10 Questions Meme

zuzu

From Erica at Swirlspice:

1. When is the last time you had a papercut? Today. The LAW is document-intensive.
2. Would you rather have a 5 pound tumor on your face or a 50 pound tumor on your back, neither of which could ever be removed? I’m going to have to go with Erica’s answer here: *shriek* On my back, I guess. I could not look at that in the mirror every day.
3. What was the best part of your weekend? The napping. It’s always the napping.
4. Do you like peanut butter? Hell yeah. There was a time in my childhood when I wouldn’t eat anything but.
5. List three foods you can’t stand. Mayonnaise, ranch dressing and oysters.
6. Did you make your bed this morning? Of course not.
7. When it comes to handshakes, are you firm? Yes. Not hand-crushingly so, but firm.
8. What was the most effective punishment for you as a kid? The slotted metal spoon. Which was one step up from the wooden spoon. One lashing with that thing and the memory of the sound of it going through the air was enough to keep you to spankable offenses.
9. What is your favorite way to fix/eat potatoes? Roasted in olive oil, with salt, pepper and rosemary.
10. Ask me something. If you were to wear underwear commonly ascribed to the opposite sex, what kind would it be? (Or, for the transgendered: what kind did you start wearing when you started to transition?)

  1. Oh man, nothing bugs me quite like weak handshakes. Its like touching a boney jellyfish. Fleshy, too squishy, and unplesant.

  2. How ironic that you ask that question, because I happen to be wearing boxers right this very moment!

    They make great pajamas. *grin*

  6. Somebody else who hates oysters, yea.

    My g/f will suck ’em straight out of the shell, cold, no sauce…by the dozen. Yech!

  7. Oooh I’ll play!

    1. When is the last time you had a papercut? Hmmm… I can’t remember. I think that’s good.

    2. Would you rather have a 5 pound tumor on your face or a 50 pound tumor on your back, neither of which could ever be removed? Back for sure.

    3. What was the best part of your weekend? Brunch after triathlon class. Nothing feels better than physically exhausting yourself, then sitting down for a big plate of eggs copenhagen, fries, and a capuccino.

    4. Do you like peanut butter? Yes it’s delicious.

    5. List three foods you can’t stand. Zuzu you hate oysters?! Oh man, I love them. But ok, foods I hate: Donuts, yellow corn in salad, and capers.

    6. Did you make your bed this morning? Never.

    7. When it comes to handshakes, are you firm? I try to be. Weak handshakes are sad.

    8. What was the most effective punishment for you as a kid? Not letting me go to the library. Seriously, that’s how my dad punished me once. What a stupid fucking punishment. I was so mad that when he was gone, I tied his running shoe laces together in a million knots, then cut them. So he spent 45 minutes at the gym the next morning untying them, only to find they were snipped. Ha. Showed him.

    9. What is your favorite way to fix/eat potatoes? Mashed with garlic. Yum.

    10. Ask me something. If you were to wear underwear commonly ascribed to the opposite sex, what kind would it be? I already do. Those little boy underwear. I think they’re cute. And I sleep in boxers.

    Am I supposed to ask you something now, is that how it works? Ok. If someone were to look at your music collection and guess what kind of person you were, what would they say?

    Yay, memes are better than finals!

  8. I think wearing a pair of tightie whities would be highly transgressive in a sexy way. But the chances of me actually doing it are slim. Still, a girl can dream.

  9. 1. When is the last time you had a papercut? Probably when I was doing all that damn paperwork buying a house last fall.
    2. Would you rather have a 5 pound tumor on your face or a 50 pound tumor on your back, neither of which could ever be removed? Back. Vanity, thy name is Chicklet.
    3. What was the best part of your weekend? Friday night, when it’s all ahead of you and full of possibilities.
    4. Do you like peanut butter? YUM.
    5. List three foods you can’t stand. Mustard, fish and mushrooms.
    6. Did you make your bed this morning? No. Oh, the shame.
    7. When it comes to handshakes, are you firm? Yes.
    8. What was the most effective punishment for you as a kid? My mother’s ’round-the-world guilt trips. It’s amazing how someone can nail themselves to a cross.
    9. What is your favorite way to fix/eat potatoes? Mashed the way my grandma does it – with hot milk and butter.
    10. Ask me something. If you were a kid’s toy, what toy would you be?

