I disagree with some of the questions on a few levels - in one, they ask you what the color orange represents in a dream. That's completely subjective and not qualifiable. I also dislike that they rate musical knowledge based on knowing terms. The cartoon's pretty appropriate, though.

You know how sometimes people on your friend's list post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when are they working THERE? Since when are they dating HIM/HER? since when???" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification because it seems like info you *should* already know? It happens to all of us sometimes.

Please copy mine below, erase my answers putting yours in their place then post it in your journal! Please elaborate on the questions that would benefit from elaboration! One-Word-Answers seldom help anyone out :)

And dammit, I managed to not watch Project Runway so I could watch it after my shift and damned if they're not showing some fucking America's Next Top Model rip off!

I google cheated on Indiana, Iowa & Connecticut

So, it's been an insanely busy past couple of days. I spent my entire SecondJob shift catching up on LJ since Monday afternoon. I have 44 emails to read and many more to answer. Oy. The worst part of today? It was caffeine free. I'm only now getting the withdrawal headache (awesome).

So, I give you my metric ton of linkspam:

I can name 44 Asian countries in 10m 0s

I'm not going to lie to you, I google cheated a third of those. I mean, who remembers Kyrgyzstan?

Terry Pratchett?! NOOOOOOOOO!

Similarly, someone else is finishing the last Robert Jordan book. I'd care, if I was still interested in spending the next 5 years rereading all 11 of those.

Note to Self: Don't be a tool like Carson Daly.

Similarly, MTV workers strike (We declare shenanigans = best sign ever)

I was tagged to post 4 true things and 1 not so true thing.

Guess which one is not so true:

1.) I have spun dog hair into yarn as a favor for a friend.
2.) I don't like pork from the crockpot.
3.) I think I saw a UFO once.
4.) I've been hit on at a soup kitchen.
5.) While I haven't seen someone about to do hardcore drugs, I have seen someone prepare to shoot up.

You're supposed to tag 5, but I hate doing that, so I give my usual if you see this and you want to answer this, consider yourself tagged.

List seven songs you are into right now. no matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now, shaping your summer. Post these instructions in your LJ along with your 7 songs. Then tag 7 other people to see what they're listening to.

Except that this summer, I've ditched music in favor of podcasts. Here's what I can think of:

1. Wait, Wait... Don't Tell Me
2. The Savage Lovecast
3. "Crooked Teeth," Death Cab for Cutie
4. "Listen to Jesus, Jimmy," Reefer Madness: The Musical
5. "Eli, the Barrow Boy," The Decemberists
6. "Check You for Ticks" - by whomever... I dunno, it's always on when I'm driving with the girlyfriend. I would date a country girl.
7. "Century Plant" - Soundtrack from Camp (a horrifically campy movie with songs by Stephen Trask - the guy who did the music for Hedwig)

I don't believe in tagging people for things, so if you want to do it, consider yourself tagged.

Also, I've never been physically ill from a workout before, but the body sculpting class I just took made me nauseous. If this is what skinny people do to stay skinny, I'm sorry, I'm staying pleasantly panda shaped.

1. What exactly is the appeal of American Idol?

I've never really watched AI (no, really), except the first season's audition shows (pure trainwreck factor) and most of this season. It's part trainwreck, part enjoying the music, part making fun of Paula Abdul being stoned the entire time.

2. _________ is what's wrong with the youth of today, dagnabbit.

Overstimulation. There's too many sources of entertainment at hand which means kids are less reliant on their imagination. Much of the entertainment is passive and doesn't require thinking on the part of the kids.

Option two is poor parenting. If I have kids (and that's a big if), they're going to learn boundaries, be fairly well behaved and dress like a nun until they're 15.

3. Salty or sweet?

Oooh, hard one. I love love love sweet, but I enjoy savory more in the long run. Dessert tends to be melted cheese on bread instead of ice cream.

4. What language(s) did you take in high school/college? Did any of it stick?

Francais en lycee. Je pense que je me souviens un petit peu, mais je ne sais pas si je peut parler en francais avec les francais. Peut-etre, peut-etre pas.

I took American Sign Language my senior year of college - a lot of that stuck, but I could never actually understand anything a deaf person said to me. I could sign to them, but not the other way around.

5. To save the planet you have to give up fiber (the yarny kind) or caffeine. Which will it be?

Oh, that's just mean. Caffeine. I can survive without caffeine, I don't know if I could survive without stress knitting.

1. Leave me a casual comment of no particular significance, like a lyric to your current favorite song, or your favorite kind of sandwich, maybe your favorite game. Any remark, meaningless or not.
2. I will respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better.
3. Update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. Include this explanation and offer to ask someone else in your own post.
5. When others respond with a desultory comment, you will ask them five questions.

