Narcissus likes the number 50.

I need to do a meme, ergo I do a meme. (Please don’t make fun of me for my one-worded Latin prowess. Ok, and tempus fugit, so let’s get to it!)

Questions that I don’t feel like revealing my answer to will instead have a :smiles: if it’s a happy thought and a :frown: if it’s a sad thought.

Thanks to cajunvegan for giving me something to write on my blog today!

1. You have 10 dollars and need to buy snacks at a gas station. What do you get?
Fountain soda Coke, salt and vinegar potato chips, and a 5th Avenue. (In NYC that would just about cover it…)

2. If you were reincarnated as a sea creature, what would you want to be?
A red-haired mermaid. (Good answer, cajunvegan!)

3. Who’s your favorite redhead?
Um… me?

4. What do you order when you’re at IHOP?
I’ve never been to an IHOP.

5. Last book you read?
SANS GCIH certification manuals.

6. Describe your mood.
Busy in the brain. Got a lot of stuff mulling around up in there.

7. Describe the last time you were injured.
Injured… hmm. I suck at remembering this. I dunno.

8. Of all your friends, who would you want to be stuck in a well with?
Dawg and I just talked about Baby Jessica (McClure) Monday night! Ha! Ummmmm… I’d rather that Dawg rescued me from the well, so I’d want to be stuck down in there with B since we always seem to have a lot of catching up to do and inside of a well seems like a great place to do that.

9. Rock concert or symphony?
Rock concert.

10. What is the wallpaper of your cell phone?
A photo of Dawg leaning over in my apartment while Ripley walks around on his back.

11. Favorite soda?
Fountain soda Coke.

12. What type of shirt are you wearing?
My bedtime Dawg-scented shirt. The current one is the GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN 9-11-01 shirt.

13. If you could only use one form of transportation?
Transporter/teleporter.

14. Most recent movie you have watched in theater?
The Happening.

15. Name an actor/actress/singer you have had the hots for.
Hmm. Do I tell you the one that always pops into my mind or do I give it careful consideration and offer you a thoughtful response?

John Goodman.

16. What’s your favorite kind of cake?
Cheesecake and flourless chocolate cake tie for first place.

17. What did you have for dinner last night?
Turkey kielbasa pan fried in vegetable oil and maple syrup sitting on top of a bed of white rice.

18. Look to your left, what do you see?
This question again! Ok, not sooo far to my left this time: Dawg Bear (aka Love Rider Bear) sitting all alone, and a sleeping Georgie. Sweetie Bear is at the foot of the bed. Apparently Dawg and Sweetie had a tiff today that I wasn’t made aware of…

19. Do you untie your shoes when you take them off?
No.

20. Favorite toy as a child?
Hmm. My markers. (Avi, shut up.)

21. Do you buy your own groceries?
I love grocery shopping, although I think the Saturday experience might make Dawg beg to differ. I almost killed an entire family in front of us who were using the 14 items or less self checkout as their vacation oasis.

22. Do you think people talk about you behind your back?
Yes.

23. When was the last time you had gummy worms?
I don’t recall.

24. What’s your favorite fruit?
Strawberries.

25. Do you have a picture of yourself doing a cartwheel?
This would imply I can actually do a cartwheel, which I can’t.

26. Do you like running long distances?
I have exercise-induced asthma, undiagnosed. But, I’d like to see anyone successfully tell me that feeling like I will simultaneously puke, have my lung pop out of my chest, and die anytime I run isn’t exercise-induced asthma.

Sugar on snow is France’s pastime.

Blue (dark or light, but always blue).

Peonies.

30. Do you do ballet?
No.

31. Do you listen to classical music?
Not anymore. When I was a kid I went to sleep to it and woke up to it and Mom took me to a ton of classical music concerts. But… it’s just not really my thing anymore.

32. What is the first TV Theme song that pops in your head?
“My Farm, doo doo doo doo, My Farm” which is totally Michael Buckley’s fault, and I’m not sure that’s a real song.

33. Do you watch Sponge Bob?
No.

34. What temperature is it outside right now?
Hot degrees.

35. Do people consider you smart?
Some consider me smart, some consider me unsmart. I’m not quite sure why there is such a varying opinion on my intelligence level. For the record, standardized tests indicate I am more than average in the intelligence department, but I often say incorrect things out loud and have trouble with basic concepts.

36. How many piercings do you have?
If the damn holes in my ears would ever decide to close up completely I’d have none.

37. Are you signed on [to] AIM?
Not currently, no. I used to be all the time, but if I have social networking tools available to me I tend to not get stuff done that I really need to get done.

