What did you drink that made you do your last famous Hollywood "spit-take"?
Submitted by LittleGreenBook.
White wine. My then-roommate told me that a local department store was having a going out of business sale and was selling authentic Coach bags for 75% off. I was flat broke at the time. Boo.
Who was your best (or worst) elementary school teacher?
Submitted by Minnow.
Best: Mr. Anderson. Very cool for a Christian school teacher, and very adept at making us understand the material we covered in class. I miss him.
Worst: I wouldn't call Mrs. Bolt the worst teacher I ever had, because she was quite good at teaching, but the fact that she farted willy nilly is what puts her in this category. The woman must have suffered from sort of disease for which the primary symptom is excessive flatulence. She'd fart during English in the morning. She'd fart during Greek Mythology (why the fuck we were learning Greek Mythology in a conservative Christian school is beyond me) after lunch, and she once farted during a student-teacher conference I had with her and another one of my teachers. All the classrooms had desks with wooden chairs, and Mrs. Bolt happened to be sitting in one, lecturing me about not paying attention in class when...well, you get the idea. The wooden seat amplified the sound. The other teacher kind of looked at her, but didn't acknowledge it. Mrs. Bolt didn't miss a beat, she kept on lecturing me and only slightly paused to say "excuse me". o_O
The funniest farting incident involved her farting in my arch nemesis' face. The moment was completely priceless. We were sitting in the back of the classroom, where the storage/supply cabinets were. Mrs. Bolt was bent over, looking through one of the cabinets when she farted without warning, as usual. The girl I hated (Ashley), had just gotten done saying something stupid to Mrs. Bolt and was turned towards her when Mrs. Bolt farted.
Classic, I tells ya.
Do you keep a journal or diary? How often do you write in it?
Submitted by Kim.
I do keep a diary, which I call Zen. I write about things that are far too personal to put online ( moderate discretion is a priority for me). I used to think keeping a physical diary was pointless when I had a million blogs on the internet, but, my opinion has obviously changed and I'm glad that I have a private place to talk to God and express my thoughts, fears, desires, and grievances with him or just myself. I call it Zen because of the profound sense of peace I get after I've written in it. I can never truly articulate how much I enjoy the feeling I get from writing in it. That may seem corny to some people, but it's perfect for me, and that's all that matters.
What comedian makes you pee your pants laughing?
Submitted by pookieb.
Chris Rock and Dave Chapelle. Yes, in that order! The world would be a much happier place if more people would pay attention to these two.
What song best describes your current mood?
Submitted by Section31.
I'm going to show my ethnicity with this one, but, Whatever Happened (To The Brotherman)? by Earth, Wind, and Fire. I just got out of my Judicial Process class, during which we viewed a Frontline documentary regarding the O.J. Simpson trial, and for some reason, that song popped into my head as I left. Seeing the footage of white Americans and black Americans being so divided over the verdict depresses me sad and makes me think there's no hope for true racial harmony or equality. As a black female, I have my own reservations about OJ, his defense team, the media coverage, and the trial itself, but, I'm not in the mood to share. Eh.
Windows, Mac, Linux - What's your preference and why?
Submitted by ramblingsbymark.
Windows, even though I'm about to make the switch to a Mac. I refused to consider making the switch until Apple licensed Microsoft Office for their computers. I'm loyal to Bill Gates, always have been.
Did you dress up today? See any good costumes?
I didn't have the funds or the creativity to come up with a good costume this year. I plan to change that by next Halloween, haha. As stupid as this may sound, one of my classmates dressed up as a giant Elmo, and it scared the shit out of me when I first saw her. I'm not usually afraid of Sesame Street characters, but that shit definitely caught me off-guard.
What's your favorite restaurant?
I can't just pick one; I have two favorite places.
1) Pappadeaux, because I love anything Cajun/Creole. As is the case with my favorite things and places from back home (Dallas), Pappadeaux doesn't exist up here. I'd kill for some red snapper, fried alligator tail, and Snicker's cheesecake right now. Yummy.
2) Shogun. Sure, it's expensive as hell, but I love hibachi. Shogun's food is awesome, especially the fried ice cream. I hate the fact that I'm too lazy to make the hour-long trip to OKC to get it. There is a hibachi place here, called Kyoto, but I have yet to visit it. Eh.
What TV show(s) will you be watching this season? Why?
Submitted by ducnly.vox.com.
The entire CW roster looks very, very, so incredibly lame, but I'm still going to stick with my UPN favorites nonetheless: Veronica Mars & Girlfriends. Of course, I'll be watching Supernatural, the only WB show in recent memory worth watching. Other than those three, A Haunting (Discovery Channel) Grey's Anatomy, CSI (Vegas and Miami, but not NY cause it sucks), and Desperate Housewives. Eh. What can I say? I don't watch TV that much.
What's the last thing you crafted, constructed or created yourself?
Other than working on my website, and unless organizing a room counts, I haven't created, crafted, or constructed much of anything. Web design does count, but I've been doing it so long that it's routine for me ogle code and stare at Photoshop for hours at a time.