In other news, I'm starting to think I have a sinus infection (this is a first) and I'm really freaking hot and exhausted, but I still think I'm going out of town this weekend.

1. How did you end up on your current spiritual path?

This is one of those weird stories where the answer is that I have no real answer. When I was about 9, my mom got me the Big Book of Greek Myths for Christmas and I read it constantly and started making up little rituals to do with the moon. When I was 13, I had some friends with emotional problems and we played with a Ouija board and talked to "Kurt Cobain" and were being all otherworldly but also creepy. One of these friends, myself and two girls from my girl scout troop had a night being "attacked" by "evil spirits." When I was about 14, there was a lot of angsty journalling about how I wished I was living 200 years ago so I could be a Native American medicine woman and live in harmony with the earth. When I was 16, I was an aide at my local Girl Scout Day Camp. There's an aide overnight after all the campers leave, where the girls clean up the camp and then hang out for a while. That night, I heard a couple of girls (including one I used to hate but had become nice so I really couldn't and I hated that) discussing Wicca. The next year in May-ish, my friends and I started playing with a homemade Ouija board and met something else not nice (you'd think I'd've learned my lesson) and pucksraven did a pseudo-exorcism and we put the board away. I learned that she used to study Wicca and I found it interesting. I believe I said something to my parents along the lines of "I think I'm going to study witchcraft. Is that okay with you? Thanks, bye!" (My parents commenced to freak out about it behind my back) I bought the first book everybody buys, went back to camp, talked with those girls, one of them gave me a really good introductory list and I've been pagan ever since.

I mean, in college I found my group of freaks ad had fun hanging out and doing open, interfaith, deity non-specific rituals. I didn't do a lot of work on my own, though I got big into alternative healing and reiki. Happy pagan fun times got dropped when I moved in with my Catholic aunt (though she didn't disapprove too much) and when I moved out, it took me a while to get back into it. I'm still not fully back into it. I'm working on it. It's just hard to do eat my spiritual vegetables and do meditation and visualizing and start up relationships that have been dormant for years when there's so many interesting things on TV.

2. How did you end up in the DC area?

The short version is that I got offered a media relations internship at a theater and moved in with my aunt & her dog. The long version involves me doing a spell where I said that I wanted an internship at one of four theater companies... I got an internship at one of four theatre companies and I absolutely hated it. (Did I mention the long version makes me a flaky weirdo who believes in magic? which I totally am) But my aunt told me to go work for the Kerry campaign when the internship ended. So I did. Then I got another part time internship of death at another theater, started dating a guy there, stayed on for a while, applied for my last job at my current theater on a whim and found myself hired before I realized that the guy I stayed around for was really, really not worth it. But now I have a cool job, a cool life and a cool girlfriend in a city with fairly decent public transit, so it's not all bad.

3. What's your favorite kind of cheese?

If we're doing fancy cheese, it's brie. But you can't really melt brie the way that you can melt good white cheddar on bread... mmmm...

4. How did you meet the girl?

Two Januaries ago, my friend goingdriftless decided she wanted to be in The Vagina Monologues. So, she tried out and was cast in two monologues by The Girl, who was directing. goingdriftless also hosts a monthly stitch & bitch at her apartment. The Girl knits and came over and I immediately thought she was far too cool for me. (She is, yanno) We continued to hang out at stitch 'n' bitches and she liked me enough to invite me to her housewarming party. Where there was vast quantities of alcohol.

5. What do you want to be when you grow up?

Happy.

So, I took a long lunch and went to my first pilates class today. Holy crap, is that hard on your abs! The class is an hour and I technically only get an hour for lunch, so I was hurrying back to work in the rain, when I noticed something was off...

Everyone was moving slowly, in kind of a shamble. Great, I thought. I've been overrun by tourists. Serves me right for working next to the National Archives and having a gym next to the Spy Museum. As I quickly walked my way past them, I noticed they were all kind of mumbling to themselves. Never fear! I am immune to your touristy, direction asking ways! Stay lost! Serves you right for visiting a big city without a map! Wait... they're not talking about where they are... and they're not holding maps... and why is that little girl staring at my head and licking her lips? Why does her fanny pack wearing mother have a trickle of red stuff down the side of her mouth? Is that... blood? Why are they saying braaaaaiiiinnnnss?

Goddamnit. Not another zombie attack. Is Karl Rove in the area or something?

So, I ran back to work, where my fellow workers appear to be uninfected. Though, with my coworkers, that's often difficult to say. I mean, I do work in an office. Still, I told the box office to lock the doors, though we'll need to open up for the performance tonight. I'm working concessions and I'm not sure what I'll do if someone tries to order braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiinnnnns from me.
