Why am I up this early?!!!

[nycwriters]

... ah well, seeing as I am ... here's a couple of Q's to get to know your warped way of thinking:

1. Coffee or tea person?
2. Dog or cat person?
3. Use one word to describe you.
4. What's the last thing someone said to you that left an impression?
5. Do you consider yourself political? If so, do you like to argue/debate a lot? What are your political leanings and how did you get there?
6. Some idiot comes up to you in a bar ... what's your best "get lost" line?
7. You've done something, now you're in for it! What did you do?! The newspapers have caught wind of it; write the lead (first couple of paragraphs/first paragraph) to the story they're going to run on you in tomorrow's paper.
8. What do you consider your greatest attribute?
9. What do you consider your greatest flaw?
10. What's your favorite quote/poetry line/lyric line?
11. How many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop?
12. What's your sign babeeeeee?!

Uhhh, I guess that's it.

Cheers!

[saskuoch]

1. Depends on the time of day and my activity. In the morning or anytime before about 4 pm if I'm not eating anything, I like a good ol' cup of joe. If I am eating breakfast or lunch, I like black tea with a little milk. For dinner, I prefer green tea. Anytime after 4pm when I'm not eating I like an expresso drink, but made with decaf espresso and non-fat milk, unless I'm studying for an exam, and then I get regular espresso. If I'm studying for finals I also get whole milk because I don't always take care of my caloric needs properly, and I have a rule that says I'm allowed to eat anything I want during finals.
2. I love both. I have two cats and a dog that live with my parents. I'll probably have cats when I stop moving every four months (ah, college) because I don't have the time to care for a dog.
3. High-Maintenance
4. You should never think DNA synthesis is boring. You think it's boring...BOOM! You die!
5. Yes, I consider myself fairly political. I have an opinion about everything, and I like to be right, so I do argue a lot. Sometimes, I just argue the other case for the sake of the arguement, even if I don't believe it. If the other person makes a good point, though, I'm willing to concede a small victory to him. I consider myself liberal (but I do live in Texas), and people who think they should get to keep all their money, even if it was made at the expense of other people, and people who don't think they have a social responsibility to care for all human beings really irritate me. Also, people who like war. My father is really conservative, but my mom and I try to fight it. She was never very vocally political, because she wanted to raise my sisters and I to think for ourselves. So I guess I got there by ignoring my dad and thinking for myself.
6. Um, I've tried pretending to be a lesbian, but apparently that's a turn on to many idiots, so now I just rely on the old ignore-the-idiot technique. Or I give him the evil eye if he doesn't get it.
7. Um, I can't even think of anything I'd do to be "in for it." I'm just a little too much of a goody-two-shoes (If you don't count my complete willingness to run around in partial states of undress...but I've done that, and never made the news).
8. I'm there for anyone who needs me, any time.
9. Verbosity
10. You wanna end war and stuff, you gotta sing loud!
11. The world may never know.
12. Cancer! (Ironically, I'm allergic to shellfish).

[cosmo949]

1. Coffee (no hesitation)
2. It depends on the weather...cats for cold dark nights and the dog for daylight adventures. I'm equal opportunity...
3. Impatient
4. "You're in trouble now..."
5. Not really. My views are liberal to MOR. I stay informed and I vote according to my conscience.
6. No line...I just adlib when the occasion demands
7. Store clerk is rushed to ER after being pushed violently aside by an unknown female shopper in search of pecan pie...
8. My compassion
9. Too trusting
10. Hold my breath and keep the vigil, I watch and wait, for that long-delayed but always-expected something that will happen and change everything forever...OR...A life suffused with love invited and denied, betrayal inflicted or endured,
tenderness given or withheld.
11. Who cares...pass the PIE...
12. Virgo

[bealeblues]

[amanda]

:Blink Blink:

Me?

:eek:

(Voice inside her head: "Remember what you said; listening to other people is your greatest attribute. But it is also your greatest flaw.")

Damn! Oh well.

Thanks all. I had a good giggle and my self-esteem had a good groom after reading that. ;)
And nycwriter, no worries about hitting on me- I've had a few women try to start a fight over me before they asked which side of the field I played on. :rolleyes:

:Sighs: ..it's never the men, though.

