi Sommer.
You noticed I hadn't dropped in lately? How nice!
And of course your stepfather still finds primates amusing. You never get tired of that stuff.
Late to the party, as always. Really, it's a family trait. Honest.
okay...you asked for it, here goes....
1. I want P3 to have it's own language. All made up so we can talk anywhere and no one but us will know what we're talking about. Oh. Wait. I think we might do that already.
2. umm. Potatoes. No. cheese. Wait, no, potatoes. Umm. you really expect me to pick ONE? Ok. fine. Cheesy Potatoes.
3 ~ Sir Walter Scott's Ivanhoe. Have read it a dozen times at least and still can read it over and over. When all those old english words creep into my writing.....that's why.
4. Grape. cherry. Cherry-Grape?
5. Lilacs on a warm spring night. The combined smell of warm, fresh grass, heady scent of lilacs, and the inherent promise of summer.
6.~ Oh my god. The Princess Bride. ROUS's and "As You Wish" and the Dread Pirate Roberts and "Inconceivable" and ...and...and...how can you NOT love that movie!?!?!
7.I don't know yet. Ask me in two months. Anywhere, I think, that lets me meet new people, experience the world and expands my mind.
8. What am I doing with the chocolate? (obviously the 'no chocolate' is NOT the answer)
9. Looney Tunes. (yes. I'm a child at heart)
10. On what day?
11. I can't dance and I never look cool. sooo....neither?
12. Insecurity.
13. Yeah. Now ask the other side of the question.....did the person love you back?
ah, 12 and 13 got me. i too suffer insecurity, in big dump truck size loads. as for 13, what kind of dingus did you fall for that they did not fall back?
xoxo
S
Yep. Dumptrucks and piles and loads of insecurity. Hate it. Blah.
As for who? ah well. not really important when it all boils down. Some days I think whoever said "better to have loved and lost. . ." was just full of shit ;)
Ok sunshine - I'm a few days behind, but here goes....
1. What language would you learn if you could learn any language in existence?
Gaelic - not very useful but still something I'd love to know
2. One food you would perish before you'd give up.
chocolate
3. A book you could read over and over again and never get bored.
It Had to Be You - Susan Elizabeth Phillips
4. Your favorite flavor Jolly Rancher candy.

5. A smell you would capture again but can't.
My grandparents backyard during the summer
6. Your favorite 80's move and why.
The Pirate Movie - total spoof on the Pirates of Penzance. Musical, fabulous pirates and absolutely chock full of cheesy sexual innuendos - which took me until the age of eighteen to get, but made me appreciate it all the more.
7. Your dream getaway.
Florence Italy.
8. Milk chocolate, dark chocolate or no chocolate
ALL chocolate
9. A TV show that inexplicably makes you feel happy no matter what.
Glee - for sure. I think I'll be a sixteen year old drama queen forever
10. Are you Laverne or Shirley?
Laverne for sure
11. Do you dance or stand on the side looking cool?
Dance like no one's watching - but they usually are - and I don't care anyway
12. What is your most embarrassing inadvertent character trait?
I laugh really, really loud when I'm nervous. It's almost obnoxious.
13. Have you ever been truly, wholly, knee-knockingly, heart-stoppingly in love?
Oh dear lord yes. It's heart breaking too.
pretty full of shit, i'd say. HOWEVER, you have plenty of time to find that love that makes your heart sound like the drum section at a football game.
(and it was not a literal who. no divulging necessary. I am nosy, not rude ;) heh. mostly)
xoxo
S
Angell, I have never seen that movie. Gasp! is that possible? I too laugh loud and nearly obnoxious. MUWAH!

Re: Star Trek: Old School, TNG and Deep Space Nine
Wow - I guess I'm the one that shows up when the party is over and wonders where everybody went! Let's see...
1. What language would you learn if you could learn any language in existence? --> Japanese
2. One food you would perish before you'd give up. --> Perfectly ripe wild strawberries
3. A book you could read over and over again and never get bored. --> Atlas Shrugged - Ayn Rand. Actually, any Ayn Rand.
4. Your favorite flavor Jolly Rancher candy. --> Green apple
5. A smell you would capture again but can't. --> the smell of sex contained within a car 'cause you've got nowhere else to go
6. Your favorite 80's move and why. --> I tried but it's a tie between The Lost Boys and Labyrinth. Stricly for the men - David, Keifer and Jason. I desperately wanted to be the gypsy girl, Star, in The Lost Boys for a long time. :)
7. Your dream getaway. --> Japan, to immerse myself in the art/craft.
8. Milk chocolate, dark chocolate or no chocolate --> dark chocolate all the way.
9. A TV show that inexplicably makes you feel happy no matter what. --> *blush* MythBusters
10. Are you Laverne or Shirley? --> Kinda half and half, which ain't good.
11. Do you dance or stand on the side looking cool? --> I dance. Usually after a drink or three, liquid courage you know.
12. What is your most embarrassing inadvertent character trait? --> I have the ability to forget almost anything instantly, no matter how important. And I have memory for faces or names either. If I remember you, you must really be something!
13. Have you ever been truly, wholly, knee-knockingly, heart-stoppingly in love? --> Yes, absolutely, totally.
Yay! It's May! I have issues with number #12 also...what was the question?
