And so, to distract herself from dark thoughts....

[gurdymonkey]

....she did this meme thingy: 

 

1. Do you like blue cheese? Yeah, baby! The stronger the better.

2. Have you ever smoked cigarettes? No. Not since I won that bet with my Dad that I could smoke an entire bowl of Amphora pipe tobacco. (Won the bet, lost the contents of my stomach, which was probably what he had in mind.)

3. Do you own a gun? I own a longbow. And a fustibalus. I have at least fired black powder weapons, but I've never tried modern fire-arms. I'd be interested to do so, but I don't feel the need to own one.  

4. What flavor Kool Aid was your favorite? We did the Pillsbury version, with flavors like "Goofy Grape," and "Loudmouth Lime." There was also a Hawaiian Punch period at one point.

5. Do you get nervous before doctor appointment? Yes.

6. What do you think of hot dogs? I'd rather have a brat.

7. Favorite Christmas movie? Tossup between Joyeux Noel (which I stumbled over earlier this year) and a quirky little Scottish film called Comfort and Joy.

8. What do you prefer to drink in the morning? Tea.

9.Can you do push ups? A couple, hating every second of it.

10. What's your favorite piece of jewelry? Probably my green amber earrings.

11. Your favorite hobby? Who says I have to have a favorite. Stupid bloody meme!

12. Do you have A.D.D.? No. 

13. What's one trait you hate about yourself? My weird-ass self esteem issues.

14. Middle name? Ann

15. Name 3 thoughts at this exact moment?
This meme isn't distracting me as much as I wish it would.
I'm thirsty.
The helicopter noises from the vicinity of 880 appear to have stopped. 

16. Current hate right now? Stupidity.

17. Favorite place to be? It changes.

18. How did you bring in the new year? Went to a dance ball and held up the wall most of the evening.

19. Where would you like to go? Japan.

20. Name three people who will complete this. That is their business.

21. Do you own slippers? No.

22. What shirt are you wearing? Teal polo.

23. Do you like sleeping on satin? Flannel, baby!

24. Can you whistle? Sort of.

25. Would you be a pirate?  We hang their kind. 

26. What songs do you sing in the shower? I don't.

27. Favorite girl's name? Helen. 

28. Favorite boy's name? Michael.

29. What's in your pocket right now? Nothing.

30. Last thing that made you laugh? One of the guys at work came in looking all badass with his shades and tattoos and my boss (male) said, "Hello, Cupcake!" to him.

32. Worst injury you've ever had? Popped a ligament in my left knee.

33. Do you love where you live? Mostly. This apartment is awesome in a lot of ways. It would be perfect if I had a bathtub instead of a stall shower, and a bigger living room so I could actually entertain more than two people.

34. How many TVs do you have in your house? Just the Gaius Auklandus Memorial Monolith, 32 inches and 150 pounds of electronic goodness. I had NIGHTMARES about moving that TV.

35. Who is your loudest friend? Wilhelm.

36. How many dogs do you have? None.  I rent, you know. I do, however, get my pet fixes when I visit friends with cats, dogs or even bunnies.

37. Does someone have a crush on you? If so I wish he'd come out and DO something about it. I do, however, have a semi-rabid fan base.

38. What is your favorite book? Still looking for it.

39. What is your favorite candy? Dark chocolate with ginger.

40. Favorite Sports Team? Jersey Devils.

41. What song do you want played at your funeral? I've decided I am never going to die, because some damn fool will decide to write something that renders me down to a stereotype involving monkeys to put on the f***ing West Kingdom "In Memoriam" page, while some other damn fool decides to name some retarded A&S challenge after me, while yet a third damn fool decides to hold a bardic circle to sing my favorite songs - only nobody who shows up actually KNOWS any of my favorite songs so they default to "In The West," at which point, my angry shade will have to appear and Get All Ju-On On They Asses.

re #41 - if I outlast you, I'll hack into the 'In Memoriam' page and write graffiti all over it. And I'll go to the bardic circle long enough to sing .. oh wait, 1. I don't sing, 2. I don't sing. ok, I'll skip the circle part.
In return, will you go to the wake I won't be having because I won't leave enough money to buy booze for it? Make them play Amazing Grace on the bag pipes and sing Danny Boy. And after everyone cries, make sure at least 2 drunken brawls occur.
yes, I'm way to lazy to do the whole stinkin meme.

I'll lead the chorus on "Danny Boy." And at least one brawl.

[joycebre.livejournal.com]

in that case I'll get Vittoria to help me and we'll do the grafitti on your website in Latin. :-) It's the least I can do.

If you collate the songbook of your favourite songs before you go, I will make certain that they get sung at your memorial bardic, should you check out before I do. I know people who sing period stuff...

[gurdymonkey.livejournal.com]

There will be no memorial bardic because I am not going to die. Ever.

[karisu-sama.livejournal.com]

Neither am I. But just in case.... XD

[shalmestere.livejournal.com]

I don't want you to die any time soon, but...

...my angry shade will have to appear and Get All Ju-On On They Asses.

...I would love to see that :->

Will you settle for this in the meantime?

[Quietly scraps plans for the Crazy Stuffed Monkey Lady Memorial Bardic Challenge in which all entrants are required to sing "To The West".]

Ok - I need to come up with Silver Spoon categories for next year. Since you ain't dying anytime soon (or ever), we'll just have to do the retarded A & S challenge now. Look it up and wear something you can brawl in to the event. I think the category should be the Jehanne memorial food: Japanese monkey sotelties, with a presentation requirement: present food while singing the lyrics of Danny Boy to the tune of To the West. Perhaps Spring Investiture? Spring Coronet would be outdoors, but the brawl would be more effective indoors, so Investiture would be it...

I bet it would make it onto the history site.

Hmmmm.

Of course! I can hardly wait! Bring on the dancing boys and the bacon cheddar potato skins.