  11. 1. Papercut? Last week when frantically searching for my notes.
    2. Tumor on face or back? Back.
    3. best part the of weekend? Saturday night: the eat bad frozen appetizers party.
    4. Do you like PB? Yes, but never with chocolate.
    5. Three foods you hate: Bell peppers, okra, sweetbreads (you know, organ meats)
    6. Make your bed today? Does pulling the comforter up count?
    7. Firm with handshakes? Yes.
    8. Most effective childhood punishment? “Oh, sweetie, I’m so disappointed in you.”
    9. Best way to eat potatoes? Roasted with caramelized onions
    10. What expression or word do you use that makes other people look at you a little funny?

  12. 1. I don’t notice the papercuts anymore
    2. Back. A facial rumor would be too disfiguring.
    3. It used to be early Sunday morning when I would snuggle with the boy and watch the F1 races live from Europe. Now he’s older and wants to watch Dora, and I think Friday Night Date Night, with Thai takeout, beats TV with the boy now.
    4. Not a fan of PB.
    5. I hate all invertebrates and avocado. That’s either more or less than three, but that’s the answer I’m giving.
    6. Did not make my bed.
    7. I shake hands firmly.
    8. Chronic parental intoxication. The only thing worse than mom being too drunk to make dinner, was dad being drunk and throwing things and screaming because mom was too drunk to make dinner. It got me to quit drinking permanently!
    9. Rosemary red potatoes just like Zuzu said, but tossed with goat cheese (which melts on the hot potatoes). My wife got the recipe from Cooking Light years ago and we still love it.
    10. Opposite-sex underwear? Crotchless panties, to provide access both to my ass and my cock and balls. Any time I wear women’s underwear, it’s going to be a scene. (Hey, I didn’t make you ask.)

  13. What was the most effective punishment for you as a kid? Not letting me go to the library.

    My mom used to send me to my room as punishment, and I would lay on my bed and read, which didn’t qualify as punishment to her. So she made me sit on the couch, not reading. Torture.

    French fries and Hienz catsup.

    I work in a printshop, so I get about three papercuts a week.

    Hummus. Diet Sodas. yuck.

  14. Chronic parental intoxication. The only thing worse than mom being too drunk to make dinner, was dad being drunk and throwing things and screaming because mom was too drunk to make dinner.

    wow, Thomas. I’m so sorry.

  15. ‘salright. I’ve made my peace with my past and my parents (who had their good points, and both dried out when I was a teenager). I know lots of folks in their thirties who have all kinds of anxieties about being perfect parents; I don’t. I know how resilient kids are, and I know just how badly I’d have to fuck up not to give mine better than I got.

  16. 10. Ask me something. If you were to wear underwear commonly ascribed to the opposite sex, what kind would it be? I already do. Those little boy underwear. I think they’re cute. And I sleep in boxers.

    Real boys’ underwear, or the women’s underwear called “boy shorts”?

  17. 1. I’m not sure. I have a scar on my finger that’s clearly a paper cut, but I can’t remember getting it. Not sure if that’s good or bad.
    2. Back, but I’d try to cheat and shrink it with cisplat/adria or XRT.
    3. Napping. Definitely the napping. And the hanging out at the cafe pretending to work but really getting distracted by the internet.
    4. So-so. It’s not my favorite.
    5. Only three? Basalmic vinegar, alcohol, and shrimp.
    6. Don’t be silly.
    7. I hate handshakes so mine tend to be vestigial–just a brief brushing of palms. Unless the other person insists on a more serious shake, in which case I try to match pressure.
    8. Getting scolded.
    9. I nearly put potatoes as my third food I can’t stand, but then I remembered gnocchi.
    10. Underwear? I’m supposed to wear underwear?
