Interview Questions
OK, I’m lazy and I copied questions from 2 Hot Chicks
But they’re really good questions! Here you go, girls:
For Brea :
1. Describe yourself using one word for each letter of the alphabet.
2. What’s the most fun you’ve ever had with your clothes on?
3. Describe what’s on tonight’s dinner menu if food is you and your personality.
4. A mad billionaire scientist offers you $500,000 if you will gain 25 pounds. The only catch … not only do you have to gain the weight, you also have to hang on to it for at least 5 years. If you fail, you have to give all the money back (with interest). What would you do?
5. What do you want for breakfast, and how do you take your coffee?
For Raspberry :
1. you’ve been transformed into a man. You will only stay this way for 24 hours. What do you plan to do? What do you hope to learn?
2. What’s the most generous thing someone has ever done for you? What about it was meaningful?
3. You notice three people standing before you. One is your son when he’s a 21-year old man. The second is your mother when she was pregnant with you. The third is yourself when you were 12 years old. You are allowed to say a few words to each of them before they vanish. What do you say?
4. How long do you have to know a guy before you feel okay about farting around him? Explain.
5. You see before you three unusual cocktails.~ The first is a Potion of Love. If you drink it, you will meet your perfect match, fall blissfully in love, and live happily ever after.~ The second is a Potion of Success. If you drink it, you will be extremely successful in your chosen vocation and earn the admiration, respect, and sometimes envy, of your colleagues.~ The third is a Potion of Wisdom. If you drink it, you will feel at peace throughout your life, regardless of the difficulties you face. Irrational feelings of doubt and fear will be a thing of the past.Which potion will you drink? Why?

#1
I have to agree with Omni on this one, definitely the artist gift.
I love to create and be creative, and it would be cool to be able to do it well.
I kind of hesitated at the beginning when I read this question, as none of the fame of the other occupations really appealed to me. I would like to live somewhere close to nature and just do my thing. And leave the novel writing up to DJW. *wink*
Simple as that.

the answer to #1 is gonna have to wait...
'cause I'M GOING SURFING!!!
Here's the question, in case anyone else would like to ponder it:
1. Your Fairy Love Goddess graces you with a magical swat on the rump with the Little Red Riding Crop and you suddenly have one singularly exquisite talent.
Choose from the following:
You develop a set of pipes that elevate you to SupremeHot Chik of all Hot Diva Chiks.
You write a novel that makes James Joyce crawl from the grave to bow at your feet.
You become the greatest thing to happen to the dance world since Michael Flatley.
You create physical works of art that set all the hottest galleries in an all-outbiting-scratching-hair-pulling war over you.
You grace the stage with stirring dramatic performances that leave devoted audiences breathless with each and every flawless locution.
Which talent do you choose and why?
See y'all in May
Stay Sassy

3. Every woman has a piece of jewelry that doesn’t have a high market value, but it’s priceless to her. What piece of jewelry is yours? Why?
I don’t really have a whole lot of jewelry, period. I bought myself some diamond stud earrings for my birthday the year I left my husband- I almost always have them in. The piece that means the most to me is a silver ring with a little green stone, which my friend Sylvia gave me. Sylvia and I met in Turkish class my second year in Germany. I had gone to a special 3D ultrasound with her one fine spring day, and it was the day we found out what sex her twins would be. To celebrate we went shopping, and I bought her a ring that was almost identical. She then surprised me by giving me her ring. I have often put it on when I feel I’m going to have a challenging day, in some way to channel her energy and strength. She is one of the most courageous women I have ever known, raising those babies so well all on her own. I feel sad that I have lost touch with her and so many other friends I made while I was living in Germany. But we’ll always have a connection in our hearts, and I have her ring to wear on tough days.
2. Describe yourself using one word for each letter of the alphabet.

4. A physically unattractive man approaches you with a proposition ... I know, eye-of-the-beholder, ya-da, ya-da, ya-da ... Needless to say, you're certain he lost a fight (face-first) with his lawn tractor. He offers you $500 per day for 7 days to pose as hisgirlfriend. There’s no hanky-panky and no kissing. All you have to do is go out with him, hold his hand in front of a few people he knows, and try to make it look realistic. Would you do it? Why? Why not?
The answer to this is very simple. You should be able to tell by my second-to-last post that my world is currently being rocked by one chivalrous Prince. There would simply be NO TIME (and no desire) to pretend to be someone else’s girl. And how sad of him to have to pay someone (although that is quite a big chunk of change)… Nope, wouldn’t do it. Even if I was single.

