Can you see the real me? My LiveJournal

This has been going 'round LJ lately, and I kept thinking I'd already posted it, but I actually posted to Tribe. So, for posterity and such, though I'm late to the party, so late half the people have gone home and the other half are too drunk to talk.



I agree with [info]miss_mimsy, it seems to have been made by a 16-year-old. Tops.



1. Is there anyone on your friends list you would ever consider having sex with?

Yes, and have.



2. Sex in the morning, afternoon or night?

Generally night, due to scheduling more than anything else. Nothing like a morning when no-one has to be anywhere anytime, though!



3. What side of the bed do you sleep on?

Usually the right, when lying face up. Sometimes the middle.



4. Pork, beef, or chicken?

Yes, please! Actually, fish, if it's from a trustworthy source. My stomach is the canary in a coal-mine of stomach bugs.



5. Have you ever had to pull over on the side of the road to puke?

Once, yes. I had an acquired lactose intolerance which I discovered on the way back from dining out.



6. Have you ever taken your clothes off for money?

No.



7. Shower or bath?

Quick shower to get the worst grime off, followed by a long hot bath with scents and bubbles and turning on the hot tap with my toes to prolong the relaxation, followed by a rinse in the shower. But usually just a shower.



8. Do you pee in the shower?

No.



9. Mexican or Chinese?

Usually mexican, for a very Californized value of Mexican. I like the melted cheese.



10. Do you want someone aggressive or passive in bed?

Why limit myself? Both have their enticements.



11. Do you love someone on your friends list?

Several someones.



12. Do you know all the people on your friends list?

Tribe Answer:

There are two people on to whom I haven't spoken in person. One works Dickens and I will figure out who she is and introduce myself, some year, maybe this. One is a former teen idol, which I did not realize for over a year.



LJ Answer: No, I've probably met about 3/4s of them IRL. LJ lends itself to reading interesting friends-of-friends and people of whom one is a fan.



13. Love or money?

Wouldn't give up love for money, both would be nice.



14. Credit cards or cash?

Debit cards. And cash. Carrying cash and staying away from ATMs is the first step to a healthy budget.



15. Has there ever been anyone in your family you wish wasn't?

Not really.



16. Would you rather go camping or to a 5 star hotel?

I like to sleep comfortably and take long baths.



17. What is the weirdest place you have had sex?

On a BART train. Or behind a waterfall.



18. Would you shave your entire body (including your head) for money?

Would have to be a life-changing amount. Maybe a hundred thousand (If it were, say, a million, I'd be wealthy enough to be charmingly eccentric.) I'd do everything but the head for a thou or so.



19. Have you ever been to a strip club?

Yes, the Nob Hill Male in the early '90's. Not sexy.



20. Ever been to a bar?

*A* bar? No. Is this one of those memes that started in a high school? (Actually, I don't do much time in bars, but I have been to several.)



21. Ever been kicked out of a bar or a club?

No, though I and my party have been asked to quiet down in a few restaurants.



22. Ever been so drunk you had to be carried out of somewhere?

No.



23. Kissed someone of the same sex?

Who hasn't? Seriously. Has anyone on my f'list NOT?



24. Favorite drink?

In winter, peppermint hot chocolate, in summer a combo of mint, green and black iced tea.

As for alcohol, Bombay Sapphire, rocks or in any of several combinations. However, the sweeps' MaiTais are an impressive pick-me-up



25. Had sex in a movie theater?

Bill Clinton would say I haven't.



26. Had sex in a bathroom?

Yes, though not a public one.



27. Have you ever had sex at work?

No, despite the urging of several sig-Os. I can't think of anything less titillating.



28. Have you ever been in an "adult" store?

Yes. Again, has anyone on my f'list NOT?



29. Bought something from an adult store?

Yeah.



30. Have you been caught having sex?

Yes.



31. Does anyone have naughty pics of you?

Does the Dark Garden window count?



32. Have you ever had sex with someone and called them the wrong name?

No. Only called somebody the wrong name in an argument, I think.



33. Who do you think has the guts to repost this?

Buncha people already have!

So, we went to a Harry Potter themed party (with the lyrics of the Hogwarts School song as our version of the invitation-requested "Harry Potter Themed Performance Art." And everyone sang!)



Catherine wanted to be Ginny Weasley, so I loaned her a striped sweater of mine (the one I wore to be Betty Cooper at the last Toon Town Hop. It's got comic-book colors AND is Weasley-ish), but didn't dye her hair red.



I decided to go easy on myself and be a wizard trying to pass as a muggle. Polka-dot housedress open over sweater and capris, with a scarf tied around my head and decorated with earrings. I explained my concept to Catherine, and she ran to her dress-up box and brought me a polka-dot scarf, a feather boa and a lei!. I knotted the scarf as a tie with our hostess-provided paper clip portkey as a tie-tack, wore the lei as intended (though not over a sweater and a polka dot housedress) and wore the boa as a belt.



The point of the story? I LOVE THAT KID! She gets it!

Re: Buying & Dying (in What to wear to the Dickens fair!) Check the color with Costume, but I'd bet that the Oxblood/Maroon would be PREFERABLE to (not-so-)-"classic black." Colors were much more in for gentlemen before the end of the century. Anyone with official approval status here to back that up?

Re: new and lost (in What to wear to the Dickens fair!) The short answer is DON'T EXPECT TO WEAR A BALLGOWN! How you dress depends a lot on the character you plan to play, but Fezziwig's is an office Christmas party/block-party rather than a full-blown ball.

The answers above are correct. Ask at t... read more

Re: GreatGlam.com... (in Cybele's total random craziness) I dunno, I'd kind of miss the Ilianowear ads if I went premium. Of course, I've never been to burning man, don't do the club scene, etc, so I can convince myself that they're just silly art projects, not clothing meant to be worn on actual humans!

Re: New Italian restaurant opening on Webster (in Alamedans Not-So Anonymous) I haven't tried Acquacotta yet, but at a certain point, gas (or BART/the O and Muni) and travel time figures in--maybe it comes out worth the extra to not have to leave the Island just for dinner.

Look Above, Look Below

I was puttering through a mutual friend's f'list, trying to find someone who sent me a message that I accidentally deleted, and ran across someone's name. I've been keeping her from "living rent-free inside my head," but figured I'd check in to see if she was getting on with her life. Imagine my surprise to see my husband, who promised no contact, referenced.

I leave you to guess who posted the following entry.

Hey, dear Dickens-doing darlings. The answers to the two frequently asked questions of yesterday ("Is everything OK?" and "How are you doing?") are "Yes!" and "Great, thanks!"

And thank you for asking.

It was a lovely day out and about the Fair, and I'll post in greater detail later.

Things to remember:

Dahncing!

Gin fight!

Paint.

"Steady, boys, steady!"

I won't be at workshops tomorrow, Kate's school is having their annual fundraiser. By the time I work the food table, watch Kate's dance class' performances, it'll be getting toward the end of workshops, and I'd be getting to the Cow Palace late.

And I plan to spend part of Saturday afternoon buying new hair for Prue (I lost my hair at PEERS! 'S'okay, it was time for new anyway.) and much of the afternoon and evening sewing a new costume for the kid's stage show (Alice in Wonderland)

I am back at home with Steve and Kate. Things are far from perfect between me and Steve, but they are better than they've been in years.

I found myself on the receiving end of many longer-than-usual and fiercer-than-usual hugs at Dickens Fair Workshops. I felt valued and loved and cherished.

Even if you were racing to a rehearsal and only had time to just blow me a quick kiss or to yell "Hi, Beth! Hi, Catherine!" as if our being together was the most natural thing in the world (and it... read more
