What are your deal breakers in a relationship?
The bar has been raised ever since my ex-husband. There was a time, pre-him, that all I wanted was someone to love and to come home to. I wanted to bake cookies and have someone appreciate them. I needed a snuggle buddy. A partner that would stand by me. The rest was really quite negotiable.
Then I learned that the bar needs to be raised. You need to go for your highest expectation. As even if you find someone to bake cookies for, they might generally suck because eating your cookies, a good man, does not make.
I compare all men to my Norwegian friend. He came, conquered, snuggled and left. He was beautiful, smart and caring. He listened to me. Not only did he do all that but he worshipped me with an understanding that the more you gave me, the more I would give back. This man showed me that there may be some men out there that actually use their brains and bodies properly (not as some sex symbol or over-orgasmic piece of equipment).
The deal breakers are people I don't find attractive. People I wouldn't be willing to have sex with. Men that can't be honest with themselves, let alone me. People that don't eat cookies. Guys that tell me they'll, "help with that weight problem." Someone that can't talk to me. Someone that looks at me as if I'm an alien and that it's a bad thing. Someone that doesn't understand Zodiac signs. A man or woman that is too horny to do anything but. Someone that doesn't dig art. A person that can't kiss worth shit. Dare I add anyone under the age of 23? I haven't decided firmly on that one yet, but it looks like a good idea.
As a moral to this story I have to tell you that if you desire someone to just enjoy your company, cookies and want snuggles you need not reach farther than a good friend. To continue talking like Yoda, good friends a husband does not usually make. If you want to be appreciated, you don't want a partner, you want a best friend. Give it a try and if you can't find one, look me up.
What words make you giggle (no matter how old you are)?
Submitted by Margurette.
Just today at dinner I was sharing with everyone that I can't eat "pulled pork" without laughing.
What item(s) do you have to prevent yourself from buying at the grocery store?
Submitted by Places Unknown.
Well I am an odd duck. i have to prevent myself from buying shrimp and steak, because I can't afford it. You'll more likely see me trying to stay away from buying too much of a good thing.
If we're looking for bad stuff then it's soda pop. I stopped drinking it a very long time ago and only with my latest job was I getting back into being addicted. My boss loved to bring me way too much junk. I love Root Beer or, better yet, White Birch Beer (usually only found on the east coast). So when I pass through the junk isle and I see those A&W root beers in the bottle I can't get away fast enough. I want. Oh I want so bad.
Where do you go to get away from it all?
Submitted by Hops.
Well, if I told you that you'd show up to get away from everyone else. Soon you'd tell your friends and then they'd tell their friends! Soon you'd be there right next to me and then your mother would show up! Not that there's anything wrong with that. Then we'd have so many people in our special private place that we'd have to open up a Starbucks and then we'd be about as special as every other special place people talk about on this mud ball of a hurling piece of land.
What are the positive and negative associations that you and those around you have with blogging? Have attitudes changed over time?
If about ten years ago I was a little more famous than I am today you'd know me as the queen of the blog instead of The Internet's First Super Star. I'd like to think that I was one the leading members of original blog culture. Now, that may or may not even be true, but who can tell since nobody really knows! I know for certain that I used the first ever popular blogging tools. And before I knew there were blogging tools, I was doing it on my own writing it up and posting it on my website. I am pretty sure that I blogged before blog was a word. Many of us had. You just don't hear about us. All we know now is that everyone has a blog everywhere, famous or not. Blogging is cool and it's something even people in Iraq do while the bombs are bursting in air.
That being said, I have seen the world of blogging become what it is today. Most certainly the attitudes from it and within the blogosphere have changed. Back when I started blogging it was a rather silly thing to do. Posting your thoughts or opinions on a website when not only didn't anyone ask you to, but nobody was paying you to do so either!
This goes side by side with the evolution of using the Internet in your daily lives. Remember when it was considered ridiculous to check your email the moment you got home? Now people can't wait to get home to do that, they have their email linked to their cell phones! Now everyone considers the Internet a very important part of their lives and blogging is viewed in the same light.
The popularity of blogging has made it harder to do as far as a career. Everyone has a blog (or a journal) and since most humans say the same shit it's not really that important. Arianna Huffington is saying the same thing Rosie O'Donnell is saying and they're saying what I've been saying for years, so it doesn't really matter who is saying it because someone always will be. People choose to be a fan of either or both (or all of us), but it's a choice. Just like milk. It all comes from the same fucking cow, it just depends on which container you prefer it to be put in.
I think blogging is a good thing. I think we all should share our thoughts, emotions and daily pictures on our blogs. I think the first thing you should do after living your life every day is recording it. I have always felt that the Internet has made us all more real and perhaps that's why. It lets us share it all with little to no consequences as long as you are a law abiding slightly normal citizen of planet Earth. It's nice.
Tell us about an event that changed your life forever.
Submitted by Miss Scotch.
There have been two people that came along with events that changed my life forever. My best friend Necroraven showing up in my life to do the Blogathon was one. She showed me how to be a crazy person with control over my life.
The second one is my very good friend Wonder Woman. I can't say that any friend has replaced any other, but Wonder Woman is the second person to have such an effect over me. It has turned me (again) in the right direction. At a time when I figured out how to be "a mature adult with many irons in the fire" she has shown me how to do all that, but keep being crazy / in control / freaking fabulous.
Sure, everyone that enters my life has changed me in one way or another. Everyone is a guide tool that (no matter if we notice or not) changes our flow, if not just a little. Most of my friends have added to my life enormously, however Necroraven & Wonder Woman could be compared to an earthquake in San Fran (just with a better turn out, of course).
I'm like a bouncing ball in life. I am who I am and when it is time to grow or change, I will hit a person or thing and suddenly I'm a cooler bouncing ball than I was before.
Which household chores do you most/least enjoy?
Submitted by falcon.kmc.
I HATE MOPPING THE FLOOR. I LOVE DOING LAUNDRY.
Oh, hello. I'm back. Again. ;)
What is the greatest compliment you've received?
Submitted by Maraschino.
It's when people of all ages tell me that I've inspired them to live or made them think differently. That really means something because that's something I actually try to do on purpose. I love it. Oh that and when my lovers tell me that I'm the best they ever had. Hah! I love that line. Tell me lies. Tell me sweet little lies, baby!
If you could open a restaurant, any kind you want, what would it look like and what's on the menu?
Submitted by A is for Amy.
Oh it would be fabulous! It would be something very interesting (of course). It'd have to be called The Elitist Dining Club. We'd serve only the best meals from each culture. Like the only thing that would be available under the Italian section would be Pizza and Chicken Parmesan. Under Chinese you could only get the best General Tso's known to man. Mexican? Burritos made by real Mexicans (the only way a burrito should be made)!
Hot wings, bacon cheeseburgers, chicken fingers and salads with lots of meat & cheese on them. Real french dressing too! Oh and you'd have to be over 21. No damned kids. It'd be 100% smoking so if you can't stand it, get out. The only thing on the non-alcoholic drink menu would be water with lemon, root beer and Shirley Temples. Everything else would be booze. Lots of booze. Best bar & restaurant in the world.
Oh and when we say it's Hot n' Spicy ... it really will be hot n' spicy. None of this pansy ass hot sauce stuff. We'll be using the real deals. Mmm. I can see it all now!