[masterofNone]

1. General fear of being labeled a cyber-stalker
2. Over-all age difference hesitation
3. Pervasive desire to continue to enjoy the witty reparte of the board...(aka "don't sh** where you eat")
4. timidity

in short a host of goofy little insecurities and certainly not because of her bright, charming, at times self effacing, philosophically uplifting on-line persona... oh yeah, and the whole 'living on the other side of the world' thing is a problem.

but hell yeah. And she's not alone. The plethora of funny, smart, goofy, wimmins on this board has many a man glad to be heterosexual

[bealeblues]

8. What do you consider your greatest attribute? Brutal honesty

:Blushing:

Well, speaking as one of those wimmins.... happy to be of service. ;)

[lapietra]

1. Coffee or tea person?
Definitely coffee... although I often have tea moments.

2. Dog or cat person?
Kitteeeeeees......

3. Use one word to describe you.
Bodacious. (Which was right up there with "bumptious" - you pick.)

4. What's the last thing someone said to you that left an impression?
That I was a joy to have around and that I brought sunshine to the place. (Go figger.)

5. Do you consider yourself political? If so, do you like to argue/debate a lot? What are your political leanings and how did you get there?
No. I'm very lazy when it comes to politics - don't really pay attention and so my opinion counts for nada, so I say nuttin'.
But I'd have to say I'm pretty much a liberal.

6. Some idiot comes up to you in a bar ... what's your best "get lost" line?
Don't go to bars anymore - but when I did it was usually "Excuse me - I see someone I know."

7. You've done something, now you're in for it! What did you do?! The newspapers have caught wind of it; write the lead (first couple of paragraphs/first paragraph) to the story they're going to run on you in tomorrow's paper.
Ooops. Wasn't prepared for this. I'll get back to you later.

8. What do you consider your greatest attribute?
My ability to learn from my mistakes.

Impatience.

There are too many. Most of my current faves are written by Shakespeare, Jeff Buckley, and Joss Whedon.

11. How many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop?
I'll never know - I always end up crunching.
12. What's your sign babeeeeee?!
Classic Sag.

... my head hurts. Hangover cures anyone? Ouch.


Although for most other ailments, I recommend trying to locate the source of the problem before resorting to medicinal remedies, for hangovers, you know the source, and it's too late to fix it.

Therefore, the best thing ever to take is Excedrin Migraine. It's aspirin, acetominophen, and caffeine in one easy to swallow pill! Consume with lots of water (like alcohol, caffeine is a diuretic). If you can't eat but aren't vomiting, a great home remedy way to get rid of that "ouch, my stomach lining is being digested" feeling is to mix some sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) with water. Tastes kinda yucky, but it will neutralize the acid that is attacking your already abused tummy :)

[amanda]

She's so cute, isn't she?

[NekoPunk]

pfft. who reads those anyway. ^_^

[surflugen]

1. Coffee (its free at work)
2. I love both my Dog and my Cat but the dog loves me more.
3. One word to discribe me? hmm? Dork
4. Last thing that someone said to me that left an Impression. (In responce to me primping in front of the mirror in front of my stuffy boss who just walked into the bathroom. I told him, "I'm thinking of getting my hair cut but my wife really likes my fro") – "Yeah, its a corprate fro"
I didn't know what to think of that statement and went the next day to get my hair cut short.
5. I have no political concerns. I get so confused on the issues and both sides attacking each other that I feel I can not make a true stand and prefer not to guess. Guessing would be the same a not going to vote at all. ( I am sure I will have to debate that statement later)
6. My best "get lost" line "I am married" (even though it would never happen and I don't wear my ring because I lost three in the ocean. It was an accident, I swear!)
7. Now I have done it. Tomorrow everyone will really know that I am Superman. (that is all I could think of. I am so borring)
8. My greatest attribute - my possitive attitude (after my morning coffee) and my ability to get things done on time. (even though last minute)
9. My greatest flaw. - Laziness
10. "My head, it landed, to the sound of cricket bows" Janes Addiction's Three Days
11. How many licks? Two or three licks, then one lick in which you spin the tootsie roll pop on you tungue for about a half a minute, then one more long lick that quickly goes back and forth underneath while sucking on it really hard for about a minute until it accidentally slides over to the teeth to bite down to quickly get to the center.
That last lick may be considered by many as several, but I see it as one because it is never lifted from the tongue to start anew.
12. My sign- Aries
