Take a picture of something that made you smile.
I like that Stanley the Carolina Mantis chose my basil plant as his home. Watching him go about his business is fascinating, and I'm learning a lot about him as he grows and lives here. His buggy eyes make me giggle.
What magazines do you subscribe to, and why?
You're going to laugh.
Martha Stewart Living, Body + Soul [and now the Sisters song is stuck in my head], Organic Gardening, Real Simple, and Nutrition Watch. Mom subscribed me to the last one of those.
So I like being organized and healthy. Sue me. :D
I will probably be adding a subscription to Everyday Food and possibly Dazzling Delightful Delicious as well. Maybe. I buy them every month anyway, right? I also occasionally buy Vegetarian Times at the grocery store.
I posted some pics at LJ, but I figured I'd post a different one here.
I felt good about myself today. Documenting that for posterity, woo.
Here's the beautiful Squeegee cat. He knows how to show his best side for the camera.
If you had a band, what would you call yourselves?
Question submitted by Zoot.
Well, I *had* a band. We were The Violet Dawning and stopped performing in 2003ish. We were pretty amateur but we had fun.
The band name I like to use as my "sample band name" is always and forever Spectres With Sphincters. It just rolls off the tongue... so to speak. O_o
Can't move, can't get anything done or accomplished. I've felt like lukewarm crap on a flapping shingle lately. At first I wrote it off as "feminine problems," as I often feel ill around that time of the month. But the headaches, nausea, and general malaise just haven't really subsided. I was felling better yesterday until late in the evening, then the headache started to reappear. Today I was weak and lame, with headache and a lack of motivation to accompany. I did manage to get a few things done, but it took all I had to do so.
I wish I knew what was going on. My body generally detests hot weather, but I barely went out today, really.
Oh, and I forgot to mention how STUPID I've been. I'm not trying to crap on myself here, I'm totally freaked out by it. For example, Rob and I discussed going to one of two places for lunch. We picked number two. I showed up at number one, and I didn't think a thing of it at all for at least ten minutes.
I know, that's not so bad... I guess. But it has literally been like that over and over. And I keep forgetting what I'm saying, in the middle of what I'm saying.
Maybe I'm just falling apart. ._.
What's your cell phone's ringtone? What made you pick it?
I have two that I use primarily. The one for most people who call is a lovely call from one of my favourite bands: "THIS IS DEVO! ANSWER YOUR PHONE!"
The one for Rob is the Katamari Damacy main themesong, because that game means a lot to us, and it is cuuuute to hear as a ring.
Yeah, woo. All the important topics covered here.
Soda? Cola? Pop? What do you say? Any other regional words that set you apart?
Question submitted by Gladys.
Soda. Or, specifically, Coke. Not that I drink anything but water and coffee these days.
A regional thing I've noticed since moving to NC? "Fish Camp" - a big building that seems to serve only fish and pasty side dishes? I haven't brought myself to go to one yet [though there is one locally that features a wall-sized mural of the Last Supper, how comforting is that?], because I think I might be betraying my good ol' Bawlmer genes by eating fish that wasn't done up Chesapeake Bay stylee.
Question in response to this question: what do you locally call the summertime concotion of shaved or crushed ice and flavouring? Where I'm from, we call it a Snowball.
I posted the newest Ego Likeness video [Aviary], but it seems to be stuttering when I view it. Can someone take a look and see if it does the same for them? If so, I'll have to try reuploading if possible, I guess. :/
This is where I want to be right now.

What's one thing that you hope to do or accomplish before the end of this year?
Get in shape. Really, truly respect and care for this body that houses my mind and soul - because I'm potentially halfway through my life, too - and here I am, unhappy with my health and fitness, and possibly limiting the number of years that I have to absorb life and all it has to offer. Besides, having a husband that is so much younger than I... I want as much time with him as I can glean, and I don't want to be ancient when he's still vital. I'm terrified of that. I want to live, I want to be happy, I want to feel good when I look at myself.
Answers are never easy with me, are they!
