the post in which you view a picture that may result in your death from an overdose of AWWWW.

Filed under: stuff — meg @ 10:17 am

Okay. HOW CUTE IS THAT.

I love basset hounds because…

a) they look depressed all the time, yet they’re not… they’re just relaxed-fit
b) half of them look broken in this picture
c) they enjoy slides
d) they have giant, floppy ears — just like me!

But basset hounds are not the point today.

The point?

INTERACTIVITY!

YAY!

It’s time to answer some questions and do some stuff! And things!

  1. Tell us the name of the song that defines your mood or attitude today.
  2. Tell us the last thing that totally and completely startled you.
  3. Tell us a word you’d rather we not use around you.
  4. Tell us who you’d like to surprise you in a Whole Foods.
  5. Tell us the meaning of life (oh, hell… I thought I’d try… )
  6. If I gave you $20 right now (and no, I’m not giving you $20, I need my $20, I don’t own any shoes and I need gas money), what would you spend it on?
  7. Who would you like to play you in the movie of your life?
  8. Who should play ME in the movie of my life (which would be dull and shown only on Cable Access)?
  9. How do you feel about sushi?

    Well, you asked:
    1.) “We don’t wanna, we’re Nirvana.” Yes, i know it’s a lyric and not a song, but i don’t wanna do what i got to do today.
    2.) Naseef, coming into a room behind my back. Does being startled count as aerobic exercise?
    3.) flabbergasted. reminds me of fat farts.
    4.) Shawn Colvin. I think i might actally be able to speak to her.
    5.) 42, or, It’s all about the love.
    6.) Ice cream and cookies.
    7.) Jamie Lee Curtis, because i want to see how i look with boobs.
    8.) Rachel Weitz or Carrie Ann Moss
    9.) Love it.

  4. Wandering Willow Says:

    I want to snuggle all those doggies with their warm floppy furry ears!!

    6. Chocolate layer cake with fudge icing.
    7. Jane Fonda or Linda Hamilton (The Terminator) ’cause I sometimes hear that I look like both of them. Which is slightly almost kinda barely true.
    8. Julia Roberts… Not that you look like her, but she could capture your fun and laughter and seriousness and heart. Not too many actresses could do that well.

  5. Ashley Says:

    1.Tell us the name of the song that defines your mood or attitude today. “Road to Nowhere” by the Talking Heads. Every day that I wake up and come to this job that song should just be playing on a loop in the background.

    2.Tell us the last thing that totally and completely startled you. Last weekend while sitting on my couch in only my underwear someone tried to break into my apartment at 4:30 in the afternoon. I jumped up, threw myself agains the door and asked them what the hell they though they were doing. They mumbled something and ran off. By the time I found clothes they were long gone.

    3.Tell us a word you’d rather we not use around you. It begins with a C and is not very nice.

    4.Tell us who you’d like to surprise you in a Whole Foods. I have never *gasp* been in a whole foods. But I suppose I would like to be surprised by the prize patrol giving me millions of dollars in any location.

    4.Tell us the meaning of life (oh, hell… I thought I’d try… ) Read “God’s Debris” by Scott Adams. It is available for free dowload as an e-book if you search for it. Then we’ll chat.

    5.If I gave you $20 right now (and no, I’m not giving you $20, I need my $20, I don’t own any shoes and I need gas money), what would you spend it on? Well, I had to spend 20 bucks today to get my stupid Nevada Driver’s license. A California citizen for nearly 25 years, I would classify this as a downgrade, so maybe your 20 wouldn’t be the replacement money but rather the alchohol money.

    6. Who would you like to play you in the movie of your life? Samuel L. Jackson. I am 5′2″, female, white, and blonde. Awesome, yes?

    7. Who should play ME in the movie of my life (which would be dull and shown only on Cable Access)? Drew Barymore. Not so much in resemblance but you are both sweet hearted and dedicated to finding your own way in the world. You are also both cute as buttons.

    8.How do you feel about sushi? I want it RIGHT NOW please.

  7. desiree Says:

    I did 4 twice.

    Also, good show on the 42s.

    1. Tell us the name of the song that defines your mood or attitude today.
    You Put A Spell On Me, Nina Simone

    2.Tell us the last thing that totally and completely startled you.
    Two compliments received by email (from the same person, a writer) who said my writing impacted him (and he was glad of that) and I had soul-piercing eyes.
    Neither of which I believe, but still. Nice to read. :)

    3.Tell us a word you’d rather we not use around you.
    I can’t tell you, because you probably don’t like it either.

    4. Tell us who you’d like to surprise you in a Whole Foods.
    We don’t have Whole Foods here. But I’d have to say YOU. :)

    5.Tell us the meaning of life (oh, hell… I thought I’d try… )
    Do the best you can with what you have in the time that you’re here.

    6.If I gave you $20 right now (and no, I’m not giving you $20, I need my $20, I don’t own any shoes and I need gas money), what would you spend it on?
    Probably books. Or most likely I’d spend it on veggies at the grocery store. And toilet paper. :)

    6.Who would you like to play you in the movie of your life?
    That chick who playes Barbara Jean on the REBA show. She’s totally me. Or vice versa. Whatever.

    7.Who should play ME in the movie of my life (which would be dull and shown only on Cable Access)?
    Soleil Moon Frye. Don’t ask me why. It just SHOULD BE. :)

    8.How do you feel about sushi? I’ve only tried it once, and it was fairly yummy. I’d give it another go.

  9. Darren Says:

    1. Song defining mood: “Accidentally Kelly Street” by Frente! (note the crucial exclamation mark). It’s been a good week.

    2. Startling moment: Birth. I’m kind of a stoic.

    3. Unwanted word: ‘moist’

    4. Surprise person at Whole Foods: Someone offering to do my shopping for me.

    5. Meaning of life: Find yourself in the service of others.

    6. $20: Go see two Fringe shows. I’m doing that already, but now it’s cheaper.

    7. Play me in a movie: Philip Seymour Hoffman.

    8. Play you in a movie: I believe I’ve already covered this.

    9. Sushi: I like it because it’s bite-sized and served asynchronously.
