1. I just got back from a family reunion. It was ok, but I find those gatherings a little boring. Does your family ever have any reunions or annual get-togethers? Do you enjoy them?
No reunions. Annual obligatory get togethers yes. Do I enjoy them? No. Never have before. My idea of being in a roomful of prejudiced, loud, and drunk people is not my idea of fun.
2. A gal I work with told me that when her husband's drivers licence comes up for renewal, she swipes it. She says he won't ever pose for pictures and that's the only way she can get a photo of him. Is that not creepy? Are you a picture person? Do you like taking photos, and having yours taken?
I used to love taking pictures and being in them. I have albums upon albums of photos. But three years ago I became VERY camera shy. I HATE having my picture taken or seeing a picture of me. I think it has been about the same amount of time since I last looked at my old pictures. I freak out if someone snaps a pic of me.
3. Time for show and tell: post a recent photo of yourself!
Since I am at work in an office with no webcam...can;t do it. Ha ha ha.
4. I have a cousin I always knew as Jay. As he got into college, he began to go by Greg. Turns out is name was Greg, Junior. Jay was short for Junior! Can't blame him for changing it. Did you ever have a nick-name growing up? How did it come about? Did you ever give anyone a nickname that stuck?
I have a LONG list of nicknames that people have given me just because of certain funny situations or because they felt like it. The longest lasting one is Camel Boy (which was shortened to Camel last year). I actually compiled a list of them. One friend used to give me a different name each day. I love having nicknames.
5. Since I don't have cable, a friend promised to send me a few episodes of "Trading Spaces," the show where folks redecorate someone else's home (and I'm still waaaaiiiting on that tape). But that got me to thinking about how I'd change my own house if I were able. And the room I'd do first would be the bathroom. If you could design the bathroom of your dreams, what would it be like? Spare no expense!
Oh Crispy Jeebis. I am seeing fur, neon green, dark purple, black, and lots of plastic (kidding on the last part). I like taking a shower in the dark sometimes so it would have adjustable lighting. Something about it is very surreal and cool. I do like candles and incense, so gotta have room for that. I like those furry/shag mats for the floor. Stainless steel ware on the sink. Ornate mirror. I think that'll do it. Yeah.
6. I've been trying to catch up on the early seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer in re-runs, though I've been told to buy the DVDs. But I think I'd rather borrow them if I could. But there are a few television shows I'd like to own on DVD (like "The Flash" and "Max Headroom"). What shows (if any) do you own in a video collection? What TV shows would you like to see collected on DVD or video?
Will and Grace. The Golden Girls. Gimme a Break. Fame. Transformers (altho they are now). Thundercats. Roseanne. Misfits of Science. A HUGE collection of 80s Saturday morning cartoons (Silverhawks, Care Bears, He-Man, Snorks, Fraggle Rock, and many others)
7. I recently watched "Chitty-Chitty Bang-Bang" again, first time since I was little. It held up pretty well, unlike some movies that are better in your memory than they are when you see them again (like "E.T." good movie, but for me, better as a memory). Do you have any favorite movies from your childhood? Do you think you would still enjoy them if you watched them today?
I was always in front of the TV watching movies. I can;t think of specific ones that I saw then that I watched again today. I used to watch Jackie Chan movies obsessively. And a great BBC comedy series called Allo Allo
BONUS: Don't you know you're sleeping in a spotlight?
Yes I do. Hence the formal attire and costume. I'm ALWAYS ready to perform.
