why hello!
I’m writing the longest post ever, but I don’t have time to finish it! Yay!
Well, eventually I will.
Just not now.
SO!
Three questions.
If you see this entry and do not answer the three questions, you will develop an unsightly rash. It’s like a chain letter!
Which is something I always wanted for my blog!
1. Would you like some tea?
2. What is your favourite street in the world?
3. If you had an entry on Wikipedia, what piece of false information would you want included? Until some editor caught it, that is.
July 31st, 2007 at 6:36 pm
1. Yes, please. Rooibos, if you have.
2. Blvd St-Germain. Paris.
3. Dunno. But if I say you look great in your sidebar photo, can I be exempt from this question?
July 31st, 2007 at 6:54 pm
1. Earl Grey decaf please
2. Hemlock, in Cannon Beach, OR
3. My well known, world-wide reputation for integrity
July 31st, 2007 at 7:09 pm
1. Would you like some tea?
Mmmm, yes, definitely. Feeling a little fragile right now, so mint or chamomile and a big soft couch to go with it.
2. What is your favourite street in the world?
This is hard. I really, really like the South Bank in London. Not a street, precisely, but it’s close. At sunset in the summer with someone you love it’s everything London should be.
3. If you had an entry on Wikipedia, what piece of false information would you want included? Until some editor caught it, that is.
My height. I’ve always wanted to be 6 ft. At 5 ft 10.5, that 1.5 inches really bugs the shit out of me. I’d totally bribe all editors to let that small inaccuracy slide.
July 31st, 2007 at 7:22 pm
Sleepytime Tea please - (only if it works) and a bit of honey.
My favorite street is one I haven’t been on yet. But I know it’s in France and has a cafe on it. Doesn’t that narrow it down?
False info? About me? How about how incredibly fit and well-organized I am. Or that I invented the Internet (when I was in jr high).
July 31st, 2007 at 7:27 pm
Sure, I’d love a cup of tea. What kind are we having? Being a minimally travelled sort, I would have to say that my favourite street in the world would be a little back lane in Key West, lined with palmetto trees and mist sprayers, leading to a tiny cafe that sells frozen Key Lime Pie on a stick (Key West, Florida). And Wikipedia? I don’t really understand why an encyclopedia (of sorts) would have inacurrate information….but that’s just me. Is the tea ready yet?
July 31st, 2007 at 7:51 pm
1. No, thank you.
2. Currently I am partial to State St in Madison, WI. But at Christmas time there is only Fifth Ave, NY for me.
3. I would like my Wikipedia entry to award me the Pulitzer Prize, however fleeting it may be. (Note: I do not have the journalism career that I imagined at 23 that I’d have by now either.)
July 31st, 2007 at 10:22 pm
1 Chai tea, please
2 Julia Street in New Orleans, because it’s got my name and because I’m too young to get away with saying that Bourbon Street is my favorite
3 I’ll have to think about this one a little longer
August 1st, 2007 at 12:09 am
1. Ginger Mint today, Green tomorrow.
2. Old Tete Jaune Road, Tete Jaune Cache, BC. It’s where I spent my childhood.
3. I can’t think of anything, really. But perhaps I would tweak the Saudi Emir’s royal lineage so that I would be included as a distant nephew. It’s a little discreet, maybe hard to detect for the first 48 hrs., but still worth it. I think..
August 1st, 2007 at 1:06 am
1. No, thank you.
2. Sesame!
3. Hrm. That I can tie a cherry stem in a knot with my tongue.

3. If you had an entry on Wikipedia, what piece of false information would you want included?
How about - I am immortal, I have inside me blood of kings. I have no rival, no man can be my equal. Take me to the future of (mumbles, I can never work out that bit). Yes, I know that’s the theme to Highlander: the series. So? It could also be true.
August 1st, 2007 at 6:21 am
1. Yes, peppermint! Or Constant Comment.
2. Chesapeake Drive in Ocean City, MD, because that’s where our beach house is. Close second — Wise Road in Washington, DC. It runs through the park and is named for my great-grandfather.

I would love an iced chai - it’s going to be 95 degrees here today!
2. What is your favourite street in the world?
It’s a toss up, either the street I grew up on and where my parents still live or Summit Avenue in St. Paul, MN.
3. If you had an entry on Wikipedia, what piece of false information would you want included? Until some editor caught it, that is.

August 1st, 2007 at 9:16 am
1. Would you like some tea?
Sure, mint please, with a little cream and sugar.
2. What is your favourite street in the world?
Miller Road, here on Bowen Island, B.C., because whenever I drive down it, it means I’m at home and I can finally relax. It winds through my gorgeous little neighbourhood and is lined with douglas fir trees that somehow all seem to shed their needles onto my car only!
3. If you had an entry on Wikipedia, what piece of false information would you want included? Until some editor caught it, that is.
Triscodecaphobia:”The fear of triscuits!”- Friends.
They are really sharp, but I love them anyways!

3. Awards for fantastic things I’ve accomplished, and other fantastic things that I can’t think of at the moment.
August 1st, 2007 at 12:30 pm
1. Would you like some tea?
-You know, I wish I could go back in time a few hours and gracefully accept your tea offer instead of this americano I just finished. I’m having a rather hard time focusing… Earle Grey with a splash of cream and a teaspoon of brown sugar, mmmmm. Just enough caffine sans the jitters.
2. What is your favourite street in the world?
-North Rd on Gabriola Island. It’s called “the Tunnel” because there are so many gorgeous trees for several kms.
3. If you had an entry on Wikipedia, what piece of false information would you want included?
-”Prolific and highly organized singer songwriter.” The singer songwriter part is true.

2. Haven’t been there yet and everyone has mentioned some great places so far. Can I go to all of them and compare?

August 1st, 2007 at 1:12 pm
1. Green Tea methinks.
2. Whyte Avenue, Edmonton probably. After that, Main Street, USA, Disneyland.

August 1st, 2007 at 9:13 pm
1. yep, make mine Oolong

1. Yes please. nothing froofy or herbal. just tea with milk and more sugar than is advisable please.
2. Strangely, I am the second person to say State Street in Madison, WI. It feels like home, it feels like Granville Island, it feels important and trivial it feels refine and profane and all the while it feels like the midwest.
3. Is evil for no apparrent reason - like Stefano Dimera.
August 4th, 2007 at 5:07 am
1) Yes, please. Whatever you’re pouring.
2) Ususally whatever road I am on, but if I need to nail one down it’s Rue Lepic, near Montmartre, in Paris.