Interview Question #5
I'm gonna do it backwards, 'cause that's the way I read newspapers & magazines too. And cause it's my blog and I can do whatever the hell I want. Heh.
5. You’ve won your fantasy vacation (all expenses paid), but you only have 15 minutes to pack and call a friend to water the plants and feed the cat while you’re gone. What are the absolute necessities that MUST go with you? You only have time to pack 20 items before the limo comes to take you to the airport,
HURRY!!! ……………… (btw, where are you going? And, do they have lots of hotties there?)
20 things I'd take with me on vacation if I only had 15 minutes to pack
1. clothes
2. underclothes
3. shoes
4. toiletries
a) cosmetics
b) shower stuff
c) sunblock
d) everything else
5. camera & film
6. music
7. player for said music
8. reading materials
9. address book
10. dear diary
11. writing/drawing utensils
12. hat
13. If there's room, rollerblades
14. money, passport
15. condoms
16. jacket
17. keys
18. sunglasses
19. vitamins
20. trusty water bottle
... and I'm out the door!!
I have gotten awfully good at packing over the years. I used to have nightmares before trips that I had overslept, forgotten to pack, and was in a mad dash out the door, stuffing my suitcase as I went. Now I have what I need in my head and *try* to be a little more organized about things. Hey, this list will come in handy as I madly pack my bag Wednesday night... (hee hee).
I'm going to the Island with 23 other girls to take a surfing lesson, visit my girl, and RELAX.
Oh, and where would I be going on this fantasy vacation? To Greece, to explore the islands and feed my very own personal hottie peeled grapes in my toga.

*my heart just did cartwheels*
There isn't any formula or method. You learn to love by loving- by paying attention and doing what one thereby discovers has to be done. -Aldous Huxley
blog it forward
I got the idea from Raspberry and Mike , two of the first bloggers I came to know in person at the very beginning (I might venture to say 'conception') of my blogging existance.
I was on a trip to Vancouver with my friend S and his friend R.
The former I met on my first journey into the whole *gasp* online dating jungle, and the former encouraged the latter to start one of his own. As he did Megan, a very talented young lady who happened to be in Rome when the Pope died the week before last. Also, the author of a online/offline column in our city's newspaper.
So (enough beating around the bush here), the idea is: present three people who you link to, and why.
Well, there's Shan, also a blogger I know 'for real', in fact we took in a photography exhibition a few weeks ago together.
And ValancyJane, who inspires me on a daily basis with her quirky outlook on life.
Theresa and Lu just plain kick ass. As I was going over there to snag the URL, I noticed that I have been posed some most interesting interview questions. I have homework to do this weekend, kiddies!
Hmmm that's three already. But there are so many more!
Miss Fee , I believe it's the furthest away, geologically. Aberdeen's resident lesbo lovin' Britney crushin gal pal. She's a riot.
As is Green Fairy , on the other side of the pond. Pretty sure she's straight. ;)
Melodee is an amazing Pastors wife with 4 kids. And this woman has me laughing my ass off, out loud, all the time.
Whew! Well, now you know some of my regulars. I think that's quite enough for now, should keep you busy for awhile. Feel free to share yours.

Thanks, Geza (who sent me this)
legacy.
across the seas and sands of time
Ive met alot of friends of mine
and as the the tides ebe and flow
Ive had to watch them come and go
when sorrow felt from days gone by
Im lightened when I close my eyes
and feel the light within my heart
its beauty fuels all new starts

damn I'm good
Ladies and Gentlemen, it's Tapas Time!
Here I sit (does one sit, really, on one of these inflatable rubber balls? It's more like a bouncing/rolling motion). Depending on the music that's currently playing, that is.
Well, my first stop on this my very first unadulturated maiden voyage this year through this thing we call the web was a reggae radio station I really recommend it, btw...
But now I'm hearing the thump of Missy through from the main floor, as I abandoned my dinner plans in haste as inspiration had finally struck me.
Stay tuned as the best house sitting gig ever continues...

New Links on a Friday
It’s time for some new linkage action!
As I browse through different blogs, I write down the ones that catch my attention, and that I want to go back to when I have more time.
It’s so interesting to have a glimpse into other people’s lives, and be inspired and moved in some way.
Please check the sidebar for some newcomers (under ‘a few more’).
Welcome!

Hothouse at Sass's
Thanks to all of you who attended my party, virtually and in person.
A big shout out to the djs (you guys rock my world!)
I’d say it was a success- about 70 people passed through my door over the course of the day and night.
10 bottles of wine and various spirits were left behind.
14 empty cases of beer await a trip to the recycling depot.
The broom had to be screwed back together from limboing before we could sweep the floor.
I’m a tired but a happy camper.
And my house has been warmed.

I'm a fool for April
It's my "I don't live in the basement anymore" party!!
Actual excerpt from an email I sent around the office today:
"Happy April Everyone!
I'd like to propose a toast...
To our awesome sales this past month!
To the event that spring has sprung!
To... dare I say it?
The Love that is in the air!
I would like to extend a warm welcome to everyone to come and celebrate all of the above at my housewarming party tomorrow.
I would also like to propose that we properly dispose of the pile of Big Rock product that is in the kitchen before it expires... I have the kind permission of Miss D to purchase it at a steal of a deal, and invite those of you who wish to contribute to the fund (any amount is greatly appreciated):
https://www.paypal.com/row/prq/id=OAHc6BZ.FzH18tPTXFeEP0k-XOUMzXgmae5wew
I will gladly take care of the transport and chillage.
The festivities will take place between 2 pm and 2 am at my new above ground abode at:
***********************
Feel free to bring something to bbq, I will have the marshmallows for the fire pit."
I really wanted to have a virtual housewarming party as well, and invite all of my blogging friends to stop by and say hello, but I don't have the internet set up at home yet.
If you happen to stop by, please do leave a comment. If you live in cowtown, do send me an email & I'll tell you the address! Anyone of course is welcome to make a donation to the beer fund!!!
I will, however, endeavor to take some pics and post them early next week.
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
