-Ology

I'm a little late in joining in with the meme, but I'm lucky to have finished it at all.

Technology

Q: What is your wallpaper on your computer?
Right now, it's a green screen with this photo in the center.


Q: How many televisions do you have in your house?
Ah, well...let me explain. We have three to four people living here, everyone with different interests, so we've got five TVs.

BIOLOGY
Q: Are you right handed or left handed?
Right

Q:Have you ever had anything removed from your body?
One cyst, two babies, four wisdom teeth, and a few splinters.

Q: What is the last heavy item you lifted?
Heavy is relative. Sometimes the vacuum seems heavy, so carrying it up and down the stairs is a chore.

Q: Have you ever been knocked out?
I have passed out twice but never been knocked out by outside sources.

Bullshitology
Q: If it were possible, would you want to know the day you were going to die?
I don't think I'd want to know. I just watched The Bucket List, and when they knew they only had a few months to live, they were so rushed about everything.

Q: If you could change your name, what would you change it to?
When I was a kid, I went through a brief phase of wanting to be called Gail, my middle name. But now I like what I've got, Scout.

Q: What color do you think looks best on you?
Tough call. I like black because it's slimming, but I think I look better in bright colors. I am currently wearing brown shoes with big green polka dots, and they make me happy.

Q: Have you ever swallowed a non-food item?
Not intentionally. I'm sure I have swallowed bugs now and then. To irritate me, my daughter likes to tell me that people unknowingly swallow spiders almost every night while they sleep.

Dareology
Q: Would you kiss a member of the same sex for 100 dollars?
I would kiss a woman on the cheek for free, so if someone were to pay me $100 for that, I'd take it.

Q: Would you allow one of your little fingers to be cut off for 200,000$?
No.

Q: Would you never blog again for 50,000$?
Hmmm. I wouldn't mind the cash, but I kind of like blogging. It depends on how hungry I was or if my kids needed something I couldn't afford.

Q: Would you drink an entire bottle of hot sauce for 1,000$?
Could I mix it with water? If I could dilute it, then yes. Husband once offered one of our girls $100 if she were to eat a hot pepper, so she cut it up into tiny bits and buried each piece in her pizza.

Q: Would you, without fear of punishment, take a human life for a million dollars?
No.

DUMBOLOGY
Q: What is in your left pocket?
At the moment, nothing. My cell phone was in there earlier, but it was weighing my pants down, so I took it out.

Q: Is Napoleon Dynamite actually a good movie?
I've never watched it all the way through.

Q: Do you have hardwood or carpet in your house?
Both—carpet in some rooms, and hardwood in others. I prefer the wood.

Q: Do you sit or stand in the shower?
What kind of stupid question—I stand. If I wanted to sit, I'd take a bath.

Q: How many pairs of flip flops do you own?
I only have one—brown leather from Eddie Bauer.

LASTOLOGY
Q: Last person who texted you?
My friend Joan.

Q: Last person who called you?
Hmm, probably also my friend Joan. We're working on a project which I will show you on Art Day.

Q: Last person you hugged?
Eustacia as she was leaving on a brief senior trip after graduation.

FAVORITOLOGY
Q: Number?
21

Q: Season?
It would probably be autumn, although I appreciate all the seasons. I wouldn't like living in a place that was the same year round.

Q: Color?
Green in various shade, thus the polka dots on the shoes.

CURRENTOLOGY
Q: Missing someone?
Kwanita (yep, that's her name), who is back at school after a few brief days at home, and Carolyn who has moved. Oddly, though, she's back in town, and we're going to have lunch today.

Q: Mood?
Eager. Is that a mood? I've got several projects going on, and I can't wait to get out to the garage to work on the big one, the one which I will show on Art Day.

Q: Listening to?
The clickety-clack of my keyboard and the occasional grunt of my cat who has a smushed in nose.

Q: Worrying about?
Not much.

Q: Wearing?
A dark pink t-shirt with tiny black dots and a pair of dark denim capris.

