she made secret calls to the Monkey Man from a mansion on the hill

  1. Many people who work a Monday through Friday job say T.G.I.F. (Thank God it's Friday). In my industry, Friday is the worst day of the week, so we say G.D.I.F. (God Damn It's Friday). What is your worst day of the week?
    if this is about work, then sometimes Monday, sometimes Friday. Wrong combination of people, wrong feel during the day. Just...wrong.
  2. If you have a male dog and took it to a male veterinarian and the dog tried to kiss the vet, if the vet suddenly said "Woah! I don't swing that way. I don't kiss male dogs," would it send up a red flag to you that maybe your vet was having a little too much fun with female dogs or would you just think it's a bad joke? (This really happened to a person I know.)
    This is such a weird question, and it reminds me of my best friend's niece, who is both a veterinarian and socially awkward.
  3. If you have a car, what is hanging from your rear view mirror? If you don't have one, what would you like to have hanging in a car?
    there's nothing on the mirror. I'm not notoriously not fond of stuff hanging in the way of what I'm supposed to see when I'm driving. Like, I try to surreptitiously yank other peoples' stuff off their rear-views when they're not looking. It makes me a little nuts, thinking about it. You have all that glass there to SEE through, but you willingly obscure it...why? Because you need to be entertained, while you're driving?! People....
  4. I absolutely hate hummus. I can't stand it's baby poopish texture. I don't understand why people like eating it. Is there a type of food that you can't stand that everyone else around you seems to love?
    my former spouse is (was?) a big hummus fan. I've always thought it tasted like slimy mud, but to each his own. Um, I don't really like cold cheese of any kind.
  5. Pretend you're eating a Tex-Mex grill type restaurant where you can totally customize your items (think Chipotle, Qdoba, Freebirds World Burrito, Moe's Southwest Grill, etc.) and you're ordering a burrito. What fillings/toppings do you ask for?
    steak, black beans, pico de gallo, chihuahua cheese, lettuce, & tomatoes
  6. Does it bother you when people bring their puppies/little dogs into grocery stores in those dog purses?
    absolutely. Beyond the people who are allergic to dogs, there are a lot of people who simply don't LIKE dogs - and then there are those who would simply be disgusted at the thought of any animal hair near their food. Ugh! Leave your selfishness, and your pets, at home.
  7. Has anyone ever un-friended you on Facebook (or another social network) for a really stupid reason? I ask because my minister's wife decided to un-friend me recently because I jokingly created an image of my name spelled in penis drawings. (It's a font called Cocksure.)
    I've been unfriended on Facebook more times, by more people, than I can count, for reasons that I knew, didn't know, understood, couldn't understand, will never understand, and for no reason at all. I found out today that I've been locked out of all aspects of one "friend"'s FB life except the dribbles that he deems worthy of me. Um, thanks? For...nothing? You ass. Better to be dumped than to get that kind of backhanded nothing.
    But, of course, there are also the friends who have a real profile and a fake profile, and only share the real one with their real friends. Why bother with a fake one at all? Do your fake friends
    matter to you? Isn't that a logical knot worthy of a big headache?
  8. What is your toothpaste personality type?
    mostly stubborn and slow-witted, with moments of impulsivity & life-of-the-party-ness. Ohhh, kay.
  9. What is your favorite thing to do on your "lazy days?" Singer Bruno Mars apparently likes to dance around with men wearing monkey masks (click here to see what I mean.)
    Sometime I don't think about nothing but the Monkey Man...but I'm more of a reader. And I like to make soup, or cookies. I used to be a writer, and will be again. And someday I'd like to spend a whole 48-hour period without moving or unpacking any cardboard boxes or arguing with any utility companies.
  10. What is your absolute favorite thing to take pictures of? We all know what U.S. Congressman Anthony Weiner loves to take photos of, but with a last name of Weiner, what did everyone expect?
    hmm - plants? cats? the river? Maybe I just don't get out enough to widen my horizons & subjects. Rest assured, though, that I'll stay out of the processed meats aisle.
