October 29



I have a couple more questions to answer, but I thought I'd post some photos first.  Some of you wrote with COMMENTS rather than questions and I aim to please so here you go.  Jesus, WHY cant I get this shit to indent on BOTH SIDES?!!  Ugh.  Anyhow.





RAAAR!!  So, as you can see my Silent Life Partner has gone and gotten himself a girlfriend.  I mean, I have no idea where she CAME from, because one day he and I were off on a jaunt to the Virgin Islands and the next thing I knew, she was sitting up on the dashboard with him.  I don't know what he sees in her because I went up to her the day after she moved right in and was like "HELLO.  I AM TURDMONSTER.  IT IS A PLEASURE TO MAKE YOUR AQUAINTANCE.  I SEE YOU ARE SITTING VERY CLOSE TO MY FRIEND, HOW ABOUT YOU MOVE OVER A LITTLE BIT AND MAKE SOME ROOM SO HE CAN BREATHE!!" And do you know what she did?  DO YOU?  Well, if you answered "NOTHING, she just sat there like a lox!"  you would be 100 percent right.  I started poking at her with a stick, and nothing.  I started to chew on her foot a little because you know, I'm a MONSTER and you know what I do, and do you know what she did??  That's right.  NOTHING.   They just moved over to the other side of the car and I was left all lonely and sad.  "TM," I said to myself "You are a monster!! Don't let this get you down!"  So, I got right out of the car and went up to the very first person I saw and it was a little girl on her porch and I said "Hello little girl!!"  and she pointed at me and laughed and said "What are you, some kind of monster?  You don't scare me!"  and you know how I feel about people laughing and pointing is VERY RUDE, so you know what I did next, right?  You have to know! If you don't know, you haven't been paying attention.  I ate her.  She was kind of stringy, but I felt better.  RAAAR!!!



If you were just a casual onlooker, you would think that I was getting ready to take Grayson and, say, stuff her into an OVEN or lock her in the basement or something.  Neither are the case.  She was standing on my lap, being very nicely pet, so I have no idea what the worried expression is all about.  Seriously, I think she may need a little dog therapy because she's got some issues.  Hah, this photo cracks me up.  Look at her!  Heh, heh.



So there you go.  Question answered about the Dude in my car and a dog photo.  Ask and you get.  I'm frickin awesome!!




On with the entry and the remaining questions.



1.  This is really just a random question rather than something for your journal, but did you see the Charlie Kaufman movie "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" with Kate Winslet and Jim Carrey?  I really liked it and would be interested in what you thought.  Yes, I saw it!  I loved it.  I didn't think I would, but I did and if I remember correctly, it made me cry.  It also made me want to dye my hair a fun color and I did soon after!  I'm not the kind of person who goes out and BUYS a lot of regular movies, but I honestly considered it.  I talked myself down, though because really, how many times can I watch it?  It's not like Spinal Tap or the Big Lebowski or Forbidden Zone where I am amused EVERY TIME.  I'm sure you wanted a better answer than that, but I saw it a while ago, and most of the nuances have left me, except that I hate Kristen Dunst.  A WHOLE LOT.

2.  Why don't you like the month of March?  Have you ever been to New England during the alleged thaw months?  March is dark and cold and dismal.  You'll have one kind of nice day (nice=no biting wind) and the next day you'll get spanked with snow.  Ugh, March. 


3.  Is there a reason your entries look like they are typed on an old fashioned typewriter?
It's the font I use.   Oh, and also it's because I actually hand type every entry and then scan the pages!!!!!!  I AM DEDICATED!!!!!
 
4.  I live close to you, but not a stalker.... does that make you happy/sad? Well, how close is close, and why AREN'T you stalking me?  It sort of makes me sad that you told me you live close, but that I'm not quite important enough to stalk.  TRY HARDER.
 
5.  Have you been to Hot Tomatoes?  Yes, yes I have.  I've gone for lunch.  I was underwhelmed and I thought the place smelled like a rancid, wet rug.  I also don't like places where they combine a GIANT BAR and stairs, because that'll end in sorrow for SOME unlucky person.  Usually me. 
 
6.  Do you like the toliet paper to roll over or come from under?  I like it above, but I'm not militant about it. 
 
7.  Toliet lid up or down?  I leave the lid up because the dogs drink from it all through the day.  When I forget, and keep it closed and walk in the door at the end of the day, I am greeted by the dogs all panting and staring at me like I'm the worst person in the world. 
 
8.  Tuck in corner of sheets or no?  Sheets come with the elastic doodad, so they are self-tucking. (hah, I wrote "self-fucking" first.)   I don't use a topsheet, because that's crazy talk.  It's hard enough for me to get OUT of bed, let alone dealing with having to make it what with the tucking and having to make it around the dogs who always leap in after I get out. 
 
9.  Boxers or briefs on a man?  Boxers.  Briefs make men look like little boys and that's sort of creepy.  I DO like those boxer-briefs.  Quite a bit. 

10.  Will you marry me?  You won't even STALK me.  You are totally not interested in MARRYING me.  If you wanted to MARRY me, you'd bother to STALK ME FIRST.  Jeez.



So, those were the questions.  Thank you all for sending them, I had fun answering and I hope it wasn't lame to read.  Now you all go and have a happy Halloween and don't smash pumpkins because that's just mean.