RANDOMOLOGY
Q: First place you went this morning?
The potty.

Q: What can you not wait to do?
Get out there and get to work with the paint and the ideas that are running a mile a minute.

Q: Do you smile often?
Not too often. I find people who smile all the time suspect.

Q: Are you a friendly person?
I think I'm a very friendly person. In fact, just yesterday someone said I seemed the kind of person who could make friends with just about anyone.

I love that photo, Robyn!

Polka dot shoes make me happy, too.

As for the spiders, now you know that happens, surely you are KNOWINGLY swallowing spiders in your sleep. Which is way cooler to mention in polite company.

Yikes! Don't dilute your chili sauce with water, Robyn! Use milk or yoghurt. They'll take the heat out, while water won't.

Eager is a good mood.

That photo is the best-THE BEST. I can just feel that breeze pushing up that dress.

Loved that Robyn... and I thought you had a lovely smile when I met you.....
Yeah thanks for reminding me about swallowing spiders. It's taken me a good 15 years to forget that gem.

Not sure about the polka dot shoes Robyn, i'd have to see them i think.

I like your smile too. lol at the suspect thing. I suspect i smile a little too much.

I've forgotten the other things, i'll have to go back and look!
Oh yes the babies thing made me laugh! I never think to mention the three babies i've had 'removed' from mine! hehe.

Swallowing spiders in the night. Sounds like a book title; I plan to FORGET that dreadful thought if I can.

Kwanita - not sure about that one!

No More Mr. Nice Guy

It's good to be a nice person--to say nice things, to do nice things, to write nice things--but I declare an end to the use of the word nice. Nice is what you say when you can't think of any other adjective. Someone shows you a picture of their back yard--that's nice. Someone tells you about their afternoon adventure--that's nice. Or someone describes their childhood in great detail and sometimes with painstaking effort--that's nice. It's a lazy word, and it's non-descriptive. Nice is like mashed potatoes with noodles and chicken gravy all in a big pile on one plate with some canned corn for garnish. Everything is the same color and texture and base substance--starch (this is a favorite Amish dish). Nice is like a partly cloudy day in April when outside feels like inside, and you can't tell a difference between the lighting and the temperature of your living room and the lighting and temperature of your front yard. Nice is a glass of lukewarm water. ...

Ish People

Tell an Ish person to show up around 9 a.m., and you'll see them somewhere around 9 a.m. Tell them to show up at 9ish, and you'll see them anywhere from 9:05 to 9:20. You have given them license to dilly dally, and who wouldn't take advantage of that? The other night at the big shindig dinner party, one of the drummers said the rehearsal the next morning would begin at 9ish. "I am an ish person," he says. Immediately the clanker goes off in my head--oh, good, I thought. I can deliver my daughter a little late. No Ish person is early, so if you say 9ish, that does not mean give or take 5, 10, 15 minutes. It's exclusively a taking phrase. Take an extra 10 minutes to drink your cup of coffee. We won't mind. We're Ish people. Sunday's rehearsal started at 2:00. Because it was conducted by the same people who conducted the Saturday rehearsal, my understanding was 2-ISH. My daughter is worse than I am about taking liberties with Ish time frames, so she d...

Long Live Anita Bowser

You know I occasionally check my hometown newspaper's website to scan the obituaries (morbid, I know, but I'm at that age). Over this past weekend, I read the obituary of Indiana State Senator Anita Bowser . She was a noted Democrat who championed causes protecting the neediest in the state's population. She was respected on both sides of the aisle for her intelligence and plain and outspoken approach to law making. The picture on her senate page is lovely. I remember none of those things about Anita Bowser . My first year or so in college was spent at a branch of Purdue University, and in the early 80s, Anita was a political science professor. She taught my American Government class my freshman year, and she was a mess. Somewhere in my old text book, I have a sketch of her drawn on a particularly dull day in class--her hose sagged at her ankles, her slip showed at least half an inch all the way around, her hair had been slept on but not brushed, and her bright red lip stic...
