Guess where I am?

Guess!

OMG, you suck at this game.

I’m in Orlando. For a conference. :) This day (I mean Saturday, since it’s only 1:18am on Sunday) was filled with very bad omens, including a point where I was double-booked to sit in the lap of a complete stranger on the plane from Philly to Orlando (she was all mad I was sitting in “her” seat which was actually also my seat), but I took them all in stride and am very happy to be here. Still missing all my luggage, but at least I have a warm bed to sleep in, even if no night clothes in which to sleep.

Going to Epcot tomorrow morning first thing. If I ever do get my luggage I’ll take pictures! ;)

Latah, gatahs.

Just another memic Monday VIII

19 and 32 tie for first place and I will not elaborate on why because it’s private.

Just another memic Monday VII

61. Do you “label” yourself as anything?
What does “label” mean? Does that mean wrap myself in Saran wrap? Because that’s fun.

62. Name the shoe brand you are wearing.
How do you wear a shoe brand?

63. Bright or Dark room?
Elvis, baby! (That’d be Dark.)

64. What do you think about the person who took this survey before you?
I think she‘s pretty rad, and yet I still don’t have her in my blogroll. Why is that?

Hay. While we were 69′ing, coincidentally! (Because this is question #69. Keep up, people!)

Lots and lots of Tylenol. I freebase it. I don’t know what freebasing is exactly, but I’m sure I do that.

Just another memic Monday VI

51. Ever had a black eye?
I think I actually have, but from getting hit in the nose or something. Don’t really remember. I do remember being stung on my eyelid by a yellow jacket and consequently being afraid of any type of bee-like creature for the next 10 years. I’m fine with them now.

Bruce Vilanch is kinda gay…”

An entire collection of Skeletor action figures must count for something…

44. Have you traveled to Europe?
Yes. Do I win a prize?!

45. Name three people you would trust with your life:

On my bed, under a boy.

49. Last board game you played?

Just another mem(orial)ic Monday IV

31. Last time you witnessed a fight?
In kicking ass class.

Back to England
Back to Belgium
Back to the Future

35. Do you know how to ice skate?
Intellectually I do, but my ankles don’t receive the message.

Pie. Okay, okay, and this one’s just for Avi because I know how much he loves this (*grin*): Cottage cheese with steak sauce. Preferably original HP.

38. Is bigger really better?
This is a dirty little meme, it deserves a spanking! And the honest to goodness truthful answer for me: It’s not about the length, it’s about the girth and the forcefulness of the motion accompanying said girth. (We are talking about oak trees swaying in the wind, aren’t we?)

39. What do you think of Brad Pitt?
I’m sure he’s a very nice man but I prefer George.

40. Name a friend you have the most in common with:
I don’t really like my friends to have things in common with me because then they’re just like me and that’s boring because I’m already like me. Strive to be different, okay?

Just another memic Monday III

21. Name 3 things you did today:
Well, I just woke up so I’m going for: Brushed my teeth, showered, and got dressed.

22. Last item you bought yourself?
More manna. No, a cookie. Nooo, I guess it was Canadian popcorn which, of course, tastes better than American popcorn.

23. Do you have an ornament hanging from your rear-view mirror?
If a parking permit tag can be considered an ornament, then yes. Otherwise, I whole-heartedly object to dangly objects on my rear-view mirror.

David Byrne (with Juana Molina)
Lindsey Buckingham
They Might Be Giants

27. How many hours of sleep do you get a night?
Eight or nine, depending how late bloggers keep me up at night in IM. :P

28. Have you ever been tied up?
Wow. I’m not sure how that is any of your business, meme, but yes I have been.

29. What do you wish you were doing right now?
I find it best not to lead the meme on by telling it my deepest thoughts.

30. Who’s the first person in your phone list on your cell?
The phone list is alphabetical so Avi is first by his actual first name. (Adam means “the first man” so obviously he’s first in the phone list too. Is anyone surprised?) Directly underneath him is B. Hay is in there somewhere too, but his real name is alphabetically inferior to my best blog friends (including Sour who is listed by her real first name in its cutesy form and Mel who is listed as Mel, duh). Sorry, Hay. :-/

11. Want to have kids before you’re 30?
Since I’m past 30 and only have furry kids let’s just say yes to furry kids.

12. A memory from high school:
I scored the winning touchdown! Oh, wait, my school didn’t have football. How about the memory of trees?

No comment. :)

It’s pretty much a 50/50 thing. If you saw me with my mom you’d say, “wow, you look just like your mom!” and if you saw me with my dad you’d say, “wow, you look just like your dad!” I am more than 100% certain they are my real parents.

16. Something you’ve always wanted to learn how to do:
How to be independently wealthy without doing anything to obtain or maintain it.

17. Still friends with your exes?

Mistress Yoda is doing an eight part meme, 10 questions of an 80-question meme over 8 posts. I am going to copy her by posting 10 questions for the next 8 Mondays. Today is Monday, so here are the first 10:

1. Someone knocks on your door at 2 a.m., who do you want it to be?
Don’t Hassel the Hoff. :)

2. Your boss tells you he/she will give you a $20 raise if you’ll do your job naked. Would you stay?
See #8. $20 is chump change and I have absolutely no interest in showing my boss my bits. I already get paid a ridiculous amount of money in comparison to my co-workers, don’t have kids, buy whatever I want, and do whatever I want. If he asked me to do it for free I might be more inclined… But don’t insult me with a $20 raise. And, really, is that a $20 a year raise, $20 a pay period raise, $20 a day raise, $20 an hour raise? No matter, it’s insulting.

3. Put yourself in a nutshell:
Okay, I’m in the nutshell. Now what? (Man, it’s freaking TIGHT in here…) Okay, okay, I’ll play along. In a nutshell: Complicated. Very complicated. Edit: An even better response would have been, “nobody puts Poppy in a nutshell.” :D

4. Ever seen a ghost?
Nope. But I’ve seen dead people!

5. Happy with your body?
Yup. :) You know why.

6. A reason you would move to Iceland:
Because all the other semi-inhabitable places on the planet were destroyed by zombies.

7. A place you’ve lived that you miss:
Define “lived”. I miss Europe and Québec, although I’ve never lived either place for more than a week.

8. A job you would never do no matter how much you were paid:
If I were paid a billion dollars a day I’d do any job for one day.

9. A band you thought was cool when you were 13:
Def Leppard!

10. You have a nightmare, who’s the first person you think to call?
Ugh. Can’t you just guess?
