Epidemic Meme

That's what KB called it; not sure why.

1. If you could be doing what you really want to be doing for a living, what would it be?

Assuming a level of talent, I think I'd like to be writing.
On the other hand, I like my job, so maybe I'll just keep it. Maybe do more work from home?

2. If you could slap the shit out of any famous person, alive or dead, who would it be?

Bill Clinton. For being so stupid about his personal proclivities. It's not all about you, doofus. And I mean that in a nice way.
[I wouldn't smack Bush; what's the point? He's just beyond help.]

3. What’s the dumbest decision you’ve made in the past 5 years?

Just one? Hah! Not getting myself in better physical shape. Not getting medicated earlier for SAD. Not building this house sooner.

There are too many.

4. Give up one for a year: (good) sex or (good) music.

I could probably survive on mediocre music.

5. Dudes, would you rather have a big dick or a great sense of humor?

So doesn't apply!
I'm quite happy there's no "girl side" to this question, however.

6. So you’ve been invited to an all-expense-paid Blogger Prom in The Bahamas. You’re sitting at the bar on the beach. Which blogger do you want to join you for hours of good convo?

Amy and I already do this, albeit not in the Bahamas....or near a beach.

I'm not picking one, I'm picking ya'll. You know who you are.

7. Which blogger would you most like to cuddle with on the beach? (and don’t defer to your current signif other either. Infidelity won’t count against you. Duh.)

Are we discussing cuddling or "cuddling" here?
To my knowledge, I consistently have only one male reader--the Beast doesn't visit here that often.
So, default answer. :-) No that it's a bad default, thank goodness. [if you could just see my grin!]

8. You’re going on a 5 hour road trip…which 5 CDs do you bring?

I'm too lazy to get up and get them to check titles, so bear with me:

• John Mellencamp--Hits
• At least two of Amy's mixes (same Amy, see why I like her?), the ones with loud, obnoxious stuff on them
• Nicole C. Mullen--I don't know the title; I just got it
• Might Mighty Bosstones--don't know the title, the one with "The Impression That I Get" on it -OR- Everclear--the one with "AM Radio" on it
• Steve Earl--The Revolution Starts Now

9. Would you rather bury your children young or have your children bury you young?

My mother said once, "It's never right for a child to die before her parents." So, I'm quoting KB here: "I hope I never have to bury my child[ren]." It's a fear I have regularly.

10. What’s your biggest insecurity?

Doing something wrong, i.e., incorrectly. Not the big Sin thing, though that's on the list, of course.

11.What’s the first blog you read every day…or however often you read them?

When I go to Bloglines, I usually do my friend blogs first, then check comments on mine, then look over the memes that have come in, more or less in that order.

12. When’s the last time you peed your pants?

It's been awhile. I can't remember.

13. Which was better, your first kiss or your first pay check?

First kiss.

Besides, my first job was awfully low pay, so the check wasn't anything to write home about.

14. Do you have kids? Want kids?

Just one. He's as close to perfect as I stand any chance, or have any right, to get.

At this point, if I want more babies, I'll be borrowing other people's and waiting for grandchildren.

15. You get dropped off at home after the office holiday party by your bitch azz boss that you can’t effing stand…you exit the car and he peels out, runs a red light at your corner and rolls up an unsuspecting midget. The next day the midget watch groups are on TV outraged at the heartless hit and run, and are calling for any witnesses to please come fwd…that half dead midget has a family at home waiting on C-mas presents. Would you take $1000 hush money? $500? $100? A six pack?

Doesn't really matter whether I like my boss or not. If she didn't turn herself in, I would.

16. Live the rest of your life without your eyebrows or your fingernails?

Eyebrows. You can always draw them on a la Joan Crawford, et al.

17. What makes you angry?

Stupidity and thoughtlessness. Together. Separately doesn't anger me, just irritates me.

18. What makes you horny?

Well, that's attractive. The word doesn't.
So, what does: laughter, good conversation, nice eyes (eyelashes are especially good), good kissing. And some other stuff. But this tries hard to be a PG-13 blog, so I'll stop with that list.

19. What makes you nervous?

Crowds of people.
City driving.
Basically, anytime where people potentially stop acting human and start acting like cows or sheep.

20. What makes you smile?

Kids, games, people in love, a well-earned rest and shower after hard, sweaty work.

And, to quote a friend: thee.
