MY Vast Right Wing Conspiracy

The dreaded 30 things thing

• Posted by Beth on June 11th, 2006 filed in Blogs, General, Stupid    

OK, normally I can’t stand these things, but I’m playing along because the other Cotillion chickies wanna do this. So feel free to ignore it. And yes, I am hiding this below the fold. Cassandra is going to collect all of these so you can find out all the triviata you care to about some of the bestest women bloggers (ever!), and will have that posted on Tuesday.

Rosario Agent Bedhead isn’t doing this, though, because she’s already feeling exposed–her interview is up at basil’s! Go read that instead of my silly list of 30 things.

1. What time did you get up this morning?
Morning? HA! I went to sleep this morning. I got up at around 2:30 this afternoon!

2. Diamonds or pearls?
Both, and preferably lots of them. But given a choice? Diamonds, of course.

3. What was the last film you saw at the movie house?
What the fark is a “movie house???” Who’s the dipshi’ite who wrote these questions?
OK, the last thing I saw at the movie theater was United 93.

4. What is your favorite TV show?
The Sopranos, of course. Other than that, I pretty much stick to the news and the Military Channel, with some History Channel/Discovery/documentary-educational stuff mixed in. I loathe American Idol, but always watch it because it’s fun to mock them.

5. What did you have for breakfast?
What is this “breakfast” of which you speak? OK, the first thing I ate was a whole bunch of Mini Reese’s cups, along with cigarettes and Diet Coke. (STFU, my daughter’s away on vacation. That’s my excuse for today.)

6. What is your middle name?
Sorry, stupid question. I’ll just tell you I have the same middle name that half the English-speaking women on the planet have.

7. What is your favorite cuisine?
Junk food.

8. What foods do you dislike?
Fruit. Blech. Anything slimy or seedy. I can not eat something that feels like live flesh in my mouth. (I am most definitely NOT a vegetarian, though). I’m extreeeeemely picky about taste/sensation–pretty much the poster child of “supertasters.”

9. What kind of car do you drive?
A ten year-old Volvo. Shut up, it’s paid for, it gets decent gas mileage, and it’s safe.

10. Favorite Sandwich?
Roast beef without a bunch of shi’ite (vegetables) on it.

11. What characteristic do you despise?
Lying. Lots of others, which usually end up producing people of the left (immaturity, victim mentality, lack of ability to laugh at one’s self, envy, intellectual dishonesty, arrogance, ingratitude, etc.).

12. Favorite item of clothing?
That changes, but recently it’s been one of my pairs of Citizens of Humanity jeans.

13. If you could go anywhere in the world for a holiday where would you go?
Israel. With a side trip to Cappadocia, Turkey. No, wait. The moon!

14. What color is your bathroom?
50’s pink and black, which is the way the house came. I’m not a remodeler.

15. Favorite brand of clothing?
“Brand?” Whatever. Chanel (sorry, Manolo), but that’s dreaming. I don’t pick by labels, but I guess I can say I stick to certain jeans “brands”–Seven, Citizens, and Joe’s Jeans. Ralph Lauren for regular clothes, Lilly Pulitzer for spring/summer stuff. I spend most of my time in jeans or bullshi’ite-around-the-house clothes (boxers, t-shirts, whatever) though. I’m totally in love with fashion design, even though I can’t buy the stuff I drool over.

16. Where would you like to retire?
Right where I am (although in a bigger house!).

17. Favorite time of the day?
Between 10pm and 2am, sometimes later. I function the best then.

18. What was your most memorable birthday?
I really couldn’t tell you. My birthday is the day after Halloween, and I like Halloween better than birthdays. Best Halloween: 1993, in Turkey, because I had the best Halloween party ever. The next day I turned 27, but I slept off the hangover most of the day.

19. Where were you born?
Not answering because that’s a “forgot my password” question at some websites.

20. Favorite sport to watch?
Football. (Who writes these lame questions?)

21. What are you wearing right now?
Pink scrubs. I love wearing scrubs.

22. What star sign are you?
(Thank God only a few of these left!) Scorpio, and if there were ever anyone true to the description of their astrological “sign,” I’m it. I think astrology is for flakes, although this book is funny!

23. What fabric detergent do you use?
WHO FARKING CARES???

24. Pepsi or Coke?
Diet Coke!!!!!!!

25. Are you a morning person or a night owl?
Didn’t I already answer this? OK, mornings are torture for me.

26. What is your shoe size?
Again, who cares? 8. If you want to buy me shoooooooz, get them in an 8.

27. Do you have any pets?
Two cats–Lucy and Sally. They’re sisters, but nothing alike (cats can carry kittens from two different fathers at the same time). Lucy is a Siamese mix and very, very Siamese looking and in behavior. She’s a funny, strange cat. She’s my kitty. Sally is a grey striped kitty and FAT as a whale, and afraid of everything except for my daughter (and sometimes me). She’s my daughter’s kitty and follows her constantly, enduring what looks to me (and Lucy) like harassment.

28. Any new exciting news you’d like to share with your family and friends?
No. I usually keep my personal life off the internets.

29. What did you want to be when you were little?
A doctor. Of course when I was a teenager and thought I knew everything (as they do), I thought blood and guts were too gross so I nixed the idea and focused more on business/foreign language/government. Turns out I should have stuck with the original plan, because I’d love to be a neurologist/neurosurgeon/neuropsychologist.

30. What are you meant to be doing today?
Whatever. (Buying these jeans or these or these? Shi’ite, now I’m distracted with shopping…oooh, look!)