38. Have you ever tried gluing your fingers together?
Yes, actually.

39. How do you feel about your family?
That’s a loaded question. I feel :smiles: about some and :frown: about some others.

40. Do you have an iPod?
Yes, one I was given bought myself for my 30th birthday.

41. What time do you go to bed?
After I hang up with Dawg. That time varies, but in the 12am-ish area.

42. What CD is currently in your CD player?
:frown:

43. What movie do you know every line to?
If you’re hyperbolizing then I’ll go for Groundhog Day. If you’re not hyperbolizing then I have a very poor memory for exact details.

44. What is your favorite salad dressing?
Blue cheese.

45. What do you want for Christmas this year?
:smiles:

46. What family member/friend lives the farthest from you? Where?
Mom and Stepdad live in Tennessee. B lives in Texas.

47. Do you like hugs?
No. I LOVE hugs. But only from certain people. Raise your hand if you weren’t previously aware of the NO TOUCHING THE POPPY rule.

48. Last time you had butterflies in your stomach?
:smiles:

49. What’s the way people most often mispronounce any part of your name?
My blog/NYC name: Poopy (haaaahahaha, yah, just get it out of your system)
My given name: Stef-fanny (don’t you even fucking do it or I’ll kung fu you in the goods)

50. Last person you hugged?
Dawg — Monday morning at approximately 6:10am. And I won’t get to hug him again until Brittcon. Ouch. :frown:

Random fact #51: I am infatuated with grape juice popsicles.

Carry on, unicorn lovers.

  1. John Goodman? He’s from around here, I eat at what used to be his restaurant and is now mostly a bar all the time.

  2. I will try to remember the No Touching Poppy rule at BrittCon. However is alcohol gets introduced into the foray, I cannot guarantee my brain will remember. you have my full permission to push away at will upon drunkedness commencement.

  3. I can’t believe you’ve never been to an IHOP! And, hahahahahahaha to other answers.

    I know Latin, too. Caveat Emptor!

  4. Let’s hear it for fountain Coke! I’ve always wondered if I was the only one…

    John Goodman, huh? I don’t know why, but I get that. I do.

  5. Would it be pushy of me to demand an email explanation of the link to your TOTALLY AWESOME SHIRT!! in response to that particular question?

    Because, y’know, I don’t want to be pushy.

    And also? I’m starting to think you don’t really live in France….

  6. I’ve never been to IHOP, either.
    Also, my ear piercings won’t close, either. The last time I wore earrings in them was when I had to remake (not really) a hole when I was in my friends wedding back in… ’94?! Damn things!
    John Goodman is cool.
    Poppy is cool.
    Poppy is very smart.

    :smiles:

  7. I love how I write 51 pieces of information about me and everyone gets stuck on the John Goodman thing. I can’t help myself!

    BEE-bzzzzt, then she and I will have plenty to talk about when we all have drinks together someday.

    Empanada, if you get the opportunity to talk with him please tell him Poppy ZOMGLOVESHIM says hi. (But not hiiiiiiii!, cuz… um, heh. That’s reserved.)

    cajunvegan, no Waffle House either! France has nothing good. Except a Denny’s that thinks it’s a pancake house. Best effing pancakes I’ve ever had.

    Rache, EWWWWWWWWWW!

    Cissa, Britt hugged me while drunk. I let it slide because she’s soft and stuff and we already have an established hugging relationship. That rule is really more for people trying to cop a feel under the guise of a hug.

    Avi, well, too bad the guy who just bought my house doesn’t know Latin. :grins: (WOOT!)

    Finn, my love for the fountain soda Coke borders on perverse. My love for John Goodman is much less.

    Britt, I totally snuck that in there to make you comment since I hadn’t heard from you in a few days. :grins: Poppy is tricky. But, I’ll totally email you in a minute.

    Sybil, WE ARE TWINS!

    Wah, yes, people who want to be kicked in the crotch are weird.

    Bucky, EW!!!! hehehehehe!

  8. WTF do you mean you haven’t heard from me in a few days???

    I am here every day! I’m going to look RIGHT NOW!

    :hrmph:

  9. There is a rumor around the blogosphere that I have seen that says not to touch the Poppy.

    I only like to be hugged by certain people also.

  10. You’re going to think I’m crazy (what else is new?) but I’d bet my last dollar that you do not have undiagnosed asthma. I’m betting you have undiagnosed reflux.

    My daughter had EXACTLY the same problem, and it was wicked reflux we never knew she had. No other symptoms at all.

    Get thee an upper GI and tell me if I owe you my last dollar. Srsly.
