The ABC's of Me Me Me

And...we're back to meme season. That's okay...who doesn't just love to talk about himself? (Wait...you! In the third row! YOU don't like to talk about yourself?? Get the fuck outta here, yer killin' me!) *sigh!* Onward...

A- Available or Single: Aren't these the same thing? Uh...taken for 10 years, married for (almost) 5. Yowza!

B- Best Friend: Eric Anderson. (I know...boring answer.)

C- Cake or Pie: Cake. Always cake. My great-grandmother's Mississippi Mud Cake. Chocolate cake with coconut mixed in, topped with a pint of marshmallow creme, then with chocolate frosting. An 8x14 pan of it weighs about 5 lbs. Heavenly.

D- Drink of Choice: I'm kind of a dude: I likes me a White Russian.

E- Essential Items: (Hmmm...quote George Carlin?) "Money, keys, comb, wallet, hankie and a condom." No, no, not really. I usually have my pocket digital recorder handy; keeps music ideas from slipping away, and I don't have to call & sing into my own answering machine. Also I always carry a hair thingy...you know, a ponytail tie. And...um...yeah. Kiss CD's? Moving on...

F- Favorite Color: Tie between Prince purple and 70's VW orange.

G- Gummi Bears or Worms: Bears. The red ones, natch.

H- Hometown: When? Important kidhood in Auburn, high school in Cass City, college in Mt. Pleasant and E. Lansing, summers in Vassar, now in St. Johns.

I- Indulgence: Cigarettes.

J- January or February: Fuck...NEITHER! Suckiest months of the winter, at least in Michigan. Then again, January in Akumal this past season was pretty nice...

K- Kids: One daughter, Roslyn, due to show her pretty face in mid-July. Can't wait!!

L- Life is incomplete without: The people I love, and who deign to love me back. (Gah! Syrupy!) And KISS! Oh, and SOFT PORN! Yeah.

M- Marriage Date: June 1, 2002.

N- Number of Siblings: Technically? Two, half. Brother Mike & sister Patricia, by my father & his first wife. Last seen at funeral of said father, uh...(thinking)...Groundhog Day, 2003. People who act like it? Three: my friends Eric & Mike, and my aunt Deb, who is fewer than 5 years older than me. Honestly? Zero: I'm a spoiled only child, and I generally act like it.

O- Oranges or Apples: Both. I like oranges in the winter (a scurvy preventer, perhaps?) and apples the rest of the time. Hard, crunchy ones, like Gala, Fiji, & Cameo. None o' that "Red Delicious" shit.

P- Phobias/Fears: Spiders (slowly overcoming), heights (slowly overcoming), and just a touch of agoraphobia. Not bad...but, after a little while in the company of lots of people or close crowds...I need a charm break.

Q- Favorite Quote: "Fun? FUN?!? Y'know Danny...I once banged two stewardesses on a 747 at 30,000 feet. THAT was fun! We had...a FUN time!"

R- Reasons to smile: Tess' belly dancing (the apostrophe is a possessive, implying that I like to watch ROSLYN dance in Tess' belly...NOT that Tess belly dances!), the cat when she tries to turn herself inside-out, the opening riff at a Kiss concert, and good times with friends & family. (AHHH!) And porn!

S- Season: Yeah. Summer. Next.

T- Tag Three: Mike, Suze, and Jenn.

U- Unknown Fact About Me: Wow...I'm pretty much an open book. Um...I like really corny, slickly-commercial country-pop music sung by women?

V– Vegetarian or Oppressor of Animals: I eat meat...and, I go veggie. I like to think of it like Jefferson said: "Think of meat as a seasoning, not as the main course." Well, now, with only 10 weeks left, Tess is gettin' a little iron deficient, so she pretty much told me "You can just sort of keep cooked steak on hand, for me to gnaw on..." YEAH, baby! Grrrr!!

W- Worst Habits: Correcting other people when they speak (geez, and I TRY so hard not to do it!), social smoking, and unintentionally aggressive driving when some mother-fucker PISSES ME OFF!

X– X-rays or Ultrasounds: For WHO?! I guess I really don't want an ultrasound...but, then again, I don't want an X-RAY either! I liked seeing Roz on the ultrasounds, though...

Y- Your Favorite Foods: Mississippi Mud Cake and White Russians! (WOW, would that be rich!) No...um...pizza? Cab-Sauv? (Wine is a food group, right?) Dark chocolate (with little cacao nibs), pasta, ice cream, cheese...wow, and heart disease runs in my family! Hmph.

Z- Zodiac: A killer in L.A. some years ago. Gee, I didn't know there was, like, gonna be a QUIZ! Sheesh.
